On November 17, 1992, Guanzhong in northern Shaanxi Province, where there was little cold and snow falling suddenly, was shrouded in plain white.
In the vastness of heaven and earth, everything is quiet; it seems that something cannot be avoided is about to happen.
It was not until 9 a.m. that the Shaanxi Branch of xinhua news agency suddenly issued an intensified press release:
Lu Yao, a writer who is famous in the literary world for his novels "Life" and "Ordinary World", was today taken away by a ruthless disease; long-term and arduous creation made him accumulate into a disease, and finally died of liver failure at 8:20 this morning due to cirrhosis and ascites.
The radio waves shuttled through the flying snowflakes and quickly reached all parts of the country, causing great shocks from all walks of life.
People from all walks of life mourned one after another, and condolences, wreaths, banglians, bangs, and so on flew from all over the country like snowflakes to the compound of the Shaanxi Branch of the China Writers Association.
At this time, the news of Lu Yao's divorce from his wife Linda was also known with Lu Yao's death.
The crowd was puzzled, and even questioned Linda, who was already an ex-wife:
Why force Lu Yao to sign a divorce agreement three days before he died?
Why can't we wait any longer until Lu Yao's condition improves?
Linda, who rushed back from Beijing to attend the funeral, was full of tiredness that could not be concealed, and in the face of those sharp questions like knives, she was silent the whole time; she was only giving Lu Yao a leash, leaving this sentence:
Lu Yao: If you have knowledge of your soul, please listen to our lament...
And Wang Tianle, who is Lu Yao's younger brother, is even more determined to stand on Linda's side, he said:
"As a woman, it is not easy to be the wife of a writer. Women in the world are looking for a farmer and don't look for a writer as a husband. When a writer may give her life, but the writer's wife also has to endure all kinds of spiritual disasters that ordinary women cannot tolerate. ”
They are the closest people in Lu Yao's life, but because of this family bond, they all bear the harm that Lu Yao has not noticed.
In terms of the quality and value of life: In the short course of his life, Lu Yao has created milestone literary masterpieces such as "Life" and "Ordinary World", and this painstaking creation is worthy of his life, and even more worthy of the land and people that nurtured him...
But as far as the experience and choice of life are concerned: Lu Yao's creative road, he also owes too much because of the judgment of "taking it for granted"; whether it is Linda's sacrifice to the family or the hard work of her brother Wang Tianle, the accumulation of these debts has exceeded the ability of family affection to bear.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="19" > [Three days before death: Wife Linda took the divorce agreement, and the 14-year marriage ended].</h1>
Lu Yao's acquaintance with Linda after the founding of New China was a typical "wrong door".
At that time, Linda was a young man who went to the countryside in Beijing, his father was a returned overseas Chinese, and his mother was a bridesmaid; on the other hand, Lu Yao was a poor boy who grew up in the yellow sand, because the college entrance examination system was abolished, and he had no school to go to his hometown to work as a farmer.
Although the two have very different origins, Linda has an unstoppable affection for Lu Yao, and in order to make her mother accept Lu Yao, she constantly praises Lu Yao's talent and stoicism, diligence and perseverance to her family.
The daughter's persistence also made the mother helpless: "The daughter is in love, what can I do?" ”
It was the appearance of Linda that reversed Lu Yao's fate.
For Lu Yao, who grew up in a remote area, meeting and falling in love with Linda is like opening up a new world, and from the conversation between the two, he can understand new things in the outside world and understand different cultures and ideas.
Linda's influence on Lu Yao was also written by him in "Ordinary World".
On the other hand, Linda's love for Lu Yao is also extremely hot, and even gave up his ideals for him.
It was 1973, and the communes recommended workers, peasants, and soldiers to colleges and universities.
Linda knew that Lu Yao's family situation could not afford his cost of going to college, but Lu Yao, who was strong and loved literature, must want to study; so in order for Lu Yao to give up his studies and subsidize Lu Yao with a salary of thirty-eight yuan per month, Lu Yao had the opportunity to enter the Chinese Department of Yan'an University.
In 1976, Lu Yao graduated from school and entered the editorial department of Shaanxi Literature and Art after some twists and turns; it was the experience of this period that laid a solid foundation for Lu Yao's literary creation.
Like all loving couples, Lu Yao and Linda, who have a stable career, are also officially married.
The two have walked hand in hand for many years, which can be regarded as bittersweet; but to the surprise of all relatives and friends, the feelings of the two after marriage are more and more difficult to reconcile.
Lu Yao is a talented writer, but he cannot take on the responsibilities and responsibilities of his husband.
After marrying Linda, Lu Yao, who was obsessed with creation, fought for literature, and all the housework was undertaken by Linda.
As a new-age woman, Linda had to make concessions for the sake of her family and began to take care of her family wholeheartedly.
When she first got married, Lu Yao was also particularly fond of Linda.
He knew that Linda was a southerner and could not eat the steamed bread and cakes in Guanzhong, so in order to take care of Linda's living habits, Lu Yao did not hesitate to mobilize relatives and friends to find a way to buy rice from Hanzhong for Linda to eat.
But this dedication and pity only lasted for a short time.
With the rise of the fame of "Life", Lu Yao's work was transferred to Xi'an; at this time, Lu Yao, fame and fortune were very rich, so the "big man" ideology in his bones began to flood; this transformation directly dragged down the marriage between the two.
Perhaps the difficult life in the early years gave Lu Yao a great shadow; after becoming famous, Lu Yao began to consume retaliatory compensation psychology.
Since "Life" received huge attention, Lu Yao's profligacy has been increased again.
A friend once summed up his consumption habits and sighed incomparably:
"Since Lu Yao was transferred to Xi'an, Lu Yao's smoking grade has been raised to the point where his salary is not commensurate with his salary."
At that time, Lu Yao's salary was only more than 100 yuan, but it cost more than 200 yuan to smoke every month.
Friends advised Lu Yao to lower the grade, and the answer given by Lu Yao was:
"This is not a physical need, but a psychological need; not to punch a swollen face and make a fat person, but to create a relatively solemn mood; and to maintain a solemn mood in order to carry out solemn work."
And that solemn job is the novel "Ordinary World" that he is painstakingly creating.
The mixed stimulation of nicotine and caffeine may indeed inspire Lu Yao's creation; but these two are more like a deep bottomless pit, slowly draining Lu Yao's body and salary.
Looking at the modern writers, those who can be famous for their poverty, except for Zhu Ziqing during the Republic of China period, I am afraid that lu yao.
But it is worth noting that Lu Yao's income is actually not low, and the reason why he still owes huge debts at the end of his life is his extravagance.
Some people have counted: Lu Yao spent at least 400 yuan per month on cigarette money during his writing; but the copyright remuneration given by "Ordinary World" was only 680 yuan.
At that time, 680 yuan could be described as a high income that ordinary people did not dare to think, but in Lu Yao's hands, it was overstretched and sloppy.
In addition to the profligacy on the road of creation, Lu Yao's support for his family and his doting on his daughter have also become a huge expense for the family.
He has always been straightforward and has the bold enthusiasm of a Guanzhong man; even if a distant relative who rarely interacts with him borrows money, Lu Yao will never refuse, even if he has no money, he will find a way to make it up for the other party.
But marriage is ultimately a joint effort of two people, and in the face of Lu Yao's profligacy, Linda often feels miserable.
On the one hand, she has to take care of the housework and take care of the children; on the other hand, she has to rack her brains to get through the difficulties for the financial conditions that cannot make ends meet.
But the contradiction is that Lu Yao is not aware of these problems at all; when Linda tries her best to save, Lu Yao is intoxicated by luxury and extravagance, and enjoys it.
Chai rice oil and salt is the cornerstone of a stable marriage, and it is also a difficult problem to consider the quality of marriage.
When one party's efforts to marry cannot be exchanged for the resonance and response of the other party, no matter how sweet the love is, it is also a siege of trapped freedom.
Once: Linda took her sick daughter to the hospital and fainted on the side of the road because she was too tired.
Lu Yao, who learned the news, did not show too much concern, but continued to bury his head in the creation.
In this matter, Linda suddenly realized that she had lost too much in this marriage and sacrificed too much.
Her perennial tight life and Lu Yao's boundless devotion to creation made her feel exhausted.
If Linda at this time is still wandering and hesitating, then Lu Yao's derailment is the last straw that crushes the camel.
In the winter of 1986, an irreparable rift appeared in the relationship between the two. Lu Yao fell in love with another woman, and he also wrote a lot of love letters to this woman, and even took this woman to show his brother.
Because the two exchanged less and less, there was a huge crisis in their feelings; Lu Yao thought about divorce, but he was reluctant to let his young daughter grow up in a single-parent family, so this marriage eventually became Lu Yao's "will".
Later, Lu Yao wrote to a friend, pouring out his remorse and uneasiness after cheating.
When the letter was seen by Linda, who was cleaning up the housework, she only felt that the whole person's center of gravity was unstable, and there was a sense of weightlessness falling from the clouds.
It was this unforgivable betrayal that made Linda truly determined to leave Lu Yao.
She put the divorce agreement in front of Lu Yao countless times; but in the face of the marriage and family that she really wanted to lose, Lu Yao repeatedly retained and refused to sign.
In 1992, "Ordinary World" won the Mao Dun Literature Prize, and Lu Yao's body was also dragged down.
During the months of hospitalization, he had hoped for Linda's appearance countless times; but by the time Linda actually came to visit, it was too late.
Three days before Lu Yao's death, Linda brought the divorce agreement.
Even though Lu Yao was reluctant and remorseful, he still signed his name in weak handwriting and made the final fulfillment.
In "Ordinary World", there is such a passage:
"How many beautiful things have disappeared and been destroyed, and the world is still like nothing has happened." Yes, life goes on. However, everyone in life is constantly losing what is most precious to them. ”
I just don't know if when Lu Yao wrote these words, he also had a premonition that he was about to lose the most precious thing in his life.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="137" > [Against brothers: starting with the maintenance of dignity and face, and finally the affection of blood thicker than water].</h1>
If Lu's endless profligacy dragged down his sweet marriage with Linda, then his pompous and face-loving style of doing things became the fuse against his younger brother Wang Tianle.
In Lu Yao's literary creation, the support and help given by his younger brother Wang Tianle cannot be ignored.
He is the fourth brother of Lu Yao, in order to support himself and his family, he dropped out of school at a young age and ran outside, taught, and also carried stones; Sun Shaoping in "Ordinary World" is his prototype.
Similarly, when Lu Yao created his first novel "Life", he was also based on his younger brother Wang Tianle, in order to create a character image, he personally ran to the construction site, found his ragged brother Wang Tianle, and listened to the other party talk about his life.
The two people in life are brothers whose blood is thicker than water, and they are also close friends who talk about everything.
In order to change the fate of his younger brother Wang Tianle, Lu Yao went around to trust the relationship, and only then arranged Wang Tianle to work as a reporter in Yan'an Daily;
And Wang Tianle also provided all-out help for Lu Yao's literary creation.
Especially when creating "Ordinary World", Wang Tianle became Lu Yao's most inseparable assistant.
It is also for this reason that Lu Yao also wrote in his essay "Morning Begins at Noon":
"I have to talk specifically about my brother Wang Tianle. To a large extent, without him, it would have been difficult for me to successfully complete Ordinary World. Like a guard, he shielded me from many terrible disturbances. ”
But unfortunately: Lu Yao's profligacy and pomp and circumstance eventually caused a huge contradiction between the two, and they could not really reconcile until they died.
It was March 1991, and the People's Daily published a news that the winning works of the third "Mao Dun Literature Award" had been announced, and Lu Yao's "Ordinary World" won the first place.
After learning that the novel won the award, Lu Yao could not suppress his excitement in his heart, but at the same time, he also put Lu Yao in a dilemma.
Because Lu Yao wanted to go to Beijing to receive the award, but he didn't have any money on him.
In an emergency, it was Wang Tianle who came forward again and raised money for his brother Lu Yaoyao's travel expenses and other expenses.
That time, Wang Tianle hurried to the Xi'an Railway Station with the money and handed it directly into Lu Yao's hands, with some helpless advice:
"Brother, I don't want to win any prizes in the future, if I win the Nobel Prize in Literature, I can't find you foreign exchange!"
In fact, the road fare to Beijing is not much.
But Lu Yao loves face, in order to celebrate the "Ordinary World" award, Lu Yao asked his brother to raise 5,000 yuan, buy 100 books and many expensive cigarettes and other gifts to give to friends.
Therefore, Lu Yao's trip to Beijing was actually completed by borrowing money from his younger brother Wang Tianle.
But the bad is that Lu Yao learned that his younger brother Wang Tianle, in order to borrow money, was reflected in the relevant leaders.
Or the leader with good relations tried to find a way, and only got 5,000 yuan in just two days.
However, this situation makes Lu Yao, who loves face and talks about pomp and circumstance, intolerable; because in his opinion, even if he does not accept the Mao Dun Literature Award, he must not reveal his own shabbiness and pity.
When this face of dignity, which he vigorously defended, was accidentally exposed by his younger brother Wang Tianle, Lu Yao's anger could be imagined.
So the two had a fierce quarrel, so that the quarrel left Wang Tianle with hurt and grievance, so that he could not let go.
At that time, Lu Yao's body had serious problems.
It was Wang Tianle who handled the hospitalization and surgery for him, but even so, there was an excessively estranged estrangement between the two people, so that Wang Tianle accompanied him, and the two were still silent.
I thought: In Lu Yao's last days, turning against his closest brother was something that made him extremely regretful.
It is worth noting that after Lu Yao's death, the bonus and copyright of "Ordinary World" were all left to his ex-wife Linda and daughter Lu Yuan; for his brother's debt of more than 10,000 yuan, Wang Tianle took the initiative to help him repay.
If Lu Yao had a spirit in heaven, he would have been extremely relieved to learn that his brother had abandoned his previous suspicions!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="138" > [last word</h1>].
Earlier watching Jia Pingwa's evaluation of Lu Yao, it was very touching!
He said: Lu Yao is a father who fell on the road of thirst.
Throughout Lu Yao's life, he was almost destined to be born for literary creation; he had the ambition of a politician, the arrogance of a good man in the green forest, the arrogance of an aristocrat, and the tenacity of a long-distance runner...
Therefore, there is a 1 million-word tome "Ordinary World", so in a short period of 43 years, it can create a literary achievement that no one has surpassed so far.
In 1992, "Ordinary World" won the third Mao Dun Literature Award; perhaps his suffering was too real, or perhaps the footsteps of the loess slope were too firm, and this set of works continued to refresh the royalty record of the literary world with the results of successive years of best-selling results.
Lu Yao was poor all his life, and he also squandered his life; so that in the last life time, he left many regrets of opposing his brother and divorcing his wife; but then again, if he created in the most regular way, wouldn't there be a birth of "Ordinary World", after all, between the lines, soaked in the suffering and hardship of life, but also full of more and more courageous tenacity and struggle.
In the end, it is a pity: Lu Yao has always been in a constant race against time with the spirit of his father, and even entrusted his heart and soul to the editor Zhou Changyi, so that the entire three volumes of "Ordinary World" were almost destroyed.
In the twists and turns of fate, he finally ushered in the fruits of the harvest; but before this joy could be shared, his body fell first.
If he were alive, the royalties of the novel alone would have been enough for him to live the rest of his life without worries; but Heaven did not give him this opportunity to bid farewell to the world with regret and unwillingness as a famous poor writer.
Thinking of this, I feel more and more that fate is unpredictable, and I have created people...
"Each of us lives as a world, and even the most ordinary person has to fight for the world in which he lives!"
This is the most touching word in "Ordinary World"!
Therefore, I also recommend you here to really read Lu Yao's "Ordinary World"; for the Chinese literary world, a work that has been selling well for 30 years has been enduring, and even increased by 3 million copies sold every year.
I remember that Dong Qing once choked up and asked in the "Readers" program:
"What kind of life did Lu Yao use to dedicate such a shocking text..."
I think its existence value is not only directly attached to the hearts of ordinary sentient beings, but also because Lu Yao speaks for the world with the spirit of martyrdom, telling us: To be born as a human being, we must fight like Shao'an, live with dignity like Shaoping, be sincere like Tian Xiaoxia, and love like Runye...
Everyone has the most difficult year in their lives, and it is this experience that makes life beautiful and vast.
So also recommend the "Ordinary World" set to everyone, if you like, you can click the link [to see]
