Comment on Fang Yuan's new work "Who Will Love Me"
Liu Chunyu
Open Fang Yuan's new work "Who Will Love Me", and first hear a sigh in life. The modern city is nothing short of a mystery. Behind the lights of skyscrapers, there must be stories that people cannot know, which is a mystery. It is a mystery that the birds in the city meet unexpectedly and pass by each other. It is a mystery for a person to search for a memory hidden in his heart but not know what to search for. It is the same mystery that a man feels bitter and a woman hates.
In the final analysis, I still can't erase a word of love.
"Who Will Love Me" is not funny, but it is wonderful. The whole work unfolds stories around ordinary and simple feelings, and all the stories are so close to us, because they are the original ecological records of our real life: the big city in the north that is becoming more and more prosperous in the work, although the whole is blurred, actually It is the city we live in that is difficult to describe its characteristics. The journalists, advertisers, column producers, upstarts, and medical workers in the works are actually the shadows that appear around us every day¡ªthe kind of people who find a lot of reasons for their feelings, the kind of people who look for troubles, with seven emotions. We who are morbid and create reasons for our own desires. The stories and circumstances of these people may be truly regrettable.
Why do they just refuse to believe in the capriciousness of love?
The writer Fang Yuan is also a journalist. The impact of urban changes and the accumulation of his own life, in addition to providing materials for writers, undoubtedly have a strong influence and inspiration on his creative tendencies. In the different displacements of cities and spaces, Fang Yuan used his experience and works to evoke people's lingering feelings, and let us look again at the daily life that we have neglected.
It should be pointed out that, in terms of rich creations in Shandong Province, there is no lack of Huang Zhong Dalu's fine art works and profound and meaningful soul torture, but it is slightly weak in the theme of modern urban themes. As for the works that reflect the emotions of urban people Very few. On this level, "Who Will Love Me" naturally has another innovative significance. As a work reflecting modern urban themes, the narrative style of the work is simple and restrained, which is particularly valuable. The essence of the article is a well-intentioned hint of helplessness about emotions and various logics and principles that life should follow. In this sense, it can be regarded as a moral article.
Sometimes we subconsciously doubt the era we live in. Love will change overnight, friendship seems unreliable, and family affection is far away when needed Everyone is ready to fight, but they can't keep it. In the novel, Fang Yuan did not engage in moral speculation, but concealed his tendency through plain narration¡ªtoo much love, and he would unconsciously suffocate the loved one in his own way. Possessiveness and control are the main culprits of expanding emotional pressure. The tragedies of He Tong and Liu Xiaomei in the works are proof. Liu Xiaomei's premeditated plot is pointed out at the beginning of the work, and in the following pages, this suspense is continuously expanded through a mysterious phone call. The intertwining of Liu Xiaomei, He Tong and Yu Zhenru, as well as He Tong and his first love Zhao Fengling, finally formed the most entangled emotional passage in the book. Such handling is commendable. It is also commendable that the author did not pursue a certain narrative technique too much, unlike the lyrical soprano in "Don Juan" who "showed her teeth because she was ruthless to express".
"The sky in the city is so passionate, why do I have to cry in the corner", this lyrics in the novel can't help but make people feel sad, I even think of other lyrics: the sharp sword in the forest and the white horse / the lover in the legend, etc. White hair/recalling the red wax of the cold palace and bright moon/the lead flower washed away by running water after many years/listen to the wind, who cares about who is gone/listen to the sea saying that I am stupid, laughing at me and looking at the sea with tears .
Really, people in society may not be noble, at least there are still unredeemed original sins
