Chapter 140 An Ode to the Seas and Mountains of the Motherland——Read Guo Feng's Prose Collection "Mountains, Streams and Islands"

The first time I read Guo Feng's prose was in the winter of 1955. When I returned to my hometown—Fujian—a friend gave me a copy of his prose collection "A Shipboarder" bird".The beautiful scenery of my hometown I just saw: the mountains, forests, streams, coasts, and the heroes and characters of my hometown are all vividly described in his prose.He said what I wanted to say, and what he wrote was so delicate and profound. He wrote something that a person like me who only loves these landscape characters and is not familiar with them can't write! "Bird on a Boat" is written as a child to describe the landscape and characters around him. The style of writing is so simple, simple, and fresh, which left an unforgettable impression on me, making me feel like "I have discovered another poet." "The joy.

Since then, I have been paying attention to Guo Feng's articles. Recently, I saw Guo Feng's new collection of essays: "Mountain Stream and Island". It gave me a lot of excitement and joy again!In this anthology, the scope of Guo Feng's descriptions is wider, and the mood and style of writing are more joyful.Mountain streams, forests, islands, fishing villages... are all reflected by the red flags flying high in the face of the mighty east wind, appearing to be shining red and full of joy.These works are an ode to the sea and mountains of the motherland, an ode to the great Communist Party of China!

Under the excellent situation at home and abroad, and at the climax of socialist construction, our 650 million people, under the leadership of the wise and correct party, are full of fighting spirit and enthusiasm. Every corner of the motherland is rapidly changing its appearance.The poet who shares the same fate with the working people of the country is moved and infected by the people who have liberated their minds and marched forward singing songs, and the neat and beautiful rivers and mountains after the transformation. The fresh and fluent lines in his heart will flow like a stream. Gurgling and flowing, releasing touching songs.

The main mood in this collection of prose poems is youth, vitality and irrepressible joy.On the beautiful sea and mountains, there are heroes everywhere, who build the motherland and defend the peace. These characters are brave, happy, and always move forward.They transformed and built the sea and mountains around them so majestic and beautiful, under the bright sunshine, amidst the joyful sounds of labor, the mountain streams sang, the forest sang,... the wooden birds and the birds by the stream The little dragonfly, the camphor tree, the pheasant with its little chicks, the sun in the sky, all ask you to sing this song again, and sing it again.With all the passion in your breast, with all your joy, you sing of the triumph of building in the forest!

——"Sing, Mountain Stream! " Not only the sound of the stream flowing is joyful, but also the lights are joyful and exciting in the new construction environment: At night in the forest area, wind lanterns, pine lights, electric lights, the white rainbow-like lights of the train, fire lights over the chemical plant, orange and purple fire lights... the splendid night in the forest area, the exciting night. --"lights" The poet repeatedly sang: "My heart is full of joy", "I thought that on the land of our motherland, there is strength, joy, and prosperity everywhere." In the palace-like forest, he met the Forestry College Student: "When I see you, I feel happy too. How happy I am." "How lively and joyful this forest looks.

In our motherland, how well every young man lives.Beautiful youth, flower-like youth. He looked at the little train in the forest and seemed to hear cheers: "In the depths of this forest, I seem to hear bursts of cheers, new and unprecedented creative power cheering." He also heard singing in the mountain forest hydropower station: There is the sound of spring water in the mountains, the sound of pebbles and sand grains;...the singing praises the courageous people who turned the power and wisdom of water into light and electricity...——"Mountain Forest Hydropower Station"

In the valley, he heard a youthful laughter: "Like silver bells, like spring water flowing in a stream, like rainwater dripping down from the forest," maybe it was the laughter of the students of the agricultural college he met just now, But "No. Maybe it's from my heart—the laughter in my own heart. How happy I am." In addition to the overflowing joy, the poet's words are also full of strong local color, local flavor, all scenery, and all "names of plants, trees, birds and animals", which can be seen everywhere in the south of the motherland: Moist haze.On the side of the road, where the long jagged leaves of the water keel cover the hills, the running water sings.I saw a lot of small dragonflies by the stream.They have transparent light wings.Some of their wings are as blue as blue satin, some are as red as wine, and some are as green as grass sprouts. —— "High-yield Forest under Ancao"

In these essays, there are colorful southern flowers and trees: Chlorophytum, Chiba, Litsea cubeba, Shandandan, Magnolia, maple apricot, laurel... There are also acacia trees, Phoenix trees, kapok trees, banyan trees... in these essays There are also beautiful birds and lively animals: partridges, pheasants, eaglets, egrets, and pairs of mandarin ducks.As well as thorn and mountain deer... These lines give readers a unique strong fragrance and active image. However, in these proses, the most vivid and vivid impression on the readers is the heroic people who build mountain villages and islands and live and fight at the forefront of national defense described by the poet: the party secretary of the forest area, the geological survey team, the meteorological worker , shipyard workers, mountain village bus station masters, spice factory technicians, forest train drivers, commune textile factory women workers, farmers, fishermen, and soldiers of the three armed forces defending the motherland and peace on the front line of Fujian, postmasters on islands on the front line .These brave and optimistic heroes, set off by the majestic and beautiful sea and mountain background, constitute a dazzling picture.

Finally, mention should be made of the artistry of the poet.The reason why these prose are poetic prose is that the author's scenes are very picturesque, his words are very concise, and his voice is sonorous. The most prominent thing is that the author likes to use repeated sentences, which are very similar to the refrain in poetry, which makes people feel happy when reading. sense of rhythm. With the rapid development of the revolution and construction of the motherland, my beautiful hometown is also jubilant and boiling day and night. The future of writing for young poets is extremely broad and bright. I hope to see better and newer inspirational works from the author earlier. work.
