Ouyang Qiansen's new novel "Get Up" tells the story of the Long March from the perspective of a small character

China News Service, Beijing, November 12 (Reporter Ying Ni) A new book release and sharing meeting for the well-known writer Ouyang Qiansen's novel "Get Up" was recently held in Beijing. The new work measures and pays tribute to the immortal spiritual monument of the Long March in a literary way. It has been jointly launched by People's Literature Publishing House and Guizhou People's Publishing House.

Compared with the author's "Xiongguan Mandao" 20 years ago, which started with a grand narrative, the new work "Get Up" tells how the Long March sowed the fire of revolution from the perspective of a small person. The novel tells the story of an ordinary mother and her children struggling to survive in the turmoil during the Red Army's Long March through eastern Guizhou. The protagonist Leng Xiaoduo is a mother of five children. At first, she just wanted her children to live well. When she saw clearly that the Red Army can seek happiness and a way out for the people, she shouted, "Whoever can die for us, we can die for," and resolutely took her children on the road to find the Red Army.

Wu Yiqin, vice chairman of the Chinese Writers Association, said that "Get Up" continues the writer's personal creative style, which is confident, down-to-earth and full of life. The writer fully integrated his deep understanding of Guizhou's red resources with his writing method of "perfectly connecting small events with big history".

Meng Fanhua, a distinguished professor at Shenyang Normal University, believes that Ouyang Qiansen's creation in "Get Up" is "a new line of work" that focuses on the relationship between ordinary people and the revolution, and fully describes the process of "how the people enter history" in a sensible and sensible way.

Ouyang Qiansen, chairman of the Guizhou Federation of Literary and Art Circles and chairman of the Guizhou Writers Association, shared the origin of his creation. His hometown is in the old revolutionary base of eastern Guizhou, and he has been familiar with the story of the Red Army since he was a child. When he was a geological team member in his early years, he traveled all over the mountains and rivers of eastern Guizhou. He heard countless little-known stories about the Red Army while walking through villages, villages, and trekking through mountains and rivers, so he wanted to write about this subject for a long time. Since then, he has created many Red Army-themed novels and film and television dramas such as "Xiongguanmandao" and "The Great Turning". The novel "Get Up" tells from the perspective of a small character how the people at the bottom make choices in the big history.

It is understood that the script of the movie of the same name adapted from the novel "Get Up" has been completed and is scheduled to start filming in Tongren, Guizhou this year and is scheduled to be released in 2027.
