1. Carefree childhood
1920 Lantern Festival, spring is chilly, Gaoyou, a water town in northern Jiangsu, where a well-known Wang family welcomed a baby boy, later named Wang Zengqi.
His family is an old-fashioned landlord family, and his family business was almost founded by his grandfather with his bare hands. There are more than 2,000 mu of fields alone, but his grandfather lives a simple life and likes to drink. The dining table is just a salted duck egg. His Analects of Confucius and Preliminary Eight-Part Essay were both taught by his grandfather himself.
Grandma likes him very much. When enjoying the cool in the yard in summer, she would lie on the bamboo bed and tell him stories and sing old songs.
When he was three years old, his mother died of lung disease, so he had no impression of her at all and could only look at her from her portrait.
My father is an extremely clever and interesting creator with many hobbies, such as martial arts, eye protection, painting, carving seals, making China seals, hiding stones and playing various musical instruments. My favorite is Hu Qin.
Father is a "child leader". In spring, he will lead a group of children to fly kites in the field. These kites are centipedes pasted by his father himself. In autumn, we will buy small watermelons, hollow out the pulp, carve patterns on the skin, and light candles inside to make watermelon lanterns, just to make the children happy for one night.
His father never criticizes him for his poor grades in math, as long as he passes.
In junior high school, he liked singing opera. At home, his father plays the piano and he sings Tsing Yi. /kloc-When he was 0/7 years old, he wrote a love letter to his first love, but his father didn't blame him. Instead, he gave advice.
As a teenager, he learned to drink and smoke. When father drinks, he will also pour him a cup. If you smoke, you will also take out two, one for each person. His father said to him, "We have been brothers for many years."
In the water town, he accompanied his family, and his family accompanied him until the eve of the college entrance examination.
2. Kunming seven-year cloud
1939, he left home with his luggage to study in Kunming, which lasted for several years.
When he first arrived in Kunming, he was infected with falciparum malaria. On the day of the exam, he only drank a bowl of seaweed and egg soup and floated into the examination room. I failed in the exam and was admitted to the first choice: China Literature Department of National Southwest Associated University.
Most of my classmates came to The National SouthWest Associated University to find the truth, but he came to play. He was looking for chic.
He hardly takes notes in class, often skips classes, reads books at night and sleeps during the day, which has become the main theme of his college life. Of course, he can often be seen in teahouses and gourmet shops in Kunming.
The essence of eating goods can be seen in universities. If he has more money, he and his classmates will go to Zhengyi Road to eat steamed chicken "Xiuyi", go to Dongyue Building to eat fried mullet and chicken legs with sauce, and go to Houdefu to eat iron pot eggs and fermented bean curd from Songhelou.
If you have no money, go to the rice noodle shop to eat rice noodles and bait slices. If you really can't, just have a meal at school.
He has just been to Kunming for two years. Every three days, the alarm is pulled at both ends, and everyone goes to the suburbs. On the way, if he sees pine trees, he must stop to see if there are any pine balls falling on the ground. If they are ripe, he will break the petals and eat them.
He is Shen Congwen's favorite student. On one occasion, he wrote a novel based on dialogue, which was full of philosophy. He thinks he's good. As a result, Shen Congwen said, "You are not talking, but two clever skulls are fighting." Only then did he know that the truth and simplicity of the dialogue between the characters is the closest to the characters.
During college, he also played the old watchman of Ba Jin's family. The dark and bitter voice of the old watchman made Zong Pu, who was watching the play at that time, still remember it 40 years later.
After leaving university, he taught in a middle school run by National Southwest Associated University for two semesters. It was at this time that Mr. Shen sent the School Bell and Revenge, which he wrote several years ago.
Here, he also met the stone that accompanied him all his life. She is also an alumnus of National Southwest Associated University. It is said that she was fascinated by his talent at first sight. A talented person and a beautiful woman get married soon and live hand in hand.
I am happy about this.
1958 was wrongly classified as a rightist and sent to an agricultural science research institute. He wrote in "Let it be" that "I was lucky enough to be a rightist once. Otherwise, my life will be more dull. "
Before leaving home, he left a note for his wife: "Wait for me for five years, and then come back when I am reformed."
In those years, he did most of the farm work, raised pig pens, scraped frozen manure, and was able to carry 170 kilograms of grain steadily on the slope. Work with agricultural workers during the day and sleep with them at night. The novel A Night in the Sheep House and the prose The Grape Moon Order also come from this experience.
When he meets entertainment activities, he uses dramatic watercolors to make up actors and sensationalize the audience.
At the "Potato Research Station", he drew a set of "China Potato Atlas" at the request of the Institute. After eating, he threw the potatoes into the fire and baked them. Draw potatoes during the day and read in the dim light at night.
It was not until 1979 that he completely took off his right hat. Someone asked him how he came over for so many years, and he replied, "Let it be."
He said, "The encounter is an unfavorable situation, and security is also a last resort. In that case, why not open some? Life is still very fun. "
"Ten years of chaos, a dream in the city, sit and eat tea with Jun 'an. "He is not talking about yourself?
enjoy life
In his later years, his father's hobbies were nothing more than writing, painting and cooking. He thinks writing is his happiest time, but he also thinks that you can't write from morning till night, otherwise it will become a writing machine.
When he goes to a new place, his favorite place is the vegetable market. In the process of buying vegetables, he has a plan. He thinks that cooking can change his body posture and is good for his health. At that time, he wrote the best articles among chefs and was also a scholar who cooked Chinese food well.
He painted flowers, and once drew a peony for Zong Pu, with the inscription "There is a corner in the world, so we can talk about flowers. Happy and complacent, not * * * Chicheng Xia. " Zong Pu's father, Mr. Feng Youlan, read it and said, "There is someone in the poem." I think the person in the poem is the painter himself.
Zong Pu wrote in the essay "Three Paintings": "A person with temperament may not write an article, but a person who writes a good article must have a true temperament. Wang Zengqi's plays, poems, essays and paintings all contain a true temperament. "
1May, 997, Wang Lao passed away. As Lu Xun said, "Some people are dead, but they are still alive." His philosophical attitude towards life and literary works will still affect future generations.
"Tianhe Nanshan, weeds and filth are not cured. Plant a hectare of beans and they will be preserved. When you have to be rich and happy in life. " He said that such a chic life is exactly what he appreciates. However, isn't his life a true portrayal of this poem?
