Author:Yangzi Evening News Time:2022.08.31

Jiangnan literature is magnificent and delicate, the literature of northern Jiangsu, and the literature of the lower river. Perhaps you will find more about the world hiddenmen, life wise men, and social observers. The Yangtze Evening News and the Jiangsu Provincial Writers Association jointly launched a series of micro -documentary films of the "New Observation of Literature and Soviet Army", which represents the cornerstone, talks about the Jiangsu writers, and open their "daily literature". How do they salvage history and immersion reality between inheritance and innovation, control the waves of the pen, and vomit the world, just like the stars flashing. In the fourth issue, we approached new members of the Soviet Army and were known as a writer Hu Xuewen, one of the "Four Heroes of Hebei Literature". In the spring of 2021, he left his hometown to Ning and joined the family of Jiangsu Writers Association.

With the "fictional ancestor" for seven or eight years

When he first met, Hu Xuewen gave people the first impression of sincerity. During the speaking, with the weak northern dialect, he talked with reporters and talked about the life of Nanjing. Surprisingly, after the dialogue, he did the same. Born in the local people in Guyuan County, Hebei Province, the word "loyalty and honest" seems to have been engraved into the bone marrow of the writer Hu Xuewen.

There is a hotbed of "inspiration" in the hearts of each writer, like Mo Yan's Gao Mi Northeast Township, and Hu Xuewen's Zhangjiakouba on the countryside. The flying soil smoke on the side of the road cannot bury the emotions of people's hometown, and it can't stop the enthusiasm of the author's writing. Like the previous works, after eight years, Hu Xuewen's novel "Has Life" once again set the theme to the land he is familiar with.

Hu Xuewen and "Life"

Talking about the reason for the creation, Hu Xuewen said that he has always wanted to write a family's century -old novel. One day of light rain, he took an umbrella to walk while walking while walking while thinking about the structural problem of the novel. He saw a person in front of him holding an umbrella. At that moment, he was suddenly inspired, and immediately wrote the "umbrella structure" on his book when he returned home. This period of inspiration came inexplicably, and even Hu Xuewen himself couldn't explain: "Maybe in the genius, just think about it to find out."

The story of "Life" starts with life. It is based on the ancestor of the ancestor of 10,000 people. In the old village, "taking the boss" is the role of the closest to life, and many people come to the world by relying on the hands of the biological mother -in -law. Qiao Damei brought more than 10,000 people to this world. According to the status of her mother -in -law, she participated in the lives of each family, came into contact with the world, and touched the lives and hearts of ordinary people.

The three years of writing, plus the idea of conception, reached seven or eight years. After the book was stopped, Hu Xuewen had faced the problem that could not be pulled away from the story.

Alien writer Lai Ning

Hu Xuewen was born in a small countryside in Guyuan County, Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province. In 1995, he published his debut "Riding a Donkey to Watch" and officially entered the literary world. In the past three decades, the work has continued, and his work has won the Lu Xun Literature Award, the first Chinese novel biennale ... He has also been selected as the list of Chinese work associations with these years of fruitful results and was elected vice chairman of the Hebei Provincial Writers Association.

However, in April last year, Hu Xuewen made a major decision -resigning the position of vice chairman of the Hebei Provincial Writers Association, joining the Jiangsu Provincial Writers Association, one month later, he moved his family to Nanjing. In the past half of the year, moving from a familiar city to another strange city, for anyone, has to say it is a challenge.

After coming to Nanjing, he didn't rush to buy a house, but he first leased the room near the unit and enjoyed life slowly. Talking about the reason for the relocation, he said with a smile: "A place has been long, inertia, bluntness is here. I want to go on like this, and I may not be so sensitive to life." In him It seems that life sensitivity is very important for writers who are dedicated to literary creation. "I have lived in the north for many years, and I can absorb some southern culture after going to the south. I also want to have some changes in writing to see myself. Can you make a different creative inspiration? "Hu Xuewen likes Nanjing very much, the climate and diet here, the roast duck restaurant at the door of the house, and the delicious duck blood fan soup, he likes it. Before coming, he just watched Ye Zhaoyan's "Nanjing Biography". After arriving, he wanted to learn more about Nanjing and also rode a bike to see where Qinhuai River was separated. "The community I live in is a place where the natives of Nanjing are relatively gathered. When walking at night, I look at them to talk about their homes in three or three places. When they meet, they will say hello to me. It feels like a neighbor who has lived for a long time."

Self -claiming "boring" writer

Hu Xuewen reads a lot of time every day. After writing a few novels last year, he used the main time this year to read. He always said that he was a boring person, and writing was his entire life. He doesn't like social networking, and he doesn't like to hold his mobile phone to brush his circle of friends and watch short videos, saying that he can't stand the eyes.

But he never worried that he couldn't keep up in this era, "because in this era, it is the closest way." He believes that if a writer is wrapped in a lot of information, he will really lose his ability to think. "One Human energy is limited. I want to use my energy more on what I like to do. I think it ’s enough to understand other things."

Hu Xuewen tells the feeling of Ning Ning from the north

In 2015, Hu Xuewen's "Running Moonlight" was adapted from the new director Chen Jianbin into the movie "A Spoon", and he won major awards such as the Golden Horse Award, Golden Rooster, and Huading Award. "Spoon" is a nickname of Tuhua, and in Hebei's words, it means a fool. But the fool may not be mentally retarded. Sometimes, the "spoon in the spoon" is the simplest, honest and cute.

Hu Xuewen was honest, and he also brought "spoon gas". His "spoon gas" was manifested in his persistent pursuit of literature. He doesn't like to meet the trend, and does not use gorgeous words, just writing it. For 30 years of creation, he has always used the most ordinary people in the countryside as the protagonist. From the beginning to the present, the accumulated works have shown the changes in the tide of urbanization in China to rural and farmers.

Local literature expression

The century -old country is a literary question that writers are tireless. Hu Xuewen's local literature creation is determined to come from his former rural life experience. After graduating, he returned to the countryside to teach, allowing him to observe the "little people" around him, and also strengthened his determination to create his local literature.

Later, due to work mobilization, he lived in the city for a long time, but he never interrupted the root buds from the village. Until now, Hu Xuewen always goes to the countryside every other time. Don't tell anyone who he is, wearing the most common clothes, digging potatoes with farmers, and chatting with them.

Many people who leave the countryside now say that rural hometown can't go back. He felt that this is a problem that does not exist. "That's my root, I want to go back. In addition, the countryside is changing, I want to understand this change."

Hu Xuewen told reporters: "I think my imagination will be limited to writing the theme of the city. It is still more natural to write the countryside, and it is better to use my imagination. It is also easier to have passion." He writes the countryside, and it may not be the current village. Push forward, write the countryside of the 1980s, the countryside of the 1990s.

He believes that the writers naturally stood with the little people and quoted what Murakami said in a speech in a speech: "If there is a strong wall and the broken eggs in the wall, I always stand on the side of the egg."

Ji Shuhong tells Hu Xuewen in her eyes

"Zhongshan" deputy editor -in -chief Xun Shuhong has known each other for a long time. In her eyes, Hu Xuewen was low -key, friendly and simple, and had no special requirements for material life, but he was improving literature. We are also fortunate to publish this work. "

He Tongbin talked about Hu Xuewen's local literature creation

He Tongbin, deputy editor of Yangtze Jiang's literary comment, said that as a writer of realistic local literature, the northern hometown is the starting point of Hu Xuewen's creation, and it is also his important source of spiritual spirit. The root of local literature is grown in the land and is born with vitality. "So more than 500,000 words" There is a living ", there is no extra word and content. Together, the changes in northern China, which have been in the northern country of nearly a century. "

Hu Xuewen overlooks the distance

The significance of the writer represented by Hu Xuewen is that they provide us with a spiritual channel for the connection between rural and cities in China. "When we face a fast -paced life, we can't find ourselves, and feel confused and tired, there is such a way. A path to return. "
