Text/Mo Yan Zhang Yueran was born in the 1980s and is still studying at university, but she has gone a long way in the exploration of novel creation.Her novels do not win with stories, but rely on her keen observation and intelligent perception of the external world and individual souls to string together strings of dreamy text beads, creating colorful and beautiful rounds. A magnificent spectacle.The strong fantasy color makes her novels look extraordinary and noble.Her novels are both cold and warm, both hazy and clear, both real and illusory. These dream-like narrations come from the sensitivity at the beginning of youth, from the depression in the bones, from the joy and bewilderment of growth, sometimes sharp, sometimes low-they are flying and sad.People in the 1980s mature earlier than people in the 1970s.The cruelty of reality and the siege of information are pulling their anxiety, discrimination and thinking all the time.They did not have a fixed and unified belief, so they began to seek their own spiritual comfort very early.It's not as simple as a good course score or a better university.Adults' views on friendship, love, and family break into their field of vision prematurely.They are dreamy, sensitive, and easily hurt, but sometimes they can be surprisingly strong.They will not be willing to fall into the secular world prematurely, so they will not believe in money and power, so the only thing left is love.

Therefore, Zhang Yueran's novels are mainly about family, friendship and love.The love in her works is a kite flying in the air with her immature and precocious heart.Love becomes the only attachment to dreams.Such dreams are tenacious and focused in Zhang Yueran's novels.For example, the "rejection" of "I" in "The Black Cat Never Sleeps", the persistence of the angel in "Destroyed", the dedication of "I" in "Destroyed", etc.A person who stubbornly embraces dreams must also embrace sadness at the same time, because reality will annihilate dreams and prevent them from flying.Therefore, those imaginary loves have a beautiful beginning, a difficult development, and a tragic ending.Whether it is parting, brokenness or death, this is not groundless, it is part of the reality they perceive.Can they lose their dreams?The answer is definitely not.Here lies the paradox: most of their dreams are tragic.The reason why Zhang Yueran's pen repeatedly touches on various "tragic existences of love" is because there is an eternal gap between dreams and reality, which brings a strong sense of tragedy to those who love fantasy.The author has reflected this sense of tragedy in her novels since she was a child, which is not simple.The establishment of tragedy consciousness, as people say, is a kind of sobriety of rationalism and a necessary supplement to the overall optimism of society.Compared with the overall optimism of society, this pessimism is undoubtedly important and necessary.And we were surprised to find that most of Zhang Yueran's novels are tragedies.With a language as sharp as a knife, and ideas as glittering as pearl shells, she uses novels to create a life higher than reality, and extends rich and lush spiritual tentacles to this life. Her works are full of great impulses that transcend reality. and a sobering critical force.Of course, in real life, in the eyes of others, she may live a very good and noble life.But we will hear her categorically retort: ​​I am not a tragedy, and tragedy will always be in my heart!

Embracing love, embracing dreams, embracing deep sorrow, which makes them presented in the novel noble and full of sadness.In their hearts, love is above all else!including life.They stick to this creed, cheer themselves up, comfort and support their vulnerable hearts.It can be said that Zhang Yueran's novels express the hopes and pains of a generation.They long to be understood and cared for—more importantly, they need to learn to take care of themselves, their dreams and everything they believe in, and grow up little by little.Growth is an endless topic in our novels.Although love is a colorful bubble for their age, pale and fragile, never reachable, always on the other side, but it doesn't matter, they are exploring, discerning, advancing, stepping into the camp of adulthood bit by bit .In fact, for anyone who has been there, these colorful and complicated details that record the heartbeat and pain of the teenager, even if it is easy to cover the carefree and sad childhood, it is beautiful to recall.Therefore, the value of Zhang Yueran's novels lies in: recording the psychological growth trajectory of sensitive and sad teenagers, revealing the truth that is very commensurate with the mental strength of this age.This kind of truth comes from the depths of the soul of this generation, and it is actually not easy to show others at will.What do they like, what do they dislike, what do they yearn for, and what do they resist, all of which can be answered in her novels.

Reading these novels, we can see that Zhang Yueran's imagination is amazing.On the pedestal of the girl's persistent dream and tragic consciousness, the imagination bounces off the story, shining their psychedelic light like sparks.With the help of her limited practical experience, her imagination blossomed into beautiful plots and details—the carnage between fish and fish in "Cannibalism", and the blue fish's wife "Lan Yingying's dance dress"; The tragic experience of the innocent black cat in "The Black Cat Never Sleeps" and the "jagged bloody stubble" after the black cat was beaten; The "ten-dollar note" of love; the sunflower with both feet resolutely running to love because of the power of the witch in the middle, and the witch's eyes with "bloodshot like red filaments"; Tao's explosion, and the fishbone button "resembling a scar in the heart"; the "sound of coins falling into the piggy bank" that I listen to every day in "The Face of the Equator Cutting the City"; The lively gecko; the bracelet "scattered all over the ground while running" in "Neon Road"; the "scar" left on the hand by mother peeling walnuts in "Letter from Home This Winter"... such examples are compared in Zhang Yueran's novels both.Imagination makes Zhang Yueran's novels extraordinary and full of strong poetic flavor.Dreamy, imaginative, and poetic flavors are combined in Zhang Yueran's novels—this collection of novels is excellent and unique.

Her writing is sharp, fantastic, concise, stylish and spot on.Sensitivity and dreams, flying inspiration and proficiency in language control show Zhang Yueran's potential to become an excellent writer.Compared with her own age and experience, Zhang Yueran is outstanding.Although she is named a "new concept writer", in fact she has stepped out of the writing posture and the way of expressing life limited by the "new concept", and has gradually moved towards "socialization".is a sign.Let us see that this little author, who is addicted to dreams and immersed in colorful whimsy, has jumped out of his strong personal feelings and is moving towards cultural thinking and a big realm. The object of "I"'s love has also changed from avant-garde and fashionable teenagers to paranoid adults full of personality, which is a sign that the scope of the author's mind has expanded.This is a new change, and undoubtedly a new writing direction.It is not difficult to see that Zhang Yueran has left room for development in this direction and the possibility of opening up another space for development.

Zhang Yueran's novels have a wide range of readers among middle school students and college students.If you log into the "Forum? I read "Sprout"" on the "Sprout" website, you will find out how popular her novels are.She has been rated as "the most talented female author" and "the most popular female author" by readers many times, and has also won the "Most Sensational Award" for novels.It can be seen that Zhang Yueran has formed a large number of fans among young readers.When she was 14 or 15 years old, her novels "The Corner of Promise" and "Cannibalism" were published in the "Future Thinker" column of "Young Thinker" magazine; It has been included in various "anthologies of works of young writers" by many publishing houses.

Success comes from her talent and unremitting efforts.Of course, her works also have limitations. For example, she is too self-indulgent in her novels, which makes her novels look very tight; her lyricism is "open", and often appears to lack restraint, and so on.Great literature never simply stays at the level of fantasy, it must cover history, cover the vast reality and responsibility, and cover the trivial, difficult and specific real life. Zhang Yueran's writing has just started, and she has achieved such good results. With her unique language and imagination, as her life experience continues to increase and she has a deeper understanding of social life, I believe she will handle it better. The relationship between dreams and reality, better handle the relationship between individual experience and social experience, and write works with both distinctive personality and extensive coverage.
