On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China, the 85-year-old writer Wang Meng was awarded the national honorary title of "People's Artist".
Wang Meng's life, writings and so on.
His works such as "Long Live Youth", "New Young People from the Organization Department", "Activities Change into Human Form", "This Side of the Landscape", etc., are all representative works of contemporary Chinese literature. His works have been translated into more than twenty languages and published in various countries. In addition, he has also discovered and trained a large number of outstanding young writers, making great contributions to the prosperity and development of contemporary Chinese literature.
Wang Meng's life has experienced ups and downs.
Wang Meng, male, was born in Beijing on October 15, 1934.
He is a contemporary Chinese writer and scholar, former minister of culture, and honorary chairman of the Chinese Writers Association.
In 1934, the Central Red Army began the Long March, and Wang Meng was born.
In October 1934, the Central Red Army quietly set out from Ruijin and began the Long March. It was also on the 15th of this month that Wang Meng was born on the beach in Beijing.
At that time, his father was studying at Peking University, and his mother was also attending university in Beijing. Wang Meng's hometown was Nanpi, Hebei, so Wang Meng was a fellow countryman with Zhang Zhidong, a famous minister of the late Qing Dynasty and a leader of the Western affairs school.
When Wang Meng was in junior high school, he participated in the Beijing Middle School Students' Speech Competition and won the third place.
In 1956, Wang Meng published the novel "A Young Man From the Organization Department" in the "People's Literature", which reflected the contradictions among the people under the socialist system and exposed bureaucracy earlier from the perspective of Lin Zhen, a young man who was new to the Organization Department. The novel stirs up a thousand waves, causing great controversy, some critical, some in favor.
In May 1958, Wang Meng was classified as a rightist.
In 1963, Wang Meng sold furniture in Beijing and took a three-year-old and a five-year-old child to Xinjiang. He first served as a magazine editor in Urumqi, and then as a deputy captain of the second brigade of the Bayandai Red Flag People's Commune in Ili. He stayed in Xinjiang for 16 years, and when he was officially transferred back to Beijing, it was already 1979 after the turmoil.
In 1979, the problem of Wang Meng's "right wing" was completely corrected.
From June 1986 to September 1989, he was the former Minister of Culture.
Wang Meng's Minister of Culture Work Card.
After Wang Meng stopped serving as minister of culture, he concentrated on writing. "Season of Love", "Awkward Wind", "My Philosophy of Life", "Green Fox", "Half a Life", "Big Article", "Nine Lives and Seven Sheep"... After entering the 21st century, Wang Meng not only wrote novels, but also turned to the study and interpretation of traditional culture.
Wang Meng has a lofty position and great influence in china's contemporary literary scene.
In large part, this is because Wang Meng is first and foremost a thinker and a thinker of the times. As a writer and a scholar, Wang Meng is not writing with a pen, but writing with his heart and thinking, and the breadth, profundity, penetration, and transcendence of his thoughts are rare among contemporary writers. From the world, history, country, and nation, to the individual's philosophy of life, the principles of communication, values, and mental health, Wang Meng has a unique and profound understanding and understanding.
Mr. Wang Meng has always been my admiration and envy, it can be said that he is a living legend, when he was 19 years old, he went to the creative road, the first work "Youth Years" was very popular after the publication, praise continued, and Wang Meng modestly said that it was too simple at that time, and now it seems that there are many flaws in that work.
Wang Meng told you: Don't put yourself on your own, don't go to please others!
Life is not as rich as you think, your own time must live for yourself!
In Wang Meng's home, there are photos of two women, including photos with his new wife Shan Sanya, and photos of The deceased Wang Meng's deceased wife Cui Ruifang.
Mr. Wang Meng not only wrote a good article, but his love story was also earth-shattering.
Wang Meng and his ex-wife Cui Ruifang.
Cui Ruifang was Wang Meng's first wife.
Wang Meng and Cui Ruifang fell in love at first sight in their early years, he was 18 years old, she was 19 years old, and the happiness of two young people meeting each other was delicately presented in the new book "Wang Meng's Eighty Self-Description".
On January 28, 1957, Wang Meng married Cui Ruifang. They stayed in this marriage for 55 years. People often say that flowers are the medium, but they are related because of Wang Meng's novels. Wang Meng's novel "Spring Festival" made the two of them unable to be separated anymore.
Soon after Wang Meng and Cui Ruifang were married, they went to work in Housangyu Village in Mentougou, and Ruifang, who was already pregnant with Liujia at the time, took a train to take Wang Meng to the Yanyi Railway Station in Mentougou.
From the very beginning, their lives have encountered external difficulties. But they are more affectionate than hearted, and they face the storm of life together and fight side by side.
In 1963, Wang Meng "self-released" to Xinyi, a full 16 years of sinking. Cui Ruifang, on the other hand, took the child and followed her to Urumqi and then to Yili.
Life is very hard, but they find the joy of life behind the hardships, and they name the little daughter born of Yili "Yi Huan".
In June 1976, they returned to Beijing.
When he and Ruifang strolled through the streets of Beijing at the beginning of the lanterns, "happy as a prince." ”
Wang Mengfu created the case, and Ruifang was busy with her children's studies and family chores behind her. Together, they have experienced the wind and rain and overcome difficulties together. Mutual trust and deep love have made them go through the tin marriage, the porcelain marriage, the pearl marriage, the ruby marriage, and the golden marriage.
Until one day in March 2012, Cui Ruifang died of illness and left Wang Meng.
When faced with the departure of his wife, Wang Meng said: "It is precisely because I have been with Ruifang since I was very young, which has caused me a kind of vulnerability, and I have lived a very lonely life after she left. ”
Together for nearly 60 years, Wang Meng has a deep attachment to his wife.
In the years when his wife died, Wang Meng was deeply lost in thoughts and could not extricate himself.
In grief, he wrote a mourning poem "To Love Wife": "In this life and this heart, Seocho FangFei is warm and windy."
After the death of his wife, Wang Meng was deeply distressed, and he was very sorry for the time spent with his wife, and he thought that he would be lonely for the rest of his life.
Who knew that in the blink of an eye, he met The journalist Shan Sanya, who was 20 years younger than himself, and did not shy away from saying bluntly: I fell in love with her at first sight!
Wang Meng fell in love at first sight again, and Shan Sanya was like a moonlight, dispelling the haze in his heart.
It is reported that Wang Meng and Cui Ruifang fell in love at first sight in their early years, when he was 18 years old and she was 19 years old, and he was deeply in love with his ex-wife for decades. Coincidentally, he and his second wife also fell in love at first sight, and Wang Meng said that Shan Sanya was "my comfort and the resurrection of my vitality."
When Wang Meng's life fell into a gray darkness, under the care of his friends, he met Shan Sanya, a senior reporter of Guangming Daily.
"Widowhood at an advanced age is a very sad thing, and it is difficult to find another half at an advanced age, people's conditions are too different, and everyone has formed their own way of life." But Wang Meng did not let the sad life continue, he decided to marry Shan Sanya and live a "living life" again.
For his resolute step of remarriage, Wang Meng did not forget to summarize a little, "I have a special feeling, I have a special feeling, I have hesitated, weighed, loved to deliberate, and even contradicted myself in the small things in my life, but it is just a big thing, I am intuitive, dare to make a decision." ”
It's never too late to blossom, and love is always there.
Wang Meng replied to Dou Wentao bluntly: "The first minute I met Ms. Shan Sanya, I felt that it was her, and there was a kind of love at first sight that was killed by a second. ”
The two met for 15 days and then married, when Wang Meng was 80 years old and Shan Sanya was 60 years old.
Wang Meng, 80, remarried, and his new wife is Shan Sanya, a veteran reporter of Guangming Daily, who is nearly sixty years old.
The desolate garden in Wang Meng's heart was full of flowers again. In his article "Next Year I Will Age", he wrote:
"I must admit that Ruifang has given me too much warmth and support, I am used to it, I will only, I must also love a woman, guard a woman, and always connect with such a person." There was absolutely no way I could live alone. Sanya's arrival is my rescue, there can be no more ideal ending... I will always remember the past 60 years, 65 years, 80 years, and I look forward to still fighting for the future... I want to say long live life, long live youth, long live love. ”
Wang Meng's remarriage in his later years was unacceptable to many people.
People accused Wang Meng of failing to fulfill his husband's responsibilities. However, in my opinion, this is obviously not true, according to the routine of the TV series, if the husband really loves his wife, he must guard his body like a jade after his death, and guard love alone.
But this is only a fantasy, not a reality, people are free, why do you have to spend the rest of your life alone in order to satisfy the "concept of love" in the mouths of the masses? Presumably, Wang Meng, as a public figure, has long seen through this, he is free, he has the right to find another person to love well in his old age, and he supports it from my personal point of view.
In contrast, in his life, Wang Meng never apologized to his ex-wife, but instead frothed with each other in the most difficult times.
Wang Meng and his second wife also fell in love at first sight.
Wang Meng called Shan Sanya "my comfort and the resurrection of my vitality."
Zhang Yueran, a "little literary friend" who is 50 years old with Wang Meng, can't help but say that he is "envious and jealous."
Writer Xie Youshun joked with Wang Meng, calling him "the only surviving writer with no scandals." Wang Meng laughed at this evaluation: "There was a female writer who said before that if a writer of a novel does not even have a scandal, who deserves to write a novel?" “
Later, some people said that Wang Meng did not have a scandal, he did not need a scandal, he had already married the best woman in the world to his home.
After marriage, Wang Meng lived younger and younger, but he did not forget his former wife, in Wang Meng's home, there are two photos, namely His wife and his current wife.
86-year-old Wang Meng's recent situation.
Now 86 years old, Wang Meng is still energetic, full of energy, insisting on swimming, writing, chasing dramas, and maintaining 6 abs.
Wang Meng said: I don't chase the stars, I chase the sea! Don't chase the stars, I'm chasing the whole galaxy in your eyes!
In 1953, at the age of 19, Wang Meng wrote his first novel, "Long Live Youth", in which he wrote: "Come all the days, let me weave you, weave you with the golden thread of youth and the glory of happiness." ”
Today, at the age of 86, he still writes about youth, love, and life.
The 86-year-old Mr. Wang Meng has maintained a strong creative force, asked how to maintain the passion and inspiration of creation, Mr. Wang Meng announced his "secret": "One is love, one is interest, one is vitality." In short, all experiences are not bad, all thoughts are regurgitated, all the passing water leaves its own ripples and engravings, this is creation, there are so many things to write, do not write out, is not it in vain?
