After reading This Life recently, Hu Lancheng's writing style is amazing. No matter his life record or his romantic story, especially the first chapter, Victory of Youth, it is not as greasy as his love life.
For the description of hometown and the review of years, although the text has been revised, it is still a bit quaint. Although it is poetic, it is also mixed with some fireworks, like the spring breeze in March, which is very fresh.
Sometimes, you will feel that he seems to open the truth of the world to you, but it seems to be wearing a gorgeous coat. If you are not careful, you will forget his experience and immerse yourself in his words, and you will feel that "compared with his talent, his fragrance will be eclipsed."
Even his words have such magic, which explains why so many people once fell in love with Hu Lancheng.
However, a person's words will eventually be read in the long river of his life, and how he explains it himself cannot be counted.
Hu Lancheng wrote in his life: "I am a slut not only for my hometown, but also for the years."
Of course, not only for his hometown and years, but also for his feelings, he is also a prodigal son.
At the time of writing this life, Hu Lancheng had moved to Japan, which was the year of know life. He knew that he could not go back to his hometown, and his hometown became one of his poems.
Hu Lancheng is good at remembering fragments of his hometown and decorating them into beautiful shapes. When he was a child,
The first chapter, Shao, wrote about his mother's simplicity, the prosperity of the world when he was young, Tomb-Sweeping Day, the pulling of calamus on the Dragon Boat Festival, fireflies on summer nights, the vegetation in Hu Village, the mighty marriage and the ups and downs of life. ...
In the description of hometown, the spirit of peace flows between the lines, which makes people feel clear and poetic. But many times, people feel that they are covered with a layer of gauze. Although the picture is beautiful to read, it is not sentimental.
His writing is modest and elegant, very gentle. However, this tenderness is skillful, such as water flowing through, soft and boneless.
And there are also some seemingly gentle words that are actually alienated.
About his father, he wrote,
This paragraph of description, quietly, seems to be a bystander and an outsider.
His parents' landscape, vegetation and world are clear and distinct in his works, but they are just a look back.
His hometown has become a fragment of his life, a distant place, leaving only a shadow in the end.
He has been a wanderer for many years.
In the preface to This Life, Hu Lancheng wrote:
Such a sentence will make people feel that he is a person who can easily reconcile with the world and himself. Everything is fine, let nature take its course.
In this life, Hu Lancheng also said that he was a humble person. But in fact, as he himself said,
"I'm a layman. I love the wealth and splendor in the world, but I don't believe in power. "
Hu Lancheng's hometown is Sheng County, Zhejiang Province. He was born in an ordinary family in Hu village. Life is hard without a prominent family background.
In the first chapter of Shang Mo Sang, he wrote:
At the age of twelve, he was adopted by a family with no son's surname Yu. Later, I had the opportunity to study in Hangzhou.
Perhaps it is such hardship and dependence that he always gives way to his little love and hate in secular life.
At first, he taught in a school. Later, he went to Hong Kong as the editor-in-chief of South China Daily.
After the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, Wang Jingwei searched for talents everywhere in order to organize a puppet government. Hu Lancheng is famous for writing some articles and is appreciated by Wang Jingwei. Later, he became the second minister of the propaganda department of Wang puppet government.
It can be seen that he is not content with the status quo, but a person who is ready to play tricks in troubled times.
Later, when it comes to feelings, so does he. For his own secular stability, others can choose.
When it comes to Hu Lancheng's feelings, people will first think of Zhang Ailing, who always appears as Zhang Ailing's ex-husband.
But among the women he has experienced, besides Zhang Ailing, there are eight wives including Tang Yufeng, Quan Huiwen, Zhou Xiao and She Aizhen, and of course there are other unknown affairs.
His deep affection makes his feelings have no deep affection and full affection. When feelings are discounted, amorous feelings become fickle and even heartless.
Yufeng was dying at that time, and Hu Lancheng lent her money to treat her. Later, when she couldn't borrow it, she simply stayed out of it and dumped her hand.
"I give myself back to heaven and earth, just like a correct and obedient child, obeying orders."
"Life and death", but he easily won it with a wonderful pen.
Another woman, Quan Huiwen. Hu Lancheng married her when she was teaching in Guangxi.
For this relationship, he wrote:
"I was 28 years old, I didn't fall in love, I didn't want to be a hero or a beauty, but my wife had to have one anyway, so I married Quan Huiwen introduced by my colleague. As soon as we met, it was the same day as the world. In addition to teaching, I only study hard at home, and sometimes I go to the market with Huiwen to buy longan and yellow skin. "
Such a woman, Hu Lancheng is completely for the needs of life, warm the quilt. He is an old-school conservative. Because he will sacrifice "little love and little hate" all his life, it is not difficult to imagine why he failed Zhang Ailing, including a bunch of other women.
Therefore, when the emaciated but affectionate Zhang Ailing meets the fickle and affectionate Hu Lancheng, the so-called quiet year means talking and listening. The secular stability that Zhang Ailing expected turned into turmoil waiting for her.
In those turbulent years, Hu Lancheng never forgot to look for flowers all the way. There is more than one flower, and Zhang Ailing is a special one.
"I don't even think she is beautiful, but I don't like her. I'm afraid of hurting her."
After several marriages, Hu Lancheng had already understood the feelings and felt that they were out of place, but they came together because of her special nature.
"... Zhang Ailing knocked over all my things. I often think that I know exactly what magic is. When it comes to the real thing, gorgeous is not the glamorous method, and stunning is not the shocking method. "
Although Zhang Ailing has fallen into the dust, Hu Lancheng is just enjoying flowers by the roadside and has never thought about living with him in reality.
"Aileen and I just love each other. It's better to love someone than to be called' Huan' in" Midnight Song "." Hu Lancheng wrote it all his life.
Zhang Ailing's deep affection is just a kind of "joy" for him. Here, she is no different from other women.
Whether a woman lasts long depends on how much she benefits his life.
After all, they are just tickets for him to board the next ship or just post stations to help him through the turbulent years. I turned it over one after another, station after station, just adding a paragraph of his words.
