Chapter 143 Not light on paper" and "Strong through the back of paper"

The ancients talked about the writing power of an article, and there are different degrees of weight, light enough to not touch the paper, and heavy to penetrate the back of the paper. Of course, this all refers to good writing. I also have this feeling in my heart when I read two short stories recently. Lin Jinlan's "New Life" ("People's Literature", December 1960 issue) is "lighter than paper".The whole atmosphere in this novel is calm and breezy, with flowers covering the moon.This rebirth is not the rebirth of a baby, but the rebirth of a mountainous society, the rebirth of the whole of China, reflected in a corner of the deep mountains and old forests, in the villages of Jiuling and Shibawan.The characters in the story, such as the thin new wife, the man of the new wife, the girl doctor, the beard, the young man, the old man, and a young doctor who didn’t show up three hundred miles away... These people don’t even have names, and readers don’t know who they are. I can't tell which one is the protagonist in the story.The story just revolves around the birth of a baby, like a narrative poem.In this brand-new mountain society, the new daughter-in-law, who is a mother for the first time, wants to be the leader of the vegetable team. Regardless of the old doctor's warning, she must persist until the red spider is cured and the water and rice do not stick to her teeth for two days. Dystocia.

The production team leader wished he could get into the loudspeaker, hoping to invite the doctor.The girl doctor came in the storm, along the way, I met by chance: Beard unloaded the donkey from the cart for her to ride, the young man of the demobilized soldier carried her across the river, the old man lit a torch and took her up the mountain, and read some to her along the way The "poems" made up by the poor singers carrying sedan chairs... There are poems, paintings, suspense and tension in it.Finally, "The new life is like blowing a trumpet, crying loudly. ! The girl and doctor expressed happiness from the bottom of her heart on the way home in the empty mountains and quiet.Some difficulties at work were shared by unknown people.I feel how fulfilling and happy life is in this era... The one that "penetrates the back of the paper" is Xuming's "The Red in the Mountain Helps the Tiger in the Mountain" ("Beijing Literature and Art" December 1960 issue).As soon as this novel catches the eye, it is like a night terror caused by waves and a sudden storm!This story is about the people on the front line of the mining industry production line. The protagonist not only has a name, but also an extremely vivid nickname.One is the "Drilling Mountain Tiger" An Dequan, who is so energetic and has the sound of "more than ten wind hammers starting at the same time", "holding the wind hammer, his forehead is almost touching the rock", and the other is "the cheeks are all red". "Sweet", "Holding books when I have time" to study Chairman Mao's works, the capable and gentle "Shanlihong" Liu Yuhong.The "Zhanshanhu" who wanted to "do a good job" and was "a bit proud and complacent" made Secretary Zhao, comrades in his group and other groups worry about him, and his wife "Shanlihong" of course also No exception.She criticized, encouraged, and helped him.Speaking of this incident, "Zhanshanhu"'s face was burning, but he was still willing to take the pot out.

"Zhanshanhu" said that no one on the construction site did not praise her seven points, and was afraid of her three points, of course this included himself! The language in this novel is particularly refined, powerful, and expressive. The quiet Secretary Zhao, the humble Captain Qin, and even Da Li and the little gunner who can't speak a few words all have their own expressions and voices .These sounds are mixed with the muffled sound of blasting guns, the scream of fans, the crisp sound of car horns, and the sound of rumbling earth-powered locomotives and wind hammers, interweaving into a symphony of fiery struggle in the mine.

Finally, the difficulties were overcome, and "pure black gold shining coal came out", this coal was going to travel all over the country, making iron and steel... The Yongding River was flowing happily, the young couple, holding hands Crossing the bridge to go home, my heart is full of indescribable and infinite affection, which is the feeling between husband and wife in the new society, "This is how it is in our place!" On a large piece of land in the motherland, no matter in the high mountains or in the mines, there are people drawing the latest and most beautiful pictures everywhere. It is a great opportunity for writers to apply their own unique techniques. Let us work together!
