Liu Zhenyun is a famous writer who has been electrocuted frequently this year.

"I dare not forget that I am a farmer's child from there." That was the last sentence in Liu Zhenyun's short story Tapp 34 years ago. He always remembers.

Among China writers, Liu Zhenyun was the one who received the most electric shock. Not only has the work been adapted a lot, but he also played the role himself. Although there are not many shots, Liu Zhenyun's greatest achievement is to find the fun of film dialogue and meet different people, such as directors, actors, photographers and young people carrying props. ...

Liu Zhenyun said with a smile that people around him are actually philosophers, and their perspective of thinking about the world has a lot of inspiration for themselves.

Liu Zhenyun and his new book A Day in Sanqiu

Someone commented on his new work Sanqiu in one day: Liu Zhenyun is a philosopher first, which is the fundamental reason why his literature is different.

The power of listening

On one occasion, Liu Zhenyun communicated in the Dutch library. A reader stood up and said that she was laughing from beginning to end after reading I am not Pan Jinlian. There was only one place that made her cry, that is, when what the protagonist Li Xuelian said to everyone in the world was not believed, she began to say to a cow. Everyone is making fun of her, and she can only say to Niu: Do you believe that I am not a bad woman, should I sue? When telling this story, Liu Zhenyun added: There is a second cow listening to her. His name is Liu Zhenyun.

I believe this is the normal state of Liu Zhenyun, listening with the attitude and loyalty of a cow. When Li Xuelian's troubles have nowhere to tell, he is listening; When he told readers what he heard from the heart through literature, he won more listening. This is the power of literature and listening.

Liu Zhenyun has many friends and has nothing to do with his career. He became friends with the fat man who sold fruit. Fat people can ask him to help move the fruit box, and they can also ask him to go to the big tent behind the fruit stand to taste jiaozi who just came out of the pot. He became friends with the Hubei master who nailed shoes. Master used to wear gloves and spikes. After sewing the zipper, he will polish it repeatedly with soap to make the job look dignified. Decorating the house, he became friends with Lao Zhao, who sells stones. Lao Zhao only told him from the bottom of his heart, "as a stone seller, what can I do?" I only have my heart. "

This made Liu Zhenyun extremely moved. At that moment, he felt that he was the richest man in the world. Just like the new work Sanqiu in a Day, Uncle Liu told me the stories of those paintings. After Uncle Liu died, all the paintings were burned by Aunt Liu. In order to commemorate the past with my sixth uncle, "I" used my sixth uncle's painting as a mother to describe Yanjin in the painting with a story.

Deliver information to evening newspaper readers

In the past, I wrote because I felt I had something to say. Now, Liu Zhenyun has gradually discovered that what the characters in the works have to say is the most important thing. So his daily writing is actually listening, which gives him great freedom to write.

Absurdity is more real than truth.

Early novels have hinted at Liu Zhenyun's later creative purpose: to outline real life with realistic pen and ink and to pay attention to the life situation of small people. This is probably inevitable for Liu Zhenyun. For example, taking the high-speed train, he especially likes to take the second-class seat. Many people think it's too noisy. Some passengers will play with their mobile phones loudly, and children will run around, but Liu Zhenyun feels very warm, and he also likes to enjoy the aroma of instant noodles in the carriage.

But later, Liu Zhenyun's works were labeled as "realistic magic". In fact, all the characters in the works live in a real and magical world. One day in Sanqiu, Bright said to Hua Ernian, "People often cry their pillows in their dreams. Do you think this crying is true? People often laugh loudly in their dreams. Do you think this smile is true? Sometimes it's true, more real than the laughter in life. " In "Flowers in Hometown", the author borrows Guo Laosan's words and says: "The world is changing with each passing day, and the patterns of relationships are emerging one after another, but when you think about it carefully, everything is a play, and just now it is the protagonist. In a blink of an eye, it's a question of whether others will take you to play ... "Sanqiu in a Day simply lets the actors play directly. Xu Xian, White Snake and Fahai in Henan Opera are entangled in reality, and the legend of fairy flowers for two years shuttles through paintings, legends and dreams, which makes Sanqiu in a day have the meaning of "three lives and three lives". This is a rare absurd drama; However, the biggest absurdity may be the biggest truth. Sometimes absurdity is more real than truth.

Living a lifetime has become a joke.

"Speaking words" is an unattainable realm. As Liu Zhenyun said in "One sentence is worth 10,000 sentences": "A person's loneliness is not lonely. A person looking for another person, one sentence looking for another sentence, is the real loneliness. " Liu Zhenyun once took the behavior of the capital of song dynasty as an example. They met at the crossroads. "Brother, where are you going?" They all went to the capital of song dynasty. Smoking, talking, losing your temper, just go hand in hand. Walking, getting more and more familiar, I began to talk about my troubles and things that were on my mind. When we arrived in the capital of song dynasty, one went east and the other went west, and bowed and said goodbye. How many years have passed, and then think of each other. That person may be thinking, "What happened to Lao Liu?"

"One sentence is worth ten thousand sentences" is divided into two parts. The first half of "Going Out of Town" tells that the farmer Moses Wu lost his only adopted daughter on the road in order to find a wife who eloped with others, and had to go out of town in order to find an adopted daughter. The second half of Back to Yanjin tells that Niu Aiguo, the son of Qiaoling, MoMo Wu's adopted daughter, also went to Yanjin in order to find a wife who eloped with others. In "1942", Fan Wei plays the chef who is good at squid baking noodles made in Yanjin. In the movie "One sentence is worth 10,000 sentences", Fan Wei plays the cook of Lao Song or Yanjin. The story of Chen Mingliang's father and son returning to Yanjin as King is also recorded in his new book A Day in Sanqiu.

Liu Zhenyun in his youth

His hometown is his holy land of literature. Liu Zhenyun, a representative writer of neo-realism, started from Tapu and Xinbinglian in 1980s and walked all the way along his hometown. In his works, such as "Yellow Flowers in My Hometown" and "Living in My Hometown", we can see the distant hometown, while "Mobile Phone" and "My Name is Liu Yuejin" are also set in Yanjin. This background color became clearer and clearer in one day in Sanqiu. Chen Mingliang spent a lot of money to find the door plaque of jujube tree heart, which is also a kind of complex of Yanjin and a distinct homesickness complex that the writer has been unable to give up. Three thousand years ago, in Yanjin, Henan Province, there was a fairy named Hua Erniang, who had a cold ancestor. Every night, she went to people's dreams to beg jokes. She rewards people who can tell jokes with red persimmons. Joke: Boring people will drink hot soup with ErNian behind their backs. I don't know that Hua Ernian has become a mountain, and the villagers are dying. Hua Ernian didn't know that her husband was caught in the throat by a fishbone while listening to a joke and was thrown into the Yellow River and drowned. Chen Mingliang's mother, Cherry, drifted from the Yangtze River to Jiujiang after her death and suddenly returned to the Song Dynasty. The joke she found in the Song Dynasty saved her life, because Yan Ye also likes to listen to jokes-it suddenly dawned on everyone that she seemed to live in jokes all her life.

Liu Zhenyun tells the simplest life with jokes: there is nothing wrong with taking life as a joke. Between jokes and jokes, between people's jokes and finding jokes, is the art of structure. In Liu Zhenyun's works, the focus of structure is more important than the story, and how to tell the story is more important than the story itself. Sanqiu broke down the barriers of life in one day. In the play, ghosts and gods on the ground, heaven and earth, painting inside and outside, painting outside in dreams, reversed direction, rigorous structure and great tension. In addition to the plot and dialogue language, the hidden and rigorous structure of One Day in Sanqiu shows the writer's ability to lift weights easily. There is no writing style, and his writing style is a series of twists and turns.

"Twist the bar" is Liu Zhenyun's statement. He tried to correct the "distortion" from the cracks in the bones by writing. So many times, his language is intertwined, but it is simple and clear. He is who he is, without showing off his skills or exaggerating. He constructed a wonderful artistic structure with simple language, but reflected the profound truth behind the story.

Knowledge is the yardstick to test the author.

Liu Zhenyun likes reading The Analects of Confucius and studying it dozens of times. He concluded that Confucius had three characteristics: first, Confucius was a villain. "Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar?" Because Confucius and the people around him have nothing to say. Mean people are knowledgeable, and behind meanness is pity for all. Second, Confucius was a great writer and thinker. What he is talking about is not profound, but profound things in daily life. This realm is also great. Third, Confucius talked about it everywhere, and after a long time, he didn't know where to go.

Liu Zhenyun speaks and writes novels in a roundabout way. In his concise and humorous narrative, simple stories become endless and people can't stop. He attributed his unique way of thinking and language to his deep and persistent thinking, which directly influenced his grandmother. One day, Grandma Bright in Sanqiu may have entrusted the writer's thoughts, while the yellow flowers in her hometown before simply read "For Grandma".

My grandmother is only 1.55 meters tall. When she was young, she was a famous local "star". In Liu Zhenyun's eyes, Grandma's fame is equivalent to Julia Roberts's. It is not surprising that Julia became a star, because she is an actress. It is not easy for grandma to become a star. She is a long-term worker. At that time, she was cutting wheat in the field, and three miles of wheat was cut to the waist. Her "transfer fee" is very high, like Cristiano Ronaldo. Grandma said, "Why do I cut faster than others? I know this is not straight. The first time you go straight, you want to go straight for the second time, and the second time you go straight, there will be the twentieth time. I know that I have to bend over to do everything, so I' cut faster than others'. " Liu Zhenyun said that his writing learned a lot from his grandmother's philosophy.
