[Edit this paragraph] Lin Lifetime

Lin studied in Beijing since he was a child, studied in a female teacher when he grew up, and then went to Beijing World Journalism College. After graduation, I worked as a reporter, editor and librarian in Beijing World Daily. These occupations provided a wide range of opportunities, which enabled her to have a deeper understanding of the social features of old Beijing, and also provided many materials for her later novel creation. Her famous novel Old Things in the South of the City is based on this period of life. Lin returned to Taiwan with her husband on 1948 and was hired as an editor by the newly published Mandarin Daily. United Daily News was founded in 195 1, and she was appointed as the editor-in-chief of the supplement of United Daily News, with her husband as the lead writer. During this period, she paid special attention to cultivating and supporting local writers in Taiwan Province Province. For example, manuscripts at that time were often rejected, but Lin often made his manuscripts public. After his death, Lin published his first book Rain, and then his novel Lishan Farm was serialized in the supplement of United Daily News. When editing the supplement of the United Daily News, Lin published a poem called "Ship", describing a ship that drifted for a long time at sea and finally drifted to an isolated island. The treasure was slowly used up, so it was trapped in hardship. The authorities in Taiwan Province Province think that this is an allusion to the living conditions of Chiang Kai-shek after he arrived in Taiwan Province Province and arrested the author, so Lin can't supplement it. Lin's creation is rich.

1957 In the afternoon, Satellite magazine was founded, with Lin as editor-in-chief and faculty member of the World Journalism College. 1967 founded and edited the monthly magazine Pure Literature. 1972 after the publication of pure literature stopped, she independently took charge of the pure literature publishing house and published a series of pure literature.

1976165438+1On October 4th, the 9th annual meeting of China Press Association opened in furama hotel. Lin attended and spoke as a member of the Taiwan Province delegation. She later engaged in children's literature.

Lin's literary career started very early, starting from Beijing, which is closely related to her family. Lin was born in a scholarly family. Her father Lin is an excellent patriotic intellectual. Influenced by sinology in his early years, he received Japanese education in the normal department of "Mandarin School". He is proficient in Japanese and once taught at Xinpu Public School in Taiwan Province Province. Wu, a famous writer in Taiwan Province during the Japanese occupation, was his student. Later, Lin Yuan crossed the ocean to do business in Japan, where she gave birth to her eldest daughter Eiko. Later, he moved to Beijing and served as the post office director. Lin was popular and generous, which had a great influence on Lin when he was a child.

After growing up, Lin has a wide range of interests in life, regardless of sacrifice, bravely shouldering heavy burdens and helping others. These personality characteristics can be said to be inherited from his parents and developed by himself. Due to the early death of her father and the pressure of life and society, Lin's understanding of society is more mature and profound than that of her peers, which constitute the driving force and source of her novel creation. During his stay in Beijing, Lin began his literary creation. 1948 After returning to Taiwan Province Province, I wrote some essays and essays. About 195 1, Lin Cai really embarked on the road of writing. Her works are very rich, including novels, essays, essays, reviews, children's books and other genres, mainly novels.

As a writer of the older generation in Taiwan Province, Lin's contribution to Taiwan Province's literary career is embodied in three aspects: novel creation, training new people and establishing publications. As for the establishment of the publication, as we said earlier, apart from being the editor of the newly-established publication, she also personally founded the five-year monthly magazine Pure Literature, which enjoys a high reputation in the literary world for the high quality of her selected works, and recommended and published the works of many outstanding writers. Later, he founded the Pure Literature Publishing House, the purpose of which was similar to that of Pure Literature Monthly. He chooses books carefully and pays attention to quality, which is very popular with readers. It is still one of the most influential literary publishing houses in Taiwan Province Province. In terms of training new people, Lin devoted himself to training a new generation of people in Taiwan Province's literary world and made outstanding achievements. Since the 1960s, there have been many literary rookies in Taiwan Province Province, and these rookies have been supported and influenced by her. This is certainly related to her long-term engagement in newspaper editing, but more importantly, it stems from her love of literature and her enthusiasm for bringing up new people. The life of Chung Li-ho, a famous writer in Taiwan Province, can be summarized as "writing before death and becoming famous after death". He wrote in obscurity all his life, and was unknown before his death, but his fame after his death should be attributed to several close friends including Lin. Lin talked about some memories in the article After his death, his eldest son wrote to Lin, asking her to help publish his father's works. Lin took it down, and then published the work Rain with the money raised, which is only one hundred days away from the memorial day of the deceased; Another book of the deceased, Li Shan Farm, was also published in Zhou Nianji, fulfilling the deceased's last wish. Lin also helped Zhong Tiemin with his influence in the literary world, making Zhong Tiemin gradually grow into a rising star in the Taiwanese novel circle. Zhong's father and son have benefited a lot from Lin, but who are the victims of this kindness? From the 1920s to the late 40s, Lin lived mainly in Beijing for nearly 30 years. The best time of her youth was spent in Beijing. Therefore, she is familiar with Beijing and has deep feelings for Beijing. In Taiwan Province Province, she often calls Beijing her "second hometown". So the story background of her works mostly takes place in Beijing. By describing the background of these stories, the author depicts a series of genre paintings and landscape paintings of the ancient city of Beijing, revealing the author's nostalgia and memory of past life and his thoughts and feelings of loving the country and the nation. 1948 after she returned to Taiwan Province province, the social life and local customs of Taiwan Province province were injected into her life accumulation, so she wrote some people and things that happened in Taiwan Province province. In a word, Lin's life accumulation has two sources: one is from old Beijing and the other is from Taiwan Province.

Old Shadows in the South of the City (2000) and Lin's Works (2000)

[Edit this paragraph] Masterpiece: Old things in the south of the city

Lin (19 18-200 1) is famous for the novel Old Things in the South of the City, which describes the social features of old Beijing. It was once put on the movie screen and loved by the audience, describing the life of an ordinary person in a quadrangle in Beijing in the late 1920s. Old stories in the south of the city include five short stories, namely Hui An Ting, Watching the Sea, Aunt Lan, Rolling on a Donkey, and Dad's Flowers Bloom. The film describes all kinds of people and things in Beijing at that time through the eyes of the little girl Eiko. Through the seemingly narrow description, it reflects the whole historical face of Beijing at that time and has strong social significance. Lin said in the "Postscript" of Old Events in the South of the City: "Over the past few years, I have successively completed these chapters of this book. Their story may not be true, but when I wrote it, people kept popping up in front of my eyes, such as Aunt Lan, who grinned, Uncle Dexian, who rode back to his hometown and ignored our children, crazy woman in Chunshu Hutong, friends by the well, thieves hiding in the haystack. " From this simple list of characters, we can easily see that although the author is an intellectual of scholarly family, the characters in her novels are not limited to this narrow scope. She cares about the vast society and is good at describing all kinds of social people. Most of the characters in her novels are citizens, while the central characters are all kinds of women. She devotes herself to depicting the virtues of China women's diligence, wisdom, gentleness and kindness, and is better at expressing the shackles of their hearts and the tragedy of their fate. To exaggerate, every novel of hers is inseparable from the tragedy of women. Someone commented: "Most of her writing is aimed at women's issues. However, she can often think about the special experience of women in Taiwan Province Province from the crux of women's problems in the world, and the depth has reached beyond the boundaries of women. If Lin is regarded as the soul of the older generation of female writers, it can be said that due to the limitation of the trend of the times, their rebellion is less, and their complaints and protests are also mild and powerless. " The content of Lin's novels is probably "the past south of the city" in childhood memory, and the novels contain traces of autobiography. However, its situation is not narrow. Like all successful writers, her novels are small and big, and we can get a glimpse of the times from the old events in the south of the city. Therefore, her works have certain cognitive value and social significance, and also have certain influence on the literary world in Taiwan Province Province. This book is full of deep poetry in light sadness.

Her "Reading Secretly" was published in Lesson 27 of Chinese Textbook 1 1 of Shanghai Edition and Lesson 1 of Chinese Experiment of People's Education Edition.

Original text:

Turning the corner, I saw the soaring signboard of Sanyangchun, smelled the smell of cooking, and heard the knocking of the pot spoon. I breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down. I rushed here from school after class, sweating like a pig, and finally arrived at my destination-the destination was not Sanyangchun, but a bookstore next to it.

I used the opportunity of walking to give my brain a chance to think: "Where did you read yesterday?" Who will that girl marry in the future Where is that book? The third row in the left corner is good ... "When I walked to the entrance of Sanyangchun, I was relieved to see that the bookstore was still crowded with customers as before. But I'm worried about whether that book will be sold out, because I've been reading it for several days and it seems that there are only one or two books left yesterday.

I stepped into the bookstore door, feeling glad that no one noticed. I stood on tiptoe and let my little body rub against the gap between other customers and bookcases and get under the armpits of adults. Yo, I messed up my short hair. It doesn't matter. I squeezed in. In the queue of colorful covers, my eyes are too eager to find, but I can't see where the book is. Count it again from the beginning, ah! It is here, not where it was yesterday.

I'm glad it hasn't been sold, but it's still lying on the shelf, waiting for my arrival. How happy I am, how eager I am to reach for it, but at the same time as I reach out, there are a pair of huge palms, 10 fingers are greatly separated, holding down the whole book: "Do you want to buy it or not?"

The noise was loud and alarmed other customers. They all turned around and faced me. I'm like a caught thief, ashamed and embarrassed, and my face is red. I looked up at him shyly, the owner of the bookstore, and he looked down at me majestically. The shop is his, and he has every reason to treat me like this. I protested in a voice that was almost crying: "Can't you even watch?" In fact, how weak my voice is!

Under the eyes of the public, I almost walked out of the store in confusion, followed by the boss's sneer: "Not once!" " "Not once? That tone is very tolerant to me, as if I were an unforgivable old thief. But did I steal something? I'm just a poor student who can't afford and is eager to read that book!

After this humiliation, my heart was really traumatized. The inferiority complex caused by poverty broke out again and I hated adults.

I don't go to the bookstore anymore. Many times I gritted my teeth and walked through Wenhua Street. But once or twice, I subconsciously walked to the familiar street. Finally one day, my thirst for knowledge forced me to stop again. I still want to try, because I have known the advertisement for the publication of a new book from the newspaper for many days.

I tried the old trick again and hid in a corner of the bookstore. When I opened the first page, I couldn't help shouting softly in my heart: "Ah! Finally meet you! " This is a best seller. It is such a thick roll. If you hold it in your hand, it's enough weight! With the previous lesson, I am more cautious and dare not be greedy. It is more appropriate to go to several bookstores to avoid the previous embarrassment again.

Every time I come out of the bookstore, I feel drunk, my mind is disturbed by the characters in the book, I stumble and walk out of control. "Come early tomorrow, and you can finish reading it all." I told myself. The thought that I might occupy a corner of the bookstore tomorrow, I was carried away by happiness and excitement and almost hit the trunk.

But the next day, I visited several bookstores and didn't see this book. Just like holding a book that is being eagerly read, I am secretly anxious and cursing: because I have no money, I can't enjoy all the happiness of reading. There are so many rich people in the world who buy all the books.

I walked into the last bookstore in despair with my schoolbag in my hand. When I was reading here yesterday, there was still the last volume left. Yes, my heart sank when I saw another book on the shelf.

Just then, a shop assistant with a pencil in his ear came over. Seeing that he was coming to greet me (how afraid I was of being served), I quickly put my eyes on the bookshelf and pretended not to see it. But a book touched my arm and gently sent it to me: "Look, I stayed an extra day and didn't sell it."

Ah, I was ashamed to accept this book and didn't know how to express my gratitude to him, but he walked away casually. Impulsive emotions make my eyes unable to concentrate on books for a long time.

When the fluorescent lamp in the bookstore suddenly turned on, I felt that I had been here for two hours. I closed the last page and swallowed, as if I had swallowed all my wisdom. Then I looked up at the man with a pencil in his ear and returned the book to him. At the counter in the distance, he nodded to me gently, indicating that he knew I had finished reading it. I silently put the book back on the shelf.

I walked out with my head down, and my wrinkled black cloth skirt was blown away by the wind, like a broken umbrella that could not be opened, but my whole body was loose. It suddenly occurred to me that once Mr. Guo Wen encouraged us to study hard:

"Remember, you learn to grow up by eating!"

But today I found that this sentence is not enough. It should say:

"Remember, you grew up eating, reading and loving!"

Her "Daddy's Flowers Fall" was published in the second lesson of Grade 7 of China People's Education Press.
