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.
人世间有多少忧愁和期待、欲求和幻灭，在永恒的天地间上演。在浩瀚的宇宙中，人生只不过是一段微小的旅程，短暂如流星。然而，人们总要经历找寻和回归的过程。哪怕途中曾经困顿、迷惘，如果归来时风尘仆仆、步履铿锵，也就不虚此行。Every person across the globe has to live through worries, expectations, desires and disillusions. A lifetime is just a very short journey in the vast universe. It will soon vanish as a meteor. However, people have never stopped looking for the answers to the questions in their hearts, even though they may encounter difficulties and feel exhausted and confused on the way. What the people want is a return with definite answers. Then, the journey is worthwhile.
