At the seminar on the works of "Summary of Night Tales", Li Yi, dean of the School of Literature and Journalism of Sichuan University, said: "Ma Lao Ma is a particularly alternative and unique writer in my mind. To be honest, our literary history is underestimated by Ma Lao, at least the evaluation is insufficient. This is a question worthy of our scholars studying the history of modern and contemporary literature, and should seriously reflect on it."
Li Yi said that readers know that many people always make it because of Jiang Wen's movie "Let the Bullets Fly". "Ma Lao Ma actually has two brush strokes, one is a grand narrative of the history of the revolution. He has many works that describe the times; and he essentially represents another alternative brush stroke, which can better reflect his true nature." Li Yi said that Ma Lao once had many poems, which actually helped to understand some of the original intentions and thoughts of this "night fairy" series. "He called himself "the stubborn stones are born but not replenished the sky, and he was willing to fall into the great wilderness." These are actually very interesting. He is originally an important part of the grand narrative, but he has another state of mind and another unique gaze. This gaze regards himself as the edge, and in terms of mentality, he regards himself as the edge."
Li Yi said that looking at Mr. Ma's "Night Tale" series, from the past to the latest, they are all marginal people. Some marginal people tell some marginal stories in the boring state of life, but this is his deliberate observation of life. If summarizing it through three keywords, one is the folk, the other is the daily life, and the third is the place. "It is in these three narratives that make a big difference to our common modern and contemporary literature. However, as you guys just discussed, we can see through these angles his very unique and delicate and unique perspectives about life and human nature. This is particularly worth explaining today."
Ma Lao's Longmen Formation is not a one-way expression, but Sichuan Longmen Formation is a multi-part expression. Sichuan's series has the artistic tradition of the Longmen Formation, but when Ma Lao is applied more consciously and maturely. "What is the expression of multi-parts? We emphasize all narratives, whether they are restrictive narratives or non-restrictive narratives, but in Ma's "Summary of Nights" sees that how his audience reflects them, he has different opinions and comments. This thing is a very intriguing meaning among the people. It is not an ordinary narrative, but a special storytelling, not an ordinary storytelling, but a special storytelling. I think these places can leave a deep impression on people."
Li Yi said that Ma's creation is a very typical embodiment of the cognitive perspective of the local path. Entering from such an angle can open up the entire 20th century Chinese literature. It can be said that special writing that has been ignored for a long time in the past. "Someone just said that there are fewer and fewer successors. I also think that if there is no successor, it is a very big regret for our Chinese literature. Because of this, many internal things are worth our careful discussion."
