Chapter 106 Regardless of beauty and embarrassment, there are articles that surprise the world

Regardless of beauty and embarrassment, there are articles that surprise the world Feng Tang From the first time I met Li Wanbing, I heard her nagging: "It takes time to become famous, and it takes time to become famous. Feng Tang, you should publish your novel as soon as possible." I knew she was encouraging me while persuading me. So, while answering her, I also tried to comfort myself and make excuses for my laziness: "I am willing to sit on the bench for ten years, and my articles are not empty; I am a late bloomer, and I have accumulated a lot of money." Recently, Li Wanbing finally published her debut novel. In "Everybody Says I Love You", Sister Li is already three years old.Before the Spring Festival, the sample booklet was printed, and Li Wanbing called a party at a bar on Sanlitun South Street.There are free new books, free beer, and all the gods, priests, ghosts and monsters in the circle are here.The binding of the book is clean and charming: the title in Chinese is plump; the title in English is spelled correctly; a small photo of Li Wanbing, wearing a flower vest.The book was heavy in my hand, and I was quite happy for Li Wanbing.

From the first time I met Li Wanbing, I heard her keep nagging: "What do you think I look like? Don't curl your lips. If Bill Gates packs for me and spends tens of millions of dollars, my appearance will be peerless." Beautiful woman." When Sister Li said this, her eyes were a little peachy, and her breasts were shining, and there was a middle-aged German man standing beside him smiling and nodding; I thought what she said was really reasonable.Now that her novel has been published, it is difficult to answer this question.If you say Li Wanbing is good-looking, you are calling her a beautiful writer; if you say that she is not good-looking, you will inevitably roll your eyes.It's better to use Ma Xulun's comment on Yang Du's attitude, regardless of his beauty and embarrassment, "his own articles surprise the world."

Everybody Says I Love You is a novel that everyone should read. One of the points to watch is to point directly at women's hearts.In today's society, there is no need to deliberately open your heart. All kinds of contradictory information have come flooding in: ancient and modern, Chinese and Western, arts and sciences, good and evil.Information explosion itself is a very scary word.When I was in medical school, in order to let the little white mouse understand the situation of modern Chinese scholars, I listened to it Cui Jian in the morning and Mozart in the afternoon; A Bing, listen to the news broadcast without rest on Sundays.Three months later, the little white mouse went crazy.To describe this situation, the classical "time, place, character plot" and the modern "stream of consciousness magic reality" are all pale and weak.Li Wanbing's approach is close to Zen: no time, no place, no characters, no plot, no consciousness, no magic, and point directly to women's hearts.For example: "...the breeze on a midsummer night has the scent of fermented glutinous rice, sneaking into the night with the wind to moisten things silently, the subtle chemical reactions between men and women always occur at such moments, using a lot of extravagant vocabulary and European-style long A feeling that can’t be expressed in words. The enzymes in Little B’s body are constantly secreting a large amount. After half a bottle of red wine, Little B’s mood is transparent and chaotic. At this time, she has exposed herself dangerously to this man’s sophisticated eyes But Xiao B said to himself over his own strength, if there is a beauty in a man, he is." Another example: "Little B was surprised to think that he was married. Then, he fell into a sudden trouble , her troubles intensified in the still time, until she shed tears, she thought bitterly, after so many years, this person can still make me cry. But the tears are not for anyone, when the tears flow , she found that the mysterious magic of first love that had enveloped her for so many years was gone forever. Now he is a mediocre man, as mediocre as her youth. She let herself be immersed in tears, years, she used to be The softest years ever poured out, and she could hardly breathe for such foolish infatuation and pain. They would no longer disturb her peace, and for this she breathed hard the air of oblivion."

The second highlight is to highlight life.I'm adamant that writers have an obligation to document the state of their lives.It is easy to draw ghosts but difficult to draw people, and it takes the most effort to describe the state of life.So almost all the popular or popular senior writers wrote about gods, ghosts, emperors and generals, women of the Six Dynasties, Japanese devils, and gangster tycoons on the beach.It is always easy to play tricks, but it is always difficult to "listen to thunder in a silent place", and it is even more difficult to hear the fun.The same novel, about 200,000 characters, I read Lao She and laughed out loud three times; Wang Xiaobo, twice; Kang, once.When I read Li Wanbing's "Everybody Says I Love You", I laughed out loud once and snickered once.Li Wanbing used his identity as a reporter to watch everything he should and should not see: remote mountainous areas, poverty among young and old, the formation of cults, Internet scams, performance art, angry youth, and rogue writers.For example: "...this small town is not much different from most small counties in China. The only thing that can indicate that it is a city is a square in the middle of the street. There is a pretentious sculpture on the square. You are vying for a ball. I always see such sculptures in small towns, in various forms: workers, peasants, soldiers, democracy and science, humans and animals, fiction and reality They are distributed in many cities and become an ugly landscape that symbolizes urban civilization." Another example: "...I said to the village chief: You sing really well. The village chief said with a smile : What is this? The bridegroom sings well. He sings popular songs." Another example: "...We just arrived at the place where we had evening tea, and the sky began to snow heavily. Ji Kang expressed Literary feelings in the late 1970s, come on, let this snow wash away the darkness of the world, he opened his arms exaggeratedly, and hugged each of us, we took turns hugging, showing the friendship of revolutionary comrades.”

As for whether this novel can make "everyone say I love you", I have two concerns.The first worry is that the story is not strong.Although stories cannot help us better describe the state of life at all, stories are the reading expectations of the public.One day when I came home, I saw my mother was concentrating on watching a TV series. In the TV series, there were three men and three women in a polygamous relationship. After that, my mother described to me the occurrence and development process of this polygamy story to me at the dinner table.So I came to the conclusion that "an old woman can understand" has been a necessary standard for popularity from Bai Juyi's time to today, and the necessary condition for "an old woman to understand" is a story.The second worry is that the logic is not smooth enough.For example, the structure can be inherited and combined more compactly, and the language can be trimmed more cleanly.

Judging from the date of birth, Li Wanbing belongs to the 1970s.No matter how much the writers of the seventies were scolded, sooner or later they would occupy the stage.No matter how others belittle and deny it, the writers in the 1970s did not have too much "suffering and deep hatred", they had enough Chinese and Western knowledge, less rules and regulations, more experience of thousands of books and thousands of miles, post-modern neo-classical, and more Sooner or later, novels in a complete sense will be produced in their pens.Li Wanbing's "Everybody Says I Love You" is a step in this difficult process.
