Chapter 122 Huang Yan: Postscript of "Until Death"

It's still the same old saying, Amy wrote it, and I wrote the postscript on my behalf. What is postscript?I personally think it should be some NOTES of the author about writing a certain book, which can include how to write it, why it is written like this, what experience, what thoughts, etc., and I would also like to thank those who helped me during the writing process .If you feel that there are still some areas in your book that need to be improved, you can also take a few pennies. All in all, it's about the writing of the book. The epilogue is not an "epilogue" and is not used to explain the ending of the story.The postscript is not a "post-sacrifice", and it is not used to remember the characters in the story.Some readers were very dissatisfied with the postscript written by Jingqiu, saying that they didn't talk about the third child at all, and thought the postscript author was very cold.Others said that I was crying when I saw the end of the story, how could you write about other things instead of about the third child? You have diluted my sadness, so I should criticize you a few words?

I have nothing to say to such an ignorant and outrageous reader. My postscript is also to write about Amy’s code words. If you are here to see the end of the story, it’s still too late to quit now.You can also test this, whether you are a "storyteller" as Amy said, or Amy's stupidity. "Storytellers" are people who only read Amy's stories and are not interested in anything else she writes.Ai Yuan certainly welcomes "storytellers", but please don't call yourself "stupid" when you speak. Without further ado, let's get down to business. In terms of narrative method, this story is still Amy's consistent method of writing, that is, it is only written from the perspective of one person. To use a "well-written" statement, it is a "restricted third-person" narrative method. "Third person" is easy to understand, no need to explain, "restricted" means that the angle of observing things is limited, not all-round, multi-angle, and ubiquitous.That is to say, the whole story is narrated from the perspective of the heroine Shi Yan. It is what she sees, hears, thinks and thinks. Amy writes what she sees and hears. Amy writes what she sees and hears. Don't just guess.

Aiyuan people are already very familiar with this narrative method, and many of them have already liked this narrative method, because this narrative method is very objective and true, and it is in line with the way and law of people's understanding of the world and life, which is impossible for everyone in life. To get into other people's hearts and see what other people are thinking, you can only infer from other people's speech and behavior.This way of writing is also easy to cause suspense, prompting readers to use their brains, directly apply their own way of observing the world and understanding life to reading, and learn from reading to improve their own way of observing the world and understanding life.

But among the non-Aiyuan people, there are some people who don't think so. They feel that Amy has not written many things clearly. What does Huang Hai think?What do you think about Excellence?Why didn't you write it?You don't even know what Huang Hai thinks?Then what else do you write? These "innocent and toothless" readers are polluted by those "God-like" writers who consciously or unconsciously follow the creative principle of "theme first" and have a concept in mind that they want to convey to the readers, so Make up a story and create a group of characters to illustrate your ideas.Such an author is naturally "God-like", because the world he writes is created by him. He tells the characters to die when they die, and he tells them to live when they live. They say what the characters think, and the characters think what they think. How to explain the behavior of the characters is how to explain the behavior of the characters, and the readers just wait for the author to understand the world and interpret life for them.

There used to be a saying: "It's tasteless to eat buns that have been chewed by others."This "chewed by others" sounds really disgusting. Presumably no one likes to eat buns that have been chewed by others, but there are still many people who like to eat buns that have been chewed by others when reading novels, so there are so many authors Chew buns there. It is said that Chinese people admire the authority of writing, "it is said in the book" and "it is said in the newspaper" used to be equivalent to "could it be false?".I don’t know if the words in the past have such authority, but I know that in this era of information explosion and high commercialization, “what is said in books” and “what is said in newspapers” must not be equated with truth or facts, especially In this Internet age, everyone can publish things online, and it is very easy to fake photos. If you take it as real without analysis, it is very dangerous.

Now that I have come to the "authenticity" of the text, I would also like to reiterate my consistent position: if treating the story as real can make you appreciate the story better, then take it as real; Take the story as true, and make you miserable and depressed, then take it as fiction. Some people believe in death and don't like my answer, so they must find out whether it is true or not.Then I have no choice but to advise you not to be so sincere, and you cannot expect a positive or negative answer from me.You can criticize Ai Huang for being dishonest, you can also threaten not to trust Ai Huang in the future, stop reading Ai Huang's code, you can even spit out all the stories about Ai Huang that you have read before, but the answer I can give This is it.

In terms of language, the story is also Amy's usual way of writing, using her "Amy accent", which is the tone she usually speaks, and she herself said "I have never spoken seriously", so she told me not to rush Go to hell because she's afraid she won't be serious enough in her eulogy.She can't use language like "two lines of sad tears rolling down her cheeks", of course she also uses some gorgeous and solemn words, but most of them are for funny. It is said that in some countries in Asia, there is a writing language for writing, and a speaking language for speaking. The two can be very different, and their so-called writing language is called "FLOWERY LANGUAGE" in English. There are many words that do not convey SEMANTIC Meaning, only conveys rhetorical meaning.It is said that those old Americans who teach foreigners English writing are most afraid of such students, because there is no correction, it is completely melted in their blood, and they have been writing like this since childhood, no matter how concise and natural they speak, as long as they write, Those FLOWERY sentences poured out from the pen.

Amy herself studies the style of writing, so she knows exactly what kind of writing is called FLOWERY. She doesn't like FLOWERY's writing very much, so she always writes in spoken language. Many people in Aiyuan like Amy's congenitally. A narrative language, because everyone is stupid, and liking Amy's language means liking your own language. If you encounter it in life, everyone's speaking must be similar to following in Aiyuan.Some people are gradually getting used to Amy's language, and once they get used to it, when they look back at those FLOWERY LANGUAGE, they will inevitably feel a little sour and sometimes get goosebumps.

Among the people who read along the way, there are very few who hate Amy's narrative language. If they hate it, reading it every day becomes a kind of torture.Amy's language generally does not become a dyslexia. Even if you don't find the beauty of her language, it will not affect your reading of the story.Some understanding readers can often see a few grimaces in Amy's language, and therefore give a knowing smile. But among those who read Amy's story for the first time, some of them did not feel comfortable reading it, because they had a frame in their minds about the so-called "literary language", which was to be quite different from the spoken language. If it was the same as the spoken language, they would I think you are "poorly written".In fact, narrative language is developing towards the direction of living language, the world is like this, and so is China.In the past, the written language in China was classical Chinese, but the spoken language was vernacular. Later, vernacular was gradually used for writing, and classical Chinese writing was eliminated.I don't know how long this FLOWERY narrative language will live, but the general trend is to be eliminated.

Amy's arrangement of the plot naturally followed the "hanging gun theory" and pushed from the back to the front.What to write and what not to write are basically determined from the beginning, but how detailed each thing is written can be changed according to the situation.She originally planned to write 50 episodes, and then go off to study for a Ph.D. in statistics. The writing will be relatively brief, and everything will still be written, because if it is not written, it will affect the development of the story, but it will not be written in too much detail.Later, because of changing jobs and other reasons, she didn't read it for the time being, so she wrote it in more detail, and there were many more episodes.In the last few episodes, due to the interference of gossip news, she didn't want to write in detail, so she briefly covered them.

In terms of subject matter, Amy doesn't like to write about major themes or major events.She certainly would not have thought about writing such a subject matter. When she read it, she skipped war and peace and only read the love part, because she was still very young at that time, and she was still a little interested in love. Now, maybe even skip the love part.She will not write all the stories of people in a village, or write all the stories of a family in a book. Some people call writing major themes or many characters "thick", and think that Amy's single-line narration of small personal themes is "thin".But too much can't be chewed off, and too much can't be chewed off.It is difficult to write a comprehensive account of a major event. It is impossible for those who have experienced it to fully understand a major event, and those who have not experienced it are even more hearsay.For the same event, people at the center and those at the periphery must see it differently, and people at the top and those at the bottom must see it differently. If you want to write a true and complete historical style, I am afraid it will be impossible. It is possible, that's why some people say "History is a little girl who can be dressed up by others". This story involves student riots, but Amy didn’t write the student riots specifically. The student riots are just a part of the development of the story, just like the Cultural Revolution in the movie. It happened in that era, so it was inevitable that it would be involved.But writing about the Cultural Revolution is not the main purpose, nor is it a condiment, it is just the background of the story. A famous writer said that history is a hook on which he hangs his stories, which means that he does not write history specifically, but sets a scene for his stories.Amy writes about the student riots, but it doesn't even count as a hook, because the whole story doesn't just happen during the student riots.The student movement was written because the development of the story was related to the student movement. If there was no student movement, Joyo would not be in trouble, and Shi Yan would not have asked him to go abroad. The story would be different. Abbe said that "until death" is another work of Amy that can enter the history of literature after "Love in the Hawthorn Tree". I would like to add a premise to her words: if the history of Chinese literature is compiled by Abbe , or something made up by any idiot in Ai Yuan :) But if it is compiled by the group of people in the domestic literary world, it will be very difficult, because that group of people always prefers works that describe the ugly side of human nature.They equate the ugliness of human nature with "profound", and the beauty of human nature with "shallowness". Therefore, when writing about intellectuals, you must be decadent, confused, empty, and boring; In Chao Qin Mu Chu, writing about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law must be incompatible, life-and-death, as if it is not profound, unliterary, superficial, or vulgar. In fact, this reflects that they are always a few paces behind the history of world literature, and they are still stuck in an era that has long passed in the history of world literature.Yes, there have been one or several eras in the history of world literature in which outstanding works exposed the ugliness of human nature. Literary History, But that era has passed, and the ugly side of human nature has long been portrayed.Ai Youyou said that exposing the ugly side of human nature in an age of hypocrisy and hypocrisy can be regarded as profound, because you can see what is under the surface, but in an age of ugliness and devastation, you are still exposing the ugliness of human nature. Not too deep, anyone who has eyes and can write can write a book depicting the ugliness of human nature. Therefore, Amy never pursues "profound" writing, and she has long since stopped pursuing "seeing through" the world. Cynicism is the patent of "cynical youth". see the bright side of life.She doesn't like to write about the ugly side of human nature, especially the kind of hopeless ugly, where a couple breaks their friendship, makes noise, intrigues, cares about every detail, you cheat, I cheat, what are you writing about this kind of story?Is there still less in life?Just like a reader wrote in Sina Bokri: I have seen too much ugliness in life, if I still want to pick up a book and continue reading the ugliness of life when I get home, then you still tell me I can’t live ? But Amy didn't want to close her eyes and make up a few beautiful stories to write.She herself despises such stories, and she doesn't want to use such stories to fool her.So the stories she wrote are stories of those who have experienced the ups and downs of life and reached the realm of "the sky is cool and autumn". They believe in love not because they are naive and credulous, but because they have a more practical understanding of love. workable definition.They are kind, not because they are simple and ignorant, but because they are wise and know that helping others within their ability is good for themselves and others.They love and live that way because they like to love and live that way, and they will not be happy if they don’t love that way and live that way. Some people say that a writer like Huang Yan is "desirable", while a writer like Amy is "not to be sought but met".I agree with this statement, not because of what I did in bed with Amy, but because I have studied literary theory for a few days and read some literary works. The writing of the first word is the result of serious study, hard work, and hard work, but Amy's writing talent is innate. She is a natural storyteller. She has been able to tell stories since she was a child. In a play, after the cripple plays the dumb, after the man plays the woman, who looks like who, it is a treasure of her parents. To tell a good story is to tell the characters stand up one by one, tell Zhang San to be like Zhang San, and tell Li Si to be like Li Si, and everyone cannot be the same.Amy has written a series of stories, each story allows us to see a group of living characters, excellence is excellence, neither Huang Hai in the same story, nor Huang Yan in another story. I know that everyone is looking forward to this epilogue, mainly because they want to know the ending of the love story between Shi Yan and Huang Hai, but due to various reasons, I can’t say more. What can comfort everyone is that Shi Huang and Huang Hai have survived all hardships and lived happily together. thank you all!
