I'm a book lover, but I'm not a bibliophile. But there are also a few signed copies in my collection, all of which were obtained by accident and turned over by accident, which was quite interesting.
It is said that the literary master Qian Gurong, a few years before he drove the crane, gave his life's collection of books to his proud disciples Chen Zishan, Chen Sihe, Xu Guoming, and Wu Jun, leaving only some foreign texts and different versions of the "New Language of the World". Master Qian had studied the taoist studies of Lao Zhuang all his life, and he had long been thorough with life, and it was a wise act to scatter his collection of books before his death. Pass on the books you have collected to your proud disciples, so that the study of literature can be passed on from generation to generation, and it is really a book that can make the best use of it. There is a Shanghai antique bookstore on the Kong net, there are many books on the Internet that Mr. Qian has, and if you look closely, most of them are monographs by scholars and critics from all over the world who asked Master Qian Yazheng, and it was Mr. Qian's protégé who was proud to dig up the remaining old things.
In fact, I had some opportunities to sign the master in person. In the autumn of 1989, when I was still studying at the county high school, the essayist Liu Zengshan came to our school to give lectures, signed a lot of books, I saw that there were too many people watching at the signing table, very crowded, so I did not buy a book of prose, took the initiative to withdraw, and then after returning to the dormitory, I saw the scrawled plum blossom seal-like writer signature on the signature book brought back by my classmates, and also joked that it was not like "Liu Zengshan" three words, but like "Liu Bad Xiao", everyone laughed, more than thirty years later, that scene is still in front of you.
I really started to contact some celebrities after I went to graduate school in Kunming. I met with the famous poet Yu Jian several times, and only one group photo was kept, and I did not sign the book. From 2009 to 2010, I successively had the opportunity to meet with literary critics such as Wu Yiqin, Wang Xiaoming, Cai Xiang, Ge Hongbing, Wu Jun, Wang Binbin, etc., but I did not ask for a book to sign, for no reason, just because I firmly believed in Mr. Qian Zhongshu's words: If you eat an egg and think it is good, why should you meet the hen that lays the egg?!
Having talked so much, it's time to get back to the point and talk about a few of the books I've signed by chance. Of course, to state in advance, these books were not given to me by famous people, but by famous people, or by famous people to non-famous people, or just the signature books of famous people.
Chronologically, the first book signed was Li Shidong's "Literary Dream of an Age", which was given by Li Shidong, who was the editor-in-chief of "Youth Literature", to Chen Moumou, a literary critic who was famous at that time (Master Chen is currently a professor in the Department of Chinese of Peking University, a doctoral supervisor, because of his love of postmodernism, the industry jokingly called "Chen Hou Lord"). The book spans the longest time, dating back 17 years. It was 2005, after ten years of work, I had the impulse to go outside to see the big world for the first time, secretly preparing for the first examination in my life, but suffering from living in a remote countryside, I could not find the reference materials for the Chinese modern and contemporary literature major that I longed for, so in addition to going to the Online mail order related reference books, the other was to go to the old bookstore or the old book stall in the township market to go shopping, fortunately, I was working in the educational administrative agency at that time, and I had a lot of time to go to the city for business.
This book came by accident. One day in the autumn of 2005, I went on a business trip to the county town, and after doing business, I went to the used bookstore to buy books as usual, and I accidentally found an inconspicuous old bookstore in Dongguan, the county seat, and walked in, and even exclaimed like Columbus discovered the New World. On the simple shelves of the bookstore, there are a large row of bound copies of the People's Congress's photocopied materials "Studies in Modern and Contemporary Chinese Literature" and "New Literary Historical Materials", on which there are also chapters from academic institutions such as the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the Beijing Institute of Education, as well as a book of English examination questions for master's admissions in the early 1980s, and of course, there is this signed gift book, which reads "Brother So-and-so Points" and the payment is "Shi Dong, February 1, 1994", which is written in soft pen, which is quite powerful. At that time, although I lived in a secluded village, but because I was preparing for the modern and contemporary master's degree, I also knew a little about the current situation of the literary circle at that time, and under calm thinking, this batch of old books should be the old things that Chen Moumou eliminated when he was transferred from the Academy of Social Sciences to the department of Chinese of Peking University, but how these old things fell from the capital to our little-known fourth-tier town is unknown. I was puzzled and asked the owner, who only said that the shop was also given to him by others, and he did not know the source of the book. But regardless of what to say, these books undoubtedly helped me a lot in preparing for the professional exam at that time, and I was overjoyed, so I bought them all and packed a large woven bag. I still remember the scene when I was excitedly carrying a large bag of books to the county station, which attracted some passers-by to stop and watch, probably they were quite amazed at how a well-dressed person could carry a sack on the street like a migrant worker, is this a special performance art?!
The other three sets of signed books are all from Kong.com, and I bought them based on my reading interests. One is the "Treatise on Central Plains Literature", which was given to Xiao Xianmin by He Hong, dean of Henan College of Literature, and the signature is elegant and generous, full of artistic sense. He Hong is a henan literary critic, a double judge of the Mao Award Lu Award, and his reputation is like thunder. But Xiao Xianmin is also a person, Baidu has not seen for a long time that he is a literary person. The main reason I read this book at that time was to understand the current situation of literary criticism in Henan.
Mr. Zhu Donglin is a modern literature researcher, I bought a set of three volumes of his "New Literary Thinking" from Kong Net, the purpose is to learn the methods of literary criticism, for their own criticism writing to open up some ideas, this set of books was given to Zhang Zhengli by Master Zhu. To be fair, Master Zhu's signature is not very good, and the font does not match his status as a master of literature. As for who Zhang Zhengli is, according to my speculation, it should be Mr. Zhu's doctoral student or a literature teacher at a certain university!
For a while, I was quite interested in Zheng Banqiao, not only because he was one of the eight monsters of Yangzhou, and his talent for poetry and painting was excellent, but also because he had done several county orders in Fan County, which was close to my place of residence, leaving many good stories. I have purchased a set of three volumes of "The Complete Works of Zheng Banqiao", "The Biography of Zheng Banqiao" and "The Chronology of Zheng Banqiao" on Kong Net to study. Among them, the "Complete Works of Zhengqiao Bridge" signed with the private collection chapter of the owner of the book "Zhi Zhi Zhai Master Hidden and Read", which is simple and elegant, quite ancient. Baidu Zhizhizhai is a well-known calligrapher and painter who has a book stall in Kong net.
