Chapter 138 Enjoy reading "Geng Yun Ji"

When I read the 20,000-word novel "The Story of Gengyun" by Comrade Li Zhun in the September 1960 issue of "People's Literature", I felt as surprised as I used to sit on the cliffs by the sea and watch the sea rise. with joy.This novel describes how a young female weatherman grows and becomes strong under the training and leadership of the Party, and how she, with the support of the Party, together with the peasants around her, overcame the "once in a hundred years" "The severe drought brought a bumper harvest.At the end of the novel, this newborn character said happily and proudly: "God, he originally wanted to challenge our People's Commune, but in the end, he lost!"

This novel begins with ordinary people sheltering from the rain by the roadside, leading to a conscientious, responsible, down-to-earth weatherman Xiao Shuying who has a high prestige among the masses; as the story develops, it leads to a group of new social New characters in the novel, such as the strong party leaders of the People’s Commune: Secretary Guan, President Zhang, the girl’s father—the warehouse director Xiao Kuan…and the girl’s brother—the youth production team leader Xiao Tongchui, the impetuous and straightforward young man; (He was annoyed at his sister who insisted on correct weather reports, and it was because of the production of the people's commune and the construction of socialism.) Secretary Lin of the county party committee was the last to appear on the scene. A leader who trusts people and follows the mass line.When he trusted the small weatherman in charge and the judgment of most old farmers, he believed that the rainstorm would not come, decided not to release water to the reservoir temporarily, and asked "Do you have any other opinions", "'No opinion,' everyone shouted That sound drowned out the thunder outside!" With such a wise and correct party leader, and such a mass of people who rely on the party and dare to think and speak, how dare God not bow his head?

I say that reading this novel is like watching the tide on the seashore, because the development of the story is like a wave of snow-white waves rolling in from the distant end of the sky. When it rushes to your feet, it will look so majestic and dangerous, like thousands of white-haired lions, roaring and galloping towards you, making you almost stand on your side in horror!In the past, when I read Ma Feng's "My First Superior", I also had this feeling of suspense and joy. "My First Superior" is a story of flood control, and "The Story of Gengyun" is a story of drought resistance. In their tense scenes describing mountain torrents and imminent rain, the sound of wind, rain, thunder, and human voices ...the sound is impressive, everything is roaring, but in the end, the wise and correct party, and the people under its leadership, have overcome everything!

This article is the same as Li Zhun's other works - such as "Li Shuangshuang Biography", the artistic skills are very high, the language is vivid, and the characters are also very distinctive.For example, to Xiao Shuying's first and inaccurate report about Frost, the reactions of Secretary Guan, her father Xiao Kuan, her brother Xiao Tongchui, and the wealthy middle peasant Fan Fuxing were all different and appropriate.With the encouragement and support of Secretary Guan and her party member father, the girl became stronger. She said with gratitude and confidence: "The sky is falling, and you have to work for the party."

I remember Comrade Liu Qing said in his speech at this year's "Wen Dai" meeting, "What kind of political thought guidance and what kind of class consciousness to accept is always the most fundamental aspect of every writer. If you don't look at it from this aspect first, But first of all, from the perspective of artistic skills, it cannot be treated correctly for works of any age." The artistic achievement of "Growing Clouds" is the author's instructions to serve the workers, peasants and soldiers in accordance with Chairman Mao's literature and art. The result of investing in people's life struggles and one's own hard work.It is difficult for people who go to the countryside to "see flowers on horseback" to write such profound works.
