Editor's Note:
The "Literary Shaanxi Army" is an important force in the Chinese literary circle, influencing the writing and reading of literary youth. The main writer of this week's "Five Days Talk" is a post-90s generation, who grew up in this land since childhood, enriching his own life feelings with the unique historical pictures and life scenes in the works of Northwest writers, and telling the great northwest fireworks and warm friendship in his image.
Chen Yan has worked in the grass-roots academies in Shaanxi for many years, and the spirit of opera has long been melted into his blood and become an inseparable part of life. The creation of a series of dramas such as "Late Blooming Rose", "The Tree Moves West", and "Xijing Story" makes him unfinished, and in addition to the novel "Loading the Stage", he also presents us with a rich and colorful epic masterpiece "Protagonist". Inside and outside the play, in order to compete for the protagonist's grievances, in order to become famous and wrist-bound, all kinds of heartache. The inspirational life of the shepherd baby from the countryside of southern Shaanxi is certainly precious, but the most memorable thing for me is the deep love between mother and child, and what I can feel is that bright red heart, beating hot.
"Because I promise you now, I will always be with you, hand in hand or far away, standing next to you or in your heart, face to face or as a memory, open your eyes and you will see, no matter whether you are facing happiness or suffering, I will always be your parents." 」 With the melody, I think back to the before and after of "The Protagonist". In the novel, Yi Qin'e and Liu Hongbing have a stupid son Liu Yi, Yi Qin'e thinks in her heart that there will be a miracle, does not believe in the judgment of any doctor, and works tirelessly from Baotou, Harbin, all the way to Guangzhou in the south, whether it is a big hospital or a folk "master of disability", as long as there is a glimmer of hope, she will do her best, even if she can no longer afford such a bottomless pit of seeking medical treatment, she is still willing.
As soon as there is time to remember Qin'e, she will lead her son to walk, teach her son to call her mother, and her son will also rely on being with his mother. "This Liu Yi is a night owl, and people are crazy." In particular, I haven't slept with my mother for a long time, and I can't sleep all night with excitement at night. The small room arranged for him will not go to death. ”
Liu Yi is usually with his grandmother, the child also thinks of his mother, when he looks at the balcony on the sixth floor, the blurred figure thinks that he saw his mother, he jumped up excitedly, so he planted it from the sixth floor. After learning the news, Yi Qin'e only shed tears and only cursed people, and when she heard the news that Liu Yi had never been rescued again, she cried and fainted. When he slowed down, he kept shouting, save him again, please save him again...
When reading these passages and these sentences, the tears have long been out of control, this is the most pure and selfless love of parents for their children, without asking for anything in return. Every child's growth is inseparable from their parents, and it is on their shoulders that they have become more and more mature today. Unfortunately, too many times I get used to it, and I take it for granted. The rebellion of youth has scarred them, and only when they leave their hometown and parents do they understand their difficulties.
Literary and artistic creation should strive to let life speak, not the author himself to stand up and say. The author simply uses a basket to fit them as they are. Chen Yan said.
What is the protagonist, the author's answer makes people surprised by the opening of the shooting case, he said, one is that there is indeed a talent for gestapo art, "cone in the bag", sharp incomparable, its sharpness is self-explanatory; the second is that people can eat and suffer, practice "amazing art", and become "people on top"; the third is those who seek affection and drill their eyes, bend and turn around, and "ascend to a high call" and occasionally show their glory. If all three things are occupied, they will be prepared for heaven, time, place, and man. There are both natural materials, and acquired construction and breeding, and then there are strong people who pull hard and pull hard, and many bracelets to help them, how can they not be made by people?
When talking about the relationship between the protagonist and the supporting characters, he said that this relationship, which is everywhere in life, sometimes forms a huge symbol, and it is interesting for everyone to watch. We are the masters of our own destiny, but we can never control our entire destiny, which is the paradox and impermanence that literature and drama want to explore.
On and off the stage, the red fire collapses, the prosperity and silence, not only to have the spirit of the protagonist, but also to be reduced to a supporting role, and even to install the stage, pull the curtain, pick up the field and become unfazed. But no matter what the situation, the work of true feelings and dedication is the most moving chapter, the acting is the most convincing, and the protagonist is just a name.
