Vice Chairman of All-China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, All-China Writers Association, Chairman of Beijing Federation of Literary and Art Circles. He is a deputy to the National People's Congress and a member of the Standing Committee of China People's Political Consultative Conference. In the "Cultural Revolution" of 1966, I was humiliated and threw myself into the lake.
Lao She was born in Xiaoyangquan Hutong 1899, Xicheng, Beijing. According to the lunar calendar, that day happened to be the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, that is, the day when the kitchen god went to heaven, so his family gave him a festive name-"Chun Qing". That year was very famous in the modern history of China. According to the traditional calendar of China, this day is called "Hundred Days", and the "Reform Movement of 1898" or "1898 coup" took place in this year. According to the lunar calendar, this year should be the year of the dog, and the twelfth lunar month is at the root of the year, so his aunt gave him a rather ugly nickname-"puppy tail".
His father belonged to Zhenghongqi, a flag soldier guarding the imperial city, and died in Eight-Nation Alliance's invasion of Beijing.
Chun Qing was only one and a half years old. My father died young, and there was no pillar in the family. I had to rely on my mother and sister to wash clothes and work for others to make a living.
He spent his childhood in poverty and loneliness. Narrow alleys, scrawny and messy clearing, old trees with twisted branches, and low courtyard walls with peeling gray skin constitute his whole world, which also creates his self-esteem, self-confidence, fortitude and sensitivity. Regarding mother and childhood, he once said: "I was a poor man since I was a child, and my personality was deeply influenced by my mother-she was a hungry woman who refused to ask for help, and at the same time she was very loyal to others." "In my memory, her hands are red and slightly swollen all the year round. During the day, she washes clothes and one or two big green clay pots. She never does anything perfunctory, even the socks as black as iron sent by the butcher are washed in vain. In the evening, she and her third sister lit oil lamps to mend clothes until midnight. She didn't have a rest all the year round, but in her busy schedule, she kept the yard clean ... In the yard, the pomegranate and oleander left by her father will always be watered and cared for, and many flowers will bloom every summer ... From here, I learned to love flowers, love cleanliness and keep order. " "... my real teacher, who inherits my personality, is my mother. My mother can't read She gave me an education in life. "
Chun Qing is 9 years old and still doesn't know a word because there is no money for him to go to school at home. Small business or apprenticeship may be the most realistic choice. However, at this moment, the appearance of a kind person completely changed his fate.
This man's name is Liu Shoumian, and Chun Qing calls him "Uncle Liu". He came to see me that day and accidentally asked, "How old is the child? Did you go to school? " After listening to his mother's answer, he immediately said, "I'll take him to school tomorrow morning." You don't have to worry about studying money and books, big sister! "
The next day, I followed Uncle Liu to school "like a shameful puppy". It's a private school, located in a broken view not far from his home. In the dark and cold hall, a dirty yellow cloth was covered with mottled statues, and a memorial tablet with holes was placed on the altar. About thirty students of different ages are sitting facing west, and there is a blackboard on the opposite western wall-that's a little different from ordinary private schools. However, the smell that pervaded the temple left a deep impression on Chun Qing: the pungent smell of big smoke, the smell of saccharin coming from the sugar workshop next door, and the smell of feces coming out of the toilet pit. Therefore, it seems that it can also be called "three pools printing the moon". The teacher surnamed Li is a "very rigid and caring middle-aged man". Under the guidance of Uncle Liu, he became a student here with Confucius as his teacher. "The beginning of life, nature is good. Sex is similar, but the distance of learning from each other is far away ... ",Sanzi Jing is the first lesson of Chun Qing's enlightenment.
