More than twenty years ago, I finished reading Mr. Lu Yao's long-form "Ordinary World" in one breath, and my mood could not be calmed for a long time.
In the trance, I felt that the brothers Sun Shao'an and Sun Shaoping were pulling Gao Garin and walking towards me shakily: one would be the Sun family brothers, one would be Gao Garin, and the other would be Lu Yao, and they were all waving to me, shouting me all the way forward, I got up and went side by side with them, and later realized that this was a dream.
Although it is a dream, when the dream wakes up, it is clear that it is the reality that happens in front of the eyes.
Knowing that Lu Yao, a writer, was still in the late 1980s, reading his novella "Life" and later watching the movie "Life" adapted from it, I was deeply attracted, infected and inspired by the fate of the protagonists Gao Garin and Liu Qiaozhen.
Maybe he has a similar experience like Gao Garin, but also to get out of his own way from the black earth under his feet, and it is particularly difficult, so he has a preference for Mr. Lu Yao, and all his works are bought and read, over and over again, as if to find their own pursuits and paths.
Paying attention to Mr. Lu Yao has become a part of my life, and many critics and readers are looking forward to his new works, and some people think that Mr. Lu Yao has set a peak for himself and can no longer surpass it.
When I heard that Mr. Lu Yao was creating "Ordinary World", I was happy for him and believed that he would surpass himself.
Mr. Lu Yao's goal is to comprehensively reflect the magnificent background of the times from 1975 to 1985 at the time of China's reform and opening up, and the ordinary pursuit and unremitting struggle of a group of urban and rural young people such as Sun Shao'an, Sun Shaoping, Tian Xiaoxia, Tian Runye and other urban and rural youth in the trend of this era.
Mr. Lu Yao wrote with his honest style, delicate brushwork, deep nostalgia, and painstaking blood, and the landscapes and rivers of the Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi, the customs and customs, the changes in the world, the sophistication of people, and the charm of personality flowed out one by one, all of which made people look forward to it more with the report.
Finally, the advent of this huge work, finally he flew to the arms of the people, holding the words with the flavor of loess, and blinded the people.
At this time, genuine books simply cannot meet the demand, and piracy is definitely popular. The first thing I saw it was piracy, pirated copies should also be a sneak peek, the book arrived in the hand, it was really wasted sleep, I couldn't sleep at night, I read it, I didn't feel long, I read it, I didn't seem to read it, I felt that Mr. Lu Yao hadn't finished it, is this story over, how will Shao'an Shaoping's future road develop, and what kind of ending will their lives have?
Abrupt stop! Mr. Lu Yao stopped writing and sprinkled a million words, just like a spring rain, a summer wind, more like the swaying red sorghum on the Loess Plateau in autumn, or the snow sprinkled on the cave in the vast winter wilderness, so dazzling.
However, when people were still celebrating Mr. Lu Yao's winning the third Mao Dun Literature Award, and when he was satisfied, suddenly bad news came, he passed away, and he burned out his short life of 42 years old.
When people lament, they feel that his works illuminate the hearts of many rural youth, like the North Star, more like a compass, so that those who struggle in difficulties and are confused in struggle continue to strengthen their confidence, write their own lives on the road of life, in ordinary careers.
From this point of view, Mr. Lu Yao's hard work and sweat were not in vain, and he built a Mount Everest for himself and Chinese literature!
Later, I specially bought a three-volume "Ordinary World" for a careful collection and read it at any time. I remember reading it four times, it was this book and the previous "Life" that gave me infinite strength to forge ahead, I felt that I was full of energy, fiery life goals, always urging myself, like the Shao'an Shaoping brothers to forge ahead, to climb their own personal life peak, there is no reason to turn back, there is no reason to stop, only to move forward and then forward.
Unconsciously, more than twenty years have passed, after several moves, "Life" and "Ordinary World" have all traveled with me, and I will always carefully preserve and collect it, and I am afraid that I will accidentally lose it.
However, it was not until a few days ago, when I suddenly saw that the TV series "Ordinary World" had actually started on TV, that I realized that I had been absent from it for a long time, that I had not touched it for a long time, and that in the hurried ordinary journey, its encouragement over the years had made me only care about struggling, ignoring it, and even forgetting it.
After the TV series started, I had to watch it on time every day, and I felt that the writers, directors, and actors of the film had carefully interpreted the greatest work in my heart, restored the spirit of the work, especially the brilliant performances of several actors, and let me recognize that they were Shao'an, Shaoping, Xiaoxia, and Runye in my mind. Watching episode after episode, watching and discussing while contrasting, aroused my deep memory and aroused my deep nostalgia for Mr. Lu Yao.
I thought, if there is no Mr. Lu Yao's "Life" and "Ordinary World", what would my life look like? It is a miracle that a writer, with his work and his deep love for the people of the Yellow Land and the Yellow Land, has created characters and stories that have deeply influenced generations!
Mr. Lu Yao used his life to build this magnificent mansion with his flesh and blood, which shocked and fell for many people, and how many cold people were happy.
If Liu Qing, a famous writer in the Yellow Land, is the literary godfather of Mr. Lu Yao, then Mr. Lu Yao and his building are not the beacon lights of thousands of Garin Shao'an Shaoping on the land of China, and have comforted the hearts of many rural youths who are worried and troubled.
Today, when those of us Garin, Shao'an, and Shaoping have more or less embarked on the road to success, we will pick up the huge book again, and look back, suddenly, we have already burst into tears, perhaps we have already arrived in the northern Shaanxi Plateau in our dreams, we have long been on the dongla River in Huangyuan Street and Shuangshui Village, and even dreamed of Mr. Lu Yao's old mother, who is still so tough in his old man's home.
Real estate tycoon Pan Shiyi said well, he has read "Ordinary World" seven times, perhaps his great success is the guidance and infection of this book! If Mr. Lu Yao also has fans, Pan Shiyi is definitely a die-hard fan, and I feel that I am no exception.
No matter what the living situation and the size of the success, we were once all admirers of Mr. Lu Yao, and we were all loyal readers of "Life" and "Ordinary World".
I am glad that I met Mr. Lu Yao on the road of my life, and I am grateful to Mr. Lu Yao for explaining the true meaning of the ordinary to us with my life, so that those of us who need to struggle and need to move forward, continue to draw strength to enrich our lives, to beautify this complicated society, we will definitely do this, we must do this!
This may be the original intention of Mr. Lu Yao, who is full of truth, goodness and beauty all over his body?
