Chapter 3 original preface

The same two stories about the plateau, "The Last Hun" is aggressive and defiant, but it tends to be peaceful and attached to oriental humor.This is a somewhat strange fruit tree grown in the soil of traditional Chinese culture.Let it dance with branches and leaves, swaggering between elegant palaces and market stalls. Yes, I would expect both standards to accept it.I write honestly.Don't be horrified by the vulgarity, desolation and helplessness of life that I have shown.I didn't add a single point, nor did I subtract a single point. I just honestly outlined the picture of human existence and the original ecology of life, that's all.

How did my handicraft workshop produce such a handicraft?I am a little surprised.I don't think I fully understand it yet.Is it evil?I have no idea. The book was originally titled "Flower Case".This is because many colorful events and cases in the book are caused by "sexual" reasons.Later, considering that the name was too vulgar, I gave up and used the name "Six Six Town".Later, I considered that the main purpose of the book was to create Zhang Jiashan, a legendary character on the plateau, and Zhang Jiashan was the last folk legend, so it was renamed today.

Tradition is disappearing, classical spirit is disappearing, and yesterday's culture is disappearing.People like Zhang Jiashan may be the last knights wandering the plateau.Decades and hundreds of years later, children will probably only be able to see such characters from fairy tales told by their grandmothers. "When a child thinks like this, childhood is ending!" This is the words in a novel by Mr. Yang Zhengguang.That's how I feel right now. Here is a man of great wit, of great humour, and of a man with the stamp of tragedy upon his forehead.In his chest, there is something compassionate and worthy of our awe. This kind of thing is called "kindness".Because of this, all smiles have a bitter connotation.

I have spoken to readers about this character in newspapers in the past.I said: "The endless troubles of human beings at this stage and the variety of life are all expressed here. There is a character named Zhang Jiashan, who uses the existing rules of human beings and various anti-rule methods to deal with these kinds of worldly affairs." Strife, grease the cogs of a troubled life, keep it chugging and spinning." The character Zhang Jiashan is reminiscent of Don Quixote on the desolate plateau in Spain.Yes, they have a lot in common, they are both noble and kind, shrewd and stupid, and they all try to correct society with medieval dreams.However, compared with Don Quixote, in Zhangjiashan's era, there were no horses for transportation—not even skinny horses that would fall down when the wind blows.Therefore, he seemed more humble and practical, with more dirt on his deep-cut cloth shoes.

"Today, people all over the city are dressed in festive costumes, blacksmiths are hammering out music in steel, girls are dancing, and a moving news is being sent throughout the city: one of them is going to set off to conquer The world is gone. At this moment, in this world, there is probably no one more noble than him!"--this is what people use for Don Quixote.If people apply the same to Zhang Jiashan, I will be grateful to him. This book took a year to conceive.During one year, Mr. Zhang Ziliang, a famous playwright, and I went to the most remote mountain villages in northern Shaanxi several times to interview and go deep into life.Then, we used the materials we collected, basically each wrote half of it, and completed the long-form TV series "Good Shows".This novel is rewritten on the basis of my half of the script.

I originally wanted to write it as a lighter, ironic, more readable, box-office-worthy work, but during the writing process, I realized that I cannot be shallow.This novel, apart from the above features, is also a profound and serious work.Like a schemer who regards the world as a plaything in his hands, I carefully build it in my small room, day and night; and I smoke a high-end cigarette in my hand. The work is done.I handed it over as painfully as a baby I had produced.It will exist independently of me.At this moment, my eyes are a little wet, and there is a feeling of weightlessness in my heart.I am too tired, let me rest for the next period, and after my physical strength recovers, I will go to Xinjiang to finish another novel "Fortress" that I have been planning for 20 years. The story of "Fortress" was published in the second issue of "Girlfriend" magazine in 1995.

Let me say a few more words.Unamuno once called his countryman Don Quixote, the national soul of Spain, a dream entrusted by Spain to a man named Don Quixote.Here, if it is not offensive, I would like to say that Unamuno's passage can also help readers enter this. Long gongs and drums are no fun.I would like to repeat the above. Gao Jianqun Drafted in the autumn of 1995 Spring 2007 Minor changes
