1. Zhou: In the literary world of China, a voice suddenly sounded, which was refreshing. After only three years, it suddenly ended. Whether people like this kind of voice or not, it's not hard to hear its uniqueness, so that it doesn't seem to belong to China's literary world. In fact, Wang Xiaobo is like a ranger in China's literary world. He is a loner, with no faction and no door. Although he has extraordinary skills, it is difficult to find the source of learning. ..... Among readers, Wang Xiaobo is called "eccentric talent" and "crooked talent". I think he is "weird" because he is too healthy, and he is "crooked" because he is too honest. Because of his good health, he has a normal feeling about life; Because of his honesty, he had to say how he felt. ..... In his mind, there is only one thing in the world with self-sufficient value, and that is wisdom. What he said about wisdom actually refers to the ability to think freely and enjoy it, which reveals the humanistic concern behind his rational position. What he really defends is personal spiritual freedom. ..... Wang Xiaobo often takes a clear-cut stand when expressing his views, and sometimes it seems quite extreme. I can't say that he is unbiased, and he probably won't think so himself. His basic proposition is not to oppose all prejudices, but to oppose any opinion, even truth, claiming that he is the only truth and trying to unify the whole country. I have never found hubris in Wang Xiaobo's articles, and this is the most common fault of people who go to extremes, which also confirms my intuition that he is not an extreme person, but a person who knows how to control everything. He is not lacking in passion, but his passion is effectively regulated by a normal wisdom and a Russell-style civilized education.
Liu: ... I called back soon, and my voice was quite rough. I asked lazily, "Who paged me?" I called the door, only a faint "ah" sound; I told him about the feeling of reading "Golden Age" in the bookstore, asked him if he still had this book at hand, and said that he wanted to have a good taste. He said, "No books ..." I said it doesn't matter if there are no books. I'll look again and ask him if he is interested in meeting and talking. He didn't seem to agree immediately, but left me two direct dial numbers, one is his own residence with his wife Li Yinhe, and the other is his mother's residence. Then we made an appointment to meet. He came to my house first. He surprised me as soon as he appeared in front of my eyes. I think it's the man in the Water Margin. He is not only tall, but also fat and strong. Which one is appropriate to compare him to? It's not easy to judge now. He is carrying a simple transparent plastic bag with a book in it. I was sharp-eyed and recognized that it was the golden age. But after he sat down, he didn't give me the book. I asked voluntarily, "Is it for me?" He just brought it to me. I looked through it and there was no signature.
Li: "When Xiaobo and Yinhe first fell in love, I thought the child was stupid and thick, and he looked strange and worried. Although I don't like "beautiful boy", I have always been afraid that this person is unreliable. My old man said, "Is your daughter looking for someone, or are you looking for someone? As long as she loves, what do you care? "Asked about the Milky Way several times, she always said," This man has a very wise mind, which is unmatched by others. "This is their combination. This kind of love will have a great power to my innocent daughter who doesn't know much about the world and resist all secular prejudices. At that time, Xiaobo's family had not been rehabilitated, and the whole family lived in several bungalows in the corner of the compound of the Education Commission. Xiaobo's hut is completely messy like a "pigsty", and the two children are happy together in this small nest. A friend praised Li Yinhe for being brave! "
Zhong: "I am not a good person from a distance, but I am still a good person from a close look." The first time I met Wang Xiaobo was at a bus stop in Xidan, Beijing. I saw his photo in Lingnan Culture Times in Guangzhou, and I firmly remember a confession attached to the photo: "I am not a good person from a distance, but I am still a good person from a close look." When the taxi arrived in Xidan, I firmly believed that I didn't see Wang Xiaobo in the photo. When I turned around, I was already late. I didn't find Wang Xiaobo. I thought he was late. There were a few idle people standing beside me, and I just looked at the distance. Then, one of the idlers came hesitantly, with a tall head, unkempt hair, a jacket and jeans criss-crossed with wrinkles and a kind of dust, as if coming out of a nearby construction site. We froze for two seconds and confirmed each other. Then I followed him into a gray brick alley. Walking into the courtyard of the apartment, he turned into the canteen to buy soda. He said, "There is no water in my room." It's not just water! I walked into a pure writing room: a computer, an armchair and a bed; There is a bottle of drink on the computer desk, but there is no printer. He said that he always gave the floppy disk to the editor. This is a freelance writer. He told me that the publication of the first book was extremely difficult. In order to find the market, he broke a few pairs of shoes and went to the second channel alone. He has read all the books in black and white and practiced eloquently. ……
Wang Xiaobo left a rich legacy to the world with his short life. Some people appreciate the satire of his essays, some appreciate the unconstrained style of his novels, some praise his passion and romance, and some admire his maverick. Behind these appearances, the most precious thing in his life is the pursuit of freedom. As his widow Li Yinhe said, people like Rainbow Xiaobo. First of all, they like his free spirit. Wang Xiaobo loved freedom all his life and pursued its value, writing and lifestyle unremittingly. Freedom is the most beautiful word and value. Wang Xiaobo used his life and writing to practice and spread this value. He let people see that a free man can not only enjoy the fun of thinking, embrace rationality and common sense, but also follow the dance of the soul and have a poetic world outside the secular life. A free man is the one with the most judgment and creativity. There is no doubt that some people are biased against freedom and misinterpret it with ulterior motives. These misinterpretations, after repeated indoctrination, are largely recognized, accepted and spread by a considerable number of people. Mentally speaking, it implies that human freedom may lead to laissez-faire and degeneration; In terms of social organization, people always hear that freedom is associated with disorder, chaos and even turmoil. Wang Xiaobo used his works, his personality and his life to show the world how a free mind thinks, feels, longs and gives. After getting rid of the shackles of the system and gaining freedom, he did not take drugs or go to the streets, but indulged in the fragrance of thoughts and galloped in the wilderness of imagination, sharing with us the beauty he gained through words. He taught us a basic common sense, that is, the first thing a free man wants is to live a good life.
Fourth, it's not a question of giving freedom to Mr. Eggs or Mr. Eggs, or opening up freedom before making laws. Because, when people do not have free thoughts and the right to participate in making laws, just laws will not be produced. Some people are always complacent that there is no absolute freedom in the world. But Wang Xiaobo and other liberal intellectuals let us know that this is just an authentic nonsense. For a free man, a free world, there is no such problem at all. A free-thinking person is the most considerate, tolerant and harmonious person, so he never asks for absolute freedom. Only despots long for absolute freedom. This sentence should be said to Wang Xiaobo and his followers without disturbing them. Freedom is not waiting for our garden at the end of the road, but the road itself. Therefore, there is no time to pursue freedom once and for all. Wang Xiaobo's value lies in that he shows us the truth of freedom: rationality and passion, reality and romance, elites and civilians, profundity and fun, and how beautiful freedom is. His works thoroughly satirize all the absurdities and sufferings in our lives. He also did something that no one ever wanted to do or did. He abandoned the tradition of softness, sadness and flattery in China's modern literature, but inherited the critical, thinking and imaginative spirit of Russell and Burl Calvino, and at the same time creatively connected this tradition with the game spirit of China's ancient novels.
Fifth, Wang Xiaobo's literary creation is unique, full of imagination and fantasy, but there is no lack of rational spirit, especially his "Time Trilogy". In the whole trilogy series, he tells the absurd story of human existence with comic spirit and humorous style, and describes the distortion and suppression of power on creative desire and human needs through stories. As for the background of the story, it spans all ages and shows the past, present and future fate of China intellectuals. In fact, the most remarkable thing about Wang Xiaobo is undoubtedly that he shuttles through the dialogues through the ages and changes various perspectives. On the technique of expression, he is good at describing the relationship between men and women with Jiang Yang's wanton brushwork, and describing the touching and beautiful scene and overwhelming power of love. His masterpiece "Golden Age" enjoys a high reputation in the literary world. Bai Hua, deputy editor-in-chief of China Social Sciences Publishing House, said: "All the previous sex novels were filmed in the golden age!" In fact, his novels have never been accepted by the publishing house, also because of the sexual description in the article. In fact, these words are not as explicit as Jia Pingwa and others' little foot literature, nor as kitsch as others written by Mo Yan, but straightforward. Aside from the above hot spots, I have never seen anyone write like this. In Wang's novels, you can see that all the rules of so-called authenticity in literature are easily crossed. He used different rhetorical devices to write novels, and a large number of impromptu and misplaced character styles combined Zhuang with harmony, elegance with coarseness. Readers can feel the surging imagination. Xiaobo's novels are not only humorous, but also full of wisdom. Anyone who has read his Searching for the Unique and his essays will be conquered by his wisdom. I hope more people like him and wisdom. As Xiao Bo said, when I was alive, I was happy to think about it. People who like Xiao Bo must thank Li Yinhe, because Li Yinhe was studying abroad at that time, and the scholarship for one person was used by two people, which gave Xiao Bo a lot of support. Even in that environment, Xiao Bo was never allowed to do housework.
6. Among contemporary China writers, no one has ever been praised and sought after by Rainbow Xiaobo, and no one has ever been volunteered as a "running dog" by countless young people like him. He even became a literary mentor and spiritual leader of many people. His opposition to "ignorance" and "boredom" became the life creed of countless young people, and further became the most widely read and believed values and aesthetic principles of this era. His novels have achieved the highest reading pleasure that China's modern novels can achieve so far. He made people see a completely different world, and he made people understand: Oh, so novels can be written like this. The dull humor and flashing wisdom in his prose reveal another realm of life to people, and he makes people really see the road of intelligent life. On the eighth anniversary of his death, the biography of Wang Xiaobo, a maverick edited by Li Yinhe, was published by Popular Literature and Art Publishing House, and a one-month photo exhibition of Wang Xiaobo's life was held in Lu Xun Museum, which will be unprecedented for contemporary China writers. The maverick biography of Wang Xiaobo contains the memoirs of Liu, Zhou, Li Yinhe, Wang Xiaobo's family articles and Wang Xiaobo's most representative articles. Fully demonstrated his spiritual world and life. At the same time, there is a documentary called "Looking for the Golden Age", which contains the only images and recordings of Wavelet before his death, from which people can see a real and living wavelet.
Li Yinhe: Xiaobo's literary vision is extremely high, and he seldom praises other people's things. The people I have heard him praise are Mark Twain and Bernard Shaw. Both of them are famous for their humor and wisdom. His favorite writers are French New Fiction School, Duras, Tunier, Usain, Calvino and Burr. He doesn't like Tolstoy, and probably thinks his classical realism is too boring, especially his religious preaching. Xiaobo is an out-and-out heretic. He likes all interesting and flying things, and his literature just wants to go beyond the plain real life. In particular, he opposed Chernyshevski's literary theory of "truth is beauty" and held a completely opposite view. He believes that the real thing can't be beautiful, only the created thing and the imagined world are beautiful. Many of his literary theories are very incisive, which he said in his usual chat. When I listen to them, I always say: No, I have to write down your literary theory. But I never really wrote it down because of laziness, which will be my lifelong regret. Xiaobo's writing style is very distinctive. Just like when Pavarotti opens his mouth, you know it's Pavarotti without signing up. Julio knows it's Julio when he sings, and so does Xiaobo. You can know it's written by him at a glance. Li Ao, Taiwan Province Province, said that he was the first in China in vernacular Chinese. I wonder if he will say so after reading Wang Xiaobo's words. Really, that's what I think. Some people say that in our society, there are only theorists, interpreters of authoritative theories and ideological experts, but no thinkers. In my opinion, wavelet is an exception. He is a free thinker. The position of liberal humanism runs through his whole personality and thought. People who have read his articles may find that he especially likes to quote Russell's words, which is the so-called congenial. He especially advocated tolerance, rationality and human conscience, and opposed everything that was overbearing, unreasonable and dogmatic. I'm always amazed at his ideas. This is because when I grow up, I hear all kinds of platitudes or stupid things, but wavelet's ideas are always so fresh. This is one of his most mysterious places. I think it has something to do with the frustration of his family when he was a child. This experience made him learn to use his own judgment to find the truth from an early age, he found free humanism, and kept his faith in freedom and rationality all his life.
Liu Xiaoyang: In The Joy of Thinking, Xiao Bo mentioned that when they went to the countryside, they didn't have the pain of studying. When we went to the countryside, we also felt extremely eager for books, and even turned over the Handbook of Barefoot Doctors. ..... After going to college, the country was in urgent need, and the publishing situation of "a writer in the world is expensive" was gradually broken. Just like Jack London's Love Life, the newly rescued hungry survivors are desperate to find and hide food, and we are also eager to search for readable books everywhere. There are several bookshelves in Room 235, all of which are books, of which I bought the most. Orwell's 1984 and Wonderful New World mentioned in the wavelet article are old translation reference materials I bought from foreign languages press. After reading "1984", Xiaobo told me that he saw a statistic saying that many things predicted in this book 100 had been realized by then. In other words, at least until 1980, this book is no longer a prophecy, but a history. I have the same hobby as Xiaobo, that is, reading wild books and reading wild books. I found that the business press has a set of unprofessional talks written by famous foreign scientists. For example, Mark Keith Bonn's Physics of My Generation, Heisenberg's Physics and Philosophy, niels bohr's Collection of Atomic Physics and Human Knowledge, von Neumann's Computer and Human Brain, and Hans Reichenbach's The Rise of Philosophy of Science, they are either famous philosophers of science, winners of the Nobel Prize in Science or masters of various disciplines. Since the 1950s, this set of books has been published intermittently, and only a few dozen copies have been published, with a very limited print run. I found almost all the books published at that time from the old and new shelves. After reading it, Xiao Bo told me that reading the humanistic philosophy book written by such a successful great scientist is the most credible and instructive. Looking for books, borrowing books, buying books, reading books and chatting have become a big part of our college life. I remember the day before a physical chemistry exam, Xiaobo was going home to read the first book of Physical Chemistry written by Fu. I asked him in surprise, is it too late? He said, nothing. The next day, he returned to 235, and the cover and back cover of the book Physical Chemistry, which he took out from his schoolbag, had been rolled into two black rolls as oily as kelp. I asked Xiao Bo if he had finished reading it. He said, it's over. After Xiao Bo published novels and articles, he chatted at 235 one day, saying that a newspaper invited him to write a manuscript, encouraged reading and praised "learning science and climbing the peak". He refused to write a paper ... Not long after, Xiaobo said that he had a manuscript of a publication. He had nothing to write and asked me if I could come. I asked him what he had written. He said to write anything. ..... Xiao Bo said in "The Happiness of Thinking": "I met a math teacher who taught knowledge but was not happy in college. He turned learning math into a pleasure. I met someone who inspired my wisdom. " He refers to our teacher Mr. Zhu Guanggui. ..... After math class, we always invite Mr. Zhu to every party or outing in our class. Teacher Zhu felt our kindness and specially gave us an extra lesson on special relativity. He said in class: "The main formula of special relativity is Lorentz transformation. Nowadays, Lorentz transformation in general books is derived through mathematical analysis. Today I will give you a different method and use linear algebra to derive. " So a beautiful chalk word spread out on the blackboard, making a shocking theory of relativity simple and clear, and deducing Einstein's equation of E=mc2 all the time. ……
Hua Song: He obtained a master's degree from 65438 to 0988 in the United States. After returning to China, he went to Peking University and later taught at Renmin University of China. 1993
He gave up his job as a university teacher and became a freelance writer-writing novels. At that time, I thought he was stupid and worried about him. I once asked him, "If you make this choice, can you live on that unreliable meager manuscript fee in the future?" What should I do if I get sick without free medical care? "I added," I am most worried about writing novels and taking risks. How many literati writers in history suffered and died because of the literary inquisition! " And his answer is: "if a person is afraid of this and that, then do nothing." Is he still human? " He added, "Don't worry, I have principles. "He chose this path for his life and devoted himself to writing. Life is irregular, regardless of day and night, sometimes I forget to eat. Sometimes I go out unkempt and disheveled. I was ashamed of him when I looked at him like that. I was ill last year, and he wanted to hire a nanny. I said it would take a few days, so I won't let him. He said anxiously, "How can I take care of you after work when others are at work?" I'm still a little angry. In fact, he is very filial. If I feel a little sick, he is very anxious. My sister often says that Xiao Bo is the most filial. Last year, he should have gone to England with Li Yinhe, but later, he endured the long separation of young couples and sent away his beloved wife Yinhe. I asked him why he didn't go He said, "It's boring to go there. "I know he did it for me. He couldn't bear to leave his old mother because his brother, sister and brother had all left. He works hard, writes at night and has many things to socialize during the day. He is too tired, which will inevitably affect his health. Wavelet does have a writing foundation. He has read many famous books, both at home and abroad. He not only has the knowledge of social science, but also studied mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer and other science and engineering. He has a lot of practical experience and knowledge, such as the influence of family changes on him, everything in the Cultural Revolution ... He has been to Yunnan in the south of the motherland and to the countryside in the north. When I was studying in the United States, I worked and visited American farmers to learn about their production and life. He talked with vendors who violated the ban on selling Marxism–Leninism books in the United States. He and Yinhe drove almost all over the United States and have been to many European countries. He studied sociology, paid close attention to the grassroots, observed the society and saw some deep levels. All these are the source of his writing and the reason why his works are different. Now it seems that his choice is not wrong. He did what he wanted to do. He left some works for people, which were appreciated and loved by many readers.
Wang Zheng: ... He likes books since he was a child. He reads fast and has an excellent memory. When he was in primary school, his favorite place to go was the old book stand in Xidan shopping mall. God knows how many books he has read there. His memory has surprised his family since childhood. Once, it seems that when he was in the first or second grade of primary school, his sisters and brothers chatted together. He recited Mayakovski's long poems in long paragraphs. He also said it was for fun, but he didn't really like Mayakovski. After reading "100,000 Why", he became a consultant for the whole family. If you have any daily problems at home, you often ask Xiaobo. He was only in the second grade of primary school at that time. ..... but his favorite is literature. He has a persistent love for literature since he was a child. He used literature and a large number of literary books to complete his self-education. In the fifth grade of primary school, he wrote a composition about hedgehogs, which was selected as a model essay to be broadcast on the school radio station. After the Cultural Revolution, he went to a farm in Yunnan and returned to Beijing on vacation. He wrote many essays and essays describing his life and experiences in Yunnan. I cut in line in Shanxi at that time, and every time I went back to Beijing, the first thing I wanted to read was the article written by Xiaobo. Those articles are so vivid, humorous and fascinating that people can't help laughing. After that, he never stopped writing. His article was written on some paper, and then he threw it away. But his articles soon became the favorite thing for the whole family to read, and also circulated among some friends. ...... 197 1 He came to my home to read my book. He solemnly told me that you should take good care of your books. Those books were banned at that time, and they were some literary classics. At that time, he didn't even have enough to eat in Qinghushan, but every time he went to Yantai, he read first and then filled his stomach. Xiudong and I often lament that he is a bookworm. ..... After returning to China, he can work easily. Finally, I found that I like literature best, especially writing novels and making up stories. He persistently embarked on the road of literature and devoted himself to this arduous cause. A responsible and sincere writer puts all his efforts into his works. Xiaobo is such a writer. Dozens of his novels are easy to draft. With his mind, he has written very hard. Only after tempering can his works reach their satisfaction.
Appendix: Quoted from Wang Xiaobo
1. If I want to wake up from my dream, I must find out when I fell asleep before I can jump out. This is the only way.
2. Wisdom itself is good. One day we will all die, and some people will still walk on the road of pursuing wisdom. I can't see what happened after I died, but when I was alive, I was happy to think about it.
In my opinion, everyone is lazy, lustful and greedy by nature. Diligence and thrift are guilty of melodrama, which is more hateful than laziness and lewdness.
4. Studying is to enter the university, and entering the university is to read the doctor. Studying for a doctorate is to be in charge of the project in the future, and being in charge of the project is to embezzle public funds.
People who can sing must sing their own songs. He who can't sing, the songs of the whole world are useless to him.
If I want to write something, I don't care about his style at all, just like when I fall in love, I will never start with loving my motherland.
7. Everyone's embarrassment is innate and can never be changed. The more you try to hide your meanness, the meaner you are. The only way to escape is to admit your meanness and try to like it.
For an intellectual, being an intellectual is more important than being a moral elite.
