Mr. Huang has said many times: "When I say goodbye to the world one day, I will say two satisfactions: First, there are many good-hearted friends. Second, I am a hard worker. ”
In 2022-2023, Mr. Huang has written a number of articles reminiscing about old friends, which are collected as "Who Else", which will be listed by Writers Press within a week.

In the 2021 compilation of poems, "Seeing Laughter", there is a poem "If I Live to Be 100 Years Old": "One day will come, / Like a trip, / I will carry a small bag, / Put an unopened rose in my chest pocket, / Like a veteran of a long voyage, / Do not alarm others, / Gently bring the long-lived / home door with the backhand." ”
We bid farewell to Mr. Huang. Thank you for the love He gives us.
Huang Yongyu: Let this memory soothe all my sorrows
Text/Zhang Wei
When I wrote this book review, I was looking forward to going to Beijing next year, 2024, when Mr. Huang Yongyu was 100 years old at the exhibition, but after writing the book review, the news of Mr. Huang Yongyu's departure came. Thinking of this passage in the preface to his essay collection "Who Else": "After the book comes out, I will open an exhibition when I am 100 years old, and I will be busy with at least three or four paintings." Probably, there will probably be no time to write articles anymore. Now there is still more than a year before the hundredth birthday, today is the fifteenth day of the first month, and by the ninth day of the first month of July it can reach ninety-nine, and then gradually approaching the age of a hundred years old climbing down day by day; So there is still time for me to finish three or four drawings. In case you don't live to that moment and can't see your own art exhibition, of course, it's a pity, that's what God meant, and no one can help. "The pain in my heart is beyond words. It's just Mr. Huang's insight, calmness, calmness, and calmness that can comfort all sentient beings! He has seen life and death so clearly, so let's read the swan song of his life.
Huang Yongyu's new collection of essays, "Who Else, Who" is already in print, and Writers Press expects to be available within a week.
Mr. Huang Yongyu and his new book "Who Else" (forthcoming)
At first, when I saw the title, I couldn't help but laugh: this old man is so funny, only he can think of such a title! After reading the whole book, he could no longer laugh, and Huang Yongyu's deep and broad sadness seemed to be condensed in a book, revealing to the world the vicissitudes of a hundred years of life, an image of a person's destiny, and an emotional warmth and loneliness.
Earlier, Huang Yongyu published a collection of essays "Old Man Older Than Me", recalling mentors and friends in the literary and artistic circles who had an important impact on his life, in the preface to "Who Else", Huang Yongyu said that "there are more than a dozen articles written at hand, the nature is like "Old Man Older Than Me", so the collection "Who Else Who Who" ,—— a bit of jokes, is the usual humor of the old gentleman, but also a little inexplicable, revealing the complicated situation of the state of mind.
From the content point of view, "Who Else" should be said to be a sequel or supplement to "The Old Man Older Than Me", and the two books constitute a complete history of contemporary personal memory.
Mr. Huang Yongyu and his new book "Who Else" (forthcoming)
A book that chronicles the fate of many individuals, reflecting the backdrop of an era. An old man who is nearly 100 years old, when looking back at his life journey, sees that everyone who is related to his life has disappeared into the dust, and there may be boundless desolation and loneliness in his heart, right? I saw him write: "I went back to Hong Kong to live for a few years, and after I returned to Beijing, these gentlemen were gone." "In a few years, Ji Yuan passed away, and after some time, Lao Pan died, Wang Zengqi, Miao Zi, Yu Feng, Ding Cong, Shen Jun died, and Xu Linlu died. Meixi also passed away. ”...... Huang Yongyu's life is connected to their past, and those familiar old friends once soothed and warmed his life, and now the memories are so painful.
In "Old Man Older Than Me", Huang Yongyu wrote "These Melancholy Debris" by his cousin Shen Congwen, this title can be used to refer to the tone of "Who Else", "Melancholy Crumbs" constitutes the core content of "Who Who Else", and also constitutes the real and subtle historical folds presented by different characters, their sorrows, honors and disgraces, rise and fall, life and death, haste and calm, weakness and bravery, betrayal and promise... Those teachers and friends who intersected with his life have long become part of his life in time, they are his light and shadow, his background, the map of his travels, and his spiritual texture, and he has written a book of life with them.
"Who Else" except for "Sports and the Relationship between Men and Women" and "Dream Side" are reflections on some current social issues, and the other articles are memories of the deceased. "Only This Family Wang Shixiang" is written and intersects with the encounter and intersection of Wang Shixiang, a cultural relics collector and connoisseur, and "A Little Insight of Luck" records Zhang Xueliang's younger brother Zhang Xueming's bold and frankness, "How does a light boat cross ten thousand heavy mountains?" ——Remembering My Friend Wang Xun and Chang Renxia" writes about the complexity and multifaceted nature of human nature, "Lonely Dream and Clear Fragrance - Unforgettable Mr. Xu Xingzhi" highlights the ethics of the director of the Republic of China Xu Xingzhi, "Let This Memory Soothe All My Sorrows" lovingly writes about the 60-year relationship between the Huang family and Hong Kong's "Ta Kung Pao" Pan Jikun and Zou Ji Yuan, "Mr. Cheng Zhenduo" shows the scholarly style of respecting facts, "The Story Almost Forgot" sees an equal and generous Chiang Ching-kuo, "Late Tears" The literary scholar Xiao Qian and his son Xiao Tiezhu surfaced, and their compassion and nostalgia for the little people made "Has Your Aunt Laughed?" 》Destroy the liver and cut the intestines...

In the long river of Huang Yongyu's memory, the turbulent years of history and the ups and downs of personal destiny experienced with the deceased are the woodblock prints he carved one by one, these words are calm and sharp, calm and ups and downs, humorous and sad. The sadness of a centenarian is afraid that time will not move, when he writes, how lonely it should be! The heavens and the earth were yellow, the four wilds were bright, and only the rest was alone but weeping.
Huang Yongyu is experiencing the greatest separation in life, those who form the longitude of his life, their disappearance is like a lamp extinguished, he can only sing softly between words about the brilliance of life. Huang Yongyu's relaxed and soft heart bears irreparable human wounds, but he still restores those broken and warm memories with stoic perseverance and broad compassion, so that history refuses to forget and makes people shine brightly.
Huang Yongyu's wisdom created by his extraordinary life experience over a hundred years rivals that of Kuanda, and he draws us into history by depicting human nature, seeing how the waves of history turn on people's destiny and also make human nature present a multi-sided mirror. Huang Yongyu capitalizes the truth, goodness and beauty of human nature, recording the ethics and persistence of life when in an involuntary life dilemma, the light and strength of human nature; He will also walk through the tunnel of dark human nature, writing his pity and interrogation, the absurdity and barbarism of history.
"Who else is who" with pictures
Cartoonist Huang Miaozi returned from the anti-rightist movement, heard that Huang Yongyu wanted to re-engrave a set of elaborate "Water Margin" characters, and immediately took out his note card about the Song Dynasty for Huang Yongyu's reference, and also helped Huang Yongyu read books and check information, but Huang Yongyu faced the darkest moment, and his enthusiasm came to naught: what a cruel and painful picture, Huang Yongyu at that time was like a knife in his chest! When Huang Miaozi returned, he was "in rags", but he conveyed the friendship and warmth of righteousness in the world with the generosity of sending charcoal in the snow, and this supreme goodness of human nature was enough to support Huang Yongyu's pain and make him proud again:
When Xu Xingzhi, director of the movie "Children of Fengyun", was discussing the "white flag" of the red and white special at the Academy of Fine Arts, he "stood up without a sound and went home." made a stunned seat"; He also defended art when criticizing "Impressionism" and emphasized the aesthetics of Impressionism. The conscience of people who hold on to in the midst of suffering and the bones of intellectuals leapt on paper. Huang Yongyu, who was killed because of his drawing owls, had to accept the criticism of twenty or thirty philistines of the Academy of Fine Arts every day, and he did not have the strength to eat when he went home at night, but he had to write the "inspection" handed in the next day, and his friend Pan Jiyan wrote it for him every night, and Huang Yongyu copied it himself early the next morning. Years later, Huang Yongyu is still heartbroken: this is a picture of a troubled world, a woodcut engraved on the ground, which makes people cry when reading.
Taste Huang Yongyu's words: the heart is sad, the heaven and the earth are moved, what kind of stubborn struggle of life is this? What is the indestructible faith in life? How to still flicker the light of humanity in desperate situations?
"Who else is who"
Huang Yongyu/author
Published by Writer Publishing House June 2023
One of my favorites is "Did Your Aunt Laugh?" ", describes the aunt Cao Yuru who works in Huang Yongyu's house, an ordinary low-level laborer, her husband died in a fierce battle with the Japanese devil, and the twin sons were thrown into the river by the devil, came to Huang Yongyu's house to do things and live for many years, simple and sincere, honest and kind, sincerely like the two children of the Huang family, there is the wisdom of life who has experienced great hardships, and the calmness that has waded through the rapids of life, but there is only one thing she can't force herself: the guests have not seen her smile. Her smile only blooms when she is with her children. This woman is so rich and so simple, rich from suffering, simple from pure wisdom, literary scholar Nie Qianbi sighed: What kind of stormy waves did she have in her heart sitting by the Chaobai River? What kind of thrilling and fierce battles have you experienced? Huang Yongyu's text has always been straightforward and concise, not a big arrangement, nor strong rendering, but the undercurrent behind the text is surging, leaving white space to give people infinite imagination: she will implant the truth of being a person when telling stories to children, will know where to bring back the child when the child is angry, and will stand up without fear of risk when the Huang family is in difficulty, Mrs. Huang Meixi called her the "gyroscope" of the family, "playing a stable role on the ship", Huang Yongyu said: she has clear grievances and grievances, abides by morality, and the Huang family gives her full respect and love, She became a member of the Huang family, relying on each other and supporting each other, and when she was sick, the Huang family tried to treat her, and then married and had children from the Huang family. This woman named Cao Yuru has an ordinary life, but she shines with the highlights of human nature, and the great sufferings of life are turned into the spring of life, nourishing those in need, and her existence is the existence of human light, the initial and final shelter of human nature.
Aunt Cao went back to her mother's house at that time, and after returning home, she sat alone by the Chaobai River for three days
Where there is light, there is shadow, and Huang Yongyu also writes about human weakness, the unbearable and dark nature in special circumstances. "How does the light boat cross the Ten Thousand Heavy Mountains?" ——Remembering his friend Wang Xun and Chang Renxia", the art historian Wang Xun's academic opinions, academic accomplishment and academic achievements are meticulous, and he has a chivalrous behavior of caring for the widowd Shen Congwen, and the two still argue together about the issue of traditional Chinese art, which is a rare friend of Shen Congwen in his dilemma, and an old friend who often goes to the Huang family to eat and talk about calligraphy and painting about life. However, during the Cultural Revolution, Wang Xun demolished the window that Huang Yongyu painted for him when he was married and the lampshade fan that the Huang family's children painted for him and handed them over to the organization, and exposed Huang Yongyu, Shen Congwen, and the permanent heroes who were in the same room when they were collectively "studying". Huang Yongyu didn't understand, he tried to understand Wang Xun, wondering if he had not experienced a brutal political movement, would he have more understanding and compassion for others. Huang Yongyu knew that fear broke a person's will in this way: he told his wife Mei Xi: Huang Yongyu's sorrow and regret are depressing, and only by penetrating human nature can he cross the rapids of his heart.
"Who Else" is also an elegy about true temperament, and the landscape of a group of temperamental people depicted in the work has disappeared today, and with their death, we can only be stunned by their distant backs. When Huang Yongyu records their true temperament, he is recording the dissipation of a liberal way of life, a hidden spiritual texture belonging to a generation.
Chang Ren Xia is a scholar of Indian culture and a famous activist during the Anti-Japanese War, then the director of the library of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, who was escorted by the rebels to the countryside on the outskirts of Beijing in 1966, and in the drum noise, the leader of the rebels ordered Chang Xia to recite poems to the peasant masses, which was originally to humiliate Chang Xia, but Chang Xia performed like an official performance, reciting Du Fu's "Shu Xiang": "Where to find the ancestral hall of the prime minister? Outside Jinguan City, Bussensen. The green grass is from the spring color, and the septum oriole is empty and sound. Three cares frequently troubled the world, and the two dynasties opened the hearts of the old ministers. He died before he could get out, and the hero burst into tears. "Then,. Using Du Fu's silent metaphor for the situation of people in times of hardship and danger, he still maintained human dignity and decency despite being insulted and damaged.
The first time Huang Yongyu and Wang Shixiang met was at the house of Mr. Zhang Guangyu, an art professor, and saw the book that Wang Shixiang gave to Zhang Guangyu on the table, and took it by the way, Clinker Wang Shixiang did not know Huang Yongyu, and pulled out the book "calmly put it back on the table and went away"! Shi Huang Yongyu really wanted to take a look at the back of his head. The next time he visited Zhang Guangyu, Wang Shixiang turned around and went back to the house to bring a book to Huang Yongyu: "Faux pas!" Sorry! I, Wang Shixiang, you Huang Yongyu! Please enjoy "Jewelry", please enjoy. "Pride and sincerity are unpretentious, and they are extremely lovely.
Pan Jiyan, Zou Jiyan and his wife have been intersecting with the Huang family for fifty or sixty years, and many details can be seen: Pan Jiyan likes to play chess and regret chess, and when he is poked through, he is immediately angry and angry, and his wife Zou Ji loves beauty, even if she is shaved yin and yang, she must wrap a beautiful headscarf and wear beautiful clothes when cleaning the hall. Pan Jiyan wanted to go hunting with Huang Yongyu, fully armed like a long trip, along the way he was still saying that he forgot to bring this and that, attention and keeping quiet hunting rules completely forgotten, walk a few steps to rest and rest, sleep, sixty miles of walking for a day without hitting anything! Huang Yongyu's Pan Jiyan's youthful heart is hilarious, and his statement of truth is even more enduring: When it comes to hunting, although it was done in difficult times, Huang Yongyu remembered it in his later years and felt very sad, and had a deep reflection on it: "I think he raised many animals in his family later, and he treated them like family, is it related to this?"
He vividly reproduced Zhang Xueming's impudence, Wang Daoyuan's blood, Tang Shengming's legend, Zhang Chen's haoxing, Jiang Jingguo's homesickness, Han Suyin's accessibility, Old Gong Tou's dream, Xiao Tiezhu's deep love... The faces that passed through the historical corridor recalled by Huang Yongyu were scattered into mud and dust, and only fragrant fragrance remained the same. This view of his woodcarvings is a relic of it.
When looking back on his century life, Huang Yongyu said many times: "When I say goodbye to the world one day, I will say two satisfactions: First, there are many good-hearted friends. Second, I am a hard worker. Indeed, Huang Yongyu's unremitting work in his life has won the sincere love of his friends, and the sympathetic friendship has also become the basis of Huang Yongyu's artistic career. This is the recognition and dignity given to life by people with great achievements, great personality, great hearts, and great temperament.
"Who Else" exposes a sad and wild, independent and free soul of the century.

This joke book published in 1998 is about to be published again, and after 23 years, many respected friends and elders are gone. One year in Babaoshan to attend the memorial service of the Duke of Qianbi, I met Xia Yangong, and he asked me who is Wu Shimo? The third and fourth, how can you see the little girl with two braids combing her two braids in the school and stepping on roller shoes to each classroom to watch people draw sketches? How could I not know? Never heard of it? Yu Feng Miaozi came over and pointed to my nose: "He just has nothing to do!" ”
How many years have passed, I was only seventy-five years old, many years of glory!
These articles were published in the journal New Observation at the time. This book has been reprinted, how can I forget the countless respected friends?
