In October 2021, China officially established the first batch of national parks such as Sanjiangyuan, Giant Panda, Northeast Tiger and Leopard, Hainan Tropical Rainforest, and Wuyi Mountain. China Forestry Publishing House's "Nature Library • China National Park Series" was launched at the same time. This is not only a blessing for readers, who can collect famous mountains and rivers, flowing springs and waterfalls, ancient trees and famous trees, rare birds and animals, etc. in the palm of their hands; it is also the blessing of writers, and the emerging natural ecological literature can lead their footsteps to a vibrant path, and then overflow a different spirituality and style at the end of the pen.
Yang Haidi's "This Hot Land: Hainan Tropical Rainforest" is one of the above books. The book shows readers the natural beauty and humanistic beauty of Hainan's tropical rainforest, and is the root and blossom of Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization in Hainan. It presents a lively community of life in the tropical rainforest of Hainan and successfully creates a vivid model of natural ecological literature.
On January 8th, the China Natural Resources Writers Association held a sharing meeting on "This Hot Land: Hainan Tropical Rainforest" at Beijing Dadi College. The participating writers, editors, journalists, scholars, and students not only shared their reading experiences, but also explored the basis and new possibilities of natural ecological literature.

Chen Guodong, Chairman of the China Natural Resources Writers Association: Reading Yang Haidi's new book "This Hot Land: Hainan Tropical Rainforest", I was attracted by the beautiful words in the book and the description of animals and plants. The basis of harmonious coexistence between man and nature is to respect nature, respect nature, conform to nature, and protect nature. The parking of the human living environment is the trend of social progress and development, which is also the meaning of the creation of natural ecological literature. This book has been deeply considered in the writing and layout of tropical rainforest national parks, and it is a work created by the author with heart and affection, which provides a reference for the creation of natural ecological literature, and looks forward to the author's new works.
Liu Haiyan, a military writer: After reading Yang Haidi's new work "This Hot Land: Hainan Tropical Rainforest" in one breath, I couldn't help but be amazed and amazed. With pure, natural, thick and affectionate brushstrokes, the author paints a beautiful picture of vitality, otherworldliness and purification of the soul, and plays a natural sound of man and nature. This is a grand audio-visual feast, this is a wonderful science popularization class, this is a wonderful journey of washing the heart, this is the harmony between man and nature. When we follow the enthusiastic guidance of Teacher Yang Haidi, walk into this hot land, walk into this tropical rainforest full of primitive wild charm and suffocating beauty, and listen to "gentle mountain songs, riding the summer evening breeze, melodiously coming from the depths of the rainforest", we may be able to awaken our long-sealed spiritual memories and retrieve the poetic space of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
Yang Haidi is one of the key writers we pay attention to, because her works, especially her prose works, are deeply loved and recognized by young readers. "This Hot Land: Hainan Tropical Rainforest" As a part of the "Nature Library" series of books, Yang Haidi chose to write "Hainan Tropical Rainforest", although she has the natural background of her life and work in "This Hot Land", but she did not simply stay in the historical, geographical level and the knowledge of animals and plants, but paid attention to the fun, artistic conception and language rhetoric of sketching and writing, so that a reading that shows the natural scenery of the national park, with the nature of popular science, will put her literary memory of the "second hometown". With the writer's walking and the perception of thought, it reflects the light and aesthetic qualities of literature. He praised that Yang Haidi approached nature with thinking and emotion, walked the earth, and went to practice and life to discover and create, such literary practice is undoubtedly full of thorns and bumps, but it is also what the current prose creation needs to vigorously promote, and it is also a kind of guidance for building a healthy literary ecology.
Documentary filmmaker and writer Wang Haibin: Heidi's writing not only fully conforms to the writing characteristics of natural literature, but also provides a model for natural literature writing: 1. The layout of the entire prose collection is a postmodern popular plate collage structure, one theme, eight chapters, the style is independent, and the theme is coordinated and unified. 2. In the writing of a single article, the structure is not single, each has its own characteristics, or the time line, or the character as the line, or the event as the line, and skillfully converts the narrative viewpoint, so that the reader has no sense of separation. 3. Rich in capacity, quoting scriptures, from folk songs to ancient poems, from scientific data to folklore, all accommodated, the amount of information is very large. 4. The words are filled with strong emotions, showing the author's respect for words and respect for life.
Zhou Xi, vice chairman and secretary general of the China Natural Resources Writers Association: "This Hot Land: Hainan Tropical Rainforest" is a symphony written by Yang Haidi, we not only see the beautiful picture, we also hear the pleasant voice, the majestic beginning, the smooth transformation, let us revel in the beautiful nature, worship, love, evoke our feelings for the Hainan tropical rainforest. This is a map of the rainforest that Haydy Yang drew for us with her clever hands. She paints with sincerity and colors with love. She read the mountains and rivers with her eyes and measured the earth with her footsteps. So her work is like a pearl, emitting a charming light. She used this book to tell us that only good people can write good articles. This is a clear stream, a breeze, such as the clouded leopard of Mount Hangluo, with a strong body, a quick shot, and extraordinary temperament.
Wang Jiangjiang, editor of China Green Times and a student of the 40th Advanced Research Class of Lu Xun Literature Institute: I have admired the singing voice of Teacher Yang Haidi many times, and as a singer and dancer, she transformed this unique personal experience into a literary language with style. There is a view that the origin of music comes from the imitation of the sounds emitted by all things in nature. In the book "This Hot Land", she treats the grass, trees, birds and beasts in Hainan Tropical National Park as a beautiful note, thus telling the reader about the large-scale symphony of tropical rainforest. The book's changeable chapter structure and personal perspective, the ability to deeply narrate and the grasp of details reflect the writer's writing ability. As one of the first literary books in China to describe China's national parks, this book is groundbreaking.
Zhang Yang, reporter of China Natural Resources News: Yang Haidi's book "This Hot Land: Hainan Tropical Rainforest" has achieved two innovations: First, in this book, we see the perfect integration of love and reason, speculation and narrative, humanities and nature, which can be said to be a valuable attempt and innovation; second, as a literary work, the book also explores the relationship between literature and region, focusing on how people complete their expression of life in a way of aesthetic imagination in regional space. How the texture of literature itself is constructed by geographical space, and how regional space is transformed into spiritual and cultural space. Through the constant change of location, background, and perspective, the book finally realizes that literature and geography become each other under the observation of space, regardless of you and me, which is a successful practice of literary geography theory.
Li Man, resident writer of China Natural Resources Writers Association and resident writer of China University of Geosciences (Beijing): "This Hot Land" artistically sorts out the existing ecological structure of Hainan's tropical rainforest, showing Hainan's most attractive natural landscape and humanistic characteristics. Heidi is not only a writer, but also a dancer, so in her pen, the Hainan tropical rainforest also presents a rhythmic dancing posture, which makes people feel suddenly. The "landscapes, forests, fields, lakes and grasses" in the natural ecosystem are important objects for the writing of natural resource writers, and we must increase our efforts to write in this regard.
Zhang Shiqi, director of the Network Literature Committee of the China Natural Resources Writers Association, writer-in-residence, and resident writer of China University of Geosciences (Beijing): The structure of the whole book is novel, and the music parts are run through one line, blending into one, and each part has prominent characteristics, each with its own emphasis, constantly stimulating the reader's nerves, so that the reader has been intoxicated by the excitement and pleasure of reading, following the author's baton, and watching the full performance. The magic and steepness, beauty and richness, fear and temptation of Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park are displayed in turn in front of the reader. From the perspective of language, Yang Heidi is like a professional local tour guide, taking a gentle step, with full enthusiasm, the momentum of the top exploration, and the beautiful and beautiful language, creating a pleasant atmosphere. Ancient book records, celebrity poems, legends, local slang, fashionable new words, quotations, hand in hand, beating in the green line of words, vivid, witty, rich, beautiful, for the natural scenery draped in a gorgeous neon dress.
Zhao Guanghua, resident writer of The China Natural Resources Writers Association and resident writer of China University of Geosciences (Beijing): Teacher Yang Haidi has deep affection for this hot land, her writing is rich and affectionate, delicate and beautiful, her words are fresh and flexible, and the words in her pen gush out like spring water. Reading her works is like entering this vast pristine rainforest, surrounded by clouds and mist, surrounded by moisture, and wet drops of water hanging from her hair and eyebrows. It is as if seeing the towering ancient trees in the forest embraced by entangled vines, the sunlight through the gaps in the jungle, gently touching the tip of the grass, the eyes are full of green, and it seems to hear the crisp birdsong in the quiet forest. All kinds of life are intertwined, beating and thriving.
Cheng Cheng, Associate Professor, China University of Geosciences (Beijing): What impressed me most about this book was that the text was permeated with the breath and vitality of life on this hot land. In the bitter cold of the north, species have to fight against nature, and in the tropical rainforest where the variety is flourishing, species have to compete fiercely with each other for survival. How could this not be the case for us humans? Struggle or competition may be the eternal theme of life, right? In addition, the simplicity and fortitude of the Li and Miao people highlight the vitality of the people on this hot land, and the Xian'an Stone Forest, which is "the entanglement of mountains and seas", "the pulse is beating, and the blood is rushing", etc., tells the life breath of this hot land itself.
Yang Chen, Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences: When I first met Mr. Heidi and read the teacher's masterpiece "This Hot Land: Hainan Tropical Rainforest", I always felt that there was a mysterious and profound connection between Teacher Yang and the beautiful Hainan Coconut Island. A writer who is loyal to her heart, through elegant and accessible words to show the land she loves, deep into the depths of the reader's soul, causing wide resonance, awakening people's desire and admiration for the beauty of nature, presumably this is the happiness that writing can bring to a writer, but also the lofty goal of writing nature and depicting the earth, Teacher Yang has done it.
Lin Jiahao, a 2019 undergraduate student of the School of Materials science of China University of Geosciences (Beijing): Teacher Yang's "This Hot Land" is not only about the writing of national parks, but also the expression of a series of regional cognition and life scenarios, in this book, Teacher Yang paves the text, eclectic, with the help of the perspective of walking and investigation, into their own experience emotions and literary heritage, mountaineering is full of love in the mountains, and the sea view is overflowing in the sea, combining the spatial environment of Hainan tropical rainforest, biological nature, human geography and "poetic habitat" to the fullest.
Cao Fei, Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences: Yang Haidi's works are a perfect combination of scenes and human thoughts.
Zhang Yanhui, Vice President of the Nature Conservation and National Park Branch of China Forestry Publishing House: Heidi's "This Hot Land" compares The Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park to a majestic symphony, and then plays this forest music ceremony in different movements, themes, and levels, which is the unique charm of this book.
In the book, the tropical rainforest ecological wonders of large trees towering in the sky, intertwined vines and roses, orchids everywhere, waterfalls splashing, birds and insects chirping, and apes and leopards chirping are perfectly presented to the reader. It's like John Muir writing about geysers in Yellowstone National Park, that kind of gigantic, astonishing, and frightening aura, like a blazing flame burning in front of people. The sense of realism and the sense of scene come to the face. This local experience fills the text with temperature. A large number of literary representations of realistic scenes allow readers to be immersed in the scene as they read. Feel the cool sea breeze, dazzling sunshine and floral air. For readers under the haze of the epidemic, it brings endless hopes and expectations.
In the chapter of the Li people in Wangxia Township, the daily life of the Li people is described from various aspects such as architecture, clothing, diet, medicine, handicrafts, marriage, etc., and the sentence "nature is worn on the body" unveils the way for people to get along with nature. Especially when it comes to the "Ah Xia" family, Grandma's tattoo, brother's shyness, as if in the middle of the golden house, sitting around a group, feeling each other's body temperature, the air is filled with the special smell of fireworks.
The text is more about plants, insects, and two crawls, and the description of birds. The morphology of birds unique to Hainan, such as the "Hainan Peacock Pheasant" and the "Hainan Mountain Partridge", the habits are not described further. It can be seen that Heidi Teacher prefers more romantic creatures such as flowers and insects.
"People's Literature" editor, "this hot land: Hainan tropical rainforest" author Yang Haidi: China's national parks are "national strategy for the construction of ecological civilization", related to ecological and environmental security, spiritual civilization construction and China's international image, three months ago, the state announced the official establishment of the first five national parks, Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park belongs to one of them, this is the luck of Hainan, but also the humble work "This hot land: Hainan tropical rainforest" fortunate, I am greatly encouraged and honored. Today, thanks to the great love of the China Natural Resources Writers Association and the love of the leaders and teachers for humble work, I am encouraged and honored. I am ashamed of the false praise, and I remember the encouragement and encouragement to everyone, and all I can do is to work harder to repay everyone with better works.
