The "post -90s" blind writer and his ancient Star River

Wu Keyan shared his story on the Straits Forum as a representative.

China Times (chinatimes.net.cn) reporter Zhou Nan Wang Xiaohui Beijing report

If you wake up in a restless sleeping dream one morning, what should you do if you find yourself lying on the bed into a huge beetle? If one day, what should you do if you suddenly told yourself that you will be completely blind?

The former is the experience of the protagonist of the "Transformer" in Kafka's writing, and the latter is the true portrayal of the "post -90s" blind writer Wu Keyan. One illusion, one is true, but the same thing is that the sudden changes have made the original "normal" life covered a certain degree of absurdity.

The reporter first saw Wu Keyan at the 14th Strait Forum. He was very young, wearing black -frame glasses, and his lover led him to the stage. The black suit made him calm.

In an interview with reporters, he talked about philosophy, truth, literature, and writing. Talking about the "disabled literature", he said that the literature of the disabled is a literary work created by the author of the disabled, and he wants to add the interval number, that is, "disabled-people-literature", so that "disability" becomes One attribute means that people are incomplete, and people's survival and views are limited. Literature is also limited, limited by the author's ability, and is limited by social state. "Writers often cut their feet and perform well. Cutting feet is a kind of disability, not on the limbs, but spiritual."

"The writer is small, but the power of literature is great." Wu Keyan was convinced that "'Literature' should be continuously transcended, and it should support and expand the 'disability-people', which can support and expand the opening '' ' Disabled-Man's Literature Society becomes a classic work, because humans need such literature no matter what era. "

When saying this, Wu Keyan seemed to sit in a dark, but behind the ancient star river.

Junior Koyan's troubles

Why does Apple change color by itself, red half an hour ago, and half an hour later became green? When witnessing this strange phenomenon, Wu Keyan was still in the sixth grade of elementary school, but this is the real world in his eyes.

Not only that, Wu Keyan has a lot of problems. Why did I suddenly step back, when I played, I couldn't see the ball, and I couldn't see the people around me when I looked down? Why do you always pay attention to traffic when riding and getting in school, but always collide? Why does the light fall into darkness as long as the light is slightly darker?

"I said it many times, but my family did not believe it. I lasted about a year. After my repeated verification and emphasis, when I went to the hospital at the age of 13, I diagnosed the retinal pigment degeneration. It will gradually decrease, and the field of vision will gradually shrink until it is completely blind. "

Wu Keyan, who has stood up, can tell reporters very calmly about the past. However, the study and life of young Wu Keyan was deeply affected.

At first, the vision was narrow and unable to distinguish the color. Later, the words on the book became more and more invisible. From the magnitude of the magnifying glass to the use of electronics, the time of the eyes became shorter and shorter. It was very tired to read the book for a while. Over the condition of vision, Wu Keyan did not know when he would be completely blind, and his fear of darkness was dormant in his heart. In the end, he was invisible. He didn't know what the meaning of his efforts was.

The dilemma of physical obstacles and thoughts, "Three years of junior high school are my most painful three years." Wu Keyan told reporters that he was still studying in ordinary schools at the time. I feel that I am different from others, the tight nerves.

The pain gave birth to philosophy, and his special experience made him even more "early wisdom". Children in the age of ten began to think about the meaning of life. "I want to be a philosopher and seek my truth."

Wu Keyan loves reading. Even if his vision is weak, he insists on reading a large number of east -west classics, especially philosophical books. Wu Keyan's way of reading is very "wonderful". He puts ten books on the left side of the desk each time, each reads ten pages, puts on the right side of the ten pages, and reads the ten pages of the book. Which of the ten books has been read and replace the next one. However, one book has always been- "Zhuangzi".

"The dealer, the virtue, the virtue of the virtue, and the whole person." The saying of "virtue" in "Zhuangzi" gives Wu Keyan a new understanding of himself. "The disability on the body is a trivial matter. The spiritual quality is completely important. This statement is very helpful to me at the time. "Wu Keyan called" Zhuangzi "as" the book in the book ". Tell reporters that if you can only bring a book when you are in the deserted island, he will choose "Zhuangzi".

However, on the other hand, the road to the pursuit of the truth is not completely smooth, and the philosophers of different genres have different truths. They criticized each other and put Wu Keyan who had the beginning of the mind into some kind of chaos. Make him feel disappointed and distressed, "I started to feel that philosophy seems to be unable to bring me the truth."

Facing the absurdity

However, the "telescope of different focal lengths" in philosophy helped Wu Keyan look up at the sky of literature. The troubles of young Koyama ushered in the summer vacation in the third day of the third day. He came into contact with a large number of novels that touched the mind and philosophical significance.

At the age of 16, he read Kafka's "Transformer". The story of the protagonist woke up inexplicably into a beetle that made him poured. "I have never thought about it before, why is there a problem with my eyes and why I just figured it out? I am different from others. Kafka's novels are so inexplicable, but it holds me that I have been pursuing the answer and the state of truth. Going directly to the absurd situation. "Facing the absurdity, Wu Keyan no longer struggled and tragedy" why ". He decided to go to blind schools in high school. At that time, I could still see a little, "Transformers" made me face my situation. "

Since then, Wu Keyan has encountered Borges, Hemingway, and Camus who have influenced him deeply, especially the blind writer Borchus. Highly shocking and encouraging. "They use novels to find philosophy and truth." Wu Keyan decided to engage in literary creation. In the three years of blind schools, he insisted on reading tens of thousands of words a day, and created a lot of poetry and short stories with his unique insights and perspectives.

However, Wu Keyan's literary creation was not optimistic. Everyone advised him to recognize the reality. In the year of high school, his father also brought him a special visit to a local poet, and the answer was still -he could not make a living by literature. So Wu Keyan decided to study acupuncture and massage during the college entrance examination. "I thought at the time that I had to make a massage as an economic foundation and use literature as a upper -level building. As long as the massage was trained on the two hands, life would have no concern."

In 2009, Wu Keyan was admitted to the School of Education, Changchun University. During college, Wu Keyan wrote while learning massage. In the year of the freshman year, under the urging of a strong sense of crisis, he completed the first novel "Week 8" in his life. Go to the blind massage shop to work, and may not have the opportunity to write novels in the future. I want to draw a end to my literary dreams and write "Week 8". "

Facing the absurdity gave Wu Keyan an extra surprise. This novel with suspense science fiction and 260,000 words quickly quickly attracted the attention of the Fujian Provincial Disabled Persons' Federation and the Fujian Provincial Writers Association, and was funded and published. In the selection of the eighth Baihua Literature and Art Award in Zhangzhou, "Week 8" stood out from the 193 literary and artistic works running and won the first prize.

"Drag" live time

In fact, shortly after the completion of "Week 8", Wu Keyan's eyes completely fell into darkness. From 13 to 24 years old, a large stone finally fell to the ground. He said with a smile that "the doctor predicted was still accurate."

Bomitight has little influence on Wu Keyan's creation. At that time, he had been able to write with the help of screen -reading software and could not use his eyes. He told reporters that Dark helped him cut off more temptations and interference from the outside world and let him "drag" time.

Wu Keyan seems particularly sensitive to time. In "Week 8", the protagonist Wu Baiqi got the gift of time, and it took a day a week. However, this gift plundered the time back with various tricks. After all, it was illusory.

Confucius said, "Gentleman is not an appliance," Wu Keyan called Wu Buli, "No one is a machine, we are more or less. The science and technology society is a system. When people are included in this system, they are similar to the machine. Only with the rhythm of this system. Our life is deeply influenced by technology. The technology has implanted us in a wonderful week, but we must be vigilant, we cannot become an appliance, cannot be controlled by technology. The time gift given to us from science and technology advances really get it. "

How to "no", get the gift of time?

In Wu Keyan's view, two types are divided into two types, one is the visible public time on the clock, and the other is the "true time" exclusive to its own. "When I entered the writing state, I often felt that I only passed for a moment, but whenever I came to an end and found that two or three hours have passed. For me, I was dragged away by me. , Drag into a world exclusive to me. "

Wu Keyan also referred to the state of my two forgotten this thing as "misplaced". "We should try to pursue this misalignment," drag "out of time.

After "Week 8", Wu Keyan has been writing "extended time". Over the past eight years, he has continued to cultivate, and has created a collection of short stories "Octagonal Space", poetry collection "Blood River Collection", long novel "Tea Sheng", short story collection "Little Dream", long novel "Blind School" and children Literature "Earth".

"As long as a person chooses to write, then all the unfortunateness he experiences is no longer terrible, because they have become the material of writing." Bolges said. Although Wu Keyan will borrow the prototypes of the characters in life during writing, he never touches the theme of blind people.

"For a long time, my eyes are my pain points and weaknesses. I have psychological obstacles. But at the age of 27, I want to understand one thing after three years of blindness. Only the generals are afraid of exposing their weaknesses. The weaknesses came out and analyzed. "So Wu Keyan began to write" Blind School "and write about the experience of three years in high school.

The first draft Wu Keyan was very "angry", and the text was full of criticism. The level of criticism at the time was too low, students did not like to learn, teachers did not like teaching, and so on. "I entered the blind school from high -intensity ordinary schools. I was very uncomfortable. There were many complaints and dissatisfaction. I often had conflicts with teachers. In fact, I was not willing to accept it at the time, thinking that I was in a state of abandonment. "However, after the first draft was written, I suddenly forgive myself and forgive my life at that time. When I wrote the second draft, I began to see the actual difficulties in the blind school at that time. I am very happy, I read a lot of books, and I made full thinking. "Wu Keyan's voice became softer.

In 2020, "Blind School" was published in the literary magazine "Works", and was selected by the film and television company. It is currently undergoing film and television adaptation.

In addition, his short story "White Cloud Girl" won the 3rd Qiming Children's Literature Award, and "Plum Blossom Spectrum" won the 2017 Excellent Literature Award of Fujian Province; "Among the five sessions of the set off, Wu Keyan's works were on the list; in 2018, he joined the Chinese Writers Association and became a member of the youngest Chinese Writers Association in Fujian Province; ; This year he was rated by the news figures of the Disabled Persons in China in 2021.

"The ultimate role of a writer may leave a few sentences for human civilization, leave a little thought, and leave a few characters. Of course, most of the writers have not done it. This must not only rely on hard work, but also rely on fate. "Wu Keyan said, what he could hope was that only the next book can be written better.
