Radar: There are still few masterpieces that directly address people’s hearts
Year-end inventory is a habit，Also necessary，But literature does not mutate according to the years。Sometimes it takes longer to see the signs。But there are still a few things that impressed me this year。
One is，I have already pointed out the problem of reading differentiation in the digital era，All kinds of reading do not interfere with the river，This has been going on for several years，Especially popular in recent years。Online Literature，Youth Literature，Genre novel，Attracting a large number of young readers，Typed creations are not only strong online but also in the book market，For example, suspense，Reasoning，Fantasy，Grave robbing，Travel，Harem, etc.，Some traditional literature readers were also dragged over，Overall, there is a decrease but not an increase。This may be a common reality in the Internet and consumer era。There are also good works here。But I think，Overall，This is an improvement in technological means，The level of media transmission and even civilization has improved，But there is not much progress in cultural spirit。Mainly，Pleasure reading replaces aesthetic reading，The share of consumer game reading is too large，So，How to increase the charm of novels in the traditional sense，Expand the impact on readers，It’s an important question。The literature of a nation must have its "spire"，In the field of pure literature，How to innovate to adapt to readers in the media era，Can be distinguished by its originality，Profoundness，The spirit of contemporary society，Directly pointing to the heart，It’s an outstanding problem。
At present, the problem of imbalance between quantity and quality in traditional literature is still very prominent，So the literary world needs to protect or maintain works with a true humanistic spirit，Works with distinct and profound positive spiritual values that need a lot of support and guidance。In this way, you can be in the bustling book market，The elevation and spire of raising spirits，Otherwise it will be obscured by some superficial prosperity。
Second is，The popularity of officialdom novels may be called the proliferation，Become an important phenomenon，Basically occupying an important space for public reading。On the one hand，To see，This is a reflection of social psychology，It is the social demand to fight corruption and promote integrity that stimulates the development of officialdom novels。But there are also many problems in the creation of officialdom novels，Some works have become tips for promotion or corruption exhibitions，Some best-selling books are not won by the power of thought and art，Instead, they tend to peek into the officialdom，Tend to entertainment、Recreation，Lack of mental strength and abundant righteousness。If "Cang Huang" is better written，That’s using officialdom as a platform，Written about human nature，Written daily，Written about culture。Official novels are actually the biggest “genre” now，This momentum is not conducive to literature expressing the vast and diverse organic connections of contemporary life。
Three is，Overall，Literature in 2009，Continue to move forward smoothly and calmly along the track of previous years，There are some good works。On long form，For example, "King Gesar" by Alai、"One sentence is worth ten thousand" by Liu Zhenyun，Mo Yan's "Frog"、"Laofengkou" by Zhang Zhe、"Great Plains" by Gao Jianqun、"River Bank" by Su Tong、"Skywalker" by Liu Xinglong、"Early Warning" by Zhou Daxin、"Long Street" by Wang Xiaoying、"Zero Generation" by Zhong Qiushi、"The Great River Goes East" by Anai、"No. 9 Gansu Rest House" by Ling Xingzheng、Wang Gang's "Forbes Spell"、Li Kuai’s “Dog Sacrifice”、"Late Spring" by Zhang Ye、"Imperial Grain Bell" from Qinling、"Xinjiawan" by Zhai Daihai、Liao Qi's "Tea Ceremony Without Tao" etc.。The documentary "Liberation War" is also very good。The creations of overseas Chinese last year attracted special attention，Achieved great results，It’s their ideas that are more refined，The heart becomes calmer，Better Chinese narrative skills？This needs to be studied。
Reviewing the creation of this whole year，The problem of insufficient originality is still quite prominent，In many works，Exquisite details、Full character，Inspiring Thoughts，Profound artistic conception is still lacking。
Zhang Yiwu: The three-legged structure is still solid and clear
The publication of "Little Reunion" is groundbreaking，Enables readers to gain a new understanding of Zhang Ailing’s creative career。
Traditional writers deserve concern，Still a front-line mainstream writer，"One sentence is worth ten thousand" by Liu Zhenyun、Mo Yan’s "Frog" are interesting new works，Maintained their creative standards，High bet365 online sports betting mobilereputation。Their creations have become relatively professional，It is very similar to the status of professional writers in the West，Publish a work in two or three years，Easy to miss，But it is difficult to make a major breakthrough。
The creations of writers born in the 1960s are basically stable，But has not yet entered the "first echelon" of Chinese writers。Writers in the 1970s also made efforts，But living awkwardly between traditional literature and online literature，No new space has been opened up，showing a shrinking state。Post-80s writers still occupy the youth literature market。
Youth Literature、The tripartite structure of online literature and traditional literature is still solid and clear。The second part of "Tiny Times"，Very popular among young readers，Guo Jingming and his team still have an advantage in youth literature。
The momentum of online literature last year was stronger than in previous years，Including "resurrection" under the banyan tree、Important literary websites are all under the banner of Shanda Literature，A series of activities have given the public a more important understanding of online literature，But after online literature is converted into paper publishing，The circulation volume is obviously inferior to the click rate。Also，《lurking》、Film and television literary works such as "Dwelling" continue to maintain a strong momentum；Application books，For example, "Du Lala's Promotion" and officialdom novels，They are all stable and amplified。Overall，Fictional literature is developing well。
Meng Fanhua: The flower of literature is still in full bloom
2009，The overall judgment on the current situation of literature is still a mixed bag of praise and praise。But the "three-thirds of the world" theory seems to have caused a stir: the impact of online literature on traditional literature is considered to be a major turning point。But the reality is far less terrible than described。
There are two "event" works in the 2009 novel: one is the publication of Zhang Ailing's "Little Reunion"，The first is the reprint of "Abandoned Capital"。"Little Reunion" pushed the long-lasting "Zhang Ailing craze" to a climax in 2009。The myth Zhang Ailing has built in the public lasts for many years，"Little Reunion" is like a shot in the arm when it is about to end，Resurrection from the dead。"The Wasted Capital" will be republished in any form，It is an important event，It will arouse great interest and attention from readers and the literary community。The 1990s was a time of great social transformation，Moralization standards are still one of the standards of literary criticism。It is not difficult to imagine the inappropriateness of the sexual description in "The Wasted City"。But，After more than ten years，Only then can the full richness of this work be re-recognized。
Within limited reading range，I think "New Historicism"、The conflict between “dehistoricization” and the expression of multiple modernities in works that reflect contemporary life，Still the main body of novel creation in 2009，It does not "break" and start anew，But it continues and develops the literary direction since the new century。
A novel about the fate of people，Mostly related to national narrative。Zong Pu’s "Western Expedition" has a profound grasp of war and human nature，Making it an important work expressing the history of this period；The Great Plains by Gao Jianqun is a novel that narrates family history，It is also a novel that pays tribute to rural Chinese women。"Imperial Grain Bell" once again confirms Qinling's memory of history and desire to write；Contemporary literature lacks the patience to pay lasting attention to major historical events，Li Senxiang、Xue Rong's "Send Off to the God of Plague" describes the important historical event of Zhejiang's prevention and control of schistosomiasis in the 1950s and 1960s，Shows the vision of two writers；Li Shijiang's "Happy State" shows the artistic imagination ability of young writers，It also reflects the efforts and attitude of writers born in the 1970s in literary exploration；Alai participated in the global publishing project "Retelling the Myth" with "King Gesar"；Fang Fang's "Water Under Time" reproduces the life scenes of old Wuhan in the 1920s；The old writer Zhang Wei's "Bloody Dawn" takes the Soviet Area in Western Fujian as the main background，A proletarian revolutionary from Fujian as the main character，Using revolutionary historical facts as basic materials，Vividly describes the period from 1919 to the eve of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War，The historical process of the Chinese revolution。
Writing history is a tradition of the novel，There will still be a large number of works produced in the future。What is more noteworthy in 2009 is the emergence of a “dehistoricizing” work，This is Liu Zhenyun's "One sentence is worth ten thousand sentences"。The core part of Liu Zhenyun’s novel，It is a revelation of the inner secrets of modern people，This inner secret，It’s about loneliness、Dull pain、Uneasy、Anxiety、The secret that has no place to tell，The secret of what it means for people to “talk” to each other。
Novel creation in recent years，The relationship with contemporary life is gradually recovering。In a sense，Contemporary life is the most important bet365 online sports betting mobileresource for current novel creation。Writers with the ability to think will always find inspiration for their own creation in current life。Alai published the third part of his "Empty Mountain" series in 2009,Expresses the changes in value concepts in Tibetan areas affected by the economic tide and the writer's worries。Liu Xinglong’s "Skywalker" focuses on the bottom of education；Zhou Daxin's "Early Warning" has a strong warning meaning and significance；Zhang Xuedong's "Super Low Altitude Gliding" is the first work in China to reflect the special theme of civil aviation life，Its professionalism determines that it is impossible to write without experience。
2009，Reflect contemporary life、Works that participate in current public affairs in a literary way，The most influential one should be Cao Zhenglu’s "Ask the Cangmang"。Writing on "officialdom"，Should be one of the important literary phenomena since the new era。Wang Yuewen, known as the “Second King” of “official novels”、Wang Xiaofang published "Canghuang" and "Notes of Civil Servants" respectively。Publishing of "Official Life" by Guan Renshan，Added new imagination and understanding to this literary phenomenon。Guan Renshan named this novel "Official Life" itself，Seems to be a deliberate objective description，There is also a kind of sympathy、The meaning of understanding is contained in it。This is an era of "multiple modernities"。The conflict between modernities has become one of the characteristics of this era。In "Official Life" we find that the main contradiction in the novel does not just come from the struggle for power、Power and money trading or erotic interpretation。
2009，The full richness of full-length novel writing cannot be presented in this brief narrative，But what I can assert is: the flower of literature is still in full bloom。
He Shaojun: It is important to break through the limitations of China’s experience
I would like to mention a work that no one pays much attention to: "Red Duckweed" translated by Canadian Chinese writer Li Yan。Why you value this work so much？I have been looking forward to reading this novel for many years。Because I saw news saying that，Li Yan's "Red Duckweed" was nominated for the Canadian Best Book Award，I'm surprised，This is an award for their mainstream literature。Although many Chinese went abroad to study and settle down in the 1980s to write，There are also some very influential overseas writers emerging in the mainland，But they can only have an impact on Chinese literature，It is difficult to enter the local mainstream。This news interests me。
The English name of "Red Duckweed" is "Women of the Red Land"，Write about the experiences of a family with a woman as the protagonist in modern Chinese history。Li Yan himself introduced that he was a translator，There is also the meaning of rewriting。This novel，Won’t stand out in Chinese novels，But Li Yan’s strength is bilingual writing，She is proficient in English，Express Chinese stories in English，Completely in line with English language thinking habits。She lives abroad，Influenced by Western culture，Looking back at this history，Through the adjustment of Western cultural thinking，Maybe more detached，We won’t be as eager for quick success as we are，Too realistic，Superior in spiritual and cultural values。The same Chinese story，Express it in English，It is easy to be recognized by mainstream Western literature。When reading her Chinese text，Caught her looking back to process her experience，His attitude is much more calm，Will work more on the elegance of language。This happens to be what we lack most when telling this story。
Li Yan’s writing，After bilingual conversion，Get rid of our thinking habits。This kind of information has some enlightenment for us，Our writers may not master foreign languages or live abroad，But the important thing is，How to break through the limitations of our experience in dealing with China？Li Yan provided a possibility。
The debate between the prosperous age and the declining age was an important literary phenomenon last year。The 60th anniversary of the founding of New China also brings the topic of summarizing the 60 years of literature，It led to an interesting controversy，It is the controversy about the literature of the prosperous age and the literature of the declining age。Although this discussion is only carried out among some people，Its influence is long-lasting、Profound。In this controversy，There is an important issue that we have ignored，But it needs to be solved in the future - how do we view the freedom of literature。Long time，There is a doubt in the West，I often ask Chinese writers: Can you write freely now？You will find out soon，Some Chinese writers misunderstand that this question is based on external conditions，So we will argue that we don’t have so many constraints，This is the biggest misunderstanding。From the perspective of Chinese and foreign history，Excellent and great work，Not written in a relaxed environment，The key lies in whether the writer has inner spiritual freedom。Chinese literature lacks inner freedom。
Chen Xiaoming: Novel New Year
Compared to 2008，Last year can be called a great year for novels，There have been several important works。I am paying attention Bet365 gamesto Liu Zhenyun’s "One Sentence is Worth Ten Thousand Sentences"，Be able to fully express Chinese language quality in style，Have a strong sense of local literature，In this work，Liu Zhenyun sees the meaning of modern Chinese in the context of modern Western literature，The more I write, the more it comes to my heart。Liu Zhenyun wrote many characters，Keep writing about others，But they are all related to social history and rural life，This is amazing。His novel is about parents and short stories，Write about the life of three religions and nine streams in rural areas，Written about how farmers find people who can tell their true feelings，How farmers’ modern consciousness emerged。In this novel，Modern consciousness and tradition are inextricably linked，The author has independent thinking。Writing is new，The soil must fall away，But presented in a Chinese way。
In "River Bank" by Su Tong，I didn’t find anything amazing、Something commensurate with his talent and fame，"River Bank" returns to the avant-garde，Returning to a new start。Although it is rewriting history，But there is a person’s search and failure for self-history，The entire narrative has a sense of rhythm and freedom，Characters live in the flow of language。Su Tong’s language is still beautiful and pure。
I also noticed that some works are very unique，Ning Ken’s "City of Vision" did a lot of exploration and text experiments，On the one hand, I write about life in Tibet，On the one hand, it is awe and reflection on life。Also，I also want to mention Hongying’s "Fun Girl"，It is said that it can be used as the second part of "The Hungry Daughter"，This work may cause huge controversy，Because it’s too realistic，Writing about the great brokenness of love and marriage，It is about family ethics、To the body、The most thorough examination of a woman’s destiny，Hongying pushes the novel experience to the extreme。We don’t have to be busy judging whether the work is good or bad，But how to treat extreme literary experiences is worthy of discussion。I also noticed that Hong Ying’s novel narrative seems very sophisticated，Clean language，She is a complete novelist，Writing her own experience thoroughly and completely。
Mo Yan’s "Frog" is a very important work。Not a great writer will definitely produce great works，But every one of Mo Yan’s works is very rich。“My aunt” as the protagonist，Shows Mo Yan’s attitude of paying attention to reality。Family planning as a basic national policy has influenced generations of Chinese people，There are some performances in literary works，But there are no works that fully express family planning like Mo Yan，Works that reflect the imprint of the Chinese nation in such experiences deserve attention。
Ai Wei's "The Wind and the Sun" was published in the third issue of "Harvest"、Fourth issue，The uniqueness of the work lies in its reflection on the revolution，Shows that the writer’s thinking has become mature。
There is another work that must be discussed: "Looking for Delly" by Zhao Yu。The biggest shock to me from this work is，Written about the destruction of the extended family in modern history。Shanxi’s economy and culture are very important in modern Chinese history，From modern times to modern times，Then it begins to decline。This work is based on the search for Delly’s life experience，Write what happened behind her，The destruction of family and class，And the destroyed fate of the big families in Shanxi related to her family。Great writing。
Zhang Ling’s "Golden Mountain" is a very atmospheric work，The narrative of the novel changes freely in two time and space of one era。Chinese family novels are very developed，After experiencing these, focus on individuals，is a long and necessary foundation。Yan Lianke's "My Fathers and Me" writes about the relationship with his father in a very calm and easy way。Alai's "King Gesar" is outstanding among works that "retell myths"，It is ridiculous for someone to slander a travel novel without reading it。
In summary，The writer has a clearer awareness of returning to his native land，More profound；The experience of avant-garde literature is more powerfully promoted in "River Bank"；The artistic techniques commonly used by Chinese writers are more diverse、Atmosphere，Artistic level has been significantly improved。Writers are becoming more and more personalized，This shows that the writer himself is also looking for changes，Shows their courage and awareness。
Li Jingze: Overseas Chinese writers occupy an important position
2009 novels like "Golden Mountain"、"One sentence is worth ten thousand"、"King Gesar" and other outstanding works。In the last year，We can strongly feel that Chinese writing is a global phenomenon，Mainland、Writers from Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas，Participated in cultural life together，Several collections that received widespread attention last year，Mainly from Hong Kong and Taiwan writers，Zhang Dachun、Liang Wendao、Long Yingtai。
There is now a group of “new overseas Chinese writers”，"People's Literature" issued a special account for this in the 12th issue，This includes Yan Geling who lives in the United States、Yuan Jinmei、Chen Qian，Hongying from the UK，Zhang Ling, who wrote "Golden Mountain", is in Canada，And Chen He bet365 best casino gamesfrom Canada，Zhang Huiwen from Singapore, etc.。In the past we talked about contemporary literature，Mainly mainland literature，Others from Hong Kong and Taiwan to overseas，As the edge of contemporary literature，They may continue the genealogy and tradition of modern literature，Contemporary literature in Dan and mainland China basically developed separately，It doesn’t matter。But it’s different now，With more than thirty years of reform and opening up，Chinese、Mainlanders migrate around the world，Some people started writing overseas，Their background and literary experience are all brought from the mainland，Across borders、Cross-cultural、In a cross-lingual situation，They respond to contemporary literature，Brings many new themes、Opinion、Experience and weather。This is a powerful expansion of Chinese contemporary literature in the context of globalization。Maybe we will talk about contemporary literature in the future，We can’t just talk about mainland China，We also want to talk about Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas，Together they constitute a complex field。This phenomenon did not start in 2009，But it became particularly obvious this year。
Bai Ye: The symphony of destiny and fortune
The novel as an indicator form of literary creation，increasingly valued both inside and outside the literary world，But make a basic assessment based on common reading，But it is getting more and more difficult。The reason，There are too many types of books，The quantity is too large。From the perspective of traditional criticism，Although the field of novels is increasing in number，Unclear，But its basic composition is still two major categories of writing，That is, traditional or close to traditional writing mainly composed of professional or professional writers，Typed or close to typed writing mainly by amateur or online writers。After making this distinction，We will see，Traditional novels aim to leave a certain impression in and outside the literary world，The goal of genre novels is to gain maximum impact in the market，Such an implicit motivation difference，Makes people pay more attention to traditional novels，And regard it as a higher representative of the artistic level of novel creation。
Looking at the situation of traditional long-form creation，The number of novels in 2009 continues to grow，The quality is also constantly improving，In the stability of moving forward and the peace of harvest，There is an inner richness。The most impressive，In the 2009 novel，In the fields of different themes，There are genuine masterpieces，And they all use their own unique artistic exploration，It makes people unable to stop reading，Long aftertaste after reading。Also worthy of attention，No matter what the subject matter is involved，What character is depicted，Many writers have intensified their exploration of human personality，Tracking people’s destiny，And between individuals and society，Life and times are closely linked，Discover the ecology and reality that restrict and change each other，Making the symphony of destiny and the trend of the times，became the dominant melody prominent in the 2009 novel。
Works involving reality and change，Quite a few in 2009，This is the 30th year of reform and opening up，Some thoughtful writers intend to describe and shape the glorious changes in the 30 years since this new era，What is more important is the realistic tendency that has always existed in creation，In 2009, there were tangible results in seeking new voices。In comparison，In this category，Deserving of attention，It should be "The River Goes East" by Anai，"Ask the Cangmang" by Cao Zhenglu，"Long Street" by Wang Xiaoying，"Skywalker" by Liu Xinglong。
Highlight personal perspective and care for the growth of personality，Focus on individual survival by exploring destiny，has become a recurring theme in many writers’ novels。In "All Directions" by Xu Guixiang，The characters’ tragic experiences are shockingly revealed。The tragic life of the protagonist Shui Lantern in Fang Fang’s "Water Under Time"，To a large extent a tragedy of character。Abnormal gray memories and secret life experiences in Su Tong's "River Bank"，Perfectly expresses the youthful turmoil and growing confusion of young people，Also combine the ruthlessness of society and the ruthlessness of politics，Personal humility and tenacity of life，Everything is revealed to the point of no return。
Mo Yan’s novel "Frog"，Unusual return to realistic narrative，And through a typical character like "Aunt"，Tells about the personality mutation of a rural female doctor，"Aunt's" psychological conflict，Of course it also reflects the contradiction between the times and history。
For local-themed works，In 2009, some powerful writers made their own innovative discoveries，Liu Zhenyun's "One Sentence is Worth Ten Thousand Sentences" is a typical representative of this kind of writing。"Great Plains" by Gao Jianqun、Cheng Yi’s "Tea Ceremony Blue and Red" has its own unique features。
The current field of officialdom novels，Most of them have not gotten out of the mold of modeling reality。2009，This situation has improved to some extent，This is due to Wang Xiaofang’s "Civil Service Notes"bet365 online sports betting app、"Cang Huang" by Wang Yuewen、The joint appearance and obvious innovation of several masterpieces such as Zhang Xiaoyou's "National Oath" and Zhou Daxin's "Early Warning"。
