In the letter, he described the hardships and difficulties of his 22-year schooling career. The beloved relatives left him one by one, and the rest, in addition to endless loneliness, had an embarrassing life.
Living in a leaky house, his tuition before high school depended on him to catch eels and raise pigs to make money. Sometimes, his father secretly sells them for wine and meat.
When I got to high school, I was even sadder. Walking barefoot on the hot road in summer, shivering in winter.
It was an age with strong self-esteem, but he could only support himself by the scholarship he got after the exam and the certificate posted on the wall.
After reading the whole article, I couldn't help choking.
Just as his opening sentence "I have walked a long way and suffered a lot" seems to be an understatement, but it is extremely heavy to read.
Nine times out of ten, all we can do is try our best to overcome and fight. Even if there is nothing you can do, bite your teeth and stick to it.
There is such a shining star in the long history of literature.
Although he has suffered all his life, he has always been indifferent to himself. His works are ordinary little people, and he was born in that very realistic but unpopular era and became an unparalleled existence.
This man is Lu Yao.
On February 2nd, a little boy named Wang Weiguo was born in a small mountain village in Qingjian County, Shaanxi Province.
Lu Yao was his later name.
When Lu Yao was a child, his family was poor and there were many children. Even eating is a problem.
But one day, his mother made him a new dress and asked him to go out with his father.
On the way, my father took out a dime and bought him a bowl of camellia oleifera. Later, he learned that his father only bought a bowl of camellia oleifera because he only had a dime on him.
At that time, Lu Yao had been immersed in happiness.
When he arrived at his uncle's house, his father told him to gather. He knew it was just an excuse.
He hid behind a tree in the village and watched his father leave with his bag on his back and gradually walked away.
There is not much hatred, and even some understatement. He said his father looked like a thief. But the thief didn't steal anything, but secretly left his son behind.
At that time, Lu Yao was 8 years old.
The scars of childhood have also become unspeakable pain for him.
Although Lu Yao's uncle has no children, his life is not comfortable.
In order to be able to study, he had to work hard with his family to get the support of his uncle. He squeezed out his tuition from that poor family. Later, his aunt even begged for his education.
At that time, it was a great fortune to be able to study. For children from poor families, it is a luxury to eat and wear warm clothes.
When he was not full, he ran to the back hill to find wild vegetables to satisfy his hunger.
Once, a rich classmate in the class brought a white bun. In order to fill his stomach, Lu Yao barked like a dog according to his instructions.
Later, his works won the Mao Dun Literature Prize. He borrowed from the East and the West to receive the prize, and he could not afford to buy his own books for others.
After receiving the prize, the bonus is only enough to repay the loan, and there is no spare capacity to subsidize life.
After becoming famous, Lu Yao's economic situation did not improve, because he not only had to live, but also helped his relatives at home. Therefore, Lu Yao is even in debt for a long time.
But it is also the hardships along the way that have made the extraordinary course in the ordinary world.
Countless falls in life did not break the way forward, but made him realize self-salvation in his writing.
198 1 year, the thrilling scene written by 28-year-old Lu Yao won the national excellent novella award.
This award not only improved Lu Yao's popularity, but also made him know the famous editor Wang, a very important Bole in his life.
Because he had a creative idea that had been brewing for a long time, he accepted Wang's manuscript.
After that, he put on his backpack and returned to northern Shaanxi.
During that time, he lived in a cave and worked more than 18 hours a day. After writing, my face is sunken, my arms are too painful to lift, and my bowel movements are not smooth.
Because of this persistence, Lu Yao only spent 2 1 day to create a novel with 654,380+0.3 million words-Life.
After that, Lu Yao became famous and was regarded as a "life mentor" by many readers.
However, Lu Yao's footsteps did not stop because of the success of life. When everyone was waiting for the end of his life, he set off with his backpack again.
This trip is not for an end, but for a new beginning-an ordinary world.
In order to complete the creation of this masterpiece, he read the People's Daily, Reference News and other newspapers for nearly ten years, reread anna karenine for three times and the History of Entrepreneurship for seven times.
In order to accumulate writing materials, he visited brick factories, coal mines and other workplaces to live with coal miners.
From 1985 to 1988, Lu Yao wrote the trilogy Ordinary World. As soon as this million-word masterpiece came out, it caused a great shock.
Writer Chen once said: "Lu Yao has won the respect and admiration of hundreds of millions of ordinary people in this world. He has communicated the feelings of people in this world and people on the earth."
Lu Yao once compared this creative process to "a gamble at the cost of life". He won and lost the bet.
He has won the respect of the world and exhausted his own efforts.
Four years after Ordinary World was written, Lu Yao died at the age of 42.
Life was hard, but he didn't give in.
He changed his life with a pen and wrote a profound and passionate legend of ordinary people.
Lev tolstoy once said, "The so-called life is constantly changing, that is, the weakness of physical life and the strengthening and expansion of soul life."
Lu Yao wrote limited flesh and blood into his soul, which not only warmed himself, but also illuminated others.
Abandoned by parents when I was young, dragged down by poverty when I was an adult, and when I was miserable in my later years, I could only cry "Mom and Dad" sadly.
Even if he is surrounded by suffering all his life, Lu Yao is still tenacious.
There are no fairy tales in life, and the years are restless.
Each of us is struggling in the whirlpool of life, never flinching or giving up, just for the bright future we look forward to.
Adonis once said: "The world made me black and blue, but the wound grew wings."
Carrying all the hardships of life, it is an ordinary person, an ordinary person's life.
One day, our sufferings will blossom into beautiful flowers.
