My philosophy of life is work. I want to reveal the mysteries of nature and benefit mankind. In our short life, I don't know what is better than this kind of service.
The so-called genius is deceptive, and hard work is true. Life is short, and our best reward for this short life is work. Nothing really valuable in the world can be obtained without hard work.
333 Basic Contents,,,,,,,,,, When Lu Yao was young, he kept running around the city and the countryside. His most familiar life was "the intersection of urban and rural areas", and the vibrant and opportunity urban life constituted a double stimulus to his closed and poor rural educated youth. Lu Yao pondered and understood this phenomenon, and in the various impacts of the surging urbanization wave, he put forward the question of how the educated youth in rural areas should choose.
As early as when he was in college, Lu Yao read a lot of classic works and made an investigation on the literary achievements of New China. He found that all the previous novels had a certain tendency to face up, just as the characters in the movies were simply divided into "good guys" and "bad guys" in the eyes of children, but people's thoughts were complex and changeable, and it was absolutely impossible to divide complex human nature so simply. This idea is embodied in Gao Jialin, the protagonist of Life.
Life published in 1982. During the reform period, the urban and rural life in the northern Shaanxi Plateau formed its temporal and spatial background. Gao Jialin, a high school graduate, returned to the land, left the land, and then returned to the land, which constituted the framework of his story. Gao Jialin's emotional entanglements with the rural girl Liu Qiaozhen and the urban girl Huang Yaping constitute the contradiction in the development of the story, and it is also a tragedy that reflects that difficult choice.
Gao Jialin is a complicated figure that the author tries to create. He not only embodies the quality, self-confidence and perseverance of modern youth who constantly challenge their destiny, but also has the traditional virtue of hard work and simplicity. He loves life, is ambitious and has lofty ideals and ambitions. Concerned about international issues, like playing basketball, into the trend of the times. Unlike his father, he didn't submit to humiliation and stick to his duty, but he had a higher spiritual pursuit, but the reality was always far from the ideal, and it was this contrast that constituted his complex personality characteristics. After graduating from high school and returning to the village, he became a teacher in a private primary school. He is very satisfied with this career that embodies his talent and full of hope for him, but it doesn't last long. He was replaced by the son of Gao Minglou, the powerful brigade secretary, and returned to the land. Just when he was frustrated and even a little desperate, Liu Qiaozhen, a kind and beautiful rural girl, came into his life. Although Liu Qiaozhen has no culture, she really fell in love with Gao Jialin, a "cultural person". Her love is simple and pure, and she expresses her passionate love in a warm and practical way. In fact, the love she got was unequal from the beginning. Gao Jialin is perfect in her eyes, but she only finds spiritual comfort for Gao Jialin when he is frustrated. When the opportunity came to Gao Jialin again, he finally seized the opportunity and returned to the city.
City life gave Gao Jialin a chance to show his talents, and he met his classmate Huang Yaping again. Compared with Qiao Zhen, Huang Yaping is undoubtedly a modern woman. She is cheerful and lively, but willful and bossy. Her love for Gao Jialin is fierce, bold and has the desire to conquer. Gao Jialin and she do have many similarities. They have the same knowledge background and many interesting topics. When they talked eloquently with Kan Kan, Gao Jialin entered a difficult choice. When Gao Jialin vaguely had this idea, his idea was quickly suppressed by another emotion. He remembered Qiao Zhen's kind and lovely face and her selfless and gentle love. When Qiao Zhen came to see him with a dog skin plate, his indescribable complex feelings suddenly appeared. After repeated consideration, he accepted Huang Yaping's love, but it also meant that this choice would hurt Qiaozhen mercilessly. When he gently expressed his choice to Qiaozhen, Qiaozhen accepted it with tears, but she didn't blame Gao Jialin too much. On the contrary, she is more worried about Gao Jialin's future life, and advises him to worry more about other places. But tears are running down my face.
However, good dreams cannot come true. The news that Gao Jialin went to town finally got around. What he has to face is to return to the land where he was born and raised. All his ideals and ambitions are like passing clouds. He can't bear the blow, and it is even more difficult to face the land where he was born and raised. He reduced his fanaticism and calm introspection, accepted Grandpa Deshun's words, and then threw himself on the yellow land.
Lu Yao quoted a passage from the writer Liu Qing in his life:
Although the road of life is long, there are often only a few steps at stake, especially when people are young.
No one's life path is straight, and there is no fork in the road. Some forks in the road, such as political fork in the road, career fork in the road, personal life fork in the road, you take a wrong step, can affect a life, can also affect a lifetime.
This passage can indeed be used as an annotation of the novel Life.
====================================================================
Comments:
Wang Yu: After Life was published, it attracted readers' attention and had a great response in the literary and art circles.
Many commentary articles have been published in local newspapers and periodicals. After reading your three novellas, I feel that in reflecting the depth and breadth of life, every
Each one has made progress to varying degrees. What specific ideas do you have when you conceive life?
Lu Yao: When I wrote this work, I really didn't expect any response. I wrote about the countryside, not about the countryside.
It's been a day or two, and I haven't suddenly thought of writing. The prototype of this work has been brewing in my heart for a long time.
I thought of writing this subject in 1979. But I always feel that I am not fully prepared, and there are still many problems that I have not figured out. I have moved several times.
All the pens are put down. However, if I don't write it, I always feel that those characters are impacting me. 198 1 year, I wrote it cruelly.
Let's go I just want to show this life as much as possible. After the publication of this work, it received enthusiastic support from readers.
Received thousands of letters. I really don't want to say anything myself, mainly to listen to the opinions of critics. Wang Yu: You wrote People.
Life ",in fact, is constantly exploring" life ",and people who make comments can't help scratching their boots."
You know more about the joys and sorrows of this exploration.
Lu Yao: Judging from the review articles published at present, the critics are still keen on the content of this work.
Basically, I saw something I didn't even realize. The shortcomings in their works are somewhat interesting.
It is valuable to watch the performance. Even those negative opinions are very helpful to me. Wang Yu: Your life left the deepest impression on me.
Image is a grasp of the complex contradictions in life at this turning point. Facing the current progress of the whole literary creation
Look, this is also a very important question. Of course, not only life, but also your three novellas on this issue.
Excellent performance, thrilling scene, first published and then won the prize, although some places are inevitably refined.
Sparse, but for the description of the complex state of piety mixed with fanaticism, confusion mixed with impulse during the ten-year catastrophe, it is especially digging.
Excavate the inner spiritual strength of the protagonist, make his role shine at the moment, and the content is relatively thick. Your "difficult period"
Similarly, in such a difficult time, in such a young man, a persistent, pure, pure.
The strength of personality collides with the severe contradiction of the surrounding life, echoing the tragic tone. In Life, for this point,
All kinds of contradictions in this turning period are fully displayed from the fate and inner activities of the characters, which are more than those in the previous two films.
Because it is profound and extensive. In your speeches at several seminars and articles you wrote, you mentioned that you should write across regions and use them indiscriminately.
Comrades also talked about this issue, and I quite agree with this view. In the current turning point of getting rid of old cloth, real life
All aspects influence each other, penetrate each other, penetrate each other and interweave each other, showing a crisscross state, and writers should oppose it.
To reflect this era, we must consider the problem from such an angle. According to my personal prejudice, some works are relatively thin at present.
Or narrow, or superficial, mainly confined to a narrow range of life, writing about the countryside is the countryside, and writing about the city is it.
In cities, unemployed young people are unemployed young people, so this is a problem that can be discussed. Some better works also have a certain sense of life, but
It is difficult to see the style of the times through works, and there is often a life without times. Of course, there are some works that are just empty.
The characteristics of the times, without a specific sense of life, that won't work. When you combine the two, I think you are reflecting contradictions.
I have my own ideas about sudden problems.
Lu Yao: I think so in this respect. Life often presents complex forms, and some phenomena, contradictions and conflicts float in.
On the surface, you can see at a glance that some writers are often attracted and confused by this superficial thing, and many works are just descriptions.
Who wrote these things? However, the internal contradictions and conflicts in life are sometimes not immediately clear, but the works of writers.
Mainly lies in the surface of life, drilling deep into life, can not be satisfied with the surface of life.
Like, in this way, the work can be written more deeply.
Wang Yu: Your views are profound. Many writers go to life and are immediately attracted by the superficial phenomena of life.
Can't restrain their enthusiasm, without repeated thinking, digestion, brewing, often describe more than enough, thinking less, just
It's hard to go deep.
Lu Yao: Like the rural production responsibility system, this is the current policy, and there is a big anti-Central Committee member among the rural areas and farmers.
On the surface, farmers have money, money, food and want to buy things. But the work only stays at this step.
In fact, it says that they have money, buy TV sets and fly high-end goods, and that they got the money yesterday and spent it again, so
Of course, it does not reflect the new changes in rural areas, but after all, it is not enough to reflect the extensive and far-reaching impact brought by the new policy. one
A writer should see that the change of rural economic policy has caused the change of the whole rural life, which is deeply manifested.
Changes in people's spirit and psychology, changes in the relationship between people, and the overcoming of old contradictions are new spears.
The shield has appeared again, and new contradictions have promoted the continuous reform of the system, the changes of people's spiritual world and the new relationship between people.
Adjust. In a word, the whole rural life is undergoing a new change and combination, and we should focus on these aspects. superficially
Focusing on phenomena, it is easy to write superficially and identically. I used to be like this myself, so my works are superficial. Such a work
Products can't attract readers to think more deeply about life. Therefore, I think writers should dig deeper into life instead of being lived.
Confused by superficial things, what you just said about intersection is a new problem I feel in real life.
A state of contradiction. What I realized at that time was the intersection of urban and rural areas. Now it seems that with the reform of the system, various contradictions have appeared in life.
Are in a cross state. Not only between cities and rural areas, but also between various fronts within cities and people in rural life.
Between, people's spiritual world, the intersection of contradictions and conflicts is also complicated. Conflicts of ideas, and years.
The contradiction between the younger generation and the older generation, old ideas and new ideas is also more complicated. A writer should have a broad vision.
Understand it, get rid of the superficial phenomenon of life, go deep into the deeper bottom and inside of life, in a wider range.
To consider the intersection of social contradictions, many young writers' creations are considered from this aspect, and so is my life.
Considering from this aspect, it is not enough.
Wang Yu: At present, the contradictions in life are not simple.
Lu Yao: Looking back, some places are very unsatisfactory. As far as the theme is concerned, this work is to be displayed.
More broadly, there are some limitations. But as far as this work is concerned, it is already very difficult to add anything, so we can only wait.
Remedy later. Mainly have a deeper understanding of life.
Wang Yu: Because of this, there are some different views on the evaluation of life. I thought you wrote about life.
Is to strip away the appearance of life and explore the complex contradictions in life. Therefore, the theme of life is simply one sentence.
Make it clear. Judging from the connotation of the work, you are the younger generation who are exploring the intersection of various contradictions in the turning period. Should you go or not?
What kind of life path. Gao Jialin's ideal and pursuit have the common characteristics of contemporary youth. But there is also a history.
The emotional burden of the younger generation, as well as the fanaticism and nothingness brought to the younger generation by the ten-year catastrophe. These are all in Gao Jialin.
Therefore, people think that the question answered by the work is whether Gao Jialin needs reform, and Gao Jialin's view of man and peace is positive.
True or false, it's all too simple. The themes of life should cross and radiate from a main line.
Reflects all aspects of life in the times.
Lu Yao: Most of the disputes in this region are concentrated in Gao Jialin, which is very politicized. Tell Gao Jialin the truth.
Said I was studying him, too. Because of this, I didn't simply answer what kind of person this character is in my works. discuss
Regarding the theme of the works, it used to be simplistic to limit the theme to a very narrow range, which always made people see through it at a glance. of course
It's not that readers can't see anything. I mean, the theme of the work is not a simple concept, because life
It is not a simple concept in itself. Life is a complex synthesis. Works are the reflection of life, the opposite of truth.
A work reflecting life will not be a simple concept, but should be as complicated as the contradiction and conflict of life itself.
Harmonious tones. I want to explore this aspect in my life, mainly in Gao Jialin. As for making
The ideological nature of the product, I think, every part of the work is permeated with ideas, not just a simplicity in the whole work.
Ideological conclusion. The depth of a writer's understanding of life should permeate every corner of his works.
Wang Yu: Yes! That's a good question When a reader reads a work, he should be able to think everywhere instead of reading it.
It is not until the work is finished that a conclusion is proved to be right or wrong.
Lu Yao: That's it. Like Tolstoy's works, readers will ponder everywhere. Anna karenin.
The first sentence at the beginning caused people to think. Excellent works, each part reflects the writer's profound understanding of life.
Degree, we should understand the theme of the work in this way.
Wang Yu: The theme of the work is rich, and the characters in the work should not be single. People like Gao Jialin.
You can't simply understand him. His pursuit and ideal have the characteristics of young people in this era. He wants to work in a private office.
As a teacher, I want to make some achievements in changing the backward customs in rural areas, and I want to get some conditions to display my talents.
Fear is beyond reproach; But he is also mixed with some personal things, pursuing personal achievements, being swayed by considerations of gain and loss, and encountering unpleasant things.
The situation is depressing, and so on. All this is intertwined with him, causing conflicts in the spiritual world and making him penniless.
In the exhibition, Gao Jialin is a trekker on the road of life, not a simple person who has finished the road of life.
Winners and losers. His inner contradictions and development have aroused young friends' thinking, which should be.
How to understand the complicated life? In short, this is a multi-faceted personality, not a pile of certain personality characteristics.
Lu Yao: I think whether the character image can stand up depends on whether this image truly reflects the contradictions in life.
Conflict, some comments on the characters are relatively simple. People's advanced thinking is often confused with their artistic typicality.
As soon as I talk about it, it seems that the more advanced the characters' thoughts are, the greater the typical significance is. Measure the success of the characters in a work, mainly
See if it's an art model. As for what typical writing is advocated according to the needs of life development, that is another category.
Problems, these two problems should not be confused, such a view, among readers and beginners of writing caused a.
A certain degree of confusion. As for the image of Gao Jialin, I wrote about the intersection of rural and urban areas, which is not found in life.
He should be accused of being a laggard or a coward and a bad guy, which is too simple to understand. Now there are some comments.
Economists also saw his complexity and thought that Gao Jialin could not be treated in a general way in the sense of good people and bad people. I am very.
Agreed. A young man in his twenties like Gao Jialin has just set foot on the road of life because of his lack of life experience. They are immature.
Inevitable. Not only in Gao Jialin, but any young man who has just set foot on the road of life will not be a mature person.
Perfect, perfect person, what's more, Gao Jialin was in such a situation that he could show the correct attitude towards everything.
It is impossible to know each other. But in this young man, everything should not be denied. I am a citizen myself.
Things, mental state is like this, I hold a feeling like my brother to write this character. Because I am several years older than Gao Jialin.
At the age of 18, I walked a little longer than him. I want to talk about some advantages or disadvantages of this character completely.
Describe clearly. I hope that such figures will eventually become outstanding young people in our society and appear in the present.
This character in the work is not mature enough. This is not to say that I am justifying a fault. As you can see in my works, I am right.
His criticism of some bad things in thoughts and feelings is very sharp. We are used to seeing the author's tendency.
How to praise and criticize naked? In my opinion, a writer's inclination should be included in the overall structure of his works.
Medium. My tendency is reflected in the whole life, rather than jumping out somewhere to criticize Garin.
Wang Yu: Some commentary articles have not fully explained this point. I think that's what you ended up like, or you didn't argue.
At the end of the ending, it was pointed out that for a character like Gao Jialin, it is only when he is truly rooted in the land of life.
There is a new beginning. You have high hopes for Gao Jialin. Lu Yao: It is full of my own aesthetic outlook on life.
Attitude, this is very clear. As for what Gao Jialin should do next, what kind of person he will become, in a certain process.
Degree should be answered by life, because life continues to develop and Gao Jialin continues to live. I believe that for me,
Our whole society and the changes in the past, young people like Gao Jialin will eventually move towards the right path of life, but in the future,
For him, the road is still uneven.
Wang Yu: Yes. He will encounter many bumps in his later life.
Lu Yao: That's for sure, because our life itself is advancing in contradiction.
Wang Yu: When you created the image of Gao Jialin, did you have a prototype, or did you generalize it from many young people?
Lu Yao: I came from the countryside and then went to work in the city. I am also a person at the crossroads. Such a young man
I know a lot of people and know them quite well. I am well aware of their living conditions and mental state. These people include
My relatives, there are many such people in my family, and my brother is such a person. I have had many such feelings in my life.
By, summed up such a character image.
Wang Yu: The image of Gao Jialin has aroused widespread concern. I'm afraid the author is serious and honest.
Starting from life, I grasped the complex contradictions and conflicts in life and showed them completely. This figure is not just for rural youth.
Portrait is also the epitome of some young people in this era.
Lu Yao: As a contemporary youth, Gao Jialin is not only the product of the intersection of urban and rural areas, but also the product of other industries.
There are Gao Jialin and Gao Jialin in the city, Gao Jialin in the university, Gao Jialin in the factory, and of course there are more in the countryside.
Gao Jialin. Such young people are not uncommon in our society. My initial thought was that I had a responsibility to put such a person.
Writing things out, on the one hand, is to attract the attention of the society to such young people, and the whole society should pay attention to them and care for them from all aspects.
They enable them to grow up healthily, because our whole country and future career depend on this generation.
Therefore, we must pay serious attention to them and pay attention to this issue from now on; On the other hand, from the youth themselves,
When the current society can't meet their living requirements, they should treat life correctly, in a sense.
Generally speaking, especially when you are young, the road of life cannot be smooth sailing, and there will always be a problem of treating life correctly.
Title.
Wang Yu: It should be said that Gao Jialin's personality is multi-layered. In him, it is not just a bunch of personal characteristics, but a kind of opposition.
Reflects the contradictions of our times. The same is true of other roles, some of which have also been discussed in published review articles.
Not many, like Liu Qiaozhen, are beautiful images, but they also reflect some contradictions of rural young women themselves.
There is also the image of Gaoming Building. You didn't simplify him. He has a sense of superiority, even a sense of superiority formed over the years.
"Domineering", but there is a clear side, he conforms to the times and hates love. He has calculation, courage and many complicated things.
The image of Liu Qiaozhen you emphasized is one of the images given to this generation of young people by our long history.
It seems that you appreciate this role.
Lu Yao: Liu Qiaozhen and Grandpa Deshun are two characters. Some critics point out that I love them too much. It's true.
Reason. I am the son of a farmer. I grew up in the countryside, so I have such enthusiasm for farmers, like Liu Qiaozhen.
This kind of affection for writing these two characters is actually through these two characters that I have entrusted my parents, brothers and sisters who raised me with a piece of mind.
A feeling. These two figures show a traditional virtue of our country and nation, one in life.
Sacrifice the spirit. I think, no matter how advanced the society is, this kind of thing will always be precious to us, if
We simply regard these things as feudalism, and now they are no longer needed. What hope is there for mankind?
And then what? No matter what stage of development, such a beautiful personality is needed, and it is the development of our human society.
The most basic guarantee. Of course, they have their limitations, but this is not their responsibility, which is caused by various social and historical reasons.
It has imposed restrictions on them.
Wang Yu: The inertia of our history has restricted their development.
Lu Yao: Because of this, there will inevitably be tragedies in their lives, such as Liu Qiaozhen and her.
It is a tragedy of fate that fate is so tragic. I have deep sympathy for this role.
Wang Yu: In contrast, I always think that Huang Yaping is a little thin. When I say "thin", I mean yellow.
Yaping's vanity and superficial things have been written, and there are bound to be contradictions and conflicts in this character's heart. She is on the road of life.
The ups and downs in the world seem to be not written deeply enough. This may be my personal prejudice. I don't know what you think.
Never mentioned this character again. However, judging from the relationship between this character and Gao Jialin, it should be mutual influence.
On the one hand, there are contradictions. Liu Qiaozhen's beautiful soul embodies the virtues handed down from generation to generation by our nation. she is
Difficult times warmed Gao Jialin's heart and strengthened Gao Jialin's confidence in life. This is the flag of Gao Jialin.
Drums are very vivid. But between Gao Jialin and Huang Yaping, there are too few things that communicate and conflict with each other. It seems that only
Is to trigger the tragic fate of Gao Jialin.
Lu Yao: This work does have some shortcomings. My experience in writing long stories is not very rich, because it involves
There are many roles, some of which are not well developed. Not paying enough attention to these roles, directing a play for the first time.
There are five kinds of directors, and they are often in a hurry. Sometimes they can only focus on the main characters inside and outside, and take care of some minor characters.
Let's go And some talented and experienced screenwriters, like a director with a big picture of breastfeeding, have played every corner well.
I'm still an intern director, so I can only focus on the main characters. Huang Yaping's character, I initially imagined it to be better than now.
On a larger scale, the performance of this role is still at the beginning, and she should make a difference in the future. Current job
It's over. It's too late to make amends. If this work can be unfolded, it may be better than it is now, and it is not just yellow.
Yaping is alone, and there are other figures, such as Gaominglou. If his work develops further, maybe he will go to the meeting again.
Up to the main position, I can only concentrate on the main part now. Of course, a complete work should not be secondary.
Part.
Wang Yu: As theater actors often say, there are only actors on the stage, and there are no small roles.
Lu Yao: It's like building a house. You mainly care about beams and columns, and try to be unique.
It's too late to carve his parts carefully, and sometimes he even fills them with ordinary materials. In this way, some places appear very flat.
Yong, I'm not satisfied either.
Wang Yu: It is really not easy to take care of every part in artistic creation, which is not only related to the consciousness of the screenwriter, but also related to the relationship.
It is no accident that many masters have worked hard on the structure because of the experience and skill of screenwriters. In Tolstoy's works, like Ann
A character like Oblonsky in Na Karenina should be said to be secondary, but his life scope is reflected in his works.
The interior plays a key role, making the structure of the whole work look so closely symmetrical. Two plots behind life
It doesn't seem to be so closely related to the structure of the whole work. First, the status of Gao Jialin has changed from rural to urban, which is caused by
His uncle's unexpected arrival; When he returned to the countryside from the city, he met a woman like Zhang Kenan's mother, out of
Jealousy and snitching came too suddenly. I don't know what you think of these places.
Lu Yao: Works of art cannot be separated from novels. The key problem depends on the contradictions and conflicts described in the works, the fate and influence of the characters.
This sudden change and development is reasonable from the essence of historical life. Some places seem to be accidental.
Sex is too obvious, mainly because the author didn't write enough. The latter two plots cannot be simply said to be accidental, but I can only say that I didn't.
Well written.
Wang Yu: From this, I think of some problems in current novel creation. We often say that realism should be combined with "people"
Judging from the creation of Life 0, this "depth" reflects the profundity of contradictions and conflicts in life on the one hand, and the character's character on the other.
Intrinsic richness, that is, a more profound embodiment of multifaceted personality. Comrade Chen Yong published in the second issue of Yanhe this year.
The article puts forward a noteworthy problem. He believes that literary and artistic works should not only express people and the surrounding environment.
The contradictions and conflicts between things further reflect the contradictions and conflicts of the characters themselves, and even new images. your
Life, I think it stands out at this point.
Lu Yao: Actually, a person is a world. The world is not isolated, but closely related to the whole society.
Yes, shoot each other. Some works can make up many touching stories, but they don't pay attention to the spiritual world of the characters.
Man is just a prop in the work, and the work will not have depth. Why are some European writers, including Dumas, better than Balzac,
Tolstoy's inferiority complex is also the reason.
Wang Yu: I benefited a lot from talking with you today. Writers should study life. Research figures; Critics must study
Writers, studying works, pay attention to what new experiences and new ideas writers have in studying life and reflecting on life. this
Only in this way can writers and critics become true friends.
Lu Yao: Actually, both writers and critics should study life. Critics study life and works; Writer studies
Study and life also attach importance to criticism. Only in this way can critics accurately evaluate their works and writers constantly improve themselves.
Wang Yu: Recently, I heard that Life and On Hard Days are going to be adapted into movies. In addition to adapting these two films,
What's the new plan outside the movie?
