The meeting was held in a combination of online and offline methods.
"Their writing is the best gift to the land of the Greater Bay Area." Zhang Peizhong, secretary of the party group and full-time vice chairman of the Guangdong Writers Association, said, "As writers raised in the Greater Bay Area, Zhan Gufeng and Geng Li's creations are rooted in the hot land of the Greater Bay Area, and they cultivate their literary flowers with the history, culture and current life here as nourishment. ”
Writer Zhan Gufeng
In recent years, Zhan Gufeng has written a book entitled "The Late People of Mountains and Rivers -- A Chronicle of the Characters of the Guangdong Left League", which recounts the representative figures of the Guangdong Left League writers Qiu Dongping, Ouyang Shan, Du Guoyu, Hong Lingfei, Feng Hao, Feng Naichao, etc. With the lives of these figures and the trajectory of the revolution, he reproduced the revolutionary history of the establishment and development of the Chinese Left-Wing Literary Alliance with Lu Xun as the standard-bearer, and truly restored the historical style and fighting spirit of the left-wing writers in Guangdong.
In the view of Liang Hongying, editor-in-chief of "Literature and Art Daily", Guangdong prose has made extraordinary achievements in recent years, thanks to the hard work of writers and also to the all-round prosperity and development of Guangdong's society, economy and culture. Liang Hongying believes that Zhan Gufeng's "Mountains and Rivers Of the Past - Guangdong Zuolian Character History" is created on the basis of objective quotations, and the style is truth-seeking and realistic. Zhan Gufeng placed Ouyang Shan and other Guangdong Left League figures in the context of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, in the framework of the Party's century-old history, and in the context of the history of modern and contemporary Chinese literature, restored the revolutionary trajectory experienced by the ancestors, reproduced the historical reality, and vividly portrayed the fighting spirit of the Guangdong Left League writers in that stormy era.
Written by Geng Li
"Candlelight in the Dark Night" is a collection of Geng Li's latest works, and the whole book is divided into three series: the first series of "Light in the Dark Night" includes articles such as "Gentle Into the Good Night" and "Running Before Dawn", focusing on exploring the soul of individuals; the second series of "Things on the Earth" includes articles such as "Father Pulls out the Infusion Device", mostly to recall the emotional interaction between relatives and friends such as father and sister; the third series of "Muzhen Wind and Things" includes articles such as "Living for a Flying Ear", focusing on depicting local customs.
Chen Xiaoming, a professor at Peking University, believes that Geng Li's pen is full of the tenacity of life and the desire for love, slender and deep, with strong individuality and subjectivity, but retaining a sense of reality, showing the living real life or warmth or sharpness to the reader.
He Shaojun, a professor and critic at Shenyang Normal University, believes that Geng Li's prose is a kind of free writing and a frank expression. Rural writing occupies an important part of Geng Li's prose, but it is not accurate to simply describe him as a writer who narrates the countryside, "the most important thing is that he takes the countryside as a starting point, extends the rural spirit infinitely, connects to the city, and connects to the future." That is to say, Geng Li's prose has a prominent rural spirit, withstood the tempering of modernity, and presents openness. He Shaojun said that Geng Li's prose has always maintained a true self, not humble, not arrogant, he looks at the world with a pair of clear eyes, happy to be a cang ear with great faith, both humble and strong and warm and cool.
Geng Li has insisted on prose creation for thirty years, and when it comes to writing experience, he believes that "the way out of prose is not nostalgia, the dignity of prose lies in establishing a new artistic paradigm, a new expression, in the new era of literature to establish a new spiritual world different from the narrow hometown of the past, and use this new hometown to settle our hearts." ”
