我很愿意看到“70后”作家写历史。这并不意味着他们不用关心现实。恰恰相反,当代作家之所以写不好现实,往往是因为他们对中国历史缺乏理性认知、缺少深入研究和质疑精神。半个多世纪前的中国,漫长的战争,频繁的运动,各种革命和改造,对于当代中国来说有哪些深远影响?宏观层面的,包括制度模式、社会结构、文化形态等;微观层面的,一村一族,一家一户,乃至一个人,他的价值观念、思维方式和情感状态,甚至私人生活境遇等等,我们大都能从历史的河流中找出源头。 I’d love to see the writer write history after 70s. This does not mean that they do not care about the reality. On the contrary, the reason why contemporary writers can not write well is often because of their lack of rational cognition of Chinese history and their lack of in-depth research and questioning. For China more than half a century ago, the long wars, frequent campaigns, various revolutions and reforms have far-reaching implications for contemporary China. At the macro level, they include institutional models, social structures, and cultural forms. At the micro level , One village, one family, and even one person, his values, ways of thinking and emotions, and even personal circumstances, etc. Most of us can find their origin in the rivers of history.
