Chapter 333: A Small Scene Under the Moon
Chapter 333 "A Small Scene Under the Moon"
Ye Li didn't expect the proposition to come out so quickly, but at this moment, a scorching heat surged in his heart.
It was the last threshold on his literary path.
No matter what kind of proposition, he will also have a decisive battle with Shen Jun.
But at this time, Chen Ruying's words changed sharply and said, "It's just ......"
"But what?" Ye Li was stunned.
"Someone has already challenged Shen Jun, and that person is not a domestic writer." Chen Ruying said softly: "That person said that he would take next year's Nobel Prize in Literature into his arms, and he would not give Shen Jun a chance." ”
"Who is that man?"
Chen Ruying said: "That person is Ruojun 3,000. ”
Ye Li couldn't help but move in his heart.
What's going on here?
He quickly searched through the Internet and soon found out this news about Ruojun's three thousand.
This Ruojun Sanqian is a writer in Western France, three years ago in a selection of Western French writers, he was cut by Shen Jun by a slight margin, thus ranking second, and this incident has also caused countless people to discuss, after all, the selection of writers in Western France, the champion fell into the hands of other countries, which is undoubtedly a major humiliation.
So at that time, he swore that one day he would surpass Shen Jun and take back all the honor that belonged to him.
And Ye Li also found that this Ruojun 3,000 is not simple, since his debut at the age of twelve, he has published more than a dozen works one after another, each of which has a significant influence in Western France, and can be said to be the banner of Western French literature!
It can be said that he single-handedly achieved the current literary status of Western France.
Such a status is not beyond Ye Li's reach.
Ye Li flipped through his works and read them.
It's just that slowly, Ye Li's complexion changed a little.
Because on Ruojun Sanqian's Weibo, there was a message recently, thinking that Huaxia was a hero of the time, which made Ye Li famous. And he is mostly dismissive of Ye Li's works. For example, "Dragon Family" and "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" were criticized as worthless on the other party's Weibo.
Seeing this, Ye Li's gaze became cold.
This person - he definitely has to fight it well!
"Then in this competition, it will be Shen Jun and me. And this man's competition! Ye Li's heart became hot.
"But the level of the enemy is indeed not low, and it cannot be underestimated! You must know that the other party is the banner of Western French literature, and his strength and fame are no less than mine, and this person has been praised by the whole world as a new generation of writers! ”
Ye Li solemnized, his eyes flickered: "Since the other party criticizes me so much, then I also want to be courteous!" ”
"Also, make an appetizer for this literary battle!"
Ye Li's mind flashed with countless articles, and then he thought of the culture of Xiangxi, and in an instant, all his thoughts were only three words: "Shen Congwen!" ”
Shen Congwen is the one who has written the most books among modern writers. Even the pure writer who is closest to the Nobel Prize in Literature in modern and contemporary literature, is the absolute representative of the Beijing School of fiction, with a unique Miao and Han blood and unremitting pursuit of the mysterious Xiangxi, he occupies a unique and important position in the entire history of Chinese literature, writing the wonderful form of rural life. It enriches modern and contemporary literature.
It can be said that his works are incomparable literary classics!
And this person is also Ye Li's favorite writer! Not one of them!
Ye Li liked his works the most in his previous life, and he couldn't put it down, but it was a pity that in the impetuous era of later generations, there were very few people who liked this kind of novel.
Ye Li wanted to satisfy this regret in his heart.
And more importantly, Shen Congwen's works are enough to express the most Chinese connotation!
And Ye Li has never written works similar to him before, because Ye Li's connotation is insufficient, and it is not enough to control his works.
But after a series of creations. After writing "John. Christopher", while writing "Love Life", Ye Li felt that he could start to try and carry out the forbidden area of the highest light in his own writing.
Of course, Ye Li is still far from writing Shen Congwen's masterpiece "Border City", and what Ye Li has to do now is to do it. is to try to write a short story by Shen Congwen "A Small Scene Under the Moon" first.
This "Little Scene Under the Moon" is one of Shen Congwen's masterpieces, and it is a poignant elegy for the love of young men and women in Xiangxi in the old era, which caused a huge sensation when it was published and was widely circulated among young readers.
"Let this be the beginning of this battle." Ye Li's eyes flashed with light.
He pondered, after a long period of thought. Finally, I typed a line on the computer.
"On the eighth day of the first month, the moon was half round, and it hung in the sky very early...... The soft white moonlight drew a clear outline of the stone bunker located on the top of the mountain, and the shadow of the bunker lay horizontally on the slope, like the shadow of a giant. At the gap in the bunker, on the moonlit side, leaning on the only son of the owner of the village, Fuyou; The son blessed by the god of Wu leaned against the stone wall, looked at the half-regular crescent moon, and smiled and thought about the bitterness and joy of life. ”
“…… People really deserve to live, because everything is so interesting, the war between people, the war between hearts, and the result is so interesting. It is no wonder that there are stories of heroes chasing the sun and the moon. For it would be more interesting if the sun and the moon could ask for a pause where they would stop. ”
Writing this, Ye Li felt a burst of warmth.
This work is a romantic work, full of strong Xiangxi scenery, although this work is a little sad, but like a flying beautiful hazy dream, leading people to carry out a forgotten cottage that is neglected by human beings.
And the rest of the story is even more exciting.
"The story goes like this: The first xx man, when he used his strength and wisdom to obtain all the happiness of the world, he still felt insufficient, and the greedy heart and the power of his natural talent made him go boldly to chase the sun, to find the moon, to conquer the gods who are in charge of these things, and to compel them to go a little slower on those who have love and happiness, and to go on a little faster when they have lost their love and are eaten away by sorrow and disappointment. As a result, though the greedy man caught up with the sun, he died of thirst because of the heat of the sun, and he died of thirst in the great land of the west. ”
The story is very simple, it is "praise the father day by day". Everyone knows it. However, Shen Congwen used his writing to make a unique elaboration, making the story full of humanity, romance, and flavor.
Such details. Such a style, eloquently, even if there is no plot, just such a story is enough to make many people deeply like.
Then the story continues, and under Ye Li's pen, the heroine slowly reveals her peerless style: "Near him, there is a bunch of white things. It was a girl who rested her beautiful head with long hair scattered on the young man's lap and used it as a pillow to fall asleep silently...... Eye. The nose, the ears, the small mouth that produces the fountain of happiness, and the small swirls of the subtlely rounded cheeks, as the natives call the nest of the hidden kiss. There is no place where God does not necessarily mean that it is a work that God intended to do. A smile, a glance, a turn of the side, there is a kind of divinity in between. God cooperated with the devil to create such a woman, and he had to serve her in the same way that God and the devil had to serve her, so as not to wronged the creature. ”
Writing this, Ye Li felt a deep amazement.
It's a world that's stunningly beautiful. It's unbearable to disturb.
And with the literary skills he has improved through such a long period of creation, he can't find any flaws in this article, and he pondered it dozens of times, but it is difficult to change it word by word.
"One point is too fat, one point is too thin......
This made Ye Li suddenly feel a deep sense of powerlessness.
Such a text, with their current strength. If you can barely control it, the connotation of "Border City" is not what you can write at present, right?
It has been a long time since he read Shen Congwen's works, and his words have always been very light, Ye Li remembers that every time he reads, he always turns the page slowly without hurrying. However, such a light and elegant, it makes people feel a very beautiful realm, as if entering a fairyland in a dream, and they can't extricate themselves.
Ye Li continued to write, writing about the scene of a teenager and a girl falling in love affectionately.
The singing voice of the owner of the village can be used as a cradle for the peace of the girl's soul, and the girl caters to his music and sings a voice that makes the soul embrace.
But as he continued to write, Ye Li slowly became a little worried.
Because there are three or four thousand words of the plot part of the novel, there are very few contradictions and conflicts in it, only beautiful text expressions, and only the foil of that beautiful artistic conception.
The words are certainly beautiful, and in Shen Congwen's era, similar words like this are highly respected by readers, just like Xu Zhimo's prose, but this may not be appreciated by readers in Ye Li's era.
You must know that in commercialization, plot conflict is put first.
Ye Li's worry in his heart couldn't help but be stronger, he was worried that this paragraph would be criticized by readers.
"So do you revise it, or do you insist on Shen Congwen's writing?"
Ye Li hesitated.
He continued to write, and finally got to the conflicting part of the plot.
"Because my father also loves me, if he knows about this, he will deal with me according to the rules of the xx people. If I am bound by ropes and thrown into the eye of the earth, there will be forty-eight baskets of ropes in that place that will not be able to reach the end, and I will not be able to find a way to see you when I am dead or a ghost, and I will not be able to discern the direction when I am alive and dreaming. ”
"Girls don't lie, and it's the habit of the people that a woman is allowed to marry the first man when she falls in love with the first man. If this rule is violated, the woman is often tied to her back with a small stone mill, or sunk into a pool, or thrown into a hole in the ground. ”
Writing this, Ye Li has forgotten the contradiction in his heart just now, and is completely immersed in this story.
He felt the horror, he felt the gaffe.
In backward places, many races have such a style, for example, the right of the first night is exercised by the patriarch, and Ye Li's favorite classic movie "Brave Heart" is a story that spreads out because of such a theme.
Is it so contemptible? Such a rule? Ye Li thought of what a tragedy it was that those girls couldn't be united with the people they loved, but had to hand over their first night rights to strangers?
And in this novel, the same is the kind of family rule, the first man can get a woman's chastity, but never get her love, and the one who wants to stay with her will have to watch her first time become someone else's pleasure. Especially those who are sensible and sensible, fall in love with a certain woman, if they know that she is still a virgin, they will also do their best to find a dutiful lover first, and then marry the woman.
True love, however, is often a union of divine will. Girls are always willing to give their hearts to a boy they love, so there are often many people who sacrifice under such laws.
Writing this, Ye Li felt his heart trembling a little.
Such a beautiful story, such a beautiful two people. The two people gifted by God, even if one of them is the only son of the patriarch, cannot escape such a bondage.
So where do they go from here?
Ye Li suddenly realized that Shen Congwen was really lonely, how terrible the damage of the feudal customs in the old Xiangxi area to human nature was, and such a primitive and natural beautiful life was so tortured.
However, it was the poignancy of the pen and the delicate details that deeply shocked Ye Li. I remember the first time Ye Li read this novel. It's just fascinating.
"Such a work is natural and seamless...... Ye Li suddenly felt that his previous doubts were all wrong, such a work, why should he change it in order to accommodate this era? In this day and age. There is also a need for something unique with a fresh and classical twist.
In the literary world, even if there is commercial literature, even if commercial literature gets the greatest benefits, there are still a hundred flowers blooming, and there is still room for other novels.
"Then, let Shen Congwen's works set off his unique charm in this world."
Ye Li thought so firmly.
Then he wrote about the ** of the novel. He wrote about the thoughts of the hero and heroine in the novel, about their struggle for the world, and in such a situation, they were infatuated with each other, and finally gave their all for each other and got each other's strength. Got the love of the other person.
The two of them fainted, silent, and hoarse in a tremble.
Ye Li showed a gentle smile. Because such a story is very holy and represents the hope in the hearts of countless people.
But at the same time, Ye Li knew that the two were about to face a tragic fate.
They live in a world where marriage is allowed. Don't fall in love.
They can't change that fact.
They had the idea that they would go far away, far away to the sun.
They thought about it for a long time, but they couldn't think of a place that could accommodate the two of them. Because they were ethnic minorities, in the environment at that time, the Han people in the south would kill them when they saw them, while in the west were the endless barren mountains, where the tigers and leopards were, and in the north was the ground occupied by 300,000 native people, and every village was the same law. And only the east is where the sun and the moon are located......
Ye Li couldn't help but be deeply worried about them.
How long can you escape?
Is fate predestined after all?
In such a situation, the heroes and heroines of the novel find their way out.
Then Ye Li wrote to the final ending of the story:
"The only way to overcome fate is death, and to overcome everything is only possible with death. The fairest world is not on the ground, but in the air and underground, and heaven has a limited status. ”
"The only son of the owner of the village smiled happily when he thought of another world."
He asked the girl if she would like to travel to a place where she would have to go and never return. The girl thought for a moment, looked up at the moon that had just emerged from the clouds, and then lay down in the arms of the little village owner, closed her eyes, and waited for the man to decide on the kiss of death. ”
"The only son of the owner of the village, took out the knife he was wearing, and on the hollow knife handle inlaid with gems, took out a poison the size of a sycamore seed from the **, put it in his mouth, let the medicine melt, and sent half of it to the girl's mouth. The two happily swallowed the medicine of the same fate, smiled, and slept on the stone bed paved with withered wildflowers, waiting for the drug to strike. ”
"Yue'er is hidden in the clouds."
wrote "The full text is over", Ye Li had a faint melancholy in his heart.
"The moon on the eighth day of the first month is half round," from the beginning it was destined not to be a night with a full moon, people are worth living, but when they really face the war between people and hearts, they finally find that "the only way to overcome fate is death."
But even when they died, they died happily. This is the only thing that makes people brilliant in the text. They are voluntary, which is a reflection of their inner soul.
Perhaps Ye Li read this novel when he was a teenager, moved by the emotion of its story and the charm of its words, but after more than 30 years of precipitation in his previous life, Ye Li already had a different feeling when he read this article again.
Shen Congwen's works have made such an ancient city as Phoenix, and countless people have gone to the ancient city to find such a shadow because of his "Border City".
However, Shen Congwen was a writer who was unfairly treated in the history of literature, and in his later years, he could only devote himself to the study of ancient services, and no important literary works were published.
With such a heart, I can write such a human nature, but unfortunately it is completely withered.
His Xiangxi is no longer there.
According to Ma Yueran, if Shen Congwen had not died in 1988, he would have won the Nobel Prize in Literature that year.
But at least, there are still many people who remember him, like Ye Li at this moment, with a warm heart, missing his words, hoping that his story can cause amazement in another world.
"Then, let me follow his mission and let his work get the credit he deserves!"
Thinking of this, Ye Li's gaze became hot.
That writer named Ruojun Sanqian, you yourself feel unbeatable, you want to challenge Shen Jun, then please step through my pass before this!
You are the banner of Western France, you represent the supreme position of the literary world of Western France, and you think that my works are useless, so will this article of mine make you feel a pure Chinese power?
Like a tiger like a mountain, like a moon like light!
