In 1997, Wang Xiaobo, "China's first sexologist", died mysteriously and suddenly at the age of 45. On day 2, when the body was pushed into the incinerator, the machine suddenly "jammed" and did not move? The relatives and friends present suddenly felt a chill on their backs, what happened? At this time, Xiaobo's former friend Mr. Hu Bei muttered a few words in his ear, and casually put a "thing" on the body, and Wang Xiaobo "obediently" entered the incinerator...
On April 11, 1997, Wang Xiaobo had a heart attack, and it is said that the neighbors heard his two screams that night, but no one went out to check it, and when he was found, he only found that he had broken his head, bitten off the white skin on the wall, and his nails were still stuffed with wall chips!
Later, the forensic doctor reported that Wang Xiaobo died of a heart attack at the age of 45.
His wife, Li Yinhe, did not see the last of him, and she, who was far away in England, heard the bad news and cried.
Wang Xiaobo's funeral did not have a single companion, and it was his former friend Mr. Hu Bei who sent him to be cremated. In order to make Wang Xiaobo go well, Hu Bei also specially brought gifts such as tobacco and alcohol to the operator's uncle.
Unexpectedly, when the body was sent to the incinerator, the machine would jam. The operator uncle checked and found that Wang Xiaobo's arms and legs were stuck in the entrance.
Therefore, the uncle asked Mr. Hu Bei, who was present, to help sort out Wang Xiaobo's body, sort out the body, or out of reluctance to leave his friend, he actually muttered a few words to the body, and also took out a copy of Wang Xiaobo's work "Golden Age" and put it on his chest. Only then did Wang Xiaobo enter the incinerator "with peace of mind."
As a good friend, Mr. Hu Bei knows that wang Xiaobo's most important thing before he died was his wife and his works!
It is reported that in the period before Wang Xiaobo's death, he had been faxing manuscripts to the editorial board of Southern Weekend. However, the process did not go well, and the first time the editor received the fax blank, the second time as well. He Baosheng, head of the editorial department, said: "This thing is too weird. ”
What is even more bizarre is that after Wang Xiaobo's death, Wang Xiaobo's "Golden Age" trilogy was finally published, and the novels that made him run into walls everywhere during his life woke up the Chinese literary scene overnight, like torpedoes.
The staff of the publishing house said: The single snowflake of the book purchase flew like a snowflake, and the "Times Trilogy" landed on the local charts..... The explosion of "Golden Age" made the name Wang Xiaobo quickly popular, and he was called the "Godfather of Sexology", and the honorary medals came one by one, but Wang Xiaobo could never see it again!
Ironically, this "Golden Age" was even more boycotted by all publishing houses when Wang Xiaobo was alive. The reason is simple: the content is too vulgar, and a lot of space is used to describe the "lust of men and women", which is simply incomprehensible!
So, what exactly is written in The Golden Age?
Set against the backdrop of Yunnan's cut-in during the "Great Revolution", the story tells the emotional entanglement between Zhiqing Wang Er and female doctor Chen Qingyang. In the era of human confinement, Wang Xiaobo described the lust between Wang Er and Chen Qingyang in an incomparably brilliant language, and he painted vivid scenes to resist the absurd world of "contempt for love and primitive desire" at that time.
As Wang Xiaobo said in his book: "What people think is the most shameful and the most obscure thing is precisely the least shameful and hidden thing..."
However, it is also because of these "lust" depictions that it was openly renamed "The History of Wang Er's Affair" as soon as it was published, and the cover seemed to be the male protagonist Wang Er and the female protagonist Chen Qingyang being naked and frank...
But as this work becomes more well known, the glittering sentences in the book make people marvel at Wang Xiaobo's literary charm. Lin Jianchu, the deputy editor-in-chief of the publication at that time, believed: "Due to the confinement of sexual concepts, the sexual consciousness of Chinese is extremely unhealthy, and this book is good for cultivating healthy sexual awareness." ”
However, reading "Golden Age" can only be taken in the form of the word addiction
Rong, I have a friend who once couldn't help but read "The Golden Age" over and over again.
Lu Yu said: "I am glad that I only read "The Golden Age" in college, if it was earlier, she might have read Chen Qingyang and "Wang Er's story" as a small book. ”
Liu Yu said: "The spiritual China he represents is very lacking. His weight-heavy narrative style has influenced an entire generation. ”
"Golden Age" has a total of 30,000 words, which is really short and concise. In these 30,000 words, Wang Xiaobo portrays the most primitive desire of people and the ugly side of human nature to the fullest, and expresses one originally heavy topic after another with great black humor, and also seamlessly integrates the confusion of loneliness, the examination of one's own morality and desire, the yearning for beautiful things and the sense of powerlessness that cannot be shaken off in reality.
Although Wang Xiaobo is gone, his "Golden Age" has been passed down forever, which is thankful.
This set of books was selected as the most influential novel in the forty years of reform and opening up. And it was highly praised by the writer Liu Xinwu: "'Golden Age' is not generally good. That's great. ”
Today, Wang Xiaobo's "Times Trilogy", which originally cost 143 yuan, including "Golden Age", "Silver Age" and "Black Iron Age", is now priced at only 98 yuan, and a meal can make you meet this most interesting soul!
