Hearing the Wind/听风 [Chinese]

By 高愉

Listening to the Wind tells the story of three young female military officers living and growing up in a Gobi Desert military barracks. The author focuses on the professional development, character building, and emotional entanglements of three distinct female soldiers deep in the Gobi, shaping a group of contemporary military personnel who are idealistic, faithful, morally upright, strong-willed, and both ordinary and extraordinary. The three heroines have very different personalities. Lan Ge is quiet and determined. In order to uncover the mystery of her father Lan Yishi's death, she resolves to take up his former post and find the cause of the missile malfunction that took his life. Mai Jia is lively and unconventional, determined to make even the most uneventful military life full of ups and downs. Xiao Mi is understanding, gentle, and shy, having secretly pined for the commander of the target battalion for years without daring to speak up. While depicting the development of the military, the author places greater emphasis on the daily work and life of soldiers in peacetime. This includes Technician Deng Baiping's tolerance toward Xiao Mi, cook Gong Ping's successful entry into military academy with the help of his comrades, and the burly Shandong native Li Weiqiang's quiet, everyday gestures of support for Mai Jia. Military life is not only stirring and inspiring but also filled with camaraderie and genuine emotion. Listening to the Wind surges with an uplifting, positive main theme that invigorates the reader. Its nuanced, delicate descriptions are warm and moving. Beyond the inspiration, warmth, and emotion, the story also carries a sense of regret-the passing of young lives evokes deep sighs, reminding us that even in peacetime, extraordinary sacrifice is still required. 《听风》讲述的是三位青年女军官在戈壁军营中生活和成长的故事。作者选取了三位不同性格的女兵在戈壁深处军营中历经的专业成长、品格锤炼、情感纠葛等为主线，塑造了一批有理想有信仰，品格优异、意志坚定，平凡而伟大的当代军人。 三位女主人公性格迥异，蓝戈沉默寡言，意志坚定，为了探寻父亲蓝一石去世之谜，立志走上父亲当年的工作岗位，去寻找当年导弹故障的原因。麦嘉性格活跃，标新立异，平淡的军营生活也要过得跌宕起伏。小米善解人意，温顺腼腆，多年暗恋靶标营营长不敢开口。 作者在描摹部队发展历程的同时，更加侧重和平年代的军旅日常工作和生活，邓柏平技师对小米的包容，炊事班战士龚平在战友们的帮助下考上军校，山东大汉李伟强通过点滴日常表达对麦嘉的支持。军营生活有振奋和鼓舞，更有友爱和真情。 《听风》澎湃着昂扬向上的主旋律，振奋人心；其细腻入微的描写，温暖动人。除了振奋和鼓舞，温暖与感动，书中故事也令人惋惜，年轻生命的逝去，让人无限感喟，和平年代依然需要超常付出。
