Tachi District, near modern Shanghai, is also a place where everyone gathers, which has resulted in Mao Dun's open cultural mentality of bravely facing the world and his meticulous writing. he
He lost his father at the age of ten. The "first teachers" of many writers and politicians in China are widowed mothers, and Mao Dun was raised by her mother. After finishing the preparatory course in Peking University, I was unable to further my studies and entered Shanghai for business.
At this time, I worked in a publishing house, reformed the old-fashioned Novel Monthly and became the chief critic of the Literature Research Association. Then I joined the Shanghai * * * production team and prepared to come to China.
* * * The producer went to Guangzhou to attend the Second Congress of the Kuomintang and served as the Minister of Propaganda Department of the Kuomintang Central Committee. The Acting Minister of Propaganda Department is Mao Zedong. After the breakdown of this * * * cooperation, I threw myself into my arms.
Han went into exile in Shanghai and Japan, and began to write Disillusionment, Shock, Pursuit and Rainbow, so he picked up a novelist's pen. This experience of upper-level political struggle made his time.
Representing the generalization of literature and the whole social vision, the theme of early works is also taken from this. He wrote Midnight, Lin Jiabao and Spring Silkworm during the period of the Leftist League. During his stay in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression,
He traveled to Hong Kong, Xinjiang, Yan 'an, Chongqing, Guilin and other places, and published Corrosion, Frosty Leaves as Red as February Flowers and Exercise. The literary and art circles celebrated his fiftieth birthday, and his
More and more famous. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), he served as vice chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, minister of culture, chairman of writers' association and vice chairman of China People's Political Consultative Conference. It is difficult for him to create it at once. To "unprecedented"
Sun Yue, who was criticized by the side, was a little tactful and secretly wrote the sequel to Frosty Leaves as Red as February Flowers and the memoir The Road I Walked. 198 1 years have passed.
In recent years, the academic circles recognized Mao Dun as the pioneer of China's social analysis novels. This genre originated from French-Russian realistic novels in the19th century, which is in the same strain as China's classical novels.
The combination of state novels and novels. We can see it clearly from the sequel to Frost Leaves as Red as February Flowers. This draft, written in the 1970s without final revision, is Balza.
It is obvious that Crocker and Tolstoy's narrative style, fine environment and the description of characters' costumes reveal the pen interest of the old narrative department. Mao Dun represented a whole generation of novels until he was 80 years old.
With the rise of modernist avant-garde novels in 1990s, a new generation of more personalized narratives became popular all over the world. This is not surprising. So did Mao Dun during most of this century.
It is the role of this "emerging" writer. It is impossible to bypass Mao Dun, and it is also impossible to try to raise a great writer to an insurmountable height. In addition, the literature of each generation is passed down.
Is "accumulation". If the next generation just bombs the previous generation and adopts the "A Q" method of revolution, revolution and revolution, in the end, you will find that there is only one left in your hand.
The blind bear cut an ear of corn, and we will always pay an expensive "tuition fee" for ABC to acquire modern knowledge. In fact, postmodern works and comments do not put modernity
Everything sent has been cleared! Modern party realism is not what people think. Today, we read some new works by young writers, which feel like "fable".
At the same time as the structure, we will feel that the basic elements of the novel, such as the story, environment and characters, still exist vividly, and they will only deform and will not disappear completely. The Significance of Mao Dun's Novels
Justice is here.
The origin of the pseudonym "Mao Dun"
After the failure of the Great Revolution, Shanghai was shrouded in white terror. Chiang Kai-shek's own troops were blacklisted and searched.
* * * produced in party member.
Shen Yanbing sneaked back to Shanghai in late August 1927. He returned to his home in Dongheng Road and met his mother and Yi.
Two children. His mother told him that Comte was in Fumin Hospital run by Japanese because of miscarriage. So he went to see it.
Hope.
"Dehong, your name is on the wanted list of Nanjing government. Some acquaintances asked about you the other day, and I said to them:
You went to Japan. Now that you are back, what shall we do? "Comte stop asking. He didn't answer at once. Thought: Stay with me.
Living in this alley, many staff members of the Commercial Press know me. Even if I show up occasionally, it's hard
It will not reach the ears of Chiang Kai-shek's people. So he said to his wife, "You also said that I went to Japan. I won't for the time being
Out of the door, and no one. "
After retiring, he immediately faced a realistic problem: how to maintain his life? He thought it was obviously impossible to find a job.
Yes, I'm going to pick up a pen again and sell articles for a living. Two days later, my wife went home, but she still had a low fever and had to stay in bed.
recover
He put a small table beside his wife's sickbed, reading and writing while taking care of her.
When I was in Shanghai last year, Shen Yanbing heard that Mei Dianlong, one of the leaders of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, was pursuing Tang Dihua.
This is crazy. Once, he asked Tang Dihua if he loved him. The answer is "love and not love." China Shrub Cherry
Hua was probably joking when he said this. However, Mei Dianlong came out of Tang Di Huawu and got on a rickshaw. His mind has been
Study the meaning of "love and not love". When I got off the bus, I left a package of central documents in the car.
Yes
After a long walk, Mei Dianlong remembered the package of documents, but it was already late. At that time, Shen Yanbing thought, "This matter.
It is an excellent new material. "
One night, he went to attend a small meeting. It rained heavily after the meeting. He propped up his umbrella and was about to leave when he suddenly listened.
People say:
"It's raining so hard, how can people go back?" He looked back, and it was Tang Dihua. When he saw that she didn't bring an umbrella, he
Say:
"Come on, I'll take you home." Two people have an umbrella, and the rain is ringing on the umbrella. He secretly looked at it carefully.
By your side, it is still glowing with exciting red light, which is even more beautiful and moving. Suddenly, all kinds of images, especially female images.
Appear in his mind, come and go, hidden or obvious, as if it were a fragment of a movie. He couldn't hear the rain beating against the paper umbrella.
Voice, forgot to have a companion.
Later, he wrote: "At that time, the impulse to write was extremely strong. If possible, I will support myself in this heavy rain. "
An umbrella, just write. "
That night, he came home and wrote his first novel outline.
Later, Shen Yanbing went to Wuhan and was busy editing Hankou Republic Daily, so he forgot this novel outline.
But when he was in Shanghai, he met some women of the times in Wuhan, and his personality was more exposed. Be a big brother
When he failed in life, he saw many people make a fool of themselves, be crazy and decadent, and be pessimistic and depressed.
In the third-class cabin of Xiangyang Pill from Wuhan to Jiujiang, there are two light blue ones hanging on a berth like curtains.
A skirt. The host probably meant to block people's sight, but it caught people's attention.
Shen Yanbing found that this was Huang Mulan and Fan Zhichao he had seen in Shanghai and Han. So he wrote it a year ago.
He suddenly remembered the outline of a novel. But because of the task, he still couldn't write it.
Now, Shen Yanbing is sitting at his wife's bedside, digging out the outline of his original novel and checking it from beginning to end.
He made several revisions and then began to write his first novel, Disillusionment.
It took less than two weeks to write the first half of Disillusionment from the beginning of September. He intends to take over.
Ye Shengtao read Zheng Zhenduo's novel Monthly. But what is the name of the department? Of course not in Shen Yanbing. the original
Wuhan used the pseudonyms "Zhu Xuan" and "Lang Loss", even though he wrote articles scolding Chiang Kai-shek.
He thought of the contradiction between the current revolution and counter-revolution; Contradictions within the revolutionary camp; Petty bourgeois intellectuals are here.
Contradictions in the era of great change, as well as contradictions in my life and thoughts. Therefore, a kind of satire on others laughs at the accumulation of literati.
Xi played a role in it, and he casually wrote a new pen name: contradiction under the title of Disillusionment.
He handed the first half of the manuscript of Disillusionment to Ye Shengtao, who finished it overnight. The next day, he met Shen Yanbing.
Repeatedly said: "well written! Well written! The monthly novel lacks such articles. I want to publish your masterpiece in
The September issue will be published today. "Shen Yanbing said," I haven't finished yet.
"That might as well, September and a half, October and a half. There are more than ten days of entertainment release in September, waiting for you.
It's too late to finish. "
Shen Yanbing had to agree. Ye Shengtao added: "Your signature is contradictory. You can tell it is a pseudonym at a glance. such as
If someone from the Kuomintang comes to inquire about the original author, we will be in a dilemma. Why don't you add grass heads to the word "spear" and "hundred family names"
There are many people surnamed Mao in the library, which will not attract attention. "
"Well, as you said, change' contradiction' to' Mao Dun'. Gal, I this name is Shen, later.
Mao again. "Shen Yanbing said laughing out loud.
The Novel Monthly was published in September 1927, and Mao Dun's disillusionment immediately attracted many readers, writers and critics.
On the attention of economists. People have speculated who "Mao Dun" is. The poet Xu Zhimo wrote to Ye Shengtao to inquire. Ye Shengtao wrote back.
Say:
"The author doesn't want to show his real name, so I can't tell you." Xu Zhimo believes that judging from the richness and prose of his works,
Judging from the sophistication of the pen, this "Mao Dun" will definitely not be a new author who is just a beginner. One day, he went to the theater and was performing.
When I met Song Yunbin in the yard, I happily said to the other party, "Shengtao refused to tell me. I have guessed that Mao Dun is not Shen Yanbing.
who is it? "
"yes! Yes! It's Shen Yanbing. Some people used to think that Yan Bing could only translate and write comments, but not create, so he
The child's mouth is going to shut up. "
Later, Mao Dun wrote "Disillusionment" and published "Shake and Pursuit". Two years later, the trilogy
It was published by Ming Kai Bookstore under the name of Eclipse. On the title page of Eclipse, Mao Dun wrote this inscription:
The fire of life still burns in my chest, the power of youth still flows in my veins, my eyes can still understand, and my brain can still dissipate.
Then, I can still think, and I should also have the opportunity to repay my dear readers and thousands of life fighters in this world. Yingying zhi
Voice can't disturb my heart, I only use it to encourage myself.
