Everything in the world has temperament.

At the age of seventy-three, Wang Zengqi said in his article: "I have been in this world for seventy-three years. How far can I go? " Four years later, Wang Zengqi died. But he left us a variety of works, such as "Plants on Earth" and "Notes on Big Trouble", which was enough for us to stop at this mountain. Taking Wang Zengqi's prose as an example, he is good at aestheticizing his daily life, being plain and simple, and telling his story at home with trivial personal themes. For example, he said in "Human Plants": "Lycium barbarum is everywhere. Gouqitou is a wild vegetable in spring. Picking tender head of Lycium barbarum, blanching, chopping, mixing with diced fragrant dried fruit, and pouring soy sauce, vinegar and sesame oil; Or stir-fry in an oil pan, which is very fragrant. "

Wang Zengqi's works are classified as "diluted" by some literary critics because they have no grand narrative, never show complex heroes and no dramatic conflicts. However, Wang Zengqi does not agree with this. He said, "I can only write about ordinary people and things I am familiar with, or, as Jiang Baishi said, children in the world." The essence of reading Wang Zengqi's words is those brief feelings, such as writing about the purpose of studying for students in The National SouthWest Associated University, and confessing that he came to The National SouthWest Associated University to "find chic" because he likes the free reading style of "fooling around".

Wang Zengqi emphasizes truth in his writing, and most of them have experienced it personally. He can't write by materials. In the collection of essays "We Are All Children in the World", we can really feel this. Perhaps it is because of Wang Zengqi's persistence that his unique writing style has been formed, and he has even been praised by some people as "the first to open the atmosphere". However, Wang Zengqi does not want young writers to imitate his writing deliberately. Just like practicing calligraphy, you can certainly stick to it, but only by forming your own style of writing can you become famous and get married. This book is divided into three series: Let Nature Take its Course, Plants on Earth and Clouds in Seven Years, and contains classic prose works such as Seventy Words and Mr. Lao She.

From narrative lyricism to life sentiment, Wang Zengqi's indifferent attitude towards life is naturally revealed in simple words. For example, Wang Zengqi talked about Ding Ling's feelings about her decentralization of rural labor force in "Let it be". He felt that he should be happy about it, not resigned. Wang Zengqi said at the end of the article: "The human heart is fragile. There is nothing we can do about it. Can you be sloppy as a political citizen? " This should be regarded as a kind of euphemistic criticism, which is extremely rare in his article.

Confucius said to "know more about the names of birds, animals and plants", and Wang Zengqi's plants can be described as a few treasures. For example, he wrote that Okra "has large petals, pale yellow flowers, almost colorless petals with veinlets, and purple spots on the inside of the petals near the center of the flowers." Okra is fragrant and lonely. I don't know why, okra reminds me of a female Taoist. "

For the first time, this book exposes Wang Zengqi's old private photos and many exquisite calligraphy and paintings, including photos of Wang Zengqi with Shen Congwen, Gao Hongbo, Tie Ning and others, as well as precious photos of his early acquaintance with his family, relatives and friends and the National The National SouthWest Associated University. These words precipitated by Wang Zengqi in his ordinary life convey full love and warmth. This selected collection of essays not only narrates Wang Lao's personal memories, but also has an incomparable "fireworks smell"-the family is sitting around and the lights are amiable.
