Among modern Chinese writers, the status and influence of Shaanxi writer Jia Pingwa can be seen, and he is also among the "Three Masters of Shaanxi", Including Lu Yao, author of "Ordinary World", Chen Zhongzhong, author of "White Deer Plain", and he who single-handedly created "Waste Capital".
Perhaps because of the unique style of Jia Pingwa's literary works, he was once called by most people as a "rogue writer" in the Chinese literary world, but it is precisely because of this title and his unique literary characteristics that at a lecture at Fudan University, when Jia Pingwo passionately told his classmates about literary knowledge, a female college student came to ask questions in front of him, which suddenly made the audience silent.
The female college student suddenly stood up and asked Jia Pingwo sharply:
"We all know that you are a famous literary writer, and I have read your works, otherwise I would not be qualified to stand up and ask you questions, and it seems to me that the themes of all your works are almost inseparable from the love of men and women, do you only write these things?"
Originally, when everyone thought that Jia Pingwo would be dumbfounded by the female college student's questions, after all, the whole audience remained silent at that time, and everyone was waiting for Jia Pingwo to reply to this girl. Everyone's wait is worth it, but I hope it doesn't wait long, Jia Pingwa's reply is very direct, that is, the next second after the girl asks the question.
Jia Pingwo replied easily:
"You are too young to understand, I did not deliberately write this, I wrote the status quo at that time, the previous generation of conditions are difficult, men are very stressful, life is not satisfactory, so I lean on women and empty myself." 」
As the saying goes, each classic work naturally has its own unique social background, and The Chinese writers of Jia Pingwa's generation, the social background on which they are based and the social sophistication they have experienced since childhood, are absolutely difficult for our generation to imagine. Taking Mr. Chen Zhongzhong's "White Deer Plain" as an example, do you think that there is a difference between Jia Pingwa's "Waste Capital" and the "taste of male and female love" in the mouth of this Fudan female college student who asked questions?
We cannot deny Mr. Jia Pingwo because of this, after all, the taste and feelings revealed by some classic works are largely only a reflection of the social background reality on which the works are based, and the reason why Mr. Jia Pingwo will write in this way is nothing more than to use his own writing and tone to tell this generation and countless generations after the work about the social reality under the roots of the work.
I have been reading Jia Pingwa 's works since elementary school, and after reading the books several times, I am really deeply influenced by the simple and down-to-earth style of the articles, and I like this kind of seemingly ordinary and tacky but full of wisdom articles. Of course, many people will also agree with the Fudan female college student, but different people read Jia Pingwa's literary works from different visual angles, and naturally there are differences in the feelings after reading.
"The Taste of Male and Female Love" may really have a unique flavor in Jia Pingwo's series of literary works, after all, Mr. Jia Pingwo has described it at length. But after all, "food color, sex also"! Whether it is Jia Pingwa or other writers, whether they write or not, it (this reality) exists objectively.
It's just that civilized society must have its own rules, and in the face of the words of male and female love, most people's attitude is obscure and shy, and you say that it is hypocritical or feudal, but it is a moral barrier that cannot be trampled on. Besides, if this reality is really placed in broad daylight, don't you think that it is actually tasteless and boring?
Reading books is not to read stories, to analyze from a literary point of view, some of the so-called banned books in the Chinese literary world, banned is not badly written, because for the Chinese public, there are really some large scales. In short, it may be difficult for ordinary people to understand, or even understand, the depth of the book.
I can give a few brief examples:
Is the social reality that Lao She's "Dragon Sugou" wants to reflect really be explored from the surface of the mass spectrum text?
Wang Xiaobo's "Times Trilogy" should be known to everyone, in this series of books, what do you think Wang Xiaobo wants to express?
Writer Xiao Hong's "Biography of Hulan River" is really that kind of childlike perspective, if you really just use the childlike vision to read, then you are really too naïve, can not say that you can not read the author wants to express the theme, in short, can not fully understand the book. If it is difficult to understand, then how can the value of reading be realized?
Therefore, books, like movies, some books are not born for the public, they are just tools and carriers for recording the times.
The public's controversy over Mr. Jia Pingwo has always been continuous, and most of the factors will be directly attributed to Jia Pingwo's character.
Mr. Jia Pingwa's feelings can be said to be a wave of three twists and turns, but the most controversial thing about the public, that is, the point that the public ignores the most, the so-called one wave and three folds, are only Jia Pingwa's own subjective initiative at work.
Because he went to the hospital, Jia Pingwo met a nurse during his recovery in the hospital, and this nurse was a loyal fan of his book. This female nurse took good care of Jia Pingwo, and probably because of this, coupled with the beautiful appearance of the female nurse, Jia Pingwo was once deeply immersed in its "beauty".
After a long period of companionship and exchange, Jia Pingwo finally touched the reality from the dream, and at his strong request, his original wife had to accept a divorce agreement, replaced by the female nurse who was 17 years younger than him.
If Jia Pingwa's move is the social trend orientation of pursuing free love, how should the "Twelve Beauties of the Tea House" who followed in the subsequent comment? At that time, Jia Pingwo lived in Xi'an, and the downstairs where he lived was a small and famous tea house.
Perhaps because the humanistic atmosphere of the tea house is relatively harmonious, Jia Pingwa will often sit alone in this tea house, and the owner of this tea house is a woman, who is definitely an intellectual and beautiful person. Jia Pingwa stayed in Xi'an for ten years at that time, and he was in this teahouse for ten years.
Why sit? Many people said that it was because there were twelve beautiful women in the teahouse, and during this decade, Mr. Jia Pingwa got along with a lot of beautiful women very well, but there was no result between the two. Then, a literary work called "Temporary Sitting" came out, and the story told in the book came from this teahouse.
However, Mr. Jia Pingwa once again fell into the "emotional vortex" of the public's mouth, saying that his real life was very impure, and this impurity was directly reflected in his literary works. Therefore, until now, many people feel that Mr. Jia Pingwa's works may really be influenced by his personality.
But if we evaluate a literary work from a rational and objective point of view, should we really judge the good or bad according to the author's character?
