Fu Xiuying is a young writer who has attracted much attention since the new century. His works, such as "love spreads everywhere" and "stranger", have conquered the literary world rapidly with their unique literary temperament, which is full of rich traditional poetic lyric flavor, and created a gentle whirlwind in the Chinese contemporary literary world. Her new novel "the other land" is not only an exploratory work trying to break through self, but also a work with rich sense of reality and life texture whose personal identity and style are "strengthened" again. The novel deals with such typical modernist propositions as "who am I" and "where am I coming from and where should I go". However, it is full of poetry, rich in emotion, and surging with humanitarian heat in depth. Although the novel is called "other land", it is basically a work of "returning home", which is a great metaphor of "returning home". His "return to hometown" has multiple implications: from the perspective of art aesthetics, it is a continuation and extension of the poetic tradition of Chinese novels in the 20th century, such as Shen Congwen, Yu Dafu, Wang Zengqi, Sun Li, Tie Ning, and even the traditional Chinese classical novels represented by a dream of Red Mansions; from the perspective of the value of human culture, it is a homage and return to the great humanistic tradition, which makes the literature Learning returns to the most fundamental and original human care and humanitarian care for human existence and circumstances; from the perspective of Chinese realistic literary tradition, the other land is based on the most practical and direct personal experience, but not limited by personal vision. Instead, it establishes a deep connection with a broader field of experience, reconstructs the reality between "individuality" and "grandeur" The deep meaning mode of the novels.

Poetry, lyricism and Humanism
"Other land" is a novel about life and emotion, is a female's spiritual history, growth history, can also be seen as a poetic dense growth novel and narrative poem. The novel expresses the life closely related to the subject's heart with the emotional and emotional tone closely related to personal experience and temperament, and records the life fragments that bring the hero profound feelings and unforgettable memories. The hero feels, realizes and grows in the writing line by line and page, from the green and green to the young, there will be wind and frost, the narration will be solemn in relief, and there will be gentle in euphemism Strength, to see the ups and downs of people and things in the flow of time, contains an urgent feeling of telling and exposing oneself, a sound of emotional agitation, a feeling and resonance with strong personal breath and personal meaning, a voice tempered by the twists and turns of life and fate, a gentle and clear life sigh. This is the embodiment of literary charm: it does not lie in the emotional catharsis of rivers, but in the grasp of the hidden life mystery between the lines, and the emotion and imagination energy flowing slowly, accumulating slowly and waiting for the opportunity.
The poetic meaning of "other land" comes from its narrative musical sense at first. The novel unfolds in the way of recollection. Whether it comes from Xiaoli, Youtong or Laoguan, the recollection naturally has a soothing rhythm and calm, calm and indifferent after the vicissitudes of life. For example, through the narration of Zhai Xiaoli, a middle-aged writer, the novel recalls the life experience and emotional process since the girl's age, and has experienced the vicissitudes of indifference, self-adaptive, transparent and open-minded. The novel is about the hardship of life and the embarrassment of others; the romance and self-confidence of youth, the ideals and willfulness of young people; the indifference and separation between people; the confusion and futility of mood, the anxiety and torture of psychology, the tear of soul and the pain of spirit, and the adjustment and transformation of mood and narrative rhythm. For example, the novel describes the love scenes and lovesickness between Xiaotong and Xiaoli, the relationship between Xiaoli and Laoguan, and the relationship between Xiaoli and his confidant, etc. In the last part of the novel, the letter "dear", which was not sent out or even clearly received by the addressee, was written in a thousand turns, touching and soul stirring way. This kind of musicality is formed by emotional or urgent or slow or melodious or low return variations, not by external rhythm and rhyme. It is prose poetry and novel poetry. In the rhythmic flow of emotions and thoughts, some images full of charm naturally emerge. Delicate feelings permeate all kinds of scenery through fine language, and permeate in some colors, smells and sounds, making the countryside like cicadas in the rain, the smell of soil damp, the breath of crops growing, the snow tearing cotton and the north wind whistling across the treetops, Let the secular joy of the Spring Festival in the countryside, the aroma of stewed tofu in casseroles in the streets of the city on cold winter nights, and the pork buns, cold skins, sausages, thousand layer cakes, pork and pickled vegetable pies that can be seen everywhere in the inland small cities, soak in the passion of youth, romance of love, and loneliness and bitterness of being alone in other places. When all these emerge in the memory of the colorful colors of the protagonist In the middle time, the emotions, emotions and psychology of the present moment and that moment blend with each other in a complex way. Therefore, the poetry in the novel is closely related to the flow of the author's emotions and the expression of his emotions, not only by the rendering and presentation of the words, but also by the music like rhythm and rhythm.
Secondly, the poetry of the novel comes from the writer's concern for human nature and the reflection of humanism. It doesn't show in the romance of the characters in the novel, in the arrangement and stacking of numerous and beautiful sentences, or even in the rendering of the description of beautiful scenery. It's not "external" poetry, but in the weaving and expression of emotion - "Lyric", that is to say, poetry and lyric are intertwined, but different from that of prose poetry It is to approach the narrative of the novel to "poetry", but to explore and explore the inherent "poetry" in the narrative of the novel. Therefore, the lyric and poetic meaning of "the other land" is empathic and homologous with the characters in the writer's works. It expresses the author's sympathy for the people and things in the vast world. It is the projection of goodness and warmth, the beauty of the soul and goodness.
Wang Zengqi once said that writers are producers of feelings. Excellent novelists are always good at combining the description of real life with poetic expression in their own creation, which shows the characteristics of poetic pursuit of narrative texts. "Other land" has created a clear image of an individual woman, an emotional and psychological image that can move people and let us touch. "Emotion is an important component of literature and art, lyricism is its universal feature, and it is also one of the bases of its poetic breeding and construction The modern Chinese poetic novel, an anti-traditional novel, pursues the mode of twists and turns, strange plots and sharp dramatic conflicts, and pays attention to the expression of individual inner feelings and the rendering or catharsis of emotions. The plot and even the characters become the tools or carriers of emotion and emotional expression. " (1) Taking Lu Xun as an example, we can not only be influenced by strong poetry in typical works with Lu Xun's temperament, such as "on the tavern", "sad for the past" and "the lonely man", but also find the existence of poetry in realistic, allegorical and critical texts, such as "Kong Yiji", "brother", "soap", "Ah Q Zheng Zhuan". In fact, this situation also exists in different forms among Guo Moruo, Mao Dun, Ba Jin, Lao She and other writers, let alone the poetic novels of Fei Ming, Shen Congwen, Xiao Hong, Zhang Ailing and so on. Time is changing, life is changing, together with our feelings and cognition of reality and life, the changing reality is updating our ideas, even our thoughts. However, when "change" becomes a kind of inertia, a kind of fashion, then feelings reflect its constant side, especially in the endless changes, this kind of emotion with constant quality is more true The combination of goodness, beauty shows the precious and beautiful side. "Other land" represents the life from the early 1990s to the early 21st century. During this period, China's urban and rural modern development process and various modern urban "Landscapes" emerged with the changes of the times have been vividly and fully presented to varying degrees. With colorful features and fresh forms, the contemporary Chinese historical evolution and the advancement of the times are relatively complete and naturally spread in the text 。 However, the realistic content of these simple times is in the hard March and trek of the protagonist's career, career and personal fate, in Zhai Xiaoli's and Zhang Youtong's life journey from acquaintance, acquaintance, love to marriage and family life, and in the sweet, bitter, sad and painful conflicts between kinship and love, emotion within marriage and emotion outside marriage, In the ups and downs, vicissitudes of life, perseverance, gorgeous and return to the plain show. In the reappearance of China in the era, in the expression of real life and emotion, the author's serious thinking of life, delicate and incisive analysis of the people of the world, and yearning for a better life and a better human nature are accompanied by irrepressible and uncontrollable passions, such as a trickle of silent and uninterruptedly flowing into the lines of the words, which makes or calm, plain or decadent life full of deep and moving Poetic flavour. In Fu Xiuying's novels, narrative and lyric, ordinary and poetic, poetry and truth are closely and harmoniously mixed. The blending of nature and life with various colors and the complexion of emotion and emotion with many colors not only show the real life of the times in China, but also show the talent to discover the beauty of poetry, thus forming the inherent aesthetic meaning of the novel.
From the perspective of the relationship between poetry and truth, "other land" is a kind of writing permeated with strong individual emotions, which shows a kind of "truth" contained, contained and permeated by rich "poetry". It is undoubtedly a panoramic view with epic appeal to try to accommodate the changes of Chinese history and reality in the era of novel writing. However, the author does not take a grand overall vision and stands at a certain historical discourse height to construct a kind of "overall reality", but "internalize" the "external" reality according to his own personality and strengths "Objective" reality "is" individualized ", and" reality "is" human nature "penetration. The" overall perspective "is divided into different perspectives such as Zhai Xiaoli, Zhang Youtong, Lao Guan and mysterious Zheng senior officials. The" individual "and" human nature "are used to realize and penetrate" reality "and" life ". The result of this is to avoid the trivial and mediocre daily writing malpractice of "new realistic novel", to show the development and rising of "character growth" or "subject generation", and to avoid the rigidity and rigidity brought by the use of general discourse to integrate real life, so as to seek a way between life and reality, individual and overall, human nature and the times Personal aesthetic expression. The important difference between the novel and the well-known poetic novel is that the time factor and plot factor, especially the depiction of the character's psychological character, are the key factors of the novel, and the growth of the female / individual is the theme and main content of the novel, as well as the penetrating plot clue. Therefore, the actual expression of the "space" transfer from the countryside to the provincial city to the capital city is "self-improvement" At the same time, the narrative plot is not diluted, the description of personality, psychology, activities and other factors
