Shi Hang said: "There are many lovely old people in this world, but such lovely ones are rare."
Yes, Wang Lao is a lovely "old urchin". He is greedy for food, drink, watch and play, and covet all the beauty in the world.
There is a small town in northern Jiangsu-Gaoyou, a water town, next to a canal with long flowing water.
Wang Zengqi is among the reeds in Gaoyou, his hometown.
1March 5, 920, which coincides with the Lantern Festival, Wang Zengqi was born here.
Wang Zengqi was born and raised in Sri Lanka. His life has always been lively, clear, transparent, interesting and cultured.
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 from childhood made his grandfather very proud: "If you had been in the Qing Dynasty, you would have won the top prize!" " That year, Wang Zengqi was only 13 years old.
Among Wang Lao's many works, his father is mentioned the most. He once said, "I miss my father. I still often dream about him in my dreams and miss my childhood."
He worshipped his father all his life, and his father's talent and disposition hung a warm lamp from Wang Zengqi's youth.
Wang Zengqi's father, Wang Jusheng
His father, Wang Jusheng, is versatile and very interesting: he is good at painting, carving stamps, playing the pipa, playing the huqin, playing fists, loving music, cooking, boxing, horizontal bar gymnastics, treating diseases from his family, making lanterns and kites, which has brought endless happiness to his childhood.
Wang Zengqi once wrote an article "Father and Son Become 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 made kites with the most expensive thread, such as thread and intestines. It is said that kite string can't bend.
When he was a teenager, Wang Zengqi learned to drink and smoke. When my father drinks, he pours him a glass. When smoking, take out two cigarettes at a time, one for father and one for son, and the son always lights them first. .
At the age of seventeen, Wang Zengqi made his debut. During the summer vacation, he wrote a love letter to the girl he liked at home, and his father gave him advice. ...
Wang Zengqi's interests are mostly inherited from his father.
Because of his father's generosity, Wang Zengqi had a lot of freedom since he was a child. He wandered around all day, sometimes accompanied by plants, flowers and birds, sometimes went to the river to watch fish swim, and sometimes wandered between various shops along the street. ...
He said: "There are many things in the world, and it is interesting to think about them." In his eyes, the whole world is full of interesting things.
After a carefree life of 19 years, Wang Zengqi is going to college. China Literature Department of National Southwest Associated University. Why do you think he applied to this university?
Because he heard that classes and exams here are very casual, he still went for fun and freedom.
"I filled in the National Southwest Associated University on the application form. I just heard that the study style of these three universities, especially Peking University, is very free. Students are free to take exams in class and can play at will. I'm just having fun. What am I looking for? Looking for chic. "
These are the original words of Wang Zengqi in "Cloud Seven Years". (Note: National Southwest Associated University was a comprehensive university jointly founded by Peking University, Tsinghua University and Nankai University in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period. It was originally located in Changsha and later moved to Kunming, Yunnan, and was named "National Southwest Associated University" or "National Southwest Associated University" for short. )
Wang Zengqi at that time was unpredictable. This seemingly arbitrary decision made him happy all his life, and also made Kunming and The National SouthWest Associated University become his lifelong concerns.
In The National SouthWest Associated University, everyone knows that there is a young Wang Man Zeng Qi from Gaoyou, Jiangsu. He lives casually and freely. Attend classes when you are happy, sleep when you are unhappy, take few notes in class, often skip classes, Zhu Ziqing's class, a flower's class. Does he go to the teahouse or the library? . I never go to classes that I'm not interested in, and my study is a mess. Math, English and PE are all off the table.
No teacher meets such a student with a headache. However, Shen Congwen favored him, with a full score of 100. Shen Congwen gave him 120 directly, not afraid of his pride, but also boasted everywhere: "His novels are better than mine."
Wang Zengqi in his youth
In those four handsome years, he took "eccentricity" to the extreme-he went further in writing and won numerous praises; I can't graduate because of my poor English.
In the end, Wang Zengqi didn't get The National SouthWest Associated University's diploma, but that didn't prevent him from becoming an excellent writer.
Many years later, he recalled those years and said, "If I hadn't studied at National Southwest Associated University, I might not have become a writer. At least I won't be such a writer. "
The national The National SouthWest Associated University, which does not require students to be obedient and encourages students to be individual, free and open, has released Wang Zengqi's innate aura.
After graduating from college, Wang Zengqi worked as a teacher in the "China Jianshe Middle School" in Kannongji, a northern suburb of Kunming. It was there that Wang Zengqi met his future wife Shi.
Shi is also a student in The National SouthWest Associated University. Now they are colleagues again. Naturally, it will be closer, and sooner or later, the feelings will heat up. Finally, determine a love relationship. One love is a lifetime. That year, Wang Zengqi was 25 years old and Shi was 27 years old.
Shi was born with fine features, but he was always ill. All the students at the meeting called her "Lin Daiyu".
Wang Zengqi and his wife Shi
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.
Whether it is from a family or his wife's family, Wang Zengqi's family is always full of love and warmth, which has also made him free and easy all his life.
No matter what life is like, the interest and elegance in his bones have always been there, and he has always had a naive love for life.
On his seventy-third birthday, he wrote: "The past is like a drizzle, and old books are like spring tides. White hair mercilessly invades the old, and blue light has the taste of recalling childhood. "
Some people get cuter as they get older. Wang Lao's cuteness is his innocence and cuteness. With the increase of age and knowledge, my sincerity is becoming more and more obvious, and people are becoming more and more innocent and lovely.
1May 1997 16, 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: "Your majesty is mighty, please give me a sip."
The doctor nodded. He called his little daughter Wang Chao: "Give me a cup of green and bright Longjing!"
He closed his eyes peacefully before his daughter brought the bright Longjing tea. He didn't drink Green Longjing after all. That was the last thing he said to the world.
Before his death, Wang Zengqi was asked to sum himself up in one sentence. He thought for a moment and said, "I am probably a lyrical humanitarian in China."
It is this kind of temperament that makes him smell a little hard-working, frank, faint sweet, sour, bitter and spicy life, and also becomes a pure person.
This is no less than idealism in ups and downs. As transparent as Wang Zengqi, he is still willing to love the world after seeing all the world.
Eating in all directions is just a bowl of fireworks.
Wang Zengqi is a famous gourmet among writers. Some people say that he is "the best writer among writers and the best writer among chefs".
As a veteran foodie, the best thing about Wang Zengqi is that he not only likes eating, but also knows how to eat, how to cook and how to write delicious food. He is a writer who writes delicious food to the extreme.
Watching him eat is like watching 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: "I dare not read Wang Lao's articles when I am hungry." . Because he always shows all kinds of delicious food in his works: radish, cucumber, pickles, fish, tofu, leeks, cooked meat, double yellow duck eggs in his hometown, bean juice in Beijing, bacon in Hunan, Malantou in the south of the Yangtze River, cooked meat in Shuo Fang, boletus in Kunming and steamed chicken. ...
He talks about eating as usual, but he never gets tired of reading it. Wherever he goes, what Wang Zengqi misses most is the local food. Because he eats all over the world and is good at observing, an inconspicuous ingredient is often described by him as particularly delicate and makes people drool.
His "Dragon Boat Festival Duck Egg" has been bringing goods to salted duck eggs in his hometown Gaoyou for more than ten years: "Break a corner of the duck egg, drop the chopsticks, and cheep-red oil will come out." My mouth is watering.
When I was studying at the National Southwest Associated University in my early years, the true nature of eating food was revealed.
In his spare time, he often sneaked into the pub on the street, ordered a plate of pig's head meat and a pot of wine, and enjoyed it beautifully; Or go to a market stall to eat boiled chicken, which is also called "sitting and eating cold chicken".
In his sophomore year, Wang Zengqi suffered his first lovelorn life and shut himself in the house. He had planned a hunger strike to show his respect for love. After sleeping for two days and nights, he found himself too hungry to stand. Good friend Zhu visited him with a dictionary, so they sold dictionaries in the street and exchanged 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, just as he said: everything has a heart and the world has a taste.
He can eat the most delicious home cooking in the world. No matter how hard it is, it has become the spice of life in his works, and finally it has become full of flavor.
Write the fun of everything in the world with a wonderful pen
Searching the literary world, it is really hard to find such an interesting old man, a pure heart!
Mao Mu said: "A person can observe fallen leaves, be ashamed of flowers, and appreciate everything in detail, but life can't treat him like anything." Wang Lao is probably such a person. Because his soul is interesting, he has love, he sees the light and himself, and his life will flourish!
Everything is spiritual and beautiful. Wang Lao has a pair of eyes to discover beauty, loves life, never feels depressed, inorganic and has few worldly concerns; Live with interest, have affection for everything in the world, and observe carefully. An ordinary scene, through Wang Lao's perspective, looks naive.
What he writes is trivial and plain, but full of aura, interesting and natural, and has a charm that others can't copy! Happiness and sadness can be expressed in interesting and simple words, so that you really have a sense of take-off when reading his books! That's interesting! It's too light! It feels like the whole person has been cured!
Vegetation on Earth is a collection of essays that instinctively represents Wang Lao's style. Full of life breath, it is a "leisurely" life sketch. From one fruit and one dish, flowers, birds, insects and fish to the change of seasons, from the old people's past events, travel experiences to local conditions and customs? From travel notes to study time in The National SouthWest Associated University, from life to life.
Wang Lao does whatever he wants, thinks and writes. A bunch of trivial things have become interesting legends in his pen! In these words, the truth, goodness and beauty in human nature are extremely warm. Between the lines, he fully reveals his deep attachment to trivial matters, local customs and memories of old life scenes.
Life is fun, which contains the essence of Wang Lao's prose. It is divided into three parts: flavor, vegetation and spring and autumn, and shows Wang Lao's life interest and attitude from food, plants and old things.
"Life is fun" is also a famous saying of Wang Lao, which represents his attitude towards life. He wrote everything with a pure heart.
"We have all kinds of trauma, but we should be happy today."
Although Wang Lao's articles are full of love for life, behind the words, he has experienced numerous hardships and setbacks and suffered various unfair treatments, but he does not write them. He said: "I hope my work can benefit the people of the world. I hope that it can nourish people's hearts and make people feel that life is beautiful, people are beautiful and poetic. "
The tears of the times have been written by enough people. What Wang Zengqi wants to express more is the tiny and real beauty in life and the pursuit of beauty.
Their generation was forced into the whirlpool of fate, and was always washed and tempered by suffering involuntarily. Nevertheless, he always maintained a calm and broad-minded attitude and created a positive, optimistic and poetic literary life.
Wang Zengqi lost his mother at the age of three. 24 years old, didn't graduate from college. At the age of 26, he couldn't find a job. At the age of 28, he relied on his girlfriend for relief. In his prime, he was disturbed by the world. He was separated from his family in the war, so depressed that he almost committed suicide!
Wang Zengqi in his youth
He wandered around and spent a bleak decade, working as a museum clerk, writing plays and working as a handyman under writers Lao She and Zhao Shuli. ...
You may not know that 90% of Wang Lao's essays and novels were written after the age of 60. Some people think that Wang Zengqi's fame is an unexpected gain in the literary world, but it is actually natural. This kind of nature is the experience and thinking of life, and the meticulous observation and experience of life.
He turned the ups and downs of life into a deep pen, and wrote tenderness and romance in the fireworks of the world. As he said in Slow Cooking Life: "You are very tired, sit down and have a rest, drink a cup of lukewarm tea and look at some of my works."
The precipitation of life experience has made him more broad-minded and indifferent, and he feels that there is nothing in the world that he can't pass! Looking back many years later, he smiled: "Life is like a dream, but I have devoted myself to the truth."
He always swallows suffering alone and only talks about the beauty and warmth of the world. No matter what cards fate dealt him, good or bad, he always played a good hand. Spend every miserable day calmly and happily.
In his writing, we can't see a trace of complaint and lament. As he himself said, "No matter where you go, you should have some fun and find a way to live. You are always sad. Why? ? "
Yes, there has never been a smooth life, only in various living situations to constantly find hope, find fun, and live seriously. Every seemingly dull day is an unrepeatable happiness. Only by having a heart that has been true and pure for many years can we live a good life.
Wang Lao said: love is an unprofessional thing, not a skill, not an ability, but a growth like flowers and trees, a love and persistence in time and season. We must love something, which makes us tough, tolerant and full.
We will all inevitably grow up. There are many difficulties in the adult world, and there will be countless moments when we are disheartened. This is life, and we must always learn to heal ourselves. It is better to focus on the small lucky and beautiful things in life and slowly reconcile with yourself and the world. Forget what you have lost, be grateful for what you have and look forward to what will come. Work hard all your life, be loved all your life, have what you want, put down what you can't get, be grateful for everything, like beauty, and like yourself who works hard.
When you find yourself tired, lazy and disheartened, you might as well read Wang Lao's works and find out his endless passionate love for everything in the world. Then, learn from him, continue to live hard and continue to love the world. Make every ordinary life interesting; Let every miserable day blossom.
Everything in the world is affectionate, the smell of the world is pure joy, the world is a beautiful place, and there is love in the world. Let's love something and live in this precious world! There is no need to rush to grab, there is always a kind of happiness that belongs to you alone, waiting for you.
Starlight does not ask travelers, and time pays off.
