中国当代文学作品精选：天长地久（英）

　　长篇小说《天长地久》，是作家张海迪继《轮椅上的梦》《绝顶》之后的又一力作。海迪在小说的前言里有一句话：“很多年来，我一直有一个愿望——在我还能握住笔的时候，写一部关于星空的书。这个愿望来自我童年时对天空的冥想，也是成年后对时光飞逝如梭的怅惘。”她以女性少有的宏大气魄描绘了无边的宇宙星空和壮阔的自然景象，塑造了天文学家杜克成、河流学家曾在平、雕塑家余锦菲、动物学家朱丽宁等别具尊严和精神的知识分子形象，深刻而理性地探照了现代人的心灵。 The long novel， Enduring as the Universe， is another masterpiece by Zhang Haidi following her Dream on Wheelchair and The Topmost. Zhang explains the reason for writing the book in the Preface： “I have long cherished a dream—writing a book about the sky dotted with stars—before I couldn’t even hold a pen. Actually， it originates from my childhood meditation about the sky and it also mirrors my adult regret over the passing of time.” She depicted an immense universe with boundless starry sky and splendid natural landscape. She also created a number of roles pursuing individual dignity and high spirit， such as Du Kecheng， an astronomer， Zeng Zaiping， an expert in potamology， Yu Jinfei， a sculptress， and Zhu Lining， a zoologist. These roles will lead the readers to deeply and rationally explore the minds of the modern people.
