  近年来,中国文化“走出去”的影响力不断扩大,在全球文化多元化发展日益兴盛的背景下,中国文化译研网(CCTSS)联合中国作家协会《小说选刊》杂志社,启动“新世纪中国当代作家、作品海外传播数据库”项目,将100位中国当代优秀作家的简介、代表作品以及展示作家风采的短视频翻译为10种语言,集结成1000张中国作家名片向全球推介。千张“作家名片”将鲜明地向世界宣告:我是中国作家,我在进行中国创作。


  此种形式和规模是中国故事走向世界的一大创新,会让世界更加全面、客观、公正地了解中国优秀作家作品,同时也是打通中国文化走向世界的“最后一公里”。


  郑彦英,男,1953年6月26日出生,陕西省礼泉县人。毕业于武汉大学中文系。一级作家。现任中国作家协会散文学会副会长。出版长篇小说《从呼吸到呻吟》《拂尘》等九部,作品集《太阳》《在河之南》《郑彦英诗语焦墨画——乡村模样》等十二部,电影剧本《秦川情》等三部,电视剧本《石瀑布》《彭雪枫将军》等六部;三十余部著作获全国“五个一”工程奖、全国社科人文科学优秀成果奖等奖项。1985年,小说《太阳》改编的电影《秦川情》第一次代表中国参展西柏林国际电影节;2008年,在中国三十省作协主席网络小说大展中,郑彦英的小说《从呼吸到呻吟》,获得最佳人气奖、最佳小说奖,其与网红韩寒进行了网上争论,一时成为全国热点;2010年,散文集《风行水上》获得鲁迅文学奖。


  郑彦英的创作理念是“用自己的笔,真实描写对生活、对时代、对人类的感受,让自己的作品,走进人的灵魂,滋润人的灵魂。”他的文字反抗矫揉造作的风气,是接地气的、结结实实的文字,全然去掉了令人生厌的矫饰,它们的可爱完全在于直接得自生活的馈赠。其散文中浓郁的生活气息和文化含量得到了著名作家陈建功的高度评价。


  散文集《在河之南》以小说家的视觉和鲜活生动的语言书写中原人文。郑彦英长期客居中原,以考察和体验为基础,以现代目光和襟怀为魂灵,贯通古今,复活历史,图画山川,呈现出河南的形貌特征与精神气韵。小说《洗心鸟》讲述一个名叫林一静的大厂厂长,双休日带领手下的科长和同有、方发民,女秘书于晴及司机陈大二出海钓鱼,某种超自然的力量将他们带到一个远绝红尘的未知领域,在那里,他们遇到了种种生存的困难与障碍。小说不仅揭露了那些神化“至尊”与“大师”的本来面目,而且对进入信仰误区的人们有某种振聋发聩的警醒。散文集《风行水上》中的人、事、物,皆以最本真、最原初的形态展现在人们面前。无忧无虑的童年时代、空军军旅生涯、丰富的生活阅历都成为郑彦英的创作根底,他以大量篇幅概括了农村的生活常态,并配以极简拙、巧妙的图画,反映了社会历史变迁对农村的巨大影响。无论是那些美好的点点滴滴还是生活中的复杂和矛盾,都体现了郑彦英对乡村的真切而细微具体的感情。


  郑彦英的近作《龙行亚欧》写作历时两年,跋涉数万公里,足迹遍及亚欧,将家国情怀与千古忧思冶于一炉,对中欧班列的前世今生和未来前景进行解读,是一部全方位表现中欧班列的长篇纪实文学。

  Zheng Yanying


  Zheng Yanying, born on June 26, 1953, is from Liquan County, Shaanxi Province. He graduated from the Chinese Department of Wuhan University and is a first-class writer. He is currently a vice president of the China Writers Association Prose Society. He has published nine novels, including From Breathing to Groaning and Horsetail Whisk, 12 works collections including Sun, South of the River, Zheng Yanying’s Poetry and Ink Paintings - Country Models, and three screenplays including Qinchuan Love, six TV series including Stone Falls and General Peng Xuefeng; more than 30 of his books have won awards including the national “Five Ones” project award, the National Social Sciences Humanities Outstanding Achievements Award and other awards. In 1985, the film Qinchuan Love, adapted from the novel Sun, represented China for the first time at the West Berlin International Film Festival. In 2008, in the online novel exhibition of the 30th Provincial Association of Chinese Writers, Zheng Yanying’s novel From Breathing to Groaning, won the most popular novel award and the best novel award. There was an online debate over this novel and internet sensation Han Han, which became a national central issue overnight; in 2010, the essay collection Wind on the Water won the Lu Xun Literature Prize.


  Zheng Yanying’s creative philosophy is to use his own pen to truthfully describe feelings towards life, the times, and human beings. He lets his works enter the soul of the people, and moisturize the soul. His style is a rebellion against artificiality. It is grounded, solid text that completely does away with the boring pretense, and its charm lies entirely in the gifts that come directly from life. The rich living atmosphere and cultural content in his prose have been highly praised by the famous writer Chen Jiangong.


  The essay collection South of the River is about the culture of the Central Plains, written with the visual and vivid language of the novelist. Zheng Yanying has been living in the Central Plains for a long time. Based on his investigation and experience, his modern vision and a sorrowful mind, he connects the ancient to the modern, revives history and paints pictures of mountains and rivers, and shows the characteristics of the appearance and spirit of Henan. The novel Washed Heart Bird tells the story of a factory director named Lin Yijing. He takes his section chiefs He Tongyou, Fang Famin, female secretary Yu Qing and driver Chen Daji on a weekend fishing trip. A supernatural force brings them to an unknown area far away from the mortal realm, where they encounter various difficulties and obstacles to survival. The novel not only reveals the true colors of the deified “supreme chiefs” and “masters”, but also has some kind of inspired awakening for those who enter the misunderstanding of faith. The people, matters, and things in the essay collection Wind on the Water are presented to the people in the most authentic and original form. A carefree childhood, an air force military career, and rich life experience have become the foundations of Zheng Yanying’s creations. He summed up the normal life in rural areas in long essays, with extremely simple and ingenious pictures, reflecting the changes of social history and its great impact on the countryside. Whether it is those wonderful bits and pieces or the complexity and contradictions of life, all reflect the true and subtle and specific feelings of Zheng Yanying on the countryside.


  Zheng Yanying’s recent work, The Dragon Travels Asia and Europe, was written over the course of two years and after travelling tens of thousands of kilometers throughout Asia and Europe. It merges the feelings of the countries and their eternal worries, and interprets the past and present and future prospects of China and Europe. It is a long-form documentary writing work that expresses everything about China and Europe.
