Writing career
Cheng (M) (1949 -) formerly known as Chung Cheng. Jiangjin Sichuan origin, was born in Beijing. High school every year "Cultural Revolution" interrupt their studies, the 1968 decentralization of Shanxi, Inner Mongolia and jump the queue, and then go to Yunnan farm. 1979 to Beijing in China Book Import and Export Corporation, he served as the "World Book" editor. His debut, "Chess King" ("Shanghai Literature" 1984 7), caused widespread concern, novella by the 1983-1984 National Outstanding Award. He has a tendency to a series of short prose, "over and over romantic" critics also aroused extensive attention. His work is the way the light color line drawing rendering the atmosphere of folk culture, revealing a strong Meaningful Life Yiqu, ignited on the universe, life, nature and philosophy of profound thinking people, concerned about the human way of life, the performance of the existing heritage of traditional culture . These works, and in 1985 he published on "Seeking" theory article, "Cultural Constraints on the human" reveals that he became Literary Roots Cultural Psychology of representatives in overseas also had a certain impact. 90 years after the settlement the United States, there are many essays published prose works, still followed the water down the language of his straightforward style.
Since then, successive works come out, and write a hybrid of "cultural constraints of human." The works "King of Chess", by the Writers Publishing House as a "Rising Star Series first series of literature," published, consists of three medium-length, "Chess," "King of Trees", "little emperors" and six short stories, "dinner" "stump", "working", "sleeper", "idiot" and "Lost."
Theoretical articles published in 1985, "Cultural Constraints on the human" in the 1990s after he moved to the United States, continue to have work published. Cheng novels have become rare in recent years, it has been the object of interest at home and abroad scholar. Essay when published.
Writing style
Ah Cheng's "Gossip Chatting" (1994) was his 1987-1993 Collection of between speech, secular and China around the Chinese novel to play the two topics. Times Publishing Company introduced this to the back of the book "Chess King" and "little emperors" of well-known, in particular, the novel that he is not only a big expert, essays are the best, said he was "using Chinese characters giants Transformation can be said that natural style home. "
This non overrated. Read the "King of Chess" readers want to will agree that the language of his novels, superb. Read the "idle gossip that" the seventy-seven received speech, the understanding will see that he wrote essays, the same handy. The scene of his very sense of the text. Cheng vitality, of the earthly attachment unlimited. With this disposition, we believe that each of his can be seen in the smallest of chores magical universe.
The nature of mind conceived style, unique style. Let us see how he evaluated Maggie Cheung: "Look, Maggie Cheung, the proliferation of all speech, and I see her play Center Stage, neighborhood hide before a turn, the desolation of despair, contempt, as if only the Berlin Film Award for best actress she is for this right. "
"Gossip Chatting" received, as is the speech, the scene being more significant. Said is a "gossip", when inserted into the speakers could not help but kick, made fun of themselves. Since very few Chinese magnanimity ridiculed. Cheng is an exception, and "funny" very home. He said he was hours of family poverty, could not afford books, always stood to the bookstore to see, so "to develop a hump-back water-Yi Yao, a scholar looks decadent."
This "playing staples" habit, to the United States, or to change, however, because the pricing of Chinese books too expensive, like Li's "Strange Garden" to sell more than twenty dollars. How to do? Secondly, had to ask, simply took the book in the store reading. Unfortunately, the spirit of this diligence did not appreciated, because "the boss behind the others soon, said the mainland's most hated, can not afford to buy Well, all stood watching, and especially love to watch 'that' . It really considered sighted boss, and put a little is not bad. shop only three people, I had to put down "fan park" is really convinced that the secular penetrating. proprietress of an up and down this tailoring, color Smart, just eyeliner description was a little heavy. "
Li Ang's "Strange Garden" is not appropriate for children to watch some of the content and wife due to "the kind of" for identification. Kung for the Jinfeng Press "Xiaolinguangji" as a sequence, cited the "Jokes", a: Lu who has executive Changgan into the gate, the early implementation of the inaccessible vertical and horizontal implementation of the will not enter into, namely, nothing out. Russia has to a father said: "Wufei saint, the whole thing more than men, why not cut into the room saw in?" Then according to the cut-off of.
This is a stupid encounter "smart Benbo" story. Kung are right, "by contrast with the contrasting, contrast a scene arouses laughter: Text the surface is very mild, bland, but it is the pen moves like a knife, extremely deep." Kung to the technique known as "cold Jun ", it is appropriate.
Cheng's predecessor, the skill of course the text Qian act as a "cold Xiaojiang", but he used to commanding position, like Cheng so "secular", was willing to shake things out of his stupid jokes themselves. Eighties of last century, the "Roots" is still a moment, and some commentators saw his novels along with "traditional culture" linked up to him a matter of course into the "Root faction." There are naysayers, he pulled out quietly put to alternative arrangements. This writer seesaw position to make him feel "the way described was a staggering."
Cheng surname minutes, "the parents of the Communist Party army in the siege in Peking," and named him "Ah Cheng." Son that is popular stars, "there are parents commemoration of Mao Zedong ', encircling the cities' successful revolutionary strategy means in there." Ten years later he was to the countryside to jump the queue, met who did not know the whole story of the Chaizi encircling the cities, Mr. solemnly said to him: "You 'City' word is anti-Italian." He thought for a moment, think this is really "fate."
Human feelings
"National Geographic", "Civilization," "Chinese Human Geography," Journal of Human Geography ... ... While the dream of all magazines, but now only a handful of such magazines in China, and most of the revision from the geographical or national professional magazine, So too professional, it is difficult to urban readers in-depth. "China Human Geography" before the comprehensive revision, but also focus on Southwest culture, and the organizers of Yunnan Academy of Social Sciences, from the text to the picture more biased in favor of anthropology, ethnic folklore, and sociology and other topics. So, after revision, "Chinese Human Geography," the first move is to play the "universal" card.
"Universal" concept is fairly low-key has been made famous writer Cheng, He is behind the revamped magazine editor in chief. Breasted cardigan, old pipe, "Chess" ... ... "Yi Mei Durian" between Chinese and Western cultures and from Cheng actually be able to "blending" into "fashion" brand, is unexpected. Miss Wang said that coming out is to go to Cheng to create a culture of quality in human geography has a considerable magazine. Cheng became the "China Human Geography," the editor in chief, he not only should have a positive positioning of the magazine, but also participate in a variety of large magazines of specific planning topics. From the first issue, to clearly inform the editors group Cheng, must have a "universal" mind.
