Formerly known as Chen Yongshan, his pen name is Xu Nancun.
Ying Ge Town, northern county, Taiwan Province.
After graduating from Tamkang University of Arts and Science in Taiwan Province Province, he was the editor of Literature Quarterly.
His first novel Noodles Tan was published in 1959.
For more than 20 years, he wrote novels under the pseudonym of Chen Yingzhen and literary criticism under the pseudonym of Xu Nancun.
He is the author of a collection of short stories, General's Family, First Job, Night Prison Car, Selected Works of Chen Yingzhen, etc. Chen Yingzhen's Selected Novels contains his works in various historical periods.
Chen Yingzhen was born in a poor family in the countryside and believed in Christianity.
His father became an intellectual through hard self-study and then moved to the city.
1958 My father died and my family came down. This gloomy memory and all kinds of difficulties and setbacks caused by it became the main reason for the pale tone of his early works.
1968, on the eve of his visit to the United States at the invitation of the International Writing Project of the University of Iowa, he was arrested by the authorities for reading * * * and Lu Xun's works and was imprisoned for 8 years.
Published in 1975.
1977, the local literature movement in Taiwan Province Province rose, and Chen Yingzhen became the main leader. He successively wrote "Establishing the Style of National Literature" and "Literature from Society Reflects Society", in order to maintain the realistic character of local literature, and clearly advocate opposing the total westernization of literature and establishing the national style; Literature should care about people's livelihood and national freedom and independence; Literature should promote social progress.
1979 12 he was arrested again for the "kaohsiung incident" and was released immediately because he was innocent.
Chen Yingzhen's creation can be roughly divided into three periods: 1959- 196 1 year. The novels dedicated to Bi Hui mainly describe the life and thoughts of the petty bourgeoisie, and their works are full of melancholy, sadness and depression. 1961-1965, a novel dedicated to modern literature, mainly describes the life and homesickness of mainlanders and expresses the ideal of reunifying the motherland; 1975 After he was released from prison, sentimentality disappeared in his works, and he appeared bright, rational and ironic. He turned from describing personal inner feelings to describing real life. Burning the midnight oil, a day for an office worker, novellas Cloud and Zhao Nandong are the representative works of writers in this period.
Chen Yingzhen's works mainly focus on the life of the petty bourgeoisie in Taiwan Province Province. They are full of enthusiasm and idealism, but they are different in different periods.
His expression method is mainly realism, but there are also strong symbolism and romanticism. His early works mainly depict the characters' hearts, while his later works focus on expressing the characters' characters through their words and deeds.
In an article about Chen Yingzhen published under the pseudonym of Xu Nancun, Chen Yingzhen once made wonderful comments on himself and Taiwan Province contemporary literature.
On September 7th, 1984, I visited Taipei Dongding Hospital.
She can't help recalling the days when she was imprisoned.
She was taken away by the Secrecy Bureau at the age of 19. 1975 was a 44-year-old middle-aged woman when she came home for Amnesty.
Zhao Qingyun's wife, Sister Song, is a difficult friend.
Sister Song was pregnant when she was punished.
Even if you are tortured, you can even forget the physical pain because you are absorbed in the baby.
"I curled up, my hand was too hard to protect my stomach. I'm only worried that they will kick my children. They will kick my head, legs and back. As long as they don't kick me in the stomach, I won't feel pain ... "Sister Song's strong maternal warmth makes people feel that they don't know how to say it.
The child's name is Zhao Nandong, and she looks as strong as a guava, so she is called a little guava. Ye Chunmei will never forget that moment: Sister Song, who quietly walked out of the detention room screaming loudly, entrusted her with:-Chun Mei, please do it anyway ... Since then, she has never seen Little Guava again, although she has reported to him many times.
Until now, she has seen the husband of Sister Song who is sick, but she has never seen Zhao Nandong who has grown up.
September 1 1.
Zhao is really exhausted these days.
His father was dying, his position collapsed, and he tried his best to defend himself, which made him have a deep understanding of life.
Father may just be maintaining his thin life.
He first met his younger brother Zhao Nandong when he was 6 years old.
He is beautiful and gentle like a girl.
Young Zhao made a strong wish: to stand on his own feet as soon as possible, get married and grow up with his younger brother ... My younger brother is getting more and more beautiful every day.
He wandered around the school and couldn't finish his studies at all.
He attracts all women. He likes eating, wearing and everything that can satisfy his senses.
His kind face depicts innocence and no scheming, but the passion burning in those beautiful eyes can make all women fall at his feet.
One day, Zhao found out that his brother was sleeping with a man after taking drugs. In a rage, he kicked his brother out of the house and never lived together again. Zhao himself slipped into a rich, greedy and corrupt world step by step and became a disgraced businessman. He is disgusted with his change.
After my father got out of prison, he especially wanted to meet Nandong.
Zhao tried his best to find his brother.
He is still incredibly beautiful, and Zhao feels that the ethical structure in his heart has been pushed down.
Zhao Nandong is suspected of drug trafficking and some erotic incidents. He spent three years in prison.
Mo Wei is his lover.
When Zhao found her, she still had an irresistible love for Nandong, and she was the one who really saw Nandong.
"Bisexuality, they are to keep the body alive.
They are what they want.
They showed their desires without shame.
"Zhao saw two men who looked dead * * * lying naked in bed.
At 9: 00 am on September 12, Zhao Qingyun opened his eyes and saw a light at room temperature.
He met his wife Song Rongxuan.
Still young, still so focused.
He saw Zhang Ximing, a music student.
In prison, he conducted Shostakovich's symphony No.3 in C flat major, which gave people lofty spiritual enjoyment, and he also made friends with other difficult friends.
After 40 years in prison, a whole generation died for the motherland, and now it's time to rest in peace.
In this way, when Zhao Qingyun's mind echoed with high-spirited music and vigorous life movements, he died exhausted.
September 12.
Zhao Nandong, who came out of a dark and deserted corner in Taipei at 6: 50 pm, suddenly felt restless. He rushed to the hospital only to find his dead father. After his father was tortured, he was very calm after his death. He never cries. He felt dizzy, his hands began to tremble and his face turned blue.
Take the anesthetic out of your pocket and suck it greedily.
Empty eyes, still delicate
An hour later, Ye Chunmei came to the hospital. She saw Zhao Nandong with empty eyes.
"Little guava! Sister Song, this is your son! " Like a mother seeing her own blood, she stepped forward to hold Zhao Nandong, who was weak and unconscious.
After all, she found him.
She stopped a taxi, settled Zhao Nandong first, and then sat down and slammed the door.
Then, he said to the driver, "Shi Jizai."
Appreciation of Works Chen Yingzhen used such beautiful words in this novella to discuss the problem of "being and nothingness".
Zhao Nandong, a beautiful body, hides the painful nothingness.
Through Ye Chunmei's memories, I know how difficult it was for him to come to this world! The tortured mother would rather use other parts of her body as a shield to protect the sprouting seeds.
Zhao Nandong was loved and persecuted before he was born. His birth is the legendary supreme maternal love and great sorrow.
His pain is not his pain, but his nothingness brings pain to those who love him.
Zhao, Mary and they are madly in love with a man who has lost his soul.
Zhao Nandong has no intention. "Love" means not loving him, because he doesn't know anything about love.
And he is known as "God of Love".
At least, what Chen Yingzhen intends to show is two kinds of nothingness, one is sex and the other is life.
There is no doubt that Zhao Nandong is the embodiment of sex.
He is handsome, charming and popular everywhere.
However, the reflection on this "sex" is unpleasant at the thought of emptiness.
Because this "sex" is depressing and painful.
Zhao's affection for his younger brother transcends blood relationship. He is infatuated with his younger brother's sexiness and always puts him in a feminine and sheltered position.
His younger brother is the most unexplored content in his life.
He loves him, but he will only lose him.
At the same time, Zhao is real, while Zhao Nandong is very nothingness.
My brother's bohemian sex life is no less than an idyllic poem, sometimes wild, sometimes quiet and moving.
He tolerates all his younger brother's girlfriends because he is incompetent, because he doesn't ask for anything in return, but he can't tolerate Nandong's homosexual behavior because he is incompetent and can't replace that man.
Zhao's memories can be regarded as * * * thoughts. He devoted himself to his memories with deep love, but the object of his love was his younger brother Zhao Nandong.
However, although Zhao Nandong is regarded as a symbol of sex in the eyes of everyone, he has lost * * *.
It is true that he is beautiful, his calm and obsessed eyes can attract all women, and there is never a lack of new female companions in his life, and all this is just his body, a beautiful body named Zhao Nandong.
His heart is pale, lonely and sick.
As Mo Wei said, "They live with their bodies." In a beautiful body, there is no soul and no desire.
Zhao Nandong always pursues * * * and pleasure in such a worrying way, in fact, just to cover up the pain of losing his heart.
He has experienced * * *, men and women, and drug abuse crimes.
The smell of the senses makes people stop breathing.
Chen Yingzhen's vivid description of the incarnation of Zun is nothing more than conveying an idea: in a generation without history, * * * is the most important, and they have long lost their nature.
Always on the basis of "asexuality", there is a * * *.
* * * itself is absurd and nihilistic.
You can refer to a passage in Tang Qianxi's play: "Men are generally animals that must constantly prove their gender; He must prove himself in bed.
Unfortunately ... in his permanent confirmation, he got endless anxiety, frustration and fear of castration. "When Nan-dong Zhao finally appeared, the remaining pale color was embraced by Ye Chunmei's mother's hand.
Men have a strong sense of anxiety.
As for life, it mainly expresses its disillusionment and profound significance through Zhao Qingyun and his wife.
Zhao Qingyun and his wife spent most of their lives in prison.
They gave birth to a son who was as depraved, vulgar and nihilistic as Zhao, but they had great beliefs and never forgot their ambitions all their lives.
They always describe life with their big hands.
Song Rongxuan loves life with unspeakable maternal love, a small and empty life.
At the end of his life, Zhao Qingyun heard Shostakovich's loudest symphony.
On the way to death, there is a kind of ups and downs, which proves that even death is not nothingness.
The generation of great joy and great sorrow, the generation that wrote music with life, was replaced by later nihilists.
There are mediocre people without souls in the world, and the existence of history is, after all, facing emptiness as history.
Didn't Zhao Qingyun feel very tired after hearing Mayday, and then fell asleep quietly? He imagined his death as a "deep sleep" that would be resurrected, but his son Zhao Nandong did not shed a tear when he looked at his dead father. The gorgeous life imagined by his father is worthless to his son.
Sex is empty, and life is empty.
Of course, nothingness was born in the 1990s and 1980s. History has its unshirkable responsibility in those years of fear and tears hidden behind the anti-pornography policy.
Zhao Nandong's language keeps the consistent style of Chen Yingzhen's works.
As Jiang Xun said, "Chen Yingzhen's novels have always maintained a very monologue style, similar to the confession of the soul, so they created a special atmosphere in the use of words and formed a poetic novel language with Chen Yingzhen style." One advantage of his language is that it is free and easy.
He can control his emotions so that they don't overflow.
For example, Zhao Nandong's sexy and plain, like a strong but gloomy oil painting, exudes an ancient and cold beauty.
The structure of the full text is obviously divergent.
Taking Zhao Qingyun's medical history as the fulcrum, that is to say, taking this as an opportunity, the subjective shots of relevant figures are recorded one by one.
With the characteristics of modernist novels, time has been repeated many times, but the mentality of the characters has deepened again and again.
It's like a multi-faceted movie, and everyone pays attention to each character.
Moreover, the divergent structure has a solid center, which is the protagonist Zhao Nandong.
Recalling his childhood, Zhao recalled his younger brother's decadent and empty growth experience. Zhao Nandong realistically expressed his disillusioned existence, and Zhao Nandong's nothingness became the theme.
But Chen Yingzhen's pursuit of form is still limited. Although he adopts the form of multi-voice, he is still very strict.
In such a rigorous realistic style, I realized the emptiness of * * * and the great sorrow of life.
(Juck Zhang)
This novel not only narrates in the way of historical biography, but also shapes the manners and characteristics of the characters, which is of course an indispensable connotation of biography. I hope to convey the author's thoughts and thoughts with the characters in the novel as the main body. The writing attempt is also unspeakable and the writing attitude is serious. It seems that I want to state it in this way, revealing the author's deep consciousness between the lines, and the scope of reference also has strong and sincere belief significance.
Zhao Qingyun in the article was imprisoned because of political events, and almost died. When readers first read it, they always think it is a tragedy of the authoritarian era, which should be the author's accusation against this era and even the criticism of the rulers at that time. With the arrangement of words, people have another feeling.
Song Rongxuan showed her tenacious maternal love. In the face of torture, her only hope was to protect the fetus in the womb, and the sentiment of mutual support among prisoners gave people noble human brilliance. Even if she foresaw the possibility of execution, she was calm and brave, and she didn't see the fear of death at all. The author endows such characters with a strong image of death, which represents the persistence of martyrdom and the consciousness of no regrets.
After Zhao Qingyun got out of prison, he said, "It's not that I don't talk." "The whole world has changed.
Tell me about the past. Who will listen? How many people can hear it! "Not to mention as an account of his inner beliefs, but on his deathbed, he revealed his life's actions: in the chess game, Cai Helin Tianfu did not move and looked down at the chess game on the ground in the same posture. Forty years of history is like a chess game, and the sense of labor goes deep into the soul. Democratization and peaceful reform are pinned on the working people. This is his belief, "China, who lived and died for it, is still deeply impressed. Zhao Qingyun, however, feels that the whole boundary has been winding for 40 years, like a sea of clouds on the mountain, like the north wind whistling in the northern desert, and the belief that it will not be defeated has been revealed.
Growing up in a tough environment, Zhao realized his special fate. He is more eager to get married and start a family than his peers. He realized that being a primary school teacher was not his eternal pursuit. He takes studying English hard as a stepping stone. In the competition in the shopping mall, he wants to be greedy, compete for profits and engage in intrigue. Even if "he is extremely disgusted with himself and everything in front of him" occasionally appears in his mind, it is only a momentary thought. Although he is in the dye vat of utilitarianism, his attitude towards his father is to look forward to reunion since childhood, to abide by traditional filial piety, and not to be dissatisfied with his parents' persistence in faith. His inner essence is still the traditional order of China.
Zhao Nandong was born under the care of his mother and grew up happily under the care of his brother Zhao. Because of his outstanding appearance, he won the attention and closeness of the opposite sex around him, and his life lacked a goal. He lives according to his senses, lets his body live with him, eats and dresses happily, shows his desire for whatever he wants, and is shameless and decadent.
Ye Chunmei, a seemingly walk-on figure in the text, is actually the main axis running through the whole story. She was completely innocent in the political persecution of her thoughts and beliefs, but she witnessed the sufferings of Zhao Qingyun and his wife. Although she was entrusted by Song Rongxuan's traditional responsibility, in the development of the story, the title characters were connected in series through her, and the deep meaning of the whole story deepened. She is the inspiration of Song Rongxuan, not another practitioner of ideals and speeches.
The process of finding Zhao Nandong is a kind of practice.
Zhao Nandong was born in a miserable family. As usual, he will work hard to uphold his parents' aspirations. However, the fact is absurd and seems incredible. There is an unknown but hidden moral: Zhao Nandong is called a small guava because he was born small and strong, like a wild fruit tree in Taiwan Province Province. When he grew up, he was tall and handsome, but did his tenacious vitality disappear? Is it meaningful to change intimate relationships with the opposite sex frequently? When Ye Chunmei was released from prison, he wanted to see him, but he couldn't. Seeing him, Zhao Nandong involuntarily went to the hospital to see his father's dying side, confused and empty, delirious and sweating. Ye Chunmei recognized him at a glance and took him back to a simple village-Shijie. Does it mean that he will be reborn through transformation? Especially when I was dying, I recalled Cai's words: "Mai Shuai's headquarters has been unexpectedly eliminated in various departments in Japan, and Japanese trade unions and social organizations have been severely hit." America should not be trusted, but should be placed on the working people. Molly who can't be loved is the embodiment of America. When you are bored, you can leave Zhao Guodong without any attachments. Guava is the symbol of Taiwan Province Province, and many opposite sex are countries that have had relations with Taiwan Province Province. When Zhao Nandong was in a simple country, Ye Chunmei took the place of Song Rongxuan's mother, inherited and inspired him, and made him get a new life and regain his tenacious vitality in a material society far from corrupting his mind. Originally, Zhao Nandong and his wife passed on their beliefs, and Zhao Nandong (Taiwan Province Province) also had unique subjectivity and dominance in thought. "To understand China, we must first understand the historical relationship between Taiwan Province Province and China." Zhao Qingyun is China, and Zhao Nandong is Taiwan Province Province, which is related by blood.
