A commemoration of Mr. Cheng Xiaoqing】 【】 ------- ---- By Dong Miao
Old folk in the cultural sector in Suzhou, I know Mr. Cheng Xiaoqing latest.
Summer of 1957, I and the high school wing Gong introduced by the week Shoujuan the first time pay a visit to Cheng door. He lived in East Star Jiao Wang (formerly Longevity Bridge), the First People's Hospital to come (the original Bo Xi Hospital) morgue back door, next to the gloomy funeral home, often dark coffin lay in outside men and women Pimadaixiao funeral home, crying loudly. Some female students with the years, they fled back halfway.
Xiaoqing's family in front of more terror, to get through the long, narrow, lined with towering walls, dilapidated, often flying down tile Zala. I think the process is always a veteran detective novels written in China, possibly in the surrounding environment for inspiration it!
Lane is a narrow deep red paint Xiaoqing exclusive live wooden doors, thick. Knock knock hands numb the pain, side was crashed. Door is Mr. Cheng Xiaoqing, was already very old (64 years); pair of eyes and extremely bright, shining, seems to shine in our hearts.
Rong-Gong of the front bow, and presented a gift, a mimeographed "Selected Works of newly cultivated land", respectfully explained what he wanted: "We Su high school 'art lovers Association', to ask the teacher for reporting process, to talk about Experience of writing detective fiction. "
"No, do not deserve it, not when the teacher asked for the report more afraid when." Cheng Ji Zhuomi the lawless like the old, two middle school students to our bow and had it tea, send fruit, which makes us uncomfortable very sorry.
Said the old way, from the life of this when really nothing to say. Detective novel is the product of the old society, written with who to eat; see people quit quit anaerobic. No inflow products, hard your humble, not really literature. Students should read your book of Chairman Mao, Lu Xun's books, old liberated book writers, such as Zhao, Ding Ling, Zhou, Ma Feng, Xi Rong, as well as Soviet writer Maxim Gorky, Fadeev, Sholokhov, Austria Lancaster Pavlovsky, books Wuwu less, do not look at me Xiaoqing those fabrications of Laus son. Fraught with sinful ah!
I'm confused Yuting Yu, Yu Tingyu confused, do not always feel right track. Before listening to Mr. Fan Yanqiao said Xiaoqing own "Hawthorne Detective" extremely proud of, translated into English to the son, and father of Arthur Conan Doyle detective stories do not do signs; how it will suddenly modest, the article itself was not demoted value?
I also heard that his son called Chengyu De, is the "new Soviet Normal," the chemistry teacher, to study the American, English Guagua Jiao. Therefore, this message can not be wrong.
I was so young, outspoken, not for consideration, he gave his thoughts, ideas, Zhitong Tong and fell out.
Cheng said the old side, while we send read the "Selected Works of newly cultivated land." Endless praise, such poetry, such a novel, essays, yo, there are scripts Here! I Xiaoqing to write. Gee, Houshengkewei, beats!
Rong-Gong of helplessness is an admirer of Hawthorne, tangled and that it must process the old high school to go to the Soviet Union, for everyone to see a face 也好. Xiaoqing eyes light up, gave birth to an idea.
"Aiyo Yo, I have a toothache! My doctor appointment today to go to tooth extraction, dental mouthful to be plucked, one does not leave, all dentures, right, one does not stay. Seven wrapped around eight stir, how important thing this body parts Dingding forget it! "
He patted his head, complained that their memory is good and bad. Gong and pulled the wing, patting his hand and sincerely said, installed the teeth, I will go to your school. No teeth, can become a shameless (teeth) of the believers, how can I go see the person! Of course, some way behind, it may take half a year after it!
No way, Gong of the contest but his wing, only defeated. Before leaving, make a book, personally signed by the old process, "the fire of youth."
Have to send me a gift the old way, I refuse not to. He readily copied a tie, "a Jian Mei" to me: Bridge River house arrest (fish Fu) Water West, the wind slightly curved sides, lanes pedestrians. Seikei sunny courtyard with flowers, spring LIBERATION autumn Fenpi. Window shelf low trees, Xiao then dawn, dusk to send oblique Hui. Free to read more poems, the house Yiyi, countries also hee hee.
Look I do not quite understand it, the old mouth Banu Nu study process in the plaque, a letter to the two smoke seal characters: Lu cocoon. Oh, the old way in the cocoon, wrapped himself tightly to resist the coming political storm. His sharp detective novelist unique vision, has insight into this avalanche of "anti-rightist" campaign, in this mid-summer will be sweeping the country, bringing an unprecedented calamity.
Rong-Gong of high school, that was arrested for "counter-revolutionary crimes" sentenced to 18 years in prison. Oh, life can have a few 18 years, not to mention when was young.
In 1982, commemorating the 70th anniversary of Revolution, Suzhou Kun Opera open theaters "Jianhu Woman" (script by me), he came back to me, has been separated for 25 years, know each other completely.
When his life in Changshu rural farmers, with the help of the Lu Wenfu only run from a small bag plant; soon, but also failed. Or farming, pig farming, and burning brick, with a much older than his widow married, without writing a single word. High school in the Soviet Union that year, he's a young literature Caiqihengyi ah!
A few years later, I moved to Zhang, Lane 14, the First People's Hospital, which is diagonally opposite the morgue, and Mr. Cheng Xiaoqing's "cocoon Lo" only a few steps, only one bridge (look Starbridge) apart, often to He sent us Sukun Theatre rehearsal tickets. Have more contact, know the process turned out to be extremely funny old "old naughty boy." His weird anecdote, really endless.
Suzhou cultural old folk, there is a common feature, like wearing sunglasses. Rainy days are wearing, indoor wear. Brown crystal glass, tortoise shell frame, very stylish, very stylish, commonly known as "keep the eyepiece." When the writer, the most important thing a pair of eyes. This is not wearing glasses, myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, only for the maintenance of vision.
One day, Xiaoqing to the Sea King Women Teachers class. Class, his "support eyepiece" disappeared, how to find to be found. Those naughty girls, cover your mouth, are giggling. They said the way the teacher, you are not going to write detective novels? When you own a big detective Hawthorne, determine what would be the Pirates who? Hide where?
Xiaoqing an appearance with confidence, smiled and said, the glasses, and I it is a treasure, others for no purpose. Thieves rob no rivers and lakes, there will not be thief to steal; just a prank it all of you! As for where to hide it, Xiaoqing analyze more than possible, each of which was very convincing, forever. More about his farther, the more the girls laugh about the more powerful. Some people could not bear it, cried, Cheng teacher, you look back at it!
Xiaoqing looked back, his baby, "Yang eyepiece" Huang Ding rock to hang on the blackboard, only a few feet away from his back of the head.
He was very awkward, self-mockery that the Suzhou No wonder, then saying the old saying, "look back thousands of tin can not buy", I get thousands of tin back to the baby not to buy it!
On another occasion, or in this class, it made his hat was gone. He knows what naughty girl is hiding. Sure enough, one of his favorite female students to squeeze squeeze his eyes and silently pointed to the podium inside. He was a pretty good idea, and a show of a pass, and finally went straight to the podium, in a drawer out hats to wear to the head. Cheng Great Detective "outstanding" performance, we won the most enthusiastic applause.
Xiaoqing triumphantly returned home, his wife was going to brag about something. Chapter with the first to ask his wife Huang, phenylephrine (Xiaoqing whose real name is blue heart, milk Mingfu Lin), you Shashi Hou changed the hat? Buy a hat has to pick a good pick, so why buy an old hat?
Xiaoqing Take a look, Dahushangdang! It turned out he's felt hat navy, now become a dark green. Impudent girl who bullied him wearing a "support eyepiece", can not distinguish colors, deliberately make fun of him, to a mistaken identity.
Xiaoqing wrote a detective novel, a very famous in Suzhou city. Suren big to help find a million mill boss Yanxin Qi Jin and Yuan (KMT Jinyuan coupons issued) shares, next to Ningbo A little milk to help find the missing six months of an umbrella. But his most talked about, is a poor fishing family women, wash the grievances. This material, I wonder if he has written, "Hawthorne Detective" to go?
I heard the story simply to talk about it!
Do not know what year. One day, Wang Chi-sing to a few more motorcycles on the bridge, then two yellow Jeep, lovemaking, those who jumped, the big guy is armed, shouting loudly to see Xiaoqing. Of course, Xiaoqing narrow alley in front of house, the car does not go open; only welcomed by the Xiaoqing out. Look like a military adjutant, politely let the jeep on the Xiaoqing, that is to ask him to help the detection of a mystery. While whistling to pull away.
The status of the original well-known prominent military officials, Nets Garden in Suzhou nurturing a mistress. At that time, the Nets Garden can live person;, of course, not the ordinary people live.
Resort officials to the Soviet Union, want to eat carp, personally killing his mistress. Do not want to, lost a devastating 10 carats diamond ring, the Nets Garden rummaged inside and out, just could not see it anyway. They suspected the fish get into the park to steal a fishing woman by soldiers in the beam of her suspension, torture was black and blue, also to no avail.
Xiaoqing into the Nets Garden, four reconnaissance, especially in the slaughter of the gutter next to the fish, see more carefully. There has long been digging three feet, each brick, each piece is sand and mud washed out screen, which makes the refreshing cool, how can the whereabouts of diamond rings! At this point, "Oh Ang" sound, the trees drilled a "white turtle." Please do not mistake, it is not really "turtle", but "Goose." Suzhou amusement to single goose is called "White Turtle" (to use Wu to read.) Xiaoqing binocular luster, handle a beat, happy to say, He Ha, thief found the bones!
Kill "white turtle", and sure enough in its bulging crop yard expansion, thumb through a bright ring of the rocket odd. Maybe it swallowed the fish offal straying into its mouth; perhaps it like shiny objects, which do not know. Beam fishing woman put down, to knock a few ring Xiaoqing first to thank the help of ex.
Xiaoqing often in life, inspiration. One day, he went to Soochow University, Chinese classes to foreigners. Come too early, the classroom windows and doors are shut. He hit hard with the body, slammed the door open; only to hear in the classroom, "pat" while chaos ring, all the windows are automatically opened, and the seats empty. He was covered in a Jiling, felt as if some hideous demon hidden in the house.
Well, naturally the role of air. Xiaoqing by this revelation, became his most proud of the beginning of a detective novel.
Second, work quiz】】 Xiaoqing ---- By: ellry
◎ Xiaoqing detective story which first chapter?
Yan Fu in the Sun, "A Short History of the Republic of Old novelist" in talking about Xiaoqing said: "The Virgin of making, as the" Ghost Envy "chapter, in feelings, and Mao, leap off the paper, Journal of Business," Novel Monthly "." Zheng Yimei also said: "(Xiaoqing) until after Sili in the detective Jue, jealous ghost debut, Mail on investment novels newspaper editor who's deep-Yun Tie Awards." strict Fu Sun, then run, and can not be sure "Ghost Envy" is a detective novel. And Zheng Yimei saying almost in the "Jealous Ghost," as detective fiction. However, the "ghost jealous," said a quite a few of the "Short Story Monthly" on finding out (Jilin Literature and History Edition Preface Pei-dimensional effect, said finding out, Lu Runxiang also known as finding out.) The "Ghost Envy" does have this, in "Novel Sea" Volume 1, No. 4 (April 1, 1915). Alice Claude is with the British, Xiaoqing translation (according to the "New Fiction titles added to Late Qing Dynasty"). Wei Shouzhong chronology did not mention is the translation of the novel. In addition Xiaoqing an article "ghost enemies," in "Novel Monthly" Volume 10 No. 8 (August 25, 1919), but the age does not seem to match. As a result, Lu Runxiang to "light shadow" for Cheng Xiaoqing detective fiction debut. To be sure this is the first name of the detective novels by Nathaniel Hawthorne. But if this is Xiaoqing first detective novels created it? "Light shadow" published in the autumn of 1941, and July 1914 (Cheng) Little Green also published several articles, such as "concubine", "left", but was signed Xiaoqing, maybe it is Xiaoqing himself, but also I do not know the original or translated. The exact Xiaoqing before 1914 have not seen work, Wu Chenghui in the "Xiaoqing and" Hawthorne Detective> "in the speculation of this (" light shadow ") began to publish articles before Xiaoqing, this is only a guess, the current not yet confirmed.
◎ "light shadow" Which articles?
"Light shadow" should be the first detective novels of Hawthorne, but the selection of several of the later does not seem to include it. Lu Runxiang speculated that: "light shadow" could be a "drink." So in the end is not it? "Drink" contained in the "novel world" Volume 1, 4 (January 26, 1923). Of course, can not explain it not by the "light shadow" an adaptation, because "Wodao mind" was adapted (classical into the vernacular) as "blood dagger." But in the "Jiangnan Yan," said: "When the students, the remainder (mean pack Lang) to Liu and his body was suspected medical, but also the generous attempts assistant Hawthorne Fortunately, before been Poubai. After more than grass," light shadow "chapter above its things. "(according to the Jilin Literature and History Edition) In other words," light shadow "at least the following elements: First, when the students, that is, packets Lang young, two," Liu Medical "event, three, including Lang Suspects. Then "drink" consistent with time? According to Jilin Literature and History of the "drink", "Although my age is not far from forty," that is in his thirties, with "classmates" does not match, "Liu Yi" and is suspected of two packages nor Lang . Although we do not know, "light shadow" in the end say what, but on the available information, "drink" in addition to the "light shadow" words take the edge, the other was not any connection. There are two explanations can explain this situation: First, the "drink" is indeed based on "light shadow" adaptation, but a thorough revision Xiaoqing (almost unrecognizable?), II, "drink" is not a "light shadow" need to further "light shadow" investigation. Here I prefer the second interpretation.
Xiaoqing in the end the number of articles written works, for now, it is difficult to give an exact figure (mentioned in the introduction of international radio version of 156, I do not know the data source.) And Xiaoqing bibliography, compiled in addition to Wei Shouzhong "Xiaoqing Chronology of Life and the translation of" outside, no more complete. And "Chronology" a little too vague, there are some errors. Find books by some of my (mainly reference books listed in the end), finishing the work of this Xiaoqing list. However, there are many omissions in this list and imperfections. Due to constraints, I can not find the original of the Republic of China to the books, only some related searches have compiled a good bibliography of the works of Cheng Xiaoqing, these data may be some second-hand or even third-hand things, and can not guarantee full true and reliable. The popular literary works of the Republic of China, for various reasons, not many passed down, and several national titles are not all library collections bibliography, only part of the library collection, as some of the book has been lost, and some also only extract under the card titles. "General Bibliography Republic of China", "General Bibliography of Modern Chinese Literature" Although known as the General Bibliography, but quite comprehensive, but does not include magazines, newspaper articles, missing a large number of works also can be imagined. "New additions Late Qing Dynasty novel directory" received magazines, newspaper articles (incomplete), but the relatively short span of years, Xiaoqing creative during the peak period (three to four years) are not included. "Inventory of the Chinese Journal of Modern Literature," contains less popular literary magazine, I believe will be missing a lot of work. In addition, the newspaper directory finishing less, is quite regrettable.
