编者按 近年来，中华文化“走出去”的影响力不断扩大，在全球文化多元化发展日益兴盛的背景下，中国文化译研网(CCTSS)联合中国作家协会《小说选刊》杂志社，启动“新世纪中国当代作家、作品海外传播数据库”项目，将100位中国当代优秀作家的简介、代表作品以及展示作家风采的短视频翻译为10种语言，集结成1000张中国作家名片向全球推介。千张“作家名片”将鲜明地向世界宣告：我是中国作家，我在进行中国创作。 此种形式和规模是中国故事走向世界的一大创新，会让世界更加全面、客观、公正地了解中国优秀作家作品，同时也是打通中国文化走向世界的“最后一公里”。 宋小词，女，生于1982年1月，本名宋春芳，成长于湖北荆州松滋市西南边角的一个小乡村里。大学毕业后做过乡村教师、电台编辑、报社记者，2008年迁到武汉生活，在武汉的基层文化馆工作，2015年成为江西省南昌市文联的专业作家。 宋小词的第一篇文学作品是一首小诗，写于16岁，发表于松滋县级市的文学刊物《洈水》，此后对文学创作产生了强烈的热情。她的小说代表作是：中篇小说《开屏》《直立行走》《祝你好运》。这三部作品的共同特点是，都以女性视角书写，都是书写从乡村到城市打拼的年轻女性的辛酸悲苦和命运遭际。评论家刘颋女士说：“宋小词的小说对现实生活、人生细节有一种非常强的解剖能力。可以说宋小词每一篇小说都是一个战场，一个寸土必争的战场，人物与生活交战、与社会交战、与自我交战，这是宋小词小说在文本内部给我们构造出来的一个比较丰沛的小说世界。”作家苏北说：“宋小词小说多直面人生，现实感很强。她的小说让人记挂，你看了几页，就会放不下，就会牵挂小说里人物的命运。” 《开屏》讲述了来自农村穷门小户家的姑娘秦玉朵在都市生活中的坎坷遭遇，她千方百计嫁入豪门，受尽欺辱，颜面无存，但为了优越的生活她甘愿隐忍，不择手段地解决生活、家庭、职场的多重困境，最后又归于失败的故事。《直立行走》以城市房屋拆迁为题材,在城市平民期望改善生活的挣扎中,极为冷静地表达人的命运与尊严。作品以底层社会的悲剧故事、委曲求全的人物性格、一波三折的叙事节奏,以及直面生活的姿态书写出现实生活的困境与病痛。《祝你好运》讲述乡村女孩伍彩虹通过从小给城里舅舅做保姆，用近十年的青春终于换来了一套城市的住房，在城里有了立脚之地，不堪的婚姻，残废的丈夫，传销的职业令伍彩虹的生活一直处在困顿之中，而当舅舅突然要收回当初赠予她的房产，使她在城市的生活彻底陷入绝望。宋小词的小说写出了底层人的凶狠、挣扎、无奈与可悲。 近期，宋小词创作了一篇书写当下中国农村现状的中篇小说，作品写的是农村孤寡老人和一位傻女的悲惨命运，小说表达的是作者近几年对中国乡村问题的思索。 Song Xiaoci The female Chinese writer Song Xiaoci was born Song Chunfang in rural Songzi City, Jingzhou, Hubei, January 1982. After graduating from university, Song took up the jobs of village teacher, radio editor and newspaper correspondent. In 2008, she relocated to Wuhan to work at a grass-roots cultural centre and in 2015 became a professional writer at the Nanchang branch of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles. Song’s first work, a poem she composed at the age of 16, was published in the local Songzi City literary journal Weishui and kindled her interest in creative writing. Her novellas Open Screen, Walking Upright and Good Luck follow the hardships of young female protagonists as they migrate from the countryside to the city for work. According to critic Liu Ting, “Song Xiaoci’s stories boast incisive observations of the minute details of real life. You could say that all of Song’s novels are battlefields, with each character fighting it out for every inch of land. The battles take place between people and life, with society and with the self. This is the vivid world that Song creates within her stories.” Writer Su Bei notes, “Song Xiaoci’s stories confront reality head-on. They’re highly realistic. Song’s novels are unputdownable. She writes in a way that makes you really care about the fate of her characters.” Open Screen tells the ups and downs of Qin Yuduo, a girl from a small rural family who has moved to the city. Qin does everything possible to get married into a rich family and solve the problems in her family and career. Walking Upright takes China’s demolition and resettlement program as its theme, with the struggles of ordinary people to transform their lives a key focus. The story is essentially a tragedy about people living at the lower rungs of society written in realistic style. Good Luck tells the story of a village girl named Wu Caihong who spends over a decade working as a nanny for her uncle in the city to save enough money to buy a house. Yet her marriage to a disabled man and her job as a network marketer exhaust her, and her life is thrown into desperation once her uncle decides to reclaim the house he helped her purchase. Song Xiaoci is currently writing a novella set in the Chinese countryside about the tragic fate of a lonely old man and a foolish girl. The work is an embodiment of Song’s decades-long reflection on China’s rural issues.  编辑 | 罗雨静 “文化互译，沟通世界” |
