"From the town teenager to Shanghai youth, I am very grateful to this city. From my ancestors to my father to me, it was between traveling and going back and forth. I got a new perspective and new theme of this city." Yesterday, the writer The Ph.D. Physician Lu Lulu appeared on the "Jing'an Seminar", and around the "two generations of people's relay travel", chatting online and offline talk about the stories that happened in Shanghai and the town.

In the 1980s and 1990s, a group of Shanghai people wrapped in the peaceful Jiangnan town, and the educated youth children and the children of the factory and mine. The teenager runs between the town and Shanghai, like repeated practice. One day, they left the town and rushed to their own fate. Looking back many years later, the Xiajiqiao, Longwang Temple, pastry shop, arcade room, and the second national factory in the small town, the group portrait of the intergeneration people have been rebuilt in a inverted manner. A period of history and generations of life answered in the years.

——The articles in the collection of prose collections of "Out of the Town" have first been published in the Wen Wei Po. Lu Ming set out from the family's own experience. He wrote the fate of the young people of a generation of small town, and behind it, there is more history and the times. "In the past, I found that many changes in modern history are related to the flow of population. How Shanghai has become a world -class metropolis from a small fishing village, and it also faces many large -scale population flows. What kind of sadness and joy occurred, and what kind of Shanghai story emerged? "

In the chapter of the "Papaya River" in "Out of the Town", Lu Ming's "Holkinna" said that there are only three colors of sketches, black is shadow, white is sunlight, and gray is transition. "I think, a child will never become an adult for no reason. He also needs to transition. He will pass through a river, or a ditch, and you will become an adult. With one sound, it turned into papaya. Is Hallinna a bridge or a boat? Maybe one day, I will live as a less annoying adult like her. "At the fork of fate, he already wrote that he wrote it Different urban stories.

Children with dual identities, the direction of Shanghai contains both the young people's longing for the city and the desire to return home from the parents. Lu Ming lamented that when the town teenager returned to the city, the "transition" was not only a physical distance, but also a psychological gap. "Now driving from the city center to the town is only 40 or fifty minutes. Five hours can come to the grandmother's house on Nanjing West Road. Leaving a small town to Shanghai school, facing strange environments, textbooks, and classmates, you will inevitably have a sense of loneliness. Until the senior high school, he feels that it really integrates a new environment. "

Writer Pan Xiangli once described in the book review article that this batch of descendants "simply like a small guideline needle born like a big guideline needle, their hearts, regardless of day and night, point to Zhengnan. Shanghai is the south of the south ... ... These humanoid compass, in the small town On the top, they are from Shanghai; when they arrive in Shanghai, they are small town; in short, they are foreigners everywhere. The small compass gradually gave birth to the root of emotions on both sides. " Is Qing "back to Shanghai" or "going to Shanghai". In fact, Lu Ming is not able to determine where his hometown is. In her opinion, because of the two hometown, Lu Ming's hometown emotions shuttled between the town and Shanghai, like a back and forth back and forth, with a strange sense of space. In addition, he looked back at his childhood and teenagers today after he was adult, and standing in the "past and future" as the past "present" in the past. The layered taste brought by interweaving is rich and thick.

This "rich and thick" is also reflected in the many fresh details in the writer's pen. Lu Ming recalled that before the age of 15, I was obsessed with the boat on the bridge. "At that time, there were many tributaries in the Wusong River. When I saw the boat coming along the river, I would pass through a small bridge hole. , Drive to the distance. I like to run to the bridge. There is a stone arch bridge over there. You can see a boat on the bridge. After that, you will have some reveries. where."

Lu Ming expanded from the Shanghai story to Jiangnan to write. "The soil and water, vegetation, and traditional crafts of the Yangtze River Delta also changed slowly." When he couldn't write, Lu Ming habitually carried a schoolbag on the train or bus to the town for one night. "Many of the bridges and old streets that I saw when I was young, but my friends were still there. I went to eat and chat with them, and provided a lot of sources of inspiration." From this, "Out of the Town" presents the town in the town. Water and soil style, juvenile group image, intergenerational emotions and historical fate. "Out of" the town, the action of "out" was completed, the green leather train of the town arrived in Shanghai, but Lu Ming did not stop here. In Shanghai, look back at the town and think about the significance of the town behind him.

It is reported that the "Jing'an Forum" is a cultural brand jointly created by the Shanghai Jing'an District Library and the Jing'an District Writers Association. Enlightenment of the mind and abundant mind.
