The role of narrowing the gap between urban and rural areas in the production of characters going to the countryside

The year 2020 is the final year of building a well-off society in an all-round way, and it is also the decisive moment for the task of getting rid of poverty and entering the "last mile". In the face of this great struggle and great project, literature is not absent, nor can it be absent. How to complete poverty alleviation and Xinxiang village writing from a historical perspective, that is, how to complete the writing of rural China in the new period, is an important topic for writers.

For the ever-changing China, the local China writing is still fresh. When discussing the issue of "writing to the countryside" in rural China, Mr. Fei Xiaotong said: "If the rural grassroots in China society has changed, only then can writing go to the countryside". Obviously, profound changes have taken place at the grassroots level in China. "Native China" written by Mr. Fei Xiaotong in the1940s has already become history. Not only is writing going to the countryside, but the gap between urban and rural areas is also narrowing, and rural areas in China are striding forward on the road of rural revitalization. In the new era of China, it is no longer a question of "writing to the countryside", but a question of how to complete the writing of rural China in the new era from a historical perspective, which can be described as "literature going to the countryside". Whether our "literature going to the countryside" can go better and further is a problem that needs serious consideration.

Observe reality with literature and illuminate life.

History is a long river, and the torrent is rolling and unstoppable. In the great new era, the people of China are making history every day, and we are making history every day. How to tell the story of contemporary rural areas in China and truly present the development and changes of Xinxiang Village, literature must firmly grasp the main contradiction in China society and observe and examine the arduousness, creativity and far-reaching historical and practical significance of poverty alleviation with Marxist materialist dialectics.

It has always been the great dream of the party and the government to strive to get rid of poverty in areas where the old and the young are poor. History and reality have proved that getting rid of poverty is one of the most wonderful chapters of China's story. We writers should take the people as the center, go deep into life, take root in people, seek truth from facts through investigation and study, proceed from reality, closely focus on the fact that the main contradiction in China society in the new period has been transformed into the contradiction between the people's growing need for a better life and unbalanced development, seek answers, reflect on reality with literature, and illuminate life.

The principal social contradiction is the coordinate origin of social development and progress, and it is also a barometer to examine China. Implementing accurate poverty alleviation and promoting rural revitalization strategy is one of the important strategies to solve the main contradictions in our society. Only by grasping the main contradiction of poverty alleviation can we grasp the lifeline of China's agriculture, farmers and rural issues and deeply understand the practical significance given by the new era. The people in the old revolutionary base areas and the old revolutionary base areas have made great sacrifices and contributions to the China revolution, which is our "spiritual highland", but their economic life has also been in a "depression" for a long time, forming a huge contrast. How to describe and describe this contrast, analyze its historical reasons, process and results, accurately explain the background, process and direction of development between the present and the past and between generations, and explore ways to solve the unbalanced and inadequate development, the historical changes of Xinxiang Village are exactly what literature needs to pay attention to.

Guide Xinxiang village to be good, upward and good with literature.

Poverty is a chronic disease in the development of human society, a historical phenomenon and a world phenomenon. Not only developing countries are deeply involved, but also developed countries are hard to avoid. Can you get rid of poverty? How to get rid of poverty? This is a major issue facing all mankind, and China handed over a qualified answer sheet. Therefore, poverty alleviation and Xinxiang Village should be one of the most noteworthy and important fields in contemporary China literature, which is a rich mine.

Since the founding of New China, especially in the 40 years of reform and opening up, the great practice of poverty alleviation in China has gone through different historical stages, from relief poverty alleviation to development poverty alleviation, and then to the basic strategy of precision poverty alleviation and precision poverty alleviation established in the new era, which has opened up a road of poverty alleviation with China characteristics, contributed China wisdom and China plan to the development of human destiny, and also contributed to the local China in the new era from a historical perspective. In other words, only by bringing poverty alleviation into the national strategy of reform and opening up can our literary creation gain a sense of historical depth, fresh vitality and majestic creativity.

Development is the general way to get rid of poverty. On the basis of development and according to the phased objectives, China has always tilted its development resources to poor areas and poor people as much as possible, promoted the transformation of poverty alleviation work from "blood transfusion" to "hematopoiesis", guided the people to help the poor, and implemented "paying equal attention to intelligence and intelligence" to fundamentally eradicate poverty. "God lives in a box, but ambition is the key." Getting rid of poverty and getting rich depends on your determination. As long as you have ambition and confidence, there is no hurdle to get through. Obviously, getting rid of poverty and getting rich has brought earth-shaking changes to the countryside, showing a new atmosphere, new fashion and new character. Therefore, in the writing of rural areas in China in the new era, we should see that the people are not only "rich in pockets" but also "rich in brains" in the great practice of getting rid of poverty. Now we are in the transition period from poverty alleviation to rural revitalization. In this brand-new historical scene, we should use literature to advocate socialist core values, seek brand-new clues, shape brand-new characters, record brand-new practices, tell brand-new stories, guide Xinxiang village to develop towards goodness, upward and upward, enrich people's spiritual world and enhance people's spiritual strength.

Literature should grasp the main axis of the development and change of Xinxiang village

Literature in the new period is socialist literature and people's literature. In recent years, rural narrative has become more and more popular. However, it is worth noting that, influenced by western literature and western values, China's contemporary literature has lost its standardization, integrity, profundity and broadness because it is keen on personal feelings, addicted to private experience, overflowing with desire and consumption, feeling inferior to micro-narrative, indulging in historical nothingness and repeating life fragments. Some writers' local China writing fell into self-pity, moaning without illness, and even "sold dog meat", promoting and marketing their fictional local works under the guise of non-fiction. In the name of micro-narrative, oral history and field investigation, they fictionalize villages or imaginary characters that cannot be found in administrative divisions and exaggerate some stage problems in the process of rural development; Or chanting a set of so-called "standards" established in the west, replacing "other people's stories" with "my world", and then magnifying non-mainstream things in rural areas with a microscope; Or typify trivial and backward cases, and cover up and ignore the development and progress of rural areas and the overall truth, goodness and beauty with ulterior motives.

What needs to be criticized in particular is that some works are "encoded" by "transcendental ideology and cultural concepts", and after carving and modification, "many irrelevant and lifeless materials are turned into stories", and then a "non-fiction" place is presented by metaphor, and "China" is put in. The "homesickness" pervaded in this kind of works embodies the ruin and loss of the countryside, as well as the weakness and darkness of human nature, which is hostile, resentful and feminine and very melodramatic. However, the old villagers turned a blind eye to their yearning for a better life and their struggle on the road to a well-off life.

"When you are bright, China will no longer be dark." China's writing in the new period is by no means to cover up and express with fictional metaphors, nor to sing an elegy for Xinxiang Village by "redeeming oneself". Of course, we must face up to the problems existing in the development of Xinxiang village, just as we need to face up to the shadows in the sun. Therefore, the local writing in China in the new era should, as Mr. Fei Xiaotong said, "We should not only build a bridge between the past and the present, but also build a bridge between generations of society, otherwise there will be no culture and life we can enjoy now."

In the writing of rural areas in China in the new era, we should firmly grasp the main contradictions and aspects of social development, the theme and mainstream of the great project of getting rid of poverty, and the main axis and subject of the development and change of Xinxiang Village. We should not only remember homesickness, but also reflect people's yearning for a better life. Otherwise, our literature will not be able to explain the great changes that have taken place and are taking place in China, and will not be able to keep up with the sonorous pace of the new era.
