Chapter 528 Good for the country and good for the people(3/3)
"Why is it not considered noble? I have watched "Parasite" and won the award without any difficulty. There is also "Enter the Master". It's a pity that such a good work really deserves an award, but you haven't participated in the solemn essay."
"Entering the Teacher" was published in 1989. According to the Mao Dun Literature Award's award rules, it will be counted until the fourth session. By then, Lin Chaoyang's works will no longer be included in the competition, and naturally he will have no chance to win the award.
The Zhuang Chongwen Literary Award also has a novel award, but Lin Chaoyang said from the beginning that he would not participate in this award.
Ma Feng's tone was full of regret, not like he was lying.
"Entering the Teacher" was first published in "Harvest" at the end of May last year. When it was first published, the response to the novel was not great.
It was not until more than two months later that word-of-mouth gradually fermented and it gained the attention of the literary world.
The theme of "Entering the Teacher" involves an in-depth exploration of life and death, a diverse examination of social occupations, and a true feeling of family affection. It naturally has a strong artistic and literary foundation, and has received high praise in the literary world.
People who are engaged in literary creation and literary criticism are simply unable to resist this type of work.
A critic wrote an article "A Glimpse of Life and Death in Daily Life" in Radar's "Literary News" in September last year. He wrote in a rare and extremely lyrical way:
"".——-In this last ritual of life, the master gives life to the corpse, leaving its most beautiful side in the world, soothing the severe pain and sorrow of life and death.
One can’t help but think of Rabindranath Tagore’s words, ‘Death is as quiet and beautiful as an autumn leaf’. The examiner is the creator of this ‘beauty’ and also the one who sees it off.”
This article resonated with many readers after it was published.
In addition to the novel's ability to naturally arouse empathy in terms of themes, the novel "The Examiner" is also a great strength in its beautiful writing. The light sadness and charm in the novel make people linger for a long time after reading the novel.
forget.
Aesthetics scholar Li Zehou became famous in the 1980s, and his influence is no less than that of the deceased aesthetics master Zhu Guangqian.
He wrote an article in "Yenjing Literature" last October titled "On
"Intrinsic Aesthetic Value".
The opinion in the article is that:
Lin Chaoyang made a bold attempt in "Enter the Master", using delicate and elegant text carving to create a beautiful artistic conception, which is very similar to Kawabata Yasunari's representative works "Snow Country" and "Thousand Cranes".
But at the same time, the novel is not blindly pessimistic and nihilistic like Kawabata Yasunari.
In the sad beauty and mysterious beauty of things created in "Enter the Master", there is a hidden vitality.
Sadness, simplicity, quietness, and loneliness give the work an intriguing artistic charm and a long aftertaste.
Comparing "Enter the Master" with "Snow Country", and comparing Lin Chaoyang with Kawabata Yasunari, this is undoubtedly high praise for Lin Chaoyang.
But Li Zehou's articles are relatively subtle, while some of Lin Chaoyang's emphasis in the literary world is more naked when they are praised.
For example, Zhejiang writer Li Hangyu, who attended the Suixian Conference and is one of the backbones of the root-seeking literature school,
He wrote in "Shanghai Literature" that:
Lin Chaoyang showed a completely different narrative rhythm in "Enter the Examiner" than in the past. Compared with the majestic and ups and downs style of "Crossing the Guandong", the narrative rhythm of "Enter the Examiner" is slow, steady, and free from contradictions.
Conflict is deliberately arranged.
But this does not hinder the brilliance of the novel itself. The story unfolds in a peaceful, quiet, and sad atmosphere, allowing readers to be deeply immersed in the story.
Savoring the emotions and artistic conception carefully is also a huge success, and this feeling is more unforgettable and lasting.
In the article, Li Hangyu made an in-depth comparison between "Enter the Master" and "Crossing Guandong", and finally came to a conclusion:
Chapter completed!
