老藤的长篇小说《草木志》以一名驻村书记的成长经历回应了贯穿当代文学的“青年到何处去”的历史命题,塑造出与新时代社会实践“共名”的新人形象;通过对东北自然风景、人造景观和“人的风景”的重新发现,描绘了充满自然生机与人文诗意的新时代山乡巨变图景,焕发乡村的人文活力和生命力;在展开墟里乡村建设的过程中,在宏大叙事与微观生活、整体目标与地方经验之间建立起有效勾连的认知迭代路径,从而完成了新历史语境下的乡土叙事。

Lao Teng's novel Chronicles of Grass and Trees responds to the historical question of"where the youth should go"that permeates contemporary literature by chronicling the growth of a village cadre.The novel depicts the dramatic transformations of the mountainous villages brimming with natural vitality and cultural poetry in the new era while radiating humanistic and rural vibrancy.In the process of reconstructing Xuli village,the novel establishes an effective cognitive iterative path between grand narratives and micro-life,and between holistic goals and local experiences,thus completing a narrative of rural life in the new historical context.
