I am very pleased to see that Mr. Tongyangzhou's 700,000-word biographical novel "The Song of Survival" was published when he was approaching his old age, which is gratifying and congratulatory.

I am a good friend with the teacher, and in the decades of acquaintance I have loved his novels, he loves my poetry, calligraphy, he sent me novels, and I sent him calligraphy. He silently collected two of my calligraphy works: 1 it is difficult to be a person, it is even more difficult to be a good person, and it is even more difficult to be a good person; 2 it is not easy, I do not know where the heart of the teacher is. When I finished watching his "Survival Song", I found resonance and answers in it.
This biographical novel is unusual, there is no heroic figure on the tall, there is no pursuit of the glory of the marshal general, the legend of the highlight character, the hunting freshness of the star beauty... It is a group of ordinary and lowest-level ordinary people. The hardships of the people, the people's grounded life, the people's bittersweet and sour.

And these most primitive and grounded people have not been touched for a long time, or a historical period. And only Mr. Tongyangzhou, who lives among the common people, uniquely believes that they are the ones who can support the torrent of the giant ship and the solid foundation for nurturing the republic. Their lives, their breathing, their years have passed, and they can be called magnificent songs! Boldly erect monuments for them, speak for them, and shout for them. I want to name this biographical novel with my teacher "Survival Song", not on a whim, to spoil people. Instead, it was repeatedly screened and deliberated, and deliberate. The novel, with a pen, with the heart, with courage, with courage, with countless sleepless nights, temptations, touches, revealing that people have been shipwrecked into water, rolling in the lake of the heart of the unspeakable and bitter. Chapters and chapters are all helplessness of life in special years, the struggle of life, the reflection of life, the expectation and tenacity of life. Good and ugly, suffering and sweetness. From beginning to end, the lucky ones are indispensable, and the love of the fallen children cannot be helped. The strong stand on the shoulders of others, the weak send people the humiliation under the fence, the weak suffer step by step, the strong step by step, crying blood and tears, fascinating.
The development of society towards the future is itself an exploration, and it is impossible to have a well-designed template. As an exploration, it is impossible to have all kinds of confusion, deep or shallow, and it is inevitable to go forward in confusion, go in the wrong direction, and take a detour. The recklessness in confusion, the simplicity in confusion, and the naivety in confusion can only be clear and sober after getting out of confusion. And once the confusion is over and the light is ushered in, it is necessary to be confused, take the wrong detour and sacrifice the person, give forgiveness and understanding to the world that was once and the past. And this forgiveness and understanding is shown by the teacher in the protagonist Liu Xiaoxi and the mother of Cao Doctor Liu Xiaoxi. With the broadest mind, they let go of their own efforts and sacrifices, regardless of personal gains and losses, regardless of the previous suspicions of others, composed a song of great love and noble sentiments, moral standards, all the hearts that look forward, and the personal pain will be laughed and revenge. It shows the greatness of our country and nation! The charm of the survival song.
Survival Song Seminar
He has taught with teachers, served as a principal, and has a high sense of responsibility. From the book, we can see the spiritual feelings of the same teacher, in order to sing more magnificent songs, enhance the historical thickness of the songs, treat history in the whole process of biography, very objective, very fair, very stable and realistic, do not participate in the leave, do not carry water, do not have the color of judgment, the original, restore the various political processes in the early and middle periods of the republic, restore the original face of history, and leave it to posterity to comment. Let people think bitterly from sorrow and regret, fanaticism and impetuosity, to understand, to analyze, to judge, to introspect their own experience, the past of the republic. Look for the reason, quietness, harmony and direction that should be there, and draw lessons and lessons. Find the golden key to being kind to people, national rejuvenation, and national development. Avoid a tragedy repeating itself. When I saw from the novel that Judge Zhou dared to throw himself away his mistakes and rehabilitate Zhaoxue's mind, Wang Sheng regretted that he had revived his conscience and his feelings were multiplied. The teacher is not laying out fantasies, but using a large number of social historical facts, truly praising the return to the truth, and it is precisely in this way that our dreams are hopeful. "Survival Song" is how many years have passed, and it is like a mirror, making people more reflective.
"Survival Song" is also a song of love. All novels that write about people are writing about love, which is the yearning and love between men and women in general, the instinctive impulses of human nature. They are all romances full of male and female love, but they do not have the unique style of "Survival Song". And the love between people in "Survival Song" is based on the resonance of the heart in the difficult years. The love between Dr. Cao and his wife, who is boiled in pain and tears, is a love that is intellectually regrettable and tragic, and when they do not get love, they hold their husband's hookah in their hands and go away. Liu Xiaoxi's mother's love for her son, the bottle of alabaster bought by her son was saved until the last moment of his life, and Li Gen's ugly three black cards could not be given up although he remarried. Li Yunlai went with Li Gen ugly to serve Liu Xiaoxi's mother, idle writing is not idle, small feelings are not small, the meaning is far-reaching, all words contain affection, sound and sound hide love, between the whole words, a group of small people although there is no expression of love, but the love is vividly expressed, the simplest props, the most real life, blooming ordinary people's human love, the simplicity of love, the persistence of love, the innocence of love, the nobility and far-reaching love. This is also the foreshadowing of writing love with the teacher", and the finishing touch of love.
This novel is grounded and has a strong local atmosphere. There is no flamboyance, impetuousness, no incomprehensible text, straightforward, easy to understand, smooth, one read to understand, one listen to understand. Almost out-of-print folklore, children's songs and fairy tales that are about to be lost, are all painted and colored just right, making people reminisce endlessly, adding a lot of excitement to the novel!
Anyone who has watched "The Magnificent Song of Survival" will follow the protagonist's bumpy experience, sympathize with Liu Xiaoxi's tragic youth, the wandering career during the period of death, and the tenacity when his life is in danger. Envy the wonderful and brilliant after success, give the novel a high evaluation!
Survival Song Seminar
The song of survival comforts all those who come after a truth, the meaning of life, the value of happiness, without hardship and setbacks, do not know what is to wake up. Without going through the fire, I don't know what steel is made. Without tearing the heart and lungs, I don't know what pain is. Without parting, I don't know what home is. Without a long thought, I don't know what love is. The pursuit of living with the quality of life, the pursuit of ideals, responsibilities, and responsibilities to live, we must dare to use persistence, kindness, and spirit when misfortune strikes, dare to use persistence, kindness, and spirit, stand up, take responsibility, persist, go through, and never return.
The protagonist of the book, Liu Xiaoxi, has bad luck, accidentally fled for twenty years, changed his name several times, pretended to be deaf and dumb, immersed himself in studying medicine, met, met, and met Dr. Cao, Lao Zhang, Lao Duo, Wang Laohan, Li Gen ugly, a good person, everyone is a "Survival Song". They are burdened with all kinds of false grievances, some wives and children are separated, some are difficult to return home, some are difficult to surrender, and they are exiled to other places and temporarily live in The Hut. The cold wind is biting, and the hunger is unbearable. But their righteous ability to be a human being does not fall, their good character does not change, the spirit of finding vitality in the cracks does not fall, the responsibility of loving family affection does not fall, and the feelings of patriotism and love for the family do not fall, supporting them to live no matter how difficult it is, and no matter how difficult it is, they must be good people. They have added eternal excitement to the long river of mankind and interpreted the life of spring. And these fragrances with blood and tears make the world raise its head high. It shows the tenacious meaning of life. This is my annotation of Mr. Tongyang zhou and his survival song, and it is also the soul of "Survival Song". She is as beautiful as Mr. Lu Yao's "Life" and "In the Days of Suffering", the same work, and the same brilliance.
Survival Song Seminar
I wrote one of my little poems to the teacher tongyangzhou who worked tirelessly and ended my short essay.
An undeliverable lamp
Someone didn't say a word
No one
Silent
It's not that your stomach is hollow
Rather, it is brewing with deep affection
Push the mill of life with a pen
Wen Mo roared in his heart
Look for the source of spring
Seventy-six-year-old survival song
Unleash the rainbow of the ancient years
Soar in the literary world
Like a little swallow ringing a spring bell
Sow seeds on the ground of wind and rain
How many times the ideal dream
Year after year
Trace the loess land
Today's survival song
And the local style
Dedicated to the common people who share honor and disgrace
It's not that you don't say a word
It is your silence that is better than sound
Alpine green pine in the pen
Words pierce the clear sky
