Reflections on "Mother's Stubborn Temper"

□ Zhao Tingmei/ Wen

As a little white on the road of literature, I know that I need to start from familiar characters and things around me to have something to say. Inspired by the article "Father's Temper" of "Tea Tasting enlightenment Zen", I started from the theme related to my mother and wrote such a small article, reflecting on it, there are mainly the following three characteristics:

1. Small incision, there are trade-offs. The title of this article is "The Mother's Stubborn Temper", so it should be selected with "stubbornness" as a clue, that is, things related to "mother" and "stubbornness" that can reflect the mother's stubborn temper can be invited into the article. And those subjects that have nothing to do with "stubbornness", no matter how "tall" and "true, good, and beautiful", I'm sorry, we all have to give them up, so as to avoid the situation of branches and branches, entanglement.

2. Speak with stories. Forget who said it, to the effect that writing an article is to tell a story, just need to tell the story vividly and clearly, and avoid mixing it into the author's subjective assumptions. I used to write an article about my father and mother, "Father and Mother who love to mix mouths", which felt very good at the time, and now it seems that several times "I" jumped out and spoke directly, which affected the reader's understanding and feelings. When writing this article, I noticed this, consciously hiding the "I", hiding behind the story, and letting the story speak, so as to leave a larger imagination space for the reader.

3. The language is simple and unpretentious. Father's love and mother's love are like mountains and earth, they are so solemn, they give everything for their children, but they do not ask for anything in return, and we will always have a grateful and grateful psychology for our parents. Writing their stories, I dare not have the slightest fancy and play, just honestly narrate and record.

Some time ago, when I saw the article "Mother" written by Chairman Shang Cuifang, I felt simple and unpretentious, as if two people sitting on the fire on a winter night were nagging, and the words contained deep gratitude and nostalgia for their mother.

I have also read the article "The Great Uncle of Shanxi" by Professor Chen Caisheng of the College of Literature of Anyang Normal University before, and there is no flowery language and beautiful sentences, but it also seems to be a cordial chat, unconsciously bringing people to the article. When he saw "his face was thin, his hair was slightly white, his steps were steady, his expression was solemn, he knelt in front of his father's spirit, while burning paper, while calling out his father's nickname, the voice was soft and calm, as if his brother was still there, like the brothers were talking to each other, burning for a long time, talking for a long time, the paper was burned out, he was still there kneeling, kneeling, without the slightest intention of getting up." The family cried for it, and the surrounding viewers all cried" At this time, tears collapsed in an instant.

I give the example of two teachers, not to compare with them, but to say that their writing style has an influence on me, so that I can seriously think about what kind of article is a good article? How should the "order" match the "thing"? So as to promote themselves to continue to move closer to the standard of good articles, and gradually improve their writing level.

Two deficiencies:

1. It is difficult to produce a virtual mood or spirit, and the thickness and height are still lacking. For example, like Yu Fangjie's "Qingwa Xiang rhymes with sorrow" and "Persimmon Tree, Persimmon Tree", I feel that I am not only writing about my father's affairs, nor is it just a sentiment for my father or mother, but I have written the common characteristics of that generation, there is a vague background or imagery component in it, which can evoke the resonance of a generation, and the article has thickness and height. On the other hand, my own article is only limited to the thin realistic level, and obviously there is still a lot of room for expansion.

2. Leak point. In this article, I wrote about my mother's work on combing her hair, cooking, dressing, working, and exercising, as well as her attitude toward herself, her father, her children, and her relatives, although she also wrote from different aspects, but there were still a few points missing. For example, for someone who borrowed my mare to go to the ground, but let the mare "beat his arm", he stubbornly did not lend him a second time. For the pigs raised at home, stubbornly feeding them cooked food, etc., these are not written, if written, the image may be more real, vivid and full. The reason for this situation is that there is no outline, and where to write, you need to pay attention to it later.

A little insight:

I think that writing articles is not a mysterious and noble thing, in fact, it is a hobby of individuals, which is no different from calligraphy, painting, chanting, chess, singing, dancing, swimming, running, handicrafts, making, mountaineering and traveling, etc., in the final analysis, it is a kind of human interest, a kind of word game. Therefore, I can hold a "fun" and "play well" mentality, I can carefully consider every word, not to become famous and become a family, but to enjoy myself. If the writing codeword can be regarded as a creative labor, I am more concerned with the tranquility and purity of creating things and things, the satisfaction and pleasure after "getting pregnant in October and giving birth".
