Anecdotes of characters

Zheng Yi, a student of Tsinghua high school affiliated to Beijing, is an alumnus of high school with outstanding writers such as Shi Tiesheng and Zhang Chengzhi. He came to Shanxi rural areas from Beijing to jump in the queue. When Zhang Zhonge came to Zheng Yi's home, he saw that his family was destitute and destitute. Zheng Yi gave Zhang Zhonge a novella Yuancun, telling him that the work had been rejected by six journals. Zhang Zhonge read the novel and was deeply attracted by the content. The novel is about the marriage customs of women in remote mountain villages in Shanxi Province. This is a figurative metaphor. The novel describes the story of two men, a woman and a dog. It tells the story of a rural woman in Shanxi who is forced by life to commit herself to two men. The man she married is a formal husband, and the other Shepherd is an informal man. This man and her husband have reached a tacit understanding, and they know each other by heart. This woman is not because of love, but because of economic reasons to make a helpless choice. When Zhang Zhonge was engaged in the "four Qing Dynasty" in Miyun County in the suburbs of Beijing in the 1960s, he saw this abnormal marital status, so he had a real understanding of Zheng Yi's description. He thinks the characters in this novel are very vivid, and the dog is also vivid. This sad story reflects a serious social problem, that is, rural poverty. Worried that Meng Weiya, the editor in chief of contemporary, had different ideas, he wrote several thousand words of review opinions to Meng Weiya. Meng Weiya carefully read the manuscript and Zhang Zhonge's comments and agreed to publish it. In order not to attract people's attention, the small print was arranged. Unexpectedly, Yuancun, an unpopular novel, won the national excellent novella award.

Zhang Zhonge's trip to Shanxi was full of success, and he found several new stars in the literary world. The success of Yuancun strengthened Zheng Yi's confidence. He wrote another novella laojing, which is still a native rural theme and vivid life scene. In 1985, Zhang Zhonge launched the special issue of Shanxi writers' novellas in contemporary magazine, and solemnly launched Zheng Yi's old well, Li Rui's red house, Cheng Yi's yunzhonghe and Luo Xueke's power of women. He also enthusiastically wrote the editor's note with the title of "the rise of the Jin army, eye-catching", and the title of "the Jin army" was recognized by the literary world. This issue of "contemporary" caused a sensation in the literary world, and "old well" was moved to the screen and won the International Film Award. Zhang Yimou also won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor for this work.
