Luo Weizhang's work involves a variety of themes, but what he wrote the most handy is related to the place where his life set off -Northeast Sichuan country. The perseverance and beauty of that land, the loneliness and diaphragm there, have always been his fertile soil that he was located. While writing its rustic and beautiful, it does not avoid its brutal and snobbish. He is nostalgic for his hometown but does not just praise, and has a hidden but not rough criticism. He has published 10 ministerial novels and a few short and medium stories, which has formed a crickets in the literary sense. Like "Hundred Years of Hunger", "Who is knocking on the door" and "Three History" ("History of Sound", "History of silence" and "Hidden History"), the word of mouth in the literary circle is very high and reputation.

Having a specific geography and destiny direction of your own writing

Milan Kundera said that a writer has enough childhood. There are not a few writers with this view. Although this statement refers to rich meaning, it will inevitably include the meaning of the growth environment in it.

Luo Weizhang also realized in writing practice that a writer should have his own "specific geography". The environment that you survive into the blood has become a part of your own. When writing, set the novel geographical in that environment. What smells what you will smell ... it is natural, and when you close your eyes, it is extremely clear. The texture of life comes up. "

Reading Luo Weizhang's novel, it is not difficult to find that his "specific geography" is the village with a three -story courtyard in his work in many places in his works. The endless writing is because there are new ideas and new characters in. "It's like a stage, there are different plays."

But "specific geography" is not a destination. The story of the novel happen is just a mirror. To be exactly a sky eye. Through this eye, he wants to detect the changes of the times, the excavation and presentation of the darkest of the mind that people have not been realized by people, and expressing the contemporary people. Self and others, express the relationship between people's heart and environment and the times.

Luo Weizhang is convinced: "No matter how hard reality, once it is written, it will become a symbol and a fable. Realist works can only be called realisticism only in this portion, otherwise it is the dwarf or even negative of realism. Writers need to see more deeper and more far -reaching things from reality, and see the way and whereabouts to truly grasp the reality. Today, the external world is turbulent, uncertainty becomes unprecedented, and people's hearts will be more elusive and confused. , Anxiety, joy and expectations, blending and mutual life. These things are often not obvious. Writers must sneak into the inner sky of the characters in order to open up the dark canal and present the landscape of blending. "

This is the literary mission of Luo Weizhang, and it is also the direction he set for himself. Where is the main energy of a writer and what to write, it is closely linked to his birth environment, growth era, life experience, and so on. Especially for those writers who can write a certain height and depth. Luo Weizhang calls it "the direction of writing". What, it is difficult to write good works. "

As a member of the society, the writer may do very limited in real life, but with a sense of responsibility and mission, life has light. This is what Luo Weizhang saw in Tolstoy's novels and was seen in real life. "The sense of mission is not a big word. No matter what kind of career is engaged in, he is doing his own business, that is, to complete your mission. I am writing a novel. Writing the novel is my responsibility. If you do n’t write well, you will lose your job. Ancet said that this was so impressive. She said that there are two kinds of people: one person consumes identity and uses this identity to capture fame and fortune; Planting people is the backbone of society. "

A good literary writer is highly sensitive. This sensitivity does not refer to the fragile tendency of personality, but a delicate perception. In Luo Weizhang, it is mainly reflected in his capture of literary atmosphere: a sound and a picture can be an opportunity to trigger him to create a work.

Once back to his hometown, Luo Weizhang noticed that there was a person who had been around in the village and did nothing. This strange state touched him, with the help of art imagination and fiction, Luo Weizhang wrote "History of Sound". This work is considered to be "a wonderful metaphor for the history of rural soul" by critic radars. But Luo Weizhang did not consider it "history of rural soul", but "the history of natural soul".

The origin of "History History" is also because of returning to my hometown. He heard that an unknown bone was found in his hometown cave. Several words "uncovered" stabbed Luo Weizhang. These words express a fact, but it is a cold fact. “这时候，文学就该出场了，”罗伟章说，“文学的独特价值，就是赋予生命以温度。所以我决定让他活过来，让他开口说话，说出他的歌哭悲欢，并让The reader sees himself from his sadness. "He is writing in reality, but not only that," If a work is more like a person, the more like himself or someone around him, this work will be broken. The more you write, the more you write The less similar, the work becomes -because it overflows, it is bigger, and more realistic. The fiction is to go deeper and more real. "

Of course, it is not only to return to my hometown to touch the material. For Luo Weizhang, the material is everywhere, but you have to find the ability to find cracks in life. "The cracks of life are hidden in the normal state of life, a mantra, a habit of movement, behind life. Life is not small, and life is very large. What is tested is whether the writer can write that big."

The text of the middle target heart capture things and emotions is accurate

Text, pattern. After all, it is not a story meeting for novels with high literary texture. The luster of language is very important. Many people will have such reading experience: Although some novels are famous, they can't read it. The great reason is that the language smell of this novel is daunting, or a bit separate. Luo Weizhang's novel is easy to read.

In "Who is knocking on the door", I wrote "Big Sister" to cry in front of "Father". Before crying, "In this short gap, the elder sister calmed down. It is full of blue light. That is the color of sadness. The sadness from the inside to the outside makes her so quiet. Even the noisy sadness is a kind of quiet. Besides, sadness is noisy. All sadness The sound is a quiet voice. "

Those who are familiar with Luo Weizhang are not difficult to find that the language in daily life is consistent with the language of his novel. This language is not a gorgeous rhetoric type, but the accurate and vividness of the condensed and humorous. For this description, Luo Weizhang agreed, "Especially accurate, the center of the middle target is accurate, and the accuracy of capturing things and emotions is very difficult. But it is worth working hard."

Many critics have talked about Luo Weizhang's novel language. "China News Weekly" editor -in -chief of the Ministry of Culture, Yang Shizhen, said in his latest long story "Hidden History": "The language is wonderful, and it is heavy but has a transparent texture." Some publishers watched "Who are knocking on the door." To Luo Weizhang: "Your language is not written, but it has grown it yourself."

Luo Weizhang analyzed: "After emotions and thoughts, emotions are available, thoughts, and language naturally have. Language ability is a comprehensive aesthetic ability. But special language training is essential. At the age of 80, he is still practicing sentences like elementary school students. "

I often see someone say that writers are always lonely. Luo Weizhang's experience is that of course, it will be lonely, but loneliness is divided into direction. Some loneliness is consumed rather than growing. It makes people split and lose trust with the world. The "world" here is also includes themselves.

In an interview, he said: "I have discovered many times that when I am lonely, I can't write a word at all. Only by reaching a reconciliation with the external world, with internal circulation and communication, thinking and text can there be any way of thinking and text. Water juice. Retoning is completely psychologically psychologically. Even if you are in the wilderness, you can feel close to each other. Writing is really an incubation, which requires temperature, and the temperature is high. No. "
