Liu Xinwu's life is quite legendary, he was born into a famous family, but he had a turbulent and displaced childhood; he was indifferent to fame and fortune, but he entered the center of the Chinese literary circle in one fell swoop because of "Class Teacher"; he was obsessed with literary creation, but he suffered repeated setbacks on the road of literature; he loved "Dream of the Red Chamber" and loved the study of the Red Chamber, but he was unduely accused and criticized.
Liu Xinwu (赵壮汉; born June 4, 1942 in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, born in Anyue County, Sichuan Province) is a famous contemporary Chinese writer and researcher of red studies.
Liu Xinwu was born on June 4, 1942 in Chengdu, Sichuan Province.
He settled in Beijing after 1950.
Liu Xinwu loved literature in middle school, began to publish works in 1958, graduated from the department of Chinese of Beijing Normal College in 1961, and later served as a middle school teacher for 15 years.
After 1976, he was the editor of Beijing Publishing House, and participated in the founding of "October" and served as an editor.
Liu Xinwu's red learning life.
Liu Xinwu was in elementary school, found that the pillow of the bed where his father slept was particularly high, he opened the pillow and found that there was this "Dream of the Red Chamber", which was not thread-bound, but the printing age was very old, and there were embroidery statues inside, Liu Xinwu felt that it was very interesting, Liu Xinwu's parents they thought he was small, they did not advocate him to see, but really found Liu Xinwu from under the pillow to see it, they did not condemn. Liu Xinwu's earliest reading of "Dream of the Red Chamber" should be in elementary school, probably at that time should be twelve years old.
Liu Xinwu has his own experience of "Dream of the Red Chamber", which is the kind of vicissitudes of life. However, Liu Xinwu felt as if after experiencing many things, between people and people, people began to ponder these things, liu Xinwu felt that at that time, he began to read out the taste.
Mr. Liu Xinwu believes that "Dream of the Red Chamber" is a work with autobiographical and family history characteristics, and many of its characters have archetypes in life. And Qin Keqing is a master key to interpreting "Dream of the Red Chamber", cracking qin Keqing's life prototype in order to understand Cao Xueqin's true creative intentions. He believes that Qin Keqing's true origin was the daughter of the deposed prince Yin Rong, who was hidden in the Cao Mansion during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, that is, a noble princess-level figure. All the mysteries about her are closely related to her true identity.
Liu Xinwu became an Internet celebrity because of "Hundred Family Forum".
Years later, when we look back on the past, "Hundred Tribunes" must not be able to get around, Yu Dan, Yi Zhongtian, Wang Liqun, Yan Chongnian, Meng Man, they have brought ratings traffic to tv stations and Weibo, and created brilliance for the book market, a "Yu Dan "Analects" Experience" sold more than ten million copies, more than all the books in history that study Confucius combined. And the controversy over these star scholars has never been extinguished to this day.
In the autumn of 2004, Liu Xinwu was invited to the Museum of Modern Chinese Literature to reveal the text of "Dream of the Red Chamber" from Qin Keqing, telling the research experience of "hidden real things and false words". On that day, the lecture hall was bursting, and the original chairs were no longer enough, so they had to be moved from the conference room to "rescue the soldiers". There are many listeners, one is because of the unique conclusions of his research, and the other is because of his strong language expression ability. Liu Xinwu worked as a middle school Chinese teacher when he was young, and after becoming famous, he spoke at dozens of famous schools such as Harvard and Stanford, and was able to speak eloquently and once again fit the beat of the times.
Despite this, Liu Xinwu initially refused to go to CCTV, because CCTV invited many red scholars to speak that year, and Feng Qiyong and Li Xifan recorded programs. "At that time, after inviting the red scholar, the audience did not want to listen, and only then did they find me." In the end, Liu Xinwu was still moved, and in the end, those orthodox red scholars did not become Internet celebrities, except for him, like other academic stars of "Hundred Tribunes", four books that revealed the "Dream of the Red Chamber" series of books, which also sold well.
Liu Xinwu Tanchen: Yi Zhongtian is better than me!
Because of the "unveiling of the red" in the "Hundred Family Forum", Liu Xinwu's popularity increased sharply, and it was also controversial, and even there was an incident in which red scholars rose up and attacked it, and Liu Xinwu, who committed "public anger", stopped the lecture. However, Liu Xinwu revealed that he will continue to record the last 13 times to "reveal the red", although these contents were made public in the next volume of "Liu Xinwu Reveals the Secret of "Dream of the Red Chamber".
While gaining high popularity, in the face of controversy and shelling, Liu Xinwu believes that Yi Zhongtian's situation is similar to his own to a certain extent, but modestly believes that he is not as good as Yi Zhongtian, saying: "He is a university professor, better than me; and he speaks better than I speak, which can be seen from the circulation of the book." ”
In Liu Xinwu's life, 2009 was his scarniest year, and his beloved wife Xiaoge died of cancer.
During the dream of the Red Chamber, Liu Xinwu experienced the death of his wife.
For a long time after his wife's death, Liu Xinwu felt the nothingness of life.
Liu Xinwu has appeared on CCTV's "Hundred Forums" four times, subversively analyzing "Dream of the Red Chamber", and he has become the only writer and scholar in the country to have appeared on the altar four times. In this regard, he said: "It was the beloved wife of the Kingdom of Heaven who encouraged me to analyze the Dream of the Red Chamber, which can also be said to be in memory of her, and I have only been on the 'Hundred Pulpits' four times. ”
Liu Xinwu's wife, named Lu Xiaoge, was originally a bookbinder in a printing factory.
Although she is ill, the diet and living of taking care of her family still falls on Lu Xiaoge, who always thinks of Changing the pattern of her meals and often thinks alone how to make her husband and son eat comfortably and deliciously. Liu Xinwu said to her: "The simpler the better, as long as it can fill the belly." Although she agreed with her lips, when she opened the meal, the table was always full of dishes that could only be seen in restaurants, not only Chinese but also Western dishes. Seeing her husband and son exclaiming, while feasting, Lu Xiaoge smiled happily.
Because of his work relationship, Liu Xinwu often traveled to meetings, and once, a colleague and a writer asked him: "Do you want to go home?" He admitted frankly: "Of course I thought about it. The other party asked him again: "What do you miss most at home?" Liu Xinwu replied triumphantly: "Before the meal at home, the oil pot in the kitchen is hot, and the sound of vegetable leaves pouring into the pot is made!" ”
Like all women, Lu Xiaoge also loves to visit the store, and every time she has to let Liu Xinwu accompany her.
Although Lu Xiaoge is a bookbinder, she likes to play the piano very much.
When Liu Xinwu was first invited by CCTV to appear on the "Hundred Family Forum", Lu Xiaoge had been found to have cancer, and she comforted her husband and said: "You can talk about it with peace of mind, if you talk well, my illness will naturally get better. ”
The silent support of his wife made Liu Xinwu's three interpretations of "Dream of the Red Chamber" more wonderful than the first, which caused a strong response among the audience, and the whole country also set off a "red chamber fever".
On April 22, 2009, Lu Xiaoge was killed by a relentless cancer. In the first ten days of his wife's death, Liu Xinwu was unable to sleep at all. When Wang Meng came to see him, he immediately threw himself on Wang Meng's shoulder and wept, "I can't admit this fact." I can't adapt to a world without Xiao Ge. ”
For a long time after that, Liu Xinwu was immersed in the grief of losing his wife and could not extricate himself, often sitting motionless on the sofa for a whole day, full of his wife's shadow.
Enduring the pain of losing his wife, Liu Xinwu returned to the "Hundred Family Forum" to talk about the Red Chamber.
The son felt frightened and carefully advised Liu Xinwu to find something to do to remove his sorrow as soon as possible. Just at this time, CCTV's "Hundred Pulpits" came to the door again, allowing Liu Xinwu to "board the altar" for the fourth time to analyze "Dream of the Red Chamber".
Liu Xinwu: Watching my son grow up slowly.
I love my son. I never thought my son was super cute and super smart, but he was my parent anyway.
Because my father's love for me was very strong, now I often hold my son in my arms, and in addition to kissing his strong face, I always kept rubbing his hair, legs and feet, back and belly...
More than ten years later, my son grew into a big guy.
He loves life and has a lot of friends in the city, including vegetable farmers, brothers, electricians and so on.
Liu Xinwu said: "Love life, love literature, cherish the present. It is impossible to engage in writing without loving life, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you may be confused and anxious, but the moment is fleeting, it is a short intersection, to cherish. ”
"Facing literature and turning one's back to the literary world" is a friend's evaluation of Liu Xinwu.
He doesn't like to participate in all kinds of publicity activities to increase exposure.
His self-evaluation is "ordinary old man".
"Liu Xinwu seems to be a mirror, a mirror of literature in the new period." Some commentators have commented on the relationship between Liu Xinwu and the literature of the new period.
