Characteristics of literature
reportage
The prominent feature of Xu Chi's reportage is the scientific and technological theme. His characters, such as Chen Jingrun, Li Siguang, Cai Xitao and Zhou Peiyuan, are outstanding scientists in their respective fields. Xu Chi devoted himself to the theme of science and technology, set up statues for scientific and technological personnel, and praised the spirit of science, which has the significance of literary history in the expansion of the theme and the exploration of the theme. The success of Goldbach's conjecture is also reflected here.
In contemporary history, intellectuals have been regarded as the object of transformation and education, and studying science and technology is regarded as a way of "white specialty". Correspondingly, there are few works in the history of contemporary literature that portray scientific and technological personnel as positive protagonists. Goldbach's conjecture, in the form of reportage, brought order out of order. It is the first time that Chen Jingrun gave a deep eulogy to a controversial scientific worker. Chen Jingrun has also become an important typical figure in the gallery of literary figures in the new era. Xu Chi's works tend to be "uniform" in theme, but he pays attention to the differences in the performance of the characters, pays attention to the performance of the characters' personality, and designs his own works The manifestation of special harmony. In writing Chen Jingrun, the author finds out the character's persistent pursuit of science from his external strangeness. In writing Li Siguang, he did not write the whole program of the characters, but carefully intercepted the typical sections in the process of the characters, and explored the most brilliant beauty of the characters.
Xu Chi's works pay attention to artistic conception and are good at mobilizing living materials for organic combination. In the whirlpool of turbulence
