Liang Shengren The day before yesterday
The reason why she is a great writer is because her works have not only been published in many large domestic journals, but also won heavyweight honors such as the "Zhao Shuli Literature Award" and the "Long March Literary and Art Award". I have read some of her works, been deeply moved, and recently, I was touched by one of her book reviews.
She is the famous writer of Shanxi Province - Jiang Shu.
Today, I would like to share with you her book review published in Shanxi Daily, Lvliang Daily and other newspapers and periodicals.
I can't remember when I met Teacher Wu Yong, I can't remember which friend introduced me, and I can't remember how many years I've been dating. Except for one or two intersections in the workplace, it seems that there is only one private meal. However, it does not affect becoming friends with him.
He became familiar with Wu Yong after he went to Hunyuan Wenjiazhuang to help the poor. Because he is a WeChat friend, he can always see the dynamics of his circle of friends. In recent years, many familiar friends around have become cadres stationed in villages, and these ordinary urban people eat and live in the countryside at once, and naturally there will be many unaccustomed. For example, my familiar friend Anhao, who is a literary and artistic woman with an exquisite life and a petty bourgeoisie, even if she drinks a bowl of corn batter, she must use her exclusive porcelain bowl, and then put it on an exclusive wooden tray, use an exclusive spoon, and sit by the window to complete the ritual sense of belonging to a bowl of rice. She was a person who had never lived in the countryside, but she volunteered to take up the post of deputy township chief of a township. I remember the first day she arrived at her destination, where there was only a simple bed in the empty room, and there was no heating. Many people advised her to give up, but she not only persevered, but also solidly integrated herself into that land, and after the end of poverty alleviation, she quietly sneaked back to the place where she had worked for two years many times to experience the temperature spilled there; and two of my colleagues, Chen Limin and Yu Jinfang of the Party Periodicals Of the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee of the Communist Party of China, became village cadres in a village in my hometown of Wuxiang County, and the best gift I gave them when I returned to my hometown was to invite them to my station for a hot bath; and some writers and friends who usually took pens spent several years in the countryside. Not only can you sit indifferently in Kangtou like any villager and quickly pull off a bowl of noodles, but also go deeper into the ditches and ridges of the countryside and write a shocking masterpiece.
As people who were born and lived in the countryside, it is very touching to watch these poverty alleviation cadres take root in the countryside and do things in different ways every day. As a writer, during his time, he also learned about and wrote about some people and things that helped the poor many times, such as Li Fei, the former party secretary of Qinyuan Chishiqiao Township, who fell on the road to poverty alleviation, such as Han Yongzheng, the first secretary of Hebei Village, Tianchidian Township, Loufu County, who used a pair of skillful hands to pave a well-off avenue, such as Feng Yi, who was beaten by villagers on the first day of entering the village. How many times have you thought that if you change me, will you be able to eat these sufferings? Can you still persevere after setbacks? More importantly, what can I do for that land?
Or, what should the real way of poverty alleviation look like? I think most people should still do things for the villagers in a down-to-earth manner.
For example, Wu Yong, a photographer who works for the Shanxi Provincial Federation of Literature and Literature. Since April 8, 2019, Wenjiazhuang Village, Caicun Town, Hunyuan County, has been used as a new "battlefield" for work. Not many people know that this is the fifth time he has helped the poor since he joined the work. Wenjiazhuang is the place where he just finished two years of poverty alleviation in 2015. Perhaps even the people of Wenjiazhuang did not expect that after two years he would come back again.
He was 57 years old. Why bother, many people think this way, say this too. However, he resolutely returned to this border area and decided to use poverty alleviation to end his working career.
I may be able to imagine Wu Yong's mood when he returned to Wenjiazhuang for the second time, familiar and strange; warm, but cold. It was early spring 2019, but "the spring was cold, the bone-chilling cold, and it was cold in the storm jacket." "Yes, this is the record of his first day, and it is also the mood of the first day. Hunyuan is located in the north of Shanxi, and spring is always late when summer arrives elsewhere.
A single bed, a chair, and a table set up his "home" where he lived and worked in Wenjiazhuang. "When I got up in the morning to take medicine, I found that the water poured late had actually frozen!"
There is really a trace of sadness that the wind is cold and easy to cold, especially a picture of him standing in the wind and snow digging a well after 20 days of stationing, which is extremely touching. Of course, Wu Yong is not the tragic character I want to create, and this is not his original intention to return to Wenjiazhuang. The first thing he did when he entered the village was to find the village secretary by car and quickly start the work plan of that year.
He also used the professional sensitivity of photographers to use the circle of friends as a diary to record daily moments with the lens.
Wu Yong should not have thought of or planned, and the circle of friends who have been helping the poor for two years can become a book. Nowadays, reading, one is real, the second is warmth, and the third is art.
Real content
Digging wells, renovating old theaters, renovating dangerous houses, relocating love supermarkets, helping villagers sell corn... Wu Yong's poverty alleviation work began in full swing in April. On April 29, the 21st day of entering the village, he helped the villagers sell more than 200,000 kilograms of stranded corn under the leadership of Guo Jian, chairman of the Provincial Federation of Literature and Literature, and with the help of Shanxi Traffic Radio.
"In the morning, Zhu Xiuying, a poor household, came to me and said that he needed video materials at home to apply for a minimum guarantee in the town, and we immediately went to the door to shoot, shooting three times in a row until we were satisfied. Poor households let us do what we do. ”
"In the afternoon, villager Liu Baogui came to visit and said that someone had dumped garbage on the road in front of his house, and when it rained, the water would flood the root of the wall of his house, so let us deal with it immediately, otherwise we would build a wall to block the road, and we were very emotional."
"This afternoon help poor household Fan Yin hoe corn. Fan Yin, 70 years old, planted 10 acres of corn. ”
"Wenjiazhuang took precautions to build a flood control embankment in the north of the village."
Early this morning, Zhao Yuanyou, an 81-year-old retired teacher, came to reflect on two problems: one was that his son did not become a poor household because his family had a car; the other was because of insufficient funds, and the path in front of his house could not be paved with cement for the time being. Painstakingly did a morning of work, called out dozens of 'uncles', and finally left, before leaving the next sentence, 'Come back tomorrow morning!' Come every day! ’”
Early in the morning, Yang Ailian, a 75-year-old poor household, came to visit, and her wife Gao Shang was angry and clamored to move her hukou back to her hometown, Shenxi Village. In fact, the 'old child' is like a child, Wang Hong and I persuaded her bitterly in the morning, and finally agreed to help her beat up her wife, and the old man showed a smile. ”
Looking at Wu Yong's circle of friends, I want to cry for a while, and I want to laugh for a while. What kind of softness is it to grind a person into this frivolous time?
"Wenjiazhuang, the existing arable land of 4969 acres, 615 households, 1723 people. There are 588 people in 237 poor households. This is the record of Wu Yong's short stay in the village, and it is also a scale in the heart of his big parent, who wants to spend two years to ensure that the "family" eats well, dresses well, lives well, and lets every member live in harmony.
Therefore, he and his team members often have to start work at six o'clock in the morning and end late at night, and even have to "open 7 days a week, 24 hours a day" at all times.
The clouds above Wenjiazhuang, the hunyuan cool powder of The jianye family's daughter-in-law, the Wenchang family's sheep gave birth to two lambs, and the Wenlai Xi family's cattle laid a calf, from spring to winter, and then from winter to spring, he was happy with the happiness of the villagers, happy with the happiness of the villagers.
On the surface, the "east family in, the west family out" of the ordinary and undisturbed, but secretly must be riveted, winding up, increasing horsepower, so that "one late night, I was busy with work and ready to sleep, suddenly sweaty, heart palpitations, 15 years of diabetes history told me - low blood sugar!" I reluctantly opened the door and climbed into the corridor, and stuffed the dessert of Yang Dean of the Datong Jin Theater into my mouth, but Wang Hong and Jianming, who heard the noise, were not shallow. ”
After experiencing such dangers, Wu Yong was not afraid, and said loudly, "As the leader and first secretary of the poverty alleviation team, I am always ready to contribute everything to the fight against poverty!" ”
Warm undertone
"The team members have worked too hard for a while, the captain personally cooked at noon today, and made an authentic bitter buckwheat noodle rubbing bucket for everyone, it was so fragrant!"
"It's raining heavily tonight, I can't go out to buy vegetables, grab a handful of elm money in the yard, mix some noodles, and eat rotten seeds."
"Today is the 50th birthday of Wang Hong, a member of the poverty alleviation team, and after finishing work in the evening, we must give him a bowl of longevity noodles."
"The 'Ten Zeros' 100-day offensive action has begun, in order to ensure everyone's physical fitness, at noon today we must wipe the whole pot of miscellaneous noodles, and Jianming stir-fry eggs, leeks, and shallots."
Despite the bitterness and tiredness, Wu Yong's circle of friends is filled with harmony and warmth. In the snow, in the rain, in the wind, he and the team members can always love each other, snuggle with each other, support each other, and use love and skillful hands to adjust the simple days into a stunning color.
Cohesion can produce results. Unity is great strength.
As the deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Caicun Town and the leader of the poverty alleviation work team, Wu Yong always reflects his own responsibilities, he shows himself, shows the achievements and hardships of his teammates, and also records every leader and friend who visits and comforts every door-to-door, with a grateful mood.
A photo of Wu Yong sewing clothes by himself is believed to move many people. The figure sitting alone under the lamp looked at his mother, who was sitting alone on the kangtou of Lü Liang's hometown.
I remember a banquet, Tu Xiangdong, vice chairman of the Shanxi Provincial Federation of Literature and Literature, said that it should be the 2019 Dragon Boat Festival, when Wu Yong, who was busy with work, drove more than 300 kilometers back to his hometown overnight to visit his mother, he found that because the relatives he took care of went out, the 80-year-old man could not operate the remote control, and could only sit alone in front of the TV and sit in the dim Kang hair. Lonely, desolate... This scene made this five-foot boy can't help but burst out of his eyes with tears in his eyes, running to the courtyard, while smoking his own mouth, while cursing himself for not filial piety.
To say that Wu Yong's biggest concern for poverty alleviation for more than 700 days is the old mother. Wu Yong was the only son in the family, and he had thought of taking his mother to Wenjiazhuang, but he had no choice but to give up if the conditions did not allow it. People who know it know that Wu Yong is a great filial piety. Therefore, whenever you go home on holidays, the first thing you do is to spend time with your mother. His mother's birthdays, travels, and trivialities are scattered in his circle of friends.
Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both. When there is a contradiction between a big country and a small family, Wu Yong uses an ordinary way to deduce the actions of an ordinary person.
The presentation of art
After all, Wu Yong is a photographer, and using photography to record and help alleviate poverty has become his unique way.
In order to help the transformation of dangerous houses in the township, he purchased drone equipment at his own expense of more than 20,000 yuan and took accurate aerial photos with team members. Daily poverty alleviation, family portraits of villagers, photos of my hometown and my people... Mobile phones, cameras, drones, he used colorful images to record the whole picture of Wenjiazhuang up to the eighty-year-old man, down to the children who learned to speak. A simple face and a pure smile make wenjiazhuang in the north of Saibei ripple in the spring breeze from time to time.
As a staff member of the Provincial Federation of Literature and Literature, Wu Yong naturally has no shortage of artists around him. Groups of artists and friends brought artworks into Wenjiazhuang, the yanglian on the archway, the inscriptions of the theater, the calendars of the villagers' homes... Coupled with the opera on the stage, the music and art of the theater, and the song and dance of the square, the remote Wenjiazhuang is full of vitality and is filled with cultural atmosphere.
In Wenjiazhuang, Wu Yong's expression is documentary and artistic. However, these ordinary and trivial gatherings are not only the flow records of a poverty alleviation worker for more than 700 days, but also the struggle process of a person, but also the change of a village.
The real martial courage, in a real way, presents a real Wenjiazhuang. From the expression, I don't know whether it is appropriate to say "Wenjiazhuang of Wuyong" or "Wuyong of Wenjiazhuang".
No matter what, I can't suppress an idea in my mind, go to Wenjiazhuang to see.
