When I went back to my hometown this time, I looked through two collections of Wang's essays: Hometown I can't go back to and Daughter of the Yellow Land. The article expresses her childlike feelings for her hometown, her love for writing and Shaanxi opera since childhood, especially her love for the yellow land where she was born and raised.
How much a person loves his hometown to write such affectionate words.
I went back to my hometown from Shanghai that year and threw away a lot of things. When choosing books worth taking home, Wang's Hometown I Can't Go Back is the one I want to take home for collection. Her writing is simple and durable, with profound connotation, which is worth copying and learning, and can even be left for children to read.
At the moment when the title party and chicken soup are rampant, Wang's article is a clear stream of impetuous society.
The feelings between people and things have their own causes.
Because of writing, I met Wang. At the beginning of 20 16, I met in a wechat writing exchange group. I know that she graduated from Beijing University of Political Science and Law with a master's degree. She wrote millions of words in her spare time and lived in Beijing, which made me feel unattainable.
Therefore, I dare not get too close to her, nor dare I chat with her privately. I just silently looked at her words and paid attention to the dynamics of her circle of friends.
Learn about her childhood, her schooling experience, her writing path and her yellow land in the article.
On August 20 16, Todi's first book, Hometown I Can't Go Back, was pre-sold. I ordered this signature version on WeChat, which is my first close contact with her.
Some time ago, I invited Todi to share it in my live room. At this time, we talked a lot by voice. She talked about her friend Li Sanqing, who was writing together at that time. We have been writing until now.
She told her fate in words, and this time she felt that she was not so far away, but very kind, like her sister next door.
I didn't know there was a place called Qin 'an on the land of China until I met Wang.
Wang He and her words have impressed and imagined Qin 'an's intangible cultural heritage such as yellow land, Shaanxi opera, Qin 'an calligraphy and painting, straw painting and so on.
Qin 'an, the literal symbol written by Todi, is the place name with the highest frequency and an inexhaustible source of inspiration for her.
For example, Mo Yan's Gaomi in Shandong, Zhang Ailing's Shanghai, and Marquez's Macondo town. I think that one day, Tianshui Qin 'an Dragon City will be famous all over the country because of his younger brother.
Every mainlander who has read Totti's article will have a new understanding of Qin 'an, Tianshui, Loess Plateau, local customs and people's living conditions in Gansu. ...
This is also the meaning of being a scholar. Let me, a person far away from Anhui, be curious about Qin 'an, far away from Tianshui, and even want to go there.
As a child, Toddy has worked on various farms. In the book, she said without hesitation that she was born in the countryside and has a unique Gansu-style Mandarin.
She thinks it's her birthmark, just like her name, Todd. I can see that she is a lovely and funny little woman who is good at self-deprecating.
/kloc-After 0/985, the Wangs had five brothers and sisters. In the eighties and nineties when material resources were scarce, it is conceivable what kind of hardships her parents suffered.
As the fourth girl in the family, the concept of incense is deeply rooted in the countryside. After she was born, her mother named her Totti, which means that she hopes the next one will be a boy, and it is also a way for her mother to resist the indifference of secular people.
The word "Totti" is a spiritual lamp for her parents and a way to place hope in helplessness. I don't know what spirituality her name has. Sure enough, she has a younger brother here, and her mother and family feel a hundred times happier, as if they don't have to feel inferior anymore.
In Wang's article, I learned that her grandfather, father and sisters all love Shaanxi opera, which may be influenced by their families. Under the poetic and picturesque lyrics of Qin Opera, she has a good writing style since she was a child, and she can embark on the road of writing, which is not unrelated to Qin Opera and that yellow land.
Toddy has been a teacher since he was a child. She has been in the top three in thousands of middle school students' grades.
It is not easy for rural children in the depths of the Loess Plateau to get into key universities in Beijing by their own efforts without extra points and high-quality educational resources.
I remember that she wrote in the book that she studied well in the local area since she was a child, and when she went to school in Beijing, she lost her sense of existence in an instant. Students can sing and dance, versatile, but she can't even speak standard Mandarin, so she is very lost.
Without her previous self-confidence and pride, she was far away from her hometown for the first time. She could only use words as an outlet to vent her mind, keep a diary in QQ space, miss her relatives, recall her childhood and adolescence, and look forward to the future.
Beijing is the world of Peking Opera, not the soil suitable for Shaanxi Opera.
Writing has kept her going until now. On the subway to and from work, on the bumpy bus, she took out her mobile phone and wrote philosophical articles about warm affection and beautiful love, more about the yellow land of Tianshui Qin 'an.
Reading and writing, with almost stubborn strength, is an imperceptible madness in her bones. In one year, she wrote nearly 200,000 words on her way to and from work.
During the day, she is a rational legal administrator. Last month alone, she won five cases. After work, in writing, she is also a sentimental literary youth.
Wandering in the torrent of legal work and the fireworks of life.
She said: "Writing is a kind of practice, an excellent way of introspection and a redemption of the original self. I am a clumsy person. I can only make my messy life more poetic through words, so hurry up. Sealing time. No matter how busy you are, you must insist on writing your deep feelings for life in warm words. "
Todi has been away from her hometown 16 years since she went to Beijing to study in 2005, but every holiday, she devotes her holiday to Qin' an hometown in Tianshui instead of going to other tourist attractions like her classmates and colleagues.
My hometown is the whole world to Todi, and all her beliefs are beyond others' understanding. Therefore, her two books are mainly related to her hometown.
She held a grand literary exchange meeting in Qin 'an and made an appearance on Qin 'an TV. The book Daughter of the Yellow Land was collected by the National Library of Peking University, and its talent was recognized and praised by many peers.
I didn't know many Gansu specialties written by Wang before. I really hope that one day in the future, I can listen to her face to face and see what the paddle surface in her works looks like. I also hope that more people will know about this talented woman.
Wang excerpted several paragraphs and * * * for everyone:
"Artists are the darling of God, and each of us is a born child. However, even if the baby is a child, facing the world with a sincere heart, even if it is riddled with holes, it will not lose its childlike innocence and vision of discovering beauty. In this way, we can not forget the way we came and our initial feelings, because we are all children of the yellow land. "
"Time is the bottom for people after all. Perhaps, when we come to the end of life, we will find our inner orchid and know what we should pursue most. Only it can let us see the ultimate vastness of life and discover the last hometown of life. The most real thing is the artistic conception we weave ourselves, the place where the quiet soul lives. " -"Poetic Dwelling"
"Five hours on the way to and from work every day, how long! For five hours, I couldn't find my place in the crowd. Crowded, noisy and obscure, it collides with my taste and makes me as small as dust and humble as earth. ...
Everyone's life has mixed feelings, and there will be an optimal vent window. For me, this window is used to write words. For a woman who can't be indifferent to everything, joys and sorrows are written in words, which will eventually become the simplest wave mark on my soul. "-"Never forget, there will be repercussions. "
