Lin Yi has always liked to read the books of contemporary Chinese writers, and the most impressive is Yu Hua's books, among which Lin Yi loves his two novels, one is "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood", and the other is "Alive". Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" sells blood, but reading it makes people cough up blood.

"Alive" says that it is better to die than to live, but reading it makes people feel that life is better than death.

The content of the story of "Alive" is very simple, basically the bumpy life of the protagonist "Fugui": the landlord young master Fugui is addicted to gambling, and finally gambled away from the family business and was destitute, and Fugui went to seek medical treatment because of his mother's illness, but he did not expect to be arrested by the Kuomintang troops on the way, and was captured by the People's Liberation Army. The real tragedy has only begun to play out gradually, and the rare warmth in life will be torn apart by death again and again, and in the end, only the old Fugui will be accompanied by an old cow to remember in the sun.

The point is that Yu Hua was awarded the Chevalier de l'Ordre des Lettres des Arts et des Lettres in March 2004 for this novel.

In 1994, it was also filmed into a movie by the great director Zhang Yimou, starring Ge You, and Ge You became the Cannes actor with this play, but unfortunately, because the content of the film is too "sensitive", this film has not been released in the mainland, and many enthusiasts can only frantically pick up the disc.

However, in 2006, mainland director Zhu Zheng adapted the novel into a 33-episode TV series, but compared with the "seriousness" and "cruelty" contained in the ups and downs of the novel, the TV series is much more "warm", and at the end of the episode, Fugui left his little grandson bitter root, and Fugui also signed his name on the application letter for joint production contracting, which brought a lot of hope to the audience. As for the screenwriter's explanation for this, since it is a TV series, it is necessary to take into account the public's acceptance, and it can't be too miserable, it seems that how can people withstand this kind of gravity.

But Lin Yi feels that the essence of this novel is actually these "gravity" that is so miserable that it wants to tear people apart, thus revealing that the common people of China--- for thousands of years have been so bumpy "alive".

Because he liked this novel, Lin Yi, who used to be a poor sling, tried to collect all the versions of this novel, but he soon retreated, because ...... It's too expensive.

"Alive" was created by Yu Hua in 1992, and after the creation was completed, it was given to major publishing houses, but no one wanted to publish it.

So, Yu Hua, who was also a little famous at that time, rode a bicycle around the streets and alleys of Beijing, and in the summer, he even took a watermelon to the editorial department to run. ”

The big publishing houses in Beijing were reluctant to publish books, afraid of taking risks, so Yu Hua could only retreat to the next best, looking for those publishing houses that were a little smaller, and at this time, the Yangtze River Literature and Art Publishing House contacted him.

Headquartered in Wuhan, the Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House is not too well-known in the country, but this publishing house is quite "adventurous" and has bright eyes, and it is easy to target those writers who are somewhat offbeat, such as Liu Zhenyun, Su Tong, and Wang Xiaobo. So this time, the publishing house contacted Yu Hua and only said one sentence, "We will publish this book." ”

So in 1993, Changjiang Literature and Art took the lead in publishing Yu Hua's novel "Alive", but only 3,000 copies were published! Needless to say, why.

It's just a pity that the power of 3000 copies is too weak, so that Yu Hua's famous book did not become popular immediately, until 1994, when Taiwan Wheat Field Publishing House signed a contract with Yu Hua to officially publish this book, this book can be regarded as a real fire, and it is a flower outside the wall and a fragrance in the wall---

Then, following the trend, many publishing houses began to eagerly find Yu Hua with a smile on their faces to discuss publishing matters...... The happy Yu Hua no longer has to run the editorial department with a watermelon.

Nowadays, the prices of the various versions of "Alive" are very different:

Yangtze River Literature and Art, 1993 one edition and one printing, only 3,000 copies printed, more than nine products price: 180 yuan.

Taiwan wheat field, 1994 one edition and one printing, Chinese traditional Chinese version, nine products and above price: 160 yuan.

Nanhai Publishing House (signed book), the first edition in May 1998, with a print run of tens of thousands of copies, and the price of more than nine products: 120 yuan.

Writer's Publishing House (signed book), printed in 2005, priced at 100 yuan for more than nine products.

Among them, Nanhai Publishing House has the most "signed copies", and it seems that the publishing house invited Yu Hua to do a signature activity at that time, but unfortunately, it is difficult to invite such a great god now.

In addition, the price of the first overseas version of Yu Hua's "Alive" is mostly outside 100 yuan, which can be said to be very collectible.

It is precisely because Lin Yi is very clear about the various versions of Yu Hua's "Alive" that when he took out the book from the woman's handbag, he took a look, because this book is "the first version of Yangtze River literature and art, only 3,000 copies were printed!" ”

It's rare enough for a girl to have a book stuffed in her bag, and what's even more rare is such a good version of an old book, which makes Lin Yi really a little confused.

Could it be that this girl is also a peer, or she is an authentic "Wenqing", but she doesn't look like she looks like she is wearing heavy makeup.

Lin Yi, I don't understand it.

……

When Lin Yi finished going to the toilet and took his satchel and walked back, the inch-headed man who had been ruined by him before saw him come out, and sneered on the seat in the aisle, and then when Lin Yi walked next to him, he suddenly stretched out his feet.

Lin Yi didn't expect a stumble under his feet, and he fell directly to the front, if it wasn't for the kindness of a passenger who helped him, he would have fallen this time.

Lin Yi was furious, stood up with his hand on the chair, turned around and said to the inch, "What are you doing?" ”

The inch-headed man picked his teeth with his nails, leaned at Lin Yi, and said in an arrogant tone: "It's because you don't have long eyes, and you haven't looked for you if my legs hurt!" ”

Lin Yi glanced at him, "Did you do it on purpose?" ”

"What's the matter, Lao Tzu doesn't like you!" The inch-headed man stood sideways, got up and rolled up his sleeves to repair Lin Yi.

Lin Yi can also be regarded as following Huang Jiaotou, Cao Yidao and others to see a big scene, when a large group of gangsters besieged a few of them, they didn't even blink an eye, where would they be afraid of this guy.

At this time, the people around him saw what was going on clearly, and some people said to the inch-headed man righteously: "Young man, you're wrong, how can you say that, it's clear that you want to trip over people......"

The inch-headed man turned his head and shouted: "Shut the fuck, don't you want to smoke?" ”

The man immediately fell silent and shrank back into the crowd.

There is no way, this world is like this, many people are used to tending to evil and avoiding good fortune, as long as they don't care about their own business, they will hide.

Seeing that no one dared to care, the inch-headed man became even more arrogant, staring at Lin Yi viciously with his eyes, and sneering: "Damn, I won't kill you today with your surname!" ”

Lin Yi knew that there was no way to avoid it, and he really didn't understand where the train personnel who liked to check tickets from time to time had gone at this time, someone was about to start, but they didn't see half of them.

Others held their breath and watched the excitement.

It is also quite exciting to be able to watch a living "life and death fight" on this lonely train.

Only those soft-hearted women watched Svenwen's Lin Yi fight against this big-shouldered, round-waisted, and sturdy inch-headed man, and they couldn't bear it, thinking about whether to call the police quickly.

Pressed for time---

Just when Lin Yi was about to "tear off" Sven and the inch-headed man in front of him, suddenly, a person next to him flew up and kicked directly under the inch-headed man's crotch.

With a scream, the inch-headed man immediately covered his bottom and squatted on the ground with a painful face.

Seeing him like this, Lin Yi panicked for him, and then looked at the woman who fought bravely, but who was not the woman with big nerves?

I saw her slap her face, looking relaxed, and said to the wailing inch-headed man: "Grass! Goods like you, the old lady has seen a lot! ”

Halo, what's going on?

Lin Yi was a little dizzy, could it be that a beautiful woman saves a hero? But he's not a hero, he's just a scholar at best. (To be continued.) )
