Reading Notes on "Qian Feng Ji" (1)

I have read more than half of Mr. Xu Huaizhong's "The Story of the Wind". This work, which won the 10th Mao Dun Literature Award, praises love in detail, praises heroism with great righteousness, and is unbearable to look back on. It hurts humanity. This is the deepest memory this book gave me.

The protagonist of the novel, Wang Keyuo, is a progressive young woman from Peiping. She is said to be progressive because she has participated in and devoted herself to the proletarian revolutionary cause without hesitation. Wang Keyu is the embodiment of beauty, rich connotation, sincerity and justice. In this novel, the author uses a large number of detailed stories to describe this grassroots literary and art worker in the army during the war years to support everything about this character. Firstly, I am afraid of hardship, secondly, I am afraid of being tired, and thirdly, I am not afraid of other people’s rumors. It is full of visual sense. Another protagonist in the novel is Brigadier Qi Jing, an intellectual who devoted himself to military service and a revolutionary general who stepped into military command step by step by being down-to-earth. He has vision, talent, and high attainments in art.

Mr. Xu, when describing their love story, seems to be magnifying and minimizing. To say amplification means that their love can withstand time and the baptism of war. Let's talk about it in a small way, but focus on describing Brigadier Qi Jing's admiration and suspicion of Wang Keyu. Admiration, it can be said, is the admiration for Wang Keyu's talented temperament and beautiful appearance. The second is to pay attention to Wang Keyu's growth, care about details, and understand and communicate ideologically. In terms of details, because Wang Keyu had flat feet and had difficulty marching, he used his "Tan Zao" to take care of her. Wang Keyu also loved this horse that had been on the battlefield for a long time. Ideological understanding and communication are the prerequisites for great love. After brigade commander Qi Jing delivers a public pre-war speech to the entire brigade, he will take the initiative to ask Wang Keyu, or want to get Wang Keyu's feedback. The excitement in the mind is not something that can be easily achieved in the body. Speaking of doubt, it means that every man has a mysophobia that women must belong completely to this man. When I asked about Wang Keyu's capture, I saw Wang Keyu's greatness and Qi Jing's true feelings. Pain points from the heart. Love is something that can only be encountered but cannot be sought. The novel, this novel, seems to have so many meanings.

Cao Shui'er is the orderly of Brigadier Qi Jing, and he has fulfilled his mission from beginning to end, but the author also tells readers the flaws of this orderly without mercy. This makes it easy for readers to believe and understand. In the war years, life and death were just a blink of an eye, but in this blink of an eye, many heroic and heroic revolutionary spirits occurred.

Mr. Xu is an experiencer and witness of the war. In this novel, the most outstanding feature is the awe-inspiring spirit of revolutionary heroism. An ordinary soldier, Cao Shui'er, could show a righteous and awe-inspiring spirit and could escort and protect Wang Keyuo until the end of his life. Fearless of hardship and fear of death. A grassroots literary and art worker in the army can also throw off his arms and work hard with dignity. This is reflected in the meticulousness when making propaganda slogans for the base area, the awe-inspiring act of taking off clothes to protect everyone's safety when crossing the Yellow River, and jumping off the cliff when the enemy was besieging them. The 13-year-old little chamber pot, a new force in the revolution, made a deafening roar in front of the enemy and was about to be put to death by the enemy. It frightened the enemies who were frightened by the news. What else could this be if it wasn't righteousness and awe-inspiring! Realistic and concrete, real and touching. A novel with a revolutionary theme is inseparable from the awe-inspiring righteousness, self-sacrifice for righteousness, and the praise and narration of revolutionary heroism.

A novel, especially this one, describes the PLA officers and soldiers in the last years before the country is about to be liberated. It uses the war life of a field brigade as a guide to describe the unbearable and painful reflections on human nature. In the war years, heroes were born, but the growth process of heroes is not straight forward. In the face of fragile human nature, human growth is not so simple. Many times, what the author wants to express is a kind of growth thinking. It is on the premise of this kind of thinking that our soldiers, the army, and our nation constantly correct themselves, constantly find problems deep in their minds, and start over. This third point was developed by myself. Difficulties breed brilliance.

A writer's writing must contain a lot of subjectivity, but in this era, what is most needed is a hymn that describes the times and describes the most beautiful growth process of mankind. And this novel obviously achieves these points.
