Reading "The Book of Serving Mothers" has a feeling
Borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, the beginning of Nongyin.
With sincerity as respect, the new book celebrates the New Year, and naturally there are many weathers, and in my mind is the collection of essays written by Mr. Wang Xiyi, "The Book of Serving Mothers"! Respectfully, please correct me, I understand in my heart, not my modesty, there is sincere trepidation, after all, the author is more than sixty years old, the first son is old, the text has his full of feelings and feelings and the accumulation of life in all aspects, and he cherishes the literary dream that has not been fulfilled for decades.
As he confessed in the text: "Retired, "today to be generous", from the heart to do not exceed the rules. Doing what you love to do is a good state of life. He also said: "Now that I am writing prose for the first time, it is inevitable that I will be a little rusty." This is not a humble word, but the author's honesty and sincerity in the face of life, in the face of his own, which runs through the seventeen thousand words of the book. Without this most basic attitude, it is impossible to complete the "construction of prose" with words.
I remember that the great essayist Mr. Sun Li had a sentence, someone asked him what is prose (referring to the definition of prose style)? He said: "Old age style". It does not mean that you can only write prose in old age, but that your experience, life observation and long-term accumulation, including knowledge and insight, especially the ability to think about life.
Mr. Wang Xiyi said in the afterword: "I have always admired Liang Shiqiu, Zhang Zhongxing, Yang Dai, Wang Zengqi, Han Shishan and other literary masters, liked their writing, and appreciated their writing style. These words confirmed the words of Old Mr. Sun Li. Liang Shiqiu said in the War of Resistance, I did what I should do, fighting with a pen. Zhang Zhongxing closed the cowshed for many years at the May Seventh Cadre School, but did not write a single word of personal grievances in his scattering. Yang Dai was escorted to the stage by the students who criticized her, and she pressed her head and unceremoniously shaved her yin and yang head to show local punishment. But the sincerity shown in her cadre school notes, the average writer does not have the courage and self-confidence to complain about their own suffering and revenge. She didn't. As for Mr. Wang Zengqi and Mr. Han Shishan, they each have their own brilliance... Sorry to say, not off topic.
Fortunately, I was all dipped in the light of the New Year's Day unit according to my duty, and I had the whole time to read. The book "The Book of Serving Mothers" was placed on the table, and it was casually read according to personal habits. The preface is the thoughts and thoughts of the prefacer, and the scale of the text is different, and the tendency is very different from nature. Personally, I think that guizuo is divided into three parts: one is nostalgia and affection; the other is the travelogue expo; and the third is event perception. Looking at the whole text, there are three characteristics: 1, the writing is simple and not deliberately carved; 2, the narrative is simple, and the critical is near; 3, the text is like its person, and it is urgent and moderate. Therefore, adhere to moderation, patience in parental reasoning, and talk in plainness...
The article I am interested in belongs to my own opinion, not necessarily correct, and I dare not peek at the whole leopard. Nor is it necessary that the examples given are brilliant. But I also have to be bold, raise my hand and vote in favor of Reflections on the Epidemic. The other is the first "Mother's Tale". As a work of pressure, it can be seen from the text that the author does not stick to the details, but also does not let go of the proper preparation, but can patiently present the trivialities in life, especially in the difficulty of "no filial piety before the bed of the hundred days". What is valuable is that the author frankly acknowledges that the younger brothers usually care more for their parents than themselves, and do not shy away from "I" apologizing to my father and my mother at bed for the first time. The author's pen that stands up to the picture truly presents the difficult feelings in "triviality": shallow guilt. However, the author did not show "filial piety" because of care, and if this is the case, the article will be greatly reduced and the color will be completely lost. Then it entered a dead hole that could not come out: either too much ink and praised the filial piety of the mother and the virtuous son; or too little ink and a little improper detail. Doing all the labor of the Son of Man himself is not enough to worry about in front of his parents. The success of this article lies in what to impress "me" and infect "the reader's me", which is a difficult point that the author should write, but also the main points and points. The writing can only be silent, naturally telling the story, not deliberately throwing out an unadorned "bag", and can be opened and shaken out from the beginning layer by layer, so that the "package" can be landed on the ground. This is a difficulty that tests the author's ability and strength. Because you do not control the subject matter well, there will be: a little gold into a stone, a self-defeating failure, so that you can not achieve the artistic effect of doing more with less, which is the most fatal.
"The Tale of the Mother" gave me an expectation, a reason for writing, at least what I was worried about did not happen. The reason is as follows, the penultimate natural paragraph of "The Mother-Child Love of the Mother": "The barber is a mute, and he carefully cuts his mother's hair." I asked him how much? He held out a hand, $5. I handed him a $10 ticket, and my mother blocked the search for money. When I got out, my mother said to me, "He's a troublemaker." It is not easy to earn money with hard work! ”
With this detail, only a few words can highlight the light of an old man's inner world. Enough is enough! Because it is not the usual saying that opening a "kind", closing a mouth a "kindness", etc., is actually an illusion of helplessness.
So far, I have no right, only expectations, such as the future author's heart is full of heart, and the great works are continuous, which is the congratulations I look forward to. However, when borrowing the unity to start again, I think that with "prose" to say things, with the title of "prose", we may wish to try how to make the text more tense, and the art of thought more insightful. If you have attained the Tao and learned, only the text has no fixed law, and if the reader can benefit from it, wouldn't he be happy?! I sincerely wish the author, Mr. Wang Xiyi, a new chapter in his heart!
