On the afternoon of July 15th, the first day of the 30th National Book Fair, Liang Xiaosheng, a famous contemporary writer, winner of the Mao Dun Literature Award and representative figure of "Zhiqing Literature", released his latest book "My Growing Troubles" and held a seminar on his works at Shandong Education Publishing House.
Liang Xiaosheng is a rich and accomplished writer with strong humanistic feelings and social responsibilities, and in recent years he has paid special attention to the education of young people, paying special attention to the "edutainment" function of children's books. "My Growing Pains" is an autobiographical coming-of-age novel created by Liang Xiaosheng for young readers. The novel continues the bloodline temperament of "The World", which won the Mao Dun Literature Prize, and tells the story of the author Liang Xiaosheng's "growing pains" from childhood to adolescence.
He wants to use this book to tell readers that growth is a process of continuous self-correction, but also a process of gradually understanding responsibility, and this process is inseparable from the support of family affection, friendship and other kinds of love. The words of this book convey the warmth of the world, and carry forward the tradition of realism and the spirit of idealism. The many characters described in the book are the prototypes of the characters in "The World of Man". "My Growing Pains" contains rich and full of great feelings in the world, which can be said to be a juvenile version of "The World of Man".
The experts and scholars who participated in the seminar analyzed and discussed Liang Xiaosheng's new work "My Growing Pains". Children's literature writer Mijika said she read the book twice. When I watched it for the first time, Mijika had a lot of episodes that she couldn't accept, choked up many times, and got goosebumps, "This was really a childhood full of suffering." "And when she looked at it a second time, she found that those stories were no longer suffering, but full of warmth and glory." Whenever the protagonist appears to be suffering, a beam of light shines on him overhead. After suffering, there will be a double light. Excellent children's literature can lead readers out of suffering, harvest warmth and hope. ”
Wadang, director of the Creative Writing Institute of the Zhang Wei Literary Research Institute at Ludong University, regards the book as a "juvenile version of "Alive". He commented that "My Growing Troubles" has the Chinese style of "Old Things in the South of the City", the desolate and rough northern China in "The Legend of Hulan River", the historical solemnity of "Lu Gang Yan Zhi", and the youthful radiance of "Fanghua". "It writes about suffering, confronts suffering, is not sensational, is not pretentious, believes in the light of humanity and is full of hope. The book has a civilian spirit and youthful spirit, which is rarely seen in contemporary literature. ”
Zhang Kewen, general manager of Anhui Xinhua Media Co., Ltd., said that writing youth books with liang Xiaosheng's literary status can be said to be "everyone's small book", but he uses pure narrative to convey pure emotions and impress readers. "For these children who have not experienced hardships and setbacks, it is very worth seeing, they can experience the experience of their parents and grandparents."
Fang Weiping, a professor at Zhejiang Normal University, analyzes this new work from the author's writing tradition. He said that the personal experience and autobiography of Liang Xiaosheng's works can be felt in his early creation of "Zhiqing". Fang Weiping also compared the childhood autobiographies of foreign writers, such as Gorky's "Childhood" and brazilian writer José Mauro de Vasconselos's "My Dear Sweet Orange Tree", neither of them wrote like Liang Xiaosheng who can really write from the perspective of a child.
Chang Qing, president of Sichuan Children's Publishing House, commented that "My Growing Pains" has the characteristics of combining prose and fiction. "The book can be read as a single piece like prose, but it has a large pattern of novels when strung together.
