[Heart] Author Profile: Yang Benfen
An ordinary woman like you and me, a dewdrop that reflects the fate of millions of Chinese women.
Born in 1940, he grew up with New China, and after 2000, he set out to do a seemingly impossible thing: writing. So, this woman who did not have much education, this woman who buried the dream of reading in her heart, this woman who came from a difficult and ordinary life in the countryside, decided to write a paragraph to commemorate her mother Liang Qiufang, who was even less known and had disappeared in this world. The story of her mother and herself thus appeared, both unexpectedly and so powerfully.
[Rose] [Rose] Introduction and analysis of [Rose] works:
The clue of the work is very simple, that is, the life of Autumn Garden. If expressed in geographical coordinates, it is: Luoyang - Nanjing - Xiangyin - Hubei - Xiangyin. If expressed in terms of life stages, it is: childhood that ends prematurely - brilliant and short youth - middle age that struggles for a long time - lonely and lost old age. There is nothing surprising about the plot, the characters do not have a shocking character, and the text is simple and has almost no skills to show off. Qiu Yuan's life is like this, in obscurity, suffering, endure, and live. Her life and death past flowed out of her daughter's pen, as natural as the spring water flowing out of the mountain stream. This is a work of modest waves, writing about ordinary people and things, but with a different sense of the vastness of the universe. This is the life of an ordinary person who was damaged by the monstrous waves of the times, and QiuYuan and her family did not lose their human touch and good heart in the process of hard work to survive, which is also quite touching. In addition to the Qiuyuan family, the stories of the local people and villagers in the hinterland of Central and Southern China are also as moving as the wildflowers on the roadside. After reading it, it was difficult to calm down for a long time, the experience of Autumn Garden and the experience of their parents were so close, and the story of Autumn Garden evoked countless similar memories. The most touching key point: it is not a story, it is a real life.
[Rose] [Rose] [Rose] Comment Analysis:
Calling it a "front-line text" is not an exaggeration. I handwrite my eyes, I handwrite my heart. Sincerity is the greatest sincerity of this work. Or call it "vegetarian writing", because compared to the title of writer, Ms. Yang Benfen is a vegetarian and has almost no half-cent relationship with the literary world. Chi Zijian's flexible use of Chinese and dazzling skills displayed by Chi Zijian in "The Right Bank of the Erguna River" is unfamiliar to Ms. Yang Benfen, and "Autumn Garden" is a work with an earthy flavor even the title of the chapter.
Sometimes the jump in the narrative is more obvious, and some time passes. But if you think about it, the reader can also string it up on its own, and it does not affect the reading. Ms. Yang is writing with memory, some things are personally experienced, some are paraphrased, the perspective is single, but the fullness of emotion can also make up for the shortcomings, and it does not make people feel monotonous, and even more infectious.
[Sun] Recommended Index: Five stars
[Sun] Extended reading: Driftwood, "I Am Fragrant". The most brilliant part of Driftwood is the description of the townspeople. The rest of these two works can be seen as a supplement and commentary on the Autumn Garden, which is not as good as the Autumn Garden.
