A Lifelong Journey is Liang Xiaosheng’s work devoted to the feelings of the common people.The novel took five years to create and was officially published in2017,and won the 10 th Mao Dun Literature Award in 2019.It can be said that A Lifelong Journey truly interprets what is historical,what is people’s nature,and what is realism.Through nearly 50 years of the times,all beings in A Lifelong Journey seem to be vividly remembered,with their warmth,trivial life,social changes,etc.A Lifelong Journey shows Liang Xiaosheng’s extraordinary narrative ability.The novel draws on the life experiences of three generations of the Zhou family for nearly50 years,showing the secular human nature at the bottom of the scene,and seeing the memory of Chinese cities under a panoramic view.Liang Xiaosheng’s commoner sentiments come from his concern for the people at the bottom.In the process of social change,his creation has gradually changed from the subject of educated youth to portraits of the urban commoners.This is his unchanging position and eternal original intention as a commoner writer.With the help of his grasp of the city in the memory of the times,Liang Xiaosheng invested more delicate time and space observation in A Lifelong Journey to construct a real and sensible historical space,presenting a picture of civilian life with a profound sense of history and depth of space.From the perspective of sociologists,the rebirth and transformation of Chinese society over the past fifty years is undoubtedly the most practical historical research material.They are more willing to analyze and study this past from the perspective of historical rationality and the level of economic development that is intuitive and realistic.From the perspective of writers,in addition to the panoramic writing of the above two aspects,they are more willing to delve into the emotional life of the people in it,the changes in their human nature,the pains of the times they endured,and the joys and sorrows they experience.Different from the generally considered perceptual animals,writers are actually more like a contradiction between perceptual and rational coexistence.As a "civilian spokesperson",writer Liang Xiaosheng spared no effort to get close to the masses,go deep into the masses,feel their bitterness and joy,and experience their confusion and confusion.At the same time,he does not shy away from criticizing and exposing the dark side behind the light,such as social abuses,contradictions,conflicts,and human ills,so as to realize the embrace and return of humanistic care and historical rationality.As Liang Xiaosheng’s in-depth interpretation of the feelings of A Lifelong Journey and the stance of the common people,A Lifelong Journey is deeply concerned with the social changes in China since the reform and opening up and the new hope it has brought to the people.This concern for the bottom is the creation of realist literature.It provides value reference and aesthetic paradigm,and also provides value inspiration for looking forward to future social development.
