Chapter 19 "The Brilliant Years" and "The Brilliant Years"

"Beijing Literature and Art" published a very good short story in the June issue of 1962, entitled "Beautiful Years"; in the newspaper a few days ago, I saw the publication notice of the September issue of "Beijing Literature and Art" , and another article called "The Blossoms of Time".I thought to myself, the editor comrades did not avoid similar topics. In a short period of time, two novels were published one after another.Therefore, when the September issue of "Beijing Literature and Art" was delivered, the first thing I read was this article "The Blossoms of Time".

as expected!This article, like the previous one, is also written for the immediate problems in the personal lives of people in the golden years. In Fei Zhi's "Beautiful Years", he wrote about a lieutenant officer and his younger brother who is a college student, and their views on love and marriage.My brother is a true soldier, and he is also "quiet", "serious", and "good at self-restraint" in matters of love and marriage. After ten years in the army, he came home for three weeks of annual leave. If it wasn't for the parting night, The lights have been turned off, and "mother's symmetrical snoring" can be heard next door, and he still refuses to say what his younger brother who sleeps on the opposite bed presses him hard.He believes that to know a person, you can’t just rely on impressions; for soldiers, it’s not enough for a lover to be beautiful, but also to have good qualities; a deep understanding of each other will make love stronger and so on.Unlike him, the younger brother of a college student who studies mathematics, he "does not intend to be a bachelor", and he has been "waiting for the girl who will inevitably appear".And this girl actually showed up when he picked up his brother at the station three weeks ago. The work of "making love" started from then, and when his brother left, it was "nearly completed".According to him, this is the same as when a soldier has a clear target, he will attack immediately, which caused his brother to say "Don't make random metaphors" to him.

But this younger brother is not a young man who has no calculations in his mind. He wants to "lay a foundation for climbing the peak of knowledge" in college. He feels that "time is too precious"; friends." ... In terms of artistic treatment, the dialogue in this short story is very compact and can represent everyone's personality.The arrangement of the plot is also very simple. Zhang Baoshen's "Bright Years of Love" is about the support and concern of a nationally-renowned senior Peking Opera actor for the younger generation of colleagues discovered in an interview with a reporter.This senior Beijing opera not only co-stars with young actors and puts his name behind, but also is troubled by this young man's "love" and "want to get married".He recalled that when he was young, he put off this question in order to become famous successfully; why are young actors in a socialist society now "not worrying about taking a class when they are out of school, and not worrying about their outfits when they sing an opera", everything is ready, and they only owe themselves After working hard, but can't "make a greater contribution to socialism", what should I sacrifice? ——This plot and psychological activities are very possible, interspersed with a young female cartoonist in the newspaper office, making the story more dramatic.As for the description of the reporter's life, because I have a few reporter friends, it seems to be true from the sidelines.

During this summer vacation, I was surrounded by people who were in their prime, so I often thought about the issues of love and marriage in this "age".This problem is neither big nor small. It mainly needs to be viewed in conjunction with individuals, society, and our times.In newspapers and periodicals, such as "Chinese Youth", "Chinese Women"... Many seniors and doctors have talked about this issue.In terms of literary and artistic works, I recently saw these two articles that made me smile. Because the titles are similar, the joint description is as above. (This article was originally published in the "Beijing Evening News" on September 14, 1962, and later included in the collection of essays "Xiaozha Gleaners".)
