As Lu Yao was born in the countryside, his writing materials basically came from rural life. He has always believed that he is "the son of a farmer's blood" and "a person with both rural and urban flavor". He firmly believes that "the greatest happiness in life may lie in the process of creation, not in the result". Therefore, he believes that "only in extremely heavy labor can people live more fully." He always feels life with a deeply entangled hometown complex and a heavy feeling of life, and regards the land of northern Shaanxi as an eternal poetic symbol. Whenever his creation enters a trough, he will go to his hometown of Maowusu Desert in northern Shaanxi alone, where he will examine himself and observe the society. Lu Yao's creative prose "Morning Begins at Noon" is letting us enter his inner world through his works, from which we can see his persistence in literature and the hardships in his creation. "Every word is meticulous, and ten years of hard work is extraordinary." It is this that makes us see the difficult road after flowers and applause. Lu Yao's pursuit and success, his worries and contradictions are closely related to his psychological structure. He is called an "indigenous" writer, mainly influenced by peasant culture. As a farmer's son, he deeply loves his hometown, inherits and accepts the influence of traditional culture, and regards farmer's life as his inexhaustible source. But he is also a "civilized" writer. He is ambitious, receptive and always full of expectations for world culture. He likes A Dream of Red Mansions and Lu Xun's works and never tires of reading Balzac, Tolstoy and sholokhov's works. He often reads all kinds of newspapers and periodicals, diligently reads a lot, and his colorful real life, coupled with his unique life experience, makes his creation profound and profound. [Edit this paragraph] Lu Yao wrote millions of words of literary works when he was a teenager. Lu Yao, a writer who eulogized and shouted for our ideal life, has quietly left us for seven years, although we don't want to believe this for a long time. This writer, who was born and raised in the yellow land, seems to have turned into a handful of loess and landed on every mountain top. It also seems to have turned into wisps of smoke, which permeates every cave and leaves us with infinite thoughts and wealth. 1949 In the winter, a boy was born in a very remote barren mountain ditch in Qingjian County, northern Shaanxi. The illiterate peasant father never imagined that his son would become a famous writer who shocked China's literary world in the future. When Lu Yao was born into this world, the living environment of his family and social life did not show him the gorgeous color like a rose. His family is poor. A dozen people have only one quilt, and they are short of clothes and food. More and more children have become the main burden of this family. Childhood is far away, especially smart and sensible. His mother once said: "My family Lu Yao was a clever boy since childhood, that is, a clever brain (Qingjian dialect, that is, a clever brain), and never let me worry." When he was seven or eight years old, he could chop wood. He bundled the split wood and piled it on the alkali embankment. It is so beautiful that people can't bear to burn it. "After Lu Yao finished the first grade in Wang Jiabao, poor families could no longer make ends meet, so parents decided to adopt their eldest son Lu Yao to Guo Jiagou's brother in Yanchuan County, hundreds of miles away. It was an autumn morning, and my father dragged Luyao away from Wang Jiabao, crossed Jiulishan and walked along Xiuyan River to his uncle's house. I went to Qingjian County for one night and had no money to eat, so my father had to feed him with raw corn cob. At dawn the next day, his father bought him a bowl of camellia oleifera with only a dime, and then continued on his way. For hundreds of miles, Lu Yao wore a pair of worn-out cloth shoes. When he arrived at his destination, his clothes were worn out and many blood bubbles were worn out on his feet. Lu Yao was only 8 years old at that time. The next morning, my father left on the pretext of going to the market. Lu Yao hid behind an old locust tree in the village, watching his father in tears, leaving quietly like a thief with a bag on his back. In this way, Lu Yao left his hometown for five years, and his parents rarely came to visit him and were unable to care about him. Walking from Qingjian's hometown to Guojiagou in Yanchuan is a bitter course of Lu Yao's life, and he generally doesn't want to tell anyone. /kloc-one moonlit night in 0/987, Lu Yao once talked about this with his good friend Zhu. He said that he seldom went to Qingjian County as an adult, because that place used to be "the place where I was sad and shed tears". From then on, Lu Yao lived with his adoptive parents. A loving and simple foster mother, like shavings of Pleurotus ostreatus on the yellow land, blooms brilliantly in loneliness. She and her wife regard Lu Yao as their son and let him eat and wear whatever he wants. Adoptive parents sometimes can't even supply rations, so Lu Yao often goes to the wilderness alone, looking for the remaining corn kernels to satisfy his hunger in the harvested land. With the support of honest and kind adoptive parents, Lu Yao spent his student days. Lu Yao's adoptive father is also a farmer. He has no children and his family is poor. He can barely afford to send Lu Yao to the primary school in the village. At that time, Lu Yao often worried for a long time because a few cents could not afford a pencil. In primary school, Lu Yao was most afraid of taking art classes. There is no road paper, no watercolor paint, and you can't even buy finger-sized 12 hard watercolors-ten cents each. He was helpless, just sitting there watching his classmates paint sadly, or finding an excuse to leave the classroom and not coming back until class was over. In primary school, Lu Yao was very observant. He once gave every student in his class a funny and appropriate nickname according to their looks, height, pronunciation habits and family background. When Lu Yao entered junior high school, his adoptive father refused to let him take the exam because of his life. Lu Yao knew in his heart that his adoptive father really didn't have the ability to send him to school. But Lu Yao, who is stubborn by nature, has to prove that he can do it with tears! At that time, among more than 1000 candidates, the county middle school only recruited 100. As a result, Lu Yao won the first game of his life. However, there is really no money at home. Half a month passed and Lu Yao was not registered. When Donosi borrows land to raise money for registration, the school will not accept it according to the regulations. Lu Yao cried and found the secretary of the village party branch who was holding a party congress in the county. The kind-hearted village party secretary led him to see the county magistrate, director, principal and finally the Bureau of Culture and Education before accepting the poor student. Three years in junior high school is the most difficult and difficult experience in Lu Yao's life. He has no living security, and he can't even pay five or six yuan a month for food. Sometimes he can't even cook radish dishes with seven-fifths of water. At that time, the school meals were divided into three grades: A, B and C. Luyao ate all C-class meals: porridge, black corn and wild vegetables. And these are all collected by his good classmates. Every Sunday, Lu Yao goes back to the village to take part in labor, calling cattle to cultivate private plots, carrying crops in the fields, earning work points and supplementing the income of poor families ... Therefore, he is praised by villagers and often wins labor awards. A small distance is not only the satisfaction of everything around, but also a desert's yearning for the outside world like a clear spring. Want to know the situation outside, there is no other way, only reading all kinds of books. As a result, Lu Yao became interested in all kinds of books and read them hungrily. After reading the textbook several times, Lu Yao stopped, but he only likes to cook oil and light a lamp and read extracurricular books every night. This may be one of the reasons why his academic performance is average, but his exam performance is relatively high. Before 17 years old, Lu Yao had never even been out of the county, but he knew the outside world like the back of his hand. Lu Yao dreamed of writing a book one day and telling his thoughts to more people happily, which made him want to write, so Lu Yao wrote every composition carefully in primary and secondary schools. In middle school, Lu Yao became interested in literary works. At that time, he almost greedily read books such as How Steel was Tempered, Young Guards, Destruction and Liu Tie, not only for creation, but also for training himself into a strong-willed person. In Lu Yao's middle school days, Chang Yourun, his class teacher, helped him the most and had the deepest influence. Teacher Chang saw from Lu Yao's composition that he was a promising literary seedling and began to consciously let him develop in this respect. As long as what needs to be written in class, the teacher often asks Lu Yao to try. Once, there was a reading meeting in the class, with poems, essays and drama fragments. In order to make this activity colorful and exercise Lu Yao, Mr. Chang asked Lu Yao to write the serial words of the party in literary language. At the party, beautiful serial words and wonderful recitation won applause from teachers and students. Teacher Chang also gave Lu Yao many literary books he had accumulated, including How Steel was Tempered, Day and Night, Red Flag Spectrum, History of Entrepreneurship, A Dream of Red Mansions, Romance of the Three Kingdoms and other Chinese and foreign masterpieces. Teacher Chang selflessly gave his wealth to this gifted poor student, hoping that Lu Yao would become a success in the future. Therefore, even if Lu Yao became famous, he regarded this teacher as a lifelong confidant and often visited Mr. Chang's house to thank him for his cultivation. 1966, after graduating from high school, Yao Lu returned to the countryside to teach, and then transferred to the county cultural and art troupe to work as a screenwriter. The experience of hunger and miserable life left a very strong impression on Lu Yao, which also prompted him to pick up his pen to reflect all this sadness or pain. Everything written by Lu Yao in "In Hard Days" and "Ordinary World" has its own bitter shadow. Fate didn't bring food and clothing and nobility to Lu Yao, but it made him deeply realize the hardships and tiredness of life. As he wrote in "Ordinary World": "We come from a poor peasant family-never underestimate our origin, and its benefits will be inexhaustible in our life." Because he reads a lot, writes neatly, and the flowers of folk art in northern Shaanxi bloom everywhere, which gives him "the nourishment of the day after tomorrow", so Lu Yao's confidence in literary creation is getting higher and higher. Under the pseudonym "Sakura Red", two poems, Willow on the Wall and Car Crossing Nanjing Bridge, were published in the mimeographed publication "Revolutionary Culture" of the County Cultural Center. As soon as these two guns were fired, Lu Yao marched inexorably into the literary world, sometimes reaching the point of forgetting to eat or sleep. Lu Yao kept writing and writing. In a short period of 1972, he wrote more than 50 poems, six of which were published in newspapers. His popularity is increasing. At the same time, Lu Yao, together with Cao Guxi, Bai Junmin, Zheng Tao and other literary friends, founded the literary tabloid Mountain Flower, which belongs to their world. They write, edit and print their own manuscripts, and strive to publish Mountain Flowers, a tabloid full of earthy flavor. On the other hand, "Mountain Flower" has sincerely changed every one of them with its attractive charm. For Lu Yao, there seems to be an important turning point. As Lu Yao said at the 10th anniversary meeting of Shanhua, "Art is changing a person's life track with its great charm. I am deeply grateful to my dear "mountain flower", which is exactly the case. "1973, 23-year-old Lu Yao was recommended to the Chinese Department of Yan 'an University step by step and began to study hard at the cold window. Hungry and greedy, he sucked the flowers in the literary world and entered a new post station in his life journey.
