The gate of literature is in a small ravine called Sigou Village in Wubao, Shaanxi Province, which was built by Liu Qing's works. More than 2 Chinese and foreign versions of Liu Qing's works, such as The History of Entrepreneurship, The Story of Planting Valley, The Iron Wall, and more than 16 tons of stone, take the traditional Chinese character "door" as the image and form a unique literary door layer by layer.
In early winter, I entered this special gate and approached Liu Qing.
I remember Liu Qing because of his History of Entrepreneurship. The History of Entrepreneurship was written in the 195s, and its literary brilliance was still brilliant when I was in college in the 198s. This time, at the Liuqing Literature Museum, looking at his yellow manuscripts and different versions, I tried to enter his creative world at that time. For Liu Qing, the difficulty in writing the History of Entrepreneurship is a major life transcendence. All accumulation, all creation and all persistence have created a milestone in his writing history.
In Liu Qing's works, the main character image of A History of Entrepreneurship was called Yang Shengbin in the first three drafts, and it was not until the fourth draft that it became Liang Shengbao. More than 6 years later, Liang Shengbao, a typical figure, still exudes a rich and fresh earthy atmosphere. According to Liu Qing's own statement, the writer's writing is "really like a pole, carrying life at one end and skills at the other". Indeed, a native of Liu Qing, many of his skills are figured out by himself, which is really too difficult. I can imagine that he often walks around the room with his hands behind his back, holding a cigarette, trying to figure out the language, characters, details and structure. In order to borrow an English version of anna karenine, he walked 16 miles back and forth on the mountain road, and late at night on his way back, he also met a wolf. Liu Qing's daughter, Liu Kefeng, revealed in Liu Qing's Biography that the first part of Entrepreneurship has gone through four drafts. The contents of the first and second drafts are a little thin, but the third draft is refreshing to read, and the content is much richer, and the psychology and emotions of the characters are vividly on the paper. By the fourth draft, it was carefully crafted and the content was more substantial. Every word and sentence were carefully thought out. The fourth draft, only one chapter of "Preface" was written for eight months, while the other chapters in the book took one month in each draft. When the first book was published, it was also called "The Storm of Rice Fields", and it was not renamed "The History of Entrepreneurship" until eight months after serialization.
I sigh that Liu Qing really goes deep into life, no, it should be sneaking in. Few writers can achieve Liu Qing's approach to life. Like a screw, he lived in the ancient temple of Huangfu Village in the south of Xi 'an for 14 years. If there is no long-term immersion with the countryside, farmers and land, there will be no History of Entrepreneurship. Liu Kefeng recalled this: Before coming to Huangfu Village, Liu Qing took off four pockets of cadres' clothes and put on a peasant-style double-breasted coat. A stranger would never say that he was not a farmer.
The picture of Liu Qing in front of me is a double-breasted coat, wearing glasses, and a thick beard on the lower lip is short and powerful, leaning on a crutch. This is the standard image that Liu Qing gave us. Liu Qing is not old. Why should she be on crutches? His body is too weak, and the lung disease from childhood has been bothering him. However, even if his health is so bad, he still has ordinary people in his heart. If there is anything in the village, the villagers' first thought is to find Liu Qing. He never gets bored. He knows that the blood of farmers is already flowing in his body, and he and them are relatives.
Looking at smiling Liu Qing, I read his perseverance and courage. There is a work, I only know that the general content reflects the veteran cadres. Liu Qing himself did not disclose the title. Because he was dissatisfied, he burned nearly 1, words of work. Before burning the work, Liu Kefeng also described his contradictory psychology in Liu Qing Biography. However, in the end, Liu Qing made up her mind to burn. This kind of determination is tragic and the average person can't understand it. However, it is precisely because of the self-compulsion not to go backward that those strong cornerstones in the door of literature are formed.
Go straight from the gate of literature to the top of the ditch. At both ends of the ditch, besides Liu Qing's former residence, there are Liu Qing Literature Museum, Liu Qing Private School and Liu Qing Academy. In addition, writers' halls were scattered during the Yan 'an Revolution. The 2 courtyards, 77 old caves and more than 4, square meters of space in this ditch have all been given new missions.
On the back and left of the door of literature, there is a famous saying written by Liu Qing: "Although the road of life is long, there are often only a few critical steps, especially when people are young." Teach earnestly and earnestly, just like telling everyone. I remember copying it neatly when I was in college. On the right, Lu Yao, Chen Zhongshi and Jia Pingwa all expressed their infinite respect for Liu Qing. Among them, Lu Yao said: "Liu Qing is the real godfather of my literary creation. It is unforgettable to consult Liu Qing in Huangfu Village, Chang' an County." I believe this is Lu Yao's heartfelt words.
On the night I arrived in Wubao, I went to see the statue of Liu Qing. That day, looking at the almost full moon in the night sky and listening to the sound of the Yellow River quietly flowing, I was thoughtful. Why did I come here? What inspiration did he give me?
Walking into the door of Liu Qing's literature is a spiritual journey. The significance of Liu Qing is deeply rooted in his own people.
people writer Liu Qing, the people are his root, his blood and his soul.
