Qianjiang Evening News hourly news reporter Wang Jiajia
The Spring Festival holiday has reluctantly left us. During the holidays, in addition to chasing the Spring Festival Gala and the Winter Olympics, do you still have a drama?
If you chase the drama, there is a big production that cannot be missed at the beginning of the year, that is, "The World of Man", which is being broadcast in a set of golden files on CCTV.
Directed by Li Lu and as the chief producer, "The World of Man" is adapted from Liang Xiaosheng's novel of the same name, starring Lei Jiayin, Xin Baiqing, Song Jia, Yin Tao, etc. From the perspective of three generations of a family surnamed Zhou who live in a provincial capital city in the north, depicts the ups and downs of life experienced by more than a dozen civilian children in the past 50 years, and comprehensively shows the earth-shaking social changes that China has experienced since the reform and opening up.
The whole drama is realistic and warm, and the story condenses the sorrows and joys of generations in China. Many viewers have been in tears when watching this play, because they are moved by the plot and the characters in the play. Such a warm production is best to accompany everyone to resign and welcome the new.
"This show is so good, I wish there were more works like this." "Not enough to see, please update." Such comments and barrages abound.
The reporter noticed a comment that said: "There are no bad people in this show." "Thinking about it carefully, it is true that there are too many kind people in this drama, such as Zhou Bingkun, who is not highly educated but loyal and simple, such as Zhou Bingyi, who works hard and consistently, such as Zheng Juan, who pays without asking for returns, such as Zhou Bingkun's friends who helped their family after he was imprisoned.
Earlier, the Qianjiang Evening News hourly reporter had interviewed Liang Xiaosheng, and he had answered why he had been writing stories of "good people".
The following is what Liang Xiaosheng said:
My writing began from my own experience, writing "The Ring of The Year", writing "There Is a Snowstorm Tonight", writing "The World of Man", all of which were written about intellectual youth.
As Zhiqing wrote down all the way, they returned to the city, and I wrote about their return journey. They're in their 40s, and I'll write about them in their 40s.
To "Me and My Life", I still write about youth. "The World of Man" is actually still unconsciously feeling the young generation.
Writing "My Life and Me" was actually driven by a subconscious idea to write something for girls in the 80s. This carries a certain subjective intention of mine, that is, to go against the market and write about young people with a sense of age.
It is easy for authors to fall into the blindness of conforming to the market and the reader's reading habits. It is that the protagonist succeeds, becomes the boss, enters the state of front and back, and often disposes of hundreds of millions of funds to create a business empire. This has almost become a footnote to successful people in Chinese, as if it is not a good work to write without writing.
But in reality this is an unconscious pandering, not the truth of life. The truth is that most people are highly educated, work hard in a job, and after many years, he is still an ordinary person. This is the truth of life, the original situation of life.
But if a person can work hard and behave in a principled manner, then although he is ordinary, he can be a good person in people's mouths and make himself a respectable person, which is very good. Good colleagues, good neighbors, this does not require investment.
Although most of the works called novels are fictional, it is also based on the author's understanding of the living conditions of the characters and his insistence on literary ideas.
I wrote "The Ring of The Year" with a pen. When you are young, the characters you write are all characters in life, but you have to prove yourself by not living like life, and use some literary expression methods to show that this is not reportage, not news reporting. But now it is to reject technique to the greatest extent, to overcome the traces of sculpting in writing, and to strive to write novels not like novels, but like life, based on imagination and creative experience.
Writing stories before 1949 is much easier to structure. Writing the moment will immediately attract a lot of comments, so I have to try to withstand the comments.
Before writing This Is a Magical Land, I published a number of short stories. From the first article to the current one, I have been writing about good people, writing about people who practice their lives in the direction of good people in different era backgrounds and life states.
Some people think that not writing about bad people is just not having a life. But man himself is animalistic. If you look at the rule of law program, the bad guys there are much more exaggerated than the writers write. The writer's pen no longer needs to render these, which is very boring, and I can't appreciate the author's happiness from it.
The characters I write about are ordinary people. I think human beings have a desire for good. Humanity has always been affected by this, and civilization can evolve to the present.
Therefore, I am not willing to put my works on the platform of literature to compare talents, but I am more willing to put them at the level of social culture. In the period in which we live, this is an element that is needed by the greater culture of society.
I have been a teacher at Beijing Language and Culture University for seventeen years, many of my students come from remote areas and townships, and my son's classmates are also young people from ordinary families, who also have to find jobs and change jobs. So I can't help but feel a kind of heartache for the growth of young people.
I myself was in a time when I was a youth, where poverty was a universal phenomenon, and material life was much more backward, but with far fewer objects of comparison. Today's young people have to face more pressure, I also admire it from the heart, they can still work hard in such an environment, it is not easy.
I find that parents are very anxious now, because educational resources are limited, so everyone says not to lose at the starting line. But people with super high IQs must be a very small minority, but this does not mean that the child is scrapped, he may have other abilities and talents.
Most people have similar intelligence, so they have to rely on hard work, hard work, often at this time parents ignore the impact on the child's mentality, but in fact, this is the most important part.
So I wrote in "Me and My Life" that "I very much hope that future young people will have a mother like mine", because of the difference in the original family, so Li Juan cannot bring a passbook to Shenzhen. And those 99% of ordinary people are the most important part of society. It can be frustrating, but we must tell the truth and show that every aspect of life in today's society depends on ordinary people.
As an author, if I were to define literature, what I could accept was literature as anthropology. Man is the carrier of all kinds of desires. There are some desires that are good, such as the desire to learn, the desire to succeed, the desire to pursue love and a better life. But there are still some desires that cannot be realized, and they still torment us.
But at the same time we can also see that everyone is a rational student. The emotions between animals are mainly embodied in motherhood, but people care about irrelevant people. You say the impulse for justice, like responsibility, like you interview me.
When a person feels greater responsibility, he becomes a person with a sense of mission, even a spirit of sacrifice, and a person who is culturally transformed like an angel, and there are many such people in society.
One of my hobbies is watching movies. At the height of the epidemic, I had seen all the martial arts films from Hong Kong at home, and I admired Dillon. I also watch Spider-Man, I watch The Avengers, and it's all about mass culture, and almost every work is geared toward justice and goodness.
I also like "The Godfather" and "Once Upon a Time in America." I also watch animated movies, "Charlotte's Net" and "Chicken Run.". As I watch this, I wonder why they are so full of love, kindness and mutual help.
You see, these creators can be idealistic to that point, so I don't think I'm writing pedanticly either.
Fifty or sixty-year-old people, who do not have social scratches on their bodies? Life is not satisfactory nine times out of ten, do not see it as evil, but as the truth of society.
Living to my age, I will understand that human society has not yet become a gentleman's country today, but it is not a dangerous world.
