Jia Pingwo said that Chen Jingmin is an authentic "dragon people"

Chen Jingmin belongs to the dragon and is one round older than me; he belongs to his peers, he is a brother, I am a brother; both belong to the administrative village of Shangchen, not in a villager group. It is said that it is a group, but it is actually a natural village, and the village and the village are separated by a beam, and the beam is divided under the beam. Next to the ground, the sheep intestine trail is connected, and relatives are walking around. Chen Jingmin's village is under the beam, sloping to the east, a slope of trees, shade half of the slope of the house, usually can only see cooking smoke rising from the treetops. When I was in elementary school, I only learned the name Chen Jingmin. The adults often said that he, because he was young, had entered the commune as a cadre. That's a commune cadre, and people of the same age are red-eyed! Suddenly, one day, people said that Chen Jingmin had entered Xi'an and worked at the Xi'an People's Building. What is a mansion? The villagers did not know, but believed that it was a step to the heavens, not far from Zhongnanhai. I took it for granted: it must be upstairs and downstairs, with electric lights and phones! From this day on, my heart has engraved two marks: Xi'an People's Building and Chen Jingmin! It was the white clouds on the South Mountain; it was the bright moon in the night sky; it was a dream in a deep sleep!

In the summer of 1979, I was hospitalized in the Fourth Hospital of Xi'an, and it happened that Chen Jingmin's door was also hospitalized, and he lived next door to me. Every two or three days, Chen Jingmin would come to the hospital. What impressed me the most was that he carried a large string of keys and pushed a brand new bicycle. I haven't seen so many keys, and I think: People who do big things are just different! So many keys, how many doors! Every time I heard him talk and laugh, I looked up timidly, and my mind was racing: when would I be able to take a bunch of keys and push a brand new bicycle like him? Seeing Chen Jingmin go away, I refused to go back to the ward! I want to enjoy the cityscape of watching him go all the way! The prosperity of that road, that building, that lamp, that eye belongs to him, not to me! Suddenly, an enlightenment suddenly arose: to live as godlike as he was, a peasant child had no other way but to read! Thinking of this, I immediately went to the Jiefang Road Bookstore and bought a copy of Mr. Fu Gengsheng's "Du Shi Analysis of Doubts".

After the 1981 college entrance examination, it was raining all the time. At noon on August 25, the clouds suddenly cleared and there was a sun in the blue sky. I was reading at home, and as soon as I looked up, Chen Jing, the accountant of the brigade (administrative village), came. Dressed in boots, pulling up his pants, and holding an umbrella, he carefully took a large envelope from his arms, saying that it was an acceptance letter from Lanzhou University. People gathered around to see me unending the envelope and sharing my joy. After he went, I learned that he was no one else, he was Chen Jingmin's younger brother. His intimacy and kindness have left me with unforgettable memories.

After going to college, I have been thinking about two sacred symbols buried in my heart: Xi'an People's Building and Chen Jingmin. In fact, he has long since ceased to work at the Xi'an People's Building. At the end of that year, when I returned home from visiting the Xumiao Market for the New Year, when I walked to the Choushui River, someone in my ear said that there was Chen Jingmin in the group in front of me. I looked for prestige, only to see a bunch of people moving on the slope, among whom the short and thin ones were clearly Chen Jingmin! I sped up my pace and tried to catch him, but I didn't. The road forked, Chen Jingmin stomped north, and I had to go all the way to the west. I will stand on my feet and perform the ritual of attention. The people who are with you, I said, opened Chen Jingmin, all the way to entering the village. They all said he was "alive". Some people have concluded that the living person is in a living word. Man lives, and everywhere he goes, he lives moist. I took this sentence to heart.

After graduating from university, I returned to Xi'an. For a long time, there was no news of Chen Jingmin. One year I went to visit a friend at the Xi'an People's Building, and I said to my friend, "Take a picture of me, just take the People's Building as the background!" After taking the picture, I explained with a smile: Xi'an People's Building was once a high standard for my dreams, and a person from the same village as me was named Chen Jingmin, who once worked here! A friend asked Chen Jingmin where he was sacred, and I honestly replied: "An extraordinary figure who once stimulated my dream to jump out of the farm!" I use the word "extraordinary", not that I have an "extraordinary" vision, but a way of speaking, and I like to express my thoughts and thoughts in my way.

Suddenly, one day, legend has it that a literary and miscellaneous grain house appeared in Xi'an City. Called a "literary hero", but like a "farmhouse", earth kang, soil panes, stone mills, stone mills, clay pots, pottery urns, spicy braids, garlic braids hanging on the wall, agricultural furniture is readily available, immersive, just like returning to the agricultural society. Naturally, eating is also a traditional rural food, oil spicy rice pot helmet, vinegar boiled potato shredded pancakes, dumplings, cold powder, corn fish and fish, mixed soup, wheat kernels, bun grain paste, think of, unexpected, everything. It is said that people are itchy in their hearts, their mouths are hungry, and they hate that they can't go immediately and enjoy a long-lost mouth blessing. Naturally, I have to think more in my heart: what kind of extraordinary person is that, and how can I have such an extraordinary idea? Bringing agricultural civilization into the modern metropolis is a big stroke of romanticism!

By the time I went to the house, Wenhao Miscellaneous Grain House already had a branch and became the scenery and signboard of Xi'an. I went to the one in the South Second Ring Road. The red-painted gate is first reminiscent of the giants and the doors of the mansions. Can't wait to go in, suddenly stepped into the ghost, people immediately have a sense of separation, familiar and hot eyes. The name is true, but where is it so intuitive, so realistic, and so intimate in front of you? The countryside has gradually drifted away, and with only one turn, it will turn back in time. The sleeping dream of the hometown is awakened, and the wandering soul finally finds a place to be safe in an instant, and naturally feels at home. Eating farm meals, thinking about farm affairs, can't help but inquire who the boss here is? The answer is Chen Jingmin! I plucked out my ears and asked, "Is it That Chen Jingmin in Lantian?" Got a positive answer. I laughed and said, "I know him!" Everyone around was amazed: "Do you know him?" I put pride on my face and said, "A village!" Later, he wondered to himself: Who gave him such a big inspiration? Taking "Wenhao" as the title is already extraordinary; taking miscellaneous grains as an article really requires the eyes and arrogance of "Wenhao". The so-called extraordinary shot, the Tao is the realm in front of you! Chen Jingmin is a living person, and he has truly lived out of the realm.

In fact, Chen Jingmin's realm exceeded the imagination of my generation. Just when wenhao miscellaneous grain houses went out of the provincial border and out of the national border, a new peach garden villa suddenly appeared on the Longshou Plain in Xi'an City. Immediately, further north, a peach garden of the Eastern Jin Dynasty appeared! It's natural. When I knew these two gardens, the whole city of Xi'an already knew. I remember the first time I heard that there was a new peach garden in the northern suburbs, I asserted that it must be Chen Jingmin's handwriting. It hardly takes any inquiry to confirm it. My reason is that to make the article in the peach garden, you have to have the same courage and strategy as the "literary hero". I have been to the New Peach Garden several times, and I have also been to the Eastern Jin Dynasty Peach Garden several times, and I have a lot of feelings. The short man who used to be one meter and six meters tall is now similar to his career, and he can't get out of control. He went all the way, all the way brilliant! Extraordinary energy, extraordinary courage, extraordinary imagination, extraordinary creativity, always produce extraordinary dreams, always write excellent articles! Nowadays, farms are blooming everywhere, and who can deny that its original servant is Chen Jingmin, the owner of the peach garden? With the opportunity of the fashion and fortune of the times, grasping the wind coordinates of the trend of civilization and culture, far ahead and so that followers can only look back, this is where Chen Jingmin is different from ordinary people!
On May 2, 2014, Kong Ming and Chen Jingmin met at the Lantian People's Ruins in Lantian Gongwangling, which is less than 10 miles from the Shangchen Ruins
Chen Jingmin is rarely seen, but he is always mentioned. The dragon sees the head and does not see the end, so there are many legends. So many people write about him, look at him horizontally, and always feel plausible. As the so-called "horizontal view into the ridge side into peaks, far and near the height is different." I have seen him several times in the past few years, and although I see flowers in the fog, I can feel his innate charm. Humorous, funny, mischievous, kind like a priest, peaceful like a gentleman, not like an entrepreneur. In the spring of 2006, he went to the Huxian Longwo Distillery to meet him, shook hands and accompanied him to see the Dragon King Well, the well side offered the statue of the Dragon King, he lit incense with his hands, inserted incense in his left hand, prayed three times, turned around and said: "Worship god is exquisite." Light the incense with both hands and insert the incense with the left hand. The left hand is a good hand, and the left hand is auspicious. The right hand is a vicious hand, holding a knife and a gun, killing people and setting fires, and wiping your ass, not clean! Everyone laughed. When he saw a mill, he pushed it, and while pushing it, he said, "The mill is a threshing machine, and the mill is the grinder." Walking to a pile of stone lions, he asked Jia Pingwo, "Do you know the mother-in-law?" Ping Concave said, "I don't know." "A bunch of people said they didn't know. He said, "There is nothing under the hooves of the male, the female, either stepping on the ball or stepping on the little lion." Everyone said, "Follow General Manager Chen, and I've seen it." "After a month, Ma Hesheng and I went to visit him in the New Peach Garden, and at the table, he talked and laughed and talked wittily. Speaking of reading, he said that he only read books by two people, one was Chairman Mao's and the other was Teacher Jia (Pingwo). Speaking of eating, he said: "There is money to buy abalone, but you can't buy appetite; there is money to buy beautiful clothes, but you can't buy temperament; there is money to buy Simmons, but you can't buy sleep; you have money to buy villas, but you can't buy themselves!" The world is right, delicious is better. "Say that everyone in the audience forgot to eat abalone.
At the door of Chen Jingmin's office, there is a self-written couplet: "Sheep are not tanned on the mountain; pigs are not white in the pen." Yokozuna: "I am what I am." "Pondering this pair, you can understand Chen Jingmin." Jia Pingwa said it well, he is an authentic "dragon people".
