A dream is a guest, a moment of pleasure. So said Li Houzhu.
Dreams are always beautiful and colorful, but they are different from reality. The reality is always unsatisfactory, which even young teenagers can feel, issued a "life is really very tired" sentiment. As long as we look at those junior high and high school students, every day carrying that heavy schoolbag, facing that endless memorization of English vocabulary, counting endless number of tests will feel that this statement is not false.
Childhood, carefree childhood as limp butterflies disappeared in the distant memory; no longer possible to run barefoot on the beach to pick up the shells, pick up the carefree good mood. So they have to dream, and novels have become a substitute for dreams to some extent. Because only here, the idea can fly like a bird, the mood is as bright as the sun, all of the test education suffocation of spiritual dissatisfaction can be cathartic.
Author Dai Li Li appeared at this time, she said a dream, a dream of light and strange, a young boy and girl free and easy dream. So Jingle Bells was born under her pen.
The novel is centered around four strange bells. The "Bundle of Golden Bells" that brings wealth, the "Forgetfulness Bell" that makes people forget their sorrows, and the "Broken Bells" and the "Mirror Water Bells" that can satisfy any one of your wishes. So all kinds of people gradually appeared on the scene, in order to seize the four bells and launched a fight to the death, revealing the "true face of Mount Lushan". Conspiracy and traps, and deceit are their usual tricks; violence and massacre are the guidelines they follow. However, in the end, they ended up with nothing, and their reputation was broken. When Xue Yun went mad holding the four bells that had broken into powder, she obviously came to her senses, only too late. From this, the bells are no longer just bells, but are imbued with cultural meanings, abstracted into desire and greed, which involve human nature. Greed not only makes Xue Yun lose her husband and son, but also ultimately destroys herself.
"Mirror water, mirror water and moon", when the author issued such an exclamation, we can not help but admire the young author's keen insight. This weighty words highlight the true meaning of life: all desires are a fleeting cloud, a fleeting moment.
"Jingle Bells" is a creative martial arts novel, and can even be called the new new martial arts novel. It has the basic qualities of a general martial arts novel. The sword in the shadow of the capture, dazzling martial arts moves, bizarre plot and bizarre atmosphere. The reason why this style is adopted by the author is that it carries out the author's long-standing motivation for writing: he has always been fond of martial arts novels. This motivation is echoed by the mentality of middle school students. Middle school students like to hunt for curiosity, like the pursuit of excitement, all things hold a strong interest and have a wild imagination. Because of this, the genre of martial arts novels for the majority of secondary school students to accept and quite favored. However, the popular martial arts novels on the market are usually dominated by the strong discourse of adults, expressing the world in the eyes of adults; even if there are written by young boys and girls martial arts novels are assembled by adults, and even distorted and thus unorthodox. This distances them from middle school students and rejects them. Jingle Bells, on the other hand, has stepped out of this misunderstanding and broken into a new path. Because the author is also a middle school student, this similarity in age and experience has made Dai Li Li and her novels more accessible and closer to the hearts and minds of middle school students.
The protagonists in this novel are all clear-cut teenagers, the beautiful, capricious and chirpy Qin Xingzi, the handsome and arrogant Blood Moon and Xie Lengyang, the smart and clever Dancing Windbell, the infatuated Feng, and the innocent and pure-hearted ZhuoMa who is like a snow lotus....... They all have distinctive characters and are active in the center of the stage from the beginning to the end. More importantly, they show us a genuine, clear teenage world. Although they are childish but after all sincere; although through the ups and downs, the body of injustice but still laugh at reality; although in the dirt but still do not lose the heart of the child; although people cheat still do not forget to humor, flirt a hand. What touches people is not the final result, but the important thing is that in the process of searching for the bell and challenging the evil, they have picked up the human feelings, friendship and joy that have been abandoned by adults. In the pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty, they completed a life sublimation and spiritual journey, and in the tireless contemplation of life, they went to maturity.
To a certain extent, this novel is wearing the coat of martial arts to talk about the joy, anger, sadness and happiness of middle school students. It provides a model and a possible way for us to reacquaint ourselves with these new neanderthals.
It is different from the general martial arts novels that always give people a sense of gravity and kill; it is also different from those youth novels that are deep and old-fashioned." Funny" is the most significant feature of "Jingle Bells". As the author clearly declares:
I'm always satisfied when a novel can bring some laughter, no matter in what way.
This is the author's writing stance and her writing strategy. In the text, everywhere is witty, playful dialogue, full of flirtation, humor atmosphere, when people laugh; especially the lovely Qin Xingzi even in the sword, horror of life and death, she did not change the old style, a big grin, laugh and talk about the wind, people can not help but laugh. The author also draws on cartoon and manga expression, which to a large extent adds to the "humor" of the work. To a certain extent, this dissolves the cruelty of martial arts, quite a bit of anti-martial arts flavor, but not only do not make people feel incestuous, but also make the whole novel overflowing with youthful atmosphere, happy laughter.
You can put immaturity, roughness, tenderness, imitation of the hard head of the author, but one thing is certain: the author is writing with heart and sincerity. The significance of the novel's text goes beyond the writing itself.
The bells are tinkling, and you and I are flying.
The bells tinkle, letting fly your and my repressed mood.
"Jingle Bells" is a dream of truth, goodness and beauty.
