In 1954, 18-year-old Zhang Xianliang dropped out of high school in Beijing and went to Helan County, Ningxia to jump the queue, and soon became a teacher of Ningxia Provincial Party Committee Cadre Culture School. Zhang Xianliang started literary creation at the age of 14; In 1957, he was beaten as a rightist for publishing a long poem "Song of the Great Wind" in the literary monthly Yanhe.

switching to business and taking the lead in setting up the Western Cinema
The success of Zhang Xianliang Zhang Xianliang is not only reflected in literary creation. In 1988, the film Red Sorghum directed by Zhang Yimou won the international prize, and its main location, Zhenbeibao in the western suburb of Yinchuan, gradually came into people's sight. In 1992, the reporter published two articles in Guangming Daily and People's Daily, entitled Red Sorghum "Red" in Zhenbeibao, and film and television circles are optimistic about Ningxia's "location".
The two reports attracted the attention of Yuan Jinlin, then the director of Helan Mountain Forest and Grass Experimental Field where Zhenbeibao is located (now the Secretary-General of the Standing Committee of People's Congress of Ningxia * * *). He not only copied the two reports in large quantities and distributed them widely, but also took the lead in putting forward the preliminary idea of restoring the location and developing the tourism industry, which was warmly responded by all parties. In the specific planning, everyone agreed that this matter should be led by Zhang Xianliang, with the help of his fame and appeal.
Zhang Xianliang has not only carried this banner, but also constantly improved and upgraded it, so that this ancient castle, which was abandoned for many years, has gradually developed into today's "Zhenbeibao Western Cinema" and a 5A-level tourist attraction. Zhang Xianliang once told reporters: "If the novel I created is' plane literature', then the Western Cinema is my' three-dimensional literature'." At present, the Western Cinema integrates sightseeing, entertainment, leisure, catering, shopping and experience. It was once the shooting base of a Chinese Odyssey and Xinlongmen Inn.
Jiangsu once wanted to publish his anthology
After learning the news of Zhang Xianliang's death, Zhang Changhua, a retired editor of Jiangsu Phoenix Literature and Art Publishing House, told reporters that in the 198s, when Zhang Xianliang became popular, he began to make an appointment with Zhang Xianliang to publish his book. "I pay more attention to writers born in Jiangsu, and I have passed four letters with him." Zhang Xianliang
On the phone, Zhang Changhua found out the letters that have been preserved to this day. "The first letter was written by Zhang Xianliang on May 29th, 1986. At that time, we were preparing the Oriental Chronicle magazine and wanted to make an appointment with him. In the letter, he was very polite, saying that he was a man who survived the punishment, and he was just a walk-on in the literary world, facing the fellows in Jiangsu. Zhang Changhua recalled that at that time, in order to hold Zhang Xianliang back, the club wanted to sign a publishing agreement with him, but he always refused, saying that his writing was very casual.
The second letter was written in 1987, and Zhang Xianliang sent back 22 yuan money to ask Zhang Changhua to buy two books published by Jiangsu Literature and Art Society, one is a dictionary of ancient prose appreciation, and the other is foreign literature in the 2th century. "I remember sending him a magazine. Maybe there are advertisements for these two books on the page."
The last two letters came in 1998, when Jiangsu Literature and Art Society published a series of collected works by famous writers, including Ye Zhaoyan and Su Tong. "We also intend to publish Zhang Xianliang's collected works, and he also expressed his willingness to cooperate and sent a catalogue of the collected works. But unfortunately, it didn't work out for other reasons. " [2]
Zhang Xianliang is a renowned writer in China. Not only his literary masterpieces have been translated into 3 languages and distributed in more than 3 countries around the world, but also he has made great achievements in China's unique calligraphy art. Zhang Xianliang doesn't want to be a calligrapher, so he doesn't deliberately leave the "calligraphy circle". For example, the wild flowers in Helan Mountain are free to open themselves, leaving people with an elegant Mo Yun and thinking in this noisy era, and the creativity of his calligraphy itself blooms in a profound cultural character. "Calligrapher" should be a scholar first, and should have the necessary accomplishment in literature, philology and history, otherwise, the number of "calligraphers" will not play much role in our times. Therefore, Mr. Zhang Xianliang's literary history and calligraphy attainments do not necessarily require every calligrapher to take his works as a "frame of reference", but let some people who are interested in calligraphy collection and research understand that character, knowledge and calligraphy are inseparable! As a well-known scholar calligrapher who is famous all over the country and the Great Wall, Zhang Xianliang seldom loves poetry and calligraphy. His mother is wise and knowledgeable, and his thoughts are profound, which gives Mr. Wang a good starting point at an early age and has worked hard in calligraphy art. Later, after vicissitudes of life, Mr. Wang has rich life experience. His calligraphy attainments and calligraphy realm are the combination of special talent and long-term research and understanding. However, he didn't have the idea of taking the title of the book as the world's title, and his indifferent mind and elegant learning were important factors in shaping Mr. Zhu's calligraphy character. In addition to fully affirming Mr. Wang's mixed efforts, we have to agree with his academic education and talent for the formation of "Zhang Ti". Zhang Xianliang's calligraphy is beautiful, elegant and colorful, and he is especially good at running calligraphy. He has a wide range of brush strokes. He has read and studied the North Monument and South Post, such as Chu Suiliang, Jin Wang Youjun, Su Dongpo, Ming Dong Qichang and so on. However, his calligraphy is richer in the rhyme of southern calligraphy, and the stippling of Chinese characters shows the charm of the northern monument from time to time. The oblique structure and the relaxation of individual stippling are quite similar to the charm of Mi Fei, Dongpo and Dong Qichang.
He founded the Western Film and Television City of Ningxia, A Chinese Odyssey, Xinlongmen Inn and ashes of time, all of which were filmed here.
Zhang Xianliang's name is widely known because of his many works. But in fact, in addition to being a well-known writer, Zhang Xianliang has another important identity, that is, the "fortress owner" of Ningxia Western Film and Television City. This is also the reason why many celebrities in the film and television circle mourn him in succession. It is reported that more than 5 famous films were shot here.
It is reported that in the winter of 1961, 25-year-old Zhang Xianliang was released from a farm in Helan County, Ningxia, wearing a "rightist" hat. When buying salt at Zhenbeibao Market, 2 kilometers away from Yinchuan, he found that the ruins of two castles standing on the barren beach had special visual images. Twenty years later, in 1981, he recommended the abandoned castle that had broken the sheepfold at that time to Xie Jin as the location of the film herdsman adapted from his novel "Soul and Meat", so the castle that had been desolate for hundreds of years began to be lively. In September, 1993, Ningxia Western Film and Television City opened in Zhenbeibao. Zhang Xianliang gave up the iron rice bowl and turned this desolate place into a 4A-level scenic spot, which became the location shooting base of China western theme and ancient theme film and television. More than 5 films, such as herdsman, Red Sorghum, Yellow River Ballad, Walking and Singing, The Old Man and the Dog, A Odyssey to the West, Xinlongmen Inn, The Book of Swordsman, and ashes of time, were born here.
-The famous director Wong Kar-wai
made ashes of time, and he gave me great support
"My first film" ashes of time "was made in the Western Film and Television City. At that time, because Leslie Cheung played Xi Du, we were going to shoot in the west. At that time, Teacher Zhang Xianliang gave us great support. Now that Leslie Cheung is gone, and Teacher Zhang Xianliang passed away today, I feel very sorry. "
There are many stories about "first" in Zhang Xianliang
-Wang Jiuxin, the winner of the first Lu Xun Literature Prize
Zhang Xianliang Zhang Xianliang once said that he was the first to write about sex, hunger, urban reform, puppy love among middle school students and reform-through-labour camps in China ... It happened in Zhang Xianliang, and there are many stories about "first". Wang Jiuxin, the winner and writer of the first Lu Xun Literature Prize, said that Zhang Xianliang is a leading writer in the literary world in the new period. "Without his Greening Trees, Soul and Meat, and Half of Men are Women, the literary world in the new period would be like a corner of the sky."
Wang Jiuxin said that in Zhang Xianliang's works, human nature is not all gloomy, and there is a noble spirit in him. There is a saying in the novel "Sholbrak", "Those who have soaked in the alkaline lake are all national treasures." This shows that although he has experienced hardships, he is particularly strong. Later, he went to run the film and television city. "The film and television city is also a great work of his own. He is a person with cultural quality and understands the industry and career very clearly. It can be said that the first third of Zhang Xianliang's life had some hardships, and he created a brilliant work in the middle, and a third of his later years created a film and television city. It is a great life. He is an amazing person, learning to use the old and creating to the old. "
the history of contemporary literature can't bypass him; He attaches great importance to the introduction of Zhang Xianliang, and has a childlike innocence
-Gao Hongbo, vice chairman of the Chinese Writers Association
Gao Hongbo, vice chairman of the Zhang Xianliang Chinese Writers Association and a famous writer, said in an interview that Zhang Xianliang had a special talent in many fields and formed the "Zhang Xianliang phenomenon", and he deeply regretted the death of such a writer who could not be avoided in the history of contemporary literature.
Gao Hongbo said that in March 214, Zhang Xianliang, who suffered from cancer, came to Beijing to see a doctor. "Several of our old friends, including Zhang Kangkang, got together once in Beijing. Zhang Xianliang said half jokingly," This may be the last time we met, but the history of literature can't bypass me. " At that time, he was allergic to traditional Chinese medicine, and his body itched uncomfortably, but he was strong, with a smile on his face and contempt for the disease. Gao Hongbo said that Zhang Xianliang attaches great importance to friendship. He has a childlike innocence, likes to be lively and sociable. After people have experienced great hardships, many things are relatively light and transparent.
His works have influenced a generation
-Nanjing writer Lu Min
"I didn't know that Zhang Xianliang was born in Nanjing and his hometown was Xuyi." Nanjing writer Lu Min told the reporter, "Zhang Xianliang is a favorite writer of his mother's generation, especially the Zhang Xianliang profile of herdsman based on his work Soul and Body. Oh, I am particularly fascinated." In Lu Min's view, Zhang Xianliang is the most outstanding contributor to the independence and awakening of human nature and sexual consciousness among writers of his generation. [3]
