· Experiences shape everything that shapes people ·
This is a language test that as long as you have attended school and taken a language test, you will not be unfamiliar with it.
The place of origin says that he was born in Chengdu, if you only look at the place of origin, you will think that he is an authentic Sichuanese. But before going to elementary school, I basically lived in Chongqing. When he was eight years old, he moved to Beijing with his family. Since then, he has settled in Beijing and has never left.
Most of my friends and I were born, raised, and met in the same place. Of course, I have also experienced that I was in the classroom, and suddenly the teacher stopped and introduced us to new classmates. I also experienced the situation that yesterday I said that we would go home together, and the next day the seats were empty.
Fortunately, this turmoil almost stopped in his childhood, and after settling in Beijing, he never left Beijing. Therefore, it is more accurate to say that he is from Anyue County, Ziyang City, Sichuan Province, according to his place of origin, rather than an authentic Beijinger. Growing up in Beijing should be said to have brought him the vision of the capital and the international pattern, and even provided a huge source of creation.
* Liu Xinwu works
He is today's protagonist, Liu Xinwu, a person who often appears in modern reading in language exams of all grades.
In 1985, after passing the age of confusion, the 300,000-word novel "Bell and Drum Tower", which mainly told the story of the Bell and Drum Tower in Beijing in the 1980s, was published. And won the second Mao Dun Literature Award.
Although Liu Xinwu frequently appears in the modern reading of Chinese language tests in all grades, after all, it has been several years, and it is impossible to recall which exam he first met. Like many things in life, people you know and remember things still have impressions in your mind, but you still don't get an answer to when and where you first met.
On this point, Zhou Yunpeng, the author of "Green Train", feels the same way as I do, writing that he took a long-distance train to Dali, a 50-hour hard-seat train. In order to stay up for time, I first paid attention to the conversation of the people on the train, then I got bored and turned back to what I was doing today the year before. And then increase the difficulty, 5 years ago, 6 years ago, 7 years ago, sometimes feel that they disappeared for a certain period of time, and they can't remember what was alive during that time.
Zhou Yunpeng
Although I don't know when we first met, the first impression I reflected in my mind when I saw Liu Xinwu's name was Chen Zhongzhong, the author of "White Deer Plain". His initial creative enlightenment came from Liu Xinwu's short story "Class Teacher" published by Liu Xinwu in 1977. It is also this novel that opens the way for Chinese scar literature to try.
However, Liu Xinwu's writing, and even his later extensive writing in the field of literature, will be due to a problem that may not be a problem now. This question later determined his education, and even the path he embarked on writing.
· Why did you go down the path of writing ·
Talk about why you went down the path of writing. The most fundamental reason for nature is to move from Sichuan to Chongqing, and then to Beijing, and it is this relocation that makes him close to the time and space of that fate.
A glance at Qianliang Hutong
When he first arrived in Beijing, he and his family lived in a large courtyard house in Qianliang Hutong, Dongcheng District, Beijing. Longfu Temple is near Dongsi, the east-west Longfu Temple Street, and the same east-west Qianliang Hutong, their middle section is sandwiched between this magnificent temple, the main entrance of the temple faces south, on Longfu Temple Street, the back door faces north, in Qianliang Hutong.
Beijing Qianliang Hutong
Performances are often held near Ryofuku-ji Temple, not every few days, but every day, but when there are festivals, more people come and go.
During the period of high school in Beijing No. 65 Middle School, every day to go to school, I had to walk through Longfu Temple, walk through the first theater of Longfu Temple called Longfu Temple Small Theater, and then go further, I arrived at the Beijing Theater. Because of the convenience of the location, he almost watched the repertoire of the performance. This also laid a very serious hidden danger for his life.
In 1959, Liu Xinwu was a student with little sensitivity to politics, and he did not know what was said at the Lushan Conference. There is only one thing on my mind, and that is to go to college. So much so that after taking the college entrance examination, he felt quite good about himself, passing through the university area in the western suburbs, still planning whether to go to Peking University or Tsinghua.
Wanwan did not expect that fate would make a joke on him, and the last person to admit him was the Beijing Normal College. Years later, he learned why.
Drama: Returning on a Snowy Night
It turned out to be a political problem. The geographical advantage made him often pass by the theater where renyi performed, and the play "Returning to the People on the Night of the Wind and Snow" performed at that time, because he understood the plot and because he was young, he described the plot with flying eyebrows at noon and openly praised the work and Wu Zuguang. At this time, Wu had been classified as a rightist, so some activists reported him, so they wrote on his graduation conduct comments, suggesting that it was not appropriate to admit and so on.
But it was also because of this encounter that Liu Xinwu was able to experience the Cultural Revolution as a middle school teacher, and then in 1977, based on his own life experience, he wrote a short story such as "Class Teacher", which became the beginning of scar literature. He caused a sensation and entered the literary world.
At the same time, due to the Guru's specialty, it was transferred from The East City of Beijing to the Southwest City. He also gained more understanding of Beijing City, which laid a solid foundation for the later writing of "Bell and Drum Tower" based on the lives of ordinary people in Beijing City.
· What else to write besides literature ·
Living in Qianliang Hutong for ten years made Liu Xinwu invisibly pay attention to his surrounding environment.
The architecture of the Beijing Courtyard, from the stone pier at the entrance, the brick carved shadow wall inside the door, the weeping flower door leading to the inner courtyard, the begonia tree in the inner courtyard, and the moon cave door leading to the annex, these seemingly professional architectural design vocabulary and aesthetic vocabulary are not derived from books, but the composition of his childhood living space.
In addition, the old place names of Beijing, he also has a lot of research experience. For example, Dongsi refers to the Dongsi Arch. Dongdan means that there is an archway on the east side. With the evolution of urban transportation construction, these archways have been demolished, so the original meaning of place names can only be traced from literary works and related research literature.

In order to record these life experiences, he created another novel, "The Four Arches". As a result, the architecture of the city, especially the old buildings and new modern buildings that disappeared in the process of urban development in Beijing, became another focus of his attention. In particular, the reconstruction of Longfu Temple and the reconstruction of the opposite archway stimulated him even more. He thought he had destroyed precious real antiques, and then spent a lot of money to counterfeit antiques, which made him feel sad.
So much so that in "The Four Arches", it is full of sad emotions, some things should not be let disappear, and some things should be made to disappear. Whether some things should disappear or not is unclear and unclear.
These words, which are integrated into the sense of life, do not torture others, but demand of themselves, and the demise of these ancient buildings, although he has no specific responsibility. But I still ask, as a person living here, what did the settlers of Beijing do for these buildings? Spiritual responsibility became what he demanded of himself.
In addition, the ten major buildings in Beijing to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the founding of the People have been completed and put into use, and the Great Hall of the People, the History Museum, the Telegraph Building, the Palace of National Culture, the Beijing Railway Station, the Military Museum, the Agricultural Exhibition Hall, the Workers' Stadium, the Workers' Stadium, and the Radio Building have become Liu Xinwu's greatest joy in the middle school era.
Decades of life and life experience in Beijing have given Liu Xinwu a huge source of creation and a treasure trove of materials. It also made him think even more that he was already an authentic Beijinger.
· Introducing a person with place of origin or with life ·
Jia Pingwa said that the place where a person is born is his bloody place. In it, he emphasizes the homeland, the homeland, and the deceased, and describes the infinite connection that the land produces in human life and life in the way that the land appeals to the heart.
But in Liu Xinwu's view, this statement may have another interpretation. Born in Chengdu, he lived in Chongqing as a child, living in Beijing as a teenager and as a teenager, and has not left since.
Years of life have also enabled him to conclude a set of formulas describing the relationship between man and land from his own point of view and the observation of the people around him: although he was not born in land A, or his place of origin is not place A, years of life experience have allowed a person to integrate into the life of the local people in terms of lifestyle and habits, and the common character of the local people has emerged. Then this person is probably an authentic local.
In his case, after becoming a professional writer in the Beijing Federation of Literature and Literature, he often had to be active in Chongwen District for work reasons, cycling to Lanlan City, always going to a snack bar, drinking spicy pickles and drinking bean juice in a scorched circle. Outsiders often can't accept the taste of bean juice, so whether they can accept bean juice has become the standard for measuring whether they are Beijingers.
Beijing bean juice
What exactly is this bean juice? Certainly not the soy milk we are familiar with. At the beginning of his award-winning novel "Bell and Drum Tower", it is described that soybean juice is not soy milk. Instead, the mung beans are soaked in water, ground into the original juice, fermented, decomposed into starch that can be used to make vermicelli, and then filtered out black powder and hemp tofu, and finally a sour and astringent turbid liquid left is bean juice. This description even has a taste of Wang Zengqi.
This reminds me of when I graduated, when I first arrived in the South, because I was not used to eating rice in the South. As soon as I got out of the car and put my luggage, I went straight to the city center to look for noodles, and finally I didn't find noodles, but under the pressure of hunger, when I chose a bright spicy hot dish on the side of the road, I chose double instant noodles, and I was confused with the soup.
In short, Liu Xinwu's novels may be because his profession is a teacher, an editorial publishing house, and a professional writer. The text pays more attention to the picture of ordinary people's lives. Zhang Jie (the novel "Heavy Wings", which depicts the story of the manufacturing reform) presented by Zhang Jie , who also won the second Mao Dun Literature Award, who has work experience in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, has more life.
I believe that the difficulty of reading it will inevitably decrease, although it is written in the 1980s, but the smell of fireworks will bring the reader and the author closer. After all, who is hungry and doesn't go to dinner?
