The man who slept in the morgue retrieved the soul of the countrymen

The 2022 Nobel Prize will be promulgated from October 3 to 10, of which the Nobel Prize in Literature will be announced
on October 6.
Bookmakers' Nobel Prize in Literature odds list shows that Chinese writers Zanxue, Yan Lianke and Yu Hua are as popular
as last year.

To say that the most popular writer on the domestic network recently must be Yu Hua, but Yu Hua's popularity is not because of his works, but because of his talent
for being delayed by writing.

Once, Yu Hua was interviewed
by a French journalist.

A French journalist asked him: "What is the biggest difference between French writers and Chinese writers?" ”

Yu Hua gave his answer with a serious face and seriousness -

For the masterpiece "Alive", Yu Hua did not forget to ridicule himself
.

Someone asked him: How much did "Alive" earn?

Yu Hua replied: I live by "Alive
".

"Then we assume that a score of 10 is a perfect score and you will score a few points for the book 'Alive'"

- "9.
4 points"

"So where did the remaining 0.
6 go?"

- "The remaining 0.
6 to ask that Douban?" , they gave me a score.
"

As for why did you go to literature? Yu Hua took out the talent of speaking stand-up comedy
.

Yu Hua, Mo Yan, Su Tong and Wang Shuo went to Italy to participate in the Far East Literature Forum to give speeches, and the organizers gave the four people a temporary speech topic: "Why I Write"
.

As soon as Yu Hua went up, he said that he just didn't want to go to work and sleep, so he went to write a
novel.

Mo Yan said that he wanted to buy a pair of leather shoes, Wang Shuo said that he was similar, only Su Tong simply said that he embarked on this road because he loved literature
.

When Su Tong came down, he was mad, saying that he was too naïve and the reasons he gave were too shameful
.

Yu Hua was on the sidelines, laughing
.

As Yu Hua said, when he writes novels, he just doesn't want to go to work to extract his teeth, he just wants to lie flat and touch the fish
.

"Abandoning medicine and following the text"

Yu Hua's father was a surgeon, and he grew up almost in the hospital during
his childhood.

Yu Hua did not love to go to school when he was a child, and once he did not want to go to school, lying to his parents that his stomach hurt
.

It just so happened that his father was a doctor, so he asked Yu Hua if his chest hurt, Yu Hua said that it also hurt, and Yu Hua did not know that appendicitis began to hurt from the
chest.

Yu Hua's father concluded that this was appendicitis, and directly pushed his son onto the operating table and cut the appendix
.
Yu Hua's mother only said lightly afterwards that this child would not be able to become a pilot in the
future.

Yu Hua didn't love going to school when he was a child, just like
he didn't love to work when he grew up.

In 1977, Yu Hua took the first college entrance examination after the Cultural Revolution, but he failed the list and was directly assigned to the health center as a dentist
.

Fu Fu, a teacher in his 70s, demonstrated it to Yu Hua and let Yu Hua directly start to extract people's
teeth.

What a dare to teach, a dare to learn
.

For the next five years, while the teacher Fu read the newspaper and prescribed drugs, Yu Hua, who had never learned to extract teeth, picked up pliers to extract more than 10,000 teeth
.

Until one day, he saw the people of the cultural center wandering around the street, and he was envious—"Why do I have to pull my teeth here for 8 hours a day, and they are wandering around the street
.
" ”

Yu Hua went up and asked, why don't you go to work in the street? People say directly, this is at work
.

Yu Hua, who was unbalanced in his heart, had the idea of going to work at the cultural center, and if he wanted to go to the cultural center to work, there would be a novel published, so he decided to write a novel
.

When Yu Hua first wrote a novel, he didn't know how to write it, and he couldn't even use branches and punctuation.

He took a literary magazine, opened it and studied it carefully, carefully wrote down word by word, and finished writing it and submitted it to the paper
.

Yu Hua's family has a yard, and every time the postman rides over, he will throw the rejected manuscript directly in
from outside the wall.

Later, my father knew that as long as he heard a very loud voice, it must be a rejection of the
manuscript.

Yu Hua recalled: "The first novel I wrote was not published, and the manuscript did not know where it went
.
And then the second one, it seems, there is a story in it
.
Write the third part, not only the story, but also the characters, and I am fortunate that this third article is published
.
”

Eventually, by writing novels, Yu Hua successfully transferred to the
Cultural Center.

On the first day of work, Yu Hua was deliberately two hours late, but he found that he was the
first to arrive.

Yu Hua knew that he had come to the right place
.

"Bunk Friendship with Mo Yan"

In fact, many literary bigwigs, writing with the same original intention as Yu Hua, were not literary dreams
at first.

Yan Lianke, China's first Kafka Literature Prize winner, confessed that because he accidentally saw Zhang Kangkang writing the novel "The Demarcation Line", he was transferred from the countryside to the provincial city to work, so he was envious, in order to transfer to the city, in order to change his destiny, he also wrote a novel
.

There is also Yu Hua's good friend, Mo Yan, who has publicly stated many times that his motivation for writing is to wear shiny leather shoes, to have dumplings to eat every day, and even to marry the daughter
of the beautiful stonemason of the village.

Mo Yan and Yu Hua are classmates and close friends
.

In September 1988, the Lu Xun Literature College of the Chinese Writers Association and Beijing Normal University jointly held a
postgraduate class on literary creation.

Yu Hua and Mo Yan were separated into the same dormitory, or bunk beds
.

Mo Yan was 5 years older than Yu Hua, and at that time, Mo Yan had already written a number of representative works
such as "Red Sorghum" and "The Song of Heavenly Garlic".

And Yu Hua can only be regarded as a rising star, "Shouting in the Drizzle", "Alive" and other masterpieces that have not yet been written, nor have they won weighty literary awards
.

Mo Yan admired Yu Hua's talent very much, and he deliberately wrote in an article that "Yu Hua writes things very specially, others write that trees grow upwards, and Yu Hua will write the reflection of trees.
"

They saw each other and quickly became friends who talked about everything
.

Later, Mo Yan became the first writer in China to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, which was originally a matter of pride for
the Chinese people.

But there are many keyboard warriors who criticize Mo Yan, accusing his works of being full of filth, falling, and ugly.
.
.
Distorts and defaces the image
of the Chinese people.

Mo Yan became the target of public criticism, insulting, questioning, and even personal attacks
.

These people will never understand that sometimes it is precisely the desire to
expose the darkness with the light.

After Mo Yan won the award, Yu Hua went to congratulate him for the first time, and he also used Zhejiang Normal University to give a lecture on the theme of "Our Literature" to publicly defend Mo Yan:

"Writers write with their own conscience, and so does Mo Yan
.
He has been writing independently for 20 years, and the criticism online has been unfair
to him.
In terms of literary value, Mo Yan should be able to win ten Mao Dun Literature Awards
.
Because 90% of Mao Dun's literary works are not as bad as Mo Yan's worst one
.
His winning the Nobel Prize in Literature also marked a kind of social tolerance and progress
.
”

In fact, these words, Yu Hua said to Mo Yan, but also to himself
.

"The moonlight shines on the road, like it is sprinkled with salt"

Speaking of Yu Hua, the first impression is his masterpiece: "Alive"
.

Fugui's father fell into the pit and died, and his mother died of illness;

The son died of an overdose of blood drawn, and the daughter died of childbirth;

The wife died of hypochondriasis, and the son-in-law was caught in a cement slab at the construction site;

Even the only remaining grandson, Pac-Old, died
.

Obviously, the book is called "Alive", but the whole story is about death
.

As well as the later "Xu Sanguan Blood Sale" and "Brothers", all of them are the
shadows of suffering literature.

Although Yu Hua is considered to be a representative of the literature of suffering, like Wang Xiaobo, his works have a kind of absurdity, a kind of black humor: Fugui's human tragedy, Li Guangtou's hooligan behavior, Xu Sanguan's several blood sales.
.
.

If Wang Xiaobo is a maverick romantic knight, then Yu Hua is the ruthless scalpel
that dissects death.

Unknowingly, he stabbed you in the ass, turned over the flesh and was bleeding, and he did not allow you to lie on your stomach, only allowed you to sit
.

Some people have always criticized Yu Hua for writing too dark and too
negative.

But in my opinion, Yu Hua's darkness is different, it is the kind of
"after watching the darkness, I hope to win".

When one by one Fugui's relatives died, Yu Hua wrote: "I looked at the path that curved to the city, and I couldn't hear the sound of my son running barefoot, and the moonlight shone on the road, like it was sprinkled with salt
.
”

"The moonlight shines on the road as if it were sprinkled with salt" gives all emotions a buffer, like a volcanic eruption: people are always afraid, rejected, and unacceptable in the face of death, so emotions need to be temporarily isolated
.

But this sentence also makes the reader realize: Ah, the original relatives have left, and from then on there is only Fugui, and under the moonlight, he continues on the road
.

This is Yu Hua's strong desire to continue to live in the darkest moments, even if it is only for the sake of living itself
.

"Duan Zi Hand Yu Hua = Traffic Password?"

When he was a child, the summer was very hot, and Yu Hua ran directly to the morgue to lie down in order to escape the heat, because it was very cool
.

Perhaps Yu Hua is from a medical family, for death, Yu Hua often has a different understanding than others, thinking about human nature and the world, there are also different patterns and feelings
.

Figure | From The Reader

In my opinion, Yu Hua is a person who lives a very transparent life, speaks more bluntly, and abandons the arrogance
of the literati and rioters.

Just as he confessed that his original intention of abandoning medicine and conscription was that he did not want to extract his teeth and did not want to work, and wanted to go to work like the people in the cultural center
.

Some literary critics praised Yu Hua's "concise style", but Yu Yan responded: "That's because I know very few
words.
" ”

The reporter asked Yu Hua: "Do you still think that you are at the forefront of Chinese literature?" ”

Yu Hua said: "I still put me in the forefront in my heart, but whether others admit it or not, I don't care, anyway, some people think I'm not there
.
" ”

What makes netizens call the good guy the most is that Yu Hua is a writer who "leaves sadness to readers and happiness to himself"
.

When Yu Hua was interviewed, he said that when he wrote "Alive", he was happy: "I want to laugh when I think about how many people will cry to death during this period
.
"

If you tell Yu Hua that he has a great sense of humor, you will probably get this answer:

"I don't have any sense of humor"

"We don't have a single appendix in our house"

Yu Hua's humor has become the traffic code of major platforms recently, and all kinds of stems are endless
.

The reason why Yu Hua can get out of the circle and succeed has a lot to do
with his identity as a writer.

Some people say that it is a sad thing
for a writer to go out of the circle because of funny.

To be honest, I have reservations
.

If he is a good writer, it is not impossible
for more people to see him because of his funny and funny nature, and then read his works.

In the eyes of the public, writers should be very serious, very silent, and not good at words
.

But obviously, Yu Hua is an exception
.
