Where the dream begins

Text/Mei Jie

As a person who has worked in Zhangjiakou for 22 years, I have left the most precious years of life on that land; as a writer, Zhangjiakou Daily (Zhangjiakou Evening News) is definitely my virginity of my literature ______ I believe The moment a small poem turned into a tissue in that newspaper, a literary dream had passed through the time and space of life, and began to fly without hesitation.

1

In August 1970, we were innocent and enthusiastic, simple and melancholy, and were sent to school as the last batch of "Stinky Lao Nine". We look like a group of lambs that are scattered in the junction zone of the Loess Plateau and the Mongolian Plateau. "咩" calls the kindness, sincerity, and warmth of the world -Zhangjiakou, who is outside the Saiwai, suddenly divided it to more than 1,300 college students, and then was then was taken away by Zhangjiakou. Disposal to the rural areas of Zhangjiakou to receive re -education for poor and middle peasants.

11 ignorant young men and women from Peking University, Beijing Agricultural University, Central University of Finance and Economics, Tianjin University, and Hebei Agricultural University have been assigned to a loess wall with a loess wall in Weixian, and Xiaoshan Village on the roof of the loess "accept the poor education of the poor", The name of the village is the stone pile. At that time, we were accompanied by corn, fruit forests, donkeys, hoes, sickle, and shepherds every day ... We rushed to seven or eight donkeys every day to the deep broken depths formed by the floods, and The donkey was silent at the bottom of the ditch. We put the straw hat under the pillow under our head. More than a dozen male and female students were arranged and lying in the grass gap in the grass gaps like that. I don't know where to go home?

When we stir only half a bucket of water at a time from a few deep wells, when we rushed the donkey car to buy back from the Grain Store of the Jijiazhuang Commune (the township at that time) When a catty corn noodles and two or two oils, when we do more than a dozen male and female students take turns to burn corn stuck corn cakes in the northern hoe large pot, when we are tuned, we go to Danan Shandong Xinghe to engage in "fighting and change", Hengshan six When the moon's cotton cotton is elegant in our innocence and false passion, we are so pious and flawlessly accepting the "re -education" of Xiaoshan Village in the north!

I was married to my northern man in Shishan Village in the north. My husband is my college class. We didn't even say anything in the first four years of college, but in the fifth year, we fell in love. Love made me accompany him to the poor and cold plug.

In March 1971, after we took a triangle money from the Jijiazhuang Commune of the labor exercise, we took a wedding certificate, and took the two of them to a house in a house -the village cadres in Shibu Village for us. People found an empty house of a farmer. There are no blessings, no rituals, no furniture, we only spent a few corners of the money to buy a carton installed with a sewing machine to install our tattered shirts, we just combined it! I firmly believe that I will marry this northern student in my life.

In the ancient courtyard courtyard of the old town of Weizhou, the blue brick and gray tiles in the ancient city of the ancient city, there is the style and charm of the old Beijing Courtyard -in the cold soil in the west of the courtyard, I gave birth to white and clean The son with a weighing eight pounds and two pounds opens his eyes and turns his eyes to look at the world! Two years and nine months later, I gave birth to my second son on the cold soil in the east of another courtyard, and gave birth to a son with a red light and weighing seven pounds and six pounds. Look at the son of the world!

From then on, day after day, I shuttled in the narrow alley in the ancient town of Weizhou, buying vegetables, buying food, buying coal, burning water, going to work, and sending my son to school.去医院给他们治病；在寒冷的冬天，我认识了北方的煤并学会了在铁炉子里把它们生着，炉子生着后，冰窖般的小屋便逐渐地暖和了起来；秋凉的时候， I learned pickled vegetables from my neighbor's aunt and sisters: thick celery stalks, huge and thick green peppers, bright red carrots, tender green mustard, and porcelain Yuan cabbage. Then put it in the dark and bright glaze tanks specially made in the Weizhou people. A few cylinders are enough for our family to eat for a whole winter. Later, the mother -in -law in the country came, and she determined that my pickled vegetables were more fragrant than her pickled. So that in today's rich supplies, when I think of Weizhou's sour pickled vegetables, I shed water. I always miss the years of poor, hard, trivial, and female years in Weizhou, Zhangjiakou.

Miss more? As a writing life, I always determined that I started the beginning of my literature on the land of Weizhou. The long days spent in Weizhou, the cold and hardships on the land, and all the joy and sorrows, including humiliation, forbearance, struggle, including noble, mean, labor, creation, etc. Nutrition.

I spent the most precious period of life on this land in Weixian. From graduating from college in August 1970, I was assigned to Weixian in March 1984. 14 years; in 1992, I transferred to Shancheng to Hebei Writers Association to engage in professional creation. In any case, the 25th to 47 -year -old is definitely a period of life in life. How can I forget and owe this time?

It should be said that I met the world in constant writing and looking back, and I was constantly writing and looking back. The process of my life was clear, and the youth of my life became clear. That newspaper is clear and want to come ...

In the 1980s, China ushered in the era of comprehensive recovery of literature and art. Scar literature and reflection literature shocked the minds of hundreds of millions of people with unprecedented power. I have done 10 years of economic work in the non -literary department, and a heart of humiliation, depression and eager to talk about is resurrected! In 1980, "Encounter" with his father's suffering life as a prototype was brought back by "People's Literature", "Yangtze River Literature" and "Contemporary", and I started the writing of poetry. I conclude that there is no strong fictional ability to write novels to become my barrier.

My husband did not work in the old town of Weizhou for 14 years. He was assigned to a straight coal mine. He only came back for two or three days a month to see me and my son. I suture all my thoughts and love in the days when I and my two sons depend on me. A 15 -degree low -power light bulb hangs down from the dome of the cave house, hangs into a small orange -yellow sun, and the two sons who illuminate the sleeping sleeping night and night are also illuminated by my poems fell on the draft paper. Essence

A small poem "Golden Dress" was born _________

Little poems are short and pure, with only 30 lines, but using 12 the same vocabulary "golden". That is really a "golden" dream to start wing! It is really a life that is grateful and reflected began to sprout!

I put Xiaoshi into the envelope and sent it to Zhangjiakou Daily. This is the first submission on my literature.

Today, I have become a writer published and published 33 books and more than 7 million words, but I can't forget the tension and hope of sending this 30 -line small poem. Shortly after the "June 1" Children's Day in 1981, I found that "Golden Dress" was published in the newspaper literary auxiliary publication (at that time each unit had a Zhangjiakou Daily)! As a writer, I have had the happiness and happiness of publishing or publishing works countless times, but I have never been able to forget the shock and surprise after the release of "Golden Dress" _________ I hold the newspaper of the published works. In the office, cheering, jumping, and rotating. The girl working in the same room looked at me kindly, smiling and envious.

In the following year, my poems, prose, and report literature in Poetry, Star Poetry, Poetry God "," Writer "," Prose "," People's Literature "," Great Wall "," Great Wall Literature " After publishing more than a hundred newspapers and periodicals across the country, I have a deep and shallow interaction with many of the responsibilities of my hundreds of works (ministry) works, but I can't forget a friendship with my debut. The blame of "Golden Dress" is Sun Xinmin. This is a name I know two months after the work was published.

The editorial style of the 1980s was too good and too nostalgic. At that time, the submission did not need to post a stamp. Cut off the corner of the envelope to mail it for free. Each newspaper editorial department receives the manuscripts sent by the post office every day. You know, the capacity of a sack can be over 200 catties of corn. The editors are sealing and reading the natural manuscripts every day, and they are used to reply to the author. After the publication of "Golden Dress", I did not wait for the editorial department to return the letter to the corner of the envelope and then sent a few poems. Let's write __________

Comrade Mei Jie:

I have dealt with your three drafts, and I have read all the letters. I don't know when you start writing poetry, and I don't know where you work. There is a good impression that your poems are in contact for the first time: your poems are good, cheerful and comfortable. From the perspective of a young mother, you are writing a child's life and are very distinctive. Observation is delicate, and there is a sense of time. I hope you can dig new themes and write better works. After pointing out the advantages and disadvantages of the poem draft twice, Sun Xinmin wrote again _________

Please pay attention to the draft. The draft should be as short as possible. Pay attention to the feelings of poetry. Don't lament too much. You must be clear (compared with obscure), upward, and inspire people's hearts.

The landing office is a red block seal "Zhangjiakou Daily Editorial Department of the Editorial Department", and the three words "Sun Xinmin" are signed at the lower end of the red block seal. The time was August 6, 1981.

After 38 years of time today, I found the letter from the editors and writers of nearly 500 newspapers and magazines in the country in the past year, and found the letter from my debut to the editor of Sun Xinmin and his later letters. After reading these simple letters, I felt that there was a ray of warm current flowing from the depths of the years; I saw the thin, handsome, black frame glasses, stood not far away and smiled to me; they started to deeply start deep; they started to deeply start deep; I miss the 1980s of the new literature.

As mentioned earlier, I always miss the years of poor, hard, trivial, and female years in Weixian.

I constantly wrote poetry and prose in this years.

For example, I wrote a lot of poems about my son: "Mom's Type", "Ah, Cloud", "Late at night, I guard my son's dream", "Children, if my mother loves you" ... I wrote a lot of people in Weizhou The thoughts on the land: "The Resume of Love", "South Bamboo", "On this land", "Old Childhood", "Niu Niu", "Examination Hall", "Rural Return", "Last Moon" ... These works in the 1980s in the 1980s Many articles have won very high awards inside and outside the province. For example, "On this land" won the first literary revitalization award in Hebei Province, and "Childhood Old Things" won the second "Writer Award" of Jilin Provincial Writers Association. The "Childhood Old Things", "That Pulse Blue Mountain Beam", "The Volumes of Love", "The Impression of Hepingxia", which were written and published outside the caste of that year, have been included in more than 240 literary selection and classic library in China so far, several articles, several articles, several articles, several articles The works are large, middle and elementary school Chinese textbooks, textbooks and reading books.

The cold land outside was the residence of letting my literature dream. In 1987, Beiyue Literature and Art Publishing House grandly published my first prose collection "The Resume of Love". The first printed 8,000 volumes were sold out, so that it was difficult for me to buy some books by myself. In 1989, when I went to Golmus in Qinghai to attend the prose seminar in the two provinces of Qingbei, I bought back the only two "Love Resumes" from Xinhua Bookstore, Xining City;

Today, when I wrote this text, I am very grateful to this virgin with 45 works in this one. There were 21 prose published on Zhangjiakou Daily. I have been surprised so far. What kind of support and support did this newspaper in Saiwai Shancheng give me? For many years, I have regarded my literature as a climbing of life for the mountains. I wrote in the poem "Women's Scenery": "When I first went up the mountain/woman saw the rocks on the top of the mountain, all flowers were blooming. /Woman is touched by tears "... For my creative life, who can say that the newspaper of Shancheng is not the peak veins of" rocks blooming "that I keep looking in?

So far, I have missed those newspaper who has been holding the mountains on the top of the mountains for many years: Du Yufa, Wu Deyuan, Yang Zhaoxiang, Sun Xinmin, Li Zhiqiang, Yang Binghai, Zhang Meihua ...

I miss the 1997 Zhangjiakou Evening News (the Zhangjiakou Daily was revised into the Evening News in 1993). The text of the "Mei Jie Proserity Symposium" was published in the front version of the color, and the graphic and text. Professional creation, but this newspaper that helps me grow up is still continuing to help;

I also missed in 2005. Zhang Xiumei, the editor of the evening newspaper of Su Mi, called and told me that Zhangjiakou Daqing River was about to store water. Xiumei knew there for decades there for decades. She asked me to write an article. She said me. Hearing this news must be felt. From Xiu Mei's phone, I seemed to hear the sound of the water of the river that had been dried up for more than half a century ... With gratitude and wishes, I wrote "The River in Dreams" ...

Miss more?

For a creative life that has passed a quarter of a century, perhaps the four seasons on the land of the land, and the distant sadness and warmth in the sadness and joy.
