出走半生,归来仍是漠阳江畔少年——评洪永争《摇啊摇,疍家船》

Half a Life Away, Still Young——Comment on Hong Yongzheng's “Shake and shake, boat dwellers”

《摇啊摇,疍家船》,是作家为故乡谱写的一曲悠扬的歌。如果小说也有色调之分的话,那么《摇啊摇,疍家船》无疑是明亮柔和的暖色调,里面没有一个坏人,没有大开大合的情节,没有惊险刺激的场面,有的只是疍家人的平凡日子,只是平淡中的相守,只是困境中的相互扶持,这使得整部小说充满了人性美和人情美。虽然故事情节简单,可作家花费了大量笔墨,细致描绘了疍家人的衣食住行,民风民俗及山川风物,这就使得小说具有了浓厚的地域色彩和疍家风情,也间接起到了保护和传承疍民文化的作用,小说也因此具有了方志学的意义。
