——Chen Zexin's "Joke"

I couldn't wait to read Chen Ze's novel "Joke" in one breath, and I had a lot of feelings. I always wanted to write a paragraph of text and exchange feelings with Chen Ze after reading, but I did not write for a long time.

Chen Ze, the author of the novel "Joke", is not only a good teacher and friend, but also my former leader, colleague, and fellow countryman. As Gansu people, we all start from the loess slopes of the Great Northwest and go all the way to the east or south, just as sincere and bold. The difference is that Chen Ze has the erudition and versatility that I lament. The text is like his person, Chen Ze is low-key, introverted and profound, and the words in his pen are also like Si, revealing the depth that ordinary people do not have between the lines. I admire Chen Ze's erudition and the profundity of his works from the bones, and in the years of working with Chen Ze, I was deeply impressed by the atmosphere and foresight in his bones. A person's work is the author's dialogue with himself and even with the world, how he sees the world, you will see the clues from it.

Based on this, I can't wait to read this novel in one breath, I wanted to write some words such as reading after reading it earlier, but I didn't know how to write it after covering up, which is like the confession before love, both excited and timid in the depths of my heart, or afraid of messing up due to my lack of preparation.

But in the end, I still can't hold back, and I have to talk about my feelings.

The long novel "Joke", which seems to be carelessly wrapped around the emotional entanglement of the protagonist Xiaodong, unfolds all the way to the lyrics, in fact, it completely presents the background of this era, the individual and society, and the ordinary public who are constantly in chaos with life are in the picture of social change.

Chen Ze with great patience, sketched the little character Lu Xiaodong's emotional entanglement and career development of the parents short, only with a deep insight into the society for life, can we dismantle and present the delicate relationship between individuals and social changes in this great era, through the intrusion of different emotions, starting from the subtleties of life, revealing the truth under the surface of life. In this era, the changes in society are vividly expressed. Lu Xiaodong is you, me, or every ordinary strivers in this great era situation, working hard in real life, struggling, tangled, trying to escape from the cage of life, but they can not do without this cage, happy with his happiness, painful his pain, Lu Xiaodong's every unexpected emotional intrusion, is the change of the times, is the dense inflection of life.

"Joke" has no grand narrative, nor the paving of moral kidnapping, it tells about ordinary people, ordinary life, they have the true feelings and good intentions in human nature, but also have the falsehood and greed in human nature, there is no "black and white" judgment, as Chen Ze said, "Good is not as good as a saint, bad is not as bad as a bad person", everyone is driven by desire, chasing and struggling, everything is so fresh, so real, so natural.

Start small, but the storyline is intricate, and you can feel the complex human taste, which has you, me, and him, and it represents the tiny dust world. "Joke" through the little character Lu Xiaodong because of a joke shop between friends, since then life and work into a new social circle, in the face of the red dust world, workplace temptations, a series of jokes inadvertently broke into it, and several beautiful people's emotional entanglement throughout the text, reflecting the world.
