From Isso to Tchaikovsky

Grandpa is the founder of my literary life

Without experiencing too much life of life, more than half of my experience relied on my literary life may come from reading experience, which affects the people who start writing either the person who writes books or the people in the book.

The first person to send a book to me is my grandfather. He is a primary school mathematics teacher. I still clearly remember the scene at the time. At about the age of four, I was told early that day: the sailor father of the ocean will return from Hong Kong. During the day, my grandfather went to the bookstore and bought me a book "Isso Fables", which I chose it myself. My father hadn't arrived home at dusk. I sat on the wooden sofa and opened the picture book. A crane pecked the long beak to the shallow plate of the fox. The thick western -style broth, I was deeply attracted by it, swallowing in the dark light.

"Why haven't Dad yet?" I kept asking ... Grandpa sat next to him to calm down my disturbing emotions, just like five years later, when my grandmother came out, I cried and cried, and it was on the same sofa. Momsses, he was comforting me. Two years later, my grandfather died, and there was no one who comforted me in this world.

In fact, my grandfather is the founder of my literary life.

One day in the early morning of the Qing Dynasty, Chen Sanli, a poem of the great poet, read "Lei Lei Tianwai Mountain, House of Mountain in the Mountain", and I suddenly remembered the past of childhood and grandfather living in the mountain village elementary school he taught. At that time, I was five years old. Every Monday we returned to school. I stick to my grandfather's bicycle back seat like a little thought that can be blown away at any time.

My grandfather asked me, "Do you remember your grandfather when you grow up?" The wheels rang, and he couldn't hear me whispering too much. I went to Lianqun Village Elementary School in half an hour. There were our small rooms, my own small bed and small blackboard. The mountains in the distance are far away, and they are always green and fresh, flowing to my eyes ...

The phrase "Wei Zero Soul" in the poem is quite grateful. The grandfather riding is a 28 -type bicycle, which is towering, suitable for looking at the distance, suitable for failed, humiliation, and hard work. Those grandfather do what I do for me. At that time, he had drifted in the hostile world for half a lifetime, and I hadn't started this indifferent drift. The image of the grandfather, began to guard me from that moment, and began to shape the standard of people in me. Later, I knew that this was also the standard of literature.

These are the earliest memories of my grandfather. Is there any more? I remember that for the first time I came into contact with the word "unlimited", I asked my grandfather: "Is infinity the biggest number? If so, what is the infinite plus one?" How did the grandfather answer?

I forgot the answer of my grandfather, but remember that one night, President Yao invited his grandfather to go to his dormitory as a guest. President Yao came from a farther city. Like his father -in -law, because he was a diploma obtained before 1949, the result was "the Cultural Revolution. "When he was degraded to this mountain village elementary school, the two cherished each other. The two sons of President Yao were my playmates on the mountain, but that night we did not play, because President Yao took out a mysterious black box.

The black box was opened, and when he got on the clockwork, President Yao carefully took out a black disc, put it on it, and then mentioned a tone arm (of course I grew up to know the name) gently on the edge of the disc. Then, after a slight rustling sound, it was suddenly like spring water, winding, and ups and downs. A song I had never heard such a rich and delicate music, which was full of huts in the valley.

Tchaikovsky, I remember this name.

Another name is related to the grandfather. The grandfather had one son or four daughters, and only the three aunts sword Qiu inherited the father's business and admitted to the normal school. When I was nine years old, I graduated from the Third Auntie Normal University. Seeing me loved painting and gave me a book "Middle Normal School Art Textbook: Art Appreciation" published in 1983. The editor of the book estimates that it is related to the trend of modern Chinese art in the 1980s. The editorial selection is very avant -garde -in addition to letting me know the history of world art before the age of ten, it also talks about Pop art and even light effect art. I remember including Andy. · Walhol, Boyce, and Hamilton's "What makes the family so different today and so attractive?" "

In 1985, a child in a remote small county touched the world's top art and artistic concepts. It has a decisive impact on the aesthetic cultivation of my writing, especially the avant -garde direction.

One year later, his grandfather died because of quack medicine. In the past nine years, I published my first collection of poems "Yong Ye", which contains a poem written to him: the light in the woods -commemorating my grandfather, writing this song on March 17, 1994 The poem is very immature, but it is the only poem that makes my mother read tears.
