family background

Deng Xian was born in Guangyuan, Sichuan Dahua yarn mill in 1953. His grandfather was a famous industrialist in the period of the Republic of China, the boss of Yu Dahua capital group, and a prominent figure in the business world. My grandfather's uncle Shi Fengxiang graduated from Imperial University of Tokyo and was a pioneer of Chinese textile industry education. Shi Jingyi, the daughter of Shi Fengxiang, married Jiang Weiguo, the second son of Chiang Kai Shek. Such a family background made him have a better childhood than other children in the poorest years of China. Until the arrival of the "Cultural Revolution", the Deng family suffered unexpected changes. The red guards in Beijing got the list from the United Front Work Department of the CPC Central Committee and came to Chengdu to copy their homes. The Deng family, together with eight old Chengdu celebrities Deng xihou and Liu Wenhui, became the first families to be copied in Sichuan. Since then, the Deng family has become the "black five" and Deng Xian has become the "son of a dog". Deng Xian was still in primary school. Family influence made Deng Xian precocious and ambitious. He always asks himself to do more and better than others. When he was in middle school, he always taught himself the whole term of mathematics in half a semester. At that time, there was a saying of "combining with workers and peasants" in middle school education. Deng Xian once studied in an electronic tube factory for three months and set up a "secondary tube factory" in the school. Later, he left school in advance and went to the frontier. "Secondary management factory" became his gift to his alma mater.

Childhood dream

Deng Xian had two dreams since he was a child: one was to play ping pong and become a world champion; the other was to become a writer and become Tolstoy. In 1969, he went to junior high school for only two years. During the two years, he won the champion of table tennis team of Chengdu middle school students twice. Just as young Deng Xian was dreaming of being a champion, he was expelled from the training team. One day, he was called out by military representatives and read to him a quote from Chairman Mao: "there is no love or hatred without reason in the world." According to the concept of class struggle as the main theme at that time, children born in Deng Xian's family were supposed to have "hatred". The next day, he left the training team and went back to the ordinary middle school.

Going to the mountains and the countryside

He felt that if he wanted to go, he had to go thoroughly. The farther he went, the better. His mother could not keep him, so she had the heart to let him go and put an Omega watch on his wrist. Deng Xian's grandmother gave it to his father when he went to India with the Chinese expeditionary army in 1943. Later, this "heirloom" representing the glorious history of the Deng family was broken when Deng Xian was chopping firewood on Yunnan farm. On July 7, 1971, the Chengdu Kunming railway, which started trial operation, carried Deng Xian and his party of more than 1200 young people to the frontier. They were told in advance that the frontier Construction Corps "will not recruit workers, cadres or soldiers", that is to say, they may settle there for life. It was a fine day, but when the train was about to leave, it began to rain heavily Deng Xian will always remember the scene, "when the train moved and the whole station was crying, I saw my mother and my younger brother and sister crowded pitifully into the crowd I felt the separation of life and death. I cried for the first time. I hid in the toilet and cried a lot After two days of staggering, the trial train arrived in Chuxiong and took a big truck instead. 150 trucks rolled up yellow sand on the Yunnan Myanmar highway. More and more desolate scenery around, is Deng Xian has never seen. After another six days of car bumps, they arrived at their destination: Longchuan County, Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, west of Nujiang River and south of Myanmar. 130000 educated youth have gathered here. They come from Chongqing, Chengdu, Kunming and Beijing, mainly Shanghai. Their official name is the Yunnan Construction Corps of the Chinese people's Liberation Army, which is called "Yunnan Construction Corps" for short. Deng Xian's specific establishment here is the 5th company, 3rd Battalion, 10th regiment, 3rd Division, Yunnan Construction Corps. Deng Xiangang is 18 years old. He will spend nearly seven years of hard youth here.

Regain the dream of literature

In October 1977, when people's daily came to Longchuan Zhiqing farm after a 15 day trek to bring the news of resuming the college entrance examination, Deng Xian had spent six years and three months of his youth there. He left Chengdu for the frontier at the age of 18. For Deng Xian, a junior high school student who has never given up learning, the college entrance examination means that the opportunity has come. He went from the construction site to the examination room barefoot. He had too much impulse. He unconsciously showed his talent in the examination room and forgot that he should strive for the score: there are two composition questions in the Chinese examination, "praise of the green pine" and "don't be afraid of difficulties in attacking books". He only had to choose one of them, but he did both. "As soon as I got the title of" praise of the green pine ", I felt that I was full of literary thinking. I didn't draft it. I wrote it directly on the test paper, and it was all in one go. After that, I wrote another one. That's it. With 10 minutes left, I wrote a poem. " Later, Deng Xian's composition "praise of Qingsong" was published in Yunnan daily. Before he went to the Chinese Department of Yunnan University, he became famous in the school. He was a week late. According to his resume, the school has confirmed him as the Secretary of the Party branch of the grade. The teacher of writing takes his composition for college entrance examination as a teaching model. In 1995, the "watchman" became a conditioned reflex. When he woke up on the first morning in the student dormitory of Yunnan University, he habitually jumped up to ring the bell and "almost fell off the high bed". When he saw that his classmates were sleeping, he saw that "there are still places in the world that can't work, and he felt that they were very unequal.". This kind of psychological dislocation actually took a whole month to adjust. However, after all, the school is the place where Deng Xian should go most. At school, he was like a duck to water. in college, he practiced writing crazily. In 1982, he graduated and stayed in school to teach. This year, he made a big splash. In a week, he adapted the short story "Ming girl" written by the writer hang Ying into a TV play of the same name, which was popular on Yunnan TV and broadcast on CCTV many times. Later, his first TV play won the first national popular TV Golden Eagle Award. At the same time, this masterpiece also means the recklessness of young people: it is not approved by the copyright owner hangying. Many years later, Deng Xian, a middle-aged man, felt deeply sorry for this. He said that he would like to have a chance to apologize to the senior writer hangying face to face. In 1987, Deng Xian will be transferred back to Chengdu. He has always been worried about the fate of the educated youth. The feeling at that time was, "it seems that I have been wronged so much.". He asked for two months' creative leave and put in 200 yuan to start his writing on the history of educated youth. However, he changed his mind on the way to collect material. He discovered the old battlefield of the Anti Japanese war. It's a mountain. It's 60 degrees steep. There are trenches all over the mountain, tank trenches, carved castles, and bullet marks on pine trees. This is his father's battlefield, where 20000 soldiers died. His father belonged to the Kuomintang expeditionary army, and he never told Deng Xian about his struggle in those years. He thought that only 40 years later, history was not only distorted but also forgotten. Even his son did not know the sacrifice of his father. As an educated youth, it's just tiredness. Compared with the war, compared with the parents, compared with the youth in the war, the heroic resistance of the parents is related to the survival of the country, but what about us? Deng Xian felt pale and insignificant in the face of history. He said, "I sat on the top of the mountain for a day, and I got up from there and grew up." He decided to write about his parents. In 1990,
