"Small Town Youth" is very local, pyrotechnic, wrote a heavy and beautiful love story, a helpless and enterprising fragment of life. The author takes the shonan town of Shonan in the early 1990s, which was affected by reform and opening up and underwent rapid changes, as the background, adopts the double line and the line of writing clues at the same time, one track is the college entrance examination and love of rural youth, high school classmates Xu Shen, Zhang Meisheng and Xiao Bin; Zou Liangang, a rural small trader who had tasted the sweetness of doing business, and Zeng Si, a fishmonger, saw the huge business opportunities in the sand and gravel yard and began to fight with perseverance. The story is condensed before and after the college entrance examination, and the development occurs in an intensive and interlocking manner, reflecting the conflict between the two generations of thoughts, personalities, patterns and the inevitable end of the accidental fate under the background of that sharp and turbulent era, which is thought-provoking and impressive.
According to Zeng Gaofei, the content of "Small Town Youth" is mainly:
The class flower Xu, who is the only short board in mathematics, and Zhang Meisheng, the scum of mathematics who is the only strong point, fell in love on the eve of the college entrance examination. A match made in heaven, they stole the forbidden fruit from a small hotel in the town.
Xiao Bin, the all-powerful son of Xiao An, the bully of the class and mayor of the town, also loves Xu Shen and feels that he and Xu Shenlang are a pair of golden boys and jade girls. Xiao Bin took a courtship path surrounded by the countryside and the city, and he asked his father, who was the mayor of the town, to help the Xu family get rid of poverty and get rich, in order to gain the Xu family's deep support for his pursuit of Xu.
Love becomes the butterfly wings that instigate the hurricane of the ocean. Around the love of three people, a series of stories have changed their lives and families.
Xiao Quanneng used the power in his hands and borrowed money from Zou Fatzi, the butcher who had become rich first in the town, and lao Zeng, a fishmonger, to open a sand and gravel farm for Xu Shen's father, Xu Fortune. The wealth of the sand and gravel field rolled in, so that Xu Fortune tasted the sweetness, he firmly sided with Xiao Bin, and Xiao Quanquan was commensurate with his family, and became Xiao Bin's lobbyist, asking his daughter to cut off Zhang Meisheng and accept Xiao Bin. Xu was deeply disobedient and instigated Zhang Meisheng to come to the door to show his attitude, and the father and daughter had a big fight over it.
Xu Fortune learned from Xiao Bin's aunt and Xiao Jinxiu, the owner of a small hotel in the town, that her daughter and Zhang Meisheng were cooking mature rice, and she was distraught, and when she smoked in the sand and gravel field, she accidentally lit the detonator that was placed next to her and was killed by the explosion. His wife, Li Meixiu, could not bear the sudden bad news, was in a semi-crazy state, and lit a detonator in front of her husband's grave after the end of Xu Shen's college entrance examination.
The gravel field where the owner died has triggered a battle between all parties, all of whom want to control or take it for themselves. The Xu family creditors Zou Fatzi and Lao Zeng were strong first, and on the pretext that they wanted the Xu family to repay their debts, they mined a sand and gravel field. Xiao Almighty wrestled with them and fought.
For the sake of Xu Shen's future, Zhang Meisheng and Xiao Bin temporarily gave up their differences of opinion, united as never before, and deeply concealed the news of Xu Fortune's death from Xu until she successfully completed the college entrance examination. In order to ensure that Xu Shen was admitted to the university in his mind, in the mathematics test, Xu Shen and Zhang Meisheng exchanged each other's names and admission ticket numbers on the test paper, so Xu Shen was admitted to the provincial city key university with the first place in the grade.
After the college entrance examination, Xiao Bin accelerated the pace of pursuit, deeply coerced and seduced Xu, soft and hard, and successfully forced Xu Shen to break up with Zhang Meisheng and accept himself. In order to repay Zhang Meisheng and make up for the harm caused to him emotionally, Xu Shen gave Zhang Meisheng the sand and gravel field mining certificate that Xiao Quanneng had re-replaced with his name, hoping to help him make a fortune in the countryside.
Zhang Meisheng, who is famous in Sun Shan, decided to find another way to get rich by developing a sustainable development. He tore up the mining license, contracted the sand and gravel mountain, built a reservoir at the bottom of the mountain, planted trees on the mountain, planted grass under the mountain, and raised poultry and livestock, and opened a road of common prosperity with Chinese rural characteristics with Xu Shenshen's sister Xu Qianqian, butcher Zou Fatzi and the fishmonger Lao Zeng, writing about the new style of the knowledgeable and educated rural youths of the 1990s who dared to fight in the world.
This novel is a work of Zeng Gaofei's aim to erect a biography of the small people in the countryside, and it is also one of the "Zeng Gaofei Rural Novel Series" that he plans to set up a biography of the tree monument for the small people in the countryside. According to Zeng Gaofei, the novel "Voyeuristic Bath" he wrote in the first half of the year and the long debut work "Red Dust Desire" created 20 years ago can be classified as such works, and a series of similar theme works will be created in the future, with the initial plan being about eight to ten. He writes about such a group of small rural people so intensely because he also attributed himself to a small rural person who grew up in the countryside of Shonan. He is particularly familiar with the small people in the countryside, and there are still a number of childhood friends of the small people in the countryside who are close to him and are as close as brothers. Although these rural small people are too ordinary and ordinary, ordinary can no longer be ordinary, ordinary can not be ordinary, they do not have amazing appearance, no prominent family lineage, no tragic story, no vigorous life, they are just a grain of dust in the world, a wave in the long river of years, insignificant. But they are all able people in the local area, they are all people with wonderful stories, their little days are prosperous, they have a sound and color, they have developed careers, family harmony, stable status, rich feelings, and actively pursue a happy life, they are a drop of water that reflects the glory of the sun, and is the projection and epitome of a great era.
It is reported that Zeng Gaofei is a former literary teenager, who began to publish works in junior high school, published a collection of poems "Blue Bird Rose Dream" in high school, published a collection of novels "Wanted For Feelings" at the age of 26, and published a novel "Red Dust Desire" at the age of 28. In 2006, he went north from Guangzhou and successively entered the People's Daily and the Rule of Law Daily, mainly engaged in the writing and research of economic news, and created and published works such as "Sankei Storm" and "Decisive Discourse Power" of the series of economic news works gao Feirui Thought. For the first fifteen years of his work in Beijing, he specialized in writing, researching and team training in economic journalism, and bid farewell to the literary world for a while. In July 2019, under the persuasion of Mr. Zhong Youxun, a university teacher and contemporary literary critic, he returned to the literary world and resumed literary creation. In the past three years, he has worked tirelessly and made remarkable achievements, and has successively completed the creation of nine literary works such as the prose collection "Everyone's Hometown, All Are Wandering", "Like The Year of Flowing Water, the Taste of Hometown", and the long novels "Struggling Growth", "Youth Blossoms", "Born like a Summer Flower", "Nine-tailed Fox", "Peeping Bath", "Small Town Youth", etc., and the writing of three financial and economic works, ensuring the average annual speed of writing more than three.
In this era when text creation is not valued, Zeng Gaofei believes that persistence is more important and more needed. He insists on writing every day, perseverance, quantity, but never indiscriminate, the quality of his works is called fine, highly recognized by the editors of the circle and the publishing house. He believes that art is endless, quality is first, and quality cannot be sacrificed because of quantity - his pursuit of the quality of works has no boundaries, only whether the ability is achieved, whether there is a new breakthrough, just like the world record - the meaning of the world record is not to always maintain, but to be constantly broken. He insisted on "left-handed finance, right-handed literature, speaking with works", requiring that every article and every work must be a fine product, and strive to achieve "the best of the best", give readers an explanation, give an explanation to the dream, give an account to the times, and contribute to the cultural rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!
