At present, China's literary world seems to have fallen into such a post-habit era. Everyone is used to following the "flag" and "trend", escaping from reality and not telling the truth.
So the market is full of "mainstream culture" as amulet and shield, occupying the best-selling shelves. Otherwise, it is to write some flowers, birds, insects and fish, spiritual prose and cultural prose to fool readers into going to another world and forget our responsibility and mission of living in the present. Habit, smooth the writer's hair, smooth the edges and corners that should be publicized! For socially sensitive topics, I dare not touch them for fear of getting into trouble; They dare not criticize the people's bad habits. Today's writers "all have consciences, but they just hide themselves"!
Doesn't this post-habit era conform to the era of "holding on to slaves" written by Lu Xun? Writers have become slaves to habits and trends. However, we need writers who go against the current. They are people who can "break the habit" and "open their eyes"! Lu Xun said in "Open Your Eyes": "China writers don't have the courage to face up to the social reality. They don't even dare to look up or squint." Therefore, to break the habit, the writer must first "open his eyes". People who can "write skillfully" must first have "iron shoulders and morality". Having a broad social vision, keen insight and a sense of anxiety about the world are the prerequisites for success. Jiang village economy was written by Mr Fei Xiaotong decades after he went deep into the countryside. Unlike some writers who lock themselves in castles in the air, and unlike ladies in boudoir, what they write is still "ungrounded" and "within the habit" just by imagining fictional words.
To break the habit, China literary world needs to be a "pioneer". Some time ago, Li's work "Li's Anti-Demolition" caused quite a stir. I am not a professional writer, but I dare to comment on the hot social issue of forced demolition and satirize some novels. I think he can be regarded as one of the pioneers. What he "broke through" is the iron wall that is used to casting, the blockade formed by the trend, and the "forbidden area" that many writers dare not touch. At present, there are many immature places in this work from the literary point of view, but the title of "China's first demolition novel" has made him remembered by history. I also appreciate that an essay newspaper classified his purpose of running a magazine as "telling the truth and telling the facts". It is undoubtedly a member of the press. It can provide a broader platform for more enterprising people to express their feelings and criticize the shortcomings of the times.
Writers should show their edges and corners, stand up and move against the current, break this "post-habit" era with "daggers" and "throwing guns" and break into a new world.
