Miao Wei
Miao Wei
Miao Wei, a writer, was born in 1968. He has published essays "let me go to the world of flowers", short stories "unless the soul claps his hands to sing" and "flying in the night". In 2012, he published the novel "few people have diseases". Now he is the deputy editor in chief of Sanlian Life Weekly and the editor in chief of Xinzhi magazine.
In July 2015, Miao Wei resigned as deputy editor in chief of Sanlian Life Weekly and editor in chief of Xinzhi magazine, and formally resigned from Sanlian bookstore.
Character experience
After graduating from college, Miao Wei worked for some time in Beijing International Studies University. There, his greatest achievement was to be able to read time, the New York Times and other famous publications, which made him eye opening.
"Sometimes we realize that compared with the students of computer department, law department and Economics Department, we don't learn any systematic knowledge, and it's normal that we can't find an ideal job after graduation," Miao Wei said. "But don't give up on ourselves. The role of studying humanities is long-term, and it will be gradually reflected in a long period of time in the future." Through reading an article in the New York Times, he realized that learning humanities can improve reading and writing ability and master emotional language, "these are undoubtedly important talents in life.".
In 1994, Miao Wei was recommended by his teacher to write a short column in China Football daily. In this way, I didn't expect that the "great achievements" he expected when he graduated would be realized in just two years. In a meeting with his predecessors, he realized the true meaning of "I am in my heart, but there is no other in my eyes" in writing, which has been guiding him in writing for more than ten years.
Since he set foot on his job, Miao Wei's "concept of continuity" in his career began to take effect. "When you start to work for a period of time, you will encounter a lot of things to deal with. In the next three or five years, you may be confused about what you are busy with, which needs the concept of continuity to support you," he said
From 1996 to 2008, he insisted on "continuity". He founded "life round table" and "personal problems", two famous columns of Life Weekly. He is also a member of the "voice" column. In the past 15 years, he has collected nearly 10000 celebrity comments.
In foreign countries, he has questions about media books in the second-hand Library of Ottawa, the joy of meeting his childhood football idol in Spain, the admiration of the campus environment in the interview of Cambridge school anniversary, and the thinking in the Apartheid Museum of Johannesburg Every journey, every story, constitutes his life track.
In July 2015, Miao Wei resigned as deputy editor in chief of Sanlian Life Weekly and editor in chief of Xinzhi magazine, and formally resigned from Sanlian bookstore. Miao Wei said that he would join the Internet start-up army, and has started to establish an Internet video company called "thumb hero".
Character evaluation
Zhu Wei talks about Miao Wei
I always feel that Miao Wei has a typical brand of literary interest in the 1990s. Among American writers, he likes Mark Twain and Hemingway. Among Eastern European writers, he likes Chapec and Milan Kundera. He likes simple witty playfulness, but he doesn't like the heavy burden of reading. As a result, "fun" has become a spokesman for fun. Playfulness and humor are rare things in Chinese literature.

On Miao Wei
Like all the people who write, Miao Wei starts from making himself feel better, but it can be seen that Miao Wei is not only making himself feel better, although he repeatedly quotes English and emphasizes, "writing it's about getting better, getting well, getting over, getting app, OK? Getting app." It can be seen that in modern times, in my motherland, although many famous or not famous people are old or abandoned, Miao Wei is still at the beginning and is still enjoying his opportunities.

Editor in chief of Xinzhi magazine
The full name of Sanlian bookstore is life · reading · Xinzhi Sanlian bookstore. At the end of 1970s, Sanlian founded Dushu magazine and Sanlian Life Weekly in the 1990s. After the Spring Festival, Xinzhi magazine will also be published for trial. This was confirmed by Miao Wei, editor in chief of Xinzhi magazine, in a telephone call yesterday. In this way, as Zhu Wei, editor in chief of Sanlian Life Weekly, said on his microblog, "the three brands of Sanlian bookstore are complete.". Miao Wei said yesterday that it is too difficult to run a magazine now, and he is not sure whether people still need such a magazine.
Miao Wei: I hope the writer can be sure of every word he writes
Miao Wei said that the idea of running Xinzhi magazine had been put forward by Sanlian people for a long time. This time, it was put forward in October last year. Only when he met the day before yesterday did he know that he would be the editor in chief of the new magazine. At present, Miao Wei is still thinking about a lot of specific work of the magazine. He said that the printing cost of a magazine is five yuan, and the distribution cost is one or two yuan. He has not started to edit it, and it has already cost six or seven yuan. The price has not been determined yet. It may be between 15 yuan and 20 yuan. "I just want to know what's worth printing for so much money. Now new media is also very developed. People can get what information they want if they work hard."
At present, Miao Wei's orientation of Xinzhi is a magazine of intellectual life, and the characteristics of articles should first have the meaning of intellectual life. "My intellectual life and spiritual life may not have much to do with the real world. In the past, books, art and some scientific progress may have something to do with them, not necessarily news events. The focus is on intellectual life. "
At present, the content of Xinzhi magazine is tentatively divided into 20% scientific content, and other contents include art, film, drama, character report, etc. Miao Wei said that there will be more translation content in it, and he also hopes that people who write articles for this magazine can be sure of every word they write.
Dong Xiuyu
Running Xinzhi magazine is my dream
Dong Xiuyu, former general manager of Sanlian bookstore, said that before she retired, Sanlian intended to be a new magazine. "When I retired, the chief said," what do you want? I said, give me the new number first. He said you're retired and you want to start a new company? I said, "yes, yes, it's a dream of mine.". "Now that Xinzhi is really going to be run, Dong Xiuyu is very happy. She said that Sanlian bookstore is about reading, life and Xinzhi, so she only hopes to run three publications, which can interact with publishing." New knowledge is also very important in this era. It's a mood and a long-term wish for me. But now to be honest, in this era, it's not easy to start a pure journal. It's more difficult than before. I hope they have some innovative ideas to do it, which may be more effective. "In the past, Dong Xiuyu and her colleagues in Sanlian have constructed the appearance of" rational zhongxinzhi "magazine. They think that this magazine should have the nature of Humanities and science, but the scope should be wider and suitable for readers of medium level. "In my opinion, Sanlian has never been a high-level academic. Academic is our brand and foundation, but we still need to consider the readers of the public level and medium education level. New knowledge is the reading material of the public, but the public of Sanlian is different from the general, and we still have the concept of cultural public."
The changes of the times make Dong Xiuyu think that this new magazine has higher requirements for the editor in chief, because this era can not only talk about humanities, but also must have science, including natural science, social science and humanities. This kind of richness challenges the editor in chief, and requires the editor to have more knowledge, interests and resources. Talking about Miao Wei, the editor in chief of the magazine, Dong Xiuyu said: "I think Miao Wei will make a different magazine, which may be completely different from what I think, and I will be very happy."
