Chen overseas report

A female writer who describes the life of China people in foreign countries.

In 2009, I saw Chen presiding over the 3rd International Pen Meeting of Overseas New Immigrant Writers in China, Shaanxi. Later, I saw her giving a speech and signing books at the launch of Living in the Gulf of Mexico sponsored by Hebei Education Publishing House. Then she rushed to Zhongshan, Guangdong Province, and walked on the red carpet of the first Overseas Chinese Literature Award Hall. ...

Chen's busy figure this year reminds me of the energy of a person's life.

We often use physical methods to draw the position and speed of objects in the universe, so as to calculate the motion position of objects at a certain time in the future. Chen is a famous overseas writer and critic. Her life experiences, including her 5 years old, her 15 years old, her 25 years old, her 35 years old and her 45 years old, follow her figure rhythmically and travel through time in order to find out her existing form and its extension at the time point of 10.

Experienced the Cultural Revolution in my hometown.

1967, 5-year-old Chen was left at her grandmother's house in the countryside by her parents who participated in the Cultural Revolution. Despite the care of her sick grandmother, the cold rural class struggle environment still filled her with fear in her children's hearts. Rui Lin Jr. wore a "Blagi" skirt only for children in the city, and was laughed at and chased by a bunch of children in the village from time to time. She had to hide in the pigsty and talk to the pigs, catching fleas for the pigs, and spend the day after day ... In the evening, Rui Lin Jr. leaned against the wall of the pigsty and watched her grandmother in the west fall behind the mountain inch by inch, thinking and looking forward to it. Tomorrow morning, her mother will decide. The fire reflected a string of tears hanging on my face …

Yes, Rui Lin even wanted to let the flood wash her away and let the train drive her away ... but this does not mean that the child wants to end his life, but wants to leave this place as soon as possible and get rid of this unbearable loneliness.

At the end of 1977, 15-year-old Chen was admitted to Northwest University and became one of the few young college students in that year. Rui Lin Jr. went through the registration formalities like an adult and walked into the dormitory. "Aunt, which one is my bed?" After the sound was made, she realized that it was wrong and called it wrong. How embarrassing. The students in Class 77 are not uncles and aunts, but also her eldest brother and sister. When I graduated from college, no one expected that "On Lu Yin", written by the youngest college student in the department, won the Excellence Award for the graduation thesis of liberal arts. 1982, Chen, who was under 20 years old, went to the lecture hall of the university. Some students are older than the teachers. At the end of the semester, the headmaster told her, "I decided to send you to Dalian to attend the summer training class of the National Seminar on Modern Literature." In Dalian, Chen saw the sea for the first time in his life. Oh, how magnificent and vast it is! She is thinking that at the end of the sea, there will be more wonderful things. What excites her even more is that in the past few days, she met almost all the authorities and top experts in the field of modern literature research in China at that time, and showed their academic thoughts in a concentrated way. A string of resounding names: Tang Tao, Yao Yao, Qian Gurong, Lin Fei, Ma Liangchun, Fan Jun, Yan Jiayan ... On this splendid "stage", the appearance of Mr. Lin Fei, an expert in prose research, made her particularly focused. A colorful neon illusion gradually became clear before Rui Lin's eyes-she wanted to learn from Lu Xun and prose! Taking advantage of the warm wind in Dalian, Chen once again studied for a master's degree in Lu Xun studies in the name of Professor Zhang Hua of Northwest University. During the postgraduate period, Chen participated in the writing of Modern Prose of China under the guidance of his tutor. This book won the academic award of that year. After graduating from master's degree, she transferred to Shaanxi Normal University to teach. 199 1 was recommended by the school to attend the 1 10 anniversary Lu Xun's birthday commemorative meeting held in Beijing, and was received by the central leadership in Huairentang, Zhongnanhai. This trip to Beijing, however, strengthened her confidence in getting a doctorate in Lu Xun's studies.

However, for Chen Lai, the summer of 1992 was not just a doctoral exam, but an unprecedented ordeal and choice on the road of life. Just as she was taking the PhD exam, Mr. Wang got a visa to study in the United States. Career and family suddenly stood at a crossroads, which made her so entangled. In the end, she followed the logic of reason and life and chose the misty road in the distance.

Some of Chen's published works.

Write the story of China people living in the United States elsewhere.

The book Travel Around the World-My Days in the United States was published by Lin Fei, who wrote many stories about China people living in the United States and his initial struggles and struggles. With sincere writing, the author describes the difficult process of cross-border and cross-cultural life transplantation of new immigrants from China. To this end, Houston Mayor lee brown specially awarded her the certificates of "Honorary Citizen" and "Cultural Goodwill Ambassador". This year, she was 35 years old.

/kloc-in the winter of 0/992, Chen Yiran bid farewell to Ann, Beijing, relatives, classmates, colleagues, teachers and friends. Of course, she also bid farewell to the land where she was born and traveled across the ocean to the United States on the other side of the ocean.

Chen, who had to start from scratch, first resolutely bid farewell to her newly reunited husband and the ice and snow in the north, took the "big greyhound" and came to Houston alone, starting a brave journey based on the $65,438+0,000 saved by her husband from the scholarship. At first, she packed some jiaozi and took it to the gate of a university to sell, but it didn't work. Her jiaozi has become a ball before it is sold. Then she applied for a job as a nanny. In less than a month, she was all thumbs and nobody cared. In any case, the basic fund of $65,438+$0,000 has been expanded. Here comes the opportunity: an international student from Taiwan Province Province returned to China and was willing to sell his car at a low price. The condition is that she must drive him to the airport and then drive the car back by herself. Chen took his driver's license so-so, and drove the successful car on the expressway in a thrilling way. When she finally got a car, she got a good job at once-washing dishes in a restaurant in China.

At night, Chen looked at the stars through the skylight, full of passion. She wants to write a story about the struggle of China people in this city, and write a book for her mother and the elders in her hometown. 1998, her "Walking the World-My Days in America" was published by China Federation of Literary and Art Circles Press. The book wrote: "Pain is also life, and experience is also wealth! I want to write, write down the impact of foreign countries, and write down the hardships of a new generation of immigrants! "

In 2000, Chen's prose "Looking at the Moon in a Foreign Land" won the first prize of the global prose of the Los Angeles Writers Association. This is the first time that she has won a literary prize overseas since she settled in the United States.

Looking at the Moon in a Foreign Land is undoubtedly a rare classic in overseas Chinese prose creation since the new century. The author threw herself at a foreign land and looked at the moon in a quiet night to express her feelings. The faint moonlight is like water, and I am begging for an unforgettable homesickness, which gurgles out from the bottom of my heart, natural and cordial, simple and lingering, and I can't see the slightest cultural frustration. It can be regarded as a nostalgic and elegant literary song "Homesickness Song" by contemporary overseas travelers. I believe that the affectionate hometown folk paintings depicted in it will definitely affect the homesickness of every wanderer in his wandering life and trigger endless nostalgia for his hometown.

In 2003, Autumn Tour in England was selected into World Chinese Literature magazine, and the second collection of essays, Honeymoon Paris Walking on the Meridian of the Earth, was published in China Baihua Literature and Art Publishing House. "From Canada to Mexico, from Western Europe to Northern Europe ..." The expansion of the author's vision has directly brought about profound changes in his thoughts, emotions, cognition, judgment and writing practice.

She is determined to continue writing. Not only write it yourself, but also shout for all new immigrant writers. She understands their pain very well. Her ambition is to push every China writer and China writer into the light of the world literature stage. Chen's contributions in the history of China literature range from Looking at the Peak from the Ridge —— On New Immigrant Writers in North America to Selected Comments on New Immigrant Novels in North America and Selected Readings of Contemporary Overseas Writers.
