Yang Hongying: It has been more than 20 years since I started publishing works at the age of 19. Over the years, I Children have never left their lives. They are like air, sunlight and water to me. Only by being with children can you have a deep understanding of their current psychology, living conditions and thoughts.

Reporter: Are you satisfied with the overall performance of the cartoon puppet stage play "Giant's Castle"?

Yang Hongying: Better than I imagined. The stage lighting and props design are very avant-garde and have a strong visual impact. The two-meter-tall giant and the children dancing on the dining table are highlights. "Giant's Castle" highlights the animation feel in the costume show, which is in line with the aesthetic taste of children who like cartoon images in reality. Stage play is a very good way of artistic influence and quality cultivation for children. It is a comprehensive art that integrates art, language, music, and performance. It can make children like stage art and enhance their artistic accomplishment.

Reporter: What is unique compared with traditional children’s dramas?

Yang Hongying: None of the current domestic children's stage plays reflects the current lives of children. "Giant's Castle" is the country's first cartoon puppet show that reflects real life performances.

Reporter: What theme does "The Giant's Castle" express?

Yang Hongying: This work not only writes about the world of children, but also the world of adults. It expresses the loneliness in the inner world of adults. Inner loneliness is one of the most painful pathologies in industrialized society. By analyzing the gaps and misunderstandings between the adult world and the children's world, we advocate communication and understanding, helping children understand the adult world and the diversity and richness of the world.

Give children the feeling of growing up

Reporter: The cute, naughty and helpful Ma Xiaotiao has become a good friend of children. When you created this image, you were inspired by where?

Yang Hongying: It has been three years since the mischievous Ma Xiaotiao series was launched. It is no exaggeration to say that this image has become a household name and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. I hope Ma Xiaotiao will become a close friend of all Chinese children. Traditional children's books often portray excellent role model images of children. When children read them, they feel that they are full of shortcomings and they will lose their self-confidence. This prompted me to write about an ordinary child - Ma Xiaotiao. He has shortcomings and advantages. He corrects some shortcomings every day, and new problems appear every day. We will see the trajectory of a child's slow growth. After reading it, young readers can find that they have many advantages that Ma Xiaotiao does not have, and they can also find the same shortcomings as Ma Xiaotiao. Children often say to me that the characters in the book are like writing about the little friends around me.

Reporter: Among many children's books, your book has always been at the top of the sales list of similar books. From the author's point of view, how do you catch the eyes of young readers, in other words, attract young readers? What’s the secret to readers?

Yang Hongying: First of all, we must respect the children. Consider your child's language expression. I believe that when writing for children, you should squat down and be equal to the children. As a teacher and a mother, I will definitely be responsible for my works. Not only should the book be beautiful to read, but it should also have an educational effect and make children feel the beauty of life, which requires certain writing skills.

Reporter: "Harry Potter" and its author J.K. Rowling are popular all over the world. The first four books sold 6 million copies in China. What do you think of this phenomenon? Will it have an impact on your creation?

Yang Hongying: I think it’s a good thing. Children’s books should let a hundred flowers bloom. My works are original local works and cannot be completely replaced by similar imported books. Whether it is my works or imported reading materials, they are like a sumptuous meal from which children can get a variety of nutrients.

·Postscript·

China has 300 million children, the largest children’s book market in the world, and many local writers and works , but not many are accepted by children. It is difficult for children's literature books to reach 10,000 copies, and a large number of works are overstocked. Yang Hongying's works are unique and continue to sell well, and many of her works have been adapted into stage plays, TV series, and movies. This phenomenon is both a good thing and a regret. In the face of China's 300 million children, only one Yang Hongying is obviously not enough. We don't want to see children have no choice but to "Ma Xiaotiao". Children need books, and they need good books. , we need more "Yang Hongying" teachers who write books for children.

Yang Hongying

Starting from the second half of 2002, Yang Hongying began to create her own writing The boldest and longest series since: the Naughty Bao Ma Xiaotiao series. This is the first time she has carefully constructed a series of children's novels with a core character - a primary school student who is in the third grade of primary school.

Immersed in it, the first one to jump out was naturally the little guy named Ma Xiaotiao - so Yang Hongying described the birth of Ma Xiaotiao like this: The first feeling was hard, and then Leng Bingbing - where is this? Compared with mother's warm belly, the situation here is a bit worse - Ma Xiaotiao refused to open his eyes and cry, but it was actually the nurse who was weighing him. So Ma Xiaotiao started to dance. But if a little thing jumps again, what else can it do? It's just that the pointer on the newborn baby scale is swinging back and forth, but it can't exactly show how much this little guy weighs?

Later, Ma Xiaotiao's father scrapped the original name and gave him his current name - Ma Xiaotiao - dancing, high jumping, jumping up and down. Jumping, jumping around... In Yang Hongying's writing, this restless, naughty, and prank-loving little boy begins his own colorful and full-featured coming-of-age comedy.

Is it difficult? No. When reporters asked about the writing status of this latest series of children's novels, Yang Hongying answered simply. Yang Hongying said that in fact, although the writing plan for this series is huge, when it comes to writing every detail and every story, it seems to be relaxed and enjoyable. Yang Hongying said that writing novels is actually about rubbing shoulders with the children in her novels in a virtual reality. What a pleasant thing it is. I'm not the kind of writer who insists on writing even if he can't write anything, who thinks he is a writer so he must keep writing endlessly - so what kind of writer are you? the reporter asked. I am the kind of writer who puts fun and enjoyment in life first. If one day I feel that I can no longer write and there is nothing left to write, I will stop writing and immediately do other things. Yang Hongying answered simply.

Is it fun? Yes - Yang Hongying answered without thinking. Yang Hongying said that the fun of writing children's novels lies in discovery and excavation. Finally, you will understand again that "childlike innocence" can give us the greatest fun - this conclusion applies to both adults and children. In fact, parents and adults like many of the novels I wrote very much, probably because they found in my stories a lot of childlike innocence that had been forgotten, forgotten, cooled, and dusted... Everyone has experienced the joy of regaining something, so I understand.

Are you building a kingdom of childlike innocence? yes. Yang Hongying said definitely. Maybe the kingdom is a bit exaggerated, but that’s what it means. At least it is a kingdom between myself and my little readers. Childlike innocence is not just for children. You may have discovered that even in the face of sudden disasters such as SARS, or it is not so serious, usually what we face are just trivial troubles, distress, dissatisfaction, and unhappiness, but a person with a childlike innocence is different from a person without Children with a childish heart will definitely feel differently.

In addition to the young readers who are familiar with Yang Hongying and their parents, there are many people who don’t know her. Yang Hongying has a rich experience: she is a member of the Chinese Writers Association and a member of the "Young Writers" She is an associate editor and editor of a magazine, has been a teacher, and has been a class teacher... Due to the successful creation of many best-selling books such as "Girl's Diary", "Boy's Diary", "Bad Boy in Class 53", "Pretty Teacher and Bad Boy", she He has become a popular best-selling author among children and young readers. But in fact, now, Yang Hongying is still Yang Hongying.

In Yang Hongying's view, it is a good thing that three or five works have sold more than 400,000 copies; "Girl's Diary" has been filmed by China Film Group, and "Bad Boys of Class 53" has been filmed by Beijing Television The TV series is a good thing; the new book "Pretty Teacher and the Bad Boy" was released during the SARS period, and 30,000 copies were sold out in less than a month, and an additional 30,000 copies were urgently printed and sold out again, which is a good thing; Relay Publishing House is preparing for it recently It is a good thing to register the image of "Ma Xiaotiao" as a trademark. Focusing on books, they will also comprehensively develop peripheral products of the Ma Xiaotiao brand image to market and industrialize it, etc. But in addition to these good things, Yang Hongying is more concerned about bringing happiness and wisdom to her young readers and older readers, and working with them to create a broader, more colorful kingdom of childlike innocence.
