Chapter 24 twenty-three

Hanging up the phone, I started writing the release.I want to say a lot about this article, but when I pick up the pen, I don't know where to start.According to what has been discussed in the past, this opening speech should include the following two main points: (1) to make an impartial review of the success or failure of literature since the May Fourth Movement; New Direction. In the limited space, it is really not easy to try to answer these two topics with concise and concise words.I originally meant to review the works since the May Fourth Movement from a detached standpoint. At the very least, it would also allow the younger generation to gain a clear understanding of the efforts of literary workers over the past few decades.For example: In the past few decades, we have also produced outstanding playwrights like Cao Yu.His "Thunderstorm" and "Sunrise" should be considered as the biggest gains since the May Fourth Movement.In addition, Lu Xun's "The True Story of Ah Q" is undoubtedly a masterpiece, which can be compared with Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea".In terms of novels, Li Jieren's "Slight Waves in Dead Water", "Before the Storm", and "The Big Wave" are very well written and should be taken seriously.We have been exploring new poems, and only in recent years have there been new poets like Ya Xian.As for short stories, Shen Congwen is the biggest hero.Thanks to his hard work, the wonderful flower finally thrived in the barren garden.

As for the route that literary and art workers should take in the future, I think the following points are worth mentioning: first, it must be pointed out that new techniques should be used to express the intricate modern society; Workers can gain insight into the trend of world literature; third, advocate writers to explore the inner truth, and describe the struggle between the self and the objective world; fourth, encourage the emergence of any cutting-edge works that are original, abandon traditional styles, and break traditional rules Fifth, absorb the essence of tradition, and then jump out of tradition; sixth, under the principle of taking the best from others, accept and digest the fruits of foreign literature, and then establish a new literature that meets modern requirements and can maintain the national style and national style.

Such a transformation aims to capture the heart of the object.From a certain point of view, the search for inner reality is not only realistic, but truly realistic. In the past, writers tried to use words to imitate nature, but the effect obtained was far inferior to that of photographers.Today, photography cannot replace painting, precisely because modern painting has given up using oil paint to imitate nature. In other words: When presenting the thoughts and feelings of the times, future literary and art workers must abandon superficial descriptions and proceed with inner exploration. Finally, when referring to the selection criteria of "Avant-garde Literature", I wrote a few sentences: We don't pay attention to the name, but only look at the work itself. If the work is original and challenging, even if it is a debut work, we are willing to publish it.

There are already seven manuscript papers in the "Fanban Ci" written here, although the meaning is not complete; compared with the general "Fanban Ci", it is considered long. Put down your pen and light a cigarette.Rereading the full text again, I feel very sloppy.So I made a phone call to Homen and asked him to allow two days to post the schedule, so that I would have enough time to make revisions.Hemen objected to procrastinating, and insisted that I send out the manuscript first, and then revise it when proofreading. Going out at night?he asks. It's already four o'clock in the afternoon, and I didn't even eat lunch in order to write the "Introduction".

How about this, you come out now, I invite you to go to Songzhu to eat, and then go to the printing office together, introduce the foreman to you, and send them the "Introduction".After eating, I hope you go home and translate Gramont's "Proust as I Know It". You treat me like a cow. Anyone engaged in literary work needs the spirit of a cow. Hanging up the phone, turning around, I found Mrs. Lei standing in front of me, holding a bowl of steaming lotus seed soup in her hand.she says: Xinmin, you didn't even eat lunch, this was just stewed, and you ate it out of the street.
