In "Readers", ninety-four-year-old Huang Yongyu greeted Dong Qing sharply, talking and laughing, and the crane hair was strong.
This is the interview opportunity that the program team has been invited three times; this is the first time that "Readers" has left the studio; this is also the first time that Dong Qing has traveled to the hometown where he lived eighty years ago in order to understand a guest.
You're going to be a wild kid
Huang Yongyu was born in Fenghuang County, Hunan Province, where the people are fierce, and women can be seen fighting and shooting bandits everywhere in the streets. Huang Yongyu loves to skip school to see, and everyone calls him "Huang Truant". At the age of 12, he went to Jimei in Fujian Province to attend junior high school, and liked to soak in the school library and read all kinds of idle books. The results of the six homework courses added up to less than 100 points, and the classmates called him "Huang Liu Grade".
In the program, hearing this familiar nickname, Huang Yuyu smiled and said: "Right, right, right, and then they opened a few decades of anniversary, I sent a painting, and Wrote 'A 1937 repeat student.' ”
After repeating the grade five times, the teacher said: "Your face is too familiar, you still go" Huang Yongyu dropped out of school in a dashing manner. He worked as a dock clerk, a porcelain factory coolie, and his favorite was a carpenter, because he was madly obsessed with woodcuts. The carved wood carvings could not fill his stomach, so Huang Yongyu made a shotgun, hunting during the day and working at night, and even ate meat at once.

Someone introduced Huang Yongyu to the army as a secretary, and as long as he copied a few official documents every day, he could get a salary of eight yuan. After Huang Yongyu copied the official documents, he felt dull and boring, and began to create art: first he decorated the word "Tongling" with chic lace, and then he changed the dividing line into an exaggerated puppy. The commander was furious and immediately dismissed Huang Yongyu.
Later, he was introduced to the tax office. Everyone else drank tea and chatted, killing time, but Huang Yongyu was addicted to woodcuts, carving and printing, changing the desks and chairs in the office. His superiors, believing him to be an artistic prodigy, offered him two months' salary and said, "Go ahead, I'm afraid I'll delay your future." ”
There must be love in life,
Live a hearty and enthusiastic life, not step by step.
We have been in love for a hundred thousand years
In Huang Yongyu's own view, his best title is the 75-year-old husband of his first love girlfriend, Miss Zhang Meixi.
At the age of 19, Huang Yongyu wandered to Jiangxi, worked in an art museum, and met a beautiful Guangdong girl Zhang Meixi. The first time I saw her, Huang Yongyu was nervous for half a day and could not speak, and the old half-genius blushed and suppressed a sentence: "I have a hundred pounds of food stamps, do you want it?" ”
A young officer was also pursuing Zhang Meixi, knowing that she loved to ride horses, and each time he led a horse to invite her out. Huang Yongyu thought to himself: This is trouble, he doesn't even have a bicycle! He thought about it and remembered that his father had played the organ for his mother, so he carried a small brass trumpet and blew it against Zhang Meixi every day, and it didn't blow very well. Who thought that the goddess's heart was blown like this, Huang Yongyu stupidly ran to ask Zhang Meixi: "If there is a person who loves you, what do you do?" Zhang Meixi said, "It depends on who it is." Huang Yongyu hurriedly said, "That's me." Zhang Meixi smiled and nodded, "Okay." ”
At that time, Huang Yongyu really wanted nothing, playing woodcuts from morning to night. One day, he took a fancy to a pear plank, but he only had 8 cents in his pocket, which was kept to cut his hair. He was still a little embarrassed to have his face dirty in front of his beloved girl, but he really didn't want the plank. Zhang Meixi saw his thoughts and said happily, "You go get a haircut, and I'll send you a plank." Huang Yongyu went to the barber shop, and when she cut her hair, she still had a pear plank in her heart: What if she doesn't send it? That's terrible.
Huang Yongyu and his wife Zhang Meixi
This relationship was opposed by Zhang Meixi's parents, "My precious daughter, how can I marry a tramp?" "They locked Zhang Meixi in their home and forbade the two to meet. Frustrated, Huang Yongyu went to Ganzhou alone. One day, he suddenly received a call from Zhang Meixi: I ran out of the house! Huang Yongyu immediately jumped up, borrowed a bicycle from his friend, and hurried to the station. Riding until dark, he found a chicken feather shop on the side of the road and turned around excitedly all night. Early the next morning, Huang Yongyu couldn't wait to get on the road, and when she saw Zhang Meixi, she laughed so hard that she almost burst into tears: he was covered with chicken feathers.
On the fiftieth anniversary of marriage, Huang Yongyu also specially bought a small copper trumpet, put on dentures, and proudly asked Zhang Meixi: "What do you want to hear?" ”

There are thousands of kinds in the world, and the floating clouds cannot be asked for.
If the Scythians are rainbows, they know that there is a party.
Lost love counts as a fart!
In 1948, Huang Yongyu and Zhang Meixi arrived in Hong Kong, and he still immersed himself in art and made friends such as Jin Yong. Once, Huang Yongyu asked Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng to eat, and after eating seven seven eight eight, it was time to pay the bill, and the six eyes were facing each other: "Who brought the money?" "I didn't bring it!" "I didn't bring it!" Seeing that he was about to be beaten, Huang Yongyu quickly dipped his finger in some soy sauce and painted the pet fish raised in the store. Jin Yong also made a phone call and asked the editor of the nearby "Sing Tao Daily" to pay for the change of paintings, and the three of them patted their butts and laughed out of the house.
Huang Xia had just broken up with his girlfriend at that time, and he failed to invest in movies, and he was in debt, and many people did not dare to pay attention to him. Huang Yongyu went to see him with wine, "Lost love is a fart, you must understand the poetry after the loss of love!" Huang Xia immediately scolded back: "You just let go of the shit, the lost love will be hanged, can there be poetry?" Although he scolded, he understood this different kind of comfort, and many years later, he did not forget to sigh: "The whole of Hong Kong wants me to die!" Only he came to comfort me. ”
In 1983, Huang Yongyu wrote a letter to the great playwright Cao Yu: "I don't like your post-liberation plays, and I don't like any of them. He criticized the other party mercilessly, and his heart was not on the play. Cao Yu kept the letter.

Huang Yongyu loves to keep dogs, and there are several in the family, and every year he has to take turns to elect a leader. He said: "The dog is much simpler, the dog really thinks of you every day, people don't know." When he was a child, there was a dirt dog in the family, and every time he went out to fight with others, Huang Yongyu always had to run out to help, and he himself said that he "protected the short".
In the summer of 2004, villagers in Fenghuang told 80-year-old Huang Yongyu that someone had opened a chemical factory in the upper reaches of the Tuojiang River, and the water was polluted. Huang Yongyu listened and crossed his waist: "Lao Tzu took a few people to 'engage' them." "He actually smashed the office of the chemical plant." He said that loving nature should be as conscious as paying attention to hygiene.
Life is not easy,
But a heart still has to shine.
Life is very fun
In 1968, when black paintings were popular in Beijing, Huang Yongyu just returned from sketching in Chongqing and heard that "someone painted an owl, and something big happened." He spat disapprovingly at his friend: "What's so great about drawing an owl?" I've also painted it. "As a result, he went to the black painting exhibition to see, and the owl he painted hung in the middle, and he was the number one critic.
Huang Yongyu's owl
Soon, Huang Yongyu was locked up in a cowshed. The rebels took the belt and smoked him one by one, and he did not cry out in pain all the time. Back home, Huang Yongyu also smiled at Zhang Meixi: "Today I was hit 224 times. The wife saw that Huang Yongyu was beaten to a blur of flesh and blood, and the white shirt and flesh stuck together and could not be taken off, crying to death: Huang Yongyu quickly stopped her tears with kisses, and also wrote a love poem "Wife! "I kiss you, kiss your weak but cracked hand, kiss your quiet and brave heart, kiss your eternal beauty." He said indifferently, "The world will never be like this!" Every time he came back from a street tour, he could still describe the scenery of Beijing's streets with others.
The family lived in a small, dimly lit house, and Zhang Meixi's health was getting worse and worse. In order to make her happy, Huang Yongyu painted a large window more than two meters wide on the wall, and the wildflowers outside the window were blooming and the sun was shining. Everyone reprimanded Huang Yongyu: Don't be happy all day, this year should be heavy. Huang Yongyu replied: Since you say that I am not heavy, then I will pretend to be heavy. He found a medical book and wrote himself about heart disease, stomach ulcers, cirrhosis of the liver... He wrote about more than a hundred kinds of diseases, and the people who criticized him were happy when they saw it: "Stinky old nine, your illness is also a little more." ”
Later, Huang Yongyu was sent to the cadre school, and after a dull labor life, he went to catch the cockroaches and dig a pit to watch the clams fight. There was a copy of "Ci Hai" on the farm, and he read the "Ci Hai" over and over again.
All the bitterness that has been eaten,
It will eventually boil out sweet, and it will eventually illuminate the road ahead.
I'm not an old man
The first time I saw Huang Yongyu, Dong Qing laughed and quipped: "The old man who is older than me has finally appeared." "Huang Yongyu once wrote "The Old Man Who Is Older Than Me", but he himself does not recognize the old age.
Huang Yongyu, who is over ninety years old, also likes red clothes and often holds a pipe in his hand. Curious, people came to him to ask him the secret of health, and he said: I never take care of health! Like to sleep, do not eat fruit, do not exercise... My favorite thing to do is to watch the series in front of the TV and watch "Do Not Disturb" on the weekends.
Bai Yansong once visited Huang Yongyu, who was smoking a pipe and wearing a beret and was feeding his beloved red Ferrari sports car. Bai Yansong was surprised and asked, "Old master, are you still playing this when you are old?" Huang Yongyu replied with a big white eye, "I'm not an old man!" ”
When Huang Yongyu was hospitalized due to illness, Bai Yansong went to see him deliberately, wondering how to comfort the old man. As a result, when Huang Yongyu saw him, he smiled and said: "Hospitalization surgery is really good, you see, I lost dozens of pounds at once!" ”
This made Bai Yansong can't help but be awe-inspired. The old man once went to the northeast to raise pigs in the golden years, he never complained, but proudly showed off with Bai Yansong: "I raise that pig, special fat!" ”
Don't worry about the coming of old age,
When you're old, you can be cute too.
You are all too serious, I have to be old and unorthodox
In 2006, Huang Yongyu donated his paintings and collections to Jishou University in Hunan Province. On the day of the donation ceremony, everyone asked Huang Yongyu to give a speech. Huang Yongyu said, "You don't have to worry, I've already told my family." Once my descendants really can't eat and are so hungry that they have to beg for food, they should also stay away from Jishou University, so as not to affect you. ”
Huang Yongyu said many times: All kinds of things in my collection, regardless of their value, will be donated before I leave. He doesn't care about money, fame and fortune at all. The National Museum once held an exhibition of Huang Yongyu's personal works, and everyone called him Master Huang, but he was not at all happy, pulled his face and said, "What master am I?" Nowadays, it is really a professor walking all over the street, and there are as many masters as dogs! ”
His students wanted to do a "Huang Yongyu painting school", and Huang Yongyu scolded: "I don't want to form a party in groups, the wolves need to form a party, and the lions don't use it." ”
Living to the age of 95, Huang Yongyu himself has long been looked down upon. He lived a long life, Shen Congwen, Wang Zengqi, Jin Yong... How many people walked ahead of him. Huang Yongyu began to be naughty, wanting to hold a memorial service before he died, find a recliner to lie in the middle, "While I am not dead, listen to what everyone praises me." ”
He even thought of several plans for his ashes, and discussed them with his wife. "It is better to pour my ashes into the toilet and ask an old gentleman to flush the water." Wife: "This will block the toilet, refuse." "Otherwise, divide them into small bags, give them to the guests at the memorial service, and take them back to plant flowers." Wife: "You just want to be scary in the middle of the night." "Then it would be better to wrap my ashes into dumplings for everyone to eat, and finally announce that you are eating Huang Yongyu's ashes!" Wife: "? ”
All the impropriety is actually a kind of affection,
Live with love in the world of thin affection.
When you are old, you will do Huang Yongyu
When he was in his 80s, Huang Yongyu was on the cover of the fashion magazine "Mr. Fashion", smoking a pipe, cocking Erlang's legs, and a beautiful boy. After filming home, Huang Yongyu showed off with his wife, "How, pretty boy, wow, I, so good-looking 8." Mrs. Huang: "Stinky beauty." I want to hear you blow the trumpet. "Okay, which song do you want to hear?"
Gao Xiaosong once said: "When a person lives, it is difficult to do it at the same time to be interesting and meaningful, if you want to live meaningfully every day, then you must sacrifice a little fun." ”
Maybe it is difficult for us to live as a second Huang Yongyu, but for the rest of our lives, we can try to be wild children, to ourselves, to our friends, to our lovers, to life, a little more wanton, less concerned, and an interesting person.
