3 days before Lu Yao's death
On November 17, 1992, writer Lu Yao died in Xijing Hospital at the age of 43.
Three months ago, on August 5, Lu Yao found his good friend Hangyu and asked him to buy a ticket to Yan'an. Hangyu felt strange: His wife Linda and daughter had just returned from Beijing, so why were they going to Yan'an now? Lu Yaodao: Linda agreed to let me go to Yan'an to rest for 10 days, and when we came back, we divorced. The space was horrified. The rumors of Lu Yao's divorce from Linda were not a day or two, and I really didn't expect to come to this step.
On August 6, 1992, Lu Yao left Xi'an with a backpack on his back.
Hangyu did not expect that Lu Yao had just arrived in Yan'an and became ill. On August 14, Wang Gencheng of the Shaanxi Provincial Writers Association hurriedly found Hangyu and said that Lu Yao had been admitted to the Yan'an Regional People's Hospital. Originally, the unit should have sent escorts, but Lu Yao asked you to go by name. As Lu Yao's most trusted friend, Hangyu certainly had nothing to say. He went to Lu Yao's house and told Linda the news. Linda did not know the news that Lu Yao had been hospitalized, and did not ease up for a long time, until Hangyu reminded lu Yao to bring some change of clothes, Linda turned to find clothes. She instructed Hangyu: If the condition is serious, hurry back to Xi'an for treatment, he will die and suffer face!
Lu Yao was replaced by a serious illness at a brilliant moment in his literary career. As his colleague and friend, Hangyu accompanied Lu Yao from beginning to end, witnessing the last days of Lu Yao's life: how to face the torment of illness, financial constraints, and the breakdown of marriage, and his brother who was once very trusted left him; he carried a heavy burden, helplessness and struggle between love, family affection, friendship and career!

Lu Yao was very energetic. His history of struggle can be said to be a model for the children of ordinary peasant families since the reform and opening up. From writing poems with Cao Guxi and others to writing novels later, Lu Yao made more arduous efforts than others with every step he took. Once he chatted with Hangyu and said that Hangyu's novels were not well written, and he had already written "Life" at Hangyu's age! He is not satisfied with writing poetry so he writes novels, he is not satisfied with writing short stories so he writes novellas, he is not satisfied with writing novellas so he writes long stories, and every step he takes is transcendence of himself. The novel "Ordinary World" later won the Mao Dun Literature Prize, which is the result of his continuous self-transcendence.
"Ordinary World" crushed Lu Yao's body: staying up all night, eating irregularly, smoking like a life, mood swings when writing... When the first part was written, the confident Lu Yao suffered criticism from the critics: his way of writing was outdated! But he decided to finish the novel anyway. 3 parts of more than 1 million words, the first time to write a long story, no experience, the pressure of Lu Yao can be imagined!

"Ordinary World" was finally submitted to the selection committee of the Mao Dun Literature Prize. Lu Yao began to sleep soundly, hoping to win the prize, but judging from the opinions of critics, it is still unknown whether this "outdated" novel will pass. One day, he received a call from the editor Li Jinyu: Unfortunately, your "Ordinary World" did not win an award! You can imagine how disappointed Lu Yao was. But Li Jinyu turned around and said: Just kidding you, "Ordinary World" won the award, and it is the first place! The huge contrast made Lu Yao ecstatic. Hangyu said that after Lu Yao got the accurate answer, he almost screamed in the office. 6 years of hard work is worth it!
When Lu Yao won the Mao Dun Literature Prize
At that time, the Mao Dun Literature Award only had a prize of 30,000 yuan, which was quite a lot in that era. But Lu Yao paid too much for writing, he did not know how to open source and reduce expenditure, and the money for smoking alone was 200 yuan per month. According to him, that little bonus, in addition to the cost of entertaining guests in Beijing, the rest is not enough for me to smoke all these years! He once wanted to open a clothing store with his friend Haibo, but Haibo refused, saying that he regarded himself as a businessman! In order to give his wife Linda and daughter a warm home, Lu Yao began to renovate the house. He borrowed money everywhere. But in the end, it did not save Linda's heart. Lu Yao also owed more than 40,000 yuan in debt for this. All his life, Lu Yao has been fighting money!

Writing outside for a long time. The burden of the family is on Linda. Linda repeatedly filed for divorce from Lu Yao, but was rejected. But friends gradually understood Linda, the marriage between the two reached this point, Lu Yao's problems were more, when Lu Yao went to Yan'an to go to college, it was Linda who paid for it.
Lu Yao's long-term "disregard" for Linda caused Linda to resemble a strange road. Therefore, after Lu Yao became seriously ill, Linda visited the hospital twice in total. Friends have a lot of criticism of Linda, thinking that Linda did not wait in the hospital for a day! Once, when Hangyu returned from eating outside, the nurse complained: It is really not a good word, Teacher Lu Yao is so sick, and there is a young literary woman who asked Teacher Lu Yao to sign it! Hangyu asked Lu Yao what was going on? Lu Yao said despondently: Where is the literary young woman, it was Linda who came to him to sign a divorce agreement! The space was stunned. At that time, Linda was already working at the Beijing News Agency, and after signing the letter, Linda left Xi'an.

Wang Tianle is Lu Yao's 7th brother. He was the second person in the Lu Yao family to work in the city. At that time, Lu Yao exhausted his mind because of writing "Ordinary World", and he had to be supported by Wang Tianle when crossing the road. Without Wang Tianle, his life would be a mess. The travel expenses he paid to Beijing to receive the award were borrowed by Wang Tianle for him; the nanny he needed at home was what Wang Tianle found for him; what difficulties, Lu Yao's first thought was Wang Tianle. However, after Lu Yao fell ill, Wang Tianle gradually alienated Lu Yao, which made Lu Yao furious, thinking that Wang Tianle looked down on him! Therefore, when Wang Tianle finally took time to visit Lu Yao, Lu Yao simply ignored Wang Tianle.
Lu Yao is in the hospital, and Wang Tianle is on the right
From the initial intimate relationship, to the brothers have conflicts. As friends, I have seen it in the world. Lu Yao believed that the reason why Wang Tianle treated him like this was because he had no use value. In particular, he was dissatisfied with him looking around for people to borrow money under his banner; Wang Tianle thought that Lu Yao thought too much and was a distortion of him. This caused the relationship between the brothers to become increasingly stiff, until Wang Tianle left in anger.

In the last days of Lu Yao's life, his wife divorced and his brother turned against him. After Lu Yao's death, there was also a book box kept in the aviation. According to Hangyu's meaning, since it was Lu Yao's property, it should be handed over to Yuanyuan or his ex-wife Linda to deal with, but this suggestion was rejected by Wang Tianle, who smashed Lu Yao's book box without a key and pulled away a large number of precious manuscripts.

As Lu Yao's most trusted friend, Hangyu fulfilled the responsibility of his friend, and also fulfilled the responsibility that Lu Yao's family had not fulfilled. After Lu Yao's death, Hangyu also left the Writers' Association compound. But Hangyu is still running for Lu Yao's "aftermath", Lu Yao worried about the work of his youngest brother Jiuwa before he died, and the relationships he should find have been found, but Jiuwa's work has not been implemented. Jiuwa was born wooden, so Hangyu had to come forward and look for people for him everywhere, and finally had a satisfactory explanation! In order to commemorate Lu Yao, Hangyu pulled sponsorship everywhere, successfully held the first Lu Yao Memorial Meeting, and later invested tens of thousands of yuan to shoot China's first "Lu Yao" TV documentary feature film!

Hangyu said: "Lu Yao did not leave a word or a decent material wealth for his relatives... Having hastily bid farewell to this land and the people, he hoped that one day, the morning still began at noon, and he could calmly plunge himself into solemn labor again... For Lu Yao, I have fulfilled my share of responsibility and have no regrets. "
