Hong Hai, an indispensable figure in China’s prose circle, has great influence in China’s literary world today. He is a distinctive symbol of China’s prose, a creator, editor and researcher of prose, and also an organizer, promoter and disseminator of prose activities. In the past, when it comes to prose in China, my impression is still the ones I learned in middle school texts. Once, under the recommendation of a friend, I paid attention to "Hong Hai’s prose about WeChat official account", which made me see a different world of prose.
People’s life is fast and busy, and their spare time is also submerged in the overwhelming ocean of information in the online world such as friends circle, Tik Tok and short videos. And every essay in Mr. Hong’s WeChat official account is like a quiet and chic yard in a noisy market. There is an enlightened person who can’t help but stop in a hurry to taste the essence of life. It’s like an enlightened person telling you Zen.
The change of prose is eternal, and the same will be eliminated after all. However, no matter how it changes, there is always the appearance of prose. If I am forced to draw the appearance of prose, I can only say that you can read my prose. I think this sentence is also applicable to other writers-Hong Hai.
Hong Hai’s prose, when read, is like recalling a fragment of life. I feel close to myself and very kind. Sometimes I can feel the casual nature of chatting between friends. Sometimes the author is like a guide, taking you into and savoring an unforgettable life. Teacher Hong has a profound research on the theory and future development trend of prose. From his prose collection, we can see the development trend of China’s prose. Teacher Hong thinks that no matter how prose develops, literariness, lyricism and cultural thinking and philosophical aesthetics of prose are essential. Therefore, Miss Hong doesn’t agree that the definition of prose should be infinitely relaxed, and everything should be put into the basket of prose. On the contrary, she doesn’t agree that the definition of prose should be too narrow, which will limit the development of prose itself. Therefore, Miss Hong encourages the exploration of prose development and opposes being restricted by the authority of rules and regulations.
Prose is about my world, and novel is about my world-Hong Hai.
Hong Hai’s prose, like what he pursues, is free to record every warmth and feeling in life. Some are like kung fu tea, and there is sweetness in bitterness. Some are like Yunwu tea, which is fragrant and elegant. Some are like wine, with strong fragrance. Want to savor the taste of life? Let’s take a look at Mr. Hong’s prose of WeChat official account and Hong Hai.
Hong Hai, the executive vice president of China Prose Society, is the representative work of Dongdu Dongdu, Calling My Sister to Call Xiao Hong, The Lotus of Women, The Paddle Sound of Canal, Feel the Soiled City and Country in Xi ‘an, and is the author of Hong Hai’s Talk on Prose, Appreciation of Tie Ning’s Fine Prose, a collection of short stories, and a play The Return of Egrets.
