1958 was born, 1976 graduated from Beijing No.44 Middle School. Later, he joined the North Sea Fleet of the Chinese People's Navy as a health worker. 1980 retired and returned to Beijing as a salesman in the drug wholesale store of Beijing Pharmaceutical Company. He resigned on 1983 to make a living by writing. 1978 started writing literature. Since 1984, when his first novella "Flight Attendant" was published in the contemporary era, he has created 22 novellas and 3 novels, with about1600,000 words, and created dozens of TV dramas. 1997 65438+ 10 went to America in October. 65438+/kloc-0 returned to China in July, 1997, and engaged in freelance writing. Physical development coincides with three years of natural disasters, and education catches up with the Cultural Revolution. This is called total malnutrition. He doesn't have any skills, but he knows about three or five thousand words. It is the kind of person who aims high and is only ignorant. He should do nothing all his life and be a stone at the feet of others. It is also that life should not be doomed, social change is difficult, and it is difficult to be peaceful. In order to make the world stand in a cone in the future, it is a sink, dancing and writing —— Wang Shuo's quotations define the backbone of China culture: Who is the best author? That is, those who read widely and have a strong cultural background, that is, those who know the routines best, are called old scoundrels and slick. I have done such a work, and I am in awe of such an author. It's not easy. There are waves on the ground, no hard pen. You also need to quote classics and be rich and colorful. Sometimes I think this is the writer, the backbone of China culture. Wang Shuo said critics: critics and writers are independent opinion expressers, except that writers take themselves as materials, and critics take writers as materials, all of which put their own views first and then find materials to support them. Wang Shuo said art and entertainment: optimism is not necessarily entertainment, pessimism is definitely not entertainment, that is to say, art is to put things in people's hearts, and entertainment is to take things out of people's hearts. Conversely, art is not necessarily pessimistic, and entertainment must be optimistic. Wang Shuo on Beijing culture: Beijing culture has a sense of arrogance, and whoever sees it will be destroyed. Wang Shuo said Lao She: Lao She, like most of his contemporaries, has only been a good writer for half his life. Wang Shuo said the wise man: Ming people have a characteristic, that is, they are good at doing worthless things vividly, swimming in glass fish tanks, and have the courage to ride the wind and waves. Wang Shuo said that Jin Yong's novels are: overall impression, repetitive plot, verbose writing, always fighting when they meet, and no one can make a word clear. People fall from the sky when they are dying, and all the characters have some random vendettas, which is also the reason that drives the whole story. Wang Shuo said gold powder: Jin Yong can sell it because everyone lives too tired, and many people are still timid. So they are willing to stop for a while and massage their heads with words, so that they can have some heroism for no reason, then feel the good and evil, and finally hold this cheap talk in ancient China, and they can have a little hope when they suffer the next day. Ten short stories that touched Wang Shuo: The Story of Yingying, The White Maiden's Leifeng Pagoda, The Postman, A Story Dedicated to Esme, Worrying about the Country, A Hairless Mexican, A Turn of the Neck, Three Tales of Judas, Picking the Roses and They Are Not Your Husbands. In a word, I don't like to see a decent person living a decent life for fear that others don't know. My taste is between educated patients and fashionable young women. Wang Shuo's definition of the middle class is: the middle class does not have to be divided from economic income. People who are content with the status quo and respect the existing social class and moral norms can be classified into the middle class conceptually. Wang Shuo said Hollywood: Hollywood is the epitome of the values of the middle class, and it also promotes patriotism and respects family ethics. The story ends successfully, and justice finally triumphs over evil. They respect the audience the most, so we can say that the inspection system is located in the audience. Wang Shuo said thought: thought is discovery, resistance, and an uncomfortable exposure to the human nature and life truth of most people. Wang Shuo said that people: the lowly are the cleverest, and the noble are the stupidest. Wang Shuo said businessmen: businessmen have people in their hearts. Here, two slogans, all for the people, all for money, don't fight. They are accepted by the broadest masses of the people and are also the most profitable. Wang Shuo believes in the mass theory: I used to believe in the masses and thought that their eyes were discerning, if not discerning. I stumbled across Jin Yong's case. Everyone said yes, it seems really not good. Sometimes we can really make up a big lie with Qi Xin. Wang Shuo's unforgettable riddle: What does the wall say-meet at the corner. About the author: Born in 1958 and living in Beijing. My mother is a doctor and my father is a faculty member of the PLA Political College. Although he is not a scholar, his family is well-off, and he is a typical Beijing citizen family (this background is of great benefit to the description of ordinary life in Beijing in his later works). When Wang Shuo was young, he lived in a military compound. What the children do every day is just group fighting, but that free day left a deep impression on Wang Shuo. His later novella Beast (once adapted into the film Sunny Days) was written about the feelings at that time. Wang Shuo studied in Shaoshan Middle School when he was a teenager. He is not a stubborn student at school. He even took part in the "April 5" incident of 1976 with the belief that every man has a responsibility. Although he was not a mighty and unyielding hero, he was also imprisoned for three months. 1in the summer of 976, Wang Shuo went to Shandong to join the army after graduating from high school. As he described in Beast, he longed for war and wanted to be a hero. However, he did not become a man of the hour in the army. He is just an ordinary "helmsman", a health worker and even a chef. 1978 when the university resumed enrollment, Wang Shuo had the desire to apply for liberal arts, so he began to practice writing. During this period, he accidentally contributed to the "People's Liberation Army Literature and Art" and was selected. This is his first novel, the short story Waiting. Waiting is a novel with a strong sense of the times and quite childish, and its writing is still very student-like. However, when the Gang of Four was just smashed in 1978, it was undoubtedly fresh and gratifying, and its popularity clearly showed Wang Shuo's creative potential. Since then, Wang Shuo has written several works on military themes, but the response is not great. In the meantime, he tried to do business, but it seems that the timing is not good. Not only did I not make any money, but I also experienced many feelings of being cheated. This experience of making money was later recorded in Rubber Man (adapted into the film Panting) and Xu Ye. When his business failed, he began to create in idleness again. The merchant's perspective let him know what is suitable for sale, so he chose this mysterious "flight attendant" in the eyes of ordinary people as his description object, which really hit the target in the contemporary era.
