Recently, Zhang Qipeng, a member of the China Writers Association, a member of the China Essay Literature Association, and a member of the Plenary Committee of the Shandong Writers Association, and Qi Fengzhen, a professor of the School of Literature and Journalism and Communication of Shandong University of Finance and Economics, the dean of Chuiyang College, the director of Liu Yutang Literature Museum, and the director of Li Xintian Literature Museum, jointly created "Zhang Wei's Commentary", which was published and distributed by Henan Literature and Art Publishing House.
This is the first commentary on the famous contemporary writer Zhang Wei, which traces the origin of Zhang Wei's embarkation on the literary road, reviews his life experience and literary journey, excavates his literary roots and spiritual background, and evaluates his literary ideals, literary pursuits and main literary works, which not only presents the spiritual world of a literary giant, but also condenses a history of contemporary Chinese literary development, ideological change and spiritual flow from one angle. At the same time, it reveals the tortuous process before and after the advent of some important works of Zhang Wei.
What is commendable is that the author insists on proceeding from the text, starting from the writer himself and the social environment, living environment, and ideological environment in which he is located, and does not confine himself to the theory, and puts forward many unique views on Zhang Wei and his works.
Song Suiliang, a well-known scholar and professor at Shandong Normal University, believes that this is a meticulous, diligent, and laborious work, and the author tries his best to use Zhang Wei's own explanations, memories, and conversations, and to explain the causes, backgrounds, regional scenery, and cultural customs of each work in an eclectic way, and strives to accurately, thoughtfully, and meticulously comment on it without losing the truth of history. At the same time, take a head-up perspective on the master, there is no worship, looking up, artificially elevated, giving the reader a sense of intimacy, trust, and reality. The whole book is a collection of materials, historical sites, and palms in one furnace, and is a must-read book for studying Zhang Weide.
Zhang Wei, a famous writer and vice chairman of the China Writers Association, began to create literature in 1973 and began to publish works in 1975. He is the author of 21 novels, including "Ancient Ships", "Fables of September", "Hedgehog Song", "Book of Other Provinces", "You are in the Plateau", "Du Yaoshi", "Secret History of Ayo Fort", etc., many essay collections such as "Into the Wild Land", "Tao Yuanming's Legacy", "BanLanzhi" and many other works, "Wan Songpu Chronicle: Zhang Wei Prose Essay Chronicle" 20 volumes, poetry collections "The Road of Refuge", "Night Stay in Bay Garden", "Return to travel", "Book of Non-Practice", "Letters of Best Friends" and many other works, as well as "Zhang Wei's Collected Writings" in 50 volumes. He has won the Mao Dun Literature Award, the National Outstanding Short Story Award, the China Publishing Government Award, the China Excellent Publication Award, the China Writers Publishing Group Special Award, the 100 Outstanding Chinese Literature Books in the 100 Years, the World Top 100 Chinese Novels, the Chinese Literature and Media Award, the Outstanding Writer of the Year, and the Chinese Good Book. His works have been translated into dozens of languages, including English, Japanese, French, Korean, German, Russian, Italian, Serbian, Spanish, Swedish, Arabic, Turkish, romanian, etc.
The authors of the commentary, Zhang Qipeng and Qi Fengzhen, have been in contact with Zhang Wei's works since the early 1980s and have always been Zhang Wei's loyal readers, collectors of works and materials and important researchers. They have tens of thousands of editions and research materials of Zhang Wei's various works, and have authored many treatises such as "Zhang Wei's Long Edition of Research Materials (1956-2017)". In order to write this book, they have made preparations for many years, carried out a large amount of data accumulation and field visits, and received the support and help of many Zhang Wei researchers, so that this commentary has a strong authority, historical materials, and readability. This book is solid and rich, the narrative is relaxed, and the writing is vivid and colorful, which is a rare writer's commentary.
The writing of the entire commentary lasted three years, during which the author experienced many twists and turns and overcame many difficulties. They believe that in the face of a heavyweight writer with a writing process of nearly fifty years and a total creative volume of nearly 20 million words, it is very difficult to understand and grasp; and Zhang Weizheng is walking on the long road of literature, with vigorous creative vitality and new works continuously, and it is even more difficult to achieve a complete and accurate review of writers. However, Zhang Wei's literary feelings and literary spirit deeply inspired them, and Chen Jing and Zhang Juan, responsible editors of Henan Literature and Art Publishing House, continued to supervise and infect them, prompting them to finally complete this arduous work.
They believe that a writer like Zhang Wei needs one or even several commentaries, and they are willing to use it to throw bricks and stones. Zhang Zhipeng particularly emphasized that Zhang Wei is the most Chinese style and Chinese style writer in contemporary China, which is reflected in his profound traditional cultural attainment, inclusive broad mind, and extraordinary grace and nobility. He carries the cultural accumulation of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, and never rejects the nourishment of the world's excellent culture, but also has his own unique understanding and thinking and personalized expression.
