Shakespeare said: “books are the best nutrition in the world.” Du Fu also wrote a famous sentence through the ages: “Reading breaks through thousands of books, and writing is like a god.” Gorky also has his own view: “the book is the ladder of human progress.” Today, Mr. Xu Tongcun brought “Time” into Zhengrui and held a reading sharing meeting. “Nianhua” is a long narrative that connects the river and the sea, dabbles in urban and rural areas, spans military and civilian areas, and spans time and space. It focuses on the typical image of the hero Yu Tonghua under the background of China’s reform and opening up, and tells about his growth process. The novel takes the rural youth Yu Tonghua’s work, life, and emotional experience in the past 40 years as the main line, and uses realistic methods to show the living conditions of multiple characters with the “post-60s” as the main body, and penetrates the major social life events that occurred during the period. The protagonist’s identity is a little soldier, a little “literati”, a small platoon leader, a small secretary, a political work section chief, a secretary, a poet, and a writer. He always has an immortal dream and a persistent future design, and that’s all. Small means ordinary (not equal to mediocrity), small means weak as grass mustard, small means single force solitary. Yu Tonghua walked out of the countryside and moved forward in pursuit of his dream. He had no background and worked hard with his bare hands. His evaluation in time and time can be called Do not forget your initiative mind and lived up to his youth. The intersection of the protagonist and the various characters of the military and the land witnessed the transformation of the barracks and the bizarre urban and rural areas in the open era. The novel shows the value orientation, behavior mode, pursuit concept and life concept of soldiers, civil servants, businessmen, freelancers, farmers, ordinary people and other groups in the period of social transformation. With vivid and vivid stories, it outlines a contemporary Ukiyo painting.
Mr. Xu Tongcun shared many experiences about creating “Nianhua”. The first sentence of the book “Everyone has similar limbs and facial features, but everyone’s fate is different”. Yes! Everyone has two eyes, one nose, one ear and one mouth. They have similar facial features, but each life is completely different. The person who creates different destinies and grasps different destinies is always yourself. Just like the protagonist in the book, even if it is a single spark, it can still start a prairie fire. Only by constantly creating and innovating can we achieve a better self! Co-construction and development with the enterprise, the achievement of an extraordinary value of life, the achievement of a brilliant enterprise.
