Anecdotes of characters

Colin searched for the bag in the newspaper

Ke Ling once recalled: "I'm interested in literature and art, and there are many writers who contact the literary and art circles. In other people's opinion, I should compile a literary supplement, but I compiled a mass supplement" words of the readers ", and the one with the deepest feelings is also" words of the readers. "

"Readers' words" is one of the supplements of Wen Wei Po. It was founded on New Year's day in 1946. Until May 24, 1947, the daily newspaper was closed and met with readers almost every day. "Although the area is small, the garden is open. From national affairs to trivial matters, and even personal pain and itching, you can contribute when you have opinions, discuss when you have problems, accuse when you have righteous indignation, express when you have grievances or other difficult problems, or you can think of solutions. Human beings have the duty to help each other. We can join hands here and meet each other sincerely. "

Interestingly, on December 14, 1946, the reader's words published colling's looking for a briefcase: "I lost a briefcase on a tricycle on dumei road at about 7 p.m. on December 9, 1946. Most of the briefcases were irrelevant personal manuscripts and letters, and they were worthless. One of them, however, was a collection book for Mr. Tao Xingzhi's memorial Education Fund. Unfortunately, it was lost because he was too busy with his life to collect it. " "Judging from the situation at that time, this leather bag should have been obtained by the tricycle driver. I would like to request that the donation book and manuscripts and letters be returned. It is useless for others to get these things, but it does not matter to me personally. I think if a friend of the coachman sees this notice, he will be able to help. The bag can be given to you, and you should be rewarded according to your consideration. I'd like to receive your letter from Wen Wei Po, 149yuanmingyuan road. I'm sorry to hear that.

The association between Xu Kailei and Ke Ling

In the year when the Anti Japanese war broke out, Xu Kailei left his hometown and came to Shanghai from Ningbo. The next year, at the age of 16, he submitted to the supplement of "century wind" edited by Ke Ling of Wen Wei Po with a literary dream. Later, he was fortunate to meet his predecessor Ke Ling and started his long writing career with Ke Ling's help. Since then, they have been friends with each other for a lifetime.

On August 14, 1977, Ke Ling, who had gone through a lot of calamities, published his prose "the age of Leaping Horse and Yangge" in the supplement of Wen Wei Po's "Pen Club" by Xu Kailei. From then on, he issued a voice of accusing the "Cultural Revolution" and publicizing human nature in the literary world. At this time, Xu Kailei took charge of the "Pen Club" and actively promoted the older generation of writers and artists to publish their works, such as Ba Jin's a letter, which had a great social impact. When Colin published this article, his organizational relationship had not yet been restored. Although living in the same city, Ke Lingwei published articles with Xu Kailei frequently, with different appellations. On two occasions, Xu Kailei expressed "dissatisfaction" with his appellation, and Colin fully deserved Xu Kailei's respect. In the isolated island period of the last century, Xu Kailei, who was still studying in University, had helped with the editorial work of Vientiane magazine edited by Ke Ling. After the victory of the Anti Japanese War, Ke Ling took Xu Kailei to interview the cultural circles who came back from Chongqing.

In his short preface, Colin described the relationship between them: "Kailei and I have been friends with each other for 40 years. At first, I compiled journals and he wrote articles; later, he compiled journals and I contributed articles. In the rugged and changeable world road, it is undoubtedly precious to have a long history of 40 years. " He summed up Xu Kailei's "literary and moral character" very finely. There is a classic adjective to Xu Kailei's prose style: "charming village girl". When later generations evaluate Xu Kailei's prose creation, they often quote Mr. colling's brilliant explanation.

Xu Kailei has been following Mr. Keling from his youth to his white hair. During the "Cultural Revolution", Xu Kailei was reprimanded for not cooperating with the foreign investigators to investigate Keling materials, and was driven out of the newspaper office by Zhulian to work in the three districts of Shanggang.

Main works

Title of the work

Theme of the work

Colin was engaged in prose creation in the early 1930s, which is the growth period of modern prose from argumentative prose to aesthetic prose. The writers who have been looking for a new way for modern prose since the May 4th movement strongly advocate the beautiful vernacular prose expressing true feelings. Under the new historical conditions, they "create new essays to make essays get rid of fame and morale and become tools of the new era." Especially during the Anti Japanese War, after the discussion of the popularization of literature and art, how the essays and lyric prose changed from "trivia" to "bloody storm" has become the goal and creative center of most writers and artists.

Artistic features

Colin is involved in many fields of art, such as prose, fairy tale, drama, film and so on. During the Anti Japanese War and the war of liberation in China, he wrote a lot of essays criticizing the current situation. He mainly used essays as a weapon for social criticism and civilization criticism. Therefore, the prose of this period is permeated with a strong spirit of revolutionary rationalism. However, the special space-time environment of Gudao makes his prose creation present the interweaving state of two rational spirits. We should not only shout for justice, but also avoid the pursuit of secret service organizations. Therefore, in addition to the essays criticizing the current situation, there are also some essays exploring the ideal personality and the national inferiority, showing a tendency of humanistic care. The author's personality is deeply influenced by traditional Confucianism. No matter what kind of prose trend, it reflects that the author is deeply influenced by Chinese tradition, especially by the plot of Confucianism helping the world. What the author advocates is masculine personality.
