土家族作家张心平生于湘西、长于湘西,其生命的根须亦深植于这片积淀着数千年民族文化的沃土中。或许是沉重与艰辛的民族历史早已渗透他的心灵;或许是他对家乡、民族一腔热情和强烈忧患意识的交互作用,使他的作品不再像前辈作家沈从文先生那样,用田园牧歌式的笔调将湘西诗意化,而是以略带感伤的语气,真实地叙述内心深处所体验到的那一串沉重的故事,同时也不无自豪地高歌那绵延千载、纵贯古今的执著坚韧的民族精神。 Tujia writer Zhang Xinping was born in western Hunan Province and grew up in western Hunan Province. The root of his life is also deeply rooted in the fertile soil that has accumulated thousands of years of national culture. Perhaps the heavy and arduous history of the nation has long infiltrated his mind; perhaps his interaction with one’s passion and intense sense of anxiety in his hometown, nation, and his works no longer resemble the idolatry and idolatry of the predecessor writer Shen Congwen Poetic style of the Western Hunan, but with a slightly sentimental tone, a true account of the depths of that story experienced a bunch of heavy, but also without exception proudly singing that stretches for thousands of years, persistent throughout the ancient and tough National Spirit.
