A Beautiful Picture of Contemporary Rural Life —— Reading Qi Yanling's Short Story Winter Solstice

After reading Qi Yanling's new work "Solstice in Winter" in one breath (the short story was published in the first issue of Tianjin Literature at 202 1), it seemed as if a beautiful picture of rural life was displayed in front of me, and it seemed as if I was listening to a faint pastoral song. The story told tastes like a cup of tea, mellow and delicious. If you drink it, you will be intoxicated by another glass of wine in Wan Ru. There is no doubt that this is an excellent short story that is memorable, thought-provoking and pleasing to the eye.

The Solstice of Winter is a meaningful and thought-provoking story. It's like telling the story of you and my next-door neighbor, and it's like telling a life that we yearn for and have experienced. It seems within reach, but it seems far away from us. It is a typical "this one" and an excellent realistic work that sees the big from the small. Intercept the unique life scene, and show the image of the life group under the background of the great era by individuals.

"In the sunny afternoon of winter solstice, the thin moon twisted her waist to pick up the dried millet in Huang Can, and her six-year-old son skipped to the moon. The warm sunshine climbs the face of the autumn moon and blooms a bright smile ... The days of the autumn moon are like strings of peppers hanging on the wall, thriving. " At the beginning of the novel, the prose style and poetic language presented us with a vivid life scene full of life interest. On the solstice of winter, in this special "solar term" which is cold but full of vitality and longing, a young woman and her lovely and naughty children are waiting for the master of this family to return with different thoughts. The story begins here.

We have to say that the scene chosen by the author is thoughtful. The author's narrative is unhurried, and his writing is sophisticated, which is quite a style of everyone.

Qiuyue is a kind, considerate, hardworking, virtuous and careful woman, and a good woman with the traditional virtues of China. She even knows the steps of her men. She blames the man who doesn't know how to love herself. "Autumn Moon smiled shyly, and my winter melon walked a little special, with heavy steps and a bang." In a short sentence, he vividly wrote the satisfaction, pride and desire of a rural young woman, all of which came from his man wax gourd. And the simple and honest and strong melon is also on the paper.

As a "second sister-in-law" who is in contrast with the moon, she introduces it by describing the soul of the moon. "The moon knows yisow is lying. Since the second brother didn't come back for the New Year for two years, he hasn't been sunburned in winter. " . Second sister-in-law is not bad, lazy, western-style, and doesn't care about second brother Especially in the past two years, she has been laughing at the women in the village ... a modern woman who loves vanity and values money over emotion has begun to lose the most precious image of rural women's innocence and virtue.

Next, the novel looks at the figure of a man climbing the high slope in front of the house through the autumn moon, depicting an urgent mood of missing the man to go home. Through her thoughts, I can't see the loss of men from a distance, preparing appetizers with smoked bacon that men like to eat, and describing the management of the family to the moon and love. You see how hard she works, her heart is full of men's preferences, as if men are all to him at this time. At the same time, by recalling what she and winter melon heard when they were drinking with their second brother outside-that is, the cold fire at the second brother's house and the aggressive questioning of the second brother's income and life outside, there was a sharp contrast. Here, the author tells the story of "Ju Sao" and "Wu Sao" (their men are also working outside the home, but have already returned) who can't wait to spread the story of loving their children, showing the sexual hunger of a rural left-behind woman. The moon didn't wait until it was supposed to go home to sit at the table and drink, which made women think a lot. At the moment, there is no news, and the line is busy. The moon fidgeted and almost panicked. "The moon has upset and panic to take out the phone to dial, the line is busy, she was surprised. The moon has some anxiety and panic in her heart. Stumbling out of the door, I walked under the tung tree on the front slope of the house and looked around for a long time. There is no wax gourd on the winding cement road. The moon has complained and scolded the melon, and the man was so angry that it was not a good thing. Later, I thought that the melon always kept his word ... "So since the melon promised to come back and keep its promise, why not? What happened?

At this point, the author changed his style and recalled some sweet and blushing video calls with wax gourd. The flirting of a hungry couple who had not met for a long time was vividly presented to the readers. "Moon heart jump, face flushed bright red, scolded 1, Chen was speechless, at the moment, there is a feeling of swelling in the chest, thick warm spring rushing, crashing into the body, and then her head-array dizziness. She threw the mobile phone video on the bed, and tears overflowed happily. After the calm, I cried foul for the left-behind women in the village, and my arms were the same as before, and I couldn't control myself ... "This description vividly shows the helplessness and desire of a left-behind young woman, and it also conforms to the above questions about left-behind women.

At this time, readers are full of joy for the happiness of the happy couple, but also thinking about the problems of left-behind women and worrying about the autumn moon. What did this melon do? A bad feeling appeared in our hearts. At this time, the author solved the mystery. It turns out that my second brother can't sleep because of depression. He drank wine, fell under the scaffolding on the construction site and was injured. This kind of thing happens around us almost every day, which is also the biggest pain for migrant workers. Many people go out to work happily and come back as urns. We always accuse them of lack of safety awareness, but when have we ever paid attention to their thoughts and hearts? They are not tools, but flesh and blood people. Not every man has the luck of wax gourd. Seeing this, readers can't help but think of the moon while they are relieved. At this time, the author made another vivid stroke, adding a stroke to his beautiful image.

"You dead guy, you let your second brother had an accident. I won't spare you when you come back! "

"Oh, I don't care if I let my second brother suffer like this."

The word Moon seems unreasonable, even unreasonable, but it is actually the biggest reason. This is a clever woman. It is her instinct to be kind to her man. Once something happened to her relatives, she showed her responsibility and responsibility. The next thing, whether it was her comfort or persuasion, made us pay tribute to this seemingly weak woman.

Art comes from life and is higher than life. Without a deep foundation of life and passion and love for life, it is impossible to write such stories and novels. Modern people are impetuous and always live under utilitarian desires. To put it bluntly, a lot of reading things that are popular on the Internet now can only be called word garbage. What it's like to put real literature aside. Back in the 1980s and 1990s, it was the best moment of literature. People write purely and sing purely. Born in the late 1960s, Yan was one of the "literary youths" in the 1980s. At that time, the admiration for literature was just like the attitude of young people to stars now. However, literature is a hard undertaking after all. Under the impact of the economic tide, some people became celebrities, some went into business, and some gave up their original dreams. Only a few people are trying to stick to it, and Yan is a minority.

Mr. Yanling was born in the countryside, studied medicine, did business and loved literature, which is somewhat similar to our literary tutor, Mr. Lu Xun. He likes reading and thinking, and has never stopped for decades. Yanling is also a diligent person, a person who is full of love for the countryside and crazy about the fragrance of the soil. Don't forget, there will be consequences Half a century of infatuation has made his creation mature day by day. Chairman of Xiangtan Writers Association for two consecutive years. Although he had many affairs, he never stopped writing and reading. He is a witness and witness to the rural changes in the past half century. Since 1980s, China began to implement economic system reform, and the traditional rural world began to be turbulent and noisy. Farmers' land consciousness has also undergone profound changes-from attachment to escape. They broke free from the bondage of land and pushed open the door of urban-rural isolation with their shoulders. The flow of migrant workers in Xinxiang is bound to have a great impact on today's rural society, which is rapidly and profoundly changing the traditional farming civilization. The great changes of migrant workers entering cities have also produced many social problems.
