Pomegranate tree bears cherry preface
It has always been my dream to write a local China novel. Of course, it is now the local China, not the border town. The local China was described in the Red Flag Spectrum Bailu Jinguang Avenue. I said it is now this, which is changing rapidly and painfully turning over the local China in the complex realistic context.
If a person is blind or deaf, he will see and hear a series of tragedies happening in the countryside of China. They don’t happen anywhere else, and they are not country stories. Whether you live in the city or the countryside, or you don’t live in the moon, those tragedies will greatly affect your life. You will live in the future now unless you recognize that you have no future.
In April of three years, when I lived in Beijing and wrote the novel pomegranate trees bearing cherries, I saw the faces of middle peasants in the suburbs of Beijing and the faces of Beijing sea people from them. Although the eyes of Beijingers often glance from winding hutongs to the top of the red wall, the eyes of sea people often glance from the muddy Huangpu River to the goddess on the other side of the ocean. I know that this face is not in the writing period of one year. This face has been flashing before my eyes, and I once again realized the meaning of local China.
Of course, I’m not so simple that I can’t see the difference between Liancheng township and even worse, the difference between urban and rural areas is getting bigger and bigger. Today, I don’t see whether the rich are urban rich or rural rich but I can’t see whether the poor are rural poor or urban poor. I’m not so confused. Similarly, I won’t see the poor and I can’t see the rich. But I understand the widespread resentment caused by the imbalance. When living in a lie cover-up and making real changes, this kind of widespread resentment is so complicated and ambiguous and meaningful.
Pomegranate produced in the western regions was brought to the east from Zhang Qian in the Western Han Dynasty, and the Western Han Dynasty was the origin of the formation of our nation-state. Cherry will be brought to China when it was produced in the East. However, in modern times, it was because of Japan that our nation-state consciousness woke up and rose. After a long time, pomegranate cherries have become the most common plants among the people. Their rich and enduring fables hang on the branches of the courtyard. I know that the fable myth of the nation-state is of course the local background. The fable myth has always been the focus of China’s attention. However, in the 21st century today, many
I wrote some stories, some scenes and some situations, and I also wrote about my worries, vigilance and difficult demands. I believe it is deeper than lies and deeper than lies.
Preface to the night tour library
I seldom have two thin novels, and most of my peers are waiting for my feet. This is not because my hands are lazy to eat, but because my hands are lazy to eat this bowl of rice. Isn’t it because of my personal temperament?
In daily life, I am particularly credulous, but I seldom believe in writing. Mr. Yan Lianke once suggested that I mark the cover of my article. This is a skeptical article. For example, in daily life, people tell me that roosters can lay eggs, and I will definitely say that I am lucky to lay eggs, but I will doubt not only male eggs but also female eggs in novels. Is it true that female eggs are all eggs? Since the emperor allows some women not to have children, nothing is allowed. Some hens don’t lay eggs. Even if more than half of a novel has been written, even if a full stop has been drawn, I still doubt whether the story is boring. Is that guy in the story really worth writing? No one has written this story in China, nor have foreigners written it? You see, others are pen gods. I seem to be pen gods, but in fact, pen gods are ghosts and ghosts. You said, how can I be isosceles in this situation?
But after all, I still wrote more than a million words. Although skepticism is as ubiquitous as fog, I still have to walk through the fog every day. Pasternak said, I write because I want to say what I say is really good. To say this great motivation will flash in front of almost every desk, but it may be more important for writing in this era to say what I want to say. It is very difficult. It requires passion, courage and strictness in imagination, expressiveness and cognition. There are many obstacles in my training. Ah, every roadblock may eat you, and you won’t know if people spit bones after eating you, but I still wrote so much. In the afternoon, the fog hasn’t dispersed, and it will last until late at night. It’s a long time, waiting for the roadblock to eat you, but it’s certainly a good way to escape through the dense forest. After all, I have tried to escape. It’s better than sitting still.
I’m still writing
White crow sequence
Let you list ten classic short stories in your mind. I think our list may overlap a lot, but let you list and choose these ten short stories. From that, we will find that those short stories that we regard as classics are often unconventional. It seems that they are not so standard, either a little more or a little less. In other words, it seems to be an exception in the history of short stories.
For example, almost no one doubts that Singer’s fool Jim Pell is a short story writer, but in fact, it doesn’t meet the requirements of short stories. It is more like a summary of a novel. In fact, many novels in Biesinger are bigger, and almost no one doubts that Kafka’s metamorphosis is is a classic novel. But did the ancient literature and education department ever tell us that a person can be turned into a beetle in the first sentence of a novel? Everyone says that short stories pay attention to the rules, but no matter what standard you take to measure the Babel cavalry, you will feel something is wrong.
But the interesting thing is that in the face of a large number of short stories, we can still judge which novel is well written and which is not well written, even if the names are hidden. Many times, we can judge which novel can be written by economists in this era, which novel can be written by economists in this era. Although it is only in this era that we can write it, we still think it is a good novel in a literary history. This phenomenon seems to tell another basic fact. We don’t seem to have a set standard for short stories, but it is actually a general norm.
I think no matter what style your novel belongs to, which school and which good novel is not a short story, it will help us to understand the human-based situation more deeply. Compared with short stories, I tend to regard short stories as a footnote to explain the human-based situation. It is both a part of the text and independent of the text. It makes your eyes drop from the rolling flood of the text to a short meditation. When your eyes are raised, your eyes will cross the text. Note that dotted line seems to be in a state of watching the fire from the other side of the bank. You can put out the fire or use it as fireworks. Before reading this footnote, you have a general understanding of the basic situation of human beings, but after reading this footnote, you will know more about it. Although you know that fools are full of people, you don’t know that the world is still a chaotic era. Although you know that children have a very difficult process when they enter the adult world, you have read Joyce. You didn’t know that you had suffered until after the rabbi. In fact, others also said that it was actually human suffering. It deepened your painful memories and relieved your pain at the same time, and you were awake to understand others’ pain. Only after seeing Lu Xun in the restaurant did you think about what might happen when a dead girl cut velvet flowers outside the restaurant. She was more unfortunate than the child in Arabi, and wrote in Lu Xun’s novel that Singer was similar to China’s fool.
Here are a few novels that I have selected from the short stories I have created in the past 20 years. They are my footnotes on the times of life. Now your eyes are down and your eyes are up.

Forgetting postscript
Indra is the most majestic among many children of Adi, the mother of the gods in Indian mythology. His mother gave birth to him, and his blood collapsed. Alas, as soon as he landed, he reached out for the weapon. When he grew up, he often came to people in various ways. When he was a king, he was a beggar, he was a military commander, when he was an unpredictable old man, he was a beautiful teenager, and he became a deformed man who could not look at his age. It was even more important that he would become a tiger, lion, fly, swan parrot or a little beetle. Although he was a god, he
In the Bible, Adam lived to be 130 years old and gave birth to a son named Seth. After Seth gave birth, he went on to live for a hundred years. In this period, he continued to have children until he was 150 years old. After Noah was born, he went on to live for a hundred and seven years, just like his father. In this period, he also continued to have children. Many generations later, Jesus appeared. Many years later, human beings regarded the year of Jesus’ birth as the first year of A.D. Thanks to this first year, otherwise, the situation of dogs biting hedgehogs will be studied in human history, which
In China’s mythological classics, Di Jun, who married the birthday of the sun, the moon and the moon and dominated the movement of the sun and the moon, obviously occupied a very important position in ancient mythology. Some myths wanted to establish him as the main god, so that the pieces of myth could be pieced together and second time around could build a more perfect body. This Di Jun’s strange-looking neck frame is a bird with a head, a sun and a crow with three feet. It has been studied that one of the three feet is actually a genitalia, not a real foot. That is to say, people have been mistaken about such things until now. In the racetrack, people shouted that a horse had five legs when they saw its genitals hanging in its belly. Of course, this Di Jun also gave birth to the best emperor, Yao Yao, and the emperors were different generations. In the long history, people wanted to please the highest authorities and said that the man was the reincarnation of Yao Emperor. Although he knew that he was wearing a top hat, he would still be happy. After checking the classics, we will also know that Di Jun Yao also said another way, that is, Di Jun was actually Yao, not only Yao, but also later Shunyu, that is, Indra.
Myth stories and mythical characters are closely related to our daily life. When we regard Jesus as a person, he is a noble god. When we regard him as a god, he is a failure. From the three stories, we can see that the myth of daily life is linked to the myth story, and every annotation is actually established in the myth daily life, while the actual myth structure has amazing identity. The myth has come to us through the time, and we have found the source of our various ideologies in ancient times. That is to say, the myth restatement is actually a movement in the opposite direction.
For nearly four months, I was immersed in various annotations of ancient books and suffered from a kind of torture. Finally, a text of about 70,000 words was forgotten. Its subtitle was the Goddess Chang’e flying to the moon or Chang ‘e Fan. Before these images of the lion king, Donald Duck and Snow White were born, the blue sky was farther away and closer to the starlight than it is now. At the same time, the image of Chang ‘e floated like fireflies and was as hard and solid as flint. But at this time, Chang ‘e was the wife of the hero who shot the sun, not the wife who gave birth to the moon. Di Jun’s wife grew older. Growing up, realizing the confusion of identity and various forces, poetry in fairy tales is even more illusory than flowers in the mirror of the moon in the water. In other words, romantic poetry, fairy tales and heroes lose their vitality once they encounter daily life.
In all kinds of paradoxical experience, the myth is certainly not history, but it is indeed history. We now insist that we are the myth of Yan Huang Sun. Of course, it is illusory, but the descriptions of it in various classics are indeed ironclad. History becomes history because it is a kind of temporality, but once history becomes history, it is indeed a kind of untimely. It is the best trick for Chinese people to create new perjury by discriminating falsehood in real materials. We want to live in paradoxical situations. The image recognizes that the situation is the imagination, and once it is the imagination, we will recognize it as history, but the meaning of the imagination is forgotten. In all kinds of paradoxical situations, personal authenticity is put behind, but the fact is that personal authenticity is in the territory.
This kind of confusion in my heart caused by various paradoxes of changeable identity is needless to say, when the identity changes, the layers break and this kind of confusion is obtained. law of excluded middle is contrary to the law of identity and contradiction, just like falling into the pattern of Zhuang Sheng’s dream butterfly’s confusion. When writing forgetting, I often feel that the law of formal logic base is an illusion. When I try to clearly arrange the story to express the character’s character, I feel more and more that this kind of expression omits the truth. In other words, when I make the story arrangement of the character’s identity inconsistent with the three laws, I am against it. And I feel a kind of happiness, a kind of happiness that is close to my understanding of things. At this time, my yearning for the world to be clear and orderly has become stronger, just like coming from the back of paper, just like Calvino said that when he realized that lightness is a value rather than a defect, he felt that the world was heavy, inert and difficult to understand when he wanted to seek grotesque harmony in writing.
Talking about yourself thoroughly is bad. Don’t say that Toya is bad, just like a diabetic can’t eat sugar or not. It’s like a person who stripped himself naked first and the other person may still be indifferent. The best way is to eat a little sugar underpants. Regardless of the size, we should leave a little room for a retreat.
Dialogue in the room
I’m sitting in my room, writing an article about my room, and someone who is worried knocks at the door. There are four people, a critic, a man, a woman’s house and an artist. The first three are my friends, and the last one is their friend. To tell the truth, I don’t think the artist’s age and sex should be a man from the creeping Adam’s apple, but from the eyebrow painting, it’s a woman. Later, I know that he is a man and now it’s a woman. If my writing plan is interrupted as usual, I’m sure to be bored to death
Li er is good. I want to find someone.
It’s great for men to remember playing mahjong. It’s just that a table of men and women is not tired when playing together.
