Brief introduction of Chung Li-ho's life
Chung Li-ho, a famous novelist, was called "a pen-ploughman who fell in a pool of blood" because he insisted on literary creation all his life. 19 15 was born in Xindalu Pass (now Gaoshu, Pingtung County), and 1960 died of lung disease at the age of 46. Father Zhong Fanshu is very famous in Hakka area of Liu Dui. He is a landlord and a rural entrepreneur. His family is very good. His mother Liu is a wing. Liu has three sons and one daughter, ranking second. When he was a child, he was very loved by his father. Because of his dull and honest personality, he was called "Acheng" by his family, which means simple and honest. Until his death, acquaintances nearby still called him Cheng Ge or Cheng Shu. After graduating from Yanpu Public School at the age of eight, he failed to continue his studies because of his unqualified physical examination, and transferred to a private school to study Chinese, which aroused his interest in literature. After that, he continued to study in Changzhi Public School and received two years of Chinese education. He was deeply influenced by the ancient literature of his teachers. He is the author of Historical Stories of Taiwan and Textual Research on Zhu Yigui's Deeds. , and began to read China's ancient and modern novels. At that time, he wrote a short essay "Enlightenment from Beggars" and Zhang Huiti's long popular vernacular novel "rainy night flower". It is said that this manuscript is as thick as a pillow. There is a vague dream of engaging in literary creation and becoming a writer. Chung Li-ho is talented, handsome and elegant as an adult. According to the legend of the elders, when his other half dated, he was often refused to go because it would attract the attention of the woman. /kloc-at the age of 0/8, he finished his private school studies. At that time, the Zhong family had just bought the mountain forest in the area of Mignon Jianshan by way of joint venture, claiming to be the third company. Chung Li-ho was sent to the farm as a supervisor and fell in love with Zhong Pingmei, a female worker with the same surname. "Marriage with the same surname" is suppressed in traditional Hakka villages, so their love is strongly opposed by families and society. In addition, his academic failure hit him hard, especially his half-brother Zhong went to Meiji University for further study. In contrast, Chung Li-ho's love for literature could not last long, which gradually became his trouble. Natural romantic temperament and love for literature and art make Chung Li-ho feel that pursuing literature seems to be the only way to innovate and make his life meaningful. So he decided to resist and challenge the feudal consciousness represented behind him. On August 3rd, 1940, Zhong Pingmei and I set off from Kaohsiung and went to Japan via Keelung. Then take a boat from Shimonoseki to Busan and Shenyang. After they fled to Fengtian, Manchuria, they mainly wanted to get rid of the shackles of marriage in feudal society. However, "Manchukuo" at that time was not the motherland that Chung Li-ho dreamed of. The more he observed clearly, the more he felt that it was very different from the motherland he had been thinking about, and the compatriots he had contacted were completely opposite to what he had expected, which made the enthusiastic Chung Li-ho feel disillusioned. Peng Ruijin's Biography of Chung Li-ho once said: "During this period, there was a work" Twilight in the City ",which was later rewritten as another unfinished work" Friendship ". They arrived in Fengtian around August 10, lived with their compatriot Lin Guoliang, and rented a house soon. The unfinished Taitung Hotel is a work written by this life experience; The diary novel "Door" written while living in Beijing also records the details of Toyota's life. The original name of "door" is "despair", and it has been suggested to use "leaves". Judging from the naming process, the author's life experience is not smooth. In addition, "The Model of the Earth" is also a Fengtian experience. " 194 1 year, my family moved to Beijing until 1946, when the war ended, I was forced to move back to Taiwan Province province. When I was a child, spoiled Chung Li-ho fell out with her family because she insisted on marrying Zhong Pingmei, and she was stranded in the north of China. Because she refused to work for a Japanese organization, Zhong faced great difficulties and challenges both physically and mentally. Chung Li-ho, however, took the road of writing more firmly. During his six years in Beijing, he went to Shanxi, Henan and Shandong. At the same time, he did a lot of reading and writing, and also participated in various activities of the Association of Hometown in Lv Ping, Taiwan Province Province. He also contributed articles, published books, translated and introduced Japanese literary works under the pseudonym "Liu Jiang". During the period of 1945, the first collection of novels, Oleander, was published in Beijing Mazeng Bookstore, which included short stories such as Oleander, Rebirth, gossamer and Bomang. This thin collection of novels, with only 163 pages, became the only one published by Chung Li-ho himself before his death. In addition, I left a diary, which recorded my experiences and feelings in the early post-war period in detail. On August 1945 and 15, the Japanese army declared defeat and surrender, and the people of Taiwan Province Province living in Beijing immediately caused a stir. After the war, the people of Lu Ping and Taiwan Province have not only undergone complicated internal changes, but also the people of Taiwan Province Province are in an uneasy position. It is difficult to find a place for Taiwan Province people in Peiping after the war. Later, he wrote two articles, The Sorrow of Sweet Potato and The Return of the Motherland, which can be said to be reflective works of Chung Li-ho during his stay in Beijing. 1946 at the end of March, Chung Li-ho led his family back to Taiwan and found a job as a substitute teacher in Neipu Junior High School in Pingtung County. Unfortunately, he changed his job in August because of lung disease. Since then, he resigned as a teacher and entered Songshan Sanatorium for long-term recuperation. It was not until the end of 1950+00 that I had two large-scale chest plastic surgery and removed six ribs before I was discharged from the hospital and went home. /kloc-in the first month of 0/954, the second son CoCo Lee died of illness and Chung Li-ho was exhausted. Chung Li-ho wrote down his inner regret and the pain in the wild. This work with the theme of CoCo Lee's death, published in Wild Wind magazine, is the first work accepted by the literary world after his return from illness. After discharge from hospital 10 years, Chung Li-ho has been unable to go out to engage in manual labor, and can only stay at home for illness most of the time. During this period, God never stopped testing his will. He not only entered poverty and disease, but also suffered disasters. His younger brother Zhong was shot when he woke up from the operating bed in the early morning because of the Keelung Middle School case. By the time he got home, the land left by his father had been sold out for treatment. The eldest son Tiemin also suffers from spinal tuberculosis. He hunched his back, because he couldn't raise medical expenses for two people at the same time, and missed the proper medical treatment. During this period, Chung Li-ho still didn't stop writing, and even handed over more wonderful works. 1955 completed the only novel "Lishan Farm", 1956, 1 1 won the second prize of China Literature and Art Award Committee. Winning the prize is not only a breakthrough in his literary career, but also enables him to encourage each other with Taiwan Province writers who are scattered all over the world, such as Liao Qingxiu, Zhong Zhaozheng and Chen Huoquan, and publish Wenyou Newsletter to read and discuss each other's works. Lin edited the supplement of United Daily News and started the creation of local writers. Chung Li-ho's novels and essays finally got more publishing opportunities, which was the happiest time in Chung Li-ho's literary creation career. However, because of the hardships of life, both body and mind suffered serious trauma, and finally 1960 died in August at the age of 46. Chung Li-ho's literary achievements before his death were not recognized by the literary world at that time, and even his family was asked to burn all the manuscripts before his death. After his death, through the efforts of friends such as Lin, the novel Lishan Farm was finally published, realizing his last wish. In 1970s, Mr. Zhang Liangze, a literary researcher in Taiwan Province Province, braved difficulties and edited The Complete Works of Chung Li-ho, which was published by Yuan Jing Publishing House. Chung Li-ho's literary achievements just appeared in front of the world, and even attracted the attention of critics to Chung Li-ho's literary achievements, forming a long-term research trend of "Chung Li-ho". Regarding Chung Li-ho's important position in the literature of Taiwan Province Province, Ying Fenghuang said in "The History of Chung Li-ho Literature Development and Postcolonial Discourse": "If Chung Li-ho is a very representative writer in the history of literature in Taiwan Province Province, the most prominent part should be his so-called colonial writer's personality, which is inseparable from the colonial history of Taiwan Province Province. In fact, the uniqueness of Taiwan Province literature lies in this: this long, complicated and changeable colonial history, whether in the first world or in Chinese mainland literature, is making Taiwan Province literature have its own unique style and characteristics, and it can't be a part of China literature. Chung Li-ho's works and experiences represent an indelible "History of Taiwan Province Province".
