Among China writers, Liu Zhenyun is the one who gets the most electric shock. Not only have the works been adapted a lot, but they have also played roles in person. Although there are not many shots, Liu Zhenyun's greatest achievement is to find the fun of film dialogue, and also to meet different people, such as directors, actors, photographers, and young people carrying props ...
Liu Zhenyun said with a smile that everyone around him is actually a philosopher, and their perspective of thinking about the world has a lot of inspiration for themselves.
Liu Zhenyun and his new book "One Day in Sanqiu"
Some people commented on his new work Sanqiu in a Day: Liu Zhenyun is a philosopher first, which is the fundamental reason why his literature is different.
The power of listening
On one occasion, Liu Zhenyun was communicating in a Dutch library. A reader stood up and said that she was laughing from beginning to end after reading "I am not Pan Jinlian". There was only one place where she cried, that is, when the protagonist Li Xuelian was not believed in what he said to everyone in the world, she began to say to a cow. Everyone is making fun of her, and she can only tell the cow: Do you believe that I am not a bad woman, do you want to sue or not? When telling this story, Liu Zhenyun added: There is a second cow listening to her. His name is Liu Zhenyun.
I believe this is the normal state of Liu Zhenyun, listening with the attitude and loyalty of a cow. When Li Xuelian's worries have nowhere to tell, he is listening; When he told readers what he heard from the heart through literature, he won more listening. This is the power of literature and listening.
Liu Zhenyun has many friends and has nothing to do with his career. He became friends with the fat man who sells fruit. The fat man can ask him to help move the fruit box, and he will also be invited to the big tent behind the fruit stand to taste jiaozi who just came out of the pot. He became friends with the Hubei master who nailed shoes. The master used to wear gloves to nail shoes. After sewing the zipper, he would polish it repeatedly with soap, which made the job look dignified. Decorating the house, he became friends with Lao Zhao, who sells stone. Lao Zhao only told him from the bottom of his heart: "As a stone seller, what can I do? I only have my heart."
This made Liu Zhenyun extremely moved. At that moment, he felt that he was the richest man in the world. Just like the new work "Sanqiu in One Day", Uncle Liu told me the stories of those paintings. After Uncle Liu's death, all the paintings were set on fire by Aunt Liu. In order to commemorate the past with my sixth uncle, "I" took the painting of my sixth uncle as the female parent and described Yanjin in the painting with a story.

In the past, I wrote because I felt I had something to say. Now, Liu Zhenyun has gradually discovered that what the characters in the works have to say is the most important thing. Therefore, his daily writing is actually listening, and listening gives him great freedom in writing.
Absurdity is more real than truth.
Early novels have hinted at Liu Zhenyun's later creative purpose: sketching real life and paying attention to the life situation of small people with realistic pen and ink. This is probably inevitable in Liu Zhenyun. For example, taking the high-speed train, he especially likes to take the second-class seat. Many people think it is too noisy. Some passengers will play their mobile phones loudly and children will run around, but Liu Zhenyun feels warm and he also likes to enjoy the aroma of instant noodles in the compartment.
But later, Liu Zhenyun's works were labeled as "realistic magic". In fact, the characters in the works live in a real and magical world. In Sanqiu One Day, Bright said to Hua Ernian, "People often cry their pillows in their dreams. Do you think this crying is true? People often laugh out loud in their dreams. Do you think this laugh is true? Sometimes it's true, it's more true than crying and laughing in life. " In "Hometown Noodles and Flowers", the author said through the mouth of Guo Laosan: "The world is changing with each passing day, and the patterns of relationships are endless, but when you think about it, everything is a play, and just now it is the protagonist. In a blink of an eye, it is a question of whether others will take you to play or not ..." Sanqiu in a Day simply lets the actors play directly. The three people who play Xu Xian, Bai Niangzi and Fa Hai in the Henan Opera Legend of the White Snake are entangled in reality, and the legend of the fairy flower Er Nian shuttles through paintings, legends and dreams, which makes "Sanqiu in one day" have the meaning of "three lives and three generations". This is a rare absurd drama; However, the biggest absurdity may be the biggest truth. Sometimes absurdity is more real than truth.
Living a lifetime has become a joke.
"Speaking words" is an unattainable realm. As Liu Zhenyun said in "One sentence is worth 10,000 sentences": "A person's loneliness is not lonely. A person looking for another person, one sentence looking for another sentence, is the real loneliness." Liu Zhenyun once took a trip to the capital of song dynasty as an example. They met at a crossroads. "Brother, where are you going?" Originally, they all went to the capital of song dynasty. Smoking, talking, and losing your temper, so go hand in hand. Walking, getting more familiar, I began to talk about my own troubles and things that were pressing on my heart. When we arrived in the capital of song dynasty, one went east and the other went west, and we bowed our hands and said goodbye. How many years have passed, and then I think of each other. That person may be thinking about it, "What happened to Lao Liu?"
"One sentence is worth ten thousand sentences" is divided into two parts. The upper part of "Going out to Yanjin" tells that Wu Moses, a farmer, lost his only adopted daughter on the road in order to find a wife who eloped with others, and had to go out to Yanjin in order to find an adopted daughter; The lower part of "Back to Yanjin" tells that Niu Aiguo, the son of Wu Mosi's adopted daughter Qiaoling, also went to Yanjin in order to find a wife who eloped with others. In "1942", Fan Wei plays the cook who is good at the squid baked noodles in Yanjin practice; In the movie "One sentence is worth 10,000 sentences", Fan Wei plays Lao Song or Yanjin's cook. The story of Chen Mingliang's father and son going out of Yanjin and returning to Yanjin is also recorded in his new work "One Day in Sanqiu".
Liu Zhenyun in his youth
His hometown is his holy land of literature. Starting from Tapu and Xinbinglian in the 1980s, Liu Zhenyun, a representative writer of neo-realism, walked all the way along his hometown. In his works, such as Yellow Flowers in My Hometown, Living in My Hometown, you can see the distant hometown, and Mobile Phone and My Name is Liu Yuejin are also set in Yanjin. This background color is more and more clear in Sanqiu in One Day. Chen Mingliang paid a lot of money to look for the door plaque of the jujube tree heart, which is also a complex of Yanjin, a bright homesickness complex that the writer keeps giving up. Three thousand years ago, the fairy flower Erniang of Leng Youzu lived in Yanjin, Henan Province, and went into people's dreams every night to beg jokes. She rewarded red persimmons for those who could tell jokes. Joke: A boring person will carry ErNian to drink hot soup. I don't know that Hua Ernian has turned into a mountain, and the mountain people are dying. Hua Ernian didn't know that her husband had been caught in the throat by a fishbone while listening to a joke, and was thrown into the Yellow River and drowned. Chen Mingliang's mother, Cherry, drifted down from the Yangtze River to Jiujiang after her death, and suddenly returned to the Song Dynasty. The joke she found in the Song Dynasty saved her life, because the terrifying also liked to listen to jokes-everyone suddenly realized that she seemed to have lived a joke all her life.
Liu Zhenyun tells the simplest life with jokes: there is nothing wrong with living as a joke. Between jokes and jokes, between people's jokes and finding jokes, it is the art of structure. In Liu Zhenyun's works, the focus of structure is better than the story, and how to tell the story is more important than the story itself. Sanqiu in a Day broke down the barriers of life. In the play, ghosts and gods on earth, heaven and earth, painting inside and outside, dreaming outside, reverse direction, rigorous structure and great tension. In addition to the plot and dialogue language, the hidden and rigorous structure in Sanqiu One Day shows the writer's ability to lift weights easily. No writing, his writing is a serial set, a twist, and a twist.
"Twist the bar" is Liu Zhenyun's statement. He tried to correct the "twisting" that emanated from the cracks in the bones by writing. Therefore, many times, his language is intertwined, but it is simple and plain. He is what he is, without showing off his skills and exaggerating. He uses simple language to build a wonderful artistic structure, but it reflects the profound truth behind the story.
Knowledge is the yardstick to test the author.
Liu Zhenyun likes reading The Analects of Confucius and studying it for dozens of times. He concludes that Confucius has three characteristics: First, Confucius is a mean person. "It's a pleasure to have friends coming from afar?" Because Confucius and the people around him have nothing to say. Mean people are knowledgeable, and behind the meanness, there is compassion for everyone. Second, Confucius was a great writer and thinker. He didn't talk about things in depth, but talked about profound things in daily life. This kind of realm is also great. Third, Confucius talked around, and after a long time, he didn't know where to go.
Liu Zhenyun speaks and writes novels in a roundabout way. In his concise and humorous narrative, simple stories become endless and people can't stop. He attributed his unique way of thinking and language to his ability to think deeply and persistently, which directly influenced his grandmother. The bright grandmother in Sanqiu One Day may have entrusted the writer's thoughts, while the previous Yellow Flowers in My Hometown simply wrote "Dedicated to my grandmother".
My grandmother is only 1.55 meters tall. When she was young, she was a big-name "star" in the local area. In Liu Zhenyun's eyes, her grandmother's fame is equivalent to Julia Roberts. It is not surprising that Julia became a star, because she is an actress. It is not easy for grandma to become a star. She is a long-term worker. At that time, she was cutting wheat in the field, and the wheat three miles long was cut to the waist. Her "transfer fee" is very high, like Ronaldo. Grandmother said, "Why do I cut faster than others? I know it's not straight. If you go straight for the first time, you want to go straight for the second time, and if you go straight for the second time, you will have the twentieth time. I know that I have to bend down to do everything, so I' cut faster than others'. " Liu Zhenyun said that his writing has learned a lot from his grandmother's philosophy.
