Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
Yan Geling's military experience accompanied her throughout her youth. When she later became a writer, this experience became an inexhaustible source of her creation. "A Female Soldier's Whisper", "Female Grassland", "Gray Dancing Shoes", "White Sparrow", and "Beloved Dog Kele" are all based on military life, but most of them portray the soldiers of that era from a writer's objective perspective. Her first novel "Youth" has a strong personal autobiographical color. It describes the life of the military art troupe she experienced in the past in the first person: a military version of the "talented scholar and beautiful woman" story that took place in an old red building hidden in the southwestern capital and in the interior of a certain military art troupe.
"Youth" covers Yan Geling's youth and growth period. Looking back on this experience more than 40 years later, her writing is full of emotions. The ignorant passion of boys and girls under the impulse of youthful hormones, the mistakes made by passion, the regrets born from mistakes, and the special background of the times, all constitute the complex feelings of "Youth" about a period of history, a group of people, the change of trends, and the changes in circumstances. Today's author Yan Geling and the little female soldier Xiao Suizi at that time formed a rational and emotional dialogue relationship in the work, re-presenting the chaos, sensibility and ignorance of youth in that era. The unbridled life and the levels of human nature and the characteristics of the times constitute the complex tonality of "Youth", which opens up a multi-level path of understanding to readers.
