"Tell you, when I think of you, my ugly face is full of smiles..."
"I give you my whole soul, along with its quirks playing with little temper ... It's so nasty, only a little good, love you."
"No matter how mediocre I am, I always feel that my love for you is beautiful"
"I am a tacky person, seeing mountains is mountains, seeing the sea is the sea, seeing flowers is flowers." Only when I saw you, the sea of clouds began to churn, the rivers and lakes began to surge, and the whiskers of insects tickled the itch of the world. You don't need to open your mouth, and I and all the things in heaven and earth will run to you. ”
These vivid and stunning love words were said by Wang Xiaobo to his lover Li Yinhe. Wang Xiaobo, known as "China's Joyce and Kafka", has died young in 1977, but Li Yinhe has never stopped missing Wang Xiaobo in the past two decades.
01 Interesting soul encounters
According to Li Yinhe's recollection, when he graduated and entered the Guangming Daily as an editor, one day he found that the female colleague next to him was crying at a manuscript, and he took a look at it in a confused way, who knew that he could not extricate himself, this is a novel manuscript, written about the first love of a pair of young boys and girls, "Although it is still quite naïve, it touched my heartstrings." Although she has never known this author, she has a sense of "having a sharp mind", and she secretly remembers the signature at the back of the manuscript - Wang Xiaobo.
One day, after inquiring that Wang Xiaobo was the son of the logician Wang Fangming, Li Yinhe grabbed a friend and went there, saying that the name was to ask for teaching, but there was Xiao Jiujiu, and she wanted to see where this Wang Xiaobo was sacred. Who knows this is not a good idea:
"At first glance, I think he looks really ugly, and I am secretly a little disappointed in my heart." However, the two finally had a communication, and after the first time the two were alone, Wang Xiaobo opened the door: "Do you have a boyfriend?" ”
At this time, Li Yinhe, who had just broken up with the previous "handsome guy" with a high nose and good eyebrows, did not have time to think about it and confessed that he was single. Who expected Wang Xiaobo to listen to the single knife straight in: "How do you see me?" ”
Before this, Li Yinhe had never seen such a straight and fierce person, and it just so happened that this was the place that attracted Li Yinhe the most. After suffering from the last wishful first love, Li Yinhe saw through a little, the partner wants to find someone with a similar soul, obviously someone like Wang Xiaobo can give her infinite surprises. Wang Xiaobo's interesting soul and talent attracted her, and this attraction was a lifetime.
02 Internet gangsters who are delayed by novels
Although Wang Xiaobo is very good at writing novels, he is actually a science student and an outstanding programmer in the industry. He was one of the earliest programmers in China, who developed his own input method in May 1991, took the lead in seamlessly connecting Chinese in the English environment, and made a variety of tools for writing novels.
His name should have been put together with Zhang Chaoyang, Ding Lei, Ma Yun and Zhang Xiaolong. However, he said that "now I have no interest in microcomputers, because I find that I can also make money by writing novels", refused the warm invitation of many zhongguancun bosses, but mistakenly let himself be listed with Yu Hua, Chen Zhongzhong, Jia Pingwa, Mo Yan, Shi Tiesheng, etc., and became a banner in the Chinese literary circle...
In 1994, the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was connected to the Internet for the first time. At that time, Zhang Chaoyang was the head of liaison at MIT Asia Pacific (China); Wang Zhidong had just founded Sitong Lifang for one year; Ding Lei borrowed his first yahoo account and logged on to the Internet for the first time; Ma Yun founded Haibo Translation Agency for about two years to prepare for Internet entrepreneurship; Zhang Xiaolong just graduated from Huazhong University of Science and Technology with a master's degree...
In the same year, Wang Xiaobo hung up the name of a code farmer and wrote a novel while engaging in programs. He was well-versed and published The Golden Age. Interested friends can check out this book:
03 A book written with painstaking efforts in the first half of his life
If it comes to which of Wang Xiaobo's books best represents him, it is certainly "Golden Age", he spent a full twenty years, and it is no exaggeration to say that he poured the first half of his life, energy and painstaking efforts into this set of books.
Unfortunately, although "Golden Age" was well received in Taiwan and Hong Kong at that time, won the 13th Lianhe Bao Literary Award, and won NT$250,000, it could not be published in the mainland in time, only because the content involved a lot of sexual depictions, beyond the times, and the scale was beyond the boundary.
Even later, Zhao Jieping, the editor of Huaxia Publishing House, was impressed by Wang Xiaobo's talent and published "The Golden Age", but it was not publicly distributed in bookstores. In desperation, Wang Xiaobo could only push the bicycle with his friends and sell it along the street. More dramatically, on April 11, 1997, Wang Xiaobo died of a heart attack, and soon his book went viral.
It's ironic, why do good works always have to wait until the author is gone before they can catch fire? In front of him is Haizi and Lu Yao, followed by Wang Xiaobo, is this Huai Cai not meeting, the sky has eyes, or is it a heavenly jealous talent?

He was lonely and nameless before he died, but after his death, he became famous by a copy of "Golden Age" and was sought after by the world.
How good is Golden Age? What is the magic of this book, which can make Zhao Jieping take risks and publish it, and also make Feng Tang, Lu Yu, Gao Xiaosong and others see each other and hate late?
Feng Tang said: It is "a miracle" and "a good start".
Birch said it "shot all the previously written novels."
Gao Xiaosong commented, "Wang Xiaobo definitely ranks first among the vernacular writers I have read... He is a God-like being in my heart."
