Reading Niu Meichun's new book, a student writer of Peking University, I am both surprised and happy. I am surprised by her pungent, erudite, gratifying words and fresh style of writing, and even more surprised by her excellent ideological knowledge conveyed in the training of various themes and genres.
The book Qi Qi Xing Ge is the author's youth work. The book contains the author's works from grade six 1 1 to grade six 17. The length and theme of each work are different, but they are all very interesting and readable. All the feelings about life, travel experiences, memories of studying, reading feelings, family descriptions, poems and songs, confusion of youth, wandering thoughts and mixed feelings of philosophy are beautifully written, and I want to fall into the sky, and sometimes there are surprises. There are essays, poems, novels and scripts in the book, all of which are relatively mature works. From the text experience, it is obvious that the author has a deep knowledge reserve, extremely active thinking, valuable attempts and gratifying performances in writing, theme, genre and even genre style, and his creation has characteristics, highlights and more potential.
First of all, I write my heart by hand, dare to reveal my "self" and describe my "self".
On the one hand, young writers have received a good social education at home and at school since childhood. They have a wide range of reading, a wide range of knowledge, high aspirations, good habits in life and study, and correct "three views": these are all very important. Too many of our young students have received socialist education, but they are deeply poisoned by obscene literature and hedonism, infected with habits such as internet addiction, narcissism, selfishness and hedonism, and have long been ruined; On the other hand, the author has strong perception, early wisdom and precocity, and can combine reading, knowledge and writing to create. On the road of literary creation, he has already entered the realm of creation, not just at the stage of writing and practicing written examination. It is indeed a useful material for literature, history and creation. In this way, the creative subject is pure and has a strong ability to manipulate words and convey ideas. Therefore, his poems are pure in conception (such as the prose poem "Leave a Spring in My Heart") and high in emotion (such as the feeling of reading "A title of generals in ancient times" and the prose "Standing at the master's door"), which is the author's clear vision of young ambition and lofty sentiments; Novels, plays, lofty and touching images (such as the novel A Girl Who Wants to Be a Boy and the script A Dream of Dunhuang), or bizarre and enlightening life (such as the novel A Doll of Inspiration, Dead Love, Dreams and Encounters) are all caused by the author's daydreams, which is the externalization of the explosion of the small universe of the little writer.
The author loves nothing more than the snow in the north (such as the snow in prose), the lush grassland (such as the grassland in travel notes), the distant desert and the drizzle in the south of the Yangtze River (one of the broken pens), and the human feelings (such as the smell of prose) and the Yellow River at his feet (such as the poem I stand on the bridge and watch the Yellow River). There is nothing like the desert Dunhuang (such as the script Dream of Dunhuang, the travel notes "Mogao Charm" and "Dunhuang Miscellaneous Feeling"), the heroes of the ages (such as the feelings after reading "A title of generals in ancient times", "Mogao Charm" and "Dunhuang Miscellaneous Feeling"), the lost childhood (such as the prose "Childhood Time") and the wonderful childhood (such as
Poetry expresses ambition, prose expresses emotion, and novels and dramas are excellent styles to imagine themselves, express their life ideals and realize themselves on paper. The author often indulges in fantasy and gains a lot. From small print fragments, to long articles, to short stories, to long plays, the little author has realized the gorgeous turn and wonderful butterfly change of imagination, imagination, creation and construction from "ego" to "ego". For example, Persuasion has Chekhov flavor, and Dream is a mature modernist novel.
Secondly, it is rich in content, wide in subject matter and diverse in genre.
As mentioned above, "cutting lines and songs" covers a wide range, showing a colorful life and expressing personal unique feelings. His creation and trial writing have a wide range of themes and diverse genres. Needless to say, the author is impressed by the world and misses the ancients for a moment, not to mention that she can say "self" and "self" with the help of words. Unique features, highlights and surprises will dazzle us. In addition to being good at writing poems, novels and plays, the author is commendable for transplanting and using ancient writing styles, writing a unique essay "You hurt me, my child" and a novel "The Feeling of Heartbeat". The former describes the mother of a student who is addicted to online games by "telling the truth from her husband's mouth", which makes her hope to become a dragon, and even iron will not become steel. With quiet, simple and mature pen and ink, the latter depicts the sad image of a middle-aged professional woman who has been around her husband and son all day for more than ten years and completely lost herself. Her "thrilling feeling" that attacked her from time to time like a lifeline failed to save her in the end. She devoted herself wholeheartedly to the family, not only failed to become a model of caring for her husband and educating her children, but was enough to spoil her husband and children. What a good warning.
Similarly, young writers are "sensitive and easy to write", and pay attention to topics such as disability, mental retardation and beggars with their gentle pens, such as Another Love, which is full of emotions and ups and downs, and writes about the blind grandfather's silent care for his ungrateful granddaughter who doesn't know human affection; Monitor focuses on the image of a boy with cerebral palsy who was taken as a school volunteer by his mother Bandu. It is both sad and warm, which makes people feel good. The article Beggars describes the psychology of different beggars in detail. The author also wrote about the preference for boys over girls. The novel Girls Who Want to Be Boys, which reflects campus life, focuses on the story of a tomboy's patient efforts, but the driving force behind it is the feudal residual thought of "patriarchal". Beyond the author's age and experience, the writer also involves the topic of "anti-corruption". Going Home is similar to Lu Xun's Hometown. At the end of the article, we can see that the reason behind Chen Po is desolate is that there is a "big official doing something", which is thought-provoking. Writers also pay attention to life and death (such as in the view of life and death), think about loneliness (such as loneliness) and ask fate (such as fate). Out of the psychology of teenagers, she naturally pays more attention to the protection of small animals such as "little black stray cats" and does not ignore intergenerational conflicts.
Among many genres, the author's expertise in narrative literature and his ability to deal with historical themes are obvious. It is no exaggeration to say that the author's writing has reached the stage of all-round development and expertise, such as graduation, growth, Dunhuang dream, etc., and has performed well. In particular, The Biography of Huo Qubing, about Gong Dou, not only shows the author's ability to grasp the big theme from simplicity to complexity, but also reveals the author's hero worship thought, which is a mature work.
A drop of water reflects the whole sun. From the above analysis, it can be seen that although the theme of "Seven Stars Cutting Songs" is extensive and the techniques are diverse, it is by no means useless. The writer's brush strokes can focus on the imperfection of life, the pain of growing up, the resistance to ordinary life and the worship of heroes, thus attracting attention and saving.
Finally, the author is highly conscious in style and has his own style.
Different kinds of works in the collection are perfect, fresh and gratifying despite their different styles. The author is precocious and precocious, and maintains a high degree of enthusiasm for writing, writing style, inspiration, creative attitude and other issues. Singing while Walking contains the author's self-instruction-her literary theories, such as Prose, express her views on prose, Feelings express her sensitivity and interest in the language of the motherland, and Inspiration Doll tells the moment of inspiration in the form of a stream-of-consciousness novel, which is remarkable.
On the cover of the book and in front of each chapter, the author has words to express his writing ideas. For example, on the back cover, he said, "I cherish words, and I also believe that words cherish my feelings." In the preface of the chapter "Meaning", the author agrees with the view of "art for life" and thinks that "words should be meaningful" ... writing should not be a word game ... "It is precisely because of this knowledge that the author can always create beautiful scenes with beautiful writing and humorous warnings. For example," Things are human "begins with famous aphorisms and is associated with" spring, summer, autumn and winter " In the use of scene blending, the author is even more familiar with it. Even in long narrative literature, such as Biography of Huo Qubing and Dream of Dunhuang, we can use scenes to express our feelings, blend scenes and live together.
Buffon said, "Style is people." With the good support of theme, writing style, techniques and ideas, it is not surprising that the author's works have their own style. It can be said that Niu Meichun already has her own style and appearance. It can't be ignored that his prose has traces of Lu Xun's Bing Xin San Mao and Chekhov's flavor, such as Persuasion, but it still shows its own characteristics on the whole. His creation can not only be flexible and beautiful, but also guide readers to be beautiful and agree with their own views. For example, the novel "Ordinary Road" sees the beginning of thoughts and artistic skills. The author has a preface "About this Story", saying that after seeing her story, the teacher elder sister of Peking University voiced: "It is really a helpless thing to combine the youngest time with the current high school education system." Whether it's real writing or just the novel's fascinating skills, it has played a crucial role.
What is more gratifying is that this young author is even very creative in style and genre. As mentioned earlier, Dream is an abstract novel, Inspiration Doll is a stream-of-consciousness novel, and Biography of Huo Qubing and Dream of Dunhuang are mature scripts and biographies respectively.
In short, to know how talented a girl is, please see Niu Meichun's Let's Sing.
