Chapter 102 laugh away

Absolute theory is a grand theory that talks about absolutes.Judgments are everywhere, often. When I was young, I not only loved to listen to them, but I was also fascinated by them.Later, after a lot of experience, understanding the theory of fairness is the guide that can really lead you forward. You can be addicted to listening to the absolute theory, but you must not take it to your heart, especially if you can't follow it.It has become my current habitual reaction to laugh away. In Kuala Lumpur, I participated in the "Hua Zong Literary and Art Camp" organized by "Sin Chew Daily". There was a segment where writers, scholars and literature lovers who participated in the literary camp had free group discussions. I also chose a group.During the discussion, a gentleman who obtained a doctorate in comparative literature in the United States said that in order to write Chinese novels well, one must be proficient in at least one Western language. Only by being able to compare the subtle differences between Chinese and Western characters can one hope to write Excellent work.This is a kind of conclusion.On the spot, a Malaysian Chinese boy was panic-stricken. He said that Malaysian Chinese of his generation would receive trilingual education since childhood. , Malaysia is a country of the Commonwealth of Nations, and it is also a compulsory course; Chinese is the carrier of Chinese culture passed down from one's ancestors. Of course, it is more friendly, and it is harder to learn. Since Chinese has been spoken since childhood, it is often learned the best.He now writes literary works in Chinese, and Malay and English are only at the level of writing general official documents or instructions. It is difficult for him to be proficient in them, and he rarely feels the subtle differences between the three languages.So what should he do?Is there any hope of continuing to write novels in Chinese?He had a pious and discouraged expression as if he was listening to the Buddha's voice but was unable to do so.Doctor of Comparative Literature patiently answered questions and continued to develop his conclusion. He took the verb "bei" as an example and analyzed the differences in the use of Chinese, English, French and German. The conclusion is that only with such knowledge Only then can we hope to write good Chinese novels.I couldn't help laughing out loud when I heard this.At that time, some literature lovers raised other questions, and the doctor did not notice my reaction.I generally don't argue about the final argument, and I know that most of the finalists are paranoid people with extraordinary self-confidence, and arguing with them will only waste the time of both parties and the audience.But after the group discussion, I found the young man who was confused after hearing the conclusion, and chatted with him outside the house under a poinciana tree, and I told him my opinion for his reference: knowing one or several languages ​​other than Chinese Language and writing, of course, will play a good role in Chinese creation. For example, among Chinese writers in the last century, Lu Xun and Ba Jin can both translate and create. Translation and creation complement each other.But there are also writers like Shen Congwen and Zhao Shuli who don't know a foreign language and have written very good novels in Chinese.Therefore, as far as writing Chinese novels is concerned, proficiency in foreign languages ​​is not a prerequisite. If you have rich Chinese thinking about the world and people's hearts, and can understand when reading excellent Chinese novels, then once the inspiration explodes, it is very important to control Chinese to write good novels. There is hope!

The charm of Juelun lies in its crispness, the sound of gold and stones when throwing the ground, and it is full of stimulation and even explosiveness.People who have stayed in the normal state for a long time will feel dull and look forward to a breakthrough. When they hear the thunderous and hearty conclusion, they will be immediately excited, and they will hold it tightly in their arms without thinking about it.Today's commercial advertisements often use decisive methods to grab people's attention and captivate people's minds, such as "If you don't accept gifts during the festival this year, you will accept ××× if you accept gifts."Those who make final remarks are often not malicious, and most of them have a character that is not surprising and endless.After returning to China from Malaysia, I got together with several literature lovers, discussing the final opinions on literature that I have heard in recent years. Everyone gave many examples at once, such as "What kind of novelist has not published a novel!" ( Should a string of names from Anton Chekhov to Lin Jinlan be deleted from the history of literature?) "What kind of novels do you write if you don't understand philosophy!" "There is no poetry in China now!" (anger does not produce good poetry) "Except for Zhang Ailing, the history of modern Chinese literature is not worthy of any other female writers!" (if Zhang Ailing is still alive, would she smile at the opponents?) ... During the discussion, everyone laughed from time to time.

Laugh away from Judgment, not hate Judgment, because there is a difference between Judgment and fallacy. Fallacy is pure nonsense, and Judgment often contains reasonable elements. As long as you don’t be confused by it, abandon its surly It's interesting to appreciate his persistence, but it's interesting to listen to it.
