Brief introduction and portfolio of Shi Tiesheng

Shi Tiesheng (1951-), a Beijinger, is a famous contemporary writer and thinker in China. In 1958, he entered Wang Daren Primary School in Dongcheng District, Beijing, and graduated from the middle school attached to Tsinghua University in 1967. Then, in 1969, he went to Yan 'an area in northern Shaanxi to "cut in line". In 1972, he returned to Beijing due to paralysis of his legs. From 1974 to 1981 [2], he worked in Beixinqiao Street Factory, and then went home to recuperate because of his illness. Started publishing works in 1979. Shi Tiesheng is one of the most admirable writers in contemporary China. He loves his mother who died of cancer. His writing is completely isomorphic with his life. In his own "writing night", Shi Tiesheng used his mutilated body to express the most sound and full thoughts. He experienced the suffering of life, but expressed the clarity and joy of existence. His wise words lit up our increasingly dark hearts. As the most important achievement of China literature in 22, his Broken Pen from a Sick Gap, as always, pondered over such major issues as life and death, disability and love, suffering and faith, writing and art, and solved such universal spiritual problems as how I was present and how I lived out my meaning. When most writers gave up facing the basic situation of human beings in the era of consumerism, Shi Tiesheng lived in his own heart, still struggling to pursue the value and glory of human beings, still firmly marching toward the desolate areas of existence and resolutely fighting against the unknown. This courage and persistence deeply aroused our vigilance and concern for our own situation.

Some of Shi Tiesheng's early novels, such as Lunch for Half an Hour, have the characteristics of exposing "dark side" literature. My Distant Qingpingwan, published in 1983, is not only Shi Tiesheng, but also an important novel creation at that time. It is explained on many levels: or it expands the vision of "educated youth literature", or its significance in literature "seeking roots". On the issue of "seeking the root", the author expressed the opinion that "the root" and "seeking the root" are two completely different things. One is just where we came from and why we came. The other is also for: where are we going and how to get there? " Regarding the latter, he thinks that "this is to see the absurdity of life and find a reliable basis for the spirit" (Postscript of Sunday Generation, Huaxia Publishing House, 1983). Shi Tiesheng's personal experience of physical disability made some of his novels write about the life dilemma and spiritual dilemma of the disabled. However, he transcended the pity and self-pity of the disabled for their fate, and thus rose to concern for universal existence, especially the phenomenon of mental "disability". Different from other novelists, he did not cling to the perceptual life characteristics of the nation and region. He regarded writing as a narrative and exploration of his personal spiritual journey. "The universe with its endless desire will be a song and dance for eternity. What kind of personal name this desire has can be ignored "(Shi Tiesheng's" I and Ditan "). This persistent concern for the existence of "disabled people" (in Shi Tiesheng's view, all people are disabled and defective) makes his prose have a strong philosophical meaning.

Because of his personal experience, his narrative is permeated with a kind of warmth but fatalism. But there is also a struggle against absurdity and fate. Life is like a string, which is an allegorical story of fighting absurdity to gain the meaning of existence. He is the author of the novel "Notes on Retreat", the short story "Life is like a String" and the essay "I and Ditan". My Distant Qingpingwan and Grandma's Star won the National Excellent Short Story Award in 1983 and 1984 respectively, and The Story of My Old House won the first Lu Xun Literature Award.
