The Wandering Prodigal Son In April 1994, the young and vigorous Gu Qingsheng, with 2,000 yuan in his pocket and a 286 computer on his shoulder, left Huangshi and went to Beijing to work hard, dreaming of becoming a literary master like Shen Congwen and Lu Xun.
At that time, the Chinese literary world was experiencing an urban trend, with urban novels and urban romance dramas becoming popular.
Gu Qingsheng, who had a mountainous atmosphere, was dumbfounded.
I write novels and essays about rural areas and mining. The novella "Ancient Alley", which was reprinted in the fifth issue of the Novel Monthly in 1992, is about life in the mines, and it slanders the feasting urban life and urban culture. How can I
Establishing a foothold in Beijing city?
Gu Qingsheng thought about this for a long time and decided to reduce his writing of novels and focus on prose. Short prose is required by newspapers, magazines and publishing houses, which is very beneficial to survival.
During the day, he wrote hard, including essays, novels and film reviews.
After arriving in Beijing, Gu Qingsheng wrote prose based on his wandering experiences and emotions. These prose were compiled into a book "The Transformation of Men" and published. This was his first book in Beijing. This book was subsequently reprinted and reprinted in Beijing.
caused a great response.
Beijing TV station came to give him an exclusive interview, and the Beijing media began to call him China's number one homeless writer and freelance writer.
Since then, Gu Qingsheng has published one to two books a year.
Since I had nothing to do and no inspiration to write about, I occasionally tried food writing, but never stopped writing.
Eight books of food essays were published at once, and four were released in 2008.
The angry knight's free nature and unruly personality destined Gu Qingsheng to be an out-and-out "angry".
In addition to making a living from essays and novel manuscripts, in 1996, two years after entering Beijing, Gu Qingsheng collaborated with friends to write a current affairs book "China Can Say No". This book made Gu Qingsheng popular at the time.
After a while, many people began to pay attention to this provincial wanderer, including the Associated Press, Agence France-Presse, United Press, Reuters, etc. Until the September 11 incident in the United States, these famous world news agencies still called
Interview Gu Qingsheng and ask him to comment on the incident.
Gu Qingsheng's sharp writing also points to the academic corruption in the Chinese literary world.
On February 24, 2006, the famous critic Bai Ye posted on Sina blog an article originally published in "The Great Wall" magazine "The Current Situation and Future of Post-80s Generations".
The article commented that Han Han's works are "increasingly unrelated to literature" and criticized the "post-80s generation". Generally speaking, the writing of the "post-80s generation" is not literary writing, and at best it can only be regarded as "fancier" writing in literature.
