Since settling in Chengdu in 1983, Wang Huo, a Shanghainese who has been wandering in many places for most of his life, has been settled in Sichuan for 35 years. Talking about his feelings for Sichuan, he said: "Chengdu is the city where I have lived the longest so far. It's definitely my second home. I made a lot of local friends and had a good relationship. In Chuannei, Wang Huo often had a deep friendship with the hundred-year-old literary scholar Ma Zhitu and Ba Jin's nephew and writer Li Zhi. Every year on some major festivals, the three of them get together. In 1983, Wang Huo went to Chengdu to meet Ma Lao, and at first sight, he was as old as ever, "We talk about life and literature, we are very committed, and we have a great sense of knowing each other and hating each other." ”
On the morning of August 4, 2017, the latest 10 volumes and 12 volumes of 6.8 million words of "Wang Huo's Collected Works" published by Sichuan Literature and Art Publishing House were launched in Chengdu.
Wang Huo, a 93-year-old famous writer, attended the event and told the story of his relationship between creating Mao Award-winning works, "War and Man", and his mental journey of coming to Sichuan from Shandong to engage in publishing and writing. Ma Zhitu, 103, and Li Zhi, 88, both braved the sweltering heat to celebrate the publication of the "Wang Huo Anthology". The three friends met to shake hands and hug, and the scene was emotionally moving.

At the launch ceremony, The then 103-year-old Ma Lao took the stage to speak, telling about his deep friendship with Wang Huo and his wife, "Comrade Wang Huo and his lover have been friends with me for decades. The friendship of gentlemen is as light as water. Comrade Wang Huo often cared about my health and often came to visit me at home, and they spoke very little but were sincere. I feel it deeply. Comrade Wang Huo and I have a heart-to-heart relationship and are close friends. Comrade Wang Huo has always been more concerned about my creations. Wang Huo once said that writers over 90 are still creating, which is rare in the literary world. So I've been working on my work all these years, and that's exactly what my friends have inspired me. In recent years, I have picked up pen and paper and written several books. Ma Lao also recited a seven-law poem that he had previously written to Wang Huo and his wife, using the feelings between Li Bai and Wang Lun to express the feelings between me and Wang Huo, "At the turn of fresh water for dozens of springs, the pool is thousands of feet deeper than Wang Lun. We spent the night together in the same boat, and it was better to see each other than to be silent. ”
Wang Huo and Ma Zhitu
For the friendship with Ma Lao, Wang Huo was very emotional, "I am ten years younger than Ma Lao, and my friendship with him is as light as water, sometimes I can't see him once in half a year, but when I see him, I am very close to the past." I didn't call him much, for fear of disturbing him, but although it was a "freshwater friendship", Ma Lao thought that our friendship was as deep as Li Bai and Wang Lun. ”
As early as the end of the 1960s, Wang Huo read Ma Lao's works in magazines, "Looking for the Red Army" and "Old Third Sister", and when I looked at them, this was written by an old comrade, engaged in underground revolutionary work. A look at the author's name is Ma Zhitu. If the name is easy to remember, it is remembered. In 1983, after coming to Sichuan from Shandong to work, Wang Huo and Ma Zhitu were officially acquainted. Wang Huo Xiaoma is ten years old, but the two have very similar values, have a similar temperament, and become close friends.
Wang Huo has always admired Elder Ma, "Elder Ma is old and can completely abandon his pen to recuperate, but Elder Ma is still struggling to write a book." According to my own review of relevant information, Ma Lao is the most creative writer in the world who can maintain such a strong creative force at the age of 104. I think this is his love for literature and his inability to do anything else; this is a two-shoulder responsibility for the motherland and the people, and he is unwilling to be indifferent. Wang Huo also proposed that Ma Lao's long masterpiece "Qingjiang Zhuangge" should be translated into different languages and pushed into the world so that more people can see this excellent work.
"Ma Zhitu and his works are not only sichuan, but also Chinese, but also a valuable asset of the world. If I hadn't been older, I would have done the translation myself. On June 25, 2018, the "Ma Zhitu Anthology" was first released in the provincial map. Wang Huo, who had just been seriously ill, also rushed to the scene and read out that he had written a couplet for Ma Lao--"Bold and loyal to the old revolutionary, brilliant and brilliant great writer." ”
