In the Starlight Cultural and Creative Salon Group of the Hometown Federation of Literary and Art Circles, I met Lu Banren.

Lu Banren is his pen name.

The reason why he took this pen name is that Lu Banren wrote in the article "There is a Lu Banren in Heihe": "The main reason is that the trauma left by the 'movement' on people's hearts at that time was too heavy... But in the end, because he was in that specific era and that specific environment, it was impossible to jump outside the years to survive, so he took the pen name of 'Lu Banren', one is to warn himself, and the other is to leave a historical commemoration. ”

So, I knew his intention to name "Lu Banren", and relieved the doubts in my heart.

Lu Banren, real name Ni Xiaochun, 64 years old. Originally from SD, he moved to HLJ's hometown of Tuanjie Commune with his elders, and in 1985, he was transferred to HH City and served as the director of the cultural center. Retired home, writing poetry, focusing on prose.

In June of this year, after I joined the salon group of the Hometown Federation of Literary and Art Circles, I chatted with my friends, and Ni Xiaochun also joined the chat.

Later, in an occasional online chat, he told me that he had collected and published a book, with a special mention of the recently published book "Selected Essays of Ni Xiaochun", which was on sale.

In the past month, Ni Xiaochun has asked me to go to his QQ space to read his prose.

On October 18, I entered his space "Diary" and began to read his prose, and by October 24 I had read all 307 essays in his space.

After reading Ni Xiaochun's prose, it is natural to reminisce, chew its aftertaste, and feedback it into a defined idea in your own mind.

The whole prose in Ni Xiaochun's space gives me the feeling that it enables me to read it tirelessly, which has a certain appeal.

This is perhaps the first time in my life that I have read so many essays by one person in one sitting.

Ni Xiaochun's prose gives me the following feelings:

A small hunter in the big country

Ni Xiaochun's prose covers a wide range of topics, from the country to the family, no matter how big or small, they are all within the scope of writing.

From this, it can be seen that he cares about family affairs, state affairs, and everything.

big state affairs, such as the unprecedented Cultural Revolution, current affairs ("The Twisted Melon is Not Sweet"), and as small as the childlike innocence of his childhood ("Sticky Knowledge"). In particular, he also writes about amorous friendships abroad ("Little Russian Girl").

The specific objects described are also extensive, including people, things, mountains, rivers, flowers, trees, buildings, insects, birds, animals, and historic sites......

Every grass and tree, every person and thing in time and space is the object of his writing, and he writes with taste, which shows that Ni Xiaochun's talent is extraordinary.

No matter how big or small, there is emotion and reason

The big and small things in Ni Xiaochun's prose are all full of his emotions and contain his philosophy.

Some of these emotional expressions and philosophical interpretations are full of true feelings through the description of characters or things in the text ("Mother's Clothes", "The Lament of Water Chestnut Bubbles"), and some are direct confessions ("Half-human Miscellaneous Words", "Gossip Little Three", "The Defect of Beauty").

In this way, different forms of lyrical reasoning show his profound ability to express his personal emotions and philosophies.

The emotions are sincere and philosophical

Ni Xiaochun's prose, any one, not only has lyrical implications, but also the lyrical feelings are all sincere and intense, and the reasoning contained in them is all profound and thorough.

It expresses the author's love and hatred, and contains profound and thorough truths, showing that the author's cognitive level is extraordinary.

On October 13, 2011, Ni Xiaochun's "Old Boat" was also touching.

Through the origin and collection of "Old Boat" to the destruction of the old ship, the description of each stage is simply a confession, which is to express his respect and love for his grandfather, his deep reflection on the suffering of the old society and the whipping of the suffering.

The expression of that emotion is not only through the description of people and things, but also through the direct confession: "Grandpa and the old ship are gone." In my mind, there seems to be a lot of things missing from heaven and earth, and there is no vigor and brilliance in the past. ”

This ordinary language expresses the author's deep feelings of regret.

"Love is warmth, thoughtfulness, longing, reluctance, and heart-to-heart care. When one heart loses another, love becomes pain, and even hatred. Therefore, it is often the deeper the love, the longer the pain. (Miscellaneous Tales of the Half-Man, 24)

The above paragraph is the author's interpretation of human love, pain and hate, which profoundly and accurately expounds the dialectical unity and mutual transformation relationship between love and hate, love and pain.

The author's philosophy, in addition to being straightforward, is also contained in the description of things:

"Clover": "I know that there are many beautiful legends about four-leaf clover. It is said that the four-leaf clover was brought to the world by Eve from the heavenly Garden of Eden. Leaving the Garden of Eden is a kind of helplessness and abandonment, and bringing the four-leaf clover from heaven to earth is a kind of yearning and a kind of pursuit. Although the pursuit is not always noble, it is always brave. A life without pursuit must be a life with few flashes. ”

This narrative and argumentative sentence is full of philosophy, people must have pursuit, to be brave, this philosophy is explained reasonably, appropriately and profoundly.

Ethereal elegance and authenticity

In Ni Xiaochun's prose, there are both ethereal descriptions and real narratives.

The ethereal description has an elegant taste, and the real narrative has an easy style.

The ethereal mentioned here refers to the fact that in Ni Xiaochun's prose, it is not a specific and detailed description of one person and one thing, but a leaping space leap, and a description of the real thing like a dragonfly.

In "The Love of the Boundary River", the jumping dragonfly writes about the two banks of the Jiejiang River-lights-river-mountain fog-sails-crows and sparrows-sun-river wind-dusk-distant mountains-rainy days-river embankments-moon-people-dreams-summer scenes-people on both sides of the river.

These objects are not described in detail by the author, but they are all elegantly written, not at all vulgar and vulgar, giving people a refreshing and pleasant feeling.

In Ni Xiaochun's prose, most of them are still real narratives and descriptions, and the writing of the objects is not subtle or subtle, but is a real description and approachable.

"Old House", "Cloth Love", "Twisted Melon is Not Sweet", all of them are like this.

In the easy description, it gives people a sense of authenticity and credibility, but its simplicity is not the same as low and vulgar, and the writing is very natural and smooth, and it also has the ability to touch the heart and make people cry.

The style of writing is simple and the language is exquisite

The 307 essays in Ni Xiaochun's "Diary", except for a few chapters with charming styles such as "The Love of the Boundary River", "Traces of Dream Flowers", and "Picking Up the Rhyme of the Yalu River", most of them are simple, natural, and smooth articles, especially the author's childhood stories, which basically belong to this category.

These, probably because the author is writing about those real and ordinary trivial things.

In general, there is no overflowing color, but a storytelling, without decoration, with the fragrance of the earth, the childlike joy of childhood, the nostalgia of the homeland, and the warmth of the family.

These simple articles are not vulgar, not rough, not shallow, but have a touching and profound, fresh and indifferent taste.

Although Ni Xiaochun's prose is simple and simple, the author's choice of words and sentences is still very particular.

"Jiejiang Love" writes "Jiejiang...... With this name, history has embarrassment, human beings have estrangement, and Dajiang has the awkwardness of two genera. ”

"March Feeling": "The sky in March is so moist, moist that people want to be in the wrong, the sunshine is golden into the artistic conception of dreams, the white clouds linger into the wings of reverie, the spring breeze is full of light green willow branches, the river is bubbling with the remnants of the old ice, and the handsome mountains and rivers suddenly increase a little coquettish, a little tempting. ”

These beautiful images and rhythmic words all present magnificent and colorful colors, and vividly portray the shape and spirit of the object described, like a strong fragrance that refreshes people's hearts......

It is obvious that in the article, the author's use of a large number of words, bold wild words, and majestic sentence formation are all well descriptive and have received excellent results.

Therefore, Ni Xiaochun's prose language is concise, wonderful, exquisite, and exquisite.

Enlightenment is deafening

Ni Xiaochun's prose has the charm of enlightening people, deafening, enlightening, and shocking dreams.

In the article "Letting Go is a Kind of Mind", "On the long road of life, many people often feel that they are tired of living. Why? If you think about it carefully, the main thing is that there are too many things on your back, and you don't put down many things that should be put down in time, and you are reluctant to go, and you are reluctant to give up. …… The body is light and agile, and the body can go far. ”

Isn't this eloquent ordinary remark very practical? How can it not make people suddenly open up, wake up from a big dream, be convinced, and give up and move forward lightly?

In short, Ni Xiaochun's prose is very exciting, and there is a natural temptation for people, attracting you to read it, read one, and want to read the next one, even if you finish reading it, you still feel that it is not enjoyable.

After reading Ni Xiaochun's prose, it is like drinking a cup of sweet wine, feeling relaxed and happy, and tasting a cup of famous tea, and suddenly feeling refreshed, which is what the Qing Dynasty people said, there are 3,650 pores on the body, all of which are ironed smoothly.

Ni Xiaochun's prose is soul-stirring, and the aftertaste is endless!
