Today (23rd) afternoon, the ""On the Top of That High Mountain" New Book Launch and Reading Sharing Meeting" was held in Chengdu Wenxuan BOOKS Bookstore. The seminar was conducted in a combination of online and offline. The protagonists of the book, Li Guilin and Lu Jianfen, came to the scene.
Vivid and appropriate interpretation of "Bookish China, All-round Well-off"
Since 2009, Sichuan writer Chen Guo has used non-fiction techniques to write about the journey of "Double Hundred Characters", "The Most Beautiful Strivers" and "Moving Chinese Things" Li Guilin and Lu Jianfen have taken root in the deep mountains and Yi villages and sowed the spark of knowledge, and published a long reportage "On the Top of That High Mountain" published by the Sichuan People's Publishing House.
Huang Lixin, president of Sichuan People's Publishing House, said in his speech at the scene, "Today is the 27th World Book Day. The theme of the book day is 'Books fragrant China, all-round well-off'. "On the Top of That High Mountain" is a very appropriate and vivid interpretation of this theme, opening up a rural scene that can withstand historical questioning and human scrutiny. ”
Author Chen Guo
When sharing his creative experience, Chen Guo said that the protagonist he wrote is a writing object that has just happened and is happening on the main battlefield of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization, which can be encountered but cannot be sought, and is worth preserving and not being missed.
In the online guest sharing session, He Jianming, director of the Reportage Committee of the China Writers Association and a writer, mentioned, "First of all, I am very interested in this title, and this name is a bit of my taste. Ding Xiao, vice president and critic of the China Reportage Literature Society, believes that "on the top of that high mountain" "the theme has a distinct epochality, but also has the beauty of the teacher's way that transcends specific time and space, and has a heavy spiritual weight when read."
"Without Chen Guo's 12 years of care for two teachers, we would not have been able to see such a good work."
After the online sharing, Luo Weizhang, Lu Yiping, Gan Haibing and other Sichuan writers conducted a post-reading discussion offline.
Luo Weizhang said that Chen Guo is a writer with pursuits, attitudes, and reassurance. "Chen Guo has concerns about Teacher Li and Teacher Lu in the book, and literature is concern. The subjectivity of the author begins with respect for one's own emotions, thoughts, and subjectivity. There are very few good reportage works now. Without Chen Guo's 12 years of care for Teachers Li and Lu, we would not have been able to see such a good work. ”
Lu Yiping mentioned that when she heard that Chen Guo wanted to write about this subject, "I was very worried about him, this subject is not easy to write." Chen Guo is very wise and successful in expressing the 30-year persistence of Teacher Li and Teacher Lu, and that spiritual light through literary narratives. ”
Gan Haibing believes that Chen Guo "restores the truth in creation and has made a major breakthrough in writing." He did not portray Li Guilin and Lu Jianfen as tall and tall characters without any flaws, such as writing about the teacher's personality, the contradictions between husband and wife, etc., which are real, have temperature, and have flesh and blood."
In the final part of the press conference, Huang Lixin, president of Sichuan People's Publishing House, and Cai Linjun, the responsible editor of this book, respectively donated books to Ba Jin Wen College, the protagonist Li Guilin Lu Jianfen and his wife, Jinniu District Library, Yulin Middle School and other units and individuals.
