Absorb the ancient buildings to prepare for the construction of the Literature Museum

The door handle Barkin's hand model is Shu Yi's idea

Shu Yi has made indelible contributions to the preparation, construction and development of the Museum of Modern Chinese Literature. In particular, the completion of the new museum of literature, from the architectural layout and artistic design of the museum to the grass and trees in the garden, every sculpture and every mural is full of his painstaking efforts and ingenuity, pinning his hopes and affection.

The Beijing Youth Daily reporter also learned that many of the designs of the Modern Literature Museum at that time were creative, and Shu Yi and several colleagues ran outside every day to see ancient buildings and new designs. In this way, the architecture of the Museum of Literature later absorbed the advantages of many ancient buildings, as well as the advantages of the new design. For example, the hand model of the old man of Ba Jin used for the door handle of the Literature Museum is exactly the idea of Shu Yi. The emblem of the Museum of Literature is designed with commas in white characters on a red background, which means that modern Chinese literature began with the birth of punctuation; second, the museum's collection and study of writers and works will never end. There is also Shu Yi's creativity. The Museum of Modern Chinese Literature is the creativity of the old man Ba Jin, and in the process of building the Museum of Literature, Shu Yi went to Shanghai with Zhou Ming and several others, personally reported to Ba Jin, and each time Ba Jin listened very carefully, and said "thank you", and said that after the future is built, he will meet with Bing Xin and Xiao Qian to cut the ribbon at the Literature Museum.

He has actively performed his duties as a member of the CPPCC National Committee for many terms

Together with Liang Congjie, he protected the old Beijing courtyard

Shu Yi is a member of the Seventh, Eighth and Ninth CPPCC National Committees of Beijing Municipality, and a member of the Ninth and Tenth CPPCC National Committees, who actively performed his duties and devoted himself to the protection of the city's cultural relics and cultural heritage, writing "Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Broken Splendor", "Sui and Tang Grand Canal, Underground Splendor" and "Jiangnan Canal, The Splendor of Water Town", "Love and Thinking - A CPPCC Member's Four Expeditions to the Grand Canal" and other inspection records, actively calling for the protection of the Grand Canal. He believes that the canal is as great as the Great Wall, just as remarkable.

Shu Yi is also very familiar with Beijing's cultural relics and monuments, many of his proposals in the CPPCC are for the protection and development of Beijing's ancient capital, he put forward a lot of constructive opinions, some courtyards in Beijing were once demolished and built in a disorderly manner, he shouted, and wrote monographs such as "Discovering Beijing" and "Witnessing Intimacy -- Remembering the Tibetan Steles and Tibetan-style Buildings in the Two Areas of Chengde, Beijing", telling the ins and outs of these ancient buildings, and putting forward constructive suggestions on how to protect and restore them for the reference of relevant departments.

According to public information, in 2000, in the face of the rapid demise of hutongs and courtyards in Beijing's old city, Shu Yi, together with MEMBERS of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Liang Congjie, Mi Songyi, and Li Yan, jointly put forward "Ten Urgent Suggestions for Protecting Beijing's Famous Historical and Cultural City" and assumed the historical responsibility of protecting old Beijing.

Shu Yi's four siblings will collect their parents

Qi Baishi paintings were donated to the state

Guan Jixin, former president of the China Lao She Research Association, and Mr. Shu Yi have a decades-long friendship. For Shu Yi's physical condition before his death, Guan Jixin told the Beijing Youth Daily reporter that Shu Yi lost consciousness after falling ill due to cerebral thrombosis in 2015 and has been lying in the hospital. "On April 21, after Shu Yi died, I learned the bad news for the first time and felt sad. I wrote more than ten big characters in the Lao She Research Society group, 'Deep sorrow, hard to remember, sleep tonight'. I lay in bed, remembering all the memories of his life, and turned over and over all night without sleeping well. On the phone, Guan Jixin said in a trembling voice.

Guan Jixin still clearly remembers that it was in 1981, when he first contacted Mr. Shu Yi. At that time, he was still a college student who had not yet graduated, and since he himself was from Manchu origin, he wrote two research papers on Lao She, so he went to visit Shu Yi and asked him to propose some revisions. Shu Yi readily agreed, and the two discussed Mr. Lao She's relationship with Manchu literature.

Also in the 1980s, the China Lao She Research Association was established, and a large-scale academic seminar was held every three years or so. Shu Yi would come to attend every meeting. "Shu Yi is more able to understand that I analyze Lao She's works from the perspective of Manchu literature and art, and his views are sometimes different from mine, but he does not refute me. Correspondingly, I put forward some points, and he will praise me and seek common ground while reserving differences with me. Guan Jixin said.

It is worth mentioning that from 2013 to 2015, Shu Yi, his sister Shu Ji, his sister Shu Yu and Shu Li donated 20 fine calligraphy and paintings collected by their parents, such as Qi Baishi's "Frog Sound Ten Miles Out of the Mountain Spring", Fu Baoshi's "Tong Yin Tu", and Lin Fengmian's "Chuanjiang Tu", to the Museum of Modern Chinese Literature, and donated a large part of the calligraphy and paintings to the National Art Museum. Shu Yi said: "When we are old, we must consider the ownership of this batch of paintings. Barkin once said: 'Lao She is a person who will always share with others.' As the children of Lao She, we donate these national treasures so that the true works of the masters can be publicly owned, so that the public can appreciate, study, study and pass on." Artists belong to the people, and works of art belong to the people. ”
