Following Mo Yan' s Nobel Prize last October, the usually silent Chinese literary circle got warmed up again. A Shanghai writer named Jin Yucheng surprised nearly everyone by making his new novel full of Shanghai dialect(方言).
Published last month, the350,000-word Blossoms (Fan Hua) is a novel about the changes in Shanghai over 30 years, drawing clear images of the city through the stories of many common people. There is no main story like most novels, but every story in it could run independently. While Putonghua is the standard choice for Chinese literature today, Jin’s use of the Shanghai dialect appears both different and bold.
"I have seen too many novels that look similar to each other. Chinese literature is getting monotonous both in language and form. I want to be special with my own language, "Jin told the Global Times.
In the novel, Jin makes a breakthrough by mainly using dialogues to unfold various plots and represent typical characters on a daily basis.He also abandons the use of some punctuation like quotation marks (引号), showing a return to the traditional Chinese huaben genre(话本体).
Since its publication, the book has been widely recommended on Sina Weibo with many netizens (网民) rating the novel high for its unique use of dialect and vivid description of life using plain speech.
Jin said that he got the idea of, writing the novel while chatting in an online forum(论坛) where people use the Shanghai dialect. The praise he received from the netizens encouraged him to continue writing the random stories.
"I'd like to see more writers to follow my lead. It will enrich our literature and make it diverse," he said.

B
I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval, he will learn to love himself and will be successful in his own way.
Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he should concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn’t even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting frustrated, but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up. Could he be more intent while standing up?
This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the discipline to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life.
Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality traits, and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids’ best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their way.
I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids’ ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesn’t mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being individual and unique. It makes us free and happy and that’s just the way I want my kids to live their own life.
1、At the beginning, the author tried to keep his son seated in order to make him ________.
A．finish his homework on time B．keep silent in the room
C．pay more attention to his study D．get right answers
2、Inspired by the case of his son, the author began to doubt ________.
A．the old form of education B．the importance of parents
C．the relationship between kids and their parents D．the good grades of some kids
3、According to the passage, which of the following statements is RIGHT?
A．We should help kids correct their wrong ways.
B．Parents should love and accept their kids.
C．Parents should study their kids’ DNA．
D．Kids should be taught to behave themselves.
4、Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A．Study Hard and You’ll Be Successful
B．Be Friendly to Your Children
C．Parents’ Help with Their Children’s Study
D．Children’s Success in Their Own Style
