043. Paying tribute to you
Gao Xiaobai said: "Russia and Japan are both nations with special personalities.
"Russia's geographical location is cold, so it is particularly combative; Japan has a narrow land area and many volcanic earthquakes, so it is very delicate and respects mourning.
"These two peoples are very special in art. Works that are special to their country, you can tell at a glance that they were written by people from their country.
"And Dolstewski and Haruki Kawabata have written their national character to the extreme."
Jupiter asked, "What books did they write?" β
Gao Xiaobai said: "Haruki Kawabata has written "Snow Country", "Ancient Capital", "A Thousand Cranes", "Norwegian Forest", "Kafka by the Sea", "Strange Bird Shapes", well...... And ......"
Yu Hua said: "There are also "Izu's Dancing Girl Short Story Collection" and "Dance! Dance! Dance! "The End of the World and the Cold Wonderland". β
Gao Xiaobai nodded: "Well, I still remember it well with Teacher Yu." β
Yu Hua then said: "Dolstewski, as I said earlier, he is even more heavyweight, because he has written: "War and Peace", "Anna Karenina", "Resurrection", "Crime and Punishment", "Idiot", "Demons", "The Karamazov Brothers". β
He went on to say: "Russian President A.S. Pushkin said this: If you don't know Dolstevsky, you don't know Russia. His position in Russia is exalted above that of Hemingway Faulkner in the United States. β
Jupiter asked, "What about Haruki Kawabata?" β
"Mixed reviews." Yu Hua said, "Haruki Kawabata's early works and later works are completely different styles. Works such as "Snow Country" are very 'Japanese' and extremely traditional, while the later works are more petty-bourgeois, more American, and less Japanese. β
"Oh." Jupiter didn't understand very well.
Yu Hua said: "In addition, the reason why he has mixed reviews in Japan is that he is very opposed to Japan's war of aggression. In the novel, he criticized the unjust war many times, so it aroused widespread resentment among Japanese right-wingers. β
Then, he smiled again and said, "However, his later novels sold exceptionally well and were bestsellers. β
Jupiter suddenly realized: "No wonder! Because he is Chinese, he criticizes the war in the book. β
"Maybe."
Gao Xiaobai put away the fan and said, "Actually, I should have thought that these four writers are the same person. β
Jupiter looked at him.
"You see, GarcΓa Borges's style is very similar to Hemingway Faulkner, and Haruki Kawabata often mentions Hemingway Faulkner's books in his books, and they both have a shadow of Tourstewski."
Jupiter nodded: "No wonder! β
Gao Xiaobai paused, and then said, "The only thing that is difficult to explain is, what is he doing with so many vests?" Wouldn't it be nice to write it yourself? β
Jupiter tilted his head and said, "yes." β
"It can't be to cheat the Nobel Prize prize, haha!" Gao Xiaobai joked.
After being quiet for a while, Yu Hua, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke:
"It's more like a writer constantly pushing himself and trying new styles. Travel around the world and interpret different civilizations in your own way. β
He closed his eyes, as if thinking about something, and then he opened them again.
This time, there seemed to be something different in his eyes.
Jupiter asked, "What do you mean?" β
"The more national literature is, the easier it is to go global," Yu Hua said, "because each nation is unique, and the geographical location and cultural environment of each place are completely different." β
"Appreciating these cultures that are different from your own culture is more conducive to introspection."
"It's like traveling, others say that tourism is to leave the place where you are tired of living and go to the place where others are tired."
"Often when you go to a place where others are tired of living, and after discovering the uniqueness of other places, you can better appreciate the uniqueness of your hometown."
Jupiter's eyes lit up: "So, the writer with many vests is understanding Huaguo by observing other civilizations?" β
"Yes," Yu Hua nodded, "he creates works from other cultures, with the ultimate goal of deriving the most unique parts of Chinese culture." β
"The reason why he keeps changing identities and covering himself with vests is because he doesn't want to become famous prematurely and lose his motivation to make progress."
"He depicts the lives of ordinary citizens, because he has been walking in the market to get the most vivid material."
Jupiter held his breath.
This is crazy.
"Does that sound like he lives to write?"
Yu Hua said: "To be precise, he lives to create the best works of China. β
Gao Xiaobai shook his fan beside him, shook his head and said:
"What do you mean by that? In order to create, I will not marry a wife, not have a fief, not have children, not wear a crown, and will not compete for honor and favor...... This is to give up all his life of fame and fortune, just for writing! β
Jupiter was shaken. Even the barrage was shocked.
Viewers who have been watching the human observation program, even if they have received more baptism of subverting the three views today, can't help but fall into contemplation after hearing these words.
Compared with others, more people think: Who am I? What am I doing? What's the point of my life? β¦β¦
"I understand," Yu Hua said, "I used to think a lot about what was wrong with my work. β
Jupiter sweated: "Teacher Yu, your work is not bad......"
"I'm still one step away from greatness," Yu Hua said, "but I can't find where I should break through." β
He suddenly stood up and said, "Now I know, I have been confined to my own life experience, and I only see this acre and three points of land around me.
"When I saw GarcΓa Borges's description of South America, I was fascinated by South America, and when I saw Haruki Kawabata's Japan, I felt unique.
"Previously, I also wanted to emulate them and write about the Chinese kingdom that only I could write.
"However, I haven't seen any other place, so how can I say that I understand Huaguo?
"He traveled to North and South America, Russia, and Japan in search of their own unique literature, and this spirit is the spirit that a novelist who is constantly improving every day should have."
Yu Hua's eyes were blazing, as if he had realized something, and then, bowing his head and bowing deeply to the camera.
Jupiter was shocked: "Teacher Yu, you are ......"
"Mentor, maybe you're watching this show," Yu Hua said to the camera, "then here, I would like to pay you my respect." β
"I've learned a little bit from you again."
β¦β¦ For a moment, the studio was silent.
Qin Yunchu lowered her head and was silent, and when she raised her head, her eyes were shining.
"I see, that's ......"
She understood why Chen Ya was willing to be a small clerk in her company.
He is here to create the best work and experience life in her company.
Qin Yunchu somewhat understood why Zhao Taidou would protect him like that.
It is an honor for the entire country and the whole nation of China to get such a talent.
Loss is the regret of the world!
Thinking of this, Qin Yunchu's hands trembled, and his face was hot.
Knowing this, how should she face Chen Ya in the future!
