Taking advantage of his grandson, Zhang Gandong snuggled up in his grandmother's arms and listened carefully to her stories about myths, monsters and life at close range. Grandma Zou Houzhen's story will never be finished. It is vivid, orderly and fascinating. Famous plays such as Butterfly Lovers, Dou E's Grief, The West Chamber, The Journey to the West, etc. All of them are vividly expressed by her, and people around her can't stop listening. With the ups and downs of the story, they are either sad or happy. So that when I was not listening to grandma's story in the village that day, the villagers would be restless. I always feel that there is something missing in life. When it rains, some villagers will take my grandmother to their home to listen to her story.
This experience has a profound influence on Zhang Qiandong, and it can also be said that it has laid his future life direction:-writing. For children, it is their nature to like listening to stories, and so is Zhang Gandong. The love of the story can be said to have reached the point where it is impossible to extricate itself. In rural areas, adults or children with labor force have to go to the fields to do farm work during the day, and grandma is no exception. Although stories can enrich people's spirit, they can't get food. At that time, Zhang Gandong was still young and was loved by his grandmother. He was never allowed to work in the fields, and he felt bored. He sat around the yard with the children and asked for a story-telling competition. Everyone takes turns telling stories. If he talks a lot, he can share some snacks given by his parents, but he can't repeat them. After all, children have limited experience and often have to tell stories that cannot be repeated. After a long time, naturally there is no story to tell, and so is Zhang Gandong. The difference is that at that time, in order to listen to fresh stories told by others, he even made up stories by his own imagination and even coaxed some children. Zhang Gandong's father, Zhang Buhe, was a junior high school student in the 1960s. He writes well and has a certain writing skill. If his grandmother enlightened Zhang Gandong's talent, it was his father who led him into his literary home. Before the fourth grade of primary school, almost all his compositions had to be polished by his father. After all, telling stories does not mean writing stories. Over time, under the traction of interest, his writing level gradually improved. In the fourth grade of primary school, the school organized a writing competition for students. If you can win the prize, you can get extra points for further study. At that time, junior high school students had to take exams, often from 10 to 1. The competition is fierce. If you don't take part in the competition, there are two ways out, either you don't study, or you make up classes again and wait for the next year. Therefore, it is very important for children who are studying. Zhang Gandong told the news to his father, who said, for the sake of his son's future, I will give you an article to compete, and you will definitely win the prize. To be honest, he didn't want his father to write anything, but he wrote a composition that night and showed it to his father early in the morning, which was praised by his father. He copied it carefully and handed it over to the paper office of the school. A month later, he won the first prize at a school meeting and was applauded and appreciated by all the teachers and students.
In the fifth grade of primary school, Zhang Gandong met a man he said he would never forget in his life. He has no impression of Xiang Xiaoling's articles now, but at that time Zhang Gandong was intoxicated by the articles he wrote to the teacher again and again. He likes the beautiful artistic conception and sentiment in the articles he wrote to the teacher, which has a far-reaching impact on his future writing direction. Teacher Xiang also likes this little literary model at the moment, and often takes pains to teach him writing skills and experiences. He will carefully read and revise every article in his composition and make suggestions. At the beginning of enlightenment, people will make rapid progress as long as they have personal guidance. Under the guidance of Xiang Xiaoling and his father, Zhang Gandong quickly entered the state of literature and began to write some more readable articles. Under the influence of grandma Zou Houzhen, a master storyteller, under the careful instruction of Zhang Buhe's father and under the careful guidance of Chinese teacher Xiang Xiaoling, Zhang Gandong's first work 199 1 was published in Selected Compositions of National Excellent Primary School Students.
From then on, he began to devote himself to literature, and he was more eager for books. When he was in middle school, his living expenses were not enough, but he still tried to save money. Sometimes he buys books to learn to charge, squeeze a dime to buy envelopes and stamps to contribute, and seize every opportunity to learn and communicate to participate in literary essays and pen meetings. Therefore, literary masterpieces are read one by one, newspapers and magazines are read one by one, prose diaries are written one by one, articles are issued one by one, honorary certificates are taken one by one, and invitations are received one by one. Different magazines, newspapers and literary books have stepped onto his bookshelf one by one.
