"Thick books are like a cross section of my father's life. Suddenly let me see the hardships and difficulties of my father's life. This notebook full of numbers gradually condensed into one sentence in front of my eyes: the word father is so hard! " It is refreshing to read the essay entitled "Father's Words are Difficult" published in Yangzi Evening News Stars on June 20th. After reading the whole essay, we can deeply feel the deep affection from the simple words. The author of this essay is a "novice" who really fell in love with prose writing in recent years. He is Li Junshan, the teacher of Siyang Zhiyuan Middle School.
At a time when people pay more attention to the pursuit of material interests, why did Li Junshan choose the road of prose writing at this time, and grow up quickly and become famous? With this question, the reporter walked into Li Junshan's prose world.
Confused about the positioning of the work
Li Junshan, who is in charge of Chinese teaching in Zhiyuan Middle School, has always been a journalist in the school because he loves news. In addition to news writing, he occasionally writes some small essays to contribute to the outside world, but it's basically nothing.
Until 2007, Li Junshan attended a literary pen meeting and failed to write his own prose. He told Xia Aihua, a Xinjiang essayist, that he wanted to stop writing prose. After reading several essays brought by Li Junshan, Xia Aihua thinks that Li Junshan's prose has clear thinking, fluent writing and simple feelings. He suggested that Li Junshan should stick to it and told him that if he wanted to write prose well, he must read more works by famous prose writers.
Encouraged by the essayist, Li Junshan collected the representative works of famous prose writers such as Sun Daorong in Xiaoshan, Zhejiang and Ding Limei in Yancheng, studied them carefully, used their social observation and writing skills for reference, and thought about how to reposition his prose writing in combination with his own growth experience.
reveal true sentiments
Many things happen. On the eve of the Spring Festival in 2009, Li Junshan returned to his hometown to visit his father, who was nearly 70 years old. When he saw Li Junshan coming back, his father took Li Junshan's hand and talked with him about his parents' shortcomings. Before going to bed at night, my father took out a brand-new thick quilt with the smell of sunshine and asked Li Junshan to cover it and be caring and attentive. At that moment, Li Junshan was deeply moved and felt that in his father's eyes, he would always be a child. At the same time, in order not to increase the burden on children and grandchildren, the healthy father still does farm work at home. With this in mind, Li Junshan said that fatherly love, the most sincere and simple emotion in the world, is a good topic. If you write an essay about gratitude, understanding and tolerance from the perspective of describing your father, isn't that what you are looking for? Soon, a short article named "Sleeping at Home" was published in the headline of the supplement of qianjiang evening news.
Since then, Li Junshan's prose has been greatly improved, and his prose writing has changed from repeated failures to frequent newspaper reports. Many essays, such as My Father's Account Book, Life will not mistreat positive people, Reading My Father's Hometown, My Father's Calendar and People Who Remember My Birthday, have also been published in Yangzi Evening News and Jingjiang Evening News. According to the statistics of Li Junshan, in 2009, eight essays of Li Junshan were published in different newspaper supplements on the same day, and more than 220 essays were published in the whole year. At the same time, they also won numerous awards in literary competitions held by various newspapers. Letters from prose lovers from all over the country to discuss their writing experience are also pouring in, and editors of newspaper supplements often call and write to Li Junshan for manuscripts.
Literature and teaching complement each other.
Prose writing needs feelings and true feelings. Li Junshan is the deputy director of Grade Two and the head teacher of Grade Two. He is responsible for the Chinese teaching of two classes in the school. It can be said that the teaching task is very heavy. At ten o'clock every night, when others are watching TV and entertaining, Li Junshan is still writing under the desk lamp, sorting out and recording what he saw, heard and felt that day, and getting some insights from it, so that prose can be born. In class, Li Junshan also taught his prose writing experience to students, which greatly improved the writing level of his class. At the same time, Li Junshan also formed a literary club with some students who like prose writing, and used his spare time to revise students' papers and published them in the social magazine "Poplar" edited by Li Junshan. "Poplar" won the first prize of the national school magazine because of its novel perspective, fluent writing and simple feelings, and its experience in running the magazine was also published in many newspapers.
Li Junshan was pleased with a series of achievements and celebrated the perfect combination of prose writing and daily teaching.
These achievements were made in the past. After more than two years of prose writing, Li Junshan gradually realized that he should not pursue quantity, but pay attention to improving the quality of writing. In the process of writing, Li Junshan also abandoned the impetuous writing in the past. More importantly, he calmed down and realized the happiness, joy and passion in the writing process.
