Cover news reporter Zhang Jie

At a photography exhibition, a group of works presenting the Songhu Railway gradually become the works of the current Shanghai Light Rail 3 and Line 4 process, which aroused great interest in the writer Zhou Jianing. She is an authentic Shanghai, and often takes Line 3 and Line 4. This photography exhibition reminded her: I have used these two subways for more than ten years, and I never thought of what it would have. In the few years (2000 to 2007) in Fudan, there were railways passing between dormitories and campuses, and some very slow green leather trains would pass through the school. At this moment, she realized that the railway that passed through the school was the Songhu Railway.

On September 1, 2022, in the Beijing Unidirectional Space Bookstore, Zhou Jianing at the first sharing meeting of her latest novel collection "The Landscape of the Waves", Shao Yihui, director of the movie "Love Myth", and the "random random random of many young people who loved many young people. During the conversation of the anchor Fu Shino, the anchor Fu Shino talked about this intriguing details in detail.

Shanghai, as her hometown, the history and development of this city are closely related to the inspirational trigger point and internal power of her novel. But after reading the novel, I will find that, instead of paying attention to urban planning, it is better to say that she wants to express and present in the shape of time, and in the years of youth, some special memories. In fact, this personality, interest, and attention also determines that Zhou Jianing's novel has a consistent theme -what did time take away and what?

"Millennial Middle Article Trilogy"

"Landscape of the Landscape" is a new mid -chapter after Zhou Jianing's novel "Basic Beauty", published by Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House. The book contains the three middle articles "Goodbye Skin" (2019), "Landscape of the Waves" (2021), and Tomorrow (2022). The characters in the novel exist in the past 20 years. The background of these three stories is probably the millennium. The first one is the story of 20 years in 1995. The last two occurred in 2000 or 2003, and now it is about 20 years. But when reading, you will feel a wonderful sense of resonance with the present. Therefore, it is also known as the "Millennial Middle Article Trilogy".

Using a solid, accurate and restrained narrative method, Zhou Jialing outlines some of the inner traits of a generation of young people who grew up in the context of globalization. From the remote American town to the basement of the "Wind Forest" somewhere in Nanjing, from the south trains that are crowded with Luo Dayou fans, to the no longer existing Shanghai Dimi Dungeon, Zhou Jialing wrote the friendship in the tide of the era of the era Love and dream, in the form of novels, provide readers' hearts of "a clean and bright place", so that some people say that she uses literature to "archeological at the beginning of the 21st century".

Speaking of the early 21st century, Zhou Jialing specifically mentioned 2001. This is a very important time in her. That year, Shanghai girl Zhou Jianing went to Beijing with good friends while playing in Beijing. That was the first time she arrived in Beijing. On the night of the hotel, it happened to be the day of the success of Beijing ’s Olympics. "The bus stopped on the side of the road, and the bus was empty, but the roof was covered with people, holding various banners, and carnival all night. This kind of carnival was left in my brain. I got a eternal mark. After that, I started the day since the success of the Olympic Smart in 2001. On that day, everyone was caring. Life starts with such a happy background. "

The protagonist of "Good Goodbye" is set to a young Japanese writer named Manjima. Twenty years ago, he participated in a writing class in Edward, USA. There were many young people from other countries in the world, and everyone spent a while. He knew and fell in love with one of the girls from China. People from all over the world, everyone has a kind of friendship connection here, like making a beautiful dream. After 20 years, I visited the small town of Peoyana and reunited with my friends in my youth.

Benjamin has been a broadcaster in the 1920s and 1930s. The way he treats the radio media is to use it as a mass education method and guide him to form a "judgment training". In "Tomorrow", the story written by Zhou Jianing can be regarded as a look at the radio era in the era of the Podcast: In the concert of Luo Dayou in 2000, the two girls met each other because of the fans of the radio host Zhang Zhou. Essence Later, they participated in the competition together, played a show, play band, and spent a period of freedom together. Huang Dehai, deputy editor -in -chief of "Sinan Literature Selection", commented on the young people in "Tomorrow Party". "This group of young people obviously have some invisible positive, as if the inner eyes opened, and saw the unique vitality deep in the world. Any bond in it is not enough to entangle their footsteps where they arrived at each other ... The mild feeling in the novel did not become turbid negative, but because of the rustic gas that was positively contained in the novel, it showed a certain The inner clearness worthy of cherishing. "

It became famous for 20 years because of "new concepts"

Make it "the first huge gift"

Zhou Jialing won the first and second new concept composition contest in high school and was admitted by Fudan University for awards. At the age of 19, he published his first book "The Lover of a Wandering Singer". In 2007, he graduated from Master of Contemporary Literature from the Department of Chinese Department of Fudan University. In 2008, she went to Beijing and founded the literary Mook "Carp" with Zhang Yueran. In 2010, she returned to Shanghai to become a full -time writer. Her diligence and talent have made her a purely familiar novelist -precise language, but also sufficient poetic. It is neither a decentralized rendering, nor a common language that wins with the plot and has no light. Among their peers, people who know Zhou Jianing can feel that in her, there is a prominent "literary girl" temperament. After a simple pure literature translation and novel writing work, they will exercise, read, or walk far along the Suzhou River to observe the ecological environment of Shanghai. Zhou Jialing

It has been almost 20 years since the emergence of the new concept composition contest. Now, Zhou Jianing is already a judge of the new concept. Unlike some people become famous for new concepts, they are not willing to mention this past. Zhou Jialing is very frank. She always regards the award of the new concept as the "first great gift" to her destiny. "Why do you have repeatedly mentioned the new concept over the years? Today's reporters still ask this question? This shows that the new concept not only affects me, but also affects everyone, but also affects reporters. It affects the perspective of thinking about the media to think about this issue, and affect the reading and judgment and choice of readers. "

For a long time, the "post -80s" writer is a loud label. Now the word is fading the halo and lost the news effect. This group of inter -contemporary writers also gradually dispersed in different fields. Zhou Jianing is still a member of pure literature writing.

In the magazine "Carp · I Go to 2002", which was founded with Zhang Yueran, a collective provincial inspection of a post -80s writers gave away the younger age, trying to trace back to how the experience affects the experience at the time affecting the experience that affects the experience at the time. I am now myself. Among them, Zhou Jianing chose a deep image of typhoon Tian's private memory to write. "After the heavy rain passed, the sky was brighter. We wearing plastic sandals stood in the outside world that was changed. Cycling from the unit to the home. The middle period is a beautiful gap, the air is cleaned, and I stay with everyone in the tranquility covered by water. "

Zhou Jialing: Express spiritual resonance, emotion, and tenderness in exquisite language

Cover news: When I see some writers talk about creation, I will mention that he or she will encounter the problem of lack of subject matter in the creation as he grows up and reduces his life experience. For you now, is it a question to find literary themes?

Zhou Jianing: I think my peers are generally active participants or builders of society. After I was 35 years old, whether it was the internal environment or the external environment, it was changing violent and continuous. Whenever the creator in this wave, I would like to face the experience of coming from the face. open. When I published "Basic Beauty" in 2018, I was still thinking that creators should maintain sensitivity to record the slightly slightly shocks or split on the surface under the record. Four years have passed, and these shocks and divisions have been so large that no one can ignore it, and it has also become part of daily life. At this time, the subject matter will never be scarce, but the problem may be how to find possible exports under the shadow of spreading.

Cover news: I saw you mentioned in the creation talk article, "Thanks to Sister Jiang Yipeng for accepting my interview in the summer of 2020, I have accumulated the first material of" Tomorrow Party "since then." Generally speaking, let you make you What is the opportunity to write a novel?

Zhou Jianing: Each of these three novels stayed in my heart for a long time, so that I can't remember how their original forms are now. Before 2001, like many young people at the time, I was a fanatic radio enthusiast. Even in the high school, I couldn't catch up with the morning exercise the next day because of listening to the radio. Jiang Yipeng's radio show has accompanied me for a year of high school. But in my memory, it is a longer time.

Together with other shows, her show shaped the shape of my original world map. I met Jiang Yipeng after adulthood and learned that when the radio gave her this show, she was still studying college students. I think the times have given youth to the greatest degree of tolerance and support, allowing them to spread the uncertain voice to the increasingly strong city.

Cover news: In "Goodbye Sky Eastern", you wrote a group of stories that happened in a group of young people in the literary writing camp. In a creative talk, you mentioned that you have a similar real experience. "In the fall of 2016, my friends and I left Aiho, and finally farewell after I slept in New York all night. Friends who stayed in Aiwar drove to the forest lakes we often went to see the sun. It is still a warm lake in summer, a thorough walnut, and a deer in the forest. "Therefore, there should be you and you in this novel. The real shadow of friends, right?

Zhou Jianing: At the end of "Goodbye Skin", I said through the protagonist's conversation, "Because of good things, I can't bear to let others know at all." Three years after leaving Iowa, I handled Aihe in a literary manner. Hua's memory. But because it is too good to let others know at all, the world in the novel is only in the world on the other side of the fiction, which is the projection of memory. My friend once said that I finally wrote love in "Goodbye Skin Eclipse". I think I really wanted to write a wonderful love at first, but I finally wrote a more moving emotion when the New World opened. , Rupture and prudent. Cover news: In your creation talk article, you wrote: "So in the world of physical existence, I have never really seen the solar eclipse.对近乎永恒的自然发出的赞叹，以及随之而来的温柔。” 我觉得这几句话，非常精准表述了我在你作品里发现的最珍贵的东西——你的目的不是讲故事，也It is not to shape a typical character image, but to express the soul resonance, emotion, and tenderness of a group of people with similar experience in a subtle language.

Zhou Jianing: Thank you. I did n’t answer this question myself. I hope that the intention of my writing is unable to express it in language, only in the novel, and do not leave the novel independently. A friend said in the post -reading feeling of "The Landscape of the Waves" that encouraged me: "Zhou Jianing's previous text is very self. In" Basic Beauty ", the text has clearly shifted to restraint. It is clean and dry. Every time I feel good at reading, and feel that I have become clean during the reading process. It also started from this novel. I think Zhou Jialing has changed from a person who made a movie in a text to a person who made a documentary in words. "

Cover news: Writers always live in a certain era and real environment. Do you think you are a person who is easily affected by the social environment?

Zhou Jianing: Compared with the environment itself, I am more likely to be affected by the specific individuals in it. The emotions that people change with the environment are always easy to affect me and form a vortex around me. Writing is a response to everything in a sense, or a signal sent to the deepest black hole. But I am a person who is too cautious internally and outside. On the one hand, I maintain some consistency in the environment, some internal order, and on the other hand, it also makes my response or reply to the times. sex. In recent years, like others, I tried my best to live in the break, and I also tried my best to collect the fragments and wreckage in collapse.

Cover news: In addition to writing, you have also translated a lot of literary works. What helps the literary translation for the text rhythm and sense of language I wrote?

Zhou Jianing: For me, in addition to maintaining daily life, it will not lose order, but also a very good exercise for Chinese. It is constantly identifying and analyzing the language sensitivity between various synonyms. I love Chinese characters myself, and the visual aesthetics of pictographs are different from other languages. I sometimes think that translation is "salvage and cleaning" Chinese characters.

Cover news: Many people will still mention the new concept literature and youth narrative. In your work, the temperament of "youth narrative" has been continuing, and as the writing skills are improved, it is more and more artistic. What do you think for this?

Zhou Jianing: Creation is a new world generated after the collision of the internal world and the outside world. It is the resonance of self -energy and external energy. I am always exploring and refining my energy, and the work is the crystallization of this process.

Cover news: Is there confidence in the value and significance of literary writing? Young writers who once had full -time writing told me that in the process of writing novels, he would have doubts or sense of nothingness to his writing. Have you ever had such experience?

Zhou Jianing: I have never questioned the value and significance of literature. I also cherish all self -doubts and sense of nothingness, and cannot believe a creator without self -doubt.
