Reading and writing are a kind of power
Not limited to expressing oneself
Nor limited to making money to support the family?

——Chopping Wood Academy
Recently, Wang Zengqi has been on the hot search.
"The educated boy Guo Maimai" read the "Collected Novels of Wang Zengqi" and found that Wang Zengqi often used brackets () in his novels to make complaints.
“(I don’t know who made the rules)”
“(He hasn’t finished eating the dry food yet?)”
“(Who knows it’s the wife? She is still an aunt)"
"Guo Maimai" said that Wang Zengqi is the inner emperor among writers, the bilibili of the book world, and "really loves to complain about a man."
After the Weibo post was posted, it immediately aroused heated discussions among many netizens:
“Why do you write and complain at the same time?”
“The fleabag in the novel world. ”
“Haha, it feels a bit funny”
…
In fact, Wang Zengqi not only loves to complain, he has many “problems”. Today we will Let’s complain about Wang Zengqi and reveal his “seven deadly sins”.
The first sin - idleness
Nowadays, many people apply for college based on the reputation of the school, whether the major is good, and whether it will be easy to find a job in the future (a rare foresight) ).
When Wang Zengqi applied to apply for Southwest Associated University, he had other considerations. What he was thinking about was that "students at the Lianda University are very casual in attending classes and taking exams, and they can just do nothing."
He went there for "idle work".
And he did. "I am an idle student and don't like going to class."
He often skips Mr. Zhu Ziqing's classes. Mr. Zhu said, "He doesn't even come to my class";
He doesn't like to study in Mr. Pi Mingju's class. So much so that I could pass the final exam by copying left and right.
What troubles him most is sports and foreign languages.
Physical education is a compulsory course at Southwest Associated University. Wang Zengqi always slept in and didn't attend physical education classes, so he lost his grades.
He doesn't like learning foreign languages. He always improvises and falls asleep during the exam.
Why does Wang Zengqi love sleeping so much?
He doesn't sleep at night, a night owl.
Almost every night, he went to the library to read, reading as he pleased, grabbing which book was which, and reading a lot of miscellaneous books.
"I read almost every night and don't go back to the dormitory to sleep until the rooster crows."
So much so that he had almost never met his classmates in the lower bunk.
If Lao Lang sees this, he wonders how to write "Brother Sleeping on My Upper Bunk". Is it still the same sentence as "Brother Sleeping on My Upper Bunk, You Are Silent".
Wang Zengqi was lucky to study in the liberal and liberal Southwest Associated University. If he studied in these universities today, he would have been kicked out long ago.
A university should not only be large in area and tuition fees, but should also be inclusive and academic.
The second crime - hasty wedding
Wang Zengqi skipped classes and skipped classes, but his talent never faded.
In 1941, his article "Revenge" was published in "Ta Kung Pao". Gradually, he became Mr. Shen Congwen's favorite student and a famous talent in the Chinese Department of Southwest Associated University.
One day, a talented man meets a beautiful woman, and Shi Songqing appears.
Shi Songqing, from a well-to-do family, is the "Lin Daiyu" of the Southwest Associated University, and her talent and appearance are extraordinary. Because he lived in Malaysia since childhood and his English is excellent, he later became a senior reporter of Xinhua News Agency's external feature team.
Shi Songqing likes to eat carrots from Kunming. When I go for a walk, I buy a handful, wash them and eat them as fruit.
She heard that carrots can be used for beauty, so she ate them and looked at Wang Zengqi. Wang Zengqi laughed and said that he really became beautiful after eating carrots.
The talented man and the beautiful woman fell in love like this. It was not until 1950 that the love came to fruition and ushered in an extremely "hasty wedding".
No sedan, no floats; no wedding dress, no flowers; no betrothal gift, no house; no relatives and friends, no banquet, just you and me.
The two of them agreed that this important festival in life mainly belongs to two people who truly love each other and do not engage in secular red tape or material extravagance.
That day, he was wearing a green military uniform and she was wearing a white shirt. They went out early and took wedding photos. We visited the Forbidden City, visited Beihai, and had two bowls of noodles to celebrate our wedding.
In the evening they went to Shen Congwen's home and told Shen Congwen and his wife: "We are getting married..."
Some people say that life has too many realities and they are too idealistic.
Life is realistic, but reality should not be the reality of accumulation of desires, but the reality of satisfying basic material needs and pursuing spiritual abundance.
The third crime - fear of hen
Perhaps it was because the wedding was held too hastily, or perhaps because Wang Zengqi was labeled as a rightist three times, but Shi Songqing never left her and supported a family. , Wang Zengqi felt quite guilty and became "afraid of his wife."
As "Guo Maimai" said earlier, Wang Zengqi loves to use brackets. In fact, there is one bracket that Wang Zengqi was forced to add by his wife.
In the novel "Chen Xiaoshou", it is written that the male gynecologist Chen Xiaoshou is very skilled and can solve the delivery problems that others cannot solve with his small hands.
After Wang Zengqi finished writing, he showed it to his wife Shi Songqing. Shi Songqing had done medical reporting. After reading the article, he said: "What you wrote is unscientific. I have never heard that it can be done by just relying on your hands without the help of instruments."
Stubborn Wang Zengqi never changed his manuscripts, but Shi Songqing If he said that, he obediently added brackets and wrote "(Of course he will also need to use drugs and equipment)".
Another time, Shi Songqing wanted to write an article about walking birds.
Wang Zengqi is familiar with this matter. When he used to walk in the park, he loved to chat with the bird walkers.
He happily told Shi Songqing a lot. When Shi Songqing saw it, Wang Zengqi was so excited that he simply asked Wang Zengqi to write an article.
When Wang Zengqi asked him to write, he said: "Hey, what kind of manuscript is this?"
Shi Songqing glared and said, "Wang Zengqi, don't be crazy. There is not even an acre of land. You don’t have a room to live in, so what are you doing?”
Wang Zengqi was scolded and left in despair. After two or three days, he handed in the manuscript.
Where is the promised Lin Daiyu?
Men should take this as a lesson and buy land and houses.
I am not afraid of my wife, but because I understand how important you are in my life, and I am willing to love you so "humblely".
The fourth sin - being too arrogant
Shi Songqing said that Wang Zengqi was crazy, not only because Wang did not write for her, but because Wang Zengqi was really crazy.
After Wang Zengqi finishes writing his work, he likes to show it to his family.
Once, after reading the article, my family pointed out that this is not good and that is not good. Wang Zengqi was a little unhappy and said:
"Ahem, cough, you have to be nicer to me. Don't keep doing this. I will be a person in the history of literature in the future."
Xiao His daughter Wang Chao immediately retorted, "Old man, are you the only one? Stop being such a slut."
The old man seemed a little angry and stumbled into his cabin.
Wang Zengqi often calls himself a famous person, not everyone.
This may seem modest.
Wang Lang also said that he initially thought it was self-effacement, but later he discovered that Wang Zengqi never called anyone else a famous person except himself.
"My father actually sets these two standards very high. He may seem humble, but he is actually very strong at heart."
Wang Zengqi looked down on Yang Shuo.
When Wang Chao was a child, he would come home from school, memorize classical Chinese, learn English, and sometimes turn on the radio.
One day, Yang Shuo’s prose with music was being played. Wang Zengqi suddenly jumped up and said, “It’s off, it’s off, prose with music is a big vulgarity!”
There is another one Back when his daughter talked about Yang Shuo and Liu Baiyu's prose, Wang Zengqi became angry and said loudly: "Chinese prose was defeated first by Yang Shuo and second by Liu Baiyu."
He didn't Articles that like to complain without reason or deliberately exaggerate are artificial and unnatural.
In 1991, Wang Zengqi returned to Gaoyou for the last time. A group of literary and artistic backbones visited him and took out a guestbook of cultural celebrities for him to sign and leave messages.
When he saw that a well-known female writer had also left a message, he blurted out: "What a bird! Does she deserve to leave a message?" Then he felt rude and stopped talking.
Literary men looked down upon each other. Wang Zengqi "looked down" on many people. Wang Meng and Lin Jinlan were both shot.
There are only a few writers he admires in modern times: Lu Xun, Shen Congwen, and Sun Li. Later, he felt that he was on par with Sun Li, so he changed his name to Fei Ming.
He looked down on others, and occasionally others looked down on him, but Wang Zengqi didn't care about this and wrote in the article:
"Gardenias are thick and big, and they are so fragrant that I can't even dust them off." If it doesn't bloom, it's because the elegant people don't take it, because they think it's not of high moral character. Gardenia said: 'Fuck you, I just want it to smell so good, so what the hell do you care about it?'"< /p>
There is a song "Wild Waves" on Douyin, which is very popular. If Wang Zengqi was still alive, he would definitely sing "Swaggering in the sea of ??people, let's get wild according to the mood, don't give in, I will love you" Come".
It is a common problem of many talented people to hold on to their talents and put their arrogance behind them. There are many such people in life. Most of them are addicted to talking and are harmless to others. What we need to do is "let him be strong and let him be strong, and the breeze will blow over the hills."
The fifth sin - extreme narcissism
In addition to self-confidence, Wang Zengqi's arrogance is also narcissistic.
In his "Autobiography", "I like me very much" appears many times.
"My second aunt has liked me since I was a child";
"My grandmother likes me very much";
"My father likes me very much";
"My stepmother likes me very much";
Mere love from relatives is not enough to satisfy his narcissistic needs.
In 1987, Wang Zengqi was invited by Nie Hualing to the United States to participate in the International Writing Project.
He wrote a letter to Shi Songqing, saying, "I don't know why, but women all like me. It's really strange."
He also specifically said, "Of course, I won't get dizzy, I will remind myself."
When Shi Songqing saw this letter, he just smiled: Is it just you, old man?
When Wang Zengqi lived in Puhuangyu, a woodcut portrait of Gorky made by Huang Yongyu hung in his home for forty years.
After moving to the Fuzhou Guild Hall, his family originally wanted to continue to hang it, but Wang Zengqi muttered, "It's time to hang mine!"
So the family hung up the photo that was published as a full page in the New York Times Magazine.
He smiled proudly.
You can feel it through the screen, full of narcissism. Mr. Wang is reserved and reserved.
It is true that Wang Zengqi is narcissistic, and it is also true that he is talented and attracts people. But the narcissism of some people in life is a bit unreasonable.
Photos after filtering and PS, sighing about who is so naturally beautiful;
A small mirror can appear anytime and anywhere to see the beauty of the world;
It’s really It is: Three feet of foundation and nine coats of makeup, thanks to my parents for giving birth to a good skin;
The sixth sin - not tutoring children
Wang Zengqi is a writer, and he is so arrogant and coaxing, There is no reason why this talent should not be passed on to children.
When his parents are martial artists, he trains his children to learn kung fu; when his parents are musicians, he trains his children to learn music; when his parents are painters, he trains his children to learn painting; but he is just not willing to teach his children to write.
Wang Lang said that the old man gave him very little guidance, and it was precisely because of it that he remembered it very clearly once or twice.
One time Wang Lang went to college. Shi Songqing asked Wang Zengqi to write essays for his son. He told his son several times, but Wang Zengqi was extremely unhappy.
Under Shi Songqing's pressure, he took out "Gu Wen Guan Zhi" and found an article "The Biography of Mr. Wu Liu" and told it to his son. However, he only talked about it for a long time and stopped teaching it.
Shi Songqing asked: "You are so good at writing, why don't you teach your children?"
"How to teach writing? I have to rely on myself, and I have no one to teach me. "
What Wang Zengqi said is also true. When he was a child, his father Wang Jusheng rarely guided him.
Wang Jusheng is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. When he was doing calligraphy and painting, Wang Zengqi was allowed to watch and receive edification. He has always cared about his children's learning, but he has never forced it, and he will not watch his children doing homework every day and make them jump all over the place.
Many parents help their children with their homework. If they stay far away, they can still communicate with their children; if they get close, they want to beat their children.
It can be said that the strategy of a big country is different from that of a small country, and their distant relations and close attacks are different.
The seventh sin - doting on children
In the entertainment industry, Deng Chao is a slave to his daughter and a maniac about doting on his children. In the writing circle, Wang Zengqi is even more unprincipled in doting on his children.
The youngest daughter Wang Chao works in the factory, working three shifts. It was very late when she got home from work.
Wang Zengqi has already laid down, but he will still get up to make supper for his daughter.
Once, when Wang Chao didn’t want to get up to eat, Wang Zengqi said, “How about I bring you something to eat on the bed?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Songqing became angry: “On the bed. Eat, what does it look like!"
Most girls have a natural tendency to take care of dolls, dress them, and comb them... Wang Zengqi's two daughters are no exception.
Shi Songqing is the queen at home, and the children never dare to have any ideas about her. Wang Zengqi is easy to talk to and naturally becomes the "care object" of the children.
"Dad, come on!"
"What are you doing?"
"Can I put a braid on your head?"
"Okay!"
Wang Zengqi agreed very readily, but after a while, his painting style suddenly changed.
The two little girls kicked Wang Zengqi on the head, one at a time and the other at one time.
Wang Zengqi was beaten as a rightist, but he did not suffer such "abuse". He grinned and screamed in pain.
The two daughters were unhappy, "Don't move!"
Not long after, the daughter's pigtail work came out, and Wang Zengqi's head was covered with red and green ribbons.
"Does it look good?"
"It's so beautiful, we girls are capable!"
Wang Zengqi has no principles in doting on children, he is like a child , "No matter how big or small", he just "maintains a little innocence" with the children and gets along with them as equals.
He felt that "children belong to themselves, and their present and future should be designed by themselves."
We have been learning from Kahlil Gibran's words, "Your children are not your children. They are children born of life's desire for itself."
We didn't do it, Wang Zengqi Did it.
Mr. Wang was labeled as a "rightist" three times back then, but he never blamed anyone; after finishing the list of "seven deadly sins" today, it was just a joke. I think Mr. Wang will forgive me.
Twenty-two years after Mr. Wang’s death, more and more people like him, either for his writing, his paintings, or his optimism.
And I like Wang Lao because he has a true nature that follows his heart and desires, just like Ji Kang and Ruan Ji in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. "Only great heroes can show their true colors, and they are true celebrities who are romantic."
He often said: If you have been dealing with me for a long time, you would rather be me.
It’s me, it’s me, different fireworks.
Throughout Mr. Wang's life, his "crimes" were all performed in his true colors, being himself, living his life intentionally and interestingly in the most comfortable manner.
What about us?
I like playing games and want to be a professional gamer, but I gave up in the end amid the opposition from my family and friends;
I like recording songs and want to be a singer. But some people think that we should be pragmatic and make money;
After nearly 30 years of single life, we hastily chose marriage at the urging of our relatives...
We just give up our interests and choose reality again and again; we give up ourselves and become like the crowd.
We are tired of being busy and repetitive; we look forward to heroes, but are afraid to face the world alone.
In fact, life is wonderful precisely because we are all different.
A life that follows one’s heart may not be so glorious, but it may not be worse than other people’s lives.
Lao Wang once painted such a picture, only drawing a cluster of peonies on the corner of the paper, and wrote a poem:
Save a corner of the world, and let it bloom side branches. I am happy and contented, and I cannot resist Akagi Kasumi.
The happiest thing in life is to stick to what you love and live your life the way you like.
