The text is short and plain, the writing is refined to the realm of painting every sentence, the language returns to the simplest household words, and the emotion returns to the truest. The article returns to the article itself, no longer wearing heavy makeup, everything is faint, but it is distant and deep.

Only heroes can be true colors

It is true celebrities who love themselves

Wang Lao's works are leisurely and humorous to read; And his life is even more humorous and interesting.

Happiness is a kind of ability and advanced wisdom, and Wang Lao is a person with such great wisdom!

Every time he finds pleasure in life, he writes it down and passes it on to us, and every time he writes it, it shocks four people. There is a saying circulating in the readers' circle: "Many people don't know him, but they love him if they know." Jia Pingwa, Mo Yan, Acheng, Su Tong and other literary works all highly admire him! And the evaluation is extremely high!

Jia Pingwa commented on him in a poem like this: "It is a fox, and it is cultivated into an old essence."

in mo Yan's view, "Mr. Wang is a master of short stories, who has visited the literary world all over, and few people can have his relaxed mentality." Even Acheng, a child prodigy, said, "Wang Zengqi's vernacular sentences are refined, and they are handy."

In Su Tong's eyes, Wang Zengqi is a "great demeanor" and a "shining treasure in China's literary treasure house"!

Shi Hang said, "There are many lovely old men in this world, but such loveliness is rare."

Yes, Wang Lao is a lovely "old urchin". He is greedy for eating, drinking, watching and playing, and he is greedy for all the good things in the world.

There is a small city in northern Jiangsu-Gaoyou, which is a water town, beside the canal with flowing water.

Wang Zengqi was born in the reed marshes in Gaoyou, his hometown

On March 5, 192, it coincided with the Lantern Festival.

Born and raised in Sri Lanka, Wang Zengqi's life has always been lively with clarity, transparency, interest and self-restraint.

Although he was born in turmoil and lost his mother at the age of 3, he spent his childhood and adolescence in joy and happiness because of the care of his father and stepmother.

Wang Zengqi's talent as a child made his grandfather proud: "If you were in the Qing Dynasty, you could have won a scholar!" That year, Wang Zengqi was only 13 years old.

in many of Wang Lao's works, the father is mentioned most. He once said, "I miss my father, and I still often dream about him in my dreams and miss my childhood.".

He has worshipped his father all his life. His father's talent and disposition have hung a warm lamp since Wang Zengqi was a teenager.

Wang Zengqi's father, Wang Jusheng

His father, Wang Jusheng, is versatile and a very interesting person. He is good at painting, engraving seals, playing the pipa and playing the huqin, playing boxing, loving music, cooking, boxing, horizontal bar gymnastics, treating diseases from generation to generation, and making lanterns and kites, which has brought endless happiness to his childhood.

Wang Zengqi once wrote "Father and son became brothers for many years", which was said by his father.

When I was a child, my father often accompanied him to fly kites, and even used the most expensive string to make kites, such as strings and intestines. It was said that the kite string would not bend.

In his teens, Wang Zengqi learned to drink and smoke. When my father drinks, he pours him a cup. When smoking, two cigarettes are taken out at a time, one for each father and son, and the son is always lit first. .

At the age of seventeen, Wang Zengqi was in love. During the summer vacation, he wrote love letters to his favorite girls at home, while his father gave him advice ...

Wang Zengqi inherited most of his fun from his father.

Thanks to his father's generosity, Wang Zengqi had a lot of freedom since he was a child. He wandered around the east and looked around the west all day, sometimes accompanied by plants, flowers and birds, sometimes went to the riverside to see fish and swim, and sometimes wandered around various shops facing the street ...

He said, "There are many things in the world, and it is very interesting to think about them." In his eyes, the whole world is full of interesting things.

After 19 years of such carefree life, Wang Zengqi is going to college. He was admitted to the Literature Department of China, The National SouthWest Associated University. Why do you think he applied for this university?

Because he heard that classes and exams here are very casual, and he still goes for fun and freedom.

"I filled in The National SouthWest Associated University in the application form, but I just heard that the study style of these three universities, especially Peking University, is very free. Students can play around casually in classes and exams, so I just play around. What am I looking for? Looking for chic. "

These are the original words of Wang Zengqi in Seven Years of Clouds. (Note: The National SouthWest Associated University, a comprehensive university jointly established by Peking University, Tsinghua University and Nankai University during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, was originally located in Changsha and later moved to Kunming, Yunnan Province, and was named "National Southwest Associated University" or "The National SouthWest Associated University" for short. )

At that time, Wang Zengqi was unpredictable. This seemingly random decision made him happy all his life, and also made Kunming and The National SouthWest Associated University become inseparable concerns in his life.

In The National SouthWest Associated University, everyone knows that there is a young man Wang Zengqi from Gaoyou, Jiangsu Province. He lives casually and freely. He attends classes when he is happy and sleeps when he is unhappy. He seldom takes notes in class. He often skips classes, skips Zhu Ziqing's classes, and even skips Yiduo's classes, going to the teahouse or the library? . For classes that are not of interest, I never go, my studies are in a mess, and mathematics, English and physical education are not put on the table.

no teacher has a headache when he meets such a student. It happened that Shen Congwen favored him, and his composition was out of 1. Shen Congwen gave him 12 directly, not afraid of his pride, but also boasted everywhere: "His novels are better than mine."

Wang Zengqi when he was young

In those four handsome years, he took "partiality" to the extreme-he went further in writing and won numerous praises; But also because English is so poor that I can't graduate.

In the end, Wang Zengqi didn't get The National SouthWest Associated University's diploma either, but this didn't prevent him from becoming an outstanding writer.

Many years later, when he recalled those years, he said, "If I hadn't read The National SouthWest Associated University, I might not have become a writer. At least I won't be a writer like this. "

The National SouthWest Associated University, who didn't ask students to be obedient and encouraged students to be individual, free and open, released Wang Zengqi's innate aura.

After leaving university, Wang Zengqi worked as a teacher in a "China Jianshe Middle School" in Kannonji, a northern suburb of Kunming. It was there that Wang Zengqi met his future wife, Shi Songqing.

Shi Songqing is also a student in The National SouthWest Associated University. Now they have become colleagues again. Naturally, they have become closer, and their feelings have been warming up day and night. Finally, they have established a love relationship. One love is a lifetime. That year, Wang Zengqi was 25 and Shi Songqing was 27.

Shi Songqing was born with fine features and always fell ill, so her classmates at the United University called her "Lin Daiyu".

Wang Zengqi and his wife Shi Songqing

Although Wang Lao rarely mentions his wife in his works, he has been in love with his wife all his life outside his works, and they have been hand in hand for nearly half a century.

Wang Zengqi's family is always full of love and warmth, whether it is family of origin or the family he manages seriously with his wife, which has also made him free and easy all his life.

No matter what his life is like, the interest and elegance in his bones are always there, and he always has a naive love for life.

on his seventy-third birthday, he wrote: "reminiscence of the past is like a drizzle, and rereading old books is like a spring tide. White hair ruthlessly invades the old age, and the blue light has a taste of remembering childhood. "

some people are cuter as they get older. Wang Lao's loveliness is his innocence and loveliness. As I grew older and learned more, my sincerity became more and more obvious, and people became more and more innocent and lovely.

On May 16th, 1997, 77-year-old Wang Zengqi woke up in the hospital. Five days ago, he had a massive hemorrhage in his esophagus.

Before leaving, he wanted to have a sip of tea, so he "spoiled" the doctor and said, "Your majesty, please give me a drink."

The doctor nodded, and he called his youngest daughter, Wang Chao, "Give me a cup of green and bright Longjing!"

Before his daughter brought the bright Longjing, he closed his eyes peacefully. He didn't drink the green Longjing after all. That was his last words to the world.

Before his death, Wang Zengqi was asked to sum himself up in one sentence. He thought about it and said, "I am probably a Chinese lyrical humanitarian."

It is this temperament that makes him smell a touch of hard-working, honest, light-sweet and slightly bitter life, and also becomes a man with a pure heart.

this is no less than idealism in the ups and downs. As transparent as Wang Zengqi, he is still willing to love the world after seeing all kinds of human beings.

eating in all directions is just a bowl of fireworks

Wang Zengqi is a famous foodie among writers. Some people say that he is "the best eater among writers and the best writer among chefs".

As an advanced foodie, the most powerful thing about Wang Zengqi is that he not only likes to eat, knows how to eat, knows how to cook, but also knows how to write about food. He is a writer who writes delicious food to the extreme.

reading about eating in his works is just like reading China on the tip of the tongue. Mr. Chen Xiaoqing, director of China on the Tip of the Tongue, said: "The filming of China on the Tip of the Tongue was greatly influenced by Wang Zengqi's food culture."

Some readers joked that "when you are hungry, you dare not read Wang Lao's articles at all". Because he always shows all kinds of delicious food in his works: radish, cucumber, pickles, fish, tofu, leek flower, hand-cooked meat, double yellow duck eggs in his hometown, bean juice in Beijing, Hunan bacon, Malantou in the south of the Yangtze River, hand-cooked meat in Shuofang, boletus in Kunming, steamed chicken ... < P > He talks about eating it as usual, but reads it. No matter where he goes, what Wang Zengqi misses most is the local food. Because he has eaten all over the world and is good at observing, an inconspicuous ingredient is often described by him in a particularly delicate way, which makes people drool.

His Duck Eggs at Dragon Boat Festival has brought goods to salted duck eggs in Gaoyou, his hometown for more than ten years: "When you break the corner of the duck egg, as soon as the chopstick head goes down, cheep-red oil comes out." My mouth is watering.

When he was studying in The National SouthWest Associated University in his early years, his true nature of eating food was vividly displayed.

In his spare time, he often sneaks into a street pub, orders a plate of pig's head meat and a pot of wine, and enjoys it beautifully. Or go to the market stalls to eat boiled chicken, and also call it "sitting and eating cold chicken".

In his sophomore year, Wang Zengqi suffered the first lovelorn in his life and shut himself in the house. He had planned to go on a hunger strike to pay homage to his love. After sleeping for two days and nights, he found that he was too hungry to stand it. Zhu Dexi, a good friend, went to visit him with a dictionary, so they sold the dictionary in the street and changed two bowls of delicious rice noodles. After eating, the pain of lovelorn has been swept away.

He said that he wrote so many delicious foods just to make people feel that life is really good!

People who love food are often people who love life. As he said, everything has a heart and the world has a taste.

He can get the most delicious taste from home cooking, and even the most difficult experience becomes the seasoning of life in his works, and finally becomes full of flavor.

write all the interesting things in the world with a wonderful pen

It's really hard to find such an interesting old man with a childlike heart!

Mao Mu said: "A person can observe the fallen leaves, feel ashamed of flowers, and appreciate everything from the details, but life can't treat him like anything." Wang Lao is probably such a person. Because his soul is interesting, he has love and sees the light.
