Beijing, March 30 (China News Network) -- Liu Xinglong, a famous writer and winner of the Mao Dun Literature Award and the Lu Xun Literature Award, recently launched a long documentary essay "If you come to Japan for a long time", which has attracted attention in documenting the fight against the epidemic in Wuhan with literary brushstrokes.

During the epidemic, Liu Xinglong suffered from complex eye diseases, but he wrote down the whole process of experiencing the new crown pneumonia epidemic in Wuhan with amazing perseverance and courage. Different from the works that generally collect and write anti-epidemic stories, Liu Xinglong is in Wuhan from beginning to end, living under the same roof with three generations of his family, and his identity is not a writer, but one of the 11 million ordinary Wuhan people who have no way to retreat and only stand up on the battlefield of anti-epidemic.

At the sharing meeting held a few days ago in "If you come to Japan for a long time", Liu Xinglong admitted that after more than a year of coming to Beijing again, there is still an unreal feeling when seeing the bustling and lively scene, on the same day, when talking about the narrow victory of the Wuhan Zhuoer football team, the Wuhan fans said that "we survived", he once choked up tears, bluntly saying that the tear point is relatively low now, which is particularly easy to move. He said that even the professional journalists who interviewed in Wuhan will not see and hear more profoundly than the feelings experienced by an ordinary Wuhan person, because the real situation during the epidemic can only be felt by the real personal experience of daily life in Wuhan.

Critic Liang Hongying highly praised this work from a theoretical perspective, believing that "If you come to Japan for a long time" has full authenticity, rich literature and a high degree of thought. The whole book is full of the texture of life, with strong details and language integration ability, to achieve the unity of life emotions and artistic talent.

He pointed out that "If you come to Japan for a long time" is the most important one in the current works that reflect the fight against the epidemic. This work tells people to love life, have an open and inclusive mind, and need to seriously taste the ideas behind the words.

"The seventy-sixth day has passed, and the next day is no longer the seventy-seventh day!" "How stoic does a person have to be in order to save himself from being physically and mentally shattered in the face of the reality of jade burning?" Liu Xinglong used his personal experience and the feeling of being on the front line to write a 200,000-word long documentary essay "If you come to Japan for a long time" to express the thrilling, singable and weeping Wuhan anti-epidemic process.

From a rational and objective perspective, the writer describes in detail the specific details of relatives, friends, colleagues, neighbors, and people in the same city who are familiar or unfamiliar, fighting the epidemic to the death, and uses a large number of facts and practical actions to show the "desperate" spirit of the People of Wuhan in fighting the epidemic, so that people can understand why Wuhan is a "heroic city" and why the people of Wuhan are "heroic people".

The book not only depicts the ordinary and trivial things of personal daily life, but also conducts in-depth thinking and in-depth reflection around the epidemic, not only the unusual performance of underage children under the epidemic, but also the rare handwriting of the local anti-epidemic force, which is quite highly ideological and artistic.

In "If you come to Japan for a long time", Liu Xinglong objectively tells the huge damage and shock caused by this disaster to the hearts and lives of Wuhan people in literary form, truly and credibly inscribes the lives and feelings of ordinary Wuhan people in an extraordinary period, and records the tear-jerking scenes in the special experience of the Wuhan people with deep affection, as well as the country, society, medical staff, volunteers and patients in the fight against the epidemic.

"Under the new crown pneumonia epidemic, wuhan has many difficulties inside and outside the city, which requires each of us to work hard to change. After the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the hearts and minds of the people around the world are worthy of human reflection and reference. Liu Xinglong said. In the work, the writer's reflections and comments on many events are rational and deep, and they are also full of inclusive feelings. The dense details, rich sensitivity, warm feelings, profound insights, and pertinent insights in the book make this work full of content and infectious. (End)
