As soon as Zhang Qin returned to the small town to work, she was arranged to live in the village of her boyfriend's hometown. Love and career were intertwined. She had to ask, could she stay in the village after returning from the coast? The left-behind child Jiaxin is looking for her mother who has run away but has not returned. The live broadcast of the young woman who returned home was amplified and spread, and spread to the coast, attracting the attention of many villagers. Will her mother be in the audience? Zhang Qin and Jiaxin came to the coastal city of Humen and were invited to work for a media company. Will she leave the village by the Meijiang River? Everything in the world is turning like a waterwheel, and many mysteries of life are finally revealed at a coastal gathering... The novel is based on the village where the writer has been stationed for four years and the Camellia oleifera enterprise where he has followed and interviewed for eight years. The plot is arranged in the fight against the epidemic and the resumption of work. The revival of the waterwheel is used as a metaphor for rural revitalization, and it depicts the ups and downs of the Meijiang people's fortunes over the past century.
It's a good story teller, but I can't appreciate the poems at the end.
Mr. Fan Jianming is not only a writer, but more importantly, he is a local writer, a southern Gansu writer. He uses words to describe his beloved hometown and spread the culture of his hometown, which is another way of serving his hometown. I also want to dedicate whatever I can to my hometown and my destination to make Jiangxi culture shine.
"As long as human beings have a good wish, they will be like a waterwheel in the living water, with hope of turning." As long as people are running. As we move forward and work harder, the waterwheel will never stop turning, and the waterwheel will continue to thrive.
Continuing from the previous article - This is a kind of love generated by children's strong curiosity, pure love and pure appreciation. Jiaxin even regarded it as an emotional sustenance, imagining her mother coming back after the waterwheel was repaired, making people feel distressed and envious of the innocence and innocence of a child. The waterwheel not only has practical value, it is also the emotional sustenance of the villagers. In the novel, the author writes that Zhang Ya is like a waterwheel, Zhang Qin is like a waterwheel, the old actor is like a waterwheel, and the whole village is like a waterwheel. Everyone is not a waterwheel, but everyone is like a waterwheel. The resurrected waterwheel symbolizes the people who faced difficulties but moved forward bravely, the rural areas with rapid economic transformation and development, and the entire land of southern Jiangxi and the entire society. Secretary Zhang Qin named the restored waterwheel "Endless Life". Every person, every culture, and every spirit is like a waterwheel. The right path in the world is the vicissitudes of life, and the turning of the waterwheel brings good things to the world.
The fourth attractive aspect of "A Brief History of Waterwheels" is that it shows the earth-shaking changes brought about by the collision of developed modern civilization and traditional local culture. I was deeply impressed by the concept of Luye Company culture in the novel. "Strong faith, truth-seeking and pragmatism, hard work, and striving for excellence are the red Soviet area culture. Lush branches, evergreen all year round, vigorous life, and accumulation are the green Camellia oleifera culture. Hard-working and courageous people Pioneering, tracing one's origins, being nostalgic and patriotic are the blue Hakka culture. "The article spent a lot of time describing Hakka customs and natural landscapes, which gave me a deeper understanding of the humanistic and natural beauty of southern Gansu. We have an obligation to protect and spread the culture of our hometown and let it go further. The traditional culture of southern Jiangxi in the book has gained new life with the popularization of modern scientific and technological civilization. With the technical support of Luye Company and the efforts of village cadres and villagers, Red Army Forest has been publicized. More and more people have learned about the red story that happened in this village. The camellia oleifera industry has been transformed and mechanized and efficient. Hakka culture has spread out of small villages, and Hakka cuisine can be found all over the country. In an era of rapid development, it is impossible for rural areas to stick to the old rules and not make changes. It will only cause the culture to decline and eventually disappear. We must use developed modern civilization to actively promote regional characteristic culture and actively innovate traditional technologies to make breakthroughs in traditional rural industries, such as live broadcast promotion of large orders, Greenfield Company's "Emulsion Breaking Plan", and restored waterwheels. The role of cadres stationed in the village is also very important. Although Zhang Ya and Zhang Qin in the novel were confused, had doubts, and had misunderstandings with the villagers at the beginning of their work, they still completed their work outstandingly, encouraged the poor households in the village to actively make a living, and helped to escape from poverty. Poverty alleviation, the launch of the Camellia Camellia Cultural Festival, and suggestions for rural tourism and other industries. Bailu Town's ability to achieve rural revitalization is inseparable from the efforts of these cadres. The country's poverty alleviation policy and rural revitalization strategy also play a leading role in rural development. Only with the help of many parties and the efforts of the villagers themselves can such earth-shaking changes occur. If all villages across the country are like the book, then the gap between urban and rural areas will gradually narrow, and the countryside will look different again.
The fifth touching feature of "A Brief History of Waterwheels" is that it focuses on current hot topics and reflects on reality. The beginning of the novel is based on the background of epidemic prevention and control. Today, when I read the description in the book, I still think of the days of lockdown. The cultural level in the village was relatively low and there were many stubborn old people, so the prevention and control was even more difficult, which reflected the difficulty of the work of village cadres. Not only the epidemic, the book also reflects thoughts on real-life issues such as cyber violence, left-behind children, drowning prevention education, son preference, animal protection, women trafficking, and opposition to war. "The way a student used the Internet to kill his class teacher made me resentful for a long time." The Internet is a double-edged sword, and it can become a sharp weapon that hurts people if not careful. We must resolutely oppose online violence. "Bad words hurt people in June." We must not become such evil people. Also in the countryside, there are many wives who run away in anger like Jiaxin's mother, there are many left-behind children like Jiaxin, there are many elders who favor sons over daughters like Jiaxin's grandfather, and there are many women who are trafficked like Yang Niuniu. As a woman, I always feel sad when I read about their fate. These are hot social issues and issues that require attention. The author not only focuses on the history of village transformation, but also projects it on the entire society. The purpose of exposing these social problems is to attract our attention, sound our alarm, and seek solutions. We should use our modest power as much as possible to spread the word and call for publicity to reduce the occurrence of tragedies. At the same time, we should protect ourselves, reflect on ourselves, and add warmth to society.
The sixth touching thing about "A Brief History of Waterwheels" is that it is full of hope and promotes positive energy. After reading this book, my biggest feeling is that the whole book is like an arrow that always points upward and never turns. The overall atmosphere is very high-spirited and positive. Every character in the book is full of hope for life. Zhang Ya encountered various difficulties when she was stationed in the village, but finally achieved rapid development of the village; Li Yong's company's "emulsion-breaking plan" failed to make progress, but finally made a breakthrough; Jiu Sheng's family was hindered by poverty, but finally became a big boss with good management; the character mentioned in the book - Chen Chi lamented the poverty of his family and country, but finally established the Binxing Society and left a lasting legacy in history. Everyone is running forward with all their strength. Even after going through wind and rain, even if the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, these lovely people have not given up on their goals, but are actively looking for new ways out and keep going and doing it unswervingly. As a person, you must have a goal, a direction for progress, unwavering faith, and an unyielding original intention. Only then can you be the door to success. The positive energy permeating the words infected and moved me, and also prompted me to go to distant places without regrets.
I always believe that artistic creation comes from reality. When I first read this novel, I felt that the characters and stories in the book were very real and touching, as if I was in dialogue with every character. After understanding the author's background, I understood that the source of this sense of reality came from the author's personal experience in the village and field trips, which made me admire the author even more. Because sometimes, it is difficult to describe the feelings and insights in words and record them with pen and paper. Mr. Fan Jianming not only did it, he also did it very well. Fan Jianming
People are running, waterwheels are endless
——Comment on Fan Jianming's novel "A Brief History of Waterwheels"
Xu Anni (College of Liberal Arts, Gannan Normal University)
The soil and water support the people. People enjoy the blessings brought by the land under their feet, but few people tie grass rings to repay this land and water. They always say that people should look forward and move forward, but I feel that someone has to look back and do something for their hometown. At this point, I resonate with Mr. Fan Jianming. Jiangxi's local writers are few and precious, which undoubtedly buries its rich history and culture. Someone needs to see it, dig it out, and spread it. Fan Jianming saw it, so he used the pen and paper in his hand to guide readers to see this wonderful custom of southern Jiangxi. "A Brief History of Waterwheels" is his classic work. It was selected as a support project of the Provincial Literature and Art Fund, and became a vessel to display and spread the scenery of southern Jiangxi and Hakka culture. It has flowed into the hearts of thousands of compatriots in southern Jiangxi and the hearts of foreigners who have never appreciated this beautiful scenery. This novel was created by combining the author's experience of four years in the village and eight years of tracking the camellia oil industry. What is revealed between the lines is the reality and sense of personal experience. It is as if you are in that reborn small village, walking through the road to wealth in Bailu Town, and feeling the huge impact of the national rural revitalization policy. This novel has made a great contribution to the promotion of Gannan culture, Soviet area culture and national policies. This article is based on my own experience after reading the novel, combined with the highlights in the novel, to talk about my views and thoughts.
The first eye-catching feature of "A Brief History of Waterwheels" is that with the little girl Jiaxin as the center, various characters radiate out like a spider web, depicting a rural group portrait of mutual help and harmony. The group portrait-style description is more vivid and more intuitively shows the collective style of the village. Although there are many characters depicted in the novel, I think everyone is flesh and blood, with their own uniqueness and special experiences. The author adds their life experiences little by little, thereby making the characters more three-dimensional. From the very beginning, the novel establishes the background of Jiaxin's search for relatives, and then extends it to the cadres stationed in the village, the villagers, the people who left their hometown, and other characters. Everyone is inextricably linked to each other, as inseparable as a spider's thread. This special bond and connection is precisely the beauty of this novel. Whether it is the care and support between the village cadre Zhang Ya and the villagers, the touching love story between Zhang Qin and Li Yong, or even the innocent friendship between Jiaxin, Jingjing and Yali, they are all the most simple and sincere emotions. Among them, the ones that impressed me the most were the "three elders": veterans, old opera players and old carpenters. The veteran sharpshooter felt sad because his comrades died in the battle and he was left to live alone. He felt guilty and threw the shotgun because he scared off Jiaxin's mother. He had a deep softness in his heart; the old opera actor like the Thousand-Hand Guanyin was proficient in folk arts and composed a play to praise the fire-fighting old man Yan Sheng. His puppet swing was wonderful; the old carpenter with dexterity inherited his father's legacy and decided to repair the waterwheel to restore its original appearance. His hands showed his wisdom. It is in these older generations that we see the scars and traces left by history, and we see the diligence and simplicity of the people along the Meijiang River. Their experiences may prevent them from quickly adapting to the new technological life, but we should not abandon them in the past, nor should we despise their outdated ideas. Instead, we should extend our hands and pull them into the new world.
The second eye-catching feature of "A Brief History of Waterwheels" is that it is filled with a sense of history and red color, conveying a sense of mission passed down from generation to generation. The land of southern Jiangxi is the cradle of red culture, an old revolutionary area and a red Soviet area. Countless revolutionary stories have been staged here. Every grain of dust here is heavy, and every gust of wind here sings the melody of history. In the veterans' self-narratives, we saw the blood-stained battlefield of the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam and heard the cry of six hundred and twenty-sixths. We also saw that in early 1933, the arsenal of the Central Red Army moved to this remote mountain village, leaving behind a waterwheel and a red color that will never fade away. History is so profound. The heroic souls of the revolutionary ancestors have transformed into the land of southern Jiangxi under their feet, raising countless descendants. The red culture is passed down from generation to generation, and the spirit of the Soviet area is indelible. Li Carpenter inherited his father's craftsman spirit and devoted himself to village construction; Yan Sheng inherited his father's Confucian self-sacrifice and sacrificed himself to save fires and forests; businessman Huo Nianzi inherited his mother Chunlan's homesickness and returned to his hometown to serve his family; Liu Xuanyuan inherited the blood of the Red Army and used the Red Army forest to make outstanding contributions to the camellia oleifera industry. The fire is passed down from generation to generation, not only the pure blood relationship, but also the red gene and dedication dissolved in the blood. Although the older generation has gradually faded out of the stage of the times, as long as this inheritance remains, their spirit will not be erased! The mission will not be forgotten! As Jiangxi people, we need books to tell red stories well, inherit red culture, actively participate in the construction of our hometown, and restore the glory of Jiangxi.
The third attractive aspect of "A Brief History of Waterwheels" is that the children's perspective and the adult perspective are interspersed and complement each other to reveal the mystery of the waterwheel that came back from the dead. The changing narrative perspective creates different reading experiences. The perspective changes multiple times in the novel, allowing readers to understand the entire story more comprehensively. The uniqueness of the novel is that it accurately captures a representative thing, that is, the waterwheel, and uses it to run through the entire story. "The water wheel, also known as the Kongming wheel, is my country's oldest agricultural irrigation tool. It is a superb labor skill created by our ancestors in the process of conquering the world. It is a precious historical and cultural heritage. It is said that the prototype was created by Bi Lan during the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. After the Three Kingdoms, Kong Ming After the improvement, it was promoted and used in the Shu Kingdom. It was widely used for agricultural irrigation during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It has a history of more than 1,700 years. "The waterwheel is a traditional agricultural tool. In the eyes of adults such as Zhang Ya and Li Yong, they care more about the use value of the waterwheel. In order to boost the economy of Bailu Town, Zhang Ya wants to repair the waterwheel so that it can become a cultural symbol and symbol of the village and drive the development of tourism and cultural entrepreneurship in the village. Li Yong painstakingly studied technology, built a steel waterwheel, completed the "Emulsion Breaking Plan", and made great contributions to the village's Camellia oleifera industry. Adults always have a more realistic perspective, while children can usually see a different landscape. Jiaxin fell in love with it at first sight when she accidentally saw the "house on half wheels".
Very down-to-earth, with plain language and vivid descriptions, as if you were there in person
I went to sea twenty years ago and to the countryside twenty years later. Times are changing. The water wheel is changing.
It's a good story teller, but I can't appreciate the poems at the end.
