精彩人生乐章中的不和谐音符——关于报告文学《精彩吴仁宝》的几点质疑

Inharmonical Scales in Brilliant Movement of Life——Several Doubts about Rreportage《Brilliant WU Ren-bao》

著名作家何建明先生新写的长篇报告文学《精彩吴仁宝》,气势恢宏,文笔优美,展现了一个具有典型意义的共产党员风采,值得一读。然而,令人颇感遗憾的是:文中出现一些与事体情理相悖的细节描写。诸如:1961年华西村人均欠债15000元问题;吴仁宝在华西村任支部书记的时间是个变数;会计给技术人员扛着麻袋送奖金问题;华西村村名来历问题;华西村党支部组建时间问题;残疾人黄永高两岁时从树上掉下来摔断腿问题;吴仁宝家少领二、三亿元奖金问题等,都似乎有夸大其辞或掺假注水之嫌。使被歌颂对象有失真之感,其结果只能是欲高则不达,甚至是往先进人物脸上抹了黑,实在有违初衷。究其原因,从作家自身来讲,是对报告文学不能虚构情节的文体要求未能真正把握;从外部环境来说,与时下文界浮躁和掺假文风的浸染有关。

Long reportage 《Brilliant WU Ren-bao》recently written by famous writer HE Jian-ming is of great momentum and graceful writing style, also present a communist image of typical meaning, therefore it is worth reading. However, some detail description contrary to usual process occurred in the article. For example, debts per person amounted to 15000 yuan in huaxi country in 1961; the time when WU Ren-bao took as branch secretary in Huaxi country was a variable; The accountant lifted gunny-bag and sent bonus to technician; The name of Huaxi country was of questionable source; Time when huaxi country was established was in question; The maimed person HUANG Rong-gao fell down from a tree and damaged his leg at two; The family of WU Ren-bao received less bonus, and so on, all of which were of great exaggeration and didn＇t accord with the truth. These led to distortion to the object praised; More high, less speed, but also it got advanced people suffer a shame. Thus, it deviated from initial aim. One reason is that the writer can＇t grasp truly that reportage can＇t be made up according to the writer himself and the other reason is related to impetuous and false writing style according to outer environment.
