個人概述
由於路遙出身農村,他的寫作素材基本來自農村生活,他始終認定自己“是一個農民血統的兒子”,是“既帶着‘農村味’又帶着‘城市味’的人”,他堅信 “人生的最大的幸福也許在於創作的過程,而不在於那個結果”。所以他認為“衹有在無比沉重的勞動中,人才活得更為充實”。他始終以深深糾纏的故鄉情結和生命的沉重感去感受生活,以陝北大地作為一個沉伏在他心裏的永恆的詩意象徵,每當他的創作進入低𠔌時,他都是一個人獨自去陝北故鄉的“毛烏素沙漠”,他在那裏審視自己,觀照社會。
路遙的創作隨筆《早晨從中午開始》正讓我們穿透他的作品而進入到他的內心世界,從中我們可以看到他對文學的執着和創作時的艱辛,“字字看來皆是血,十年辛苦不尋常“,正是這樣纔使我們看到了鮮花和掌聲之後的艱難之路。
路遙的追求與成功,他的憂思與矛盾,都同他的心理結構有着密切的聯繫,他被稱為“土著”作傢,主要受到的是農民文化的影響,作為農民的兒子,他深深地愛着他的故鄉,承襲和接受了傳統文化的影響,以農民生活作為他取之不盡的源泉。但他又是一名“文明”的作傢,他立意高遠,廣納博取,時時瞻望世界文化,他喜歡《紅樓夢》 、魯訊的作品,巴爾紮剋、托爾斯泰、肖洛霍夫的作品他更是百讀不厭。各種報紙期刊他也經常翻閱,勤奮大量的閱讀,豐富多彩的現實生活,再參之以他獨特的生活體驗,使他的創作博大宏闊卻又情深意長。
路遙平凡的人生構鑄了輝煌的世界,他的全部作品收入了五捲本的《路遙文集》 。
路遙的青少年時代
曾寫出洋洋百萬字的文學作品,為我們理想的生活而謳歌、吶喊的作傢路遙,已輕輕地離開的們7年了,儘管很長時間以來,我們都不願相信這一點。
這位黃土地生養的作傢,似乎又化作了一把黃土,飄落在每座山巔之上,也似乎化作了縷縷炊煙,彌漫在每一孔窯洞裏,給我們活着的人,留下無限的思念和財富。
1949年鼕天,在陝北清澗縣一個很偏僻的荒山溝裏,誕生了一個男孩,那位大字不識一個的農民父親,决沒料到他的兒子日後會成為震驚中國文壇的著名作傢。
當路遙降生到這人間時,他的家庭和社會生活的生存環境,並沒有給他呈現出玫瑰一樣豔麗的色彩。他的傢裏十分貧窮,十來口人衹有一床被子,缺吃,少穿,越來越多的孩子成了這個家庭的主要負擔。
童年的路遙,特別聰明和懂事。他的母親曾說:“我傢路遙從小就是個精,就是個腦子利(清澗方言,即腦子聰明),從來沒讓我急過肚子。他七八歲就會砍柴了,他把砍的柴捆成一捆一捆,摞在鹼畔上,摞下美美一摞,俊得讓人捨不得燒。”
路遙在王傢堡上完一年級後,這個貧窮的傢再也沒辦法維持生計了,於是,父母决定把他們的第一個兒子路遙,過繼給遠在百裏之外--延川縣郭傢溝的哥哥。
那是一個秋天的早晨,父親拖拉着路遙離開王傢堡,翻過九裏山,順着秀延河嚮他大伯傢走去。走到清澗縣城宿了一夜,沒有錢吃飯,父親衹好用生玉米棒子給他充饑。第二天黎明,父親用僅有的一毛錢為他買了一碗油茶,而後,繼續趕路。整個路程上百裏,路遙腳穿一雙破布鞋,走到目的地時,他身上的衣服都破了,腳上也磨起了很多血泡。當時路遙衹有8歲。
第二天清晨,父親以趕集為藉口走了。路遙躲在村裏一棵老槐樹背後,眼淚撲簌撲簌的看着父親蹋着朦朧的晨霧,夾着個包袱,像小偷一樣悄無聲息地走了。就這樣,路遙和家乡一別就是5年,父母很少來看望,也沒能力關心他。從清澗老傢走到延川郭傢溝,是路遙人生的辛酸之旅,他一般不願與人說起。
1987年的一個有月亮的晚上,路遙曾對他的好友朱合作說起這件事。他說,他成年之後也極少去清澗縣城,因為那地方曾是“我的傷心落淚之地”。
從此,路遙就與他的養父母生活在一下走。
慈愛、質樸的養母,如同黃土地上的馬菇茹,寂寞地開着燦爛的花。她和她的老伴,對路遙如親生兒子一樣,管他吃,管他穿,什麽都由着他。
養父母有時連口糧也沒法供應,路遙就常常獨自跑到荒野地裏,在收穫過的土地上,去尋覓殘留下的玉米粒充饑。
在憨厚善良的養父母支持下,路遙度過了他的求學時代。路遙的養父也是個農民,沒有孩子,傢裏也很貧窮,衹能勉強供路遙上村裏的小學。那時,路遙時常為買不起幾分錢一支的鉛筆而憂愁半天。
上小學時,路遙最怕上美術課。沒有道林紙,沒有水彩顔料,連那指頭大的十二色硬塊水色也買不起--每片都要一毛錢。他束手無策,衹得呆呆坐着,憂傷地看同學們調色、畫畫,或者找個藉口離開教室,不到下課不再回來。
小學時,路遙的觀察力頗強。他曾根據各人的相貌特徵、身材高低、發音習慣、家庭出身等特點,給班裏的每個同學送去一個令人發笑的又貼切的“綽號”。
路遙升初中時,因生活所迫,養父不願讓他參加考試。路遙心裏明白,養父實在沒有能力供他上學了。但生性倔強的路遙,是含着淚也要證明自己行!當時,在1000多名考生中,縣立中學衹招收100來人。結果,路遙在人生的第一次競爭中勝利了。
但傢裏實在沒有錢,半個月過去了,路遙都沒有去報名,等到東挪西藉地籌到錢去報名時,學校按規定不收了。路遙哭着找到正在縣上開黨代會的村黨支部書記。好心的村支書領着他找縣長、局長、校長、最後文教局開了個碰頭會,纔收下這個窮學生。
初中三年,是路遙人生中最睏頓和難熬的一段經歷。他沒有生活保障,連每月五六元的伙食費都交不起,有時連五分七的清水煮蘿蔔菜也吃不起。那時,學校的飯菜分為甲、乙、丙三個等級,路遙所吃的全是丙級飯:稀飯、黑窩頭、野酸菜。而所有這些,還是他要好的同學們湊集起來的。
每個星期天,路遙都回村裏參加勞動,吆喝牛耕種自留地,去大田裏背莊稼,掙工分,給貧睏的傢添補收入……因而,他受到村裏人的誇奬,常常得到勞動奬狀。
小小的路遙,不僅僅滿足於身邊的一事一物,還對外面的世界有一種荒漠渴盼清泉般的嚮往。
想瞭解外面,當時沒有其它途徑,衹有讀各種各樣的書。於是,路遙就對各種各樣的書産生了強烈的興趣,如饑似渴地讀個沒完。
課本,路遙看幾遍就罷手,卻專愛一晚上一晚上地熬油點燈讀課外書,這也許是他平時學習成績一般,但考分比較高的一個原因吧。
17歲之前,路遙連縣境也沒出過,但他已知道外面世界的很多事情了。路遙幻想有一天寫本書,把自己的想法痛痛快快地告訴更多的人,這使他産生了一種寫作的願望,因此路遙在小學和中學,每一篇作文都寫得很認真。
上中學時,路遙對文學作品産生了濃厚的興趣。那時,他近乎貪婪地閱讀《鋼鐵是怎樣煉成的》《青年近衛軍》《毀滅》《鐵流》等書籍,不僅為了創作,更主要的是想把自己鍛煉成為一個意志堅強的人。
在路遙的中學時代,給他幫助最大、影響最深的,是他的班主任常友潤老師。
常老師從路遙的作文中,看出他是一株很有希望的文學幼苗,便開始有意識地讓他往這方面發展。衹要班上需要寫成文字的東西常老師就讓路遙去嘗試。
一次,班上舉行朗誦會,朗誦的內容有詩歌、散文、戲劇片斷。為了把這次活動辦得有聲有色,也為了鍛煉路遙,常老師就讓路遙用文學語言寫出晚會的串聯詞。晚會上,那優美的串聯詞和精彩的朗誦,贏得了師生們的一陣陣掌聲。
常老師還把自己積攢下的很多文藝書籍送給路遙,有《鋼鐵是怎樣煉成的》《日日夜夜》《紅旗譜》《創業史》《紅樓夢》《三國演義》等中外名著。
常老師把自己的財富,都無私地交給了這位頗有天賦的窮學生,是期望路遙日後成纔。
所以,即使成纔成名了,路遙都把這位老師當作一生的知己,經常到常老師傢去看望,感謝老師的培育之恩。
1966年,路遙中學畢業後,回鄉村教書,後又調到縣文工團搞編劇。
饑餓的經歷和苦難的生活,給路遙留下了非常強烈的印象,也促使他拿起自己擅長的筆,來反映這憂傷或者苦痛的一切。路遙在《在睏難的日子裏》和《平凡的世界》裏所寫的,都有着自己辛酸的影子。
命運沒有給路遙帶來溫飽和高貴,卻使他深刻地理解了人生的艱辛和勞累。正如他在《平凡的世界》裏所寫的:“我們出身於貧睏的農民家庭--永遠不要鄙視我們的出身,它給我們帶來的好處將一生受用不盡。”
由於他讀得多,筆桿子又利索,加之到處盛開的陝北民間藝術之花,給了他“後天的補養”,所以,路遙文學創作的信心越發高漲。他以“櫻依紅”的筆名,在縣文化館的油印刊物《革命文化》上發表了《塞上柳》、《車過南京橋》兩首詩歌。這兩炮打響,路遙便一發不可收地嚮文壇進軍,有時達到了廢寢忘食的地步。
路遙不停地寫呀寫,僅1972年一年中,他就創作詩歌50餘首,其中有6首在報刊上發表。他的知名度也越來越高。
同時,路遙還與曹𠔌溪、白軍民、陶正等文學知音一起,籌辦了屬於他們那片天地的文學小報《山花》。他們自寫、自編、自印,辛勤地出版着《山花》這張充滿泥土氣息的八開小報。
反過來,《山花》也以其誘人的魅力,真誠地改變着他們中間的每一個人。對路遙來說,它似乎具有重要的轉折意義。正如路遙在《山花》創辦十周年紀念大會上所說:“藝術,用它巨大的魅力改變一個人的生活道路。我深深感謝親愛的《山花》的,正是這一點。”
1973年,23歲的路遙一步一麯折地被推薦到延安大學中文係,開始了寒窗苦讀的生活。他饑渴而貪婪地吸吮於文學世界的百花叢中,跨入了他人生旅途中一個新的驛站。
路遙-職業生涯
路遙路遙的作品《人生》
1、1949年出生於陝北山區一個貧睏的農民家庭,7 歲時因為傢裏睏難被過繼給延川縣農村的伯父。文革開始後受影響直到69年底纔回到傢裏務農。這段時間裏他做過許多臨時性的工作,並在農村一小學中教過一年書。
2、1973年進入延安大學中文係學習,其間開始文學創作。大學畢業後,任《陝西文藝》 (今為《延河》 )編輯。
3、1992年積勞成疾,英年早逝。
4、1980年發表《驚人動魄的一幕》 ,獲得第一屆全國優秀中篇小說奬,《人生》 、 《在睏難的日子裏》 也相繼獲奬。 《人生》發表於1982年,改革時期陝北高原的城鄉生活構成了它的時空背景。
5、 1991年完成長篇小說 《平凡的世界》 獲得第三屆矛盾文學奬,他的作品 《人生》 被改編成電影後,引起巨大的轟動。
《平凡的世界》 還未完成即在中央人民電臺廣播。他的創作隨筆 《早晨從中午開始》 更是讓人看到了他對文學事業的執着的信心和付出的代價。正如 《痛悼路遙》 一文中所寫:“計算成功的方式是吃苦和受罪,他拼命工作,玩命寫作,自我折磨式的付出,在文學創作這條艱辛寂寞的道路上,竭盡全力,一路血汗嚮高峰攀登”。對人生的執着追求,對他所熱愛的故鄉的鐘情,以及對他的現實主義寫作手法的自信,這一切構成了路遙小說基本的特徵。

路遙-個人影響
路遙路遙
2007年11月17日是著名作傢路遙逝世15周年紀念日,陝西文藝界在西安和路遙的母校延安大學舉行一係列活動,紀念這位英年早逝的作傢。
“平凡的世界,輝煌的人生。”這句刻在路遙墓前的一塊方石上的悼詞,極為恰當地表述了路遙短暫而輝煌的文學人生。17日上午,出版《路遙文集》的華夏出版社有關負責人、陝西省作協有關人士、專程從日本趕來的路遙研究專傢等近百人,出席了在延安大學路遙墓前舉行的紀念儀式。
此前,陝西省作傢、評論傢和學者在陝西師範大學舉行集會,緬懷路遙。知名作傢賈平凹、高建群及評論傢李星等以及路遙的親友,與陝西師大近千名師生一起,回憶和評論了路遙的文學生涯。陝西省作協副主席曉雷寫成一部6萬字的紀實作品《男兒有淚》 ,用飽含感情的筆觸,還原了一個真實的路遙。曾以《最後一個匈奴》而成名的作傢高建群未語淚先流,高聲朗誦了《扶路遙上山》片斷,使不少人淚灑會場。
上世紀80年代,路遙以刻畫黃土高坡的陝北人沉重命運的小說《人生》和《平凡的世界》在全國引起巨大反響,後者獲得茅盾文學奬。1992年,時年42歲的路遙積勞成疾,在西安永遠放下了手中的筆。
2007年11月17日在延安大學的文匯山路遙墓前,來自海內外的100多位路遙研究者,肅穆地獻上花籃,表達對路遙的追思。在當天舉行的全國路遙研究學術研討會上,著名文學評論傢何西來、李建軍等學者就路遙的作品進行了研討。中國作傢協會嚮大會發來電函,對路遙的文品及人品給予極高評價。
路遙為路遙文學館揭牌
2007年11月17日上午,一座紀念我國“茅盾文學奬”獲得者、當代已故著名作傢路遙的文學紀念館正式成立。路遙文學館位於延安大學窯洞建築群一排,背依安葬路遙的文匯山,面臨窯洞廣場,占地約180平方米,館名由當代文學大傢王蒙先生題寫。全國政協文教衛委員會副主任王巨纔、中國作傢協會副主席陳忠實為該館揭牌。
在上世紀八九十年代,路遙是中國最有影響力的作傢之一,他的《平凡的世界》長銷不衰,人們無法理解,在路遙去世之後,他的傢人為什麽陷入如此的絶境?同時人們又不得不為路遙的精神所折服,他生前睏頓,死後卻為我們留下了巨大的精神財富,那就是文學的堅守和信仰。
作品雖暢銷,但是錢很有限
延安大學路遙研究會的內部期刊中,曾記載了這樣一個故事:路遙嚮前來看望他的朋友張曉光求助,路遙說:“我實在窮得可怕,你認識那麽多企業傢,能不能幫我找一個經理廠長,我給人傢寫篇報告文學,給我掙幾個錢。”張曉光後來幫路遙聯繫了一個企業傢,這也是路遙惟一一次賣自己的名字,那篇文章剛發表,路遙就病倒了。
王天笑也告訴記者,路遙名氣是有了,但錢的確是沒有賺到多少,“比如路遙百萬字巨著《平凡的世界》 ,當時出版社給的稿費大概是千字30元。在作品出版前就已經預支得差不多了,傢裏的開支和供養養父母、親父母,加上他又要抽煙,實際上並沒有賺到什麽錢。他去世後衹留下1萬元的存折和近萬元的欠賬”。
說起作品的版權歸屬,王天笑說,雖然路遙沒有立下遺囑,但他的妻子和女兒是法定繼承人,路遙又這麽疼愛女兒,無論從任何角度,他們都不想去爭路遙的作品版權。在繼承路遙作品版權後,路遙的妻子林達對出版方面很不瞭解,導致路遙作品出版的混亂,一些出版社超過了專有出版權的期限卻仍在銷售路遙的作品,而且一些出版社與林達簽約時並不是支付版稅而是支付稿費,協議有效期為10年,稿酬僅為每千字30元。在這種方式下,即使路遙作品再暢銷,路遙妻女拿的錢也非常有限。
精神遺産價值不可估量
千萬讀者受惠
著名作傢、陝師大副教授朱鴻表示,路遙的精神遺産至少有以下四點:第一,他對文學事業的那種神聖感,以整個生命去打造自己的文學;第二,他對普通人命運深刻、持久地關註;第三,他所塑造的高加林、孫少平等人物形象,給了社會底層特別是正處於奮鬥中的青年,以永遠的感情共鳴與精神鼓勵;第四,他盡可能地挖掘、表現了每個人本身潛在的樸素而又寶貴的精神。這四點足以使一位作傢永遠不朽。“路遙是我尊敬的朋友和師長”,著名作傢、省文聯副主席高建群如此說道。一個作傢去世15年了,人們還在熱烈地懷念他,還在談論他的作品,這本身就是對一個作傢最高的奬勵。路遙的作品中那些人物及其命運,已遠遠超越了文學的範疇,他給一切卑微的人物以勇氣與光亮,讓他們知道自己能夠走多遠。
著名作傢、省作協副主席曉雷與路遙在陝北相識多年,他說路遙生前經常說一句話,“金盆打了分量在”,這句話可以用來概括路遙,路遙清貧的身後,留下的是五捲文集,這套文集如同一個績優股,隨着日月遞進,其價格指標每時每刻都在上升,其價值難以用數字估量,受惠的是他的千千萬萬讀者和同行者。
路遙-人物評價
賈平凹:懷念路遙人格和文格的奇特魅力(寫於路遙逝世十五周年時)
時間真快,路遙已經去世十五年了。十五年裏常常想起他。
想起在延川的一個山頭上,他指着山下的縣城說:當年我穿着件破棉襖,但我在這裏翻江倒海過,你信不!我當然信的,聽說過他還是少年的一些事。他把一塊石頭使勁嚮溝裏扔去,溝畔裏一群鳥便轟然而起。想起在省作協換屆時,票一投完,他在厠所裏給我說:好得很,咱要的就是咱倆的票比他們多!他然後把尿尿得很高。想起他拉我去他傢吃燴面片,他削土豆皮很狠,說:我弄長篇呀,你給咱多弄些中篇,不信打不出潼關!想起他從陝北寫作回來,人瘦了一圈兒,我問寫作咋樣,他說:這回吃了大苦咧,稿子一寫完,你要抽好煙哩!想起《平凡的世界》出版後一段時間受到冷落,他給我說:狗日的,一滿都不懂文學!想起獲奬回來,我嚮他祝賀,他說:你猜我在臺上想啥的?我說:想啥哩?他說:我把他們都踩在腳下了!想起他幾次要我調到省作協去,而我一直沒去,當又到換屆的時候,正是我在單位不順心,在街上碰着他去購置呢絨大衣,我說了想去作協的想法,他卻說:西安那地盤你要給咱守住啊!想想他受整時,我去看他,他說:要整倒我的人還沒有生下哩!我生病住了院,他帶着約煙來看我,說:該歇一歇了,你寫那麽多,還讓別人活不活?!想起他的虎背熊腰。想起他坐在省作協大院裏那個破藤椅打盹的樣子。想起他病了我去看他,他說:這個病房好吧?省委常委會開了會讓我住進來的。想起他快不行了,我又去醫院看他,他說:等他出院了,你和我到陝北去,尋個山圪嶗住下,咱一邊放羊一邊養身子。
他是一個優秀的作傢,他是一個出色的政治傢,他是一個氣勢磅礴的人。但他是誇父,倒在幹渴的路上。
他雖然去世了,他的作品仍然被讀者捶讀,他的故事依舊被傳頌。
陝西的作傢每每聚在一起,免不了發感慨:如果路遙還活着不知現在是什麽樣子?這誰也說不準。但肯定是他會寫出更多更好的作品,他會幹出許多令人佩服又乍舌的事來。
他是一個強人。強人的身上有他比一般人的優秀處,也有被一般人不可理解處。他大氣,也霸道,他痛快豪爽,也使勁用狠,他讓你尊敬也讓你畏懼,他關心別人,卻隱瞞自己的病情,他剛強自負不能容忍居於人後,但兒女情長感情脆弱內心寂寞。
陝西畫界有人以為自己是石魯,我聽到石魯的一個學生說:他算什麽呀,不要說石魯的長處,他連石魯的短處都學不來!
路遙是一個大抱負的人,文學或許還不是他人生的第一選擇,但他幹什麽都會幹成,他的文學就像火一樣燃出炙人的燦爛的光焰。
現在,我們很少能看到有這樣的人了。
有人說路遙是纍死的,證據是他寫過《早晨,從中午開始》的書。但路遙不是纍死的,他晝伏夜出,是職業的習慣,也是一頭猛獸的秉性。有人說路遙是窮死的,因為他死時還欠人萬元,但那個年代都窮呀而路遙在陝西作傢裏一直抽高檔煙,喝咖啡,為給女兒吃西餐曾滿城跑遍。
扼殺他的是遺傳基因。在他死後,他的四個弟弟都患上了與他同樣的肝硬化腹水病,而且又在幾乎相同的年齡段,已去世了兩個,另兩個現正病得厲害。這是一個悲苦的傢族!一個瓷杯和一個木杯在一做出來就决定了它的壽命長短,但也就在這種基因的命運下,路遙暫短的人生是光彩的,他是以人格和文格的奇特魅力而長壽的。
在陝西,有兩個人會長久,那就是石魯和路遙。(賈平凹)
陳忠實:路遙無愧於哺育他的土地和人民(寫於路遙逝世十五周年時)
我們不得不接受這樣的事實,無論這個事實多麽殘酷以至至今仍不能被理智所接納,這就是:一顆璀璨的星從中國的天宇間隕落了!
一顆智慧的頭顱終止了異常活躍異常深刻也異常痛苦的思維。
這就是路遙。
他曾經是我們引以為自豪的文學大省裏的一員主將,又是我們這個號稱陝西作傢群體中的小兄弟;他的猝然離隊使得這個整齊的隊列出現一個大位置的空缺,也使這個生機勃勃的群體呈現寂寞。當我們:比他小的小弟和比他年長的大哥以及更多的關註他成長的文學前輩們看着他突然離隊並為他送行,諸多痛楚因素中最難以承受的是物傷其類的本能的悲哀。
路遙從中國西北的一個自然環境最惡劣也最貧窮的縣的山村走出來,為中國當代文學的繁榮創造了絢爛的篇章。這不單是路遙個人的凱歌。它至少給我們以這樣的啓迪,我們這個民族所潛存的義無反顧的進取精神和旺盛而又強大的藝術創作力量。路遙已經形成的開闊宏大的視野,深沉睿智的穿射歷史和實現的思想,成就大事業者的強大的氣魄,為實現理想的堅忍不拔和艱苦卓絶的耐力,充分顯示出這個古老而又優秀民族最優秀的品質。
路遙入切地關註着生活演進的艱難進程,入切地關註着整個民族擺脫沉痾復興復壯的歷史性變遷,以及由此而産生的巨大痛苦和巨大歡樂。路遙並不在意個人的有幸與不幸,得了或失了,甚至包括伴隨他的整個童年時期的饑餓在內的艱辛歷程。這是作為一個深刻作傢的路遙與平庸文人的最本質區別。正是在這一點上,路遙成為具有獨立思維和藝術品格的路遙。
路遙的精神世界是由普通勞動者構建的“平凡的世界”,他在當代作傢中最能深刻地理解這個平凡的世界裏的人們對中國意味着什麽。他本身就是這個平凡世界裏並不特別經意而産生的一個,卻成了這個世界人們精神上的執言者,他的智慧集合了這個世界的全部精華,又剔除了母胎帶給他的所有腥穢,從而使他的精神一次又一次裂變和升華。他的情感卻是與之無法剝離的血肉情感。這樣,我們才能破譯長篇小說 《平凡的世界》裏那深刻的現代理性和動人心魄的真血真情。路遙在創作那些普通人生存形態的平凡世界裏,不僅不能容忍任何對這個世界的過去和現在、歷史和現實的解釋的隨意性,甚至連一句一詞的描繪中的矯情和嬌氣也决不容忍。他有深切的感知和清醒的理智,以為那些隨意的解釋和矯情嬌氣的描繪,不過是作傢自身心理不健康不健全的表現,並不屬於那個平凡世界裏的人們。路遙因此獲得了這個世界裏數以億計的普通人的尊敬和崇拜,他溝通了這個世界的人們和地球人類的情感。這是作為獨立思維的作傢路遙最難仿效的本領。
我們無以排解的悲痛發自最深切的惋惜。42歲,一個剛剛走嚮成熟的作傢的死亡意味着什麽?本來,我們完全可以自信地期待,屬於路遙的真正輝煌的歷程纔剛剛開始。我深沉的惋惜正是出自對一個文學大省一個國傢和民族的文學事業的無法彌補的損失。一切已不能輓回於萬一。所以期待即使是自信的有把握的,也都在1992年11月17日那個早晨被徹底粉碎了。然而我們就路遙截止到1992年11月17日早晨8時20分的整個生命歷程來估價,完全可以說,他不僅是我們這個群體而在更廣泛的中國當代中青年作傢中,也是相當出色相當傑出的一個。就生命的經歷而言,路遙是短暫的;就生命的質量而言,路遙是輝煌的。能在如此短暫的生命歷程中創造如此輝煌如此有聲有色的生命高質量,路遙是無愧於他的整個人生的,無愧於哺育他的土地和人民的。
以路遙的名義,我們寄望於每一個年輕或年長的弟兄,努力創造,為中國文學的全面繁榮而奮爭。衹是在奮爭的同時,千萬不可太馬虎了自己——這肯定也是路遙的遺訓。(陳忠實)
張賢亮追憶路遙:未死已知萬事空(寫於路遙逝世十五周年時)
有的作傢因作品而知名,作品婦孺皆知,口口相傳,可是問起這部作品的作傢是誰卻不一定都知道;有的作傢名字響亮,好像人人都聽說過有這麽一個人,但問起他有什麽膾炙人口的作品卻抓耳搔腮,頗費思量。我以為路遙和陝西作傢群似乎都屬於前一類作傢。平時不事張揚,不怎麽熱衷社會活動,電視上的出鏡率低甚至拒絶出鏡,又不愛發表高論,這是我們西北“老土”的特點之一。
我衹見過路遙一面,那已是20多年前80年代初期的事了。那時各地作傢協會和文學刊物的經濟情況還不緊張,現在已星散零落、被人鄙視得一錢不值的“文壇”還經常舉辦“筆會”。無非是由哪傢文學雜志或者哪個省區的作協出面邀請一幫外地作傢來本地聚集一次。大傢都有一種解放感,無話不談,氣氛活躍。聚會中少不了吃吃喝喝、遊山玩水。今天想起來,中國首開“公款吃喝”的應該是中國作傢,中國作傢是“公款消費”的始作俑者,罪莫大焉!也難怪今天的年輕作傢特別是 “80後”的一代,對我們這些老一輩的作傢瞧不到眼裏,氣不順。我們玩鬧的時候他們還穿着開襠褲撒尿和泥玩哩,今天也該輪着他們風光風光了。
我是在由陝西作協在西安舉辦的筆會上認識路遙的。可是路遙好像出席不多,出席時也是一臉愁雲,很少說話。西安筆會還安排我在“人民劇院”講了一次 “創作談”。前不久,我又到西安出席“麯江電影新人新作推薦展”,和著名導演謝飛一起給電影新作頒奬,地點正是“人民劇院”。一進大門,我就不禁想起20多年前那次開講“創作談”的聚會。那時樓上樓下連通道都擠滿了聽衆,人人洗耳恭聽。今天,我看任何一個作傢來講“創作談”也不會再有那麽多人來浪費時間了。我一人在臺上舞之蹈之高談闊論後,陝西作協請我吃飯,路遙也在座,仍然很少說話。但吃完了飯他非常誠懇地要我到他傢坐一坐,說是他傢離飯店不遠。我記得他傢就在陝西作協院內的宿舍樓裏,連建築面積也就 70多平方米的樣子。當年人人傢裏的陳設都很簡單,而路遙的傢更是簡單得近乎簡陋。在他傢裏,和他坐在一起就和在農村炕頭上盤腿而坐沒有區別,西安這座城市立即消失了。坐下後他給我衝了杯茶,用一個烏蒙蒙的玻璃杯。我突然發現好像整個房間都和茶杯一樣烏蒙蒙的,連他整個人都籠罩在一片蒙蒙的霧中。當時在座的還有王愚,我記得從他傢出來走到街上我對王愚說,你們陝西作傢大概是中國作傢中最不會生活的一群了。王愚跟我笑着說:對了!賈平凹剛買了個電冰箱,冰箱裏放的衹是辣面子和醋。那時陳忠實還沒有像今天這樣經常被人談起,後來纔知道忠實那時常住在鄉下。我們西北作傢和農村有着割不斷的情感與生活方式的聯繫,因而農村永遠是我們的疼痛點。這是我和路遙見的第一面,也是最後一面。
應該提的是他的身後事。路遙英年早逝後不久,我去北京時見到張鍥,張鍥那時正主持中華文學基金會,而我在成立這個基金會中是出過力的,所以還有點發言權。張鍥跟我談起路遙去世後他家庭狀況和他的清貧,據說路遙彌留之際最不放心的是他的女兒。我就想起路遙邀請我到他傢去時那滿臉誠懇的表情。實際上,我和路遙本來沒有多少話可說,即使在他傢也沒說什麽深入的話題,我和路遙是兩類性情的人。路遙要表示他的客氣,在飯桌上已經表示過了,用不着再邀我到他傢去枯坐片刻。我想,冥冥中這是不是路遙要給我托付什麽呢?對路遙的身後事,我一定要做些什麽纔對。我力主把路遙的女兒安頓好,最好是接到北京來上學。我跟張鍥說,中華文學基金會要做事,首先要從這件事上做起。而應該說張鍥和他妻子小魯比我還熱心,在他們積極操辦下,路遙的女兒很順利地到通縣的學校上學了,並且還經常到張鍥傢度假,把張鍥傢當成自己的傢了。
現在孩子應該很大了,算起來大約應該有了孩子也就是路遙的孫子了。路遙著作等身,在中國文學史上占着重要的一章,但他一生辛苦,不懂物質享受,大概沒有過過一天快活的日子。不知怎麽,我一想到他,就想把陸遊“死去原知萬事空”的詩句改成“未死已知萬事空”。(張賢亮)
路遙路遙的作品《平凡的世界》
在《平凡的世界》創作隨筆 《早晨從中午開始》中他寫到: “人,不僅要戰勝失敗,而且還要超越勝利。”於是有了為世人所驚嘆的百萬字長篇巨著—— 《平凡的世界》 !
形象的喻指自己的主人公他熱切地嚮往着新的廣阔天地,他不甘心一輩子被土地牽住,他用他全部的勇氣,想要掙斷那副無形的枷鎖,可是人生的殘酷現實卻一刻也不放鬆的鉗住了他夢想的翅膀,他又不得不低頭與那個封閉而又沉滯的大環境。他被喜悅的眩暈迷失了奮鬥的方向,最後,像衹蒼蠅一樣轉了一圈,又回到了土地上。
孫少平,一個平凡的世界裏平凡的人,他求知若渴,卻苦於貧睏的傢境,為人師、打小工、做傢工,生活漂泊不定……他,選擇了一條最為艱難的道路進行人生的頑強拼搏,他在改變自己生存條件的同時又在追求着一種更高的生活意義,他的奮鬥,他的追求,給平凡註釋了另外一種含義! 猶如與他靈魂的對話,這篇自傳性的文章,使我知道了他的生活是怎樣的艱辛,是怎樣的清貧,同時又是怎樣的高貴!巴爾紮剋曾經說過:“不幸是一所最好的大學。”在這所大學裏,老巴靠藉債完成了《人間戲劇》同樣,路遙也從這所大學裏完成了《人生》和《平凡的世界》 ,看這兩部作品的名字,能是生活在富裕的象牙塔裏的作傢寫出來的嗎?他們不僅擁有另一種時間,更擁有另一種人生,這種對苦難與孤獨的深深體驗,正是他們另一種財富,這財富使他們熱愛生命甚於熱愛自我,熱愛風景甚於熱愛自己的眼睛,這是一種深刻的平凡。
“生命從苦難開始,衹有在苦難中才能誕生靈魂的歌聲。”我終於讀懂了路遙這句名言的內涵,我也終於讀懂了平凡而又有傲骨的路遙。
路遙把作品寫進幾代人心裏
中國社會科學院文學研究所原副所長、著名文學評論傢何西來說,陝西作傢以柳青、路遙和陳忠實等形成了一個現實主義流派。路遙的作品是靠苦難來涵養,苦難給了他堅強的性格,充實了他創作的內容。路遙不僅僅是一個作傢,更是一個思想者,一個崇高的殉職者,他把作品寫入了幾代人的心裏。
陝西省作傢協會黨組書記雷濤說,路遙的名字連同他的作品,沒有因為歲月的久遠而失去光彩,恰恰相反,這種光彩隨着時間的推移,而愈加顯得透亮和耀眼,路遙依然活在千千萬萬個熱愛他的讀者的心中。路遙的作品是新時期中國文學一個重要推進階段所達到的具有典型意義的新高。
中國社會科學院文學研究所研究員、青年評論傢李建軍說,路遙的作品表現出一種人性的光耀、人格的偉大和積極的人生態度,這是偉大作品的共性,也是比當下以個人情結和生活碎片為題材的作品具有生命力的原因。
路遙的作品表現真、情、美
中央人民廣播電臺主任編輯葉詠梅( 《平凡的世界》廣播劇編輯)說,路遙的作品表現着真、情、美三個特點。當時, 《平凡的世界》廣播劇先後播出3次,直接聽衆超過3億人。在中央人民廣播電臺播出的60部來自古今中外名著改編的廣播劇中,《平凡的世界》排名第八。
日本路遙研究專傢、姬路獨協大學教授安本實認為,路遙是中國最早對中國城鄉二元社會結構進行描寫的作傢,他的作品是逼近人性本質的,達到了世界文學水平的高度。
陝西師範大學趙學勇教授認為,路遙的作品經受了兩個時代(計劃經濟時代、市場經濟時代)的考驗,他是真正思考中國問題的作傢。學術界的冷清與讀者的熱捧形成了獨特的路遙現象,應當引起註意。
山東濟寧學院教授宗元認為,路遙作品秉承一種民間的原始正義,他不自覺地站在民間立場,這正是他作品受到讀者喜愛的一個重要原因。
北京語言大學教授鄭萬鵬說,同為“現代史詩”, 《平凡的世界》比《安娜卡列尼娜》少了一層憂慮,多了一層喜悅。 《平凡的世界》主人公們,體現着路遙的現代人格理想,即在完成自我意識覺醒的基礎上,完成對他人的責任,以實現更高意義上的社會和諧,倫理和諧。路遙以“現實的人文主義”與“新時期”以來富於人文精神的思潮一道,成為中國當代人文主義復興的徵兆。
相對於路遙生前和身故暴得大名的王小波來說, 路遙算是一位身後比較寂寞的作傢。因此,在路遙離開塵世11年之際,一位學者突然從大衆日報讀到韓石山先生的文章《我看路遙之死》 ,不免感到驚奇.然而,讀完之後,這位學者便衹有"驚異"了。
路遙韓石山先生
這位學者是一位文學圈外人士,但自信文學作品的閱讀面不遜於大多數的作傢.路遙的作品,印行於文集裏的,這位學者都看過。他的《人生》及改編的電影,在當時的一代大學生中掀起的那份狂熱,至今也還記得。路遙是位讓人敬重的有影響力的作傢。文學或許是有所謂時尚的,但文學的品格和作傢的生命力,卻在於超越時尚。時間不是文學的死敵,它是文學屹立的見證和活着的信物。
韓先生的核心觀點,認為路遙以死拼得一部獲茅盾文學奬的作品,太不值得;路遙之死的深層次原因,是對史詩式偉大作品的追求,鼓吹此種觀點的文學評論傢們是路遙早死的客觀上的無形殺手.一言以蔽之,路遙及有關評論傢不懂得文學,文學應該是輕鬆的,而不是沉重的. 路遙"光給自己的母親和妻子買兩件新衣裳還不夠,還要親手織一件能籠住天下的母親和妻子的華麗的衣衫.於是這苦命的農村孩子便衹能一步一步地走近自己的終結."
這位學者不曾有韓先生的幸運,與路遙生前無緣相識,但讀其書,想見其為人,《早晨從中午開始》還是認真讀過的.這是路遙寫作《平凡的世界》一書的忠實記錄,也是他文學求索歷程的全文本寫照.老實說,其中已經透露出濃重的死亡氣息.路遙在創作中對生命的過度透支,他的糟糕的生活方式,他的缺乏關愛的家庭生活,讓每一個關註他的人着實捏着一把汗.我也如韓先生的內子一樣,忘不了那個細節:路遙寫完《平凡的世界》最後一個字,打開窗子,把圓珠筆扔了出去.他心裏還念着托夫曼的一句話——衹要完成了,就是好的!
平心而論,韓先生認為路遙是活活纍死的,這觀點是不錯的;對路遙之死,他也不無"惋惜"之情.但讓人無法苟同的是,他輕輕一筆,用"不值"抹殺了路遙一生對於文學的全部追求和夢想.這就不僅是"不厚道"(韓先生自云),而且失之野蠻和霸道了.
其實,韓先生文章的主旨並非在於紀念路遙,而是藉路遙之死,提醒文壇衆生,不要蹈襲路遙前轍.他是在倡導一種"輕鬆,健康" 的寫作方式,輕鬆地寫作,輕鬆地掙大錢,讓自己和傢人過上幸福的生活.那麽,韓先生苦心孤詣用"輕鬆論"統一作傢們的認識和追求,有此必要嗎?
稍有文學史常識的人都知道,由於個人稟賦不同,人生價值觀有異,除文革那樣的特殊時代,文學家的創作追求和風格嚮來是多元的.有唐一代,李白之飄逸,王維之高蹈而外,照樣有郊寒島瘦,李賀嘔心瀝血,杜子美之沉鬱蒼涼;南宋偏安,淺斟低唱,鶯歌燕舞是主流,但辛棄疾,陳亮之徒,卻北望中原,慷慨悲歌,把欄桿拍遍.如此等等,個性使然,豈是強求得來?
近世如魯迅,活得纍,寫得也纍,年不屆花甲而歿,說其是纍死的,也無不可,但魯迅若沒有了魯迅的追求,還是否稱其為魯迅?說到底,人一生的值與不值,是一件極其個人的事,外人之臧否,並無實質性的意義.讓魯迅不做魯迅,去成為周作人或林語堂或梁實秋, 與癡人說夢有何異乎?放眼人世間,固然有纍死的人,玩死的,閑死的也不在少數.

《平凡的世界》長銷不衰 路遙不為人知的艱辛
謎團:種種疑團嚮我們襲來
在上世紀八九十年代,路遙是中國最有影響的作傢之一,他的作品影響了整整兩代人,他的《平凡的世界》長銷不衰,人們無法理解,在路遙去世之後,他的傢人為什麽陷入如此的絶境?路遙為傢人留下多少遺産?這些遺産又去嚮何方?本報記者輾轉陝西榆林、清澗、延安、西安等地,對此展開了調查。
1992年11月王衛國(路遙)患肝硬化腹水去世
1996年路遙弟弟王衛軍患肝硬化腹水去世
2007年4月路遙弟弟王天樂患肝硬化腹水去世
2007年5月弟弟王天笑患肝硬化並出現輕度腹水
2007年7月17日路遙父親在癱瘓半年之後去世
目前路遙的母親、弟弟王天雲、妹妹王英、王萍也患有與路遙同樣的肝病
無論是在榆林、清澗,或者延安、西安,記者都能感覺到陝西文人對路遙創造的精神財富的肯定,在很多文學刊物中,路遙的名字依然放在陳忠實和賈平凹之前,路遙出生地清澗縣還在路遙親父母的窯洞前立下“路遙故裏”的大碑,提醒每一個路過的人,這裏曾是一位偉大作傢童年生活過的地方。
這些評價在路遙傢人睏難的生活面前,顯得虛無而無助,在大傢對路遙一片贊揚聲之中,離路遙最近的親人卻少人關註。路遙的養母李桂英於2004年2月去世,在她去世前的2003年6月,延川縣决定給李桂英每月補助150餘元,當地報紙當時的報道是:半癱在炕頭的老人激動地說:“我真是感激不盡,衛國(路遙)地下有知,也能含笑九泉了。”李桂英獲得的 150元補助對路遙親父母而言仍是奢望,這兩位生活在清澗鄉下的老人一個癱瘓在床,一個有病在身,生活自理已成問題。如今,在陝西日報當記者的兒子王天樂剛剛因病去世,在榆林的小兒子王天笑重病在身自顧不暇。
誰來照顧他們?從榆林到西安,沒有人給出答案。將路遙帶上文學之路的曹𠔌溪說: “我們是有心無力。”路遙的好朋友高建群被記者追問這個問題時數次沉默,他最後說:“你可以憑你的感覺去判斷。”陝西作協黨組書記雷濤說:“我們關註的是路遙的直係親屬,比如他的父母(養父母)和妻女,如果是其他親屬,我們就不好拿這個嚮政府匯報。”
還有一個奇怪的現象是,路遙弟弟、父母的睏難都不願意告訴在北京一傢廣告公司上班的路遙女兒,甚至當路遙女兒從記者口中瞭解到父親傢裏睏境表示要 “盡力去管”的時候,卻遭到了王天笑的拒絶。而關於路遙當年的婚姻,路遙周圍的人都知道路遙和林達婚姻出現了嚴重問題,但15 年過去了,知情人對此仍三緘其口。當我們思考怎麽幫助路遙傢人的時候,關於路遙的種種疑團也嚮我們襲來。
實際上,在惠建寧發佈倡議書後,有網友跟貼捐款,但也有網友對此發出質疑:路遙這麽有名氣,他的書賣了這麽多年,作為他的弟弟,難道還會缺錢看病麽?記者在采訪中發現,路遙生前雖然創作了《人生》 《平凡的世界》等經典作品,但他去世後衹留下1萬元的存折和近萬元的欠賬。為了賺錢,他還炒過股,甚至開價5000元給企業寫報告文學。而路遙的作品版權現在屬於路遙女兒路茗茗,因為以前缺少版權知識,作品並非按版稅而是稿費計算,收入也極為有限。
路遙女兒
幫助——傢人不接受
2003年元旦,林達與路茗茗簽訂了一份《遺産繼承協議書》 ,雙方就路遙生前所有作品著作權的繼承事宜達成協議,由路茗茗全部繼承路遙作品的權利。此後,路遙的作品也由稿費改變為版稅,人民文學出版社2004年獲得授權出版《平凡的世界》 ,該社發行部主任李春凱告訴記者,這幾年路遙作品銷售約有27萬册。儘管他沒有透露支付版稅數額,但可以肯定,版稅收入將大大超過稿費收入。
路遙作品版權擁有者路茗茗會幫助自己的叔叔和爺爺奶奶嗎?記者致電路茗茗,當把情況告訴她時,她顯得很吃驚,“五叔(王天笑)得病的事情我是去年知道的,當時我就想盡自己能力幫助他,但天樂叔叔說陝北的事情他來負責,叫我別管,我還不知道今年五叔到西安治病的事情。”路茗茗表示,她不會對叔叔、爺爺奶奶不管,她會立即和五叔聯繫,瞭解詳細情況,並計劃近期回陝北一趟。但在7月13日,記者到北京欲面對面采訪路茗茗時卻被婉拒。
就在記者給路茗茗電話聯繫之後,王天笑也給記者打來電話,他認為記者不應該將此事情告訴路茗茗,“茗茗對我很好了,去年夏天還陪我到成都附近一個的地方看中醫,茗茗在北京有自己的事情,我不想因為這件事情傷害到她。”記者問他路茗茗幫助父親的兄弟有什麽不可以,王天笑堅持說:“我是長輩,茗茗是晚輩,我不能用晚輩的錢,(如果那是路遙的版稅收入呢?)那也不行,如果哥哥在,我會接受,哥哥不在,這個錢就是茗茗的錢,大城市的開支是很大的,我不能收。”

十五載持續熱讀,路遙過時了嗎?
路遙以樸實語言鑄造俗事的人生,以平凡的敘事鍛造出高尚的精神世界。15年後,高加林、孫少平、孫少安……依然是能讓年輕一代讀者心頭一熱的名字。
在近年某傢青年報的一項調查中, 《人生》 《平凡的世界》被選為影響當代大學生最大的小說前三名。15年來, 《平凡的世界》長銷不衰, 《人生》魅力不減,路遙死後留下了不朽的精神財富:從陝西走出的年輕作傢到地産商潘石屹,再到千千萬萬從底層奮鬥上來的年輕人,無不因路遙的小說而熱淚盈眶。
然而路遙身後的15年裏,文學評論界對路遙文學成就的評價並非全盤褒揚。有人將路遙的小說比為《鋼鐵是怎樣煉成的》之中國版,將其視作勵志讀物:有人將路遙與瀋從文、孫犁等鄉土作傢對比發現,不僅專門研究路遙的學者著述不多,就連很多大學裏的現當代文學課堂上也將路遙一筆帶過;更有人幹脆將路遙歸為一位文學觀念滯後、創作方法陳舊的“落伍”作傢。
其實,路遙生前就已註意到諸如此類的詬病,他對此有過深刻地思考。路遙認為,對比十九世紀俄國和法國的現實主義文學的偉大程度,中國的現實主義創作還遠未成熟。在這樣的前提下,一味模仿新文學流派和“洋東西”,生吞活剝的引進註定沒有前途。因此路遙態度决絶地堅持自己的平實風格,他曾經頗為激動地表態:“每個人都有自己的語言風格,……如果我的作品中哪怕出現一行某某某那樣的文字,我都要堅决地把它劃掉。”
路遙身後的15年,面對超現實主義、魔幻現實主義等風格的新鄉土文學屢出不窮,有人發問:路遙過時了嗎?對此,文學評論傢李建軍認為,正是在“先鋒文學”的狂風橫掃一切的時候,我們看見了路遙,他堅定地站在自己的位置上,形單影衹,沒有被來勢洶涌的浪潮“裹挾而去”,由此獲得了真正的成功。
深刻的“苦難”標簽,堅守還是摒棄?
路遙生於苦難,在苦難中用文學煉成靈魂之歌,但他一生的命運沒能改變貧窮的主題:生前,他獲得“茅盾文學奬”時去北京領奬的路費是藉的;死後,他為患有傢族遺傳病的傢人、年邁體衰的老母親、百般牽挂的妻女,衹留下了一個1萬元的存折和近1萬元的債單。
為紀念路遙逝世15周年,《陝西日報》連續報道了路遙傢人患肝硬化重病纏身,卻因經濟拮据使治療陷入睏境的消息,引發了社會各界對路遙傢人的關註,賈平凹等人帶頭為路遙傢人捐款。與此同時,路遙身後,一批堅守清貧的作傢開始浮現於人們眼前:殘疾作傢賀緒林在幾乎沒有經濟來源的情況下,臥床寫作30年;另外一批“陝北流浪作傢” 或貧睏、或遊走、或沉寂不知去嚮……
聯繫2006年的瀋陽作傢洪峰乞討事件,路遙逝世15周年之際,令人們想到“文人固窮”這句老話,一個老問題被重新提起:文學不該是清貧的事業嗎?與此形成鮮明比對的是,新世紀文壇的種種浮躁之氣:作傢經商熱、“觸電”熱、改編熱的風潮之下,巨製佳作鮮見,一些作傢不知不覺賺到盆滿鉢滿,千萬元身價作傢涌現,文學也面臨着淪為惡俗的危險,作傢似乎已變成與名利緊密挂鈎的職業。
路遙身後的15年,有人不禁提出了這樣的假想:當初對文學有着宗教般虔誠態度的路遙如果活在當下,會是怎樣?曾任《長安》 雜志 主編的作傢子頁給出了這樣一個答案: “假如路遙活着,他一定去旅行。”
對於路遙式的清貧,該堅持還是摒棄?這樣的問題在陝西作傢圈內展開疾聲呼籲。著名作傢、陝西省文聯副主席陳彥認為,目前作傢所面臨的最大睏境,是物欲世界對作傢精神世界的圍追堵截,如果自身站立不穩,既渴慕着精神的不朽,又瞻前顧後地尋覓着與市場的短兵相接,那麽最終容易把作品搞得非驢非馬。
對於一些作傢也應該學會面對市場的觀點。青年作傢黃海的觀點頗為尖銳,他認為,作傢在創作中面臨的睏境遠比生活中面臨的睏境要大,它是生活所不能剋服的,它越來越多地受到多方面因素的製約,比如文化、體製、經濟等。作傢創作的任務不是去剋服這些問題,更不是去解决這些問題,恰恰相反,它是讓作傢把這些生活中面臨的睏境和焦慮帶進思想的迷宮。“卡夫卡、博爾赫斯、福剋納他們剋服自己寫作中的睏境了嗎?很顯然,他們的作品告訴了我們答案——他們沒有。為什麽我們中國式作傢的作品總是要剋服自己所遭遇的睏境呢?這是個偽命題。”
年輕作傢轉嚮都市寫作,路遙遭後輩背離?
在路遙的創作感悟裏,有過這樣一段自白:“我在稿紙上的勞動同父親在土地上的勞動本質上是一致的。由此,這勞動就是平凡的勞動,而不應該有什麽了不起的感覺;由此你寫平凡的世界,你也就是這平凡世界中的一員,而不是高人一等……”
在路遙的創作視野裏,有過這樣一個判斷:“我國不幸的農村問題是歷史形成的……毫無疑問,廣大的落後農村是中國邁嚮未來的沉重負擔。”
時至今日,魯迅文學院副院長白描回憶起當年的這位老友,掩不住唏噓:“我還記得許多年以前,路遙跟我兩人赤腳走到了西安最繁華的地區——鐘樓。走到鐘樓時,路遙的情緒突然沒有了。他想起了陝北那些受苦的老百姓,情緒完全敗壞了。無論走到大城市的哪個繁華的地段,路遙都忘不了在受苦的老百姓。”
源自對鄉土、對農民深切的愛,路遙甘用生命最後的年華,鑽煤礦、下農村、居陋室,撰寫出一部沉甸甸的、反映1975-1985十年間中國城鄉廣泛變化的長篇巨製《平凡的世界》 。路遙的墓碑上,深情地刻着兩行金色的大字——“像牛一樣勞動,像土地一樣奉獻”。
路遙身後的15年,“美女作傢”、“身體寫作”、“低齡寫作軍團”等商業化寫作屢現,一嚮素以樸實的現實主義寫作風格為特色的陝西作傢群體也開始出現了“面臨斷代”的自省式疾呼。眼下,更多70、80後陝西作傢開始遠離鄉土,描摹私人、描摹都市,這令一直守望、關註陝西文學的不少人大呼失望:難道從第一代柳青到第二代的路遙、賈平凹、陳忠實,陝西作傢所開拓的深沉生活體驗、廣袤文學格局、超拔文學人格,即將走到終結?
對此,陝西作傢李星認為,隨着社會群體的利益分化,人們的價值觀也多元化了,面對這些在中國歷史上是從未有過的現象,陝西作傢不能衹是埋頭寫悲慘的生活、寫苦難。“農民的生活方式、生存方式,已經完全不是過去那種了,勞資關係變化了,比如保姆現在很難雇到了,反映出勞動成本上升,這也是全球化帶給中國最底層勞動者的影響,這些,我們作傢不能不看到!”
對此,白燁認為,現在文學創作環境已大不一樣了,幹擾作傢的因素很多,第三代陝西作傢基本上沒有出現特別有代表性的作傢,這也是中國文壇當下的普遍問題。“這其實不是一個文學問題,而是時代問題。”

Birth and Death: 1949 ~ 1992
Description: The untimely death of the great writers, idealists. His major works include "Life," "Ordinary World" "Good morning, starting from noon," and so on, its epic influenced a whole generation.
Birthplace: Shaanxi Qingjian
Personal Overview
Lu Yao's Creation for the "Morning from noon" is let us through his works to enter into his inner world, from which we can see his dedication and creative literature difficult time, "every word seems to all be blood Unusual Decade ", is such that we have seen the flowers and applause after the hard way.
Yao uncommon life of the brilliant cast structure of the world, his entire income of the five volumes of the works of "Yao corpus."
Yao's young age
Millions of words have been written lengthy literary work, the ideal life for us praise the cry of the writer Lu Yao, who has been gently away 7 years, although a long time, we do not want to believe it.
The Yellow Earth gave birth to the writer, seems to turn into a handful of loess, falling in the mountains on top of each block, but also seems to turn into a plume of smoke, filled in every hole cave in and give us the living, leaving unlimited thoughts and wealth.
The winter of 1949, a county in northern Shaanxi Qingjian remote barren ditch, was born a boy, a man illiterate peasant father, never did not expect his son would become a famous writer shocked the literary world in China.
When Yao was born to this world, he's family and social life of the living environment, and did not give him the same as showing a bright rose color. His family is very poor, 10 years I have only one quilt, lack of food, and want, more and more children have become a major burden for the family.
Yao childhood, in particular, smart and sensible. His mother said: "My childhood is a fine Yao is a mind Lee (Qingjian dialect, that is, smart brain), has never let me anxious over his stomach. His seven-year-old will be chopped wood, and he cut wood batches bundle bundle, pile on the alkaline side, the United States and the United States under the pile of a pile, Chun may not want to burn people. "
Lu Yao Wang Jiabao to complete a grade, this poor family can not earn a living anymore, and therefore, the parents decided to their first son Yao, Barry had one of his far outside - Guo Yanchuan County Wangjiagou brother.
It was an autumn morning, my father swept away Lu Yao Wang Jiabao, Jiulishan turned over, along the show went Yanhe to his uncle house. Go places in the night Qingjian County, no money to eat, my father had to stick to him with Maize fill their stomachs. The next day dawn, the father only a dime for him to buy a bowl of Camellia, then, to hurry. Hundred miles away, on the whole, Yao be wearing a pair of broken shoes, walked destination, he broke his clothes, foot wear also played a lot of Xuepao. Yao was only 8 years old.
The next morning, my father as an excuse to go to country fair. Yao village, an old acacia trees to hide behind, and watching tears trickle trickle father, step on a hazy morning mist, clamped a burden, like a thief quietly away. In this way, Yao and the other is the home of a 5-year, very few parents came to visit, nor ability to care for him. Walked home from Qingjian Wangjiagou Yanchuan Guo, Yao is the bitterness of life journey, he and the people generally do not want to talk about.
1987, a moon of the night, Yao Zhu told his friends talk about cooperation in this matter. He said he has little to adulthood Qingjian County, because that place was "the land of my cry."
Since then, Yao and his parents to live in click away.
Love, simple adoptive mother, as the yellow earth horse mushroom Ru, lonely bright flowers to open. She and her husband, as son of the Yao, as he ate tube, pipe he was wearing, what by him.
Sometimes parents are unable to supply rations, Yao went to the wilderness on the ground are often alone, in the harvest over the land, to find residual fill their stomachs under the corn.
In the simple and honest support of good parents, Yao spent his student days. Yao's adoptive father is a farmer, no children, the family is also very poor, barely on the village primary school for Yao. At that time, Yao often can not afford a few cents to buy a pencil and grief half a day.
Primary school, Lu Yao fear of an art class. No Dowling, no watercolor paints, and even the large 12-color lumps finger could not afford color - each piece must be a dime. His wit's end, had to sit foolishly, sad to see the students color, painting, or an excuse to leave the classroom, less than a class and not come back.
Primary school, Lu Yao's observation is quite strong. He has looks, according to their characteristics, body height, pronunciation habits, family background characteristics, each student sent to the class of a very funny they appropriate the "nickname."
Yao Sheng junior high school, because life force, foster father to not let him take the test. Yao knew that for his adoptive father is unable to attend school. But Yao stubborn by nature, is the tears have to prove that line! At that time, more than 1,000 candidates, county schools enrolled only 100 people. The results, Lu Yao's first competition in the life of victory.
However, there is no money at home, half a month later, Yao did not go to registration, until Dongnuexijie to raise money to enrollment, the school is not collected as required. Yao County, crying, being open to find the village Party branch secretary of the Congress. Kind led him to the county party secretary, the Secretary, the principal, and finally opened a brief meeting Culture and Education Bureau, only accept the poor students.
Junior high school for three years, is the most exhausted and Lu Yao life tough for some experience. He did not living per month is 56 yuan for meals are unable to pay, sometimes clearing five seven boiled radish can not afford to eat vegetables. At that time, school meals were divided into A, B, C and three levels, Yao C all eat rice: rice porridge, the first black den of wild sauerkraut. All of these, or he has to good students gather together up.
Every Sunday, Yao had returned to the village to participate in labor, crying, cattle farming plots to large fields of crops back, earn work points to a poor family fill the income...... so, he was the village's praise, often supported by the labor certificate.
Small Yao, not only regarding the content around a material, but also the outside world there is a clear spring-like desert eager longing.
Would like to know the outside, there was no other way, and only read a variety of books. Thus, Yao on all kinds of books had a strong interest in reading hungrily poured out.
Textbooks, Yao see a few times on the stop, but special love one night a night to boil the oil to light lamps extracurricular reading the book, this may be his usual general grades, higher test scores, but a cause it.
Before the age of 17, Yao has never produced even the canton, but he has to know a lot of things the outside world. Yao fantasy that one day write a book, put their ideas frankly tell more people, making him, a desire to write, so Yao in the primary and secondary schools, each composition was written very seriously.
The secondary sector, Yao literature produced on the interest. At that time, he almost greedily reading "How the Steel Was Tempered" "Young Guard", "destruction", "iron flow" and other books, not only for the creation, the main thing is trying themselves into a strong-willed people.
In Yao's high school, give him to help the largest and deepest, is his troupe Renchang You Run a teacher.
Chang Yao's compositions from the teacher, to see he is a promising literary seedlings began to consciously let him develop this talent. As long as the written text of what the class needs teachers often try to let Yao go.
Once, at a reading class, reading the contents of the poems, prose and drama pieces. To put this event a resounding success, and to exercise Yao, Yao often let the teacher write the evening with a series of literary language words. Party, the beautiful words and wonderful reading series, won the students their rounds of applause.
Regular teachers themselves be saved by the many art books given to Yao, the "How the Steel Was Tempered" "day and night" "Red Flag" "Pioneering" "Dream of Red Mansions", "Three Kingdoms" and other foreign masterpiece.
Often the teacher to their wealth, are quite selflessly handed the talented poor students, is expected Yao future talent.
Therefore, even if the talent was famous, Yao regarded the teachers as lifelong friends, often to the regular teacher's home to visit, thank a teacher cultivation of grace.
In 1966, Yao After graduating from high school, back to village to teach, and later transferred to the county Backstage out list.
The experience of hunger and suffering of life, to Lu Yao left a very strong impression, but also prompted him to pick up his good pen, to reflect the sadness or pain of all. Yao in the "difficult days" and "Ordinary World" written inside, and all have their own bitter shadow.
Fate did not bring food and clothing to the Yao and noble, made him a profound understanding of life and the pain and fatigue. As his "Ordinary World" written inside: "We came from poor peasant family - never to despise our origin, it gives us the benefits of the life ever been."
As he read much, pen another agile, coupled with the Shaanxi Folk Art in bloom everywhere, the flower, and gave him "the day after tomorrow Replenishing", so Yao's confidence in the more high literature. He "cherry by red" pen name, in the County Museum of mimeographed publication "Cultural Revolution" published "Liu Frontier," "Driving through the Nanjing Bridge," two poems. The two guns fired, it became even more rampant Lu Yao to enter the literary world, and sometimes reached the point of sleepless nights.
Yao kept writing ah was only in 1972, the year he first created more than 50 poems, including six published in the press. His popularity is rising.
Meanwhile, Yao River Valley with Cao, Baijun Min, Tao is with such literature Concert, organized literary world belongs to them that piece of tabloid "Expectation." Since they write, write, print, hard to publish the "Expectation" this is full of earthy eight open tabloid.
In turn, "Expectation" is also its seductive charm, good faith, among them changing everyone. On Yao, it seems important watershed. As Yao in the "Expectation" to commemorate the tenth anniversary of founder said: "Art, with its great charm to change one's life path. I am deeply grateful to my dear," Mountain Flower ", and it is this."
In 1973, 23-year-old Yao step in a tortuous been recommended to the Department of Chinese, Yanan University, began 寒窗 studying hard life. He was hungry and greedily sucking in the literary world and the thicket of flowers, his life journey into a new inn.

"Ordinary World, brilliant life." Yao phrase carved in stone tomb of a party's eulogy, a very appropriate interpretation of the distance tests a short but brilliant life of literature. 17, the morning of publication, "Yao Collected Works", the head of the Huaxia Publishing House, Shaanxi Province Writers Association concerned, came from Japan came to the Yao of hundreds of experts who attended a university in Yan'an Yao ceremony held at the tomb.
Previously, Shaanxi Province, writers, critics and scholars held a rally at the Shaanxi Normal University, cherish the memory of Lu Yao. Well-known writer Jia, Gao Li Xing and other groups and commentators, and Yao's family and friends, and nearly a thousand students and teachers in Shaanxi Normal University, memories and comments of Yao's literary career. Shaanxi Provincial Writers Association Vice-Chairman Xiao Lei write a 60,000 word nonfiction "Men and tears," stroke with full of emotions, a real reduction of Yao. Once said that "the last Hun" and famous writer Gao group before the tears flow without language, reading aloud the "Fu Yao Mountains" fragment, so many people shed tears at the venue.
80s of last century, Lu Yao to describe Loess Plateau of northern Shaanxi were heavy destiny novel "Life" and "Ordinary World," received a tremendous response across the country, which was Mao Dun Literature Award. In 1992, when he was 42, Yao overwork, in Xi'an, never put down the pen.

Chinese Writers Association, letter to the congress calls on Yao's personality to a very high literary quality and evaluation.
Yao Yao Literature Museum was inaugurated
November 17, 2007 morning, a commemoration of our country, "Mao Dun Literature Award" winner, the late famous writer Lu Yao contemporary literary memorial was established. Yao Literature Museum is located at the University of Yan'an cave complex in a row, back by buried Wenhui Lu Yao mountain cave facing the square, covers about 180 square meters, the Museum were from the contemporary literature we Mr. Wang Meng wrote. Culture and Health Committee of the CPPCC, vice director Wang Jucai, vice chairman of Chinese Writers Association, Chen Zhongshi as the Museum unveiled.
In the eighties and nineties of last century, Yao is one of the most influential writers of his "Ordinary World" long pins, bad, people can not understand, in Yao's death, his family, so why the fall into hopeless? Same time, people had to admire the spirit of the Yao, his lifetime hardship and death has left us a great spiritual wealth, that is, stick to literature and beliefs.
Although the best-selling works, but money is limited
Yan'an University of Yao's internal journal Studies have documented such a story: Lu Yao forward to visit his friend Zhang Xiaoguang help, Yao said: "I really was too poor to awful, you know so many entrepreneurs can manager can not help me find a director, I write articles for others reportage, earn some money for me. "Zhang Xiaoguang Lu Yao was contacted to help an entrepreneur, this is the only one selling Lu Yao's own name on the article just released, Yao was taken ill.
Wong also told reporters laugh, Yao fame is there, but really did not earn much money, "such as distance tests a million words masterpiece" Ordinary World ", then the royalties to publishers about 30 per thousand words. In advance before publication of a work has more or less, and family expenses and dependent parents, the parent, plus he has to smoke, in fact, did not earn any money. After his death, leaving only 10,000 yuan of book and Near million outstanding loans. "
Speaking of the copyright work, Wong says with a laugh, although Yao intestate, but his wife and daughter is heir apparent, Yao is such a loved daughter, from whatever point of view, they do not want to fight Lu Yao copyright. After inheriting the copyright Lu Yao, Yao's wife Linda is very understanding of the publication, publication of a work led to confusion Lu Yao, a number of publishers over the exclusive period is still in the works of Lu Yao sales, and Some publishing contract with Linda but when not to pay royalties to pay royalties, the agreement is valid for 10 years, remuneration is only 30 yuan per thousand words. In this way, even if re-selling works of Lu Yao, Yao wife and daughter the money is also very limited.
Spiritual heritage of inestimable value

A famous writer, Xiao Lei and Deputy Provincial Writers Association Yao known for years in northern Shaanxi, said Yao lifetime often say, "hit the weight Jinpen in" This phrase can be used to sum Yao, Lu Yao poor behind, leaving the five-volume collected works, The Collected Works like a blue chip stocks, with the sun, moon and progressive, the price index is rising all the time, its value is difficult to estimate the number of beneficiaries, is his 1000 10 million million readers and companion.
Yao - Character Appraisal
Jia: Yao personal and cultural memory of the strange charm of Georgia (written in the fifth anniversary of the death of Lu Yao)
Time really fast, Yao had died fifteen years. 15 years, think of him often.
Think of a mountain in Yanchuan, he pointed to the foot of the county, said: When I wore pieces of broken cotton jacket, but I am too badly here, and you do not! I certainly believe, and heard of some of the things he was young. He threw a stone Shi Jin go to the ditch, ditch bank in a group of birds will be crashing the sky. Writers in the province when the change of mind, a casting vote, he said to me in the toilet: very good on, we want that we two votes more than they! He then pee very high. Think he pulled me to his house to eat noodle pieces, he peeled potatoes is very aggressive, said: I get a long, thou Give us get some more medium-length, do not believe in fighting not Tongguan! Think of his writing back from the Northern people lost a round of lobbying, I asked the writing Zeyang he said: This is back to eating a big hard blanket, a finished manuscript you want to smoke pumping good miles! Think of "Ordinary World" was published some time out, and he gave me: a dog day, a full literature did not know! Think of winning back, and I congratulate him, he said: I guess the stage too serious for? I said: too serious miles? He said: I put them all trampled up! He reminded me several times transferred to provincial Writers Association, and I never go to the change of the time when it is not liking my unit, bumped him in the street to purchase woolen coat, I said want to Writers Association The idea, he said: that the site you want to give Zan Xian hold ah! Think of him by the whole, I see him, he said: down to the whole people do not give birth to my miles! I live in the hospital sick, he came to see me with some smoke, said: The take a break, you write so much, also do not live and let live?! Think of his sturdy frame. Think of him sitting in the courtyard of the province Writers broken wicker chair nap look. I think he was sick to see him, he said: Well, this ward? Provincial Standing Committee opened will allow me to live in.. Think of him dying, I went to the hospital to see him, he said: When he left the hospital, you and I go to the northern Shaanxi, find a mountain Geliu Lao Mountain stay here on, we support one side while the sheep body.
He is an excellent writer, he is a good politician, he is a magnificent person. But he is Kuafu, down the road in thirst.
Although he died, his work continues to hammer the reader read, his story still be remembered.
Shaanxi writers often get together, inevitably hair feeling: I do not know if Yao is still alive What is it like now? This is anybody's guess. But certainly he would write more and better work, he will do many things people admire it to whom tip the scales.
He is a strong man. Strong man who has his office than the average person's good, there is generally incomprehensible Department. He atmosphere, too overbearing, he was happy liberated, but also force the ruthless, he respected you let your fear, his concern for others, but to conceal his illness, his strong ego can not tolerate the laggard, but their love for sentimental heart lonely.
Shaanxi draw people that think of themselves as Shi Lu, I heard one student said Shi Lu: He considered what, not to mention the Shi Lu's strengths, his weaknesses are even Shi Lu can not learn!
Yao is a big ambition, literary life may not be his first choice, but what would dry into his literature on like fire burning out of burning and a shining flame.
Now, we rarely see such a person.
Some people say that Yao is exhausted, the evidence that he wrote "Good Morning, from noon," the book. But Yao is not exhausted, and his Night is professional practice and is a beast of mettle. Some people say that Yao is the poor die, because he owed one million death was, but that's all the poor Yeah but Yao has been pumping in Shaanxi writer in high-grade tobacco, drink coffee, to give his daughter to eat Western food has traveled the city is.
Kill him is genetic. After his death, his four brothers are suffering from liver cirrhosis with him the same disease, and again almost the same age, had died two and the other two are seriously ill. This is a miserable family! A porcelain cup and a wooden cup made out of a decision in its longevity, but also the fate of this gene, the Yao ephemeral life is glorious, he is a peculiar character and cultural charm of the grid longevity.
In Shaanxi, two people a long time, that is, Shi Lu and Lu. (Jia)
Chen Zhongshi: Yao worthy of feeding his land and people (written in the fifth anniversary of the death of Lu Yao)
We have to accept that, no matter how cruel this fact has still not be well accepted by reason, that is: a bright star from China between the fall of the Sky!
The head of an intelligence exception to terminate a very active also extremely painful and profound thinking.
This is Yao.
He was proud of our literature of a large provincial chief commander, is our group of writers known as Shaanxi's little brother; his sudden leaving the team makes this neat queue position of the emergence of a large vacancy, but also to make this dynamic group show loneliness. When: smaller than his younger brother and older than his brother and more attention to his growing literary predecessors and looked at him suddenly leaving the team to see him off, many of the most unbearable pain factor is material injury of its kind in the instinct of sorrow.
Yao a natural environment from northwest China's worst and most impoverished counties in the village came out to the prosperity of contemporary Chinese literature to create a splendid chapter. This is not just Yao personal triumph. It at least gives us such inspiration, the potential of our nation's duty-bound to keep enterprising spirit and a strong and powerful force of art. Yao has become the vision of the open grand, deep wisdom achieved through radio history and thought, great achievements in the cause of the powerful who have the courage to achieve the ideal of perseverance and stamina arduous, clearly showing that this ancient and excellent of the most excellent quality.
Yao into the evolution of life all concerned about the difficult process of cutting into the attention of the entire nation out of ills rejuvenation rejuvenation of historical transition, and the resulting immense suffering and great joy. Yao does not care individuals fortunate and won or lost, even with his entire childhood, including the difficult journey of hunger. This is a profound writer Lu Yao and the most essential difference between mediocre writers. It is at this point, Yao became independent thinking and artistic character of Yao.
Lu Yao's spiritual world is built by ordinary workers, "Ordinary World", the most contemporary writers, he can fully understand the ordinary people in the world of what it means to China. He is itself the world of the ordinary is not particularly one resulting from Jing-yi, has become the world's people to spiritual enforcement speaker, a collection of his wisdom all the essence of this world, gave him removed from the list of all fetal fishy foul, so that his spirit again and again fission and sublimation. His feelings are not stripped of flesh and blood with emotions. So that we can decipher the novel "Ordinary World" in that profound and inspiring and modern rational true blood true feelings. Yao ordinary people living in the creative form that ordinary world, not only intolerant of the world's past and present, history and the arbitrary interpretation of reality, even a word picture of the hypocritical and never squeamish tolerance. He has deep perception and sober mind, that the interpretation of those arbitrary and hypocritical portrayal of squeamish, but the writers themselves do not sound unhealthy psychological performance, are not part of the ordinary people in the world of. Yao thus received hundreds of millions of ordinary people in this world, respect and worship, to communicate with people of this world and the earth human emotion. This is the thinking of the writer as an independent ability to Lu Yao the hardest to follow.
To Yao's name, we hope to every young or older brothers, and strive to create, for the overall prosperity of the Chinese literature struggling. Only struggling for the same time, do not be too careless to their - Surely, this is Yao's teachings. (Chen Zhongshi)
Liang recall Yao: Acquainted with all things known to empty (written in the fifth anniversary of the death of Lu Yao)
Some writers known for work, work notoriously bad, word of mouth, but the writer asked about this work do not necessarily know who is; some writer's name loudly, as if everyone has heard there is such a person But asked what his popular works are arrested ear scratch cheek, lot of thought. I think Yao and Shaanxi Writers writers seem to belong to the former category. Usually unassuming, not very keen on social activities, television and even refused to rate photographed photographed without express high on love, which is the Northwest, "old fashioned" one of the characteristics.
I was held by the Shaanxi Association of Writers in the Xi'an Lu Yao's pen was recognized. Yao seemed to attend, but not much, is a look of melancholy when present, very few words. Xi'an document also arranged for me in the "People's Theatre," about a "literature." Not long ago, I went to Xi'an to attend "Qujiang new to the film as recommended by the new exhibition", and the famous film director Xie Fei together to award new work place is the "people's theater." On entering the gate, I can not help thinking that 20 years ago, lecturing on "literature" of the party. Then down the stairs with channel packed with the audience, everyone listens. Today, I think any writer in terms of "literature" so many people will no longer have to waste time. I danced on stage for a dance club in the rhetoric, the Shaanxi Writers Association invited me to dinner, Yao was also present, still very few words. But dinner is he is very sincere to me to sit on his house, said his family not far from the hotel. I remember he lives in the dorm courtyard Shaanxi Writers Association, with more than 70 square meters floor area also look like. Time, everyone at home furnishings are simple, but Yao's home is simple, almost primitive. In his home, to join him on and the white picket fence in the rural areas there is no difference between sitting cross-legged on the Xi'an city immediately disappeared. I sat down and rushed him to a cup of tea, with a Wu Mengmeng glass. I suddenly found the whole room seems to have the same Wu Mengmeng and cups, and even his whole people are shrouded in a misty fog. Wang Yu was also present here, I remember the street from his house I walked out, said Wang Yu, Shaanxi writer you the most about is the writer who does not live up. Yu Wang smiled and said to me: right! Jia just bought a refrigerator, the refrigerator and let's just face spicy vinegar. At that time Chen Zhongshi not like this has often been talked about, and then I faithfully then resident in the country. Our writers and the rural North West has an inseparable link emotions and way of life, so in rural areas will always be our point of pain. This is my first face and Lu, see also the last time.
Should be mentioned that his funeral. Yao passed away soon after, I went to Beijing to see Zhang Qie, Zhang Qie Chinese Literature Foundation, chaired by then, and I set up this foundation in excessive force is out, so still a little voice. Yao Zhang Qie told me about the death of his family situation and his poor, dying is said Yao least rest assured that his daughter. I think Yao invited me to his house when that face sincere expression. In fact, I and Lu had little left to say, even though his family said nothing in the depth of the topic, I and Lu are two types of temperament of the people. Yao said he should be kind, at the dinner table has been expressed, and no need to re-invited me to his house to sit a while. I think somewhere it is not the Yao to give what I have entrusted to him? On Yao's funeral, I must do what if it. Yao's daughter, I advocated the settled, it is better to Beijing to attend school. I told Zhang Qie said that the China Literature Foundation to do something, we should first start with this issue. But it should be said, and his wife, Zhang Qie Rue enthusiastic than I am, they actively make preparations, the Yao's daughter is very smooth to the school to school in Datong County, and often resort to Zhang Qie home to home as Zhang Qie their own home.
Now the child should be great, and you figure it should have a child that is about Yao's grandson. Yao himself, play an important part in the history of Chinese literature of a chapter, but he had a hard life, but not the material comforts, probably not had a single day to be happy. I do not know how, I think of him, Lu wants to "know everything the original dead air," the poem to "Acquainted with all things known to empty." (Liang)
Lu Yao Lu Yao's works "Ordinary World"
In "Ordinary World" Essay Writing "from noon start the morning", he wrote: "Man, not only to overcome the failure, but also beyond the victory." Surprised people in the world was there for the millions of words long masterpiece - "ordinary of the world! "
The image of the hero of his own metaphor that eagerly yearn for the vast new, he was reconciled to life're holding the land, he used all his courage, like the invisible shackles torn apart by askew, but the harsh reality of life is the moment not relaxed vise wings of his dream, he had to bow and the closed and stagnate in the environment. He was pleased with the direction of vertigo lost struggle, and finally, the same as a fly in a circle, then back to the land.
Sun Shaopins, an ordinary world, ordinary people, he was thirsty for knowledge, they suffer from poor family, and his teacher, played unskilled laborer, doing house work, vagrant life...... he chose a most difficult roads in life indomitable in his condition to change his life while pursuing a kind of higher meaning in life, he struggles to his pursuit of another kind of comments to the ordinary meaning! As if the dialogue with his soul, this autobiographical article, so I know what his life is hard, is how poor, how noble the same time! Balzac once said: "Unfortunately, the University is a best." In this university, the old bus by borrowing to complete the "human drama" Similarly, Yao also from the university to complete a "Life" and "Ordinary World" to see the names of his films, able to live in rich ivory tower writer write it? Not only do they have another time, also has another life, that of the deep suffering and lonely experience, is their other wealth, wealth and even their love lives in self-love, love the picture even in love their eyes, this is a profound ordinary.
"Life from the misery, only to be born in suffering the soul singing." Yao I finally read the famous words of content, I finally read the ordinary and have a proud and the Yao.
Yao works included in the hearts of generations
Former deputy director of the CASS Institute of Literature, the famous literary critic, Jose, the Shaanxi writers Liu Qing, Yao and Chen Zhongshi such as the formation of a realistic genre.

Shaanxi Normal University, Professor Zhao Xueyong that Yao's work has stood the two times (the planned economy era, the market economy era) test, thinking that he is the real problem of China's writers. Academic deserted and favorable for the formation of the reader a unique Yao phenomenon should be noted.
Jining, Shandong University Professor Zong believes that adhering to a civil Lu Yao original works of justice, he did not consciously standing civil position, which is a favorite of his works are an important reason for the reader.
Beijing Language University Zhengwan Peng said, with a "modern epic", "Ordinary World" than "Anna Karenina," a layer of less anxiety, more than a layer of joy. "Ordinary world" hero who embodies the ideal of modern personality Lu Yao that the completion of the awakening self-awareness based on the complete responsibility to others, in order to achieve a higher sense of social harmony, ethical harmony. Yao to "realistic humanism" and "New" has a rich humanistic spirit of thought, as a sign of China's contemporary renaissance humanism.
Yao alive and the deceased relative to violence was name of Wang Xiaobo, the distance tests be a more lonely writer behind. Therefore, Lu Yao occasion of passing away 11 years, a scholar suddenly from the public to read Mr. Han Shishan Daily article, "I think Yao's death" can not help but wonder. However, after reading it, the scholars will be only "surprise" the.
Yao Mr. Han Shishan
The scholar is a literary outsiders, however, self-confidence in reading literary works are not worse than most writers face. Lu Yao's work, published in the collected works in, and the scholars have seen. His "Life" and the film adaptation, at the time of generation of college students set off the share of fanaticism, I still remember. Yao is a influential people respected writer. Literature is perhaps the so-called fashion, but the character of literature and writers of vitality, it is beyond fashion. Time is not the sworn enemy of literature, it is literature and the living witness stand token.
Mr. Han's core view that the Yao to Si Pin was a work by Mao Dun, not worth it; Yao deep-seated reasons for the death, is an epic quest for the great work, advocate this view of literature Yao critics is the objective of premature death on the killers. In short, Yao and the critics do not understand literature, literature should be easy, not heavy. Yao, "light to his mother and his wife to buy two new clothes enough, one can also hand woven cage of mother and wife living the world of beautiful clothes. so that the hardy rural children can only step by step, approached his end. "
In all fairness, Mr. Han that Yao is alive exhausted, and this view is nice; on Yao's death, he is not without "sorry" love. But people can not agree, he gently touches with "not worth" a Yao denied all his life for literary pursuits and dreams. It is not only "not kind" (Mr. Han from the cloud), and loss of the brutal and hegemony.
In fact, Mr. Han is not the main thrust of the article is to commemorate the Yao, but Yao's death by reminding literary beings, not Dao Xi Lu Yao before the difficult situation. He was advocating a "relaxed and healthy," written in a way easily Writing and easily make big money, make themselves and their families a happy life. Well, Mr. Han painstaking as "easy on the" unity of knowledge and the pursuit of writers, there is this necessary?
Literary history a little common sense knows that, due to personal endowments of different, values of life are different, in addition to the special times like the Cultural Revolution, the pursuit of literary creativity and style has always been diverse. The Tang Dynasty, Li Bai of the elegant, high Tao-Wang Wei suits, still has the rural island of thin cold, Li worked hard to Du son desolate melancholy beauty; Song he sacrifice the long, shallow pour sings, joy of spring is the mainstream, but ji, Chen Liang of believers, but the north central plains, her Feelings, the railings beat times. and so on, a character trait, so on and so insist it?
Modern times, such as Lu Xun, Huode Lei, written too tired, do not wrinkle and the dead in that its is exhausted, and are not free, but without the Lu Xun Lu Xun's pursuit, it is called Lu Xun? In the final analysis, the value of human life and worth, is a very personal matter, foreigners of rank, there is no substantive significance. so do not do Lu Xun, Lin Yutang, or to be ren or Liang, and talking nonsense with Heyi Down? looking people world, of course, people who have exhausted, play dead, there are also many leisure death.

Yao, however, behind the 15 years, literary critics, literary achievements of the Yao is not a comprehensive evaluation of praise. Lu Yao's novel was the ratio of "How the Steel Was Tempered" the Chinese version of its books as inspirational: Some people have Yao and Shen, Sun Li and other local writers comparison, the only writings of scholars specializing in non-Lu Yao more, even many of the university's Modern and Contemporary Literature class will be a take-off distance tests; more people to simply go to Lu Yao lag a literary concept, creative way old "Left Behind" author.
In fact, Yao had noted that whatever the criticism during his lifetime, he had this profound thought. Yao believes that comparing the nineteenth century Russian and French literature of the great degree of realism, realistic writing in China is far from mature. In this context, blind imitation of the new literary genre, and "foreign things", the introduction of devouring doomed no future. Yao attitude outrightly therefore adhere to their plain style, his attitude was rather excitedly: "Everyone has their own language style, the works...... if I even appear in the line of such and such a text as I have firmly it off. "
Yao 15 years behind the face of surrealism, magic realism and other styles of the new local literature is not repeated the poor, people ask: Yao date? This, literary critic Li Jianjun that it is in "pioneer literature" winds sweeping, we see Yao, he stood firm on his position by itself, not the gathering surging waves "coerced and go ", this was a real success.
Profound "suffering" label, adhere to or abandon?
Yao was born in suffering, the suffering of using literature to Make the soul in song, but the fate of his life did not change the theme of poverty: during his lifetime, he received the "Mao Dun Literature Award" went to Beijing to accept the award when the toll is borrowed; death After his family members suffering from hereditary diseases, the ailing old mother, wife and daughter all sorts of care, leaving only a 1 million books and nearly 1 million in debt alone.
To commemorate the 15th anniversary of the death of Lu Yao, "Shaanxi Daily" reported consecutive Yao gravely ill family members suffering from liver cirrhosis, because of economic constraints to the treatment of troubled news, Yao led the community's concern about his family, Jia, and others take the lead Yao donations for the family. At the same time, Yao behind, a group of writers adhere to the poor began to surface in people's eyes: He Xu Lin disabled writers almost no source of income in the case, writing in bed for 30 years; another group of "wandering writer in Northern" or poverty, or walk, or silence disappeared......
Contact writer in 2006 in Shenyang peak begging event, Yao 15th anniversary of the death, people who think "poor scholar solid," the old saying, an old problem to be re-filed: literature should not be a poor career? In sharp comparison, the new century, all the rashness and impetuosity literature: Writers in business hot, "electric shock" hot, hot trend of adaptation under the huge system of rare masterpieces, some writers earn unconsciously pours, 10 million yuan worth emerging writers, literature is also facing the danger of becoming vulgar writer seems to have become closely linked with the fame career.
15 years behind Yao, who can not help make such a scenario: the original has a religious-like devotion to the literary attitude Yao if living in the moment, what will? Former "Chang" sub-page editor of the writer gives this answer: "If Yao alive, he must have to travel."
Yao style for poor, which adhere to or abandon? This problem started in Shaanxi writers circle loud call. A famous writer, Shaanxi Sheng Wenlian Vice Chen Yan believes that the current biggest problem faced by writers, the world's material goods, spiritual world of the writer's pursuit and interception, if self-standing instability, not only desire the immortal spirit, but also look ahead and behind to search the market of close combat, then the final is easy to work Gaode neither fish nor fowl.
Young writers turned to the city writing, Yao was younger generation depart from?
In Yao's creative perception, there had such a confession: "I work in the manuscript on the land with his father's work in essentially the same. Thus, this work is the extraordinary work and should not have any great feeling; this you write ordinary world, you are the ordinary world, a member of, not superior...... "
Yao's creation in the field of vision, there was a judge: "My unfortunate history of the formation of the rural problem is...... There is no doubt the vast backward countryside is a heavy burden into the future of."
Today, Lu Xun's literary line drawing recalls the then vice president of the old friends, not conceal regret: "I remember many years ago, Yao went with my two bare feet and the most prosperous areas in Xi'an - Bell Tower. go clock tower, Lu Yao's mood suddenly gone. he remembered the Northern people are suffering, emotions completely ruined. no matter what walk of the bustling city lots, Yao will not forget the suffering of ordinary people. "
Based on the local, deep love for farmers, Yao Gan with his final years of age, drilling coal, Rural, home shabby homes, writing out a heavy, reflecting the 1975-1985 decade, extensive changes in Chinese urban and rural long giant "system Ordinary World. " Yao's tombstone, affectionately inscribed two lines of golden characters - "like a cow, like labor, the same as the land dedication."
Yao 15 years behind, "beauty writers", "Body Writing", "very young writing Corps" and other commercial writing is repeated, has a reputation for plain writing style realism, Shaanxi, featuring a group of writers have begun to appear "face dating "self-reflection-type cries. Right now, after more 70,80 Shaanxi writers began to stay away from local, describe private, describe the city, making the watch has been concern for many people shouted Shaanxi literature disappointment: Is Liu Qing from the first generation to second generation of Lu Yao, Jia and Chen, Shaanxi writers explore the deep life experience, the vast literature pattern of Transcendence literary character, will soon come to an end?
In this regard, Shaanxi writer Li Xing believe that with the interest differentiation of social groups, people's values have also diversified, and the face of these in Chinese history is unprecedented phenomenon, Shaanxi Writers can not just keep working miserable life, was suffering. "Peasant way of life, way of life, is completely not the past that, and labor relations has changed, such as hiring a nanny is difficult, reflecting the rise in labor costs, which is the lowest level of globalization to the Chinese workers affected these, we writers can not but to see! "
In response, White Ye that now a large literature has not the same environment, many factors interfere with writers, the third generation has not experienced any particular writer Shaanxi representative writers, this is also the general problems of Chinese contemporary literature. "This is not a literary problem, but the question of the times."
