Chapter 358 357 "Brother, you still understand me"
Fang Minghua also noticed it, with a smile on his face.
Mo Yan is here.
"Editor Fang." Mo Yan greeted.
“Mo Yan, come in and sit down.”
Upon hearing that it was Mo Yan, Li Hongying, who was sitting on the sofa, quickly stood up and looked at the man curiously.
I was just discussing the novel he wrote, and then I arrived?
It turns out that just today, the Chinese Writers Association held the 1986-86 National Outstanding Short and Novella Awards Ceremony at the Great Hall of the People. As the winners of the outstanding novellas, Yu Hua and Mo Yan both attended.
The two met at the Xijing Writers Symposium last year and had a good relationship after living in the same room. While chatting in the middle of the ceremony, Mo Yan heard that Fang Minghua was teaching in Luyuan recently and decided to follow Yu Hua to visit.
"Let me pour you tea." Fang Minghua was about to find a cup when Li Hongying, who was standing next to him, said quickly: "Teacher Fang, let me pour you water."
Fang Minghua was not polite either.
"The tea is in the bookcase."
Li Hongying picked up the thermos and poured a glass of water for each of Yu Hua and Mo Yan. Mo Yan took the water glass and said quickly, "Thank you."< br>
"Let me introduce to you, her name is Li Hongying, she is also a student in the workshop, Mo Yan. Just now he analyzed the article "Happiness" you wrote."
Hearing the other party analyze himself Mo Yan put down the tea cup in his hand and said sincerely: "Comrade Li Hongying, after reading this novel, do you have any opinions? Feel free to mention it."
"Comrade Mo Yan, you're welcome." Li Hongying was an outspoken girl. She had nowhere to sit, so she simply sat by Fang Minghua's bed and looked at Mo Yan and said.
“In terms of writing techniques, this novel is very well written. I just told Teacher Fang that you adopt the second person and collective narrative perspective of “we”. Such writing techniques are very rare. The advantage of it is that it allows readers to face the protagonist’s violent emotions and tragic life, which looks particularly shocking. In addition, the change of time and space, the jump of persons, and the almost uncontrolled stream of consciousness are all very good now, but..."< br>
At this point, Li Hongying suddenly changed the topic: "But I really don't like the description of some characters in your novel, especially the description of the mother! Look at this paragraph." Li Hongying said and picked up the " "Yanhe" opened the magazine and read a few sentences but couldn't stop reading.
“Tell me, are you blaspheming the image of mother?!”
Facing Li Hongying’s question, Mo Yan looked very serious, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea silently. But there was no immediate rebuttal.
Yu Hua next to him couldn't sit still. He had read this novel!
"Li Hongying, although you said you read this novel written by Mo Yan and seemed to analyze it just now, I don't think you understood this article at all!" At this time, Yu Hua was not as usual as usual. He looked carefree, but looked very serious.
"Oh? Yu Hua, you said, you said I didn't understand this article, then I want to hear your opinion?" Li Hongying retorted.
"Let me take the issue of you blaspheming mother. In our Chinese, it is almost impossible to find another word, a word that can replace or surpass "mother". The two words "mother" The word "mother" in Chinese shows her supremacy. Perhaps because of her superiority, the meaning of the word mother has become more and more abstract. She is often synonymous with a country, a nation, and a famous river. "
"Isn't it?" Li Hongying asked.
"Yes, but that's not all! Mother is also a human being first. In "Happiness", the mother described by Mo Yan is a mother who has declined. It can be said that all people have the opportunity to witness the decline of their mother, who once protected her. Our mother needs us to protect her. When crossing the road with constant traffic, it is no longer her holding our hands, but us holding her hands. "It is this kind of mother that makes us have mixed feelings. Only then can we have sympathy and compassion, so that we can give our love endlessly."
"I admit that what you said makes sense! Mother should not be described in the novel like that! It is blasphemy!" Li Hongying insisted on her opinion.
"What you said doesn't sound wrong, but it's a pity that you only read this paragraph." The corner of Yu Hua's mouth curled up, as if there was a trace of disdain.
"The fundamental problem for you, including many people, is that you separated from the complete narrative of "Joy", isolated it out of context, and then thought that Mo Yan had blasphemed his mother!"
"When a girl looks at us with her beautiful eyes, we will all be moved by the beauty of her eyes. But when she takes out her eyes and shows them to us, we will be scared to death."
< br>"And you dug this paragraph out of the narrative of "Happiness" just like you dug out a girl's eyes!"
Yu Hua changed his usual careless manner and spoke sharply.
Li Hongying suddenly stopped talking and fell into deep thought.
Mo Yan next to him looked at Yu Hua with a grateful expression, as if to say: "Brother, you still understand me."
Fang Minghua never participated in the debate between the two.
As a teacher, the most correct way is to watch.
Seeing how the two were arguing, Fang Minghua intervened in time: "Okay, today's discussion is over. As the saying goes, there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers, and the same is true for this novel's understanding. That's it."
After that, Fang Minghua looked at his watch: "It's almost six o'clock now, Mo Yan." Fang Minghua looked at the other party: "Since we're here, let's finish the meal. I'll treat you."
After that, he said to Yu Hua and Li Hongying: "Let's go together, let's go to the free market."
"Okay." As soon as she heard that Fang Minghua was treating her, Li Hongying immediately felt better and asked Fang Minghua in a tentative tone.
"How about I call Chen Hong? She is from Shanghai and can't stand eating steamed buns every day."
Why are these two girls so inseparable?
Fang Minghua muttered in his heart, but agreed happily: "Okay, you can also call her, we will wait for you at the school gate.
"Okay, then I'll go. "Li Hongying ran out of the dormitory quickly.
The five of them were still in the same restaurant where they had dinner before. After everyone was seated, Fang Minghua said with a smile: "When I treat guests from now on, let me tell you a rule. You are not allowed to talk about literature while eating!"
Li Hongying just said Unconvinced by Yu Hua's retort, he was about to take this opportunity to argue again. Suddenly he heard Fang Minghua say this rule. He was stunned and blurted out: "Why?"
"Li Hongying, is it possible that in your case Is there only literature in the world?" Fang Minghua smiled.
This?
Li Hongying rolled her eyes and said immediately: "Okay, Teacher Fang, let's not talk about literature, let's drink!"
