Personal evaluation

Li Ruqing is warm, sincere, optimistic, frank and talkative. He made no secret of his "weakness" in his creation: first, his cultural foundation was weak, which was caused by his low educational background; second, his long-term political propaganda work and party secretary's work. There were many non literary things, which were easy to flow into preaching. According to literary norms, the more obscure the theme, the better. On the contrary, he thinks that the more distinct the theme is, the better. He even goes straight to the theme as soon as he writes. General literary norms think that it can't preach, but he thinks that literature should have educational function besides entertainment function! He believes that the educational function is the root of the writer's sense of social responsibility and historical mission, which is not only derived from the speech at the Yan'an Forum on literature and art. In his words, it means "in my childhood, I knew that" books are persuasive ". Later, I knew that" writing carries the Tao "or" spiritual food ". Up to now, I still stubbornly believe that literature reflects life, that is how life is, and that it should truly reflect life. I think that while writing about life as it is, we should also write about what life should be like. This is also a kind of "idealism." This is his firm belief in life and career, as well as his strong sense of mission and faithful confession.

Mr. Li Ruqing is a high-yield and high-quality writer with rich experience and exquisite writing style. Every work can be called a well deserved work of Chinese military literature at that time. From the perspective of the overall structure of the work, it reflects what Mr. Li Ruqing has always advocated: "literature, history and philosophy are three in one, inseparable". From the perspective of characters, each character is rich The works are full of the dialectical relationship of gain and loss, advantages and disadvantages, good and evil in historical events. The works are thought-provoking, enlightening life, and showing a wonderful world.
