Chapter 19 Write what

A friend asked me: Can you write stories about the proletariat?I thought about it and said: No.Or maybe it's just about grandma and the others, I know a little bit.Later, I found out from other sources that it turned out that Grandma could not be considered a proletarian.Fortunately I have no plans to change my style, or I shall be greatly disappointed. Literati discussing the future writing path, in my opinion, is an unimaginable freedom, as if there is sufficient room for choice.Of course, Wenyuan is vast. Tourists bought tickets to enter, took photos on the Jiuqu Bridge, and then flocked to visit the zoo. It’s really enviable.But I think a literati should be a tree in the garden, born there, with deep roots, the more it grows upward, the wider its horizons and the further it can see. It is not impossible to develop elsewhere. The wind blows the seeds and broadcasts them to In the distance, another tree grew, but it was very difficult after all.

As a beginner in writing articles, I thought I could also write historical novels, general literature, neo-sensationism, and even more popular family ethics, social martial arts, romance, and open sea and sky, whatever I wanted.As time went on, I felt more and more constrained.For example, now I have obtained materials for two novels. Not only do I have the outline of the story and characters, but even the dialogue is complete. But the background is in the Mainland, so I can't write it for the time being.It was useless to go there; such a quick glance amounted to a journalist's interview.First impressions are perhaps the strongest kind.However, no matter how impressive foreigners are when visiting the swallow's nest, we can't describe the psychology of the swallow's nest customers from a different perspective?

It is of course useless to take a quick look at the flowers, even if you live for two or three months to collect local colors, it is useless, because the infiltration and infection of the living air is often intentional or unintentional, and there cannot be intentional intentions first.A literati only needs to live an honest life, and then, if he is a literati, he will naturally write everything he thinks of.He writes what can be done, and it doesn't matter what should be. Why do I often feel the need to change the direction of my writing?Because the author's technique often makes the same mistakes, he thinks it is repetitive.Since it is impossible to treat the same subject matter in different ways, we can only apply the same technique to different subjects. However, this is actually impossible because of the inevitable limitations of experience.How many people can wander around like Gorky and Shi Hui, and have mixed in any line of work?In fact, all these worries are superfluous, right?As long as the subject matter is not too specific, such common phenomena as love and marriage, birth, old age, sickness and death, can be written from countless different viewpoints, and it is impossible to finish writing in one lifetime.If one day it is said that there is nothing to write about such a subject, it must be that the author himself has nothing to write about.Even if you find a new subject, you can still write clichés.
