Beijing, December 15 (China News Network) Writer and screenwriter Sun Rui's novel collection "Butter and Spicy Hot" was recently launched by the People's Literature Publishing House, which is composed of eight short and medium stories, all of which are set in the city and current life, and write about the spiritual dilemma of modern people.

Writer and screenwriter Quan Yongxian said that the heroine of the story collection "Butter and Spicy Hot" gave him a deep impression. "Sun Rui is writing about the emotional collision between an urban young woman and a Tibetan youth, and this idea is quite interesting. The heroine is the kind of casual, big grinning character, but the bravery embodied in her is actually the bravery of a modern urbanite. ”

In the view of the author Sun Rui, this story was originally conceived as a road movie. "An urban woman is on the road, and she is struggling with her heart. After she went on the road, she slowly calmed down many boiling, anxious, and anxious things in her heart that were like spicy and hot, and finally found a clean, bright, and clear direction of life like ghee. Sun Rui said, "Road movies are a particularly important genre in movies, because people want to go on the road when they encounter things." What did he do on the road? It is to change the fate and find the truth. I think that's what literature has to do, so use the highway as a movement to let her complete her spiritual journey. ”

"Ghee and Spicy Hot" has received attention from all walks of life after its publication. Wu Gang, a well-known actor, said that he played a character in Sun Rui's novel many years ago, that is, a father with a humorous temperament and full of interest in life - of course, there is also a rebellious son around him. Years have passed, he heard that Sun Rui also became a father, Wu Gang laughed and said that Sun Rui should also change from a young man who tries to subvert the world to a "post-80s" father who uses humor and optimism to resolve the difficulties of life, hoping to play a "grandfather" he wrote in the future.

Well-known actor Liu Lin has also cooperated with Sun Rui, and she can feel that his creation pays attention to details and makes great efforts in the emotions of the characters, "especially the unexpected reversal of the story, revealing the agility and affection of his creation".

Writer Shi Yifeng believes that Sun Rui became famous for his youth novels, and recent short stories reflect the qualities of a mature writer. The understanding of life and life is unique, and the ability to think deeply is maintained in generosity, and it can write abstract situations through brushstrokes close to reality. (End)
