Nie Gannu: The hardships of life will make people stronger and stronger.
Wei Bangliang
"I am proud of Shen, and I can see through Wu Zetian at a glance."
Shen has many shortcomings, but his "pride" is admirable. Like the legendary Shen, Nie Gannu, who is unruly by nature, has pride.
1June, 949, Nie Gannu and Lou Shiyi returned to Beijing from Hongkong to attend the first national literary congress. At the end of the meeting, they were told that the central leadership would meet them in a room of Beijing Hotel at eight o'clock the next morning.
Lou Shiyi was nervous and excited when the head of the central government wanted to meet him. He didn't sleep well all night. Early the next morning, Lou Shi got up to get ready, but Nie Gannu slept soundly all the time, so Lou Shi had to lift the quilt and wake him up. Nie Gannu opened his eyes and said to Lou Shiyi unhappily, "I'm leaving. You go. I'm going to sleep for a while." Lou Shiyi said, "We have an appointment at eight o'clock." Nie Gannu replied, "I don't care. You go first. "
Lou Shiyi had to go to see the leader alone and repeatedly explained to Nie Gannu that he would arrive soon. Head to find them, is to arrange work for them, but such as head and Lu Shiyi talk about work, Nie Gannu didn't appear. In fact, Nie Gannu didn't intend to go that day.
Later, Feng Xuefeng had an eye for pearls and transferred Nie Gannu from Hong Kong Wen Wei Po to the newly established People's Literature Publishing House as deputy editor-in-chief and director of the ancient literature editing room. Although he entered the officialdom and became a modest immortal, Nie Gannu's hard-edged personality did not show any convergence, and he remained upright and arrogant. What is commendable is that in the face of misfortune and difficulties, Nie Gannu still maintains his true colors, his personality is still so flamboyant, his temper is still so stubborn, and his pride is still so clank.
During the anti-rightist movement from 65438 to 0957, Nie Gannu was characterized as a "rightist backbone" because of his remarks. One day, People's Literature Publishing House held a meeting to criticize the "Rightists". When Nie Gannu arrived, everyone had already arrived. Nie Gannu glanced at the meeting place and saw the "Rightists" huddled together, and the former leader Feng Xuefeng sat there morosely, with an empty seat next to him. So, Nie Gannu walked over unhurriedly, pointed to the vacant place and said, "Oh, this position is mine." Sit down. Nie Gannu expression, as always, don't see a trace of depression, depression, timidity.
When Nie Gannu was labeled as a rightist, he had already entered the autumn of his life, and he had only been retired for a few years. At that time, the leaders all had a heart of respecting the old and loving the young, hoping that Nie Gannu would retire early and enjoy his old age. However, Nie Gannu made an incredible decision to go to the Great Northern Wilderness for labor reform. Others don't understand, he made the following explanation:
Life is the source of creation. As a writer, I should experience all kinds of colorful life. I have eaten "chalk rice", carried a "news bowl", carried a gun, fought a war, ran past the alarm, escaped arrest and been in prison. I have tasted poverty, unemployment, separation, migration and exile. It's a pity that I can only make a living by begging with pen and paper. Now I want to experience the life of "five grains are inseparable" and learn the skill of begging from the land. Besides, since I have become a "Rightist", I should not live in vain, but should experience a "Rightist life". ...
In this way, Nie Gannu embarked on a road full of bumps and thorns, voluntarily, with no regrets.
Labor in the Great Northern Wilderness is punitive, but since Nie Gannu has come here to temper himself and has the idea of turning over a new leaf, he will definitely devote himself to labor in order to thoroughly remould himself. However, although locked in another book to supervise the reform, Nie Gannu can put down the shelf of cadres and accept the reform, but he will never give up his dignity to flatter.
Once, Nie Gannu and other "Rightists" were having breakfast in the canteen. Although their captains don't know where they are angry, they just want to take it out on these "Rightists". He shouted at those who were standing and asked them to sit down for dinner. Everyone else sat down, and only Nie Gannu stood there motionless. The captain was so angry that he called him by his first name and ordered him to sit down, but Nie Gannu not only turned a deaf ear, but looked at the captain with his head held high and glared. When two people confronted each other, Nie Gannu approached the captain step by step. Under the glare of Nie Gannu, the captain finally lost the battle and hurriedly fled. At that moment, everyone present was in awe of Nie Gannu.
1959, Nie Gannu was arrested and imprisoned for setting fire to a kang, and was released after mediation by his wife Ying Zhou. Nie Gannu has been in poor health since he got out of prison. Once, he asked for leave to go to the city to see a doctor. When the team leader issued the certificate, he specially indicated that Nie Gannu was a "Rightist" to remind the other party. Nie Gannu was furious when he saw this proof. He tore it into pieces and threw it to the little leader, saying, "Your proof is not detailed. Why not write the sentence of that year? "
Nie Gannu wrote such a poem when he was young: "At the age of twenty, there is nothing to fear! Who does the reporter forgive? " In fact, even at the age of 60, Nie Gannu is still fearless, as the writer Wu Zuguang said: "The poet lives in Beijing, and at the age of 60, he is still a minority."
Proud and rough, making Nie Gannu miserable; He has been wronged for half his life, but people respect and admire him precisely because of his integrity and pride.
