Mr. Zhang Jie is gone, January 21, 2021, 85 years old, February 7, the highest standard of Chinese writers network China Writers Network released the news, there are still ten days before the Chinese New Year Spring Festival, the whole country rejoiced in the preparation for the New Year to see the Winter Olympics.
"Caopo Village is my real hometown." "I'm from the Northeast. But I wasn't born there, I didn't grow up there. I spent most of my childhood and my entire teenage years in a village called Caopo in Guanzhong. A vague thought often arises in my heart. I miss the grass slope village where I grew up in Caijiapo, where the wind blows softly on the face; where the sun melts; where the wheat seedlings are laid on the ground are green; where the cave dwellings are warm in winter and cool in summer; where the hometown is simple and lovely... I miss Caopo like I miss a very close person, but I can't tell why I always miss it, I don't know what to think about it," Mr. Zhang Jie wrote affectionately in her "Remembering Guanzhong". Mr. Zhang Jie and her mother, Ms. Zhang Shanzhi, have lived in this poetic village for ten years. Caopo Village is the hometown where I was born and raised in Si, the eighth group of Linghu Village in Caijiapo Town, Qishan County, and the location of the village is the place that my ancestors have been called Shuyuangou for hundreds of years.

A writer can win the Mao Dun Literature Award twice, the only one in the country, and has won the National Outstanding Novella Award and the National Outstanding Short Story Award many times. Many of his works have been translated into many languages and have won the italian knight badge and the German, Austrian, Dutch and other multinational literary awards. Any of these honors is the height that our younger generations can hardly reach in their lives, but she has done it with a deep love for literature and full of enthusiasm for her hometown, and the passionate love of "Digging Cabbage" and "Picking Wheat Ears" has made many people remember my hometown study ditch, the little girl with a small pigtail and a small basket all over the hillside looking for cabbage, and also let countless readers remember Mr. Zhang Jie. I have searched for the local customs of her life's haunting dreams in the ditches and bumps of the study ditch countless times, but I have never been able to write a single word like her brilliant writing. Fortunately, the sweet dragon spring water in the study ditch has been gushing, accompanied by her reading aloud, the study ditch has bred three or four Chinese academicians, hundreds of college students, which may be the best comfort for her spirit in heaven.
In 2019, the famous writer Ye Guangqian (third from the left) and others visited Zhang Jie's former residence.
Shuwengou has been praised by many media as the first cultural ditch of Baoji, mostly because of her very ideological impact text, as well as the thick vein of spring water. Shufanggou is located in the Yangshao Cultural Landmark Area of Qishan County - the core area of the Other Hu Ruins. For three consecutive years, the launching ceremony of Baoji City's cultural celebrities entering the campus can be held in Shufanggou, and the fans of Mr. Zhang Jie of Nanhaibei for countless days have followed her deep words to explore the ancient and mysterious in Shudiangou, which should be the deepest remembrance of her.
The gentle and elegant Ms. Zheng Qianru in the humble work "Study Ditch", who is as fierce as fire and as empty as a valley, is the image of Mr. Zhang Jie in my mind.
Fortunately, six or seven years ago, there were experts and professors from Baoji such as Dai Shengqi and Huo Zhongyi who called for the construction of Zhang Jie's former residence in Shufanggou and the development of Shushugou. I also specially proposed to the Baoji Municipal CPPCC to develop and protect the study ditch, suggesting that the Qishan sister who was far away in the United States was invited to return to her hometown, and I did not think that the most elegant and quiet woman in the study ditch quietly left, just as she came quietly, the old house became a former residence. Fortunately, in August 2021, under the efforts of Wang Haigang, former director of the management committee of Caijiapo Development Zone in Qishan County, and Yang Huimin, director of the Qishan County Bureau of Culture and Tourism, a protection monument was finally erected in Shifanggou, and the protection of The Study Ditch and Mr. Zhang Jie's former residence finally took a solid step.
Mr. Zhang Jie has been living in her own words, in her own paintings, refusing or willing to lower her real head, until she alone pulls a small cloth bag away from the hot land of his deep attachment. Mr. Zhang Jie, who seems to be light and free, this "Child in the Forest", with the "Knowing Presence" of "The Soul is Used to Wander", with "Only One Sun", struggling with "Heavy Wings", the soul has not been able to escape "Miss Guanzhong" and "The Person Who Loves Me in the World" has gone, but finally made a compromise with "Wordless" and the world. Mr. Zhang Jie has always had a wish, hoping that the leaves will fall back to their roots and be buried in the Grass Slope Village (Study Gou) where he has long been thinking about, and I think her soul has already returned to her homeland for the first time with her immortal death.
Mr. Zhang Jie is a very iconic writer in Shaanxi and even China, the most influential cultural celebrity in baoji modern times, from a literary point of view, it is not too much to commemorate her with any words of praise, she has the height of Lu Yao and Chen Zhongzhong in the Chinese literary world, and her clean, pure, loess-like true words will be deeply buried in the reader's heart, the longer the time, the newer Zhang Jie is. Mr. Zhang Jie, daughter of the study ditch, rest in peace.
