Yan Gang "I'm still alive": Recalling people's deep affection

Since the autumn of 2019, Yan Gang has been away from the hustle and bustle of the Beijing literary world by "returning to the ninety -four -year -old brother", and since then "the old man will not leave", he returns to his hometown in Liquan, Shaanxi to support the year. However, he did not "swords and guns into the warehouse, Ma Fan Nanshan", but as always, while paying attention to the domestic literary trend and helping the local literary authors, he kept writing and continued to move forward. People are dazzling flames. Recently, he launched a collection of "I am still alive" (Taibai Literature and Art Publishing House, April 2022), showing people his achievements in recent years, intended to "communicate with readers soul." After reading this collection, it is rich and more respectful.

"I am still alive" is divided into four series of "reverse travel", "knowing people", "the world", and "response", and has included new prose and comments written by Yan Gang in recent years. What impressed me was that his articles were different from his previous comments, and he had a description of childhood past, his hometown family, and the prose and essay of hospitalization. These words are true and honest, with a straightforwardness, and the meaning of self -deprecation and irony between or inside. These all show people that Yan Gang not only "lived", but also lived old and strong.

Liquan Yan's talents are well -known in Guanzhong. It is very destined and fortunate. I also benefited from the two generations of literati of the Yan family. In the 1970s, during my studies at Shaanxi Normal University, during the process of studying literary writing, I gave me many teachers Yan Jinghan (pseudonym Hou Yanbei) who guided and teach, and Yan Gang's uncle. Prose and novels are Mr. Yan Jinghan, who is the expert in the expert. He has profound accomplishments in literary writing, and treats students tirelessly. In my studies, I do n’t understand, and I do n’t know what to do. I went to him for advice. The changes of his words and the dials of a few words will not only clear the article, but also make people feel cheerful. The teacher's ears guided my continuous growth in literature. At the beginning of the new period, I was transferred to work from Shaanxi Normal University to work in Beijing. When bidding farewell to Teacher Yan Jinghan, he wrote a letter and instructed me to contact Yan Gang after going to Beijing. Since then, my first teacher of the Yan family gave me the second teacher of my Yan family. Since then, I have been with Yan Gang in the past. I have learned to write comments and edit it with him. It has grown up step by step and maturity in his "pulling".

"I'm still alive" describes childhood life, recalls the articles of family affairs, and pulls people's sight back to the past historical period, so that people can see the daily livelihood of the countryside and their own fate of family and loved ones. "Children's Children's Baicao Garden", the small garden in the well in the yard is fragrant when the rose blooms, and the fruit trees in the front yard shared with each other after the fruit matures. , And with the fun of the countryside. "The Lone Soul" and "My Trouins are a wonderful", which sketch the "weird" Sanbo and the "strange" baby's life interesting things. They all have their own hardships and special specialties. Their twisting character and unique living method have left the impression of "strange", but it is difficult to be or not forgotten. The little sadness of such a little man shows their own temperament and personality, and also reflects some side shadows of a certain era and society. Reading is exciting, "Mother is drowned by tears" who misses her mother. "My mother marrys the Yan family at the age of seventeen." On the one hand, she must be tortured by her mother -in -law. Wait until finally pulling the children to enlarge the children, "the problem of further studies, work problems, and marriage issues pushed in front of the mother", "worry about this, worry about that". As a result, not only "the body is exhausted", but also "mental stimulation", often "crying" and "difficulty" and "crying more than". When the mother who loved her most died in March 1976, Yan Gang himself was treated in the hospital for emergency treatment in the hospital at this time because of stomach bleeding. The phrase "My bitter mother!" How many feelings and sighs, regrets and regrets were contained. A great mother who has been giving and dedicated for a lifetime has also made readers sigh for it, moved, and admire it.

In the "Adverse Travel" series, "The Ward" and "Beautiful Death" that recorded his daughter's unfortunately died of the daughter's unfortunate death ", in the truthful statement and records, people really feel the throbbing and emotion of the soul and emotion. Shock. The daughter Yan He accidentally checked the gynecological cancer. She missed the opportunity to cure the good opportunity because she failed to find it early. She watched her smart and pleasant daughter step by step. When the diary article was written to see the daughter's "sticking to the quietness and dignity, and to the end of life clearly", Yan Gang used "Farewell, 38 years of life! Farewell, 38 years of bone blood!" Waiting for the seven consecutive "Farewell" row -like expressions, it can be described as Shi Xin's crying blood, tears intersect, like crying and complaints, shocking. Yan Gang, who has experienced such a middle -aged bereavement daughter, is not afraid to lose anything. Therefore, when he was hospitalized several times for illness, the kind of calm and calmness was very comparable. Therefore, the two "In the Ward" talked about the situation of being admitted to the hospital twice. When it comes to diagnosis and treatment, they are both lightly described. A few strokes have been brought. Talking about literature and art with friends, what I think about is how to compile and compose a book for the Liquan of my hometown, "reward the nostalgia". No. The series of "Knowing people" describes the past and some writers' impression of some writers. In these articles, Yan Gang exhibited the unique specialties of critics, focusing on the details of the past in the past, and described the personality of humanity with details. Ru Ji said that the poet and the translator slaughter the bank. For example, Wu Guanzhong, an adjacent painter, "plump and thin, rich and humble, easy and stubborn, humble and stubborn, full of global but like a bitter monk." For example, the township party Lei Shuyan, "I like to insert a scripture, and there are vulgar literature hanging on my mouth, and I will come to look at it without paying attention. , Put the wave -shaped skeleton, like a naughty child, do not know the hair of hair. " When it comes to Wang Meng, who is both a superior and a close friend of the literary world, he is also concise. The finishing touch is: "Being able to go up and down", "The honor and disgrace are not shocked, the piercing is free, the command is determined", "the existence of the existence is extremely smart." Speaking of Zhou Ming (Five Tong "(fellow villagers, classmates, colleagues," same criminals ", and fellowship), it is even more wonderful. The diplomatic ability of the thin mud is the enthusiastic literary world Kissinger, the eighty -eight -dwelling urchin, from the morning to the night, the older the older than the son, no big and small, and people who see people. "These words are both love." There are image descriptions, and more personality reveals, it seems to come out casually, and it comes with it. All of them tell people that the essence of knowledge is intellectual and ingenious.

Many articles in Ji Zi, when remembering people, also registered with the literary world of the stars and the past, and outlined Yan Gang's general context of doing things in the contemporary literary world for more than half a century. For example, in terms of literary reviews, the reading and comments of novels under the guidance of the gold mirror during the "Seventeenth Year" period, the annual overview of the year and the novels of the novels of the year, and the "Red Rock" as the object. Song- "Red Rock "'s ideological power and artistic features" "The character description of" Red Rock "" and the booklet of "The Tragedy" Red Rock ". In the "Literature and Art News", he promoted Xu Guangyao's "Little Soldiers Zhang Ga". At the beginning of the new period, he appraised Liu Xinwu's "Class Teacher" and prefaced Jiang Zilong's novels. He boldly asserted: "As far as the creation of my country's industrial theme novels, Jiang Zilong's article has a contemporary decline '!" And about Liu Qing The works of "History of Entrepreneurship", Lu Yao's "Ordinary World", Chen Zhongshi's "White Deer Plain", Yan Gang's comments came in time, saying that he was nine. This has made his comments have a wide range of influence inside and outside the literary world, and has been existing with the works he commented. What makes people even more emotional is that Yan Gang's accumulated performance in literary editing has been seriously obscured by his outstanding commenting achievements, and he has not received the attention and evaluation. In an article such as "Selling with Wang Meng" and other articles, when he recalled the full -time editorial board of the "Selection of the Fiction", he edited publications for new and changing, and spared no effort to sell publications. In other articles, in terms of the work of the Chinese Contemporary Literature Research Society, under the support and help of Zhang Jiong, Gu Yan, Liu Xicheng and others, founded the "Review Selection", the precedent of the first comment selection in the literary world; "After the suspension, he also founded and edited" China Hot Literature ", and promoted the component and new literary works, which became the focus of attention inside and outside the literary industry for a while. I have been involved to varying degrees of compilation work and some editing work edited by Yan Gang, and participants and witnesses. I think that Yan Gang's many unique contributions in literary editing and literary "selection" may not be inferior to his outstanding achievements in literary criticism, at least the twin peak confrontation, dividing the autumn color. Seeing these two aspects, Yan Gang's role in the field of contemporary literature naturally highlights it, which is both unique and important.

Lev Tolstoy once said: "No matter who the artist describes: saints, robbers, emperors, servants, we are looking for, just see the soul of the artist himself."It is suitable for people to read all art works, especially for prose works that read "My Handwriting My Heart".Yan Gang's "I am still alive", "innocence, vividness, body temperature", in memory of people, in the text and artistic art, the mouth is stunned, and the heart pays each other.undoubtedly.Dare to tell the truth, to tell the truth, just right, unruly, let people see the image and spirit of a strict and righteous, righteous, steep knowledgeable literati.Therefore, his "I am still alive", like his other writings, will stay, which will not only be "alive" that Yan Gang, who is "ninety of the year", also becomes the "life", but also becomes the Yan Gang of "his words is true".
