Following last year's long-form reportage "The Good People of China Under the Ridge of The Black Bird" was selected as one of the "100 Excellent Red Literary and Art Works in Guangdong in the Centenary of the Founding of the Party", Huizhou female writer Liu Mingxia's reportage collection "Lingnan Has West Lake" was published by Guangming Daily Publishing House. The whole book is 300,000 words, and it concentrates on more than 20 reportage works created by the author in recent years.
Liu Mingxia has always been known for being good at observing and observing reality from a woman's point of view and using a variety of arts. As a writer, painter, journalist, editor of a supplementary magazine, plus a literary magazine editor with a variety of identities, it is very advantageous to write reportage, both the sensitivity of a journalist, and the emotions and thoughts of writers and artists, and some of her works are also included in her paintings.
In Liu Mingxia's view, literature in addition to the function of aesthetics, but also has the function of memory, historians can provide the testimony as a document to preserve, then the writer also has another way of recording.
The works included in this collection of literature in this report are Liu Mingxia's practice of wearing high heels and hot wheels under her feet for more than 20 years, going deep into the grassroots frontline, reflecting the big times by writing ordinary people, especially paying attention to reflecting the fate of individuals.
Liu Mingxia pays attention to the process of urban civilization in Huizhou, the protection of ethnic and folk culture, and the actual record of the ecological environment of China's Turtle Bay Conservation Area, and has written about influential figures in Huizhou, such as Li Dongsheng, president of TCL, roast goose boy, female warrior who has experienced the storms of war, widow of xiaoxingshan battle hero, famous literary artist of Huizhou, etc.; she has also written many small characters, such as national labor model dim sum artists, rural left-behind women, demobilized military cadres who choose their own jobs, and young lychee growers in small towns. Liu Mingxia erected a monument to the ordinary laborers who worked silently in this land, depicting their spiritual pictures, recording the emotional changes, emotional ups and downs, and ideological contradictions when they had dialogues with them at a certain time and place and when they "clashed" psychologically.
