The storm caused by "The First Floor in the World" in the theater and literary circles of Yanjing is still continuing, but Lin Chaoyang has retired with success.

The money I earn from writing drama scripts is really too little, how can I be as happy as writing a movie script!

He rushed to meet the one-month deadline and sent the script of "Wrangler" to Xie Jin, completing the agreement between the two parties.

Lin Chaoyang was working that day, and Tao Yushu suddenly ran to the Yanda Library.

She had no class this afternoon and came here to tell Lin Chaoyang some good news.

The review article she wrote for "Parental Love" was published again in "Literary News".

Counting this time, this is the second time that her article has appeared in "Literary News", the top magazine in the domestic literary and art circles.

For Tao Yushu, who is still in school, such achievements are enough to make people proud.

"It's really good. Is this the first article published this year?" Lin Chaoyang asked with a smile after reading the article.

Tao Yushu was as happy as a chicken pecking at rice. In the second half of last year, Lin Chaoyang was criticized by the literary world for "The Inevitable Rise and Decline of Scar Literature". At that time, she published several articles in a row, as if she had been given a shot of chicken blood.

But since then, perhaps because I lost that enthusiasm, few of the submitted articles have been adopted.

This time the article appeared in the "Literary News", which undoubtedly greatly inspired Tao Yushu's creative confidence.

After feeling happy, Tao Yushu continued: "I saw that there have been quite a few review articles on "Parental Love" recently, and the response from the literary community has been very good."

It has been nearly four months since "Parental Love" was published. Both readers' sentiments and critics' opinions have accumulated to a very high level. Whether it is readers' evaluations or critics' comments, it can be said that there has been an influx of comments in the past two months.

.

The novel was published in the first issue of "Harvest" this year, and the second issue at the end of March published a review article titled "Parental Love: On Chinese People's Views on Love."

"..."Parental Love", with its delicate characterization, touching storyline and keen capture of the changes of the times, unfolds for us a picture of marriage and family that spans decades.

What is particularly worthy of attention is that through the vivid description of the love life of the protagonists Jiang Defu and An Jie, the novel profoundly reveals the Chinese people's view of love, which is a completely different concept from the Western view of love.

It includes the intertwining of love and responsibility, the integration of individual emotions and family ethics, and also includes the persistence and evolution of love in the changing times.

In traditional Chinese culture, love is often closely linked to responsibility. This concept is vividly reflected in "Parental Love". The love between Jiang Defu and An Jie is not just a romantic and private emotion, but is deeply rooted in each other.

among family and social responsibilities.

As a soldier, Jiang Defu's love contains loyalty to the country and protection of his family; as an intellectual woman, An Jie's love contains understanding of her partner and teaching her children.

In the love relationship between the two, they respect each other, support each other, and share the wind and rain, forming the foundation of a solid family. This view of love emphasizes that love is not only the emotional bond between two people, but also the fulfillment of family and social commitments.

, embodies the Chinese people’s unique understanding of the depth and breadth of love.

…

"Parental Love" provides us with a Chinese-style view of love that is rich in depth and warmth. It also reminds us that true love not only includes passion and romance, but also requires responsibility and dedication, and requires individual pursuit within the framework of family ethics.

Emotional satisfaction.

In modern society, although the concept of individualism has become increasingly prominent, this novel reminds us that love should still be rooted in deep concern for family and society, which is an important source of lasting love and giving meaning to life.

This novel is not only a touching love story, but also a cultural mirror that provides insights into the deep values ​​of the Chinese people. It has important reference value for understanding the Chinese people's view of love and its development in modern society."

In addition to this review in "Harvest", many well-known literary magazines such as "Zhejiang Literature and Art", "Gansu Literature and Art", "Literary Review" and "Contemporary" have also recently published review articles on "Parental Love".

Some of them are voices from the literary and critical circles, and some are from the deep feelings of ordinary literature lovers.

There is no doubt that "Parental Love" has achieved both professional reputation and reader evaluation since its publication, and it has also contributed to the further expansion of Lin Chaoyang's fame.

The article was published again in "Literary News". Tao Yushu's confidence increased greatly, and he planned to write a review for Lin Chaoyang's new novel next, targeting top publications in the literary world such as "Harvest", "Literary News" and "Literary Review".

Lin Chaoyang has long been accustomed to Tao Yushu's active pursuit of progress. He joked: "Would you like me to teach you some of my creative experience in writing novels?"

Tao Yushu immediately expressed his dissatisfaction: "I have read the novel several times and know it well. You, the author, may not think as much as I think."

Lin Chaoyang joked: "As expected of a reviewer, you dare to boast so loudly in front of me, the author."

The new novel the two of them were talking about was naturally the work that Lin Chaoyang had previously submitted to "Contemporary" - "The Summer of Laizi"

The prototype of the novel comes from a movie "The Summer of Kikujiro" that Lin Chaoyang watched later.

The story of the movie takes place in the summer. It tells the story of a little boy named Zhengnan who lost his father when he was young. He missed his mother far away and embarked on a journey alone in order to see her.

A kind-hearted neighbor discovered Masao's plan and arranged for her husband Kikujiro to accompany Masao. Kikujiro was an idle man who seemed rude but kind at heart.

Masao began a journey to find his mother. Along the way, he and Kikujiro experienced various difficulties. At the same time, he also received a lot of kindness and help from strangers, which brought them laughter and touching.

Masao found his mother, but found that she had already formed a new family. Faced with this reality, Masao was filled with pain and disappointment. In order to comfort Masao, Kikujiro did not hesitate to play "fake mother" and "fake father" to alleviate Masao's sadness.

.

At the end of the journey, Masao learned to accept reality and face the setbacks in life under Kikujiro's unique caring style. He and Kikujiro also established a deep friendship.

Although he did not return to his mother, Masao spent an unforgettable and love-filled summer with Kikujiro.

"The Summer of Kikujiro" was released in 1999 and is one of the masterpieces of director Takeshi Kitano. It won many international film awards including the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in the year it was released.

In addition to winning awards, after the film was released, the film won the love of countless audiences around the world for its warmth and clear style, becoming a rare masterpiece in the world of cinema in the 20th century.

When Lin Chaoyang adapts the novel, the social and historical background must be localized, but the overall story framework remains unchanged.

However, the identity of the protagonist Raiko (Kikujiro) has changed and he has become a middle-aged man who fell over the fence due to speculation.

Due to his criminal record of speculation, Lai Zi was fired from the factory and became unpopular at home and in the neighborhood.

In addition to being a neighbor of Xiaojun's (Zhengnan) family, his wife was also (Xiaojun's) distant cousin. When her wife discovered that Xiaojun wanted to travel hundreds of miles to find his mother, she arranged for Lai Zi to escort her.

In addition to the reason for worrying about Xiaojun, another reason is that he doesn't want to see Laizi staying at home and doing nothing every day.

The identity of the other protagonist, Xiaojun (Zhengnan), was due to the impact on the family. His father committed suicide unjustly and passed away. His mother had drawn a clear line with his father before his death and remarried after his father's death. Xiaojun

I have always been dependent on my grandma.

"Raiko's Summer" was published in the second issue of "Contemporary" this year, which is the April issue, and it will be almost a month old now.

When the novel was published, it enjoyed the headline treatment of "Contemporary" and it was published in one issue. The editorial department gave Lin Chaoyang enough face.

Of course, there is a reason why the editorial department loves "Raiko's Summer" so much.

As an important branch of modernist literature, stream-of-consciousness novels have distinctive characteristics and artistic creation techniques.

Its creation focuses on showing the characters' ever-changing thinking activities, allowing readers to directly come into contact with the characters' deepest emotions, memories, and desires, so as to have a deeper and more comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the characters.

In terms of narrative techniques, it breaks the logical order of traditional linear narratives and uses techniques such as association, inner monologue, and jumping thinking to create a non-linear dynamic narrative structure, which often gives readers a refreshing reading experience.

Because of this creative technique, stream-of-consciousness literature has an appeal beyond ordinary genres in exploring the complexity of human psychology, enhancing literary reality, and arousing readers' resonance.

But at the same time, its advantages also have shortcomings.

Because clear story clues and logic are abandoned, many stream-of-consciousness literature have plot jumps and confusing timelines, which poses a comprehension challenge for many ordinary readers.

Moreover, breaking conventions in narrative techniques can easily cause a problem. The traditional plot drive and dramatic conflict are abandoned, making many stream-of-consciousness literary works relatively low in watchability.

Therefore, for stream-of-consciousness literary works, readers need to have a certain amount of reading patience and literary literacy to be able to follow the author's thinking trajectory and enter the world of the novel.

Since the concept of stream-of-consciousness literature was introduced to China, no writer has been able to create eye-catching works in this important branch of modern literature.

Of course there are factors of the times and politics, but we have to admit that the domestic literary circle does not have a deep understanding of the stream of consciousness. Writers have long been immersed in the creative soil of classicism, realism and revolutionary romanticism, and they lack the ability to jump out.

The courage to come out.

The emergence of "Raiko's Summer" can be said to have broken the embarrassing situation of stream-of-consciousness literature in China.

This novel has the distinct advantages of stream-of-consciousness literature, while retaining strong storytelling and readability.

The editors of "Contemporary" were amazed by the unique style of this novel when they first reviewed it, so they made an exception and gave it such a high treatment.

After the novel was published, it lived up to the expectations of the editors. The novel was published in April, just as Lin Chaoyang won two awards at the National Outstanding Short Story Award, becoming the focus of heated discussions among the domestic literary circles and readers.

"The Summer of Lai Zi" is Lin Chaoyang's first novel, which naturally attracted a lot of attention.
