Chu Liang, the son of a farmer, was born with intelligence. God accurately gave him the talent and luck to become a writer.
This is indeed the case. During his many years of creation, although he was fortunate enough to turn some of the water-town romance novels he completed while holding cows in one hand and a pen in the other into printed form, he never shined proudly in the end. Had it with Dezhi. Just because one night of that year, a ghost knocked on the door of the soul and he came up with "The Robbery is About to Happen" as if by a stroke of genius. It didn't matter, he won the first prize in the high-level and fierce competition among famous writers across the country. Outstanding Novel Award. How famous is it? At that time, only behind Lu Wenfu and Shi Tiesheng, the list of outstanding writers ranked third.
For a time, "People's Literature", "Novel Monthly", "Selected Novels", "Harvest", "Xinhua Digest", "Guangming Daily"... major newspapers and news media across the country were on the cover and back cover. , title page and the most important and eye-catching position to introduce him and his works. "Guangming Daily" once commented: "There is Deng Gang in the north and Chu Liang in the south." Therefore, in a very short period of time, there was an upsurge in talking about Chu Liang in the national novel circles. In an instant, Chu Liang, a Chinese language teacher in a private middle school with more than 20 years of teaching experience, transformed overnight into the darling of Jingchu and the proud son of Jianghan Plain.
In 1984, Chu Liang was introduced as a special professional talent, and his family moved from Xiantao to Jingmen City, thus taking off the hat of an amateur peasant writer and becoming a professional writer in a dignified way. In just a few years, he wrote vigorously at the rate of 20,000 to 30,000 words per year, working day and night, and came up with several tricks. "Marina's Anecdotes" (novella, CCTV radio drama, first and second episodes filmed by Hubei TV Drama Production Center) came out and was broadcast on hundreds of radio and television stations across the country; the movie "Synthetic Man" (absurd novel, produced by Changchun Film (filmed in 2016) and "Pollution Report in the Land of Women" (filmed by Beijing Film Studio) were released nationwide; "The Hero's Widow", "Catalogue King" (winner in Nanjing), "Housekeeping" (winner in Shanghai) followed one after another. ), "Stone Rolling" and other novellas of more than two million words were published in major newspapers and magazines across the country with great fanfare.
In the early years when Chu Liang first emerged in his forties, he became the most prolific among professional writers in my country. The period from 1984 to 1986 can be described as the heyday of Chu Liang's creative career.
People say that Chu Liang’s glorious day today is inseparable from his wife’s wholehearted support and dedication. Chu Liang himself has repeatedly told reporters who have interviewed him that his success is half that of his wife Tian, ??and he makes no secret of it. But not long ago, there were rumors in the novel world and across the country that Chu Liang was getting divorced. Some people say that he shouldn't and has no conscience when he abandons his wife. China has another "Chen Shimei"; some people say that he is on the right track. He is a brave pioneer, handsome and beautiful, who has walked out of the swamp and walked towards a new world... Everyone agrees, but there is no consensus. Fortunately, he and I work in the same city, and we are from the same hometown of Xiantao, so we have frequent contact and know some things. He rarely talked about the details of Chu Liang's marriage change with others. Therefore, little is known about his dramatic marathon divorce, and most of it is speculation stage by stage.
In a chance encounter, on the road from Jingmen to Hankou, Chu Liang went to the Provincial Department of Culture and the Hubei Provincial Song and Dance Theater to invite a famous director to come to Jing to screen his new work. I went to the Hubei Provincial Department of Radio and Television Research Institute "Sound Screen Lookout" magazine sent me the manuscript of the news article I wrote, and I went to the provincial station "Rural Paradise" to present the special program I produced to Teacher Cai Ling. Chu Liang and I rode in the same car and headed to the provincial capital - - Wuhan. On the way, Chu Liang and I talked for as long as three hours. In addition, we both stayed at the Yangtze River Hotel at No. 1131 Jiefang Avenue, Hankou, in the same room at No. 809, about his marriage, family, and his life. We chatted endlessly all night about creation, current and future ideas, etc. Chu Liang is indeed divorced. His divorce is sour, sweet, bitter and spicy, and is very romantic. Chu Liang's divorce left humor and set a new Guinness record.
1. Wenzhou Pen Meeting meets “Xizi”
Wenzhou is a very beautiful city in the south of the Yangtze River. In May, the spring here is bright, flowers are in bloom, the water and mountains are fresh and beautiful, and the climate is pleasant. In 1984, the PEN Club of Nationally Famous Writers was held here. Among the writers who came here to participate in the PEN conference this time are famous writers such as Jiang Zilong, Tie Ning, Zhang Xianliang, and Chi Li.
Chu Liang won the award for "The Robbery Is About to Happen" and was rightfully ranked among the well-known writers this time.
In order to participate in this pen conference, Chu Liang temporarily put aside the intense creation at his desk, packed his luggage, and rushed to Wenzhou with great interest. This time Chu Liang went to Beijing to receive the award as a peasant writer, which was completely different from that time when he won the "robbery" award. Chu Liang is wearing a suit that is not very crisp, but it is suitable and decent. He wears a pair of fashionable rocket leather shoes, a pair of gold-rimmed brown glasses, his hair is combed back into a big bun, and he carries a fashionable bag. In addition, the residual excitement from the "robbery" to receive the award has not completely dissipated, so Chu Liang looked even more impressive when he went to the Wenzhou PEN Club.
He didn’t even think about what Chu Liang would encounter when he went to Wenzhou this time, whether he would meet any close friends, beauties, or the like. However, there is no doubt that a heavy cross has been carried on the body. As for the PEN Club, he always keeps in mind that he can make friends with literature, have a brighter future, visit famous places, go out into the society, go deep into life, accumulate materials, and write more and better literary and artistic works that are more popular among people. Things are often the opposite. The more you want, the more things you want, they will not be in your hands, and the things you don't want to get will appear in front of you without even noticing. This is how Chu Liang's Wenzhou Pen Club met "Xizi".
Since the venue of Writers PEN is in Wenzhou, many literature lovers and fans will never miss the opportunity to go to Wenzhou to listen to lectures by famous writers. Of course, asking great writers to sign their names, take photos, and become apprentices is what amateur literature lovers want. Therefore, not only amateur writers from Wenzhou attended the lectures, but also amateur writers from surrounding Yangzhou, Suzhou, and Hangzhou also gathered in Wenzhou. Of course, the most honorable thing is to have a glimpse of the talents of celebrities in the Chinese novel industry. Among the amateur authors who came this time, there was a girl who was pretty, smart, well-proportioned, dignified and generous in manners, and quite ladylike. She looked like she was no more than 26 years old.
This girl’s name is Tao Zhihua, a native of Hangzhou, who lives on the bank of the West Lake. She has been fond of literature since she was a child, often writing poetry, prose, etc. She also likes to create novels, and she once had a novel published. Logically speaking, her personal conditions are good, but God is not kind to her. She is almost 30 years old and she still has no lover. It is really hard to find a true love! Writers and celebrities from all over the country are gathering in Wenzhou this time. On the one hand, they can learn from the writers, and on the other hand, they may meet someone and make "friends". This is what she has been planning for a long time. So Miss Tao came to Wenzhou with hope.
On the morning of May 4th, it was Chu Liang’s turn to give a lecture. Chu Liang always gave lectures without using manuscripts, and his language was humorous and well-spoken. His Xiantao Mandarin brought a relaxed and lively atmosphere to the class. Chu Liang's casual speech won rounds of applause from hundreds of amateur writers in the audience. Undoubtedly, it touched the heart of Tao Zhihua, who is by the West Lake in the audience. Because she almost forgot what Chu Liang said on the stage, she was "meticulous", concentrated, and stared at Chu Liang, as if she wanted to see him in her eyes, remember him in her heart, and use the remote control to pull him to her side. It was as if Lai Yongyun wouldn't let him slip away.
After the writers had dinner that afternoon, the amateur writers all went to the great writers to sign autographs and take photos. Chu Liang signed autographs for them one by one, but only
