Immerse yourself in reading, walk with your head held high- "Body" After Reading The Selection (5)

(Gannan Daily, April 4, 2022, 3rd edition)

Looking down on the changing world, listening to the voice of the times

——Some thoughts on reading "Leaning Over"

◎ Zhao Donghai

The first contact with "Body" it is still an electronic version, I saw the "sample book" at an editor's friend. In fact, I knew it was in the creation even earlier than that. In the Spring Festival of 2021, Teacher Lin Ju returned to his hometown for the New Year, and in the small talk, we knew that he was rushing to a manuscript, about Gannan, what is the specific thing is not detailed. He was always busy, not writing, (a few thousand words a day.) It's on the way to writing. Now we know that his previous "missing contact" was to walk into the mountains of Gannan and explore the ecological environment and humanistic style of the source of the two rivers. Just returned from the mangy forest sea in Xing'anling, "Tiger Howl" is still in the ears, and the vigorous "stooping action" of the cadres and masses in Gannan has been staged under this pen. He is like this, constantly looking for the simple truth of the world, full of enthusiasm to record the voice of this era.

"The Body" shows us the "environmental revolution" of Gannan in a panoramic view; the details reproduce the ups and downs of this change process; and the significance and far-reaching impact of the change of the body are explored in depth. There is a saying in the book that "there is no spring that lasts warm enough to melt the snow and ice that covers the ground." This sentence is like a prophecy and a kind of faith, and it touched me very much. It's hard to talk about the reading experience of a 260,000-word work in all aspects, (in fact, 8 chapters, each with a different theme) to pick up the most touching points and talk about my reading and understanding.

The literary significance of "The Body". It is not easy for reportage to be popular because its readership is not large, and if you must read a book, I believe that most readers will choose novels with stronger storytelling. There are reasons for reportage itself, and there are also problems with the level of creators. Reportage has lost a lot of freedom due to the limitations of subject matter and content, and we cannot imagine what an imaginative reportage would be like. This actually puts a higher demand on it: "what to say" and "how to say". How to tell facts into stories, both its reporting and literary rhetoric, is a difficult problem faced by every reportage writer. This problem was solved by Ren Linju.

The eight stories of "Body" are fascinating and thought-provoking, and the writer Ren Linju brings thought when telling the phenomenon, digging deep into the complex hearts of the characters while narrating the process. The cadres and masses he wrote about are not a state of unresolved and difficult to solve, but a spiritual transformation journey out of the predicament and breaking through the cocoon. In the process of narrating this change, he did not use contradictions and amplification problems to attract readers, but used accurate and vivid language to restore the scene of the conflict, revealing the truth behind the contradictions in one sentence. Sometimes, the charm of the story really can't be achieved by "guess what I'm going to say". At the scene of the Nijiang dispute, he said: "I know that it is a disaster, but I can't find a way to crack it." Just like a drowning person, he knows everything in his heart, that is, he can't save himself, and the more he struggles, the faster and deeper he sinks. For so many years, I have been waiting for who can reach out a powerful hand from the shore! ”。 Teacher Lin Ju has been creating reportage literature for many years, starting from "Grain Road", and the language is used by him like an arm, and the fire is pure. In "Body", "Tiger Howl" and "Out of the Mud", you can always see him cleverly using "how to say" to solve the problem of "what to say", not only reporting the facts, but also paving the way to the facts, reading like watching a movie.

The cultural significance of "Bow Down". On the surface, "Body" is about environmental protection, but in fact, its significance is far from being as simple as environmental protection. A simple action was repeated by hundreds of thousands of people, five years later, this action has a magical meaning, it has transcended its own embodiment, into people's habits of life, when people once again leaned down, the original purpose was blurred, but unexpectedly found that there is more awe and reconciliation between man and nature, and there is more understanding and harmony between people. "Body" is actually exploring the relationship between man and nature, the relationship between people, and these relationships are the ultimate goal of culture. Today's Gannan stood up after bending over, and what happened to the people of Gannan was a change in civilization.

The most fascinating thing about "Body" is that it successfully integrates those theories and concepts into real life and practices them in action. Cadres let the masses see the action, bending down is to extend a sincere hand, which is to fear the people; the masses bend down to re-examine the road under their feet and build confidence from the trapped. The goal is simplified in the action, and the confidence is reborn in the change. Cadres and groups work together to change the world. For this big theme, the writer did not directly go online, but gave a deep analysis and understanding. We are always teared by those touching details, and the tears are actually in the understanding. In this sense, "Leaning Forward" is both a teaching material and an action. It has universal guiding significance and extensive exemplary role.

The epochal significance of "Leaning Over". In fact, it used words to paint a long scroll of the times for the cadres and masses of Gannan and shaped a group of sculptures.

For cadres, it points out common problems at the grassroots level. It is worth each of our cadres to seriously consider and learn from. The question arises whether to hide or face up, and the contradiction arises, whether to extinguish the fire or eradicate the hidden danger. This is the theme of the times that "Body Toned" is eagerly calling for.

To the masses, its pen is very close. The people understand the overall situation from small things, "This is not a simple matter of simply lowering one's waist." Insisting on a little action, if the weight is light, it will be able to close the distance with the masses. In the words of "Leaning Over": When the heart is close, it will produce feelings, and there will be trust and dependence.

"Body" is a work with rich knowledge content, and every time you read it, you will have a new experience. Just the beauty of the language and the wisdom of the work will not waste you to open the volume once.

The famous writer Zhao Mei once commented on Ren Linju's reportage: "If you only notice its documentary nature, you may miss an excellent literary book; if you only stay in literary appreciation, perhaps you will miss the profound philosophy; if you only stick to the understanding of a certain philosophy, you may miss the most precious feeling of distress of a writer."

It is better to hear than to see it, if you want to understand the situation, you should read it yourself.

Between the bows, the future can be expected

——The long-form reportage "Leaning Forward" after reading the feeling

◎ Li Xuexue

"Body" is written by the famous writer Mr. Ren Linju, who has won many famous literary awards in China and has launched a number of excellent long-form reportage works.

As a reading enthusiast, when I encounter a favorite book, I generally read it twice, the first time I read through, grasp the story synopsis in the book, the general idea, the second time intensive reading, read carefully when reading each chapter, each page, every sentence, habitually hold a pen in my hand, encounter words that I don't understand will be drawn out, and then find out its meaning and make a good mark, when reading some sentences that resonate with the author, I will also write down what I think in time, and when I encounter good words and sentences, I can't let go, "When the Yellow River becomes rich and clear, the sky becomes blue, The grassland becomes flourishing and gorgeous, and everyone's face will disappear behind the beautiful scenery of the plateau, and the glory will always belong only to this plateau. "What unfolds with the footsteps and eyes does not seem to be a natural landscape, but a picture scroll carefully depicted by a painting master." "It is difficult to seek a change without paying the pain of hurting the bones" These are the golden sentences I copied from the book "Leaning Over", of course, there are many such beautiful or provocative sentences in the book. This book describes the regional scenery and folk customs of the counties and cities in Gannan Prefecture, as well as the outstanding deeds and typical characters in the environmental revolution, giving people the feeling that the scenery is beautiful, such as the spring breeze, and the story narrative is vivid and touching, directly hitting people's hearts. When I first got this book, I loved it, and I couldn't read it in one breath because I was usually busy with work. It was a great pleasure to finally get my wish on the weekend!

The vast number of party members and cadres in Gannan have changed the people's perception of them with countless bending over movements, narrowed the distance between cadres and the masses, and enhanced the trust of the masses in cadres. In this huge "environmental revolution," many cadres have tempered the spirit of never giving up and the will to persevere.

My brother was a grassroots township cadre, and at that time, the herdsmen in the area under their jurisdiction not only had an untidy home, but also were not clean in front of and behind the houses. Every time they went, they helped the masses to thoroughly clean up the masses' homes and outside their homes from beginning to end, and conscientiously cleaned them up again, and at first the masses stood by with curiosity, surprise, and even some suspicion, and they did not believe that these state cadres who sat in their offices all day and only knew how to knock on the computer and move their lips could not persist for long if they got up on a whim to do this work. However, when the house was cleaned up for the first time and waited until the second time they went to the house and had been beaten back to its original form, the brothers and the head of the household exchanged a few words of greeting, and then began to clean up thoroughly, three or four times down, the head of the household asked the brother with some shame, why do you have to come to his house for hygiene? The brother saw that the herdsmen's thinking had loosened, and quickly told him about the benefits of the above policies and cleaning and hygiene, and then said that the herdsmen had become accustomed to a clean home for more than a month, so they gladly agreed to come down, and in the future, they would consciously clean up the hygiene of the home and not drag the whole township. When my brother heard this, he couldn't help but smile when he looked at the herdsman, and he felt a burst of happiness in his heart, yes, the hard work of more than a month was not in vain, and at this time the cadres and the herdsmen and the masses had a wonderful feeling of heart-to-heart connection.

Grassroots work has been busy, but after work, the brothers will go along the highway to walk around, see the garbage to pick up, the township cadres think in their hearts must do a good job in this matter, must not be the end of the city's health evaluation, it is very humiliating. The little niece missed her father, so she called her brother and asked him what he was doing. Several times the response was "picking up the garbage." Once, the kindergarten teacher asked the little niece what your father did? The little guy didn't even want to blurt out "Pick up the garbage!" "Amused the kindergarten teacher haha laugh, this matter is still our family's paragraph, in fact, behind the laughter but confirmed the hard work of countless grassroots cadres." It is precisely because of the unity of everyone to work unremittingly that the beautiful green ecological environment and living environment in Gannan have been created today.

The lover is a native of Damai Township, Xiahe County, once our family went to Play in Darzon Lake, the children finished their picnic, he began to clean up the garbage, he not only picked up the garbage around us, but also picked up all the garbage nearby, the eldest son covered his mouth and smiled, saying "Dad, you are addicted to picking up garbage, obsessive-compulsive disorder is committed again!" Hearing this, my daughter and I laughed too. I saw a sea of flowers next to me and took two children to take pictures, when I came back, I found that my lover was gone, and after waiting for half a day, I saw him carrying two large bags of garbage back from the path to the mountain, he said that he took advantage of the empty space we took pictures to pick up the garbage, saying that this is the place where he often came when he was young, it is a holy place in people's hearts, he knows that there is a path that the masses usually walk in the mountains, he thinks that as long as there are people walking, there will be garbage, so he went to the path to pick up garbage. When he said this, his eyes were full of affection for his homeland.

In recent years, the cadres and masses of Gannan have stooped down to pick up garbage, environmental awareness is rooted in the hearts of every cadre and masses, watching the hometown environment change day by day, they feel that this is a thing of great pride and pride, the appearance of the hometown is becoming more and more beautiful, everyone will feel happy and happy.

Since the launch of the "environmental revolution", Gannan's reputation in the outside world has become more and more famous, and Gannan people have become more confident and proud. In recent years, Gannan has been well-known throughout the country, many people outside the first impression of Gannan is clean, clean sky, clean grassland, clean streets and alleys, even the air is clean, Gannan has become a peach blossom in the eyes of urban people, a green ecological blessed land in their hearts. Gannan can be expected in the future! And all this is due to this far-reaching "environmental revolution".

Bowing down, bowing is the body, but also the heart. The body is the most noble and touching gesture, countless times of the body is undoubtedly the awe of the gannan people for nature, only when people and nature live in harmony, we will have a better future!

The power of persistence

——Reading the long-form reportage "Leaning Over" has a feeling

◎ Zhang Runde

Who in the world has the most strength? Scientists did an experiment in which whoever could completely separate the hard skull of a human being was Hercules. The result was astounding, and only the sprouted plant seeds completely separated the bones that could not be separated by mechanical forces. Why do plant seeds have so much power? By observing the process of the grass pressed under the big stone to open the stone head, people found that this is a "long-term resistance" force, elastic, flexible and stretchable force, tough, not to achieve the purpose of the force. At the end of the day, that's the power of persistence.

Read "Bow Down" and cover up the contemplation. Who created Gannan's "green rise"? Who created Gannan's "spiritual highland"? It is the decision maker, the leader, the practitioner... Vivid character images, vivid true stories, and humanistic legends circulating in the land of Gannan are presented to us in a three-dimensional and multi-dimensional way. I have to say that this is a good book, the hard work of the writer "bending over" the land of Gannan, and it shows the glorious course of the 750,000 people of all nationalities in Gannan in unity and struggle, changing their destiny, and creating miracles.

From the development of "no garbage in the whole region", to the construction of "five no Gannan", to the creation of "ten homes", the people of all ethnic groups in Gannan have "stooped" under the correct leadership of the state party committee and state government, and have achieved fruitful results. There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of those who have a heart. Conscience, public heart, and heart for the people are fully revealed in this book. In the face of difficulties and dangers, leading cadres will always walk in the forefront. In the face of work, leading cadres are the first to "bow down." In front of the masses, leading cadres regard the masses as relatives. Leading cadres must solve difficult problems for the masses, not once, twice, three times... The hundredth time it has succeeded, what kind of feelings and strength is contained in such "success"? Teacher Ren Linju said in the book, "To know how bitter Huang Lian really is, only those who have tasted it will know." How difficult it is for the masses can only be understood after putting themselves in their shoes. ”

By adhering to the "environmental revolution", Gannan Prefecture has changed the relationship between cadres and the masses, realized the harmony between people, the harmony between man and nature, and ultimately promoted its own harmonious development. The meaning of insisting on "bowing down" will only be understood after a long period of baptism. The book reads: There is only one step between dignity and the laughing stock. Picking up garbage, something that three-year-olds can do, and letting state cadres do it, looks incredible. "Only when cadres bend down sincerely and sincerely can they get rid of the arrogance and extravagance in their hearts, and can they humbly and revere their subordinates, the masses, the cause, and their work; only when human beings bend down sincerely can they eliminate the greed in their hearts, and can they have a heart of humility, sincerity, and reverence for nature, for the landscape, for the same kind, and for other species." After reading this sentence, I finally understood that it is not only the body that "bends" down, but also the heart that bows.

Impressive is the Dolma Gabu on the Maqu steppe, following the ancestral precepts, treating the river as a god and the mountain as a god, and revering it. For more than ten years, regardless of personal gains and losses, organize employees and relatives and friends to pick up garbage, fund the establishment of environmental protection volunteer associations, plant grass and trees to control desertified grassland, adhere to their own practical actions, consciously and sacredly maintain the beauty of the green home.

It is difficult to "bend over", it is difficult to "seek change", and the difficulty lies in people's long-term thinking and living habits. "We must destroy the momentum of decay, hurt the bones, and seek a change of rebirth." This resounding sentence has effectively promoted the development of the "environmental revolution" in Gannan. On the face of it, the environment has nothing to do with poverty alleviation. Secretary Yu Chenghui was in his chest, "Persist, in five years you will see what Gannan will look like." "Persist, the agricultural and pastoral areas have become tourist scenic spots, net red punch card places; stick to it, farmhouses, pastoral music blossom and bear fruit everywhere; persist, cattle industry, sheep industry, feeding industry, grain industry, pharmaceutical industry, mushroom industry, organic fertilizer industry ... Mushrooms have sprung up. As a result, the face of poverty and backwardness in Gannan was changed in one fell swoop. That's the power of persistence.

Our happiness comes from the happiness of the people, and the happiness of the people comes from us Communists. The country is the people, and the people are the country. The happiness of the masses of the people is the source of motivation for us to persist in "bowing down."
