You see, brothers, today I will tell you about one thing, that is, two treasures of our Chinese literary world, "Waste Capital" and "White Deer Plain". Don't look at these two works that are almost out of the age, we can still get a glimpse of a lot of ways from them.
I want to say that the status of these two books is really very different, just like our two brothers, one is a rich second generation, and the other is a poor bastard. "Waste Capital" was once banned, but it became popular as soon as it was opened, and "White Deer Plain" was a well-deserved winner of the Mao Dun Literature Award, which was a sensation.
Let me tell you the story of the book "Waste Capital"! This book is not simple, just like the bearded man who sells skewers at the mouth of the hutong, full of Chinese flavor, you can smell the smell of rice when you put it here!
"Waste Capital" is like a machine that travels through time, bringing us back to Xi'an in the eighties and nineties, which was an era that had just begun to enter the door of modernization.
Do you know that at that time, China was not the same as the small hutongs we had, and people's minds were still chaotic like a ball of yarn. Hey, don't look at the chaos in China at that time, but it is precisely because of this chaos that the story of "Waste Capital" is extraordinarily exciting!
Brothers, have you ever heard of the desires, confusions, and struggles of "human nature"? This is the theme of "The Waste City"! The author is like a clever liar who brings us into this waste city full of desires and confusion.
These intellectuals are like a flock of lost lambs, looking around in this wave of modernization, not knowing what they really want, just like a kite without direction, drifting with the wind.
Don't look at the plot of "Waste Capital" like a messy labyrinth, but this is a labyrinth full of human charm! You see, these characters are more exciting than the other!
Some are like greedy rats who spend their days thinking about how to hide large pieces of cheese, others are like lost puppies scurrying around but can't find their way home, and others are like a burning flame that burns so hot that they can't be touched. These characters, their desires, confusion and struggles, are like a mess that you can't see clearly, but you find it extremely interesting!
Then listen to me continue to tell you the origin of the book "White Deer Plain"! This is a very big story, like a stone pulled out of the Guanzhong Plain, heavy, so heavy that you can't breathe!
"White Deer Plain" is not just about the truth, every word and sentence in it seems to be dug out of the land, the landscape, and the people. Brothers, have you ever imagined that on the Guanzhong Plain, there are ancient villages and bloody family grievances?
This is the world of "White Deer Plain", a world full of joys and sorrows!
Speaking of which, "White Deer Plain" and "Waste Capital" are not the same thing, just like an old cow eating tender grass, each with its own merits! Do you know, this "White Deer Plain" has a period of grievances and hatreds that have lasted for thousands of years, just like a plate of unsolved beef noodles, entangled, making people feel greedy and sad to read!
Brothers, you must know that "White Deer Plain" is not only about the grievances between families, but also about the taste of the land and the style of the landscape. It's like an old man, sitting on a hillside, using that ancient bamboo basket to pick up wild fruits on the hillside. His eyes seemed to be able to see the rise and fall of Bailu Village, and his fingers seemed to be able to touch the pulse of the land.
Let me introduce you to Chen Zhongzhong and Jia Pingwa! They are not the same, they are like two knives of different styles, one sharp and the other heavy, each with its own merits!
Chen Zhongzhong, this guy grew up in Xi'an since he was a child, don't you say? His works are really hilarious, like a master who can tell jokes, and can always make you laugh!
His characters are just like mischievous little mischievous, and they can always bring you unexpected surprises. You say, this guy is like a naughty little monkey, always unpredictable, but also can't help but laugh.
Old Jia Pingwa, brothers, do you know that he is a wonderful flower in Shaanxi! His works are not only stories, but also have a touch of deep affection for his hometown. Have you heard of his "Waste Capital"?
It is a work full of love and nostalgia for Xi'an! Lao Jia's characters are like solid city walls, although they carry heavy pressure, but always maintain a warm heart.
Brothers, imagine that Chen Zhongzhong and Jia Pingwa are like one who can read manuscripts and the other can speak cross talk, each with its own merits, and they are both treasures of Northwest literature! Chen Zhongzhong is like a sharp sword, light and flexible, and can always give you a profound thorn in the face of your inadvertibility; while Jia Pingwa is like a calm and heavy stone, which can always make you sigh after reading his works!
"Waste Capital" was half-blocked because of the sexual depiction in it, but the more people watched it, the more they became fascinated, thinking that this is not a microcosm of our China's modernization process?
Have you ever heard of "The Waste Capital"? This is a novel famous for its sexual depictions, it is like a sparkling gem, although some people think it is a bit excessive, but more people think that this is a microcosm of China's modernization process!
You see, the characters in this book are like a group of ships lost in the tide of modernity, sometimes beaten by the waves, sometimes swayed by the wind and waves, but always maintaining an indomitable heart.
As for "White Deer Plain", this is a masterpiece that won the Mao Dun Literature Award! It is not only widely praised for its true portrayal of history, but also because of its family fate under the conflict between ancient farming civilization and modernity, which is a little sad to say.
You see, the characters in this book are like a group of ancient trees that have been baptized by time, they are rooted in the land, they have witnessed the changes of the times, but they have also experienced countless ups and downs and setbacks.
"Waste Capital" and "White Deer Plain" are not only different in content, but also have their own styles and artistic techniques. "Waste Capital" adopts a modernist narrative technique, with strong language experimentation, and reads like a feast of ideas, while "White Deer Plain" pays more attention to character building and social customs portrayal, and reads like a melodious ancient music, which makes people have endless aftertaste.
Although "Waste Capital" and "White Deer Plain" have become classics once they were banned, they are both treasures in our treasure trove of Chinese literature, reflecting the changes at different levels of Chinese society and the multi-dimensional aspects of human nature. Chen Zhongzhong and Jia Pingwa, one writes lively and playful, and the other writes affectionately, both of them are the masters of our literary world!
