I was shocked to learn that the famous writer Yao Xueyu's Beijing Research Association had walked into his hometown and established Dengzhou's "Yao Xue Yao Yan".
A master of modern and contemporary literature, he has made many achievements, has a wide range of titles, and has a great influence. The most enjoyable and detailed oral description is his magnificent masterpiece of history in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, "Li Zicheng", which is a household name in China, known to women and children, and praised by all. This masterpiece has set a new milestone in the history of China's modern and contemporary historical and literary works, opened a new chapter, played a groundbreaking role, and is of epoch-making significance. The concept is new, the philosophy is strong, and the significance is profound, which lays a solid foundation for innovation for the later creation of historical literature.
Speaking of Mr. Yao, I am deeply touched. In those years of elementary school and middle school, I went to school in the township, and the school has always subscribed to the "Composition and Guidance" newspaper at that time, which is a newspaper for pure writing practice, and there is a line under the masthead that writes the four eye-catching characters of the registration, Yao Xueyu.
Because of my love for literature and my passion for writing since I was a child, I admired those literary stars, read their masterpieces, was influenced and infiltrated by literature, and once admired these big people.
Since then, whenever the teacher has sent the "Composition and Guidance" in his hand, he will be eager to read and learn. Must see, must read. The more I read, the more I saw, and Mr. Yao's name was also remembered.
In those years, it was only hearsay that Mr. Yao was a giant of Chinese literature and a great literary hero worthy of his name. Most people only know one, not the other. I only know that he is a writer, a great writer, an old writer, a famous writer. As everyone knows, he is still a proletarian fighter, like Lu Xun, who uses the pen and ink pen as a shooting dagger to aim at the revolutionary fighters who bravely attack the dark forces.
When Mr. Yao is mentioned, people often immediately think of "Li Zicheng", because she has become immortal. As if wu cheng'en would think of "Journey to the West" when he said it, and when he said "Dream of the Red Chamber", he would think of Cao Xueqin. The work and the name have become one, a combination of bone marrow and blood.
As adults, I learned that they were also different. Wu Cheng'en only left a "Journey to the West" for posterity, and Cao Xueqin's "Dream of the Red Chamber" was even more tearful and unfinished. Mr. Yao's works, on the other hand, are far more than one "Li Zicheng", he has a large number of popular novels such as "Poor Half a Cart of Wheat Straw", "Niu Quande and Carrots", "Long Night", "Rong Ma Love", "When the Spring Warm Blossoms" and so on, and has created a large number of emotional and timeless prose such as "The Fate of My Grandmother", "My Old Grandmother", "Sister-in-law", "Reunion", "Thunder Outside the Yanmen Pass", as well as a large number of new and old style poems, character biographies, reportage literature, and nearly one million words of aesthetic, historical, and literary treatises. He has been invited to visit France, Japan, Singapore for cultural exchanges, and his works are also very popular abroad, and the printing is also a reprint, a reprint, and there was a phenomenon of Luoyang paper being expensive.
For example, in the creation of "Li Zicheng", Yao Lao devoted half his life to leaving behind a brilliant work of more than three million words. With his lofty materialist view of history, the perspective of life in three points, the magnificent artistic structure, the ups and downs of the storyline, the vivid character image, and the popular and typical literary language, he reproduced the ever-changing and colorful social style of China in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties in a panoramic manner, and composed a heroic lament that was epicenter and resounded throughout the ages. The setting of each plot is a unique and ingenious three-dimensional picture. In inheriting traditions, learning from others, and pursuing the nationalization of literature, it has provided rich experience for China's literary cause and pushed the literary creation of contemporary Chinese historical themes to one new height after another.
Yao Lao's "Half a Car of Wheat Straw", with its fresh and vivid popular language and unique and plump character images, sensationalized the literary world and became one of the most influential literary works at that time. The advent of each work is not a uniform, one-line literary appearance, but a unique literary model that is completely unique and unique. To borrow a phrase from the Internet, it can only be understood, not spoken. It can only be imitated, not surpassed. This proverb, to the point, goes straight to the truth.
The representative work "Long Night" has left an epic image depiction of the tragic fate and spontaneous struggle of Chinese peasants with a unique sense of life, mellow local atmosphere and strong legendary color, and has become a historical witness in the history of modern literature in China that reflects the great changes in rural life in old China.
Yao Lao's works, I want to say too much, too much, too many to list. Not only is his work superior, but it has been sung and praised by generations of Chinese. His hometown feelings are also particularly strong, not forgetting Sangzi, not far from his neighbors. Once sold the property of his hometown, and donated all of it to his hometown for education; Once took a part of the small amount of writing fees to hold the Deng County "Spring Wind" Composition Award to water the new literary seedlings in his hometown; He once squeezed time out of his busy schedule, visited his hometown many times, offered advice, wrote letters and inscriptions, and sincerely hoped that his hometown could change more and more drastically; Once for the cultural construction of the hometown has greater improvement and change, spare no effort to put their valuable study, work, life, creation and other first-hand information, to the local preservation, in order to enhance the cultural status and cultural image of the hometown.
In my hometown, there is a saying that we should work hard and work hard to fight for it, just to leave the days of that acre and three-point field, no longer face the years of cultivation that has faced the loess soil with their backs to the sky for generations, and look forward to it, to get ahead, to take a step, to go out, the outside world is wonderful, and the outside world is wide, which is the belief and goal that most people in those eras have struggled for all their lives.
Yao Lao is really going out, but his heart is still here, always feel that he is in Cao Ying's heart in Han, there is a poem called "little little left home and the old man returned, the rural tone did not change the sideburns." This is a true portrayal of him.
Elder Yao, who was old in his old age, was still working tirelessly and never stopped. Sixty or seventy years of creation, the achievement of his legendary "snow time", three times a day, has begun his day of intense work. People who know him well say that there are too many things to do and what he wants to do, which can be described as "the old Ji Futuo, determined to be in a thousand miles; The martyrs are in their twilight years and their hearts are full of hearts." Just as the book says, live to be old, learn to be old, and write to be old. Elder Yao has always thought and done this all his life. Just as he named his study "Endless Fasting", there is no end to learning, endless thinking, and endless artistic pursuits. His lifelong admiration of selfless and day-to-day praise of his father, before his death 'marathon', behind the 'marathon', it can be said that "Luyang day and night Go to work hard, abandon the staff into the forest is also magnificent"!
As a realistic writer, Mr. Yao Xueyu has always stepped on the earth and breathed with the common destiny of his beloved motherland and people. The work is a writer's wings. With this pair of ideal wings, Yao Lao's name resounded all over the world, flew out of the country, and soared in the blue sky of the world field. For more than 70 years, Mr. Yao has unswervingly praised truth, goodness and beauty with full enthusiasm, and lashed out at falsehood, evil and ugliness.
Mr. Yao Xueyu has not only made remarkable achievements in literary creation that have attracted worldwide attention, but has held too many important positions. He has successively served as a member of the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the chairman of the Hubei Provincial Federation of Literature and Literature, a member of the All-China Federation of Literary and Literary Associations, a director of the China Writers Association, and a director of the China Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries.
Today, when we, the comers, gather together to discuss and learn yao Lao's literary spirit and literary beliefs, this is such an honor and a great thing. One by one, we are like devout Buddhists, worshipping, studying with an open mind, and immersing ourselves in research, and finally making this research meeting truly deserved, worthy of this trip, not worthy of this trip, and only then can it be regarded as a satisfactory account for Yao Lao and Yao Xue.
Taking advantage of the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hold "Yao Xue Yao Yan", I could not calm down for a moment in my heart, and said what I wanted to say and the reverence I wanted to express, in order to cheer for the success of the research association, cheering and cheering, which is a warm blood and passionate impulse of a literature lover.
