Gyeongsan (Baby Annie) has a new book!
His latest collection of essays, All Circumstances, was recently published by the People's Literature Publishing House.
After more than 20 years of writing, from Baby Anne to Qingshan, the new work "All The Realm" has left traces and marks of the writer Qingshan's life activities in recent years.
With years of daily observation, travel, reading and thinking, the author makes an intuitive expression of three words and two words, as if talking to a confidant, but also talking to himself. Sincere, simple and spontaneous, it is a work that reaches the heart.
On the day Qingshan posted the pre-sale information of the new book on Weibo, a large number of readers poured into its Weibo message interaction, creating nearly three million views.
Nearly 10,000 copies sold out within 24 hours, and immediately topped the list of new books sold, ranking in the top two of the total list of books sold in seven days.
From Baby Anne to Gyeongsan, the only writer who has sold well since the end of the century, he has a long-lasting reputation. As a spiritual icon for generations, Gyeongsan's every time he publishes a new work, it will cause a hot selling frenzy.
A large number of netizens on the Internet left messages: "Your books have accompanied me since I was 16 years old, and I have been unconscious for more than 20 years"; "Reading to a certain stage can really screen out books that meet her reading ability, Anne still buys a new work, sees her recent situation and reflections, and at the same time compares herself, like a confidant and the past"; "Writing is sincere enough, see yourself between the lines, those who do not say the heart words".
"The light and energy are still so sincere and intense." After more than twenty years of writing, Gyeongsan has influenced countless readers and reached the core of their spiritual lives.
Media evaluation: "She has swept the youth of a generation and created a unique trend. ”
Since the publication of her first work, Farewell to Viane, in 2000, Baby Anne's words have nourished tens of millions of readers, opened up a youthful aesthetic pop, and led the sensory experience of the new middle class.
The rebellious woman, repeatedly running away, full of violent, confrontational love relationships, is something that appears repeatedly in her early works. Her novel accurately portrays the image of urban Wenqing and profoundly influences the writing style of post-80s writers.
In 2016, Baby Anne joined forces with film and television, and the film "July and Ansheng" adapted from her novel won many awards such as the Golden Horse Award, which continued to arouse heated discussions between the media and the public.
In 2014, Baby Anne was renamed "Gyeongsan", which means that she pays more attention to the inner mental training and spiritual exploration of the individual.
Compared with the fierce, rebellious story in the novel, the prose shows the soft folds of Qingshan's heart. From "Rose Island" to "All Realms", from the young woman into middle age, Gyeongsan has published several collections of essays in the past twenty years, and the prose allows us to more intuitively see Gyeongsan's personal growth and inner mirror image.
"All Realms" is similar to a person's inner parade in a huge external realm, recording Qingshan's life experience in a fast and direct way, involving all directions of the material and spiritual levels. Readers can read concise and straightforward points of view.
For example, the midlife crisis, "the so-called midlife crisis, probably found that they slowly distanced themselves from the changing social values." ”
For example, morality, "What is morality?" I don't think it's monopoly, it's about not exploiting others. But in some relationships between men and women, there is no joy to speak of. Exploit each other's money and flesh. ”
For example, maternal love, "true maternal love is mixed with various emotions such as exhaustion, guilt, sadness, hardship, anger, loneliness and so on."
The book also sees some scenes of life: "Taking a nap in the field while watching lotus flowers, going to school to give lectures, sharing a box of winter shoots with friends, watching Noh dramas in Japan..."
These daily observations and experiences convey her memories, emotions, feelings and ideas, and are extracted more powerfully. Qingshan always reminds herself of her connection to the roots of the earth, and the huge, cyclical real life is the field of her thoughts. Her tentacles continue to stretch into the vast nature of the mountains and rivers, reflecting her heart.
Gyeongsan (Baby Anne) said that since 2002 the first collection of essays, Rose Island, has been published. After that, he successively published "Sober Age" and "Su Nian Jinshi". Until 2013, the publication of "Sleeping Space" opened a new stage of prose. Eleven years apart.
She wrote, "I went from young woman to middle age, experiencing more world trials and changes in life, including the death of a father, the birth of a child, and the intersection and expansion of various emotions and journeys." ”
In her opinion, prose is the fastest shortcut for the reader to enter the author's heart.
"After the publication of the novel "Shamo Valley" in 2019, the body and mind were quite overdrawn. Therefore, in the past two years, I have been using traditional Chinese medicine to nourish the body and rest mostly. During this period, the global epidemic was rampant and turbulent. The phase of retreat was also unprecedented. Before me, there was a lot of travel and intersection with people. In All Realms, the years of life during the writing and publication of The Valley of Shamo are recorded. Being at home alone and quiet makes people think more. There is also a comprehensive review and examination of yourself. ”
"After writing for more than twenty years, perhaps in the minds of some readers, I have always been the one who walks on the road, full of emotions and strong will. There is a girlish presence. It seems to be forever young and unchanging. Perhaps within me, this energy is always present and holds its heat. But in the material world, my physical body is inevitably aging. Gyeongsan said.
"As we age, we feel that the soul is gradually pulling away from the body. The body sometimes cannot catch up with the eternal light and energy of the soul. ”
In Qingshan's view, as a person grows old, the lessons of the soul will allow him to gain a purer and deeper ability to think, and a quieter tolerance for pain and loneliness. And the courage to take on. In his heart, he gets a silent clarity and insight.
She said that there is nothing more important than purifying the body and mind, repenting, thinking and reflecting, training the mind, and facing life and death.
"After 'The Valley of Summers,' and after Everything, I still want to keep exploring."
The name "Baby Anne" has become a generation's memory.
Some people say that the transformation process from "Baby Anne" to "Qingshan" is a spiritual history since the new century.
In her work and controversies, we can see what has hit young people, what is missing in this generation, and what we are at a loss in the rapid change of times.
