On the evening of January 25, 1991, when people had fallen asleep and the silence of the past was restored to Huangyuanshang, Chen Zhongzhong marked the last punctuation mark for his 500,000-word family novel "White Deer Plain".
In 1993, Chen Zhongzhong's novel "White Deer Plain", which had been written for 6 years, was confirmed to be published, and the editor asked him: "Do you want royalties or royalties?" At that time, Chen Zhongzhong, who was so poor that he ate steamed buns for six years, did not know what the difference was, and said: "You say you can do it", this stupid sentence actually made him earn 4.55 million. In 1997, "White Deer Plain" won the 4th Mao Dun Literature Award, and in 2006, Chen Zhongzhong jumped to the 13th place in the "Writers Rich List".
Chen Zhongzhong wrote in his essay collection "Live Well": "A person's life is a long series of life experiences... Survive it, earn it, and start an important turn. Start a new glorious journey. Live well, live there is hope. This sentence perfectly explains Chen Zhongzhong's mental journey of writing the novel "White Deer Plain", and also reflects his stubborn character as a northwestern Man.
Chen Zhongzhong engaged in literary creation earlier, but he did not have a reputation, and at this time, Lu Yao, who entered the literary field later than him, has become a well-known figure with his novel "Life", which is both a blow and a spur for Chen Zhongzhong.
As the saying goes: "poor acid literati", from ancient times to the present, it seems that literati are relatively poor and sour, and Chen Zhongzhong is no exception. Due to the long period of literary creation, the family was very poor, and the wife complained about it. At this time, Chen Zhongzhong said to his wife: "Write a novel first, if not, go back to raise chickens", it can be seen that at this time, the stubborn Chen Zhongzhong has broken the boat, and he vowed to write a huge work that can be placed in the coffin as a pillow in the future, so as to be worthy of the literature he has loved all his life.
In order to complete this novel, Chen Zhongzhong spent two or three years consulting historical materials; collecting living materials; studying ethnic issues and new works of psychology and aesthetics; and learning methods of drawing on the structure of other people's long stories. It took 6 years to finally complete this "national secret history".
For Chen Zhongzhong, whether it is the success of wealth or the realization of self-worth, it stems from the stubbornness of the Northwest Hanzi who does not accept defeat, and finally wrote the classic "White Deer Plain" # Chen Zhongzhong # # White Deer Plain # # Novel # #
