Evaluation of tour works

In the contemporary literary world, you is an "anachronistic" writer. He wrote about war, land reform and counter-revolution, and turned from the dust of history to a strong concern for reality. From 1957' s Life in China to Loach, it is not difficult to find that you's novels have a rare sense of hardship and compassion. "I wrote them with deep feelings. When I saw those migrant workers carrying garbage washed away from luxury hotels like thieves, my heart ached and I cried for them. " This is a sentence in the preface of You's anthology of novels "Will Snakes Poison themselves", which is very touching after reading it.

Especially writing "Shimen Nighttalk" and fighting a copyright lawsuit with Jiang Wen on the film "The Devil Comes", readers are no strangers. But it is his novel China 1957 that really made an impact in the literary world. China 1957 is a good book for all those who have experienced anti-rightism and those who have not. It can effectively restore those necessary memories in us.

In fact, not only in writing, but also in the content of exploration and the angle of thinking. From The Devil Comes, China 1957 to The Clothes Bowl, he has been analyzing historical facts and contents and putting forward his own thoughts. After The Clothes Bowl was published in The Writer of China last year, the description of land reform in the book aroused discussion. You Fengwei didn't experience land reform, but later he saw some tragic things: "The child knew for the first time that people can be killed with guns, and he felt the cruelty of the world." For today's readers, the old almanac more than half a century ago may have been "far away, far away and irrelevant", and too many people remain silent about it. But he is still obsessed with these "difficult" history and plunged into it. Today, you Feng Wei is still writing some books on land reform. To this end, he warned himself: we must truly reproduce the actual situation at that time, not deviate from historical facts, and we must not make things up. The big background, big events and important plots of the works must "come from life." "Of course, I know that truth is not the only thing in literature, so I emphasize truth again and again, hoping that the quality of my works is upright and can penetrate the shadow of history like a light beam."
