The writer's life

I dedicate my youth to you, and you dedicate the rest of my life to me.

In Henan, Dai Lai lived a relatively closed life, with few frequent friends, and he wrote nothing. She still likes her present life anyway. Maybe not, but get used to it. She habitually told a joke: men can't find a girlfriend, so they have no choice but to tell fortune. Fortune teller: You are doomed to have no women in the first half of your life. The man's eyes lit up: what about the second half? The fortune teller said, you'll get used to it later. Sometimes she jokes with her husband: I dedicated my youth to you. When we are old, we must go back to Suzhou to settle down. You should dedicate the rest of your life to me.

1995, Dai came to Henan, and spent most of his time in a place called Xinxiang, Henan, staying honestly. Later, he came to Beijing in the name of learning and worked as a visiting scholar in the Institute of Literature of China Academy of Social Sciences for one year. Her life experience is particularly simple, basically living her own life and not dealing with the outside world. She said: "I always feel that whether writing or living, having a good attitude and a down-to-earth life is more important than anything else."

However, her popularity is surprisingly good. The writer Jing Ge relishes Dai Lai's cleverness. He said: "She is definitely not a chatterbox. She speaks weakly and slowly. However, she is witty. Her humor is obviously original, so it is always fresh and full of energy. In my opinion, her popularity is also very good, and she looks very broad-minded. "

Writing from a male perspective

Many women writers like to explain women and themselves, but Daley writes more about men. Dai Lai thinks writing from a male perspective makes her feel more interesting. "Male life, male perspective, is somewhat challenging for me, leaving me more room for imagination and feeling more pleasant to write. You will feel that you are creating this character, which is not in your life at all, or even in your experience. There is basically no life in my novels, and maybe some details will be related to my life. " She said that her writing process is also a chaotic process, and it is precisely because of various possibilities that she realized more pleasure in writing. Basically, Daley's writing is full of enthusiasm. Although he has been writing for several years, he has published a collection of novels, such as Come in or Go out, Don't knock on my door, I'm not here, a collection of essays, We are all sick people, Tossing the days to the end, practicing life, practicing love and so on. Some of his works have been translated into English, French, German, Japanese and Russian and introduced abroad. He won the first Spring Literature Award in 2002 and the 1 1 solemn literature award in 2007.

It fits well with the Central Plains.

On April 28th, 2008, Dai Lai was writing a short story to be published in the July 2008 issue of The Writer, which is of special significance to Dai Lai. In addition, she prepared a long story about a historian's life. This is a Don Quixote figure, and questioning a period of history made him spend most of his life exploring the so-called truth. For the new novel, Dai Lai felt that he didn't know how to summarize it. It is probably a story of seeking, and an ideal finally falls in front of reality.

Beneath his bones, Dai Lai is a frank person who came to the Central Plains. At this point, he fits in well with this place. But at the same time, she is a lazy person, longing for a leisurely life, so at this point, she is more like a Suzhou person. "Every time I go back to Suzhou, I feel that Suzhou is really good, really good, but more often I just think about it. I am deeply immersed in the inertia of life, and I am afraid of the change of life, perhaps because I am afraid of facing complicated specific operating procedures. Some processes are simulated in your mind, and you are already sweating. However, now that my parents are old, I will often go home to see them in the future. "

Accidental creation

"My literary creation can be said to be an accident." Dai Lai said, "I 1995 married from Suzhou to Henan. I had nothing to do, so I found some books. I look for all the books and periodicals in my sight. At that time, I thought, some works can be published in that way, so I can write. And at that time, I felt that if such works filled people's field of vision for a long time, people's reading level would decline. I was so crazy. " Dai Lai smiled shyly. She said that her first work was published in People's Literature No.4, 1998, "Come in or Go out". She also said that she was very lucky, and the starting point of the publications that started writing and contributing articles was relatively high and smooth. "The name of your novel gives people a little different feeling, such as" Then kill him "and" Don't knock on my door, I'm not here ". Is there any other meaning in this? " "The name of my novel, often someone said a word in the novel, a word. This sentence may be said. " Dai Lai said, "In fact, many spoken words in our daily life are very philosophical, such as" Come in or go out ","Are you ready ","Have a meal by the way "and" toss the day to the end ",which is very intriguing. A good name can add color to the novel. "

Creative experience

"There is content first." Dai Lai said that all her novels were written, and then she looked for them from the articles, just like a primary school student looking for a central idea in a composition and finding the most touching and interesting sentence as the title of the novel, many of which were "witty remarks". "Do you think you have any difficulties in writing?" The reporter asked questions. "The main topic. If life is somewhat limited, then the work will repeat the life of a certain kind of people, which is a problem for the creation of the topic. " Dai Lai said that her writing has been avoiding her own life, because there is no room for imagination in writing her own life, and only writing a subject completely different from her own life is challenging. Of course, there are times when you can't write it, but it's also a pleasure to write it after you finish it. "I think scientists should feel this way after solving a difficult problem."

Writing style

Some critics say that reading Daley's novels "feels that there is a strange atmosphere and a sense of structural variation in the novel, which shows that Daley's pen power is in place." Her writing is like a man in a white coat writing with a scalpel. Under her cold style and cold humor, what she writes is a kind of emotion and desire, but the life she writes in her cold style is a very flamboyant abnormal emotional life. It is not easy for a writer to do this, especially young writers born in the 1970 s. "

Main work

Fish theory

Help a friend take care of his wife who is about to give birth. Unexpectedly, the friend played without a trace. In the embarrassing relationship with Zuo Ling, the gradually hardened emotion in her heart was softened by this persistent but ill-fated girl, but Zhou Ling never gave her a support at the most helpless moment. When my girlfriend, who once thought she would be with me for life, reappeared physically and mentally, vigorous love became a kind of responsibility, and those who repaid this responsibility were inexplicably involved in a case. Fall in love with a friend's girlfriend

Entrusted by his friend Song Qiang, Zhou Mi helps Song Qiang to take care of his pregnant girlfriend Zuo Ling. He has five friends. In the daily life of caring for Zuo Ling, who is close to labor, she gradually developed a love. In the helplessness of love, Song Qiang moved from one hesitation to another. Repeatedly involved in the cautious life, I saw men in a trance and women swaying. I was always in an awkward position: I was entangled with my old lover and Fan, and I was entangled with the female mute.

Party A, Party B and Party D.

A and B are a pair of young lovers who are on and off. They once loved each other passionately, but because of love, violence often occurred in the name of love. They lived together for three years, but they never said anything about getting married. Maybe I still had this idea at first, but after being together for a long time, this idea faded. The more you live, the easier it is, the more dull it is, and the less passionate it is. Other works

review article

Zheng Hui's Analysis of Daley's Novel Creation

In narration, he is concise, cherishes ink like gold, and boldly takes "blank space" as an artistic goal like Chinese painting. Writers are diggers, some people are sweating all over and pouting all over the ground; Dai Lai, however, is so cherish. He pursed his lips only in the secret place of human nature-a place that contains profound contents that he doesn't even know. When he purses his lips, there will be something.

Impression Dai Lai: Dai Lai brought it.

Although Dai Lai is from Suzhou, when I first met her, she was already living in Henan. For a girl from the south of the Yangtze River, it is not only inexplicable to marry in Xinxiang, Henan Province, but also unpleasant for people to flow into foreigners. Of course, it is very narrow-minded. She is a princess and married to Tibet. Dai lai married in the past, not necessarily for the peace and stability of the motherland, but she must have good reasons. Like love. Leaving your hometown because of love should actually be respected. Except her parents, of course. Dai Lai's father has repeatedly expressed his inner sadness and helplessness to me on the phone. "She said she would come back!" He told me this several times. However, as the years passed, Dai Lai didn't come back. Even during the Spring Festival, she didn't go back to Suzhou to see her parents. I think she took root in Xinxiang, not only bought land to build villas, but also hung her work there and became a "deputy magistrate" with dignity. Is she planning to come back?

I often refer to Dai Lai as my daughter in public. I wonder if she wants to. Please forgive me for taking advantage of her if she doesn't want to. At the end of 2002, there was a heavy snow in northern Shaanxi. Luyuan organized us to go to social practice, but I got sick there. On the train from Yan 'an to Xi 'an, the temperature is MINUS 10 degrees Celsius, but there is no heating in the carriage. I remember shivering in the carriage all night. Dai Lai and I both slept in the lower bunk and fell asleep opposite. That night, in a daze, I felt Dai Lai's hand stretched out from the opposite side from time to time to tuck me in. I was really touched that night. I feel that I am in my twilight years, unable to move in bed, and my filial daughter is considerate of me. She didn't sleep well all night, fearing that I might catch a cold. She stayed awake just to take care of me.

Of course, I really regard her as my own daughter. Once she was drunk, Wei Wei and I took her back to Luyuan. After Vivian left, I stayed in Dai Lai's room for fear that she would vomit again, so as to take good care of her. She threw up once and threw up all over the floor. I cleaned her up and sat in the dark with her. Until it was estimated that she had fallen asleep, she put a footbath on the bedside and then quietly walked away.

If I really have such a daughter, I will be very proud. Dai Lai's cleverness makes her look so cute. She is definitely not a chatterbox, and she speaks weakly and slowly. But she's witty. I didn't meet many writers in Luyuan's class. But because of Dai Lai, I made friends with many people who could not have been friends, and became friends with people who could not have been friends. I know some people in this class even like Dai Lai better than me. During that trip to northern Shaanxi, several friends not only helped Dai Lai with her luggage like chivalrous men, but also helped her "old father" with my bag. Let me experience the joy of being a "father-in-law"

As a new generation of novelists, Daley is so excellent. At a meeting, I met Hong Zhigang. He talked about one of my novels. In order to win praise, I asked him, "Is this work well written?" He paid me a few casual compliments out of courtesy. Then, at a change of topic, I began to sincerely praise Daley. He spoke highly of Daley, saying that he really liked her novels. If I don't like Dai Lai's novels, if Dai Lai and I are sworn brothers, I will be jealous. I would think that Hong Zhigang was angry with me on purpose. Hong Zhigang's evaluation of Dai Lai is: "She always uses extremely calm words to describe the unique people living at the bottom of modern cities, and extends and magnifies their living feelings and inner world in detail, thus highlighting the extremely special spiritual landscape they radiate in the entanglement of reality." Daley's history of writing novels is not very long, but she quickly became famous in the literary world. Her works have been published in some important literary journals, which has aroused widespread concern. Her books have been published locally one after another, and some of them have been translated abroad. 2004 was the year of Sino-French cultural exchange, and Daley was the youngest French writer invited to France. I wonder what this naughty little villain will look like walking on the streets of Paris. Is she still smoking casually, wearing jeans and yellow instant noodles? Does she still tell jokes in France? Will she giggle suddenly when foreigners interview her? When you ask her what she is laughing at, she will say, there is a new joke on my mobile phone, and the parrot is scolding the flight attendant.

What Daley brought to the literary world was a brand-new creation, which coldly revealed the secrets of our lives. And between me and her, friendship, joy and warmth are also brought by Dai Lai. Author Jing Ge

Personality assessment

Hong Zhigang's Questioning of Existence and Exploration of Significance —— On Dai Lai's Novels

Daley is a writer with great artistic potential. She can not only consciously avoid the extremely personal and physical narrative style of similar writers, but also get rid of excessive attachment to the creative subject's own experience, and constantly adopt an anti-feminization perspective, extending the narrative to a fairly broad field of life and touching the life scene and its mental state beyond her own experience.

Wu Yiqin's Hidden Life —— On Daley's Novels

Daley is undoubtedly one of the most striking young writers with creative vitality at present. Her excellent texts, such as We Are All Sick People, Straight Nose, Come in or Go out, Don't Knock on My Door, I'm not here, Close the Door, etc., have a conscious distance from the preset "female writing" territory and provide a brand-new female writing mode.

Li Jingze is hanging a raincoat outside the door.

Daley is a novelist with classical artistic spirit. There is no "I" in her novels. For her, canceling "I" is the first procedure of writing, because "I" is the impurity of the world, and the word itself is a symbol of absolute human weakness.

Critic Li Jingze

Her novel doesn't look like it was written by a woman. Daley is cruel, not vicious cruelty, but calm and precise, like a surgeon, his hands will not shake. When Daley writes novels, he usually wears a white coat and a mask on his face, which always scares readers, such as me.

Li Jingze's losers and their cities.

In The City of Daley, "voyeurism" mixed with violence and desire is the only way to reach the truth, or this voyeurism itself is a part of the truth. Understanding is not a leisurely and proper process, but a struggle. It is a kind of infringement and anti-infringement. This is morally questionable. It destroys the harmony of the world. Starting from a dark and chaotic place, the final result is still dark and chaotic.
