Humanity,compassion and poetry in First Snow——With the aesthetic meaning of Lu Ling's"Korean War"
In the early years of New China,Lu Ling went deeply into the Korean warfield and created distinct works on the theme of"The Korean War".Unlike other works with macro-themes,he did not take the war as the main narration.Instead,he took the war as the broad screen to interpret the human hearts,and focused on discovering the psychological activities and living conditions of ordinary people under the war.Lu Ling's writing inherited Hu Feng's Idea of"Subjective fighting spirit"and was also influenced by eastern and western aesthetic cultures.First Snow is the most aesthetical among his"Korean War"series,showing the beauty and warmth beyond the sublime aesthetics,demonstrating the beauty of human nature,the beauty of compassion and the beauty of poetry.The portrayal of"Ordinary"heroes,the skillful use of narrative subplots and the vivid portrayal of the friendship between China and North Korea,all of these make Lu Ling's writing a"Heterogeneity",which provides a new perspective to understand the war and human nature beyond the mainstream view of war.Furthermore,it also embodies the spirit of internationalism and the sense of a community with shared future for mankind.
