Extended data:

Ordinary World is a million-word novel by China writer Lu Yao. This is a novel with a panoramic view of China's contemporary urban and rural social life, consisting of three books.

Ordinary World is a literary work that eulogizes ordinary workers in a warm and realistic way. Compared with life, "Ordinary World" has a higher level of humanity, and the writer turns suffering into a spiritual driving force for progress. There are many writers who describe suffering in the new period, but few writers really turn suffering into a spiritual motivation, and Lu Yao is one of them.

This novel shows the difficult living situation of ordinary little people, and at the same time tries to write their beautiful hearts and indomitable struggle spirit to overcome many difficulties. The protagonists of the novel, Sun Shaoan and Sun Shaoping, are both young people struggling on the poverty line. However, they constantly strive for self-improvement, struggle against fate with tenacious perseverance and pursue their own moral perfection.

Among them, Sun Shaoan is a struggler based on his native land and determined to change his destiny; Sun Shaoping is a "fugitive". He understands modern civilization and is eager to integrate into this city. Their stories constitute the bipolar experience of ordinary people's life struggle in China society.

Artistic feature

1, structure

The time span of the works is from the beginning of 1975 to 1985, which reflects the great historical changes of urban and rural social life in China in the past ten years. For such a huge project, Lu Yao adopted the "three-line combination method", that is, three lines were arranged in the development of the plot and the activities of the characters, all of which were arranged in chronological order, including some major historical events that occurred in China during this decade.

The first clue, centering on Sun Shaoping, describes that rural youths such as Sun Shaoping, Jin Bo, Lan Xiang and Jin Xiu are eager for knowledge, civilization and rich spiritual and material life in modern cities because of the differences between urban and rural areas and the differences between mental and physical labor. They tried every means to get out of the countryside.

Entering the city reflects the contradictory mentality of these young people in the process of pursuing modern civilization, including their contradiction with the society or the natural environment, their contradiction with the people around them or their own contradiction, and reflects the great differences in "cross-zone" social life and urban and rural culture.

The second clue takes Sun Shaoan as the center and Shuangshui Village, Eleventh Section and Yuanxi County as the main locations. Mainly wrote the extreme "Left" route to the people of Shuangshui Village, and the difficult course of the people of Shuangshui Village to become rich after the Third Plenary Session. This paper discusses the cognitive significance of "full-time politician", a complex phenomenon brought by "Left-leaning" politics to rural political and economic life. It reveals that this abnormal politics is the reason for farmers' long-term poverty.

After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, rural economic reform and land contracting have different performances in Tian, Sun Yuting and other "politicians", revealing the truth that no one can stop the wave of reform, and also pointing out some hidden dangers and crises in rural reform.

The third line, in the order of Tian Fujun's promotion, shows the political struggle and route struggle from village to county, prefecture and province. This main line of struggle runs through the whole work. It reflects that the political struggle and line struggle in different historical periods are not only fierce within the party, but also always so clear-cut.

Praise the representatives who fought for the correct line, show that they have contributed their own strength to promoting historical progress, deny and criticize the wrong line, describe the problems existing in some cadres positively, and point out the potential disadvantages. The characters in the three lines have different personalities and reflect different themes, thus maintaining a relative independence.

But if the work just ignores the intersection of the three lines in order to maintain relative independence, then the work will appear fragmented and monotonous. On the other hand, blind intersection and integration without independence will become rigid and show their abilities. It can be seen that the relationship between "independence" and "convergence" needs to be handled carefully by writers.

"Ordinary World" develops in parallel with three lines at the same time. It uses the relationship between characters and the connection of plots to choose the most suitable place as a link to connect the three lines, so that they cross from time to time until they are completely integrated. The characters on the three lines are inextricably linked, or they are related by blood, love and marriage, or the opposite of political struggle, and the relationship between the characters constitutes a complete whole.

Lu Yao is good at observing reality from a historical perspective, and he is also good at observing history from a realistic perspective. He always considers the content of social life in a long historical process, so the content of life reflected by the three lines is described by him in the times, social background and environment, so the composition and connection of each plot in his works are often connected, dense and changing.

In addition, the author also chooses Shuangshui Village as a link to Sun Shi's brother Tian Fujun, and the location of the plot is constantly changing with the activities of the characters in Shuangshui Village. So three cables are like three rivers in the works, and Shuangshui Village is like the flowing water at the source of these three rivers. Sometimes they flow separately, and sometimes they cross together, which reflects their organic connection and mutual care except relative independence. This kind of connection and care, * * * all serve to express the theme, reflecting not only a wide range of social life, but also rich connotations. ?

2. Character image

Ordinary World is an easy-to-understand novel, which pays attention to traditional values and realistic writing techniques, the coherence of the story and the shaping of complete characters, while not letting go of the romantic factors in the plot. Lu Yao writes as Balzac's "secretary of the times", especially in the description of the leadership represented by Tian, which is objective, accurate and true, and captures the pulse of the times and the difficulty of people's concept change from details.

As Lu Yao said: "A writer's greatest talent should be to be able to interpret the great content that makes people tremble in daily life." Therefore, it is not enough to have a thrilling plot, but also to have a profound observation and insight into life, and then use realistic brushwork to integrate this experience into the plot. In this way, the novel has both a grand framework and full rhyming details.

Realistic brushwork and straightforward writing style, as well as Lu Yao's creative philosophy of "for the people", constitute the magnificent aesthetic pattern of this novel. "Ordinary World" seems to be a magnificent epic, which embodies the vigorous and powerful social symphony, broad human mind, gorgeous life color and rich and solid suffering, as well as the heavy and heavy life suffering of the older generation.

Young people's romantic and magnificent life imagination and dynamic action ability, as well as their life thinking from life, all constitute a part of this aesthetic pattern, which has made such a text as undulating as the Loess Plateau and as magnificent as a river.

At the same time, Lu Yao attached great importance to the typicality of characters. Not to mention Sun Shaoping and other major figures, even minor figures are very typical. For example, Sun Yuting, a rural "revolutionary", is a special product of a special era, and Tian, secretary of the Party branch, is a typical rural cadre who is pretentious and cautious.

Miao Kai, secretary of the district party committee, Zhang Shengmin, and so on. These characters all carry the label of their identity, and every move makes people know their professional characteristics and behavioral characteristics formed by professional characteristics at a glance, so as to explore the personality psychology and cultural mentality of all kinds of characters and convey the rhythm of the times.

3. Language

The language of the novel is simple and heavy, permeated with the writer's strong emotional color. In the smooth story narration, the finishing touch of the meaning and value of life often appears, such as: "Life is an endless struggle! Only when you choose your goals and feel that your efforts have not been in vain in your struggle will your life be enriched and your spirit will be forever young. "

"People's vitality is strong in such suffering. Think about it, when the desert wasteland eliminated most plants with its harsh natural conditions, the beautiful red willow like a girl and the strong burdock like a soldier grew tenaciously-so enthusiastic poets sang and praised them tirelessly!

These words of wisdom are written with a pen, and naturally come. They are even remembered by many readers and become their life guides. At the same time, the simple and melancholy mood, simple and clear expression and rich daily language of Xintianyou in northern Shaanxi have become the language materials of the novel, giving the written language a concrete and sensible image and adding strong local characteristics.
