فِي مُوَاجَهَةِ المُعْضِلَةِ القَائِمَةِ بَيْنَ عَائِلَتِهِ وَالمُجتمعِ، يُؤْثِرُ الأَبُ وَبِحَزْمٍ تَحَمُّلَ المَسْؤُولِيَّةِ فِي مَنْصِبِهِ فِي قِيَادَةِ القِطَارِ، وَتَقْدِيمَ الخِدْمَةِ لِلشَّعْبِ، عَلَى حَيَاتِهِ الخَاصَّةِ. وَمِنْ خِلَالِ سَرْدِ الرِّوَايَةِ السَّلِسِ وَالمُبَاشَرِ، يُظْهِرُ الكِتَابُ التَّضْحِيَاتِ المِثَالِيَّةَ الَّتِي يُقَدِّمُهَا النَّاسُ فِي مَوَاقِفِ حَيَاتِهِمِ اليَوْمِيَّةِ، كَمَا وَيَعْمَلُ عَلَى إِظْهَارِ المَشَاعِرِ الحَقِيقِيَّةِ لِلشَّخْصِيَّاتِ، وَذَلِكَ بِطَرِيقَةٍ وَاضِحَةٍ، وَبِأُسْلُوبٍ تَصْوِيرِيٍّ مُكَثَّفٍ يُحَاكِي الوَاقِعَ.
يَبْدَأُ الكِتَابُ مِنَ السَّطْحِ المُتَلَأْلِئِ لِلنَّهْرِ، ثُمَّ يَتَقَدَّمُ بِسَرْدِ رِوَايَاتٍ مُهَدِّئَةٍ لِذَاكِرَةٍ رِيفِيَّةٍ مُبْهِجَةٍ، وَهُوَ يَعْكِسُ بِذَلِكَ العَالَمَ الدَّاخِلِيَّ البَسِيطَ لِلْمُؤَلِّفِ. أَمَّا الصُّوَرُ، فَقَدْ تَجَلَّتْ مِثْلَ قَصِيدَةٍ غِنَائِيَّةٍ طَوِيلَةِ الأَمَدِ، حَيْثُ تَمَاشَتْ جَنْبًا إِلَى جَنْبٍ مَعَ الكَلِمَاتِ، لِتُوَضِّحَ بِدِقَّةٍ سِمَاتِ الشَّخْصِيَّاتِ البَسِيطَةِ وَالاِنْطِوَائِيَّةِ، فَبَدَا التَّصْوِيرُ لَطِيفًا، وَالجَوُّ بَرِيئًا.
يَنْقُلُنَا الكِتَابُ إِلَى العَدِيدِ مِنَ اللَّحَظَاتِ الرَّائِعَةِ المَطْبُوعَةِ فِي ذَاكِرَةِ المُؤَلِّفَةِ لِصُنْعِ التُّوفُو مَعَ عَائِلَتِهَا، وَقَدْ أَعْرَبَتْ بَطَلَةُ قِصَّتِنَا، وَالَّتِي كَانَتْ تَعِيشُ فِي بَلَدٍ أَجْنَبِيٍّ، عَـنْ حَنِينِهَا الشَّدِيدِ إِلَى مَسْقَطِ رَأْسِهَا وَذِكْرَيَاتِ طُفُولَتِهَا. أَمَّا بِالنِّسْبَةِ إِلَى وَتِيرَةِ القِصَّةِ، فَقَدِ اتَّصَفَتْ بِالمُرُونَةِ وَالتَّوَازُنِ، وَكَذَلِكَ الأَمْرُ بِالنِّسْبَةِ إِلَى اللُّغَةِ المُسْتَخْدَمَةِ، وَالَّتِي بِدَوْرِهَـا جَعَلَتِ السَّـرْدَ مَفْهُومًا وَوَاضِحًا، مَـا يَعْكِسُ التَّغيِيرَ الهَائِـلَ الَّذِي طَـرَأَ فِي الظُّرُوفِ المَعيشيَّةِ اليَوْمِيَّةِ مَعَ تَقَدُّمِ العَصْرِ.
مَعَ الأُسْلُوبِ الفَنِّيِّ المُمَيَّزِ، وَاللُّغَةِ الشِّعْرِيَّةِ الفَرِيدَةِ، رَوَى الكِتَابُ قِصَّةَ الكَاتِبِ الَّذِي يَعْمَلُ فِي هَـذَا المَجَالِ لِأَكْثَرِ مِنْ 30 عَامًا، وَقَـدِ اسْتَخْدَمَ الصُّوَرَ الخَيَالِيَّةَ بِشَغَفٍ، لِتَتَرَافَقَ مَعَ الكَلِمَاتِ بِتَنَاغُمٍ وَانْسِجَامٍ، وَذَلِكَ فِي سَبِيلِ تَعْبِيرِهِ عَنْ حُبِّهِ وَتَقْدِيرِهِ لِلكُتُبِ بِشَكْلٍ جَلِيٍّ.
يَعْتَمِدُ هَذَا الكِتَابُ عَلَى سَرْدِ قِصَّةٍ حَقِيقِيَّةٍ تَنْطَلِقُ مِنْ وَاقِعِ حَيَاةِ البَطَلِ «وانغ جي كاي»، الَّذِي بَذَلَ جُهُودًا حَثِيثَةً فِي سَبِيلِ حِمَايَةِ الجَزِيرَةِ الَّتِي اسْتَوْطَنَهَا. وَقَدْ تَمَيَّزَتِ القِصَّةُ بِمُعَالَجَتِهَا لِمَوْضُوعٍ غَيْرِ مَأْلُوفٍ، وَاسْتِحْدَاثِهَا لِأَفْكَارٍ بَعِيدَةِ المَدَى، وَغِنَاهَا بِاللَّوْحَاتِ التَّصْوِيرِيَّةِ الجَذَّابَةِ، نَاهِيكَ عَنِ اسْتِخْدَامِ لُغَةٍ سَلِسَةٍ تُظْهِرُ صُعُودًا وَهُبُوطًا فِي المَعَانِي، مَا أَتَاحَ لِلْمُؤَلِّفِ فُرْصَةَ تَصْوِيرِ البَطَلِ وَمَا يُؤْمِنُ بِهِ بِأُسْلُوبٍ فَنِّيٍّ رَائِعٍ.
