Yu Danqin's works "Mountains" and "Dark Incense".
Such a masterpiece becomes more and more interesting the more you read it
——Reading Mr. Yu Danqin's new work "Dark Incense" has a feeling
Text/Zheng Baoguang
Not long ago, Mr. Meng Yu Danqin treated me with blue eyes and gave me two of his recently published masterpieces, one is the long novel "Mountain Range", and the other is the collection of novellas and short stories "Dark Incense". Eager to open it, the liner page has "Mr. XXX Yazheng" and the author's autograph. I know that "Yazheng" is a humble word, people have self-knowledge, even if I dare to be righteous, I am afraid that Ya will make a joke and embarrass people. I wanted to see the preface first, which literary master or which leader made it, in order to get a rough overview of the work, but let me down, in addition to the directory will go straight to the theme, which is also too unreasonable to play cards, Mr. Circle of Friends is not short of celebrities! They all say that Mr. low-key and modest, approachable, do not like to engage in flower racks, this time I am really convinced.
Originally thought that in terms of arrangement, "Dark Fragrance" was taken for granted at the beginning, but the author wanted to make "Red Flower Grass" shine. Honghua is a young and beautiful college student village official, sent to Huanglong Village as a secretary, in the face of environmental damage caused by illegal mining, and may lead to landslides, mudslides and other serious disasters, impatient, and partner Director Ye Baolin serious differences, thus deducing a contest between good and evil. He wrestled with the black-hearted bosses Luo Fatzi and Xiao Fuqiang, and finally let them obey and stick to them; quelled the fights caused by the villagers Mu Sheng and Dog Mu of Nanzhugou because of the homestead; used Luo Fatzi's "ingenious trick" to knock out the "chicken gong" seven inches, so that the village road widening project could be smoothly advanced, and so on. Facing the current complicated rural grassroots governance and the glue of new and old contradictions, this is undoubtedly a severe test and challenge to the combat effectiveness and enforcement of grassroots party organizations.
The protagonist of the text, Honghua, is bold and spicy, courageous and strategic, and dares to act boldly, with distinct personality characteristics, reflecting the mental journey of contemporary young cadres, especially female cadres, in the growth of grass-roots cadres. Although many times "set up" to make people obey, "friends come with good wine, jackals come with shotguns", but also an effective method and means. Who told you not to listen to the greeting, and always look down on me? If I don't give some color, I really think I'm just a vase that I can't use.
The article "Dark Fragrance" won the "Yanhe" 2019 Most Popular Novel Award, which is absolutely deserved. From WenFu's reluctance to work with his father to the south, he climbed aimlessly on the mountain village path, and spent money on Fermi to study an art major, but it did not come in handy, leaving him lost and confused. Suddenly, a burst of thunder and lightning blew up a purple-leaf pepper tree on the cliff. At this point, the story begins with a precious piece of lightning wood comparable to gold. It needs to be a bit mysterious, but the plot is vivid and touching, and the text is beautiful and simple, which makes the reader addicted. Especially in the depiction of scenes, the author gives people a poetic sense of picture with his keen observation and rich imagination. For example: "Wen Fu clipped the motorcycle and turned onto the mud mountain road that covered the sky, the mountain road circled, and the car was like a capsule passing through the crooked intestine", a good image realistic description, had to make people shoot the case. Next, Wen Fu wandered to the White Dragon Temple and met the father and daughter of the carved bodhisattva, so he was in a hurry and boldly proposed the idea of organizing a wood carving factory and asking them to join the shares as masters. Gui Fang was dignified and beautiful, warm as jade, and not good at words, but she had a pair of rough hands like old tree roots dug out of a mountain pass. A sentence of "Daddy, I listen to you", the typical rustic personality of a country girl jumps out of the paper. A month of fine carving, a smooth and translucent wooden Guanyin that emits the dark fragrance of lightning strike mountain pepper wood is completed. The article naturally cuts into the theme, with dark incense as the medium, the two young hearts thus rub out the spark of love, so that when WenFu brought back the grand prize medal from Shanghai and returned triumphantly with the Chinese Canadian girl, Gui Fang's face changed from happiness to sudden, and true love gave birth to a strong sense of vinegar, which is perhaps the truest emotional portrayal of most girls who have just opened their hearts.
"Charity" takes poverty alleviation as the background, and advocates donations and donations from foreign villagers, pairing up to help, and dedication of love as the starting point and foothold, so as to stimulate the enthusiasm of the whole society to participate in charity and accelerate the pace of poverty alleviation in the county. It is in this environment that Zeng Houde, who is heavily indebted in Shenzhen's entrepreneurship, heard that his hometown was going to set up a charity foundation of "Great Love for Hongshan, Poverty Alleviation and Poverty Alleviation", and did not hesitate to use the two hundred bricks borrowed by the bank to smash a financial road. His deliberate, speculative drilling style of behavior, living off the image of a traitor. However, through what he saw and heard after returning to his hometown, and the people and things he came into contact with, his thinking underwent a qualitative change, and he completely eliminated his prejudice against certain things in his hometown. The article wrote that the sister-in-law suffered from uremia, and the local villagers spontaneously donated money for her, which was very touching and tear-inducing. It was these touching scenes and scenes that deeply touched his human and benevolent soul, and resolutely donated the 13 million yuan earned by the widening and reconstruction of the ring road and the white to black project to the charity foundation in the name of "caring people". This is the finishing touch of the author's deliberate arrangement of the layout of the article, in order to closely follow the theme of "Charity". The whole storyline is emotional, reasonable, and subtle, with ups and downs, stirring up the reader's ideological resonance and showing the brilliance of humanity in the social development and progress of the new era.
"Picking the Burden" describes the growth experience of a stubborn teenager Zheng Mao, the storyline is not only vivid in language, but also true and credible, which is enough to show that the author is very familiar and familiar with rural life, such as the section of building grass bricks (also known as lifting grass bricks): "Sprinkle a layer of straw about two inches long", if you have not personally experienced it, there will be no such detailed expression. Of course, it would be better if you could sprinkle some stalk ash on the wooden planks and brick molds, mainly to facilitate the separation of the brick mold from the mud. In addition, in the third verse, near the New Year, Zheng Mao wanted to go to the mountains with his father to carry charcoal, and his father was worried that it should be a clerical error to encounter a poisonous snake like the last shoulder tree, because there were no snakes in the cold winter moon. What needs to be stated is that I do not have the meaning of "picking bones in eggs - deliberately looking for stubble", on the contrary, this article is the most time I spent reading, and I carefully read it twice, which is a superior work that reflects the real life in the countryside and the more I look at it, the more delicious it is.
In the article "Snow Lady", the author adopts a first-person writing style, using what I have seen and heard to narrate the story, increasing the authenticity and credibility of the article, and reading more intimately and naturally. Although the storyline is somewhat similar to "Picking the Burden", it has injected new connotations, making similar stories harvest different visual effects. Snow Niang is a bitter girl, because of the influence of the rural patriarchal ideology, she dropped out of school prematurely to take on the burden of a family that was not commensurate with her age. Fate is so unfair, not only can not fight, but also often slapped by the father, what a poor girl, but also the sadness of that era. However, it is precisely in this adversity that the snow lady has achieved the will and character of hard-working, perseverance and kindness. At the end of the article, a modern version of the real "farmer and snake" is presented to the reader with "slowly take off the red cotton jacket of the soil cloth on the body, throw it into the hole, and cover the snake steadily" in front of the reader, but my heart is praying, may the rescued snake always have a grateful heart, don't be cold-blooded!
So far, Mr. Yu Danqin's "Dark Incense", only 4 have not been read, and 5 of them have been selected to scratch the itch and write a little after-reading feeling. Because of the innate stupidity and lack of the gist, it is certainly difficult to understand the author's deep meaning, if there is a misreading that goes against the way, I hope that the author and the reader will forgive! The novel "Mountains" is still being read, allowing me to slowly appreciate and draw nourishment from the exquisite text.
