"Xueyuan, you and peace brother are good port yo, the article sent one after another, it is really 'tender bamboo shoots cover a thousand years of bamboo', amazing! Amazing! I also came up with a book this year, the title of which is "Traces of Time", how about it? Can you write me an article too, I said hello to the 'Eight Immortals' of that year. You don't know, especially your brother, before he died, he wrote me an article "Drifting Away", and now the article is there, but the person is gone, pinch your fingers and be silent, and immediately go for two years, alas..."
Portrait of Zheng Guangfu (by Wen Yue)
The person who called was Zheng Guangfu, the eldest brother in our "Eight Immortals", and the noble brother mentioned in the phone was Li Guiping. The so-called "Eight Immortals" was in September 2015, at the Eight Immortals table in a bag of Luojia Courtyard on Junlong Street in Chengdu, when eight like-minded men gathered in an antique elegant room and raised a glass of three glasses to brothers. In "Eight Immortals", Because Guangfu is called the eldest brother, the new writer Li Guiping, the order is three; my order is seven. The table that night happened to be a neat and atmospheric eight immortals table, surrounded by eight people, and several brothers called "eight immortals".
"People are all in their own right, and this is not yesterday. The plum blossom letter can not be solved, and the clear light is unique. Wandering, hate like wine, drunk who says? After 7 years, Li Guiping, the old third in the "Eight Immortals", died on August 13, 2020 at the age of 59 due to a sudden myocardial infarction in Qinghai. The remaining 7 brothers, each busy, gathering less and leaving more, their love and righteousness, once seemed to be gradually drifting away, but fortunately, there is Guangfu matchmaking, constantly inviting, wine is not less, banquet is not less swinging, from which to coordinate mediation, there is today's harmonious situation...
When I was fortunate to know Mr. Guangfu, I was just a small editor, but he was already a "big guy" level figure in Chengdu's literary and news circles, and compared with him, I was a "little radish head". In front of my respected predecessors, what I have is admiration and worship. In today's parlance, he's my idol and I'm a fan of his. Don't believe it, but Baidu, the information that pops out is as follows:
Zheng Guangfu, born in November 1950, Chengdu, Sichuan, Han ethnicity, university culture. He has worked as a returnee, a face shop worker, a teacher, a librarian, a cadre, a journalist, etc., and has been awarded the title of chief journalist. He is the author of "Chuanxi Style", "Bashu Liuyun", "Thirty Years of News Gathering and Writing" and other monographs. In 2006, he retired early to support the major reform of the bureau and station, and was a retired cadre at the deputy bureau level of the Chengdu Radio, Television and Press and Publication Bureau. After retirement, he likes to write poetry and prose, and has been published in newspapers and periodicals such as "Western Observation", "Jinxi Culture", and "Sunset Newspaper".
In the past two years, "Nostalgia in Daba Mountain" and "May 9" Love Song" created in the past two years won the silver medal for lyrics in the "Music" China - 2011 National Large-scale Music Exhibition and Selection "Activity", won the Gold Award for Lyrics in the "2012 Music China Cup" Competition, and more than 50 news works won various awards at all levels. He is currently a member of the Chinese Music and Literature Society, a member of the Sichuan Prose Literature Society, a director of the Sichuan Literary and Art Communication Promotion Association, the vice president of the Chengdu Radio and Television Society, and the secretary general of the Chengdu Old Journalists Association.
Mr. Guangfu's first impression in my brain hard drive is: Maitreya Buddha's face, bodhisattva heart, in layman's terms, is "Buddha-faced bodhisattva heart" - whenever you see him, he is a Maitreya Buddha-like kind smile, no matter who you talk to, no matter what occasion. His classic quote is "three points": "Eat some play and write some"; his classic mantra is: "Blow everyone blows"; his classic encouragement is: Good articles are written with feet.
And this kind of classic smile that is exclusive to the unique big brother comes from the depths of his soul: whether it is for the official or for the text, he is always a simple and generous person, a person who knows grace and remembers affection, and a person who does good deeds and helps. This kind of disposition is the source of his happiness and health.
I remember once, Mr. Guangfu, Mr. Guiping and I were drinking tea in a tea house by the riverside of Binjiang Road in Dongmen Bridge. In the midst of small talk, a plainly dressed woman of about 20 years old came carrying a pocket, and she went from table to table to sell what products, but she was either politely rejected or rudely expelled. The woman came to our table with a frustrated face and asked timidly: "Handsome man, buy a leather shoe polish, it is very easy to use, rub it once, manage it for half a month, polished and polished, can shine the shadow of people..."
Brother Guiping just wanted to tell the woman to leave, but he didn't want Guangfu to take over the conversation and asked softly, "Listening to your accent, is it the Zigong side?" How much is your leather shoe polish for? ”
"Well, I'm from Gongrong County." 66 pieces of leather shoe polish. As soon as the woman heard that there was business, she quickly replied.
"What oil, shout so expensive!" I buy a leather shoe polish, a few bucks, not the same wipe! Brother Guiping frowned.
"Handsome man, oil is not the same as oil, otherwise, I will wipe it down for you to try!" With that, the woman squatted down, took out the shoe shine tool from her pocket, squeezed out the shoe polish, and hugged Guangfu's foot to perform the demonstration on the spot.
Guangfu's feet flashed, and he smiled and said, "You rub PingGe, who pays the most attention to face and image." ”
So, the woman held the leather shoes on Guiping Brother's feet and wiped them up...
The shoes were polished, and Brother Guiping looked at the polished leather shoes and a sweaty woman, blushing, and softening his tone. "It's a good rub, so buy one for 30 yuan, right?" Saying that, he took the small bag from the back of the chair and pulled the zipper open with a "whoosh" sound, ready to pay for it.
"Beauty, this is two hundred, come 3!" Say it's late, it's fast. Guangfu grabbed Guiping's hand with his left hand, and with his right hand handed 2 new hundred tickets to the woman.
The woman was stunned, and then said in a continuous voice: "Thank you, I will find you 2 pieces immediately." ”
Guangfu replied, "Beauty, you don't have to look for 2 yuan, just accept it." ”
After the woman left, Brother Guiping asked Guangfu why he wanted 3 sticks, he couldn't draw it, you know, even if it was 30 yuan a piece, she still earned it!
Guangfu smiled and said movingly, "Brother Ping, you are right, this shoe polish is expensive to buy." However, you didn't see this baby girl dressed so badly, and she was out of town, maybe she graduated from school and earned a few dollars, it's not easy! Relative to them, we are better in the end, cocking our feet to drink tea is a person, bending over to wait for someone to shine shoes is also a person, we can help a little help! Want 3 sticks, we two brothers, one for each person, count the big brother please! ”
Mr. Guangfu's words are still remembered to this day, and they are still heart-warming.
I know that Mr. Guangfu is also from a bitter background, which is reflected in his works such as "Three Red Amaranth" and "I Grew Up Under the Sunshine of the Party". All along, I have particularly admired people like Mr. Guangfu, who swung their knives at each other when they were caught off guard, but they could be like geckos with broken tails, and after the pain, they quickly went on the road. As the saying goes: look forward, don't look back, as long as you have the courage to face it, look up and find that the haze at this moment is just a short rainy season.
I also know that Mr. Guangfu was once demoralized in the early 1990s and did not get promoted for many years. But he was not depressed, no matter the good times and adversities, he always calmly said: "No matter where you dump me, I write all the way anyway, the officials are big and the officials are small, count them as a gangster!" This attitude towards life added three points to my admiration for him, and even if I encountered such a big change, I could still accept the fate arrangement calmly. He smiled and said, man, always have to look forward, as long as you are not discouraged, you can always find a way out. He often likened himself to a weed in the wilderness, growing wildly. But in my opinion, he is more like a moon, even if the dream is cut off, he has never given up the fragrance.
I know even more that Mr. Guangfu is determined not to relax on the green mountain, and the root is in the broken rock." The spirit of bamboo and stone of Ren'er's east, west, south, and north winds has embarked on a leadership position at the department level and retired with the treatment of a deputy department. His life experience truly fulfilled such a truth: the real strong person is not a person who does not shed tears, but a person who runs with tears. Life is in a gully, when you are in a low valley, do not complain, do not give up, can move forward sonorously, then the rest of your life will be an upward road.
Because, along the way, you and I will eventually understand that the most regrettable thing in life is not who abandoned, but self-abandonment. The sunflowers in the dark night, as long as they do not give up hope, can always usher in the sun of the next day; you and I in the crowd, as long as we do not lose our expectations, will always meet more fascinating scenery, more correct people.
People, only by saying goodbye to the gray-headed past, can they usher in that sparkling self. The flowers bloom from the sun, and the people must go forward. For the rest of your life, may you and I have the courage to shake off the past and have more courage to move forward fearlessly.
"Ask the canal to be as clear as promised, for there is a source of living water." It is precisely because Mr. Guangfu has such a cultivation behavior that he is destined to be "blessed" for a lifetime - bright and upright, happy and happy! Today, he has retired for many years, but he is still "full of customers in the seat, and the wine in the cup is not empty", and his popularity is surprisingly good. Every time he attended a literary event with him, in the venue, in the classroom, at the wine table, the eldest brother would always be asked to take a group photo and sign an autograph by the literary friends who flocked to him. And every time he encounters such a fanatical "star chaser", Mr. Guangfu's face will show his classic smile to meet the requirements of the literary friends: sign their names and take photos with them.
My favorite thing is to see the photo of Mr. Guangfu surrounded by literary friends in the middle: a brilliant smiley face holding a big smiley face like a kind Maitreya Buddha in the middle, just like a blooming moon flower holding a large peony flower in the middle, the picture is full of joy and vitality, full of joy and happiness! I believe that at this time, Mr. Guangfu has a heart as young, healthy and cheerful as his literary friends!

Whenever this happens, I will respectfully stand quietly and quietly, admiring the most innocent and innocent picture of the happiness of the heart-to-heart interaction and the fusion of love and affection in the world. I can't help but think that when A human being has reached such a state, he is a superior person. I must spend my whole life, learn from it, even if I can't reach it, I can only look at his back forever, and I yearn for it and follow it for life...
