作家如果脱离了生活实践,固然会导致创作源泉的枯竭,然而有些作者,尤其是一些青年作者,虽长期身居基层,并获得了丰富的生活储备,却也常常苦于“没东西可写”。原因何在呢?西方著名艺术家马蒂斯的一段轶事颇能启人心智。当有人问他:一个西红柿在你吃它的时候和要把它画下来的时候,看上去是不是一个样子? However, some writers, especially some young writers, often live in grass-roots units for a long time and gain abundant living reserves. However, they often suffer from “nothing can be written.” Why? The anecdote of the famous Western artist Matisse can inspire me. When someone asks him: Does a tomato look like it when you eat it and when you want to paint it?
