Write the epic of the people that never stops

Based on the vigorous source of reality, acuras the spirit of the times with literary and artistic works

In January 2021, CCTV Movie Channel produced the first domestic documentary film "Wuhan Day and Night". This documentary, filmed by a number of photographers on the front line, takes the medical staff and patients in the intensive care unit of the hospital at the forefront of the epidemic as the main line, showing the warm story of not giving up day and night in the face of the epidemic and watching out for each other.

On December 15, the film "Crossing the Yalu River", which presents a panoramic view of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, held its premiere in Beijing and was screened nationwide on December 17. This "panoramic and epic" major revolutionary historical theme work allows the broad audience to experience the magnificence in the intestines.

In the past five years, major time nodes such as the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up, the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China, and the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China have arrived one after another, and a number of outstanding literary and artistic works have come one after another. The movie "My Motherland and Me", "Chosin Lake", the TV series "The Age of Awakening", the drama "Gu Wenchang", the long-form reportage "Rural Country Is"... For a time, the "explosive models" of major theme literary and artistic works were frequently released, allowing us to see the eager figure of literary and art workers for the portrait of the times.

Responsibility always burns like fire in their hearts

In March 2021, the 94-year-old Blue Sky Wild became a director again, rehearsing the drama "Wu Wang Jinge Yue Wang Sword", continuing to write a good story on the stage...

Blue Sky Wild, who won the "July 1st Medal", has more than 70 years of party experience. Blue Sky Wild, whose real name is Wang Runsen, was born in 1927. In 1945, the third sister, who had been away from home for several years, suddenly returned to Beiping from the Liberated Area to prepare for the victory of the War of Resistance, and their family became an underground contact point. Under the influence of the third sister, Wang Runsen began to participate in revolutionary work, assisting comrades in underground transportation to transport materials, documents and propaganda materials. On September 23, 1945, Wang Runsen officially joined the Communist Party of China. In 1948, forced by the situation, it was renamed "Blue Sky Wild", which has been used until today and has become an evergreen tree on the stage.

Blue Sky Wild brings us a classic image: Qin Erye in "Tea House", Zeng Wenqing in "Beijinger", Dong Qi in "Cai Wenji", Jiang Ziya who has quite a fairy wind Dao bone... In more than 70 years of stage career, no matter how the role changes, one thing has always remained the same: "As long as the party needs me and the audience needs me, I will shine well and heat." ”

When Feng Jicai wrote, he first thought of the word "responsibility", one end of responsibility in the bone, the other in the pen tube. For so many years, responsibility has always burned like fire in his heart. "On the road of literature, I have had contact with mao dun, Bingxin, Ba Jin and other writers of the older generation, and I hope to pass on what I have learned from them. Whether a writer has great love, great goodness, great beauty, and great courage in his heart, the realm of the pen is different. The culture is broad and profound, the times are turbulent, and our literary and artistic creations must also have a big mind to match it. I feel that I am happy, integrated with the times, and integrated with the rushing waves of the river, such a life is full of passion and strength. ”

Art is evergreen, not diminished by age and age, and classics will become more dazzling because of the polishing of time. For example, the TV series "The Age of Awakening" portrays a group portrait of "new youth" a hundred years ago, but it has become a "phenomenon-level" work that attracts countless young people today to follow the drama, because this drama allows the current youth to find a spiritual resonance with the enthusiastic youth of that year. Some people ask, "The Age of Awakening" has a sequel, in fact, our current good life is a sequel.

We can see that no longer limited to the fantasy of xian xia, themes such as the people's beautiful life, scientific and technological innovation, the spirit of Chinese culture, and the community of human destiny have increasingly become the basis for the creation of online writers. A large number of writers raised their heads from the computer, walked into the fiery reality, walked to the forefront of the construction of the new era, the old revolutionary areas, the frontline of poverty alleviation, and the beautiful countryside... According to the "2020 Blue Book of Chinese Online Literature", among the new works released by major online literature platforms in 2020, realistic theme works account for more than 60%.

Once the inspiration of literature and art is implanted in the fertile soil of Chinese culture, it will be fragrant and brilliant

When we go forward, we will inevitably hear the echo of history under our feet, and we can learn from the past and know the present, and only then can we open up in the past.

"Those who have twilight spring, those who have taken spring clothes, those who have five or six crowns, six or seven children, those who bathe in Yi, those who dance in the wind, and those who return from singing." This is a passage from the Analects that describes the scene of Confucius and his students having fun together.

Li Jingze's "Yong and Return" came from this. "Yong and Return" includes a number of short essays created by Li Jingze from traditional culture, from the Spring and Autumn To the present, from the vast spirit of Confucius to the daily scenery, from the spirit of knowledge, and the wisdom from tradition, just like a roaming in the spring breeze.

Just as there is an article in the text about Du Fu's experience, Du Fu walked on the earth, walking in the place where hundreds of millions of li people lived, those farmers, soldiers, and petty officials who were once brilliant in the Book of Poetry, those sad mothers and the weak who were cornered, were once again gazed at with deep affection. In Du Fu's pen, the earth is no longer just the spiritual earth, the earth returns to the human world, restores and acquires its human nature - Du Fu gradually enters the vast crowd on the earth. It is in this sense that Du Fu became the sage of poetry. Poetry to Du Fu, the spirit of Confucianism reached the peak of the 'Dacheng'. Just like Confucius, Du Fu's world is 'the world', which is the aesthetic world, but also the world of politics and ethics: 'to the king Yao Shun, and then to make the customs pure', Du Fu never gave up his ideals and hopes for a good world. ”

Under the writer's pen, the traditional classics are given life, Confucius, Mencius, Han Feizi, Du Fu... Generations of ancient people have been reduced to living people, standing in front of us through thousands of years.

Therefore, some people evaluate this, for every Chinese, the spirit and interest of the ancients are integrated into our blood, and only by reading them can we understand Chinese culture, and can we stand on the shoulders of Chinese culture for thousands of years and see higher and farther.

Literary and art workers use their own pen and ink to pay tribute to Chinese culture and the sages, or it can be said that they are an expectation of conscience.

When the writer Wang Yuewen created "The Great Qing Xiangguo", he once sighed that the more he wrote, the closer he felt to Chen Tingjing, and the more he felt a kind of respect in his heart. The precious qualities in him are worth learning forever for our posterity. "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, and a destiny for the people." For the sake of continuing to learn from the saints, for the peace of all the worlds. In this way, we are almost all familiar with it, but not everyone can carefully understand the deep meaning behind it and be able to bear this heaviness.

In this regard, Wang Yuewen commented on Chen Tingjing in "The Great Qing Xiangguo", "We use today's vision to see that Chen Tingjing has a great view of the world and a great nation. Chen Tingjing became an official with a kind of selfless love for the world, and he endured many misunderstandings and accusations. But he has never complained or regretted, which is a loyalty from the heart. ”

What the ancient Chinese sages believed in and practiced is the excellent part of the traditional Chinese cultural concept.

Gao Xiang, president of the China Academy of History, once said when talking about the creation of historical themes, historians and literary and artistic creators shoulder the heavy responsibility of promoting the dissemination of excellent history and culture, and everyone should understand and support each other. "History has grand points, and TV dramas should also use grand thinking to reflect the growth process of the Chinese nation." For example, during the Tang Dynasty, during that historical period, China was one of the important centers of the world. On the screen, we can truly show the great times and great achievements in China's history to the people in the form of images, and tell the people about the glorious history. ”

Not only literature, but also the creative inspiration of other literary and artistic disciplines, once implanted in the rich soil of Chinese culture, will bloom into a fragrant artistic flower. In recent years, TV programs such as "Chinese Poetry Conference", "National Treasures", "China in Classic Books", "Classic Yong Chuan", "Ten Thousand Miles walking alone", "Shangxin Forbidden City", "Chinese Archaeological Conference" and other TV programs have all "let the audience marvel at the beauty of Chinese culture and the beauty of Chinese mountains and rivers, and each round of iteration has allowed the audience to deeply taste the profound heritage of Chinese civilization and reshape and build cultural self-confidence".

Every ordinary face is engraved with the wind and clouds of the times

Hunan writer Ji Hongjian's reportage "The Country is Rural" won the Reportage Award of the Seventh Lu Xun Literature Award, but he did not stop there, he continued to feel the power of China's development and change in his continuous walking. In 2021, Hunan People's Publishing House launched Ji Hongjian's new work "The Great War "Epidemic"".

In the spring of 2020, because of a rare epidemic in the world, people spent the most nervous Spring Festival. The people of Wuhan have experienced a thrilling battle against the epidemic. Ji Hongjian used the pen in his hand to record the great war "epidemic" that condensed China's great strength.

At that time, the China Writers Association was preparing to organize writers to go deep into Wuhan, where the epidemic was serious, and they asked Ji Hongjian if he could go, and Ji Hongjian agreed without hesitation.

Although this writer, who had been a soldier in the north for 12 years, although he had not been on the battlefield, he knew that bravery and fearlessness and sacrifice were the duty of Chinese soldiers. The fight against the epidemic is such a war without smoke of gunfire. "At this time, if you sit at home and do not go deep into the most central place of the epidemic, you will not be able to go deep into the heart and core, and the intensity of excavation of life and human nature will certainly not be enough."

Ji Hongjian, a native of Changsha, Hunan, said that Wuhan and Changsha, Hubei and Hunan, have been brothers in distress who have been connected by rivers and rivers since ancient times. For thousands of years, the brothers have been firmly watching and thinking, no matter the vicissitudes of the years, no matter the wind and rain, never wavered, never stopped. They are moving forward hand in hand, competing with each other, and forging ahead in the long river of history.

In the face of the epidemic, Ji Hongjian used the thick ink dipped in emotion to write five short reportage literary works in succession: "Cabin of Life", "The Sound of Spring", "Wuhan "Transporter"", "The Spring of a Wuhan Policeman", and "The First Person In Hunan Aid to Hubei", which were published in "People's Daily", "Guangming Daily", "Literature and Art Daily", "People's Literature" and "Furong". Some readers, after reading the feeling of lamentation: "Ji Hongjian used the most simple and sincere brushstrokes to tell the story of the Fang Cabin Hospital from birth, construction, start-up to the treatment of patients, which infected countless readers. ”

Our literary and art workers are such "runners", they have been running side by side with the times, they pay close attention to their sides and feet while looking at the distance, and pay attention to every Chinese who walks with the times. Because everyone's life can be literature, every ordinary face is engraved with historical storms.

Just as the writer Wang Hongjia's long-form reportage "Toward rural revitalization" with passion and love for the land of China tells the practice of the Chinese people under the strong leadership of the party and after eight years of decisive battle to get rid of poverty and move toward rural revitalization.

When the author communicated with Wang Hongjia, he lamented that who had ever seen a farmer have an archive? Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the battle against poverty has been carried out, and through targeted poverty alleviation, cadres have accurately identified 98.99 million poor people in villages and households, and all of them have set up files and cards. There were millions of village-based cadres in the country on the front line of poverty alleviation, and those "villages at the end" and "cottages in the canyon" left the echo of the century on this planet to get rid of poverty. There was a group of cadres who did not return and dedicated their youth and lives to distant villages.

Wang Hongjia said that the valuable experience he gained in his interview writing was to strengthen the party's overall leadership over rural work, organize the peasants, and take the road of common prosperity.

History tells us that "getting organized" is common sense that cannot be ignored. China's rural areas, which were once "scattered in the sand," contain the greatest power to save China. The practice of the past century has repeatedly made us see how important the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China is.

This is the story that takes place in China today.

In the spring light of the new era, our literary and artistic work is exploring the deepest part of the human spiritual world and writing an endless people's epic. in Mudor
