Well, if I have anything else to say, I won't say it.
I love learning, but learning will not automatically move into my mind to live; Science lab, um, never been there. I have to say experience. Good or bad, the experience is your own. If I don't tell, no one else will know. This may or may not be interesting.
Creative experience, which also needs to be explained. What to create and how to create nature are two different things. There is no need to be particularly modest, but it is difficult to feel sorry for yourself with a straight face. I want to say "what" instead of "how". But in case I make a mistake and say how good my creation is, please don't forget this-"believe it or not!" "
I didn't find it when I was a child, and no one else saw it. I have a little writing skill. Really, it's not unusual for a bad article to be beaten by a bamboo board. But I can't help but say that I recite more ancient prose than ordinary primary school students, because at school-it was really called school at that time-after class, I went to a private school to read The View of Ancient Prose. I have read the Book of Songs, and I am not bluffing at all-I was poor at that time (I don't know why), but a teacher in a private school didn't want my money.
My middle school is a normal school. Although the classes in normal schools are similar to those in middle schools, they are more or less focused on education and Chinese. I seem to have a natural aversion to geometric algebra and English. When others are doing problems or remembering words, I always read ancient Chinese. I also read poetry, and I learned to write poetry, even poetry. I remember many allusions. It's a pity that I lost all my poems. If I still have them, I will print them! See who is not pleasing to the eye, or see who is not pleasing to the eye, I will give him a copy to make him angry. Poetry can make people fly or die. Besides poetry, I also like botany. This is not because I am interested in this kind of science, but because I like flowers and plants; I still like flowers.
My temper is related to my family. Being poor makes me lonely, especially when I was seventeen or eighteen. A lonely person or a person who loves to meditate alone often leads to pessimism. From 17 to 25, I am a pessimist. I don't like following you The road you take may not look smart, but no one is allowed to say that this road is not smart, so I have to sneer. When I get older, I think this kind of ridicule may be wrong, so I look down on myself. This can be said to be the formation of my humorous attitude-I want to laugh, but I don't exclude myself.
I didn't take part in the May 4th Movement. I had done something by then. I bought all the books published at that time. It was not until I went to Nankai Middle School to teach at the age of twenty-five that I wrote a novel and published it in the school magazine. I haven't left this thing, so I can't tell you what its content and writing are like. It has only a little historical value, my first article-written in vernacular.
When I was 27, I went to England. If I had stayed at home all the time, I wouldn't have become a novelist-even though I was the120th novelist. When I arrived in England, I read novels desperately and regarded them as teaching materials for learning English. I read some, and my fingers itch. When you leave your hometown, you will often feel homesick, and you will naturally think of your life experience in the past few years. Why not write it down? I don't know how to write. Anyway, I'll write when I have time at night, and I'll write whatever comes to mind. This is Lao Zhang's philosophy. As for the style of writing, I haven't got rid of the shackles of the old literature and art. In this way, there is no complete design in the story, no new achievements in the text, and Lao Zhang's philosophy is at sixes and sevens. It is a common fault of the first novel to grab an interesting thing and squeeze it until it is annoying. Lao Zhang's philosophy is such a sick ghost. Now I blush at the thought of it. But it also has a benefit, which is not easy to find again. It's a tiger that just came out of the mountain. It knows nothing and is not afraid of anything. Now I have some experience, but I'm afraid. It won't make people watch it again and again, but it can give people temporary warning and stimulation. I don't want to write this kind of thing anymore, or I can't write it if I want to. I have grown a few years, but my energy is a little poor.
Zhao Ziyue, the second book, is slightly stronger than Lao Zhang in structure, but the hate of words and the exaggeration of narration remain the same. The main purpose of these two books is to expose the facts, not far from the "shady view". Theory is just common sense, it stinks all the time!
Two Horses was written in the last year in England. After reading many novels, the structure and description of this book have been improved a little. There has also been progress in writing: I no longer rely on classical Chinese, but want to write completely in vernacular Chinese. Its shortcomings are: first, it was closed before it was finished, because it had to be handed in before leaving Britain; I should write 200,000 words. Second, the thinking is too shallow: the motivation for writing it is to compare the differences between Chinese and English peoples; This is a report at best. It can be interesting, but it is hard to be great. Besides, almost all the people in the book are middle class, which is too narrow.
"Xiaopo's Birthday", in terms of words, is something to be proud of: I have set down the vernacular, and I can write everything in the simplest words. This novel laid the foundation for my works after returning to China, and I am no longer afraid of vernacular Chinese; I understand the power of vernacular. Three quarters of this book was written in Singapore and completed in Shanghai. I think those realistic places in it should be deleted all the time, but I haven't had time to delete them until now.
Daming Lake was written in Jinan, but fortunately it was burned in December 28th, because the content was boring. There are some good paragraphs in the text, but the beauty of words is not enough. I didn't leave a manuscript, and now I don't want to write any more. Cat City is the sister of Daming Lake, and it is not very strong.
Divorce is better, although humorous, but very different from Lao Zhang; I know how to control myself.
As for short stories, it is only an experiment in the last two years. I know I can't write anything better than others, but I still can't help but write; Everyone is asking me for a draft. How can it be long? I am not a typewriter. These things-most of which are included in the Expo-are not even good things. I hardly write, and I don't have time to revise it after I finish. How can they be good! If you want to get rich, you can write exclusively, don't teach, don't worry about food and clothing, and concentrate on writing, writing, writing! I don't believe in "poor and backward workers".
The biography of Niu Tianci was released this summer. Since it is "rushing", of course, there is no good goods; I can't scold the publications that are still going on now too much; Why kill yourself?
After 1989, I only achieved so much. There is nothing to be complacent about in quality and quantity. Judging from various criticisms, some people say that I am good and some people say that I am not good. My advantages-in my own opinion-outweigh my shortcomings, so I am very willing to see people criticize me; People say I'm not good, so I get some benefits. Sometimes I know I did something wrong, but I don't have time to correct it-I still have to take 500 thousand!
I don't write much or well, but I sell great strength. These books are all written after class. That is to say: besides teaching and doing things, I have to write. Therefore, the annual leave and summer vacation have never been rested, and it has been seven years! I can't put my homework or things aside and write by myself. I'm sorry to do this. But I can't help writing. Then I have to write in a little time; This is almost "life-threatening". I have never been strong since I was a child, and I have never gained weight once since I was almost forty. I can't get fat. How to gain weight without rest all the year round? But "thin" seems to be a warning. When I look in the mirror, I think: Be careful! So I always go to bed early and get up early, and dare not casually. Write more than two thousand words a day at most, not much; If you write too much, you have to eat more cigarettes. I don't want my lungs to be black as coal! When can I not write a word for three months? That must be more beautiful than being an emperor!
Write more than two thousand words, not much: this is just a rough idea, and sometimes you can't write a word in three days! I don't know if there is anything worse in the world. I look at the paper, and the paper looks at me, which has nothing to do with each other! Sometimes, it is very smooth and the words come quickly. But I can't write down everything I remember in one day, so I always think about it in my mind. Although I am only allowed to write more than 2000 words every day, my heart is not idle. I want to eat and drink tea-tiring! It was only when I finished writing an article that I felt happy, but this happiness was not enough for those hardships. Speaking of which, I don't want to persuade others to write novels! Yes, I did betray my strength. This should be the artist's words: "Art is fake, strength is real!" " Stop here.

Lao She (1899 ~ 1966), a representative of Beijing School, died at the age of 67. His original name was Shu Qingchun, Manchu, Beijinger, China modern novelist, dramatist and famous writer. He used to be a primary school principal, a middle school teacher and a university professor.
His pen names are She Yu and Lao She. He used to be a professor at Shandong University and other well-known universities. His works are included in The Complete Works of Lao She. His major works in his life include Camel Xiangzi, Four Generations under One Family, Dramas Longxugou, Teahouse and so on. 1899 was born in Xiaoyangquan Hutong (now Xiaoyangjia Hutong) in Xicheng, Beijing, a poor family in Manchu city. Modern famous writers and outstanding language masters are known as "people's artists". Manchu was a red flag man, and his father was a Manchu guard who was killed in the street fighting when Eight-Nation Alliance attacked Beijing. The pseudonym Lao She was originally used in the novel Lao Zhang's Philosophy. Other pen names include She Yu, Qian Qing, Yu Qian, Fei Wo and Hongse.
19 13 was admitted to Beijing Normal University. 19 18 graduated from Beijing normal university, and served as the principal of a primary school in the northern suburbs, giving advice to students. The ideological trend of democracy, science and personality liberation aroused by the May 4th New Culture Movement awakened him from the life creed of "running a primary school seriously, respectfully serving his mother, getting married and having children properly". The prosperity of the literary revolution made him "obsessed with new literature and art", thus starting a new starting point in his life and career. 1922 worked as a Chinese teacher in Nankai Middle School. In the same year, the first short story Jason Chung was published. From 65438 to 0924, he went to England and worked as a Chinese lecturer at Oriental College of London University. After teaching, I read a lot of foreign literary works and officially started my creative career. Three satirical novels describing the life of citizens, Lao Zhang's Philosophy, Zhao Ziyue and Ermayina, were published one after another. Since 1925, three novels have been written one after another: Lao Zhang's Philosophy vividly exposes the smoky educational circle; Zhao Ziyue's flogging edge points to the young students who praise the new school, but they are actually intoxicated; The protagonist of Two Horses is a Beijinger living in Britain. Ironically, it is still the abnormal mentality of "leaving the nest" cultivated in the soil of feudal small-scale production society. They all use crisp Beijing spoken language and humorous language to render the folk customs of Beijing, and through the analysis of the national psychology of conservatism and stealing peace, they express their worries about the fate of the motherland, showing their unique artistic personality and ideological perspective. After the three works were serialized in Novel Monthly, they attracted the attention of literary circles. 1926 Lao She joined the Literature Research Association. /kloc-in the summer of 0/929, he returned to China via Europe and Asia. During my stay in Singapore, I was inspired by the rising demand for national liberation and created a novella "Xiaopo's Birthday" reflecting the awakening of the oppressed nation. /kloc-returned to the motherland in 0/930, served as an associate professor at cheeloo university College of Literature in Jinan, and edited Qilu Monthly.
Camel Xiangzi takes the whereabouts of rickshaw driver Xiangzi in Beiping (present-day Beijing) as a clue, and shows people the picture of poor citizens at the bottom of Beijing living in the abyss of pain under the rule of warlords and darkness. From the story of Xiangzi's attempt to get rid of the tragic fate of life through personal struggle, he finally failed or even degenerated, warning people that it is impossible for urban poor peasants to turn over and become masters by personal struggle alone. Camel Xiangzi came out and was translated into more than ten languages, which had a great influence.
Lao She worked hard all his life and created a lot. In 1930s, he became one of the most successful writers, and wrote such novels as Xiaopo's Birthday, A Tale of Cat City, Divorce, Biography of Niu Tianci, Doctor Wen, Camel Xiangzi, Cremation, Four Generations, Drummer Artist and Under the Red Flag (unfinished). After the publication of Camel Xiangzi, it became famous in the literary world, describing the miserable life of people living in the lower classes, marking the formation of Lao She's realistic style and reaching the highest achievement of his novel creation. It is one of the best novels in the history of modern literature in China and has been translated into more than a dozen foreign languages. His works in the 1940s include: novel Cremation, Four Generations under One roof, novella My Life, collection of short stories Anemia, Crescent Moon and collection of popular literature 34 1. The works after the founding of New China mainly include novel Under the Red Flag, reportage Unknown Heights, prose collection Fuxing Ji, script Longxugou, Teahouse and so on. Lao She's literary creation lasted for 40 years, and his works mostly focused on the life of urbanites, with clear love and hate and a strong sense of justice. The characters are distinct and the details are true. He can master the language skillfully, and is good at accurately using Beijing dialect to express characters and describe events, so that his works have a strong local color and a strong flavor of life.
