On the evening of "World Book Day" on April 23, the "2020 China Good Book" ceremony was broadcast on the CCTV-10 CCTV Science and Education Channel and CCTV-1 CCTV Comprehensive Channel of CCTV. 33 kinds of 2020 "China Good Books" and 18 shortlisted books have all been announced. The 107-year-old Ma Zhitu Ma Lao's "novel sealing" work "Night Tan Continuation" is on the list! Ma Lao specially recorded a video about his creative process and his feelings about Sichuan dialect novels.
In 1982, Wei Junyi, then editor-in-chief of the People's Literature Publishing House, invited Ma Zhitu to create a creation, recording in writing that he had "personally experienced or seen and heard many strange people and strange things", and finally contributed to the publication of "Ten Records of Ye Tan", which was printed in 200,000 copies in early 1983. Later, in 2010, the chapter "The Tale of the Thief" in Ma Zhitu's novel "Ten Tales of night tan" was adapted into the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" and became widely known.
In June 2020, Ma Zhitu's novel "Ye Tan Continuation", which is a sequel to the "Ten Records of Ye Tan" published by the People's Literature Publishing House in 1983, is a content for more than ten section members in Sichuan to spend their spare time, gather together in their residences, drink tea and gossip, and swing the dragon gate array to spend the night. "The Continuation of the Night Tan" is still based on the dialect and native language unique to Sichuanese, the humorous and witty style of talk, the slang folk style of Sichuan and the anecdotes of thousands of strange things.
On October 11, 2020, literary critics from outside the province, including Li Jingze, He Xiangyang, Shi Zhanjun, Li Fang, Xie Youshun, Pan Kaixiong, and other literary critics and writers from outside the province, as well as Li Mingquan, Li Yi, and Liang Pingping, discussed Ma Zhitu's covered work "The Continuation of Ye Tan", and analyzed the literary achievements, characteristics and significance of Ma Lao's extraordinary legend from the perspective of their respective reading and appreciation. Zang Yongqing, president of the People's Literature Publishing House, the publisher of "Ye Tan", and Pan Kaixiong, vice president of China Publishing Group and literary critic, spoke highly of Ma Lao's works from the perspective of publishing and dissemination.
At the seminar, He Xiangyang, director of the Creative Research Department of the China Writers Association and a literary critic, talked about the special features of this work from three aspects. The first is that the writer himself is downplayed in "The Continuation of the Night Tan", and through more civilian storytelling, the story is handed over to the folk storyteller. In fact, this has also been seen in some world classic literature. The second is the method of storytelling. "This is the method we are very familiar with, it is a more objective narrative, the narrator and the listener roles are interchanged, more ordinary and more comfortable, and the indoctrination function is included in the narrative, and the big things and small things come slowly." Third, there are the people in the story. In the story, we see a lot of characters, but they are distilled out of people of temperament, people of righteousness, and people of affection. We see that all storytellers have an original heart, and the essence of traditional ethical culture is presented in the story. ”
