If you want to get a feel for the state of China's best short story works in recent years, you can't go wrong with reading this anthology "Into the Porcelain", which contains the best works published by Liang Xiaosheng, Ge Liang, Shi Yifeng, Lu Min, Shao Li, Xu Yigua, Gong Wanying, Zhang Zhe, and Fang Wei in the last two years.
Of course, the reason why these works can be selected for this book is not only because the authors have various award-winning titles, but more importantly, these works do have their rare charm, which allows us to enter the world of literature through reading, feel the extraordinary charm of literature, and also let us have a deeper understanding of contemporary short and medium stories, and can feel that there are still many excellent works in Chinese literature, which also gives us more confidence in Chinese literature.
In this novel, the one that touched me the most was Fang Wei's novel "Yu Mo", in which the author took two funerals as the starting point and took us into an in-depth combing of the entire lives of the two scholars.
From such stories, we can see the most real face of the survival of university scholars, and we can see that some people with personality charm are not accepted by the times and will inevitably suffer all kinds of suffering. Such a work can arouse many people's awareness of their own existential predicament, and can lead us to explore the path we have to choose.
More importantly, the protagonists of the novel are all intellectuals, and this also allows us to see that they actually have an ordinary side, as well as seven emotions and six desires, and also have entanglements of interests, which makes this work more readable and reflective.
Another example is Gong Wanying's "Out of the Mountain", which also surprised me. The author only uses a novella to depict the overall living conditions of a generation on an island in southern Fujian. From this narrative, we can feel the different pursuits of life in different eras.
There is both the growth and "distance" that I present as the narrator of the novel. Like the vast majority of young people, she grew up from her hometown and deeply laid the imprint of her hometown, but she is constantly breaking free from this imprint and gradually going far away, but even if they go farther, the bond with her hometown still exists and still affects them.
The other people in the novel, the most important person is the grandfather "oil onion", he is just an ordinary person, even for a long time has achieved nothing, but he is also a person with a great love for life, once he wore strange clothes, he wanted to change his fate through his own efforts again and again, these all show his personality charm.
And he later became the leader of the island's funeral industry, and realized the value of his life. But under the impetus of the tide of the times, his life is also coming to an end, so the novel ends with his accidental death, which also makes our readers feel more emotionally about his life, and also makes us have more reflections on the lives of ordinary people.
What about his work? The novel of the same name "Into the Porcelain" takes us into the growth of a porcelain craftsman, and lets us know that only by breaking through ourselves can we get out of our own life. "Going to the Clouds" tells the story of a conflict that is about to surprise her husband but accidentally discovers that her husband is cheating, and the novel takes a series of stories that happen unexpectedly as the starting point, taking us to explore the meaning of life, especially everything that a woman carries in life. "Bougainvillea" takes us to take twilight love as an opportunity to review the colorful lives of two people, and let us realize that even if the years change, there is always a person who loves us waiting for us on the other side of fate.
These 9 novels are all excellent, which has been recognized by countless readers and professionals, and at the same time, these works also carry the writers' ultimate requirements for their works, and they also have the authors' emotional value and spiritual sustenance and the thoughts they want to convey. Through the reading of these novels, let us enjoy the charm of literature and at the same time enter into the understanding of life, and reflect on our own life. #文学##入瓷##小说#
