Zhang Jinjiang, a professor and writer at East China Normal University, was an active writer in Shanghai in the 1980s, and the novella "After the General Left the Throne" and the novel "Sea King" made him stand out in the literary world, and Jia Zhifang commented that "Sea King" is "a novel that makes people read a little taste.".
In the early 1990s, Zhang Jinjiang became one of the first professors to "go to the sea" to make waves, thus having the experience of hardships and failures that had never been encountered in the classroom or in the bookstore. More than ten years later, he returned to the literary world and spent 13 years writing a trilogy of prose" "Human Dream", "Human World" and "Human Enlightenment". The collection of foreign million-word essays inscribed by Junqing, Wang Meng, and Wang Zhiliang, three literary and translation circles, contains this university professor who has experienced special experiences, his feelings after various life experiences, and his observations on the world.
The scene of the symposium.
At the symposium on the publication of "Human Dreams," "Human World," and "Human Enlightenment" held a few days ago, Wang Yan, president of the East China Normal University Press, introduced that as the last part of the "Human" series of prose trilogies, "Ren Wu" uses pictures traveling at home and abroad to express life feelings, which are divided into five series: Enlightened People, Wu Wen, Wu Gu, Wu Shi, and Wukong. The mood and the aftermath of the world are still my open-mindedness.
Zhang Jinjiang worked as a sailor, entered a factory, taught at a university, and experienced business and schooling. He sighed, "Creative practice tells me that life determines the direction of writers. How far a writer can go depends on how thick his life experience is. Creation takes a wait, even for prose that is not long. This wait sometimes takes years, sometimes decades. ”
