Deng Jingwu

Mr. Wang Huo and I have had three intersections. The first time was for the "Mao Dun Literature Award Series Study", I met Mr. Wang, and later completed and published "Self -Confirmation of local literature in the global integrated context:

From the perspective of all the materials, Mr. Wang Huo pursued his life is that he was taught by his father to be a "good person". This is not only reflected in its life, but also in its entire creative process. Mr. Wang from his century, you can see an era. For example, he and He Jingzhi and Gao Yan have the same experience of studying in Sichuan; in the 1940s, they were equally enthusiastic about revolution with Wang Meng; When intervening in life ", Mr. Wang Huo wrote the biography of revolutionary heroes" Ji Zhen Guo ". Zhou Yang's reflection, Wei Junyi and Li Rui, etc. "Two Two Truths", Mr. Wang also has "Ninety Looking back", "There is only one goal, that is, respecting history." "Dancing under the" Loyalty Banner "is" touched by the soul ", it is unforgettable, emotional, lively, and prominent in human nature. Rebellion teachers, chief affairs director, and supervised Qin You's merit, etc., are far better than the description of the Kuomintang agents.

The fourth "Mao Dun Literature Award" (1998) award -winning work "War and Man" is an example of Wang Huo's power response to Western discourse power in the global context. However, the anxiety of local literature self -confirmation makes novels work hard at nationalized literature, but also has a mistake that deviates from traditional Chinese classics and converts to traditional classical Chinese. The author Wang Huo's personal experience and "why people" write the political consciousness, which is the reason why the "epic" expression of the work "epic". The creation intention of the novel is "a long tragic history that people have seen China in the past", and to show the "hope, belief, ideal, patriotism and national spirit, historical essentials" of people at the time (part 3), To achieve "thinking about life from history, and discover history from life" (part 2). Through the life course of the protagonist of the work, the author summarizes "How can a behemoth like the Kuomintang be rotten? How did the democratic party and democrats produce? How should the Communist Party be learned from history?" "Great Say" and explain the nature of revolutionary history! The content of the novel "almost everything is closer to political content, rarely 'idle pen", and at the same time, because of this, the novel presents a prominent regret: too long! "War and Human" described the oldest literati topic of Chinese culture: Shi and Hidden! It's just that we put on modern coats -political turmoil and great changes in society, so that traditional cultural value concepts are scattered to modern intellectuals in a chaotic way: Confucianism, Shi, Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Democratic and Authoritarian, rule of law and corruption , Justice and evil, follow the waves and the qi festival ethics, personal desires and social responsibilities ...

Wang Huo's "War and Man" (Picture Source: Cover News)

From the overall outbreak of the Anti -Japanese War in 1937, to the start of the Civil War in 1946, it constituted the overall narrative framework of "War and Man": the psychology and behavior of the strata of the "capital" in Nanjing City, the "Xi'an Incident" and the Chinese politics scene. The reaction caused by the turbulence between different political factions, the tragedy of the Nanjing Massacre incident, the protagonist ran to Wuhan and avoid living in Hong Kong and the place of Chongqing. Corruption, Chongqing and Jiangjin Life, special agencies politics, devoted to democracy ... The protagonist Tong Shuangwei is a modern "scholar". The "Shizi" Qi Festival, the "clear stream" type surpasses the dirty, and the essence behind the pride is still indignant by the person who is in power; the life of the "non -proletariat" determines the inevitable gap of Tongshuangwei to the Communist Party -a traditional "Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi In the face of the confusion of modern huge changes, the embarrassment and existence of traditional personality spirit in modern life.

The childlike interest of the "Red Flag Incident", the "chicken's bath water" at the beginning of the "Red Flag Incident", the Nanjing Massacre and "Yin, Zhuang Wedding" tension arrangement, the shop of the "monkey brain feast" scene Zhang Yangli, especially the memories of "Fengqiao Dingqing", the people of "Zenlin Minding", the integration of scenery, and emotions, and the metaphor of "mountains in the nihn" to Ouyang's life and fate are all wonderful strokes. The description of a large number of vivid life scenes and customs of the novel, smoke and Jinling -shaped victory, Wujiang Town style and Suzhou famous, Hanshan Temple, Fengqiao, Humble Administrator's Garden, Caotang, Launan Mountain landscape, etc. They are all rendering a specific appearance of "Chinese life" to try to reflect a "Chinese taste". In particular, the combination of a large number of classical poems and the description of the scenes -even the old set of converts to traditional Chinese literature reflects the self -confirmation of the author's self -confirmation of national literature in the global integrated context. In the award -winning work of the "Mao Dun Literature Award", "War and Man" is the most powerful and the most obvious language operation errors in the "elegance" of literary language -traditional classical classicalization. The author's vigilance of Western literary discourse hegemony has led to the return of the language value of the novel's language value to the traditional language system, but the misconduct of the operation has moved towards the old -fashioned old set. In the end, there were four sentences, only congratulations to Mr. Wang Huo's 100th birthday and his 80 years of creative career:

In the ancient times, it was called the seventy generation.

Although I can meet in the year of the period, it is rare to meet Huazhang Lanting Pavilion.

(Lanting, this meaning of the literary world of "Qunxian Bi at least the salty collection")
