Jiang's Road to Literary Creation

Reading about Jiang is the preface of "We, We-A Feast for the Post-80s", which contains more than 70 post-80s writers, including nearly 10 works by Jiang. After reading it, I have to say that this ginger is really talented and is a writing material.

? So far, most of Jiang's works are essays and essays. This style requires easy writing, decent writing, elegant connotation and far-reaching implications. She is not only the same, but also shows her own characteristics: citing the past to discuss the present and achieving her own life. Judging from the ancient figures, events and history cited in her works, she is well-read and has mixed tastes, which is extraordinary among her peers. The problem is that she not only read it, but also understood it. And her prose is also based on the events in daily life, expressing feelings in her hands, discussing merits in the tunnel and denying life in laughter. The calmness and self-confidence revealed in it can't help but make people amazing.

? We can't underestimate the post-80s generation, let alone the special literary talent of Jiang, who has a superb sense of language and sophistry, as well as a super calm and super sober mind. I think it is inappropriate to draw a line by age and treat them as children, even it is a mistake of age discrimination. It should be noted that different ages and experiences have different opportunities and experiences, which is not only a quantitative concept, but also a qualitative concept; Their generation has caught up with social change, cultural transformation and information explosion, and it is entirely possible to experience one life as ten, not to mention that we have experienced too many pale lives for too long.

? We see that Jiang said in "One Second Feature Film" that the interview with children on TV has never been out of control, which implies that children are too mature, and I think Jiang in writing has similar feelings. Look at her sharp words and the spirit of pointing out the mountains and rivers. How precocious is she like a teenager and how old is she like a student? I always feel that this leap-forward growth, which omits the process of childhood, not only has surprising gains, but also seems to have some regrettable shortcomings, whether it is growth or writing. This may be alarmist, but it is true.

? She is called a writing genius and a child prodigy writer by the media. Her words are so old that people are stunned-power, love, sex and incomprehensible history are all transformed into black humor or meaningful stories in her works. At the age of 65,438+05, she is now finishing her eighth book. She said, "I think it's time for me to write a great novel. She is the most striking post-80s generation. She has been interviewed by Time before, and her actions seem to be the focus of media attention.

? At the age of seven, he wrote his first collection of essays, at the age of nine, and at the age of eleven, he wrote the novel "In Development", which caused widespread controversy and discussion in all walks of life. She is the youngest columnist in China. She started writing columns at the age of 12. More than a dozen newspapers, such as Southern Metropolis Daily, Beijing News and Football News, have opened columns for her. She is also the president of China Young Writers Association. Recently, CCTV Tonight and Hunan Satellite TV invited her to record programs, and the China version of elle World Fashion Garden also invited her to take some photos with youthful themes. Recently, her new book "Rainbow Knight" was released.

? Interviewing Jiang is a happy process. This little boy and I have too many similarities. We have the same constellation, the same sensitivity and innocence as girls, and the same surname. We discuss our relationship with Chiang Kai-shek in the Genealogy of Chiang Kai-shek. We also have a little girl's hobby of eating cookies to save money. We also like Emily and Zhang Ailing, and we don't worship any post-80s writers, because I had a genius dream like her and died. Listening to her mental journey seems to be a review of her girlhood dreams. Those unfinished roads have an answer in her story. I sincerely say that I am jealous of her, but I admire her more.

? I didn't know who she was. After compiling her blog, I like her writing, especially her cleverness and sharpness. I can't wait to start interviewing her.

? Recently released: I am writing a new novel and will arrive in Wuhan on August 20th.

? Congratulations on the publication of your new book Rainbow Knight. If you were asked to score, how many points would you score?

? Jiang: 90 points and 30 points are encouragement points. After all, this is my first novel. What are the disadvantages? I read the book review of the Beijing News, and it's quite right. For example, the article describes excessive force in some places, but it is impossible for your own children to be right about everything.

? What have you been up to recently? I saw on your blog that "my life is quite degenerate now, and my daily activities are concentrated in the sofa area, with an error of less than one meter." I sit on the ground with a notebook all day writing novels, and I don't have to move to eat. The sun and the moon are upside down. Fall and nourish together, amen. " Is this the summer vacation I have enjoyed recently?

? Jiang: No, this summer, in addition to doing media publicity on some programs, taking photos and promoting new books, I devoted myself to writing new novels.

? Oh, writing a new book again. ...

? Jiang: Yes, The Rainbow Knight is a pure literary novel. I wrote it just to prove that I can write such a work. Next time I want to write a beautiful story, a campus story with some doubts about youth and love, and tell the story of two smart people. Based on the middle school attached to China Normal University, it is very comic.

? I heard that you are going to sign a new book in Wuhan at the end of August, so when are you going back to Wuhan?

? Jiang: I'm going to Beijing to record "Women in the World" on August 25th, so the publishing house arranged to go to Wuhan to sign the book these days, and then go directly to Beijing.

? You just 18 recorded "Women in the World". Do you feel uncertain? The guests they invited before may not be your age. What do you think of this problem?

? Jiang: It's all right. I have participated in the recording of many programs before, so I am very experienced. They invited me to participate in the recording of Women in the World. I may be the youngest woman to participate in the program, which can widen the age gap and let more viewers pay attention to their programs.

? I am who I am: an inferior and thrifty child who has never been in love.

? Why do you create works to prove to others? Do you care much about other people's criticism?

? Jiang: I will be very worried, because I am a child with extreme inferiority. I often see other people's criticisms of me on the Internet.

? Why do you feel inferior? Have you thought about the reason?

? Jiang: Before I published a book at the age of seven, I was not beautiful and had no special skills. I can't play the piano, play chess, write calligraphy or draw pictures. I can't be more ordinary. I felt particularly inferior at that time. The reason may be inherited in my family. My mother feels inferior, too. And I am a Scorpio, and this blood type constellation is particularly sensitive.

? Have you ever thought that you are famous at such a young age? At that time, the average child may still be confused, but if you are a precocious child, you will feel more inadequate and may compare with some adults, so you will feel a little inferior. Do you think so?

? Jiang: I think so. I think my adolescence ended when I was in primary school. There are no little girls of the same age now, and there seems to be little psychology.

? Maybe your time is occupied by other things. I think from your blog, you still have a lot of little girl's ideas. After all, you may be ahead of the times in some way, but on the other hand, it is still difficult to get rid of the innocence of girls. You said you didn't want to fall in love.

? Jiang: Yes, I am the only one in our dormitory who is not in love. At first, we said that our dormitory was a nun (I thought I was a little nun). I have no yearning for boys, but I did when I was in kindergarten.

? Your blog says that you like saving money very much. In fact, every girl at your age may have this habit. It was fun. Can you tell me secretly how many Beibei you have saved so far?

? Jiang: I have always been filial to my parents. I am happy to save money for them. I think there is such an idea. Save it. Economy is a virtue.

? There are many descriptions of love in your works, but you have no love experience, only kindergarten stories. You said in your blog that you encountered some obstacles in your creation, and later you made up a lot of romance novels. Where did your love come from?

? Jiang: No, definitely not. The love scenes in romance novels are too mature. Most of what I wrote were pure unrequited love and unrequited love at the age of 14 and 15. They are immature, green and even deformed, so they are not too full of love. It's not that a writer without love experience can't write a good love story. Emily bronte, the author of Wuthering Heights, has no love experience, and the same is true. In fact, I trained myself as a bystander when I was seven years old. My favorite title is the most sober teenager in China. The love story in my novel still comes from life. Many colleagues read my novels, and they all have a feeling of empathy, which may be for this reason.

? Joke in the literary world: the most promising literary leader has become a family man.

? Some people say that you will become a new generation of literary leaders. what do you think of it ? I heard that you want to draw a clear line with post-80s writers, and you are called Pan-90s writers. what do you think?

? Jiang: Actually, personally, I don't aspire to be a leader in the literary world. Now the literary world is becoming more and more entertaining, and I hope there will be more development. However, with my ability, it is difficult to shoulder this heavy responsibility. I don't have as many star qualities as Han Han and Jing M. Guo.

? : Then who do you think is more suitable for post-80s writers?

? Jiang: It's hard to say. I can only say that my favorite writer is Li Shasha, because many people are entertaining now. There is a saying in Li Shasha that I like to study other things for a few years before I start studying literature. This is a very serious literary attitude. He is a journalist now, but he is not fit to be a literary leader. He looks like a man with a family, and my wife calls on his blog all day. Other writers don't understand, and Han Han has never seen it. Jing M.Guo had dinner with him. Maybe everyone thought I was young and ignored me, so I didn't contact him after dinner.

? You think the literary world is very entertaining now, which shows that writers are not doing what writers should do, but doing interviews, racing cars, making records and so on. Following the Cultural Journey, Yu Xiansheng made frequent appearances in other fields. Some media believe that his behavior is contrary to that of a pedant and is an entertainment performance. Now you also frequently participate in program recording, signing contracts, etc., and even you say you want to participate in Super Girl.

? Jiang: Part of the program I participated in was the promotion of my new book, and the other part was that other experts took me as a case of teenagers to talk about their education, puppy love and so on. This is not entertainment, but educational significance. I wanted to be a super girl before, but I was a music idiot and I was not old enough last year. I saw many web pages saying: Jiang, I want to be a super girl, so I'm not interested in super girls.

? How to treat Jing M.Guo's plagiarism? Have you ever thought about taking part in the new concept composition contest? Are you concerned about post-80s writers with new ideas?

? Jiang: Now there is a voice saying that there is absolutely no need to kick Jing M.Guo out of the literary world, just like the factional struggle during the Cultural Revolution. After reading Jing M. Guo's blog, his talent is worthy of recognition and has great potential. I have finished reading the first book of the new concept, and the second book has been turned over. The pattern is the same. They are all 18 years old. It's uncomfortable to read, and there are few new things. If I go, besides, they are like a literary group. It is inevitable for me to join this group, but so far I have not been tied to any young writer. This group is like a primary school girl. It is boring for me to play with you or not to play with you.

? Have you seen the works of Zhang Yueran, Zhou Jianing and Shu Qiao?

? Jiang: Who is it? I haven't seen their works.

? Have you read Jing M.Guo's How Many Flowers Fall in a Dream and Zhuang Yu's plagiarized novel Inside and Outside the Circle? Some critics think it is plagiarism, which is also a very clever plagiarism and an improvement.

? Jiang: I haven't seen it, but first I have a basic attitude towards plagiarism. It is definitely wrong, and plagiarism is increasing, which is a kind of destruction of literary creativity. Just like some people say that Crazy Stone is a copy of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels in guy ritchie, plagiarism is a tribute to him. There are two versions, but there is still a difference between plagiarism and reference. My "The Official History of Evil Children" was influenced by the Jianghu sword net.

? Campus life and family education: Red watermelons also have the credit of farmers' uncles.

? I saw on your blog that you once gave a lecture at China Normal University, and then you really wanted to enter such a school. Can you talk about your campus life? Xiangfan No.4 Middle School is also famous. Can't you leave your parents when studying in Xiangfan?

? Jiang: No, I'm a child of the railway. Even if I stay in Xiangfan, it is far from school. In addition, the environment of Xiangfan Middle School is too hard. There is a room for four people in the first affiliated middle school of China Normal University, and the air conditioning environment is very good. When I first entered the school, I was told that there are three kinds of people in the school: those who study well, those who have money and those who have money to study well. But then I found that the third kind of people are mostly.

? China Normal University is famous for its rigorous education. Will study be particularly stressful?

? Jiang: Fortunately, there is a saying in school: Give back time to students, so that we can have a lot of time to study by ourselves. The school also has optional activities, such as bands, street dance, and many people fall in love.

? I heard that when you were a child, your mother instructed you to write. Children may need more fun in childhood. Did you feel too burdened at that time? What do you think of your mother's education?

? Jiang: Actually, I am a very conscious child. At that time, everyone was playing hide-and-seek I hid in the cupboard, began to write articles, and finished the task of the day. When I came out of the cupboard, I had written a lot in a small notebook. Of course, there will be times when you are lazy. At that time, my mother stipulated that I should use hardcover books and draw a bar every day until I wrote it down. I write in big letters, but he doesn't count. Now my mother often says: Give me a child and I can be a river. That's too exaggerated, and she can't deny my diligence and talent. Many parents love to ask how you grow like this, just like asking why watermelons grow so red and big. You can't deny the contribution of uncle farmer. I didn't communicate much with her before. She is my mentor. Now I think their level is similar. Her article is great, but her mentality is different. She is afraid of being famous, so she doesn't want her article to be seen by everyone.

? Many gifted children are gifted at imitating and creating ideas, patterns and bridges. They can quickly absorb these things from other people's articles and make their own articles brilliant. Jing M.Guo is a good example. This aspect of your article is often praised. Have you studied this knowledge or been inspired by your mother in this respect?

? Jiang: I didn't mean to catch these things, but I may be particularly keen. It's a gift. I don't have to learn from myself.

? Talking about Fame: Why am I not as popular as Teacher Yi Zhongtian?

? The True History of Evil Children is my favorite novel of yours. This is a process that is meaningless to historical stories. Besides, there is an unmarked but very funny warning at the end. I saw on your blog that you were influenced by many notebook novels when you wrote. Your novel has the most aura. From the previous "Cultivation" to "The True History of Evil Children" to "The Rainbow Knight" and the work you are creating, each one has a different style. Has it been changing?

? Jiang: Actually, the official history of evil children is the vernacular history, and so is teacher Yi Zhongtian. But I don't know why he is so popular, but I'm not. In fact, it is not a deliberate transformation. Development is the same style as previous books. Riding a Rainbow proves to everyone that I can also write long pure literary novels, which is also a challenge for me.

? Don't you think you are very popular? How to treat yourself as a teenager? Do you think you are more popular in Beijing than in Wuhan?

? Jiang: Not very popular, is it? When I published "Developing", it was reported by major domestic media. At that time, I was most popular. In fact, it's not very popular. After reaching a peak of popularity, the mentality is peaceful. Don't lose face, but my father is very happy. At that time, regardless of whether his relatives slept or not, he asked others to wake up.

? Teenagers become famous. If I have a child, I also hope that he can start publishing books early, become famous, make money and be independent. I think this is very good. Actually, I'm not popular in Xiangfan either. Walking in the streets of Xiangfan, no one knows me. Junior high school students don't read my books, and teachers don't read them very much. I'm used to it.

? You are so famous for being so young. Many people say that your style is mature, and some people think that you are innocent and lovely. what do you think?

? Jiang: Actually, there are two opinions in the society now. Some colleagues think that my works are so many that I can surpass them myself. Some adults will think that the child is mature and speak highly of his works. I think his mentality will be more mature than his peers, but it has something to do with heredity. Our children in the Chiang family are surrounded by characters written by Zhang Ailing, and I am the stupidest of them.

? Your blog says you'd rather believe that you are a genius. Many writers have talked about genius. Zhang Ailing wrote my dream of genius. Both Han Han and Qian Zhongshu talked about genius. Genius has only two endings in the end. One is that Jiang Lang is exhausted, and the other is to be a master like Qian Zhongshu. Everyone wants to be the latter. What do you think of this problem?

? Jiang: There are many literary masters who are precocious, such as my favorite writer Sartre. They all made great achievements in the end. After 20 years old, I hope to make a movie or write a script. I'm a little depressed now. The best works don't actually exist under the writer. Many artists and scientists will have a better perspective and a better way of appreciation, so they hope to try more fields.
