Chapter 42 Seventeen, this novel (2)

However, its author is still too young compared with the extremely sensitive, extremely important and extremely political subject matter.Like himself, the novel may suffer from malnutrition and underdevelopment, weakness and allergies, calcium and Sismine deficiency.Its appearance is not magnificent, its self-confidence is not firm, its analysis is not exhaustive, its presentation is not powerful, its speculation is not clear, it is in a powerful era, in an era that believes in struggle and strength , believe in the moment of decisive ideological battle, at a time when "whatever the enemy opposes, we must support, and whatever the enemy supports, we must oppose" as the standard, in nuclear weapons, NATO and Warsaw Treaty, violent revolution and firmly believe in war In the unavoidable era, when suppressing anti-rebellion, land reform and hegemony, resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, anti-three anti-five evils, and cleaning up the middle class... when everyone is united in forging the iron-clad country of the proletariat, in a majestic but surprisingly rough year, whispering Isn't it absurd to tell a little nonsense about two ignorant, affectionate, innocent, good and weak young people?It's almost mournful, what can the husband say!

Did I ever joke about overcoming bureaucracy with fiction?No, it is more convenient and more operable to use bureaucracy to overcome novels.What is needed here is another measure, another value judgment, another statement. If you don’t use the ruler of what you oppose to overcome what, (although some aspects of the work contain the meaning of what you oppose and what you don’t oppose), but use the angle of reading, the angle of meditation and reverie, reference, masturbation and puzzlement, and pleasure From the perspective of resonance and placement of the soul, from the perspective of aesthetics and image thinking?A novel that can’t overcome anything is “overcoming” (Who made Wang Meng so accustomed to using the term of this particular age?), declining (I used this word for a reason in “Long Live Youth”, that is, aging), Overcoming indifference and indifference, overcoming oblivion and indifference, overcoming boredom and lack of creativity, in a word, the novel wants to retain youth.Fiction is not something powerful.In many cases, novel authors belong to the weak. The strong can work in politics, military and business, but they can't see writing.The novel's only power is to move the heart, to grieve, to sneer, to startle, to frown, or to laugh.The possibility of fiction is to affect reality by moving people, more or less, often little, quickly and slowly, often slowly.Sometimes the fate will come and go, and the novel can be a smash hit and make a big splash. After the time has passed, you will know that the novel and its creator are not lucky, and it will definitely not last.

Revolution needs literature, ideals, criticism, and sensational agitation of literature.Literature loves revolution, the idealism and critical edge of revolution, how well Marx said that the proletariat wants to use cannons to criticize the old world, which is called criticism from weapons of criticism to weapons!Literature also loves the tragedy and romance of revolution, moral accomplishment and self-sacrifice.Young people love literature as well as revolution. Young people are the vanguard of revolution and sometimes become the main force.The revolution makes the depressed, burning, impatient and sincere youth clear in their goals, bright in the sun, do what they think, and enrich themselves.However, the revolution will not always appreciate the emptiness and swing, extreme and fanaticism, high-mindedness and low-handedness, fragility and emotionality of youth.As for youth, when it discovers that the reality of revolution is very practical, the romance of revolution is not permanent, and the promise of revolution is not 100% fulfilled, especially when the revolutionary dream imagined by your brothers is not the revolution itself, it will What will it be?What will it make a fuss about?What will it be nervous about, what will it think about, and what will it choose?

Well, give them some decent novels to read.In a great and brand-new place that has been cheered by the whole people for several years, let us also listen to the undercurrent-like voices deep in our hearts. This is what the author himself said about Differentstyle after half a century.
