After reading the article in Chu Chengdong's new collection of works " Yijia Zhuang Rider " , and reading the feelings of several writers after reading , I couldn't help but feel up and down. I was deeply moved by Teacher Chu Chengdong's excellent character and excellent articles, and I was also deeply moved by Teacher Chu's dream realization action. After thinking about it, he gladly ordered his pen and wrote this small article of "Perseverance and Perseverance to Pursue Dreamers".
Teacher Sun Bingwei wrote in his post-reading feeling that he and Teacher Chu Chengdong were once classmates in the same primary school and the same class, and it is interesting that when they were teenagers, they all had a common ideal, that is, to become writers when they grew up. Throughout Chu Chengdong's life experience is not flat, he has done a lot of business, and is to do a line of love, he has been in the countryside to lead the team, as a workshop worker, trade union propaganda officer, university student party secretary, English teacher, once worked as a business leader, and after taking office in the enterprise for many years in a downturn in the case of turning losses into profits.
He once served as the vice president of the "Qingdao Translation Association", the director of the Government Translation Institute, and the editor-in-chief of Chinese and English publications such as the "Qingdao Guide", which in just a few years has made the translation institute the largest translation agency in the province with more than 30 languages. He has also worked as a martial arts instructor, a qigong teacher... Because of his excellent work, he has also won honorary titles many times and was rated as "Qingdao Model Worker". Everything he does must be fully committed to it, and he will shine again and again.
Teacher Hou Xiupu wrote in the article that in the 1980s, in the Park along Guizhou Road in Qianhai, Qingdao, the Qingdao Shinan Wushu Association once set up a martial arts counseling station, where a young man in his 30s taught martial arts to teenagers, a huge field, dozens of students, trained like a young eagle spreading its wings, like thunderbolt lightning, it was really loud and colorful, the crowd around was praised, and this coach was Chu Chengdong. Teacher Chu Chengdong's conscientious teaching, shrewd and capable spiritual outlook is clearly visible.
Although Teacher Chu did a line, he loved a line and achieved a lot of results. However, he has not forgotten his original intention, which is to become a writer who can describe all things in the world and express his emotional voice. On weekdays, whenever he felt something, he would write an article and throw it into the newspaper and magazine office, and whenever he heard advanced figures and moving deeds, he would inquire carefully, and sometimes he was not afraid to go far to interview.
Teacher Chu said that once in order to interview a farmer in a fishing village, he went to the wrong village, because of the rush, the interview was very tired, but when he sat down to write, or when he thought of strange words and wonderful sentences, the stroke of God, he felt a huge spiritual enjoyment. Teacher Chu also said that the article should be good, first of all, it must be able to impress themselves and then they can impress the readers, which is really the heartfelt words of Teacher Chu Chengdong who has gained from writing for many years.
Teacher Chu Chengdong's literary collection "Yijiazhuang Rider" published this time collected more than 60 articles, which I roughly read for the first time, and the articles were divided into three series, "Legends of the Times", "Life Variety" and "Years hook sinking". The first series is a chapter in the story of the novel and is the main part of the book.
Balzac said that writers are clerks in the social era, and teacher Chu Chengdong has played the role of social scriveners, through his broad vision and twists and turns, vivid stories, written about workers, peasants, intellectuals, leaders, teachers, drivers, passengers, building chiefs, cleaners, witnesses, stall owners, couples, fugitives, etc., and put these characters into the context of social change to consider, perspective the author's deep thinking on life and society, showing the author's true insights.
The third series is an affectionate review of his own growth, life journey, and the past of his relatives and friends. "Longing", "Looking for the Second Brother", "Wife Learning to Drive", "Memories of Alma Mater", "Small Vegetable Garden", "My Hundred-Year-Old Father-in-Law", etc., the characters and scenes described by the author are in front of the eyes, and the author's deep friendship will deeply infect the reader.
One of these articles has made many readers read it emotionally and tearfully. The article said that on a winter snow day, teenage Chu Chengdong used a car to push his mother to the hospital to see a doctor, the road was cold and slippery, he and his mother fell to the ground together, the bicycle pressed on his body, the weak mother climbed hard to Xiao Chu Chengdong's side, pushed the bicycle to the side, how much strength did the mother have to use!
She wiped the snow off the child's face, gasped and asked Chu Chengdong intermittently: "Child, move slowly, see if it hurts the bones?" I could hear that my mother's voice was full of worry and panic, Chu Chengdong turned his face towards his mother with difficulty, the anxiety and breathless expression on his mother's face deeply stung Xiao Chu Chengdong, and his mother closed her eyes for a while to rest and open her eyes again, without saying a word, and her mother had no strength at all.
Chu Chengdong kept shouting with tears in his eyes, "Mom! mother! The mother quietly watched the child lying next to her, and the child said to the mother with tears in her eyes: "Mom, I can push you to see a doctor later." The mother's attitude is that "my mother would rather not see a doctor in the future, and I can't let you fall out of a good villain." The article highlights the great maternal love, but also shows the author's deep affection for the loving mother, so that the reader is all moved.
For me, I prefer the interlocking chapters in the second series, which are stylistically close to prose essays. Through the author's observation, description, discussion, and perspective of various things in social life, the author's thinking results and insights are revealed. For example, "Shadow", the author first wrote about the shadow of real physics, although it wrote a lot, but it is not the real meaning. What the author really wants to write is the shadow of the soul, the shadow left by one generation to the next generation, the shadow left by the teacher to the students, the shadow left by the parents to the child, this shadow is very powerful, giving people a silent effect of imperceptible moisturizer. As a result, Teacher Chu's thinking and insights on life are highlighted in front of me, which really makes me feel that the author is a person with a heart who can think deeply about everything, which makes Teacher Chu more like a scholar and a philosopher.
The article "Taste" is from the taste of food to the taste of life, and the scope of taste has long exceeded the original definition, giving a deeper cultural connotation. Through the taste in front of you, you can also reflect the taste of hometown, the taste of relatives, and the taste of friends. Seeing things and thinking about people, through taste, reminds us of our parents, sisters and friends in the past, and reminds us of those warm and beautiful past events, those years of hard struggle. As the author said, "Taste brings people a sweet life, drums up the sails of people's reverie, and taste also brings people closer to the true feelings of the world and builds a bridge of exchange and communication between the world." ”
In the "Sound" chapter, what the author wants to tell us is that everything should be measured and used in the right place. Beautiful music can give people a sense of pleasure, harmony and progress. But if the decibel exceeds the psychological endurance of people and becomes noise, the sound becomes a weapon that can hurt each other, the author gives an example: two fitness groups in the square continue to expand the sound to interfere with each other, is not counterproductive to the original meaning of the music.
When writing the above chapters, the author puts out his most primitive understanding of these things at the beginning of the article, and then through the continuous deepening of experience, the understanding of things is constantly sublimated. There are narratives, descriptions, discussions, vivid and lively, tortuous changes, swaying postures, so that readers benefit a lot from the enjoyment of beauty, "the text seems to look at the mountains and does not like peace", the author is well versed in the way of the text.
Idleness coincides with the fulfillment of dreams. After retirement, in order to realize his "writer's dream", Teacher Chu Chengdong "ran" more urgently, and in the past two years, I often saw his articles in newspapers and the Internet. He wrote in the afterword to the book: "When I was 70 years old, I had a sudden idea to come up with a 'literary collection' of my own, I set a creative plan, and tried to publish this book in two years, some people said that I was a fool's dream, this is not completely wrong, I do have a dream in my heart... As long as life is still there, I am a tireless writer, there are many things flowing in the pen, there are colors, and the dream is fulfilled. ”
In fact, Teacher Chu's dream of being a writer has long been fulfilled, and the articles that Teacher Chu has read in recent years with profound ideas and brilliant literary brilliance are by no means inferior to those so-called "writers" who have wasted their names!
Teacher Chu and I met and became familiar with each other at several meetings of the Qingdao Beach Festival a few years ago, and we didn't talk much, giving people a pertinent and cordial feeling, and then I often paid attention to his articles posted in the print media and the Internet. Our ancestors had two classic words about writing articles, one is "words are not written, not far away", and the other is "brilliant to the extreme, tend to be flat", that is, the article can neither be too peaceful, no literary style, nor too fancy, showing off.
Teacher Chu's writing style, words and sentences, and ideas and meanings are all among the mature writers. I once talked to Teacher Chu about the Tao of Literature, and he said that before he writes an article, he must ask himself if he is necessary. An article either gives people the enjoyment of beauty, or gives people the inspiration of the soul, can not be written for the sake of writing, let alone show off and show off.
The maturity of thought and the maturity of skills should complement each other, and Teacher Chu Chengdong has done it. Teacher Chu Chengdong is a person who chases dreams, a person who perseveres in order to realize his dreams, a person with romantic feelings and is solid and hardworking, and a person who makes me respect.
