Character experience

In 1951, after graduating from junior high school, Ni Kuang entered the East China People's revolutionary University at the age of 16 and a half for training for three months. After graduating from the East China People's revolutionary University, he joined the Chinese people's Liberation Army and the public security police, and successively participated in the "land reform" and "harnessing the Huaihe River project" to reclaim wasteland in Northern Jiangsu and Inner Mongolia. When he was in Inner Mongolia, he was suspected of "counter revolution" because he destroyed public transport facilities (demolished a wooden bridge to use as firewood on the way to transport coal in a snowstorm) and accepted isolation investigation.

In 1957, Ni Kuang forged a variety of official seals, certificates and letters of introduction, fled from Inner Mongolia to Guangzhou, defected to Macao in July, and then fled to British controlled Hong Kong. When I first came to Hong Kong, I studied in night school, so I got to know Mrs. Ni and Ms. Li Guozhen. Ni Kuang first worked as a handyman in the dyeing factory, and began to contribute to Zhenbao. Later, he was employed by Zhenbao. He successively served as a worker, proofreader, assistant, reporter and political columnist (pseudonym: Yi Qi).

In 1958, Ni Kuang began to write martial arts novels under the pseudonym of Yue Chuan.

In 1959, Ni Kuang married Ms. Li Guozhen with a daughter (Ni SUI) and a son (Ni Zhen). Most of the time after that, he studied by himself, so he didn't receive formal school education.

In 1962, encouraged by cha Liangyong (Jin Yong), Ni Kuang began to write novels under the pseudonym "Wesley". The first novel, diamond flower, was serialized in the supplement of Ming Pao. From the fourth novel "blue blood man", Wesley's series of novels have officially become science fiction series. (the blue blood man was selected as one of the top 100 Chinese novels in the 20th century in 2000 and became the representative work of Ni Kuang's science fiction.).

In the late 1960s, when martial arts films were popular, Ni Kuang turned to script writing. Over the past ten years, he has written no less than hundreds of plays, including one armed knife directed by Zhang Che.

In 1972, after the publication of Wesley's new year, Ni Kuang suspended the creation of Wesley's novels for six years.

In 1978, Wesley's series of novels hair was published, which was rated as the most popular novels among the young people in Hong Kong. Ni Kuang then returned to the creation of science fiction.

When you are free, you can plant flowers and fish at home, such as Mantuoluo and shenxianyu. He said with a smile that he could see the Golden Gate Bridge in the bathroom, so he wrote a poem: "look up at the golden gate, look down at the bird.". After immigration, Ni Kuang lived a leisurely life, claiming to be the first in cooking, the second in gardening, and the third in literature and art.

In 2012, he won the lifelong achievement award of the 31st Hong Kong Gold Award.

Personal life

Ni Kuang's good friend

Ni Kuang once wrote a couplet: "he wrote many plays for Zhang Che, and wrote novels for Jin Yong." he said two things he was most proud of in his life.

Ni Kuang has several close friends, Gu Long. They met in 1967 and became close friends. When Gulong died, Ni Kuang was heartbroken and shed tears in the mourning hall (he also drank more than half of the foreign wine buried with him).

Jin Yong, Ni Kuang's good friend and boss for many years. His novels are only serialized in Ming Pao, and most of them are also published by mingchuang publishing house. Ni Kuang wrote Tianlong Babu for Jin Yong for several months, deliberately blinding ah Zi. (but later Jin Yong told Ni Kuang that he wanted to delete a paragraph he wrote, and Ni Kuang only said that he would not be my friend if he asked me.) Jin Yong praised Ni Kuang in 1982 and 1983, saying: "the eternal contradiction between the infinite universe, infinite time and space, infinite possibilities, and the impermanent life is woven out of this head."

There are four talents in the cultural circle of Hong Kong: Jin Yong, Ni Kuang, Cai Lan and Huang Zhan. In addition to Jin Yong, the latter three are also known as Xiangjiang's three famous people. Speaking of the origin of this "famous mouth", to a large extent, it is because Huang Zhan, Cai Lan and Ni Kuang once co hosted a TV adult program "no defenses tonight", which is open and open-minded. They especially like to invite red stars and celebrities to analyze their inner world, and show their happiness, anger, sadness and joy to the audience. When it comes to adult topics, they are full of salty and sweet words He is a romantic talent.

Jin Yong said that Cai Lan: I'm not as good as Cai Lan in terms of style and variety. He's a really cool person.

Huang Zhan said Cai Lan: he is my most trustworthy friend.

Ni Kuang said Cai Lan: what does Cai Lan write like. Once, he took my name and gave his script to a producer, who immediately paid me the script fee. If I die, he'll be the first to hang me up.

Cai Lan said that Jin Yong: he is the person I admire most, because I was fascinated by his novels at that time.

Cai Lan said: Huang Zhan's talent in music is undeniable, and his understanding of music is also very interesting.

Cai Lan said Ni Kuang: Ni Kuang is not a human being, but an alien. His brain is very flexible, and his thoughts are very strange and strange, so it's very pleasant to talk to him, and we often laugh.

Huang Zhan and Ni Kuang praised him as a genius and the father of Cantonese pop music in Hong Kong. It is said that the two men were the result of "Wenqu star" coming down to earth and splitting into two. Ni Kuang presented Huang Zhan with a couplet in the autumn of 1993“

Two days of cooking is yellow, but a lifetime of cooking is not white

”But Huang Zhan thinks that the order of these two sentences should be reversed.

Both of them are the founders of Chinese science fiction, but their views on the concept, form of expression, role and mission of science fiction are quite different. Zhang Xiguo describes the situation of seeing Ni Kuang for the first time: "Ni Kuang's appearance is completely the appearance of Sister Feng in a dream of Red Mansions. Every time I met later, I heard his loud voice and long smile before I saw him. " He added: "frankly speaking, I first fell in love with Ni Kuang himself before I read his novels. Looking at his small and thin figure (Note: it was ten years ago), I can't imagine that he has such great energy. He can write 4500 words per hour and finish a novel or play in four or five days Ni Kuang deserves his reputation as a literary genius. " Shen Xicheng, expert of Ni Kuang. He once wrote the story of GAODA, a prodigal son, for Ni Kuang under the pseudonym of "luoren". His works include I see Ni Kuang's science fiction, a close look at Wesley's science fiction, Jin Yong and Ni Kuang, etc. Ye Lihua, another expert of Ni Kuang, has studied Ni Kuang's works for nearly 20 years. Because of his love of science fiction, he became a close friend of Ni Kuang and was also Ni Kuang's computer teacher.

Ni Yijing teaches physics at the University of Singapore. He has been teaching since he graduated from school. He has never changed his job, and his life is the most stable. Married to a Singaporean woman, she has two daughters, both of whom are gorgeous beauties. When I was a child, I met me and always said that I wanted to be an actor. I saw that they were still in junior high school and said that they would come to me after reading the book. In the blink of an eye, the eldest daughter is 25 years old, and the star dream will never happen again, right?

Ask Ni Yijing to find out how many brothers and sisters there are in the Ni family? Ni Yijing replied as follows: my eldest brother's name is Ni Yifang. He was raised by his relatives and changed his surname to Wang. He is a chemical engineer and now lives in the mainland.
