I am urgently seeking comments on Wang Shuo’s works and research on Wang Shuo

Wang Shuo was born in Xiuyan County, Liaoning Province in 1958. To this day, Wang Shuo is unwilling to say that he is from Beijing. On the contrary, he said "I am from the Northeast" confidently. Shortly after he was born, he followed his parents to settle in a military compound in the suburbs of Beijing. In the compound where he lives, there are people with lofty ideals from all over the country, but there are no Beijingers. Wang Shuo's understanding is that perhaps there were few people in Beijing participating in the revolution at that time. Living in a self-isolated compound, Wang Shuo, as a young child, did not know that there were residents in the city and thought that besides shopping malls, it was a park.

This is no wonder for him. He has only been to Xidan in Beijing, so his experience can be imagined. After entering middle school, Wang Shuo moved into the city. Under the city roots of Chaoyang Gate, he had direct communication with Beijing's language. Before this, he had little knowledge of Beijing culture, and the language of Beijing was unfamiliar to him. It can be seen that today's Wang Shuo's language has no origin and relationship with "Old Beijing". It is a unique language formed after language exchange with Beijing, and can only be regarded as a branch of New Beijing culture.

"Ridicule" has become the biggest feature of Wang Shuo's language. Ridicule itself is a form of language that is neither hard nor soft. This form of language is not so much that Wang Shuo uses it as a tool, but rather that Wang Shuo uses it as a weapon. As an ordinary person, what he faced as a child was not being respected but being violated from time to time. Street gangsters, stern teachers, and overbearing parents can all cause aggression. You are powerless to fight back against this intrusion. But you must also take a self-protective measure. Wang Shuo chose to tease, which could not only resolve the insult caused by the other party, but also protect his own dignity. It should be said that the formation of this kind of ridicule is very natural and is not the patent of ruffians. But because this kind of ridicule ruthlessly mocks people who think they are very decent, one kind of self-esteem competes with another kind of self-esteem, and Wang Shuo becomes a "ruffian" in the eyes of people wearing a cultural cloak. An instinctive resistance, similar to a child's mischief, but it made adults angry.

Someone asked Wang Shuo: "What is the purpose of your writing?" "Of course it is for fame and fortune." Wang Shuo replied. As far as writing itself is concerned, Wang Shuo is a writer, but he is not the kind of writer people think he is: a great personality, perfect morals, and civilized behavior. He is a model for mankind and an engineer of the soul. He is not of such a high level. Despite this, his contribution to literature cannot be forgotten. He wrote about people on the margins of society. In the past, idleness was not allowed by society, and everyone's social position was very clear. Since the new era, due to the improvement of China's political life and the relaxation of the social atmosphere, the division of occupations has no longer been "workers, peasants, and soldiers." ” and “intellectuals” are simply the four major categories. Many people live on the margins of society. In the past, China's middle class was attached to the power class and consisted of some people in the government, military, and officials. Before the reform and opening up, these people had a strong sense of political superiority and their economic status was above average. After the reform and opening up, this class gradually collapsed. Many of them felt a huge sense of loss. Their economic superiority was replaced by the private sector, and their sense of political superiority was vague. They were unwilling to engage in manual labor and had not received too much education. With more education, social status has changed drastically. They are no longer the best among young people. The improvement of social status is directly proportional to knowledge. In the early days, it was the small businessmen and hawkers who supported them, but now it is the educated and capable people who are proud of themselves. It is impossible for every writer to write about all kinds of people in society. He can only write about people he is familiar with, just like some people are familiar with farmers and knowledge. Wang Shuo's understanding of "marginal people" makes him write about this group of people.

His mother is a doctor and his father is a teacher at the Political College of the People's Liberation Army. Although he is not from a scholarly family, his family is well-off. His family is a typical citizen family in Beijing (this background is very important for him in the future). It is very helpful to describe Beijing city life in a familiar way in the work). Wang Shuo lived in a military compound when he was a child. What the children did every day was to fight in groups and so on. However, that period of freedom left a deep impression on Wang Shuo. His later novella " "Animals Are Ferocious" (adapted into the movie "Sunny Day") was written about the feelings at that time. Wang Shuo studied in Shaoshan Middle School when he was a boy. He was not a naughty student in school. He even participated in the "April Five-Year Plan" incident in 1976 with the belief that "every man has a responsibility". Although he was not a mighty and unyielding hero, But he was imprisoned for three months.

In the summer of 1976, Wang Shuo joined the army in Shandong after graduating from high school. As he described in "The Ferocious Animals", he longed for war and hoped to become a hero. However, he did not become a powerful figure in the army. He was just an ordinary "steer", health worker and even a kitchen helper. When the university resumed enrollment in 1978, Wang Shuo aroused the desire to apply for liberal arts, so he began to practice writing essays. During this period, he accidentally submitted his essay to the "People's Liberation Army Literature and Art" and was selected. This was his debut novel, the short story "Waiting." "Waiting" is a novel with strong traces of the times and is quite naive, and the writing style is still very student-like. However, in 1978, when the Gang of Four had just been crushed, it was undoubtedly refreshing and gratifying, and its hit mark clearly showed Wang Shuo's creative potential.

After that, Wang Shuo wrote several more military-themed works, but the response was not great. During this period, he tried to start a business, but it seemed that he had a bad time. Not only did he not make much money, but he experienced a lot of being cheated. This experience of working hard to make money was later recorded in works such as "Rubber Man" (which was adapted into the movie "Breathe") and "Master Xu".

After failing in business, he began to create again while having nothing to do. The perspective of a businessman allowed him to know what was suitable for sale, so he chose the "stewardess" who was quite mysterious in the eyes of ordinary people as the subject of his description. Sure enough, he hit the mark in "Contemporary".

He said: "My physical development coincided with three years of natural disasters, and my education coincided with the Cultural Revolution. I suffered from so-called comprehensive malnutrition. I have no skills and can only roughly recognize three to five thousand Chinese characters. This is exactly People with great ambitions and limited talents should live a mediocre life and be a stepping stone for others; it is also true that life should not be cut off, and social changes cannot lead to peace. In order to survive in a corner of the world in the future, the sinking pool rises and the writing is full of ink.]< /p>

Born in 1958, graduated from Beijing No. 44 Middle School in 1976, and later joined the North Sea Fleet of the Chinese People's Navy as a hygienist. In 1980, he retired from the army and returned to Beijing, and joined the Beijing Pharmaceutical Company's drug wholesale store as a salesman. In 1983 He resigned and relied on writing to make a living. He began to engage in literary creation in 1978. Since his debut novella "Stewardess" was published in "Contemporary" in early 1984, he has created twenty-two novellas and three novels, about one hundred pieces. He wrote 600,000 words and wrote dozens of TV series. He went to the United States in January 1997 and returned to China in July 1997 to engage in freelance writing.

In the 1990s, he became a rogue writer who dominated the literary world with his domineering words. I am a gangster, who am I afraid of? It was like a wake-up call, tearing off the so-called noble veil. Then almost all the media participated in this vigorous debate, adding "Desire", "Story of the Editorial Department" and "Love" You Didn't Negotiate> "Enjoyable" and other TV series adaptations were successful, and Wang Shuo became famous all over the country.

As the frequency of publishing books decreased, Wang Shuo began to become a little quiet, "Looking Beautiful". "Beauty Gives Me Mongolian Sweat Medicine" seems to have exhausted his talents. What really attracted media attention again was his collection of essays "The Ignorant is Fearless", in which Jin Yong and Qiong Yao were listed as one of the "four major customs", which caused a big controversy. The scale of the King of Kings debate is different from the past. The participation of the Internet has rapidly escalated and heated up the debate, and the ignorant are fearless. Just like Wang Shuo's famous sayings such as "the heartbeat is what you play for" and "you will die if you get too addicted", have become annual Popular words.

The new book "My Thousand Years Cold" has been published recently, and contains six texts. The language has made new breakthroughs than before, especially the opening chapter "My Thousand Years Cold", which is concise and rich. Poetic, but also given tense. The last "Outline of the History of Materialism" talks about the universe and matter. Although there are some common sense errors, the language still has Wang Shuo's domineering chronology.
