A true biography can only be written with remorse for others.

American writer Emerson

Repent and face reality. If you are wrong, you are wrong. Don't explain it. Repent, but don’t overdo it.

Fudan University teacher Chen Guo

Regular confession is a scam, then confession becomes a reward for evildoers. ...He who repented twice is the most abominable hypocrite.

French writer Balzac

Confession was an invention that was very beneficial to believers but mainly very convenient to the priests of the Roman Church. Thanks to this method they can know all the family secrets, can cause quarrels between husband and wife, and, if necessary, can stir up religious rebellion. In countries where confession has fallen out of fashion, the Church has lost a powerful tool for exerting influence.

The work "Frog" focuses on the analysis of the human soul. More than ten years ago, I I have said that writers should write about the most painful places in their souls. The fundamental purpose of writing is not to criticize a certain policy, but to analyze human nature and self-salvation. Writing about people's souls and their confessions, this may be the value of the work "Frog".

A man confessed to a priest that he hid a man in his home during World War II and collected his rent. The pastor reassured me that there was nothing wrong with this. But, this man asked, should I tell him that the war is over? When we believe that love is still there, it has passed after all, and we are unwilling to face the reality, as if we are kept in the dark. The question is: Who is collecting our “rent”?

Chinese modern writer Zhang Ailing

Tolerance and repentance: When repenting, you should not expect the other party to tolerate you and forgive you. This original intention proves that you are not sorry in any way, you just hope It is a selfish and utilitarian purpose to get rid of the other party's accusations as soon as possible. When you are hurt, if the hurt can be healed in time, then you have to be merciful and merciful. Don't let others carry a heavy mental burden for this life because of you.

I really hope to hear a cry from the real estate industry tonight. If your conscience is still intact, you should cry; if you still have a little love for your profession, you should cry; if you can fully understand the housing feelings of the people in the world, you should cry; if you still have a little If you feel ashamed, you should cry; if you can sincerely repent of your sins, you should cry;... If you can really hear a cry, sympathize with the earth, and move God, I think this industry can still be saved.

Love is a myth, but it is not a fairy tale. When I was thinking about this, I suddenly felt that I was no longer the Song Tianyang I used to be. I hugged him tightly. His tears soaked my sweater. I am not forgiving him, not condoning him, or coercing him to repent with gentleness. I just forgot for a moment that he had hurt me, or in other words, when I discovered that I loved the person in front of me, the humiliation and pain caused by him became less unbearable with this discovery. Love is the sunset. Once enveloped by it, the dirtiest things become scenery and have a reason to exist.

I think no one dares to say that they can grasp the times with ease. You said those critics, have they also grasped the core spirit of this era? Not necessarily. No matter how broad a person's vision is, it is actually very one-sided. Everyone's values ????think they are extremely correct, but in fact they are relative. Of course, I am not emphasizing the theory of relativity. We require a writer to fully grasp society, which is a luxury. However, we can ask a writer to try his best to extract something core and relatively universal from the spirit of the times. This requirement is not excessive, and even this thing is difficult to handle. What exactly is the most valuable thing? We now often emphasize humanistic care, compassion, and repentance, which have gradually turned into slogans and even become a stick for beating people. I wrote a confession, which I thought was very profound. But some people say that your repentance is a one-sided understanding, and that you don’t understand what true repentance is at all. Tell me what true repentance is.

He talked about Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky. But I feel that they are not so in tune with today’s society and are also outdated. So a writer can only write something that is relatively correct.

People Weekly: In many interviews, writers of your generation have expressed full confidence in their own writing, but some have cautiously expressed their inability to grasp the experience of the times. I wonder if you have similar feelings. ?

Writer Mo Yan, winner of the 2012 Nobel Prize for Literature

In the first stage of creation, he writes about bad people as good people, and in the second stage, he writes about good people as bad people. These two They can be combined together, like when I wrote "Big Breasts and Wide Buttocks", that is, I stand from the perspective of people, not from the perspective of class or party. Good people also have shortcomings and dark sides, and bad people also have good aspects. Then The starting point is a bit higher than the revolutionary war literature of the past. After this stage has passed, the next stage should be to write about oneself as a sinner. Of course, this does not mean that the whole article is a confession like Rousseau's "Confessions". To write about oneself as a bad guy is to let the protagonist of the novel have a kind of feeling about himself. The consciousness of self-repentance and self-reflection is what Lu Xun actually said long ago when he was evaluating Dostoevsky. This kind of great sinner, the torturer in the hall, is to torture out the kindness behind the sin. We must also interrogate the evil hidden behind kindness. Why is Dostoevsky so great, great and classic? He even surpassed Tolstoy in this regard. Although Lu Xun mentioned this very early, I think our literature in the new era has never gone deep into this aspect. We are all complaining. Scar literature, so-called right-wing literature, are all complaining and accusing this. Society accuses politics, accuses bad people, and oppresses the self and the good, without repenting from the opposite side. Is there hypocrisy behind the good? Are the persecuted bad people willing to be bad people? Did the persecuted bad person once act as a bad person who persecuted others? Did he originally want to persecute others but failed in the struggle and was persecuted by others? I think right-wing literature is already quite profound, but soul torture is still not enough.
