But it is undeniable that Wang Xiaobo's works have influenced countless people. I remember when I was in college, I always went to the library to find Wang Xiaobo's Golden Age. For students who are not deeply involved in the world, the contents in the book are full of temptations.
Wang Xiaobo's views on sex are straightforward. In the book review of Sociology of Sex, I wrote: In fact, sex is also a very important thing in China's life, and our attitude of enjoying sex life is no different from that of foreigners. There is no need to play games in this respect.
Golden Age is Wang Xiaobo's favorite.
1952, Wang Xiaobo was born in an intellectual family. When he was born, there were two sisters and one brother at home. The second among boys, and the hero of "Golden Age" is called Wang Er. I wonder if it is a true portrayal of Wang Xiaobo.
Wang Xiaobo once said that The Golden Age was his favorite. Perhaps because of this book, it changed his fate. I wrote it back and forth for 20 years.
On the recommendation of Xu Zhuoyun, he won the most important literary prize in Taiwan Province Province: the novella prize of the United Daily News Department of Taiwan Province Province. He won a huge prize of 250 thousand pounds, which made him decide to quit his job as a lecturer and become a writer.
However, this book did not shine because of winning the prize. On the contrary, after it was published in Hong Kong and Taiwan, it was labeled as a yellow novel and even renamed the History of Wang Erfeng. On the mainland, even publishing has become a problem. Wang Xiaobo asked why, and the answer given by the publishing house was: The novel is wonderful, but I dare not publish it now.
A large part of the reason is that the article is full of straightforward sexual descriptions, until Zhao Jieping, the department director of Huaxia Publishing House, couldn't bear to publish such a good work. In the absence of the editor-in-chief, The Golden Age was finally published.
How straightforward is the sexual description in the golden age?
So what kind of story did the golden age tell? This can be said to be a love story, but unlike others' obscure love, the hero's love is simple and rude.
There was an overwhelming description of sex in the golden age. According to statistics, there are always more than 100 words and behaviors related to sex, among which there are several straightforward descriptions of sex-Wang Xiaobo called it "our great friendship".
The story happened in the day when Wang Er was sent to Yunnan. That year, Wang Er was 265,438+0 years old, and his waist injury was unbearable. He went to see a beautiful doctor, Chen Qingyang. Half an hour later, Chen Qingyang came downstairs to see him and discussed with her that he was described as a prostitute.
Wang Er began his exposition of great friendship, hoping that the two of them could "celebrate our great friendship". The two went back and forth like this and did it many times. Later, Chen Qingyang accompanied Wang Er to live in the mountains for more than half a year.
Until the leader found out, and then went down the mountain to accept all kinds of criticism. Then, they dispersed. Twenty years later, they met again and once again "forged a great friendship." Since then, Wang Er has never seen her again.
There are many wonderful and straightforward sexual descriptions in the Golden Age, such as the reason why Chen Qingyang was identified as a prostitute:
"Everyone thinks that a married woman should have a black face and drooping chest if she doesn't steal Han; But your face is not black or white, and your breasts are not drooping and towering. Naturally, you are considered a prostitute. "
In order to prove that you are not a prostitute, you must prove your chastity. This is impossible for Chen Qingyang, a married woman. So she chose to be a real prostitute. At this time, people around her no longer think that she is a whore.
This undoubtedly reflects the contradiction and explicitness of human nature. Maybe it doesn't matter to the people around him whether Chen Qingyang is a prostitute or not. They just want to see Chen Qingyang make a fool of himself. But they didn't expect that Chen Qingyang chose the most straightforward way to deal with human nature. If you can't prove that you are not a prostitute, you will become a real prostitute.
For the golden age, straightforward sexual description has become a major feature of this book. But it also caused a lot of controversy. Like many literati, Wang Xiaobo was unknown before his death and respected after his death.
Gao has shown his admiration for Wang Xiaobo many times in the program. He said:
"With my limited reading, Wang Xiaobo is definitely ranked first among the vernacular writers I have ever seen, and is far from the second place. He is a god-like existence in my heart. "
Feng Tang, he said:
The first advantage of Wang Xiaobo's works is that they are interesting. Wavelet words, such as diamonds shining, spring flowers with dew, are brilliant and charming.
Li Yinhe: Xiaobo is a poet and walks like a poet.
Now many people are confused, so it is better to reread Wang Xiaobo. In this complicated world, you can also have the ability to have an interesting soul! I recommend Time Trilogy, which contains all the novels published by Wang Xiaobo before his death: Golden Age, Black Iron Age and Silver Age. Interested friends can click on the link to see!
