Yinchuan writer Zhang Xianliang

Today's CCTV "Old Story" channel "One Man and One City" is Yinchuan writer Zhang Xianliang.

Zhang Xianliang was 18 years old and "immigrated" to Yinchuan, a young adult, that is, out of the crowd. In 1957, the anti-rightist became a rightist, and Yinchuan became famous with him (The Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region was established in 1958). Until 1979, he was rehabilitated and returned to Yinchuan from a suburban laogai farm, and his masterpiece novel "Half of a Man is a Woman" was written. Committed to the establishment of the Northwest Fort Film and Television Base of ancient ruins near Yinchuan City, and therefore relieved that the local people have opened up the way of production and life, and believe that it is far better than their own literary creation - it really solves the urgent difficulties and expectations of the people.

Pay attention to the historical changes in Yinchuan, the capital of the Western Xia Kingdom from the 10th to the 11th century, which was invaded and genocided by the Mongols. Therefore, it later became a city of immigrants, both in the northwest of Xinjiang and to the Arab region of Hui immigrants, but also in the Ming and Qing government migration movements, retrograde "peacock flying southeast", migration on the left bank of the Yangtze River, Yinchuan is located in the Yellow River Loop Plain, plugged in the South River, the environmental ecology and the southern river left left wind is comparable. Jiangnan Wu language is still circulating to this day, and there are also traces of fashionable wear.

Zhang Xianliang returned to Yinchuan to continue to engage in creation, and once let me go in the land of the motherland, and lived in New York and Paris for a long time, but after a long time, he returned to Yinchuan: "I was injured in Yinchuan, and I was also healed in Yinchuan."

In 1939, Hemingway came to Havana, the capital of Cuba, where he spent more than 1/3 of his life. He once described Cuba this way: "I love this country and feel like at home. A place that makes people feel like home, in addition to the hometown of birth, is the place where fate returns" (Wen Xian: "Looking Back at Key West", People's Daily, September 10, 2010, 23rd edition).

In late July this year, Yinchuan Ningdong 2021 China Entrepreneur Activity Day and China Entrepreneur Annual Meeting, Ningdong is located 40 kilometers northeast of Yinchuan, and has twice used the meeting gap to "collect wind" and "linger" in the old town of Yinchuan. On the seats of the pedestrian street in the bustling commercial street, the coffee companion "crown" cigar, tasting the passers-by, "listening to the sound, listening to the gong and drum".

Wu Nong's soft language in Jiangnan was not heard, and the fashionable dress of people, especially young women, was indeed confirmed. Costume hairstyle, traditional retro, high heels of skirts, thick oil paint, "the corners of the eyes and eyebrows are like hate"; long hair is coiled, curly hair is flowing. There are also women wearing Hui headdresses. "Hair is the biggest ornament for women, and women care the most about their hair and are most willing to spend money on their hair" (People's Daily, September 17, 2014.

Zhang Xianliang's excavation and inheritance of local traditional culture highlights the characteristic pursuit of literati. Coincidentally, the same is true of the Guizhou writer Li Kuanding of "One Man and a City" on October 30, who voluntarily gave up his status as a full-time writer and threw himself into the business sea, sealing his pen for ten years, leaving Guizhou's cultural intangible cultural heritage. Ten years later, Li Kuanding "said that books should still be written, but he is not a writer, let alone a businessman. If you have a choice, you are willing to be a yamano villager who works at sunrise and rests at dusk.

Not only that, Yinchuan, as the crucible of the population, immigrants do not distinguish between each other, mutual acceptance and integration. And tonight's "one person and a city" Hangzhou writer Li Hangyu, on the integration of Hangzhou outsiders, at night, the streets are full of people, mostly migrant workers, no money to spend accordingly, only on the street to consume time before falling asleep. In the city they feel, people should "spend time" in their respective rooms and not always "bustling".
