Xu Jian, a well-known military writer, served as director of the Literary and Art Creation Office of the Political Work Department of the Rocket Army, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese Writers Association, vice president of the China Reportage Literature Society, a first-class writer, enjoys special allowances from the State Council, a famous cultural expert in the national propaganda and cultural system of the Central Propaganda Department and a "four batches" of talents, and has published works such as "The Long Sword of the Great Powers," "Hada in the East," "The Diary of the Atomic Bomb," "The Heavy Weapon of a Great Power," and "Golden Barley," and has won three honors such as the "Five One Project Award" of the Central Propaganda Department, and the Literary and Art Award of the people's liberation army of the Chinese.
In 2021, Xu Jian received two key works, one is the precious "Golden Barley" he retrieved from several crossings of the forbidden area of life, and the other is the newly published "Dawn - 1921". The publication of these works "once again confirms one of my creative creeds: do not write where you can't go, don't write what you can't see, and don't write stories you can't hear." Xu Jian said.
In the inscription of the book "Golden Barley", Xu Jian quotes Songzan Gampo's testament - "I want the old people under the whole world, the old and the old, no longer freeze to death; I want the young under the firmament, the young and the child, no longer living on the street; I want the weak who are far away in the wilderness, the weak have help, and the and the Guangsha are tens of millions." "That's the reality he's going to verify.
Speaking of the creation of "Dawn of Heaven - 1921", Xu Jian said: "This is a book that ordinary people read, so that in the process of reading, they can understand the centenary of our party, understand the major participants of the party, as well as their youth dreams, their sacrifice and magnificence, their dignity and their original intentions." ”
Sponsored by the Propaganda Department of the Liaoning Provincial Party Committee and the China Writers Association, and undertaken by the Liaoning Publishing Group and the Wanjuan Publishing Company, the seminar on the long-form reportage "Tianxiao -- 1921" was recently held in Beijing. "Dawn of Heaven - 1921", launched by wanjuan publishing company, takes the first party congress as an incision, vividly restores the founding process of the Communist Party of China, and describes the thoughts, spirits, activities and different life courses of Li Dazhao, Chen Duxiu and the 13 conference participants in a panoramic manner.

Nong Tao, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Liaoning Provincial Party Committee, said that the publication of "Dawn of Heaven - 1921" is another high-quality theme work created by the Liaoning publishing industry to implement the requirements of General Secretary Xi Jinping, which helps readers to better approach the party history, understand the party history, study the party history, and understand the great spirit of party building. Li Jingze, vice chairman of the China Writers Association, said that there are many literary and artistic works on the history of the founding of the party in 2021, but "Tianxiao - 1921" is still a work that makes a deep impression and has a strong charm. Xu Jian not only has a lot of material about this history, but also has a personal experience of investigation, and it is important that he internalizes these into his unique set of narrative methods - from which he can not only strongly feel that the writer has a big historical view, and has his accurate, powerful and keen grasp of a large number of details, but most importantly, as a narrator, he finally forms his own tone and perspective. "The founding of the party is a great Chinese story, and this great story is not to say that whoever finishes writing it cannot write it, but it is more necessary for generations and our nation to spread this story forever, and each generation will have a unique way of telling and writing." Li Jingze said.
As a reportage writer, Xu Jian is as colorful as his events and characters. He has written about the long-lost war, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway that crossed the roof of the world, the "Proud Son of Heaven" strategic missile unit that was "silent like thunder," and the smallness and tenacity of people under floods and freezing disasters. The critic Li Fang said, "Only when you have faith in your heart can you go far; you can learn something and understand, and then you can do it." The key to a good work lies in the power of thought, and the power of Dawn of Heaven - 1921 lies in the fact that it uses the complex and rich experience process of the life and social situation of the founding figures of the party, the thinking of national fortunes, the search for direction, the sudden awakening, participation in action, the weighing of sacrifices, the pursuit of success, etc., in the retrospective feeling of the conception and realization of new China, completely constructs the of thought, and truly reproduces the ten days of new China from darkness to dawn, which is a lyrical lyric of historical documentary with personality. ”
