Chapter 349: When is a woman the most beautiful?
The admiration of Shen Jun's "War and Peace" on the Internet has reached an extremely crazy level, and even Jin Wenjun believes that this book can be said to have written all the Chinese culture, the Xiangxi style, and the various changes in the past few eras, which is simply unparalleled.
And again, one of the judges who was in the Nobel Prize selection applauded the book deeply.
This judge is a native of China, and he is also the only Chinese who has become a judge of the Nobel Prize, and he has the supreme authority of criticism in China.
At this moment, he even claimed that this is a treasure that belongs to Chinese culture, and for decades or even centuries, no work will surpass it.
For a while, the people who supported Shen Jun on the Internet were boiling, because according to this statement, this work representing the highest outstanding work in China will inevitably be closest to the Nobel Prize, and even win this year's Nobel Prize!
The people who have supported Shen Jun for so many years are simply shouting like crazy.
Although the Chinese culture is quite strong, no one has won the Nobel Prize. Because there were two people who had such an opportunity, but when their works were sent for selection, they all passed away that year, so it was impossible to comment on the Shaolin abbot after the 80s.
However, this kind of admiration undoubtedly makes readers who like Ye Li uncertain.
You must know that Ye Li's previous works are so classic, "John. Christopher" and "The Idiot" can be said to lead the works of the new era, and even Ye Li's work won the Finnish Yuan Award, which originally made them think that Ye Li's work was bound to win the Nobel Prize this time.
"War and Peace" came out of nowhere. It makes them feel a deep sense of crisis.
They believe that Ye Li is omnipotent. They believed that Ye Li was invincible.
Thereupon. There is polarization on the web.
And as time went on, such arguments became more and more intense.
However, at this moment, Ye Li didn't know the situation on the Internet at all, he had already seen everything he wanted to see in Xiangxi at the moment.
Xiangxi was not originally a suitable place to write lyric poetry. In the early days, the perennial garrison, the bandit troubles for many years, the Gu poison of the Miao people, and the corpse chase of the Chenzhou people were all different from other places.
But Shen Congwen's pen. But it's another world.
In addition to "Border City", there is also one of his "Xiangxing Essays", which records Shen Congwen's observations.
After seeing the ancient style of Xiangxi and the beauty of those ancient phoenix cities, Ye Li walked on the bridge by the stream, and suddenly had a unique body taste.
Shen Congwen's prose is generally only three or four thousand words, and he writes very patiently, mainly writing about people and things, and rarely writing about scenes, his pen. I have never seen anything vulgar, such as the coffin shop in the city. There are teahouses, taverns, rice walks, monks, Taoists, etc., all of which he writes with a mysterious taste, but the most important thing in his writing is to reveal his concern for the fate of people.
I remember mentioning in the novel that he met a girl in a stilted building, and the girl opened a velvet shop, and he often went to the store to buy things whenever he had the opportunity, which was actually useless to himself. But the girl was just like him, and probably liked him. However, he did not pierce it all. Years later, he returned to that place, to that street, to see the shop, and the warmth in his heart.
As a result, the shop is still there, and the owner of the shop is actually his friend, but he is very old, because he is addicted to smoking, and at the same time the seller is still a girl who looks like the girl before, but her hair is tied with white velvet, which means that someone in the family is dead, and the death is nothing more than the girl named "Cuicui" before.
All this was embarrassing, but Shen Congwen didn't tell the other party his identity in the end, he couldn't help it.
What kind of strength should I have to endure it? remembers that Shen Congwen said about this: "I have to be silent and have to endure." ”
Ye Li once again flipped through "A Little Scene Under the Moon", and once again felt Shen Congwen's novels and prose, such as showing the roughness and holiness of love in Xiangxi, writing about the private meeting of two young men and women under the big Nanmu after the rain, turning love into a beautiful scene, and also such as Ye Li's favorite "Laba Porridge", which embodies his natural philosophy, and changes back to the call of natural perfection of human nature, such as those sweet and greasy feelings that make children who are beginners call their fathers, children who can go out to call foreign cars, and old children with many white beards on their mouths.
In today's ubiquitous hustle and bustle, such scenes allow us to hear the pure sighs he constructed in the text, sprinkling the beauty of the countryside to every corner. I remember that the writer Wang Zengqi once commented: In China, in such a chapter, apart from Lu Xun, who else has higher achievements than him? And such works are like Lu Xun said, the more democratic the more acceptable it can be to the world.
At this moment, Ye Li deeply experienced the stubborn and difficult struggle at the bottom of Xiangxi's life.
It is not so much that "Border City" is the culmination of everything, but that under "Border City", there is the essence of all Shen Congwen's works.
Ye Li suddenly realized that even some insignificant details in "Border City" also experienced the most different style.
This is Hemingway's "iceberg theory", which seems to only reveal the tip of the iceberg, when in fact seven-eighths of everything is hidden under the iceberg and is not written.
Ye Li was shocked for a while.
It is precisely because of walking to these places that Ye Li understands these truths better.
He had always felt that Shen Congwen's writing was quite narrow, and his writing style was not atmospheric enough, but now he realized that there were so many cultural connotations under the iceberg.
Therefore, Cuicui in "Border City" will be passed down through the ages.
This not very beautiful girl has been remembered by countless people and infatuated by countless people.
"When is a woman the most beautiful?"
"It's when she doesn't think she's beautiful."
It is this kind of cuicui that makes the customs of Xiangxi known to the world, and makes the whole world fascinated by this place of Xiangxi style, wandering and looking for countless times.
How powerful is the power of oneself to change the place.
And Shen Congwen did it.
Ye Lineng followed Shen Congwen's trajectory and suddenly felt very happy.
He felt that he could finally put pen to paper and write "Border City".
After such a long time of grinding, he is even confident that he can see higher and go further on the shoulders of "Border City".
Because at this moment, there is a mountain in front of him that seems to be impassable.
That big mountain is "War and Peace". (To be continued......)
