Is that enough?
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is known as the "roof of the world", with an average elevation of more than 4,000 meters. The majestic Kunlun Mountain, Tanggula Mountain, Himalayan Mountain and Congo Mountain form the internal framework of the plateau. This is the main distribution area of Tibetans in China, which is quite desolate and mysterious, and is called the "life forbidden zone". But there was a man who joined the army in Tibet, 1958- 1964, where he worked as an automobile soldier for seven years and was transferred to the General Logistics Department as a news officer, and gradually grew into a famous writer. Although others left here, their hearts never left until they retired gloriously. They insist on going to Tibet at their own expense every year for hundreds of times, constantly eulogizing the great changes and typical people and events in the reform and opening up of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Many readers have felt the magical beauty, natural beauty and tragic beauty of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau from his beautiful articles ... He used to be the director of the creative office of the General Logistics Department, and now he is in China.
How to evaluate his actions and works? In order to be more accurate and true, let's introduce the editors of * * * Literature and Art Publishing House to the readers first-
No one dares to predict what kind of noise China literature will make in the 2nd/Kloc-0th century. However, the writer Wang Zongren, known as the "son of Kunlun", was washed white by the cruel monsoon in the snowy plateau. In the past 40 years, how many writers in China have entrusted their 40-year brushwork, emotion and even their lives to the towering snow-capped mountains and groups of plateau officers and men who fought tenaciously, struggled and even died silently in the forbidden area of life? Those who care about life and beauty, please read these two volumes carefully (Sunrise Kunlun and Seasonal Rivers Without Names)! At the same time, Rainbow Zongren, a writer who loves life and is persistent and enterprising, is called upon to write plateau with his soul and blood. ...
Up to now, Wang Zongren has published more than 4 million words of works, published more than 30 collections of works, won more than 20 literary awards, and won the Military Literature Award of the General Logistics Department for five consecutive years. In particular, he devoted all his efforts to writing a collection of excellent essays, No Man's Land, which was first published in 2000. Because of readers' love and wide spread, it was printed three times in three consecutive years and became a beautiful landscape in the literary world.
B I first heard and saw Wang Zongren's name from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s. The composition "Night Star" compiled by the Ministry of Education in the third volume of junior middle school Chinese is his masterpiece, which makes the author's name enter thousands of households. Especially in Fufeng County, the author's native hometown, it is wave after wave. When teaching this text, Mr. China is always very proud and kind. When my classmates and I recited this article repeatedly, we regarded Wang Zongren as our idol. Every year when Fufeng County holds a literary creation conference, many writers and amateur authors can't help talking about Wang Zongren's works. ...
Just when I started dreaming about literature, Wang Zongren was my role model. With years of correspondence and telephone contact, I rushed from the ancient city of Xi to the capital Beijing to meet and interview him specially.
We are a hard time emerging, and we are very close when we meet. Everything is so natural and harmonious that there are not many pleasantries in contact with him. He can't be ordinary any more. He wears casual clothes, but he has a burly figure of a soldier, rough skin, a natural smile on his square face and a pair of gentle eyes, which show sincerity and trust in people from time to time. As a reporter, I left my job without a few words and started my interview directly.
The first step in life, who can forget their hometown.
The outstanding achievements of most writers are inseparable from the profound cultural accumulation in their hometown, and Wang Zongren is no exception.
His hometown is Touming Temple Village, Taibai Township, Fufeng County, located 800 miles west of Qinchuan. Standing on the wheel in front of your house, you can stand on tiptoe and see the pagoda of Famen Temple, a famous historical temple ten miles away. This pagoda is a symbol of the wind. Wang Zongren, who loved literature since childhood, stood out in this land of outstanding people.
1953, he just turned 14 years old, in the sixth grade of primary school, and became a very powerful labor force in his family. When chatting with the villagers, he walked into a strange and magical life field and sprouted the idea of writing something. He wrote a true story in life, which became an essay "Chen Going Home". He took the liberty to post it in Shaanxi Literature and Art magazine at that time, but it was published in the eighth issue of 1955. Wang Zongren called this article the first work of "hoeing the ground". Since then, he has successively published some news articles in county newspapers and provincial newspapers, all of which were "planed" with hoes while working in the fields, and were interviews in modern fashionable languages. While studying in Fufeng County Middle School, he published Two Sacks of Corn on the cob and Who Raised Mule Foal from His Mother in the supplements of Shaanxi Daily and Qinling Mountain? ","Uncle Zhao "and other essays have become quite famous small writers in the county. 1957 graduated from junior high school. Because he loves reading and can write manuscripts, Murakami asked him to be a private school teacher at Changmingsi Primary School. At the end of the same year, he enlisted in the army and went to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Everyone who walks into the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau knows that this is a world of ice and snow, without green and flowers, and it is a forbidden area of life. But for Wang Zongren, the extremely bad living environment endowed him with the will of life and the depth and intensity of life. "Into the * * *, maybe you will find the ideal; Walking into * * *, maybe you can see heaven. Walking into the snow-capped mountains, the plateau and the sun "(lyrics of" Walking into * * * "), he really feels that this is the cradle of his life, creation and life. He once said, "I came to Kunlun Mountain to go to sea." After joining the army, I worked as a driver in the automobile regiment, driving a big car with a load of 6.5 tons imported from Germany, and climbed Tanggula Mountain at an altitude of 5300 meters at least 6-7 times a year. Day after day, year after year to and from Gansu-Qinghai-* * *; Qilian Mountain-Kunlun Mountain-Tanggula. From 1958 to 1964, he traveled there for seven spring and autumn periods, suffered a lot and tasted a lot of sweetness, especially his enthusiasm for literary creation was sublimated to a very high level.
After driving all day, I looked like a broken skeleton. After maintaining the vehicle, it is evening, which is the prime time for the soldiers to rest. But Wang Zongren has formed the habit that he should write down what he saw and heard during the day, otherwise he will not eat well and sleep well. In order not to affect the rest of his comrades, the cab became his writing room. Turn on the work light and write at 12 or 1 at night. At this time, everything in the snowy plateau was quiet, as if he was the only one, and only the imaginary goddess of literature and art accompanied him. Sometimes it's already dusk after I finish writing, so I just lie on the steering wheel and get confused for a while, then wake up and start again. I am tired and sleepy every day, but I have never had an accident driving in the car. During this period, a series of essays and poems he created have been published in People's Army Daily, Plateau Warrior Daily, Qinghai Lake, People's Literature and other newspapers. Among them, the representative work "Examination" was published in1February 8, 964, and won the first outstanding essay award of the General Political Department. At that time, he was only 25 years old and was an officer in the regiment. Pingyi Wang, political commissar of the Communist Youth League, proudly said: "It is the first time in the history of our league that the General Political Department has awarded a certificate to an ordinary cadre." Because of his outstanding achievements in literary creation, he was accepted as a member of Qinghai Writers Association.
Life is the only source of creation! Footprints are the cornerstone of the road. Looking at Wang Zongren's initial literary road, his pace is so solid. He not only wrote a unique essay on the snowy plateau, but also walked out of his own life path-from driver to team culture teacher, brigade secretary, league branch secretary and press officer of Qinghai-Tibet office. His work is constantly changing. It's a paradise on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and you get it for nothing. ...
C Wang Zongren once said: "A writer's literary corridor should be rich and colorful."
1965, * * * newspaper will hold the ninth training course for news cadres of the whole army, and Wang Zongren will be invited by the superiors. After studying for half a year, I was transferred to the Propaganda Department of the Political Department of the General Logistics Department as a press officer. At that time, Wang Zongren reluctantly left the Qinghai-Tibet line. He sighed: although I am far away from here, my heart is closer, because I am a grass on Kunlun Mountain!
Wang Zongren loves literature and news. When he started writing, literature and news followed him like a pair of "twin brothers". He once vividly said to his colleagues: "I have two sets of carriages on my shoulders. Write the news in eight hours and finish it in eight hours. " Because of this, he has been engaged in journalism for eight years and has done his duty, adding many news highlights to the General Logistics Department. For example, he has successively written and reported advanced typical figures such as "Chairman Mao's good soldier is in the prime of life", "Top Ten Heroes of Sichuan-Tibet Line", "Zhang Hua, a model of outstanding contemporary college students", "Huang Cuifen, an outstanding scientist", "Model of middle-aged intellectuals" and "Model cadre of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau". It is worth mentioning that the typical report about Zhang Hua is still fresh in the memory of many journalists and people. In the early 1980s, Zhang Hua, a student of the Fourth Military Medical University, gave his precious life to save the old farmer from jumping into the cesspit. After the news spread, many people argued that it was not worthwhile for college students to save the old peasants ... so they did not attract the attention of the news media for the time being. After learning about this, Wang Zongren rushed to Heilongjiang, the hometown of Xi and Zhang Hua, went deep into the masses, interviewed carefully and analyzed calmly. He believes that Zhang Hua's behavior shines with the light of the times: the value of life lies not in taking, but in giving ... Zhang Hua's story report was "an instant hit" and played a good role in guiding public opinion. Since then, a series of reports have been called "Zhang Hua phenomenon" by the China press. The author has participated in many seminars on news works, and people should take this report as a summary of experience and preach it to young journalists, hoping that they will pay attention to using it and drawing lessons from it in news gathering and writing.
1982, after more than 30 years of pursuit and climbing, Wang Zongren was finally accepted as a member of the Chinese Writers Association. He began to focus on reportage, prose and poetry creation, but he still didn't give up news writing. He can't forget his respected literary predecessors. Writer Yan Wenjing once told him this sentence to his face: "News and literature are in-laws, and cannot be separated! You can always go on in journalism, get in touch with the masses and get familiar with life. It is no good doing creative work for a long time. " He firmly believes this sentence. Over the years, he has written more than 30 reportages. The former vice chairman of the Chinese Writers Association praised the poetic beauty of her masterpiece "On the Journey" (written with Ma). This work won the "First Excellent Reporting Literature Award" issued by the Chinese Writers Association. In this regard, Wang Zongren said with deep understanding: I appeared in front of the interviewee as a correspondent and reporter (special correspondent of three newspapers), but when collecting materials, I used the materials needed to create reportage to demand myself, dig my own life and demand myself. From this, I not only successfully wrote newsletters and news, but also laid a good foundation for my reportage creation. Only in this way can there be a long reportage "History Turning in Beiping" which won the National "Five Ones" Project Award, the China Book Award and the First Military Literature Award of the General Logistics Department. This book is 290,000 words long, published by * * * Publishing House 1989, and also included in the national "Seventh Five-Year Plan" key bibliography. Two editions of 10 have been printed, reaching150,000 copies. Many newspapers, such as China Yearbook for the Elderly, Dalian Times and Shenzhen Special Zone Daily, have been serialized to meet the needs of readers. Won the China Book Award and the * * * Book Award, the 270,000-word "Sleeping Lion Awakens with Anger" was published simultaneously by * * * Literature and Art Publishing House, Unity Publishing House and Taiwan Province Rizhen Publishing House in 1995, which shows how wide the readers of this book are. The book Zhou Guanwu and Shougang, which won the "505" China Reportage Literature Award, was published by Tianjin Baihua Literature and Art Publishing House as 1993. After that, the agency and the Ministry of Culture of the Political Department of the General Logistics Department jointly held a seminar on works in Beijing. More than 40 people from literary and art circles and economic circles attended the seminar and enthusiastically praised the book as a masterpiece describing reform and reform leaders. Chen Huangmei, a literary predecessor and a famous critic as a judge, praised: "This is a real book about industrial reform."
After 1996, Wang Zongren suddenly had a feeling that he would do a great thing in the second half of his life, writing about the barracks life and magnificent scenery on the Qinghai-Tibet line, showing an immortal height-the spirit of hard struggle, self-improvement and bravery of China soldiers, and pursuing new styles of literary creation-"big close-up" and "big prose", and using prose.
For Wang Zongren, a military writer, he has come from the snowy area of Kunlun and will return to Kunlun Mountain, because there are more than 700 soldiers' bones buried there, including his comrades who live together day and night, which will always be the most magnificent scenery in his eyes. He went here as if his daughter were going back to her mother's house. He went into battle lightly, took a bus to Tibet, and embarked on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway again, gaining new discoveries and new insights. ...
