Some people are dead, he is still alive. - Zang Kejia

Some people die, but their bodies are decayed and return to nature, but their thoughts, consciousnesses and souls have profoundly affected future generations and truly achieved immortality.
For example, Wang Xiaobo, who aspires to become a maverick "pig". Most people in China know Wang Xiaobo probably because of the love letters he wrote to his wife. In "Love You Like Loving Life," he confessed his love for Li Yinhe, but the talented writer died of a heart attack at the age of 45.
He died of a sudden illness and died a miserable death
In the early morning of April 11, 1997, Wang Xiaobo died in his cottage.
According to neighbors' recollections, they heard several screams in the middle of the night, but did not go out to check, and then the people at the police station broke through the door and saw only blood on the wall and deep scratches. And Wang Xiaobo's mouth has a lot of wall ash.
One can imagine how much pain he endured before he died. After the autopsy concluded that the cause of death was a heart attack, Wang Xiaobo's second sister knew that after very sad, in fact, not long before this, the sisters and brothers also lived together for more than half a month, nothing to talk about, in the blink of an eye, the sky was separated, and before death was so painful, thinking that the neighbor heard the sound but no one sent him to the hospital, it was even more sad.
The deceased is gone, the living are like Si, and the reluctance and thoughts between relatives will make people feel more philosophy of life. It has been said that a person experiences three "deaths":
The first is the death of the flesh, which announces the disappearance of individual consciousness, is the physiological decay, into inorganic things into nature; the second is the funeral, which means that in the circle of friends and relatives, the relationship between the individual is broken, they will remove the person from the future and construct a new future;
The third time is the disappearance of the last person who still remembers him, no one in this world will think of him again, this individual is as if he did not come into this world, and everything about him, whether material or spiritual, has since vanished and ceased to exist.
The arduous literary road
In 1952, in the context of the family being classified as a "class dissident", Song Hua named her newborn child "Xiaobo", which means "big wave and small wave", hoping that his life would be safe and sound, there would be no big winds and waves, but unfortunately the child's life was not as safe and smooth as his mother expected.
Wang Xiaobo ranks fourth among the five children in the family, the boy ranks second, and readers who have seen Wang Xiaobo's works know that there is always a protagonist named "Wang Er", perhaps these "Wang Er" stories are based on Wang Xiaobo himself.
He is a freelance creator who only writes what he thinks and does what he wants to do. He transcended the mainstream as a non-mainstream, speaking up for the silent majority.
At that time, he used bold words, even if he wrote such a beautiful description of the light, "a large ball of dandelions floating on the river of the street, swallowing the soft needle-like light", it was not a smooth road on the road to publication.
Wang Xiaobo's novels have been written one after another, but no publishing house is willing to publish them. Until his peak work "Golden Age" was published in Hong Kong, but the name was changed to "The History of Wang Er's Wind and Currents", which showed the prejudice against its content.
In 1994, the appearance of Zhao Jieping enabled the "Golden Age" to be distributed in the mainland, but it also sold dismal because it was secretly published without formal channels.
However, a month after Wang Xiaobo's death, his trilogy was officially published and sold considerablely, which is really as ironic as Wang Xiaobo's text.
An interesting person
Wang Xiaobo lived in absurdity all his life. He was born with stunted growth, severe calcium deficiency and rickets, forming a barrel waist; when he was a child, he looked stupid and silly, and was called "silly wave" by his family.
In his youth, he went to Yunnan and Shandong to join the team, and malaria, acute hepatitis and other diseases sprang up one after another, and problems with the waist also appeared one after another.
Later, he also resigned from his position as a lecturer at the National People's Congress to concentrate on writing, but it became common for him to be rejected, and the published works sold dismal. In this tragic life, Wang Xiaobo has lived out a kind of "alternative humor." "
He said: "He has very low requirements for himself, and living in this world is nothing more than trying to understand some truths and encounter some interesting things." If I can do what I want, my life will be successful. "
His amusement is not the innocence and happiness of the unworldly, but the optimism and open-mindedness after suffering, laughing at the clouds in the sky. When friends are discouraged and even feel unsustainable, it is necessary to read Wang Xiaobo's article.
For whatever predicament he faced at this time was within his experience, was there a worse time than in his youth?
It may be that he has experienced too many right and wrong, and he believes that there are far more people in life who like boring than people who like fun. In this world mixed with a small amount of fun, he wants to fight the boring with fun and create a different beauty.
A wandering skeleton, not willing to be mediocre
Not silent, not obedient, not doing the majority.
Wang Xiaobo has an instinctive resistance to a life that follows the rules. Just like he longed for the life of that pig—the one he knew when he went to the countryside in Yunnan.
Although it is a meat pig, dark and thin, it does not like the pigsty, likes to wander around, and even imitates the sound of cars and tractors.
Later, because he imitated the horn sound of the workers finishing work, he was "accused" of saboteurs. But even so, this maverick pig escaped arrest, became a wild boar, and gained his own freedom.
He also described a group of green-haired water monsters. They wander freely between heaven and earth, like a carp hitting three thousand miles, far away from the world, breaking the barriers between rules and geography, looking at all things as if they were looking at the kingdom of villains, defying everything and doing whatever they want.
This is the world that Wang Xiaobo yearns for—free, uninhibited, wise, beautiful, and funny. As he said in "The Golden Age": I can't choose how to live and how to die, but I can choose how to love and how to live. This is the freedom I want, my golden age.
Although the romantic troubadour is gone, his soul is immortal and his thoughts are eternal. The wisdom contained in his words has guided many young people forward across the times, and the liberal spirit will be immortalized.
