Memorial Mr. Qi Gong's birthday 110th anniversary | Yu Ning: Uncle Qi

In the 1960s and 1970s, the author's father, Mr. Yu Min, was influenced by "exercise" and could not discipline his younger son (that is, the author), so he asked his colleagues and close friends to help with it. Walk into Mr. Qi's home. Every bit of Mr. Qi has also become the most precious memory of the author. The author has written several articles, describing the living conditions and personality style of Mr. Qi in the 1970s. The author said that because of Mr. Qi during his youth, Mr. Qi unknowingly became a "role model" in his heart, and his influence even exceeded his father.

Select the article "Uncle Qi" in "My Love and My Teacher" to see the author and Mr. Qi Gong's deep friendship.

Uncle Qi

Wen | Yu Ning

"Isn't it fast?" My father said.

I stood up and looked at the man who smiled towards my round -faced man, bowed slightly, and said, "Uncle Qi, you are tough!"

Mr. Qi Gong

The word "uncle" has at least two ways of reading and meaning in Beijing dialect. The first is that the accent is on the word "big", which means that the father's brother is a kind of relative title. The second is the word "grandfather", which means that the rich children, Uncle Kuang. At that time, I heard the man who was called "Uncle Chi Three Brother", and his father was called "Big Brother Yuan Bai". I am confused. If my father is old, it should be called Uncle Xun; if he is long, he should be called Uncle. Hesitated, I according to Beijing's customs. When I was unclear, I picked up the big one -of course, put the intensive sound on the big character.

He pulled my hand and said, "Don't bow, don't bow!" Then he lowered his voice and said, "Except for the portrait of the great man, bow as the old." Speaking of us, we secretly laughed secretly. It was probably at the end of 1969 or early 1970. My mother had just started to work in the school. I was so hard to cook. It was difficult to eat. I had to buy it outside. The scene above happened in front of the Drum Tower, Luxi, Hunan -style Ma Kai Canteen (called Ma Kai Restaurant in front of the Cultural Revolution). Mother is from Hunan. My father and I wanted her, so I went to the Ma Kai Canteen to eat Hunan cuisine. She was often spicy by her mother's "hometown flavor". The "Uncle Qi" that day was Mr. Qi Gong, who was famous later, happened to go there to eat there. When we met, we actually laughed. Rare, so precious, even unforgettable. The name "Uncle Qi" has been used since then. Will use it in the future. It's a pity that I can't hear it.

I have lived in the United States for more than thirty years. Because they taught American American literature in universities, some Chinese neighbors and friends mistakenly believed that I was "American" and often complained to me. They said that their children did not want to communicate with my parents. I hope I will talk to the children. "They" is because most of the families of those families stay in China to get rich, move their wives and children to the United States or Canada to settle, and be a "flying man" themselves, and they can go home once a few months to visit. The conversation with the children is gradually deepening. It is actually relatively simple to understand that the psychological tangling of the boys is that I hope that my father can always be around as the "role model" in their lives. The word was made based on the English "ROLE MODEL", which means that children have a good learning. If there is an adult man with a righteous and optimistic and optimistic adult man in life, they can grow smoothly into the right line. , Optimistic guy. Thinking of his young age, he could not help but worsen: During the "Cultural Revolution", his father was often held in the school to explain the problem and could not go home. Children's psychological problems. What is the reason? Later, I thought about it. The role of his father can be temporarily replaced by other kindness men. Recalling the situation of their teenagers, several gentlemen inadvertently played the role of their parents, such as Professor Bao Tianchi (taboo Gui Jun) of the Department of Biology of Beijing Normal University, Professor Chen Yousong of the Department of Education Psychology, and also Mr. Chen Hongguang, an engineer of the Ministry of Hydropower and the designer of the Beihai Youth Hydropower Station, all played a role model and guide for my psychological growth. However, the longest and most detailed time of the longest and most detailed time is Mr. Qi Gong. They made me understand that a real good man can care for the next generation under pressure, and can carefully maintain a gentle and elegant climate in the rude environment. Franklin, one of the US father, said: "Little candles can project the light far; the good deeds in the turbid world will not turn out like a candlelight." Intersection They are like a bear torch to radiate the light of knowledge and cultivation.

Mr. Qi Gong

After that encounter, my father took me to Nikari Lane, Nancao Factory, Xizhimen Street to visit Uncle Qi twice. After that, I went to the door by myself. I felt a gentle humor in that kind of environment, and I naturally went to the more and more diligent; later I suffered from the Menier syndrome. That is, my aunt), no matter where I go, I have to follow me, for fear that I will fall because of dizziness. It wasn't until Xiao Huai, Sister Xiao Kui and Zhang Wu from Shiyan City, Hubei, and I transferred this task. "Near Zhu Zi Chi" has been following for a long time. I also started to read some Tang poems under the urging of 怹, and wrote writing brushes. Even for a while, I lived in the Aharlet lane. Once I saw the plum blossom painted by the painter surnamed Wang in Rong Baozhai, and was asked to describe it carefully when I returned home. Uncle Qi listened silently, and then said, "This painting is not right." I felt strange at the time: painting children were not good -looking, like unknown. Where is right or wrong?我 probably guessed my thoughts, and then explained that plums grew more in Jiangnan, where there were more rain, so the plum blossoms fell down, like an umbrella, so as not to let the rain soak the flowers rot. Mr. Wang opened the plum blossoms to the sky and became sunflowers. How silly is plum? The painting can't make a big family. At that time, I also tampered with Zhang Jiuling's poem: "Then I simply said 'Plum Blossom has the original heart and refused to open it at the sky." It wasn't until later that I wrote the "On the Book of the Books" to the 98th. Artist: It is also self -reluctant and the true, and it is also charming.

It is also known that dogs and horses are often difficult, and they are not like Qinghong painting ghosts.

Mr. Qi Gong's painting

Ren Zhen is not "serious", but the innocence of Ren, uniformly opposite "holding", sometimes sitting in danger, sometimes naive. Of course, art encourages innovation, but this innovation should be based on the laws of nature, rather than applying some things that are difficult to discern from the audience. Later, I read the theory of Swiss psychologist Jung. When I knew that biologically played the role of social people, they needed to prepare masks. Everyone was. Reading "The Biography of Historical Records", the combination of the two, could not help but think of the words and poems of Uncle Qi. Critical.然 This attitude of respecting the laws of nature also runs through the interpretation of Tang poetry. When talking about the poem "After the Food" of Wang Ji, I asked me what Chu Doudou was. I said smoothly, "It's probably the beans in Hubei." Knowing that you will edit it. "Then carefully tell me that Chu Dou is actually the fruit of Mu Jing. Not only is Hubei, we also have Beijing. Ye Zi was a pair of one -to -one ... I was really ignorant at the time, I didn't know how to cherish this rare opportunity, but I felt embarrassed. ， Seeing my mind, I was bitter and told me that reading ancient articles and poetry could not look at the righteousness, because the language was constantly evolving. If you want to understand the original meaning, you have to conscientiously check the dictionary and look at your feet carefully. Later, I tried to overcome my impetuousness and slowly entered the door of classical literature.

After the ears, I finally knew a few more words than most of my peers. Unfortunately, my nature is dull, and the half -sized child is somewhat rebellious. When I was ordered to recite Tang poetry, I often made strange mistakes, including carrying Du Fu's famous sentences into "listening to the apes with three tears." Uncle Qi heard a surprised expression, punished gently, playing my forehead gently, and said, "How does three drops of tears flow? One drop of left eye, two drops of right eyes?" Then he turned out the "Water Jing Water Scripture" "Water Sutra" Note "and" Element Poetry Collection ". Ha, in both books, there are "Badong Three Gorges Wuxia Chiefs, Ape Mingson Three Tears Sticking". I was unconvinced and asked, "How about the three tears flowing? Human tears or monkey tears?" Uncle Qi laughed like Maitreya after listening. This made me experience the elegant harmony after Ma Kai Canteen.

In 1984, I entered the graduate student of British and American Literature, Beijing University of Foreign Languages. I heard the theory of Western formalist literary criticism from the mentor Zhou Yiliang. At that time, Uncle Qi had moved to the Xiaohong Tower (Mr. Known as the Floating Pastel Building), which was moved to the North Normal University, and was only dozens of martial arts from his father's residence. When I go home from the north, I always have to see it. One day, I was tilted to the bed exhaustedly, and saw me here, and said, "I didn't fall asleep last night, I didn't have the spirit today. You said something fun, help me solve it." I talked about Mr. Zhou The "new criticism" in the United States. In the 1950s, it was a bit old. However, several concepts such as "unfamiliar", "ambiguous", and "irony" are still very fun. Talking, the tired eyes of gradually brightened, suddenly jumped from the bed, patted the bed and said, "Now you know how three tears flow?" I stunned for a while before I understood, It turned out that my childish and impetuousness had always been pretending to be in my heart. As soon as I have a chance, I will knock on me, hoping that I will overcome the weakness of personality. Under the inspiration of this conversation, I found that Western formalism and literature theory can help us interpret Tang Shi. Later, I also wrote an article to analyze Du Fu's "Eight Songs of Qiu Xing" in the theory of Western formalism. Uncle Qi has a spirit in heaven, will he laugh again after knowing it?

In those years, I followed Uncle Qi, not only did I read some books and practiced writing brush characters, but also came into contact with some people who could be used as examples. Opening the "Qi Gong Diary" published by the Chinese Book Company in 2012, you can see Yu Ninglai, Zhou Zhenfu, and other similar sentences in a certain year, one day, and other similar sentences. Those who do not understand the inside may think that Yu Ning is also a Confucianism, and Wanwan can't think of a teenage ignorant boy. Several old gentlemen are still impressive, such as Mr. Zhou Zhenfu of Zhonghua Book Company and Mr. Tang Chang (zhǎng). Both of them wore deep glasses, both in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Mr. Zhou's accent seemed to be softer and glutinous. He often wore a slightly white blue Zhongshan dress, but cleaned it up. It looks simple and elegant. Many years later, my father -in -law accidentally talked about a trivial matter, which made me admire Mr. Zhou Lao's more: Mr. Zhou came to my father -in -law's office a day and had to give him some money. My father -in -law was unknown, so I was at a loss. Mr. Zhou explained that the day before, the Chinese Book Bureau sent a car to pick him up somewhere, and then sent him a car home after the meeting. There are regulations for using a car in the unit that a certain level of cadres can. Mr. Zhou thinks that the level is not enough, so you cannot use a bus. Since it is used, you must pay gasoline fees. In conjunction with Mr. Zhou's frugality on weekdays, I immediately thought of Su Shi's "Qian Chibi Fu": "Between the husband and the earth, there is the owner of the world. Mr. Zhou's Gao Fengliang Festival and his glutinous Won Nong softly stacked, but it was always difficult to do. Mr. Tang Changzheng

Mr. Tang Changzheng came to the Minhalie Lane for about 1973. Because the rainy rain even made Uncle Qi's Dongshan Wall deformed, it would be bad. At that time, Uncle Qi was borrowed to the punctuation of the Chinese Book Bureau "The Draft of the Qing Dynasty", and Mr. Tang Changzheng seemed to be a coordination responsibility in the work of the 24th history of punctuation, which may be regarded as a first -level leader. Uncle Qi wrote a self -deprecating poem for the house: "The east wall was drumped by the rain, my bed was on the wall of the wall. The belly was studying the right army for many years, and now it will be Wang Yifu." (Based on memory, it is inevitable. But this is the case.) It was sent to the colleagues of China as the asset of laughter. Unexpectedly, Mr. Tang knew it, and first wrote a letter of condolences -I vaguely remembered that there was a poem in the letter -later came to visit the door. When Mr. Tang came, we had moved the bed to the roots of the west wall to stay away from the dangerous place. I put the chair in the place where I was close to the bed, and I tried to avoid danger as much as possible. However, Mr. Tang moved his chair near the east wall, and then sat in a dangerous place, with a soft speech, and there was a lot of talked with the Jin people. I poured tea first, and then stood up, while listening to the two elders talking, drumming in my heart: In case the guest really became Wang Yan, how can I explain it! Fortunately, the guests were sent to the courtyard as usual. I sent it to the west exit of the Passenger Lane, referring to the guests, the Shunnan Grass Factory went north, and the exit was the West Zhimen Inner Street. There are 27 bus and 5, 7, and 11 trams 5, 7, and 11 to facilitate guests home. Come back to the guest, I asked Uncle Qi the guests why they had to sit on the critical wall. Mr. Tang said that although Mr. Tang was a negative point of responsibility, he had no real power, so he could not solve practical difficulties for colleagues. I was helpless in my heart, so I came to visit and sat down under the critical wall to express their willingness to share with friends. In this way, Mr. Tang immediately became tall in my heart. The sound of his sits there as if he was a live demonstration of the name of Li Lingshi, "the warmth and the fragrance of the wind, because of the wind and the fragrance", it made me never forget. Later, I read "The New Words of the World", which said that Chen Zhongju was "words as a scholar and a model of behavior". Immediately in my mind, Mr. Tang's big husband's momentum appeared. Probably from then on, the hero in my mind is no longer a soldier of the sand field, but a scholar who replaced it under the wall. The behavior of Mr. Zhou and Tang has become a model in my heart. If someone wrote "New World of New World" now, I will plead the author to write the two Mr. Zhou and Tang into the "virtue chapter".

In addition to receiving visitors in the small south house "Heyou", Uncle Qi also went out to visit friends. I remember it clearly that when I went to the East Liuli Factory, I visited Mr. Li Mengdong. From Xiaoli Lane to Liulichang, you must take the 7 or 11 -track tram to the factory bridge to change the car. Finally, it takes more than forty minutes. After getting off the car, you have to walk through Xiao Hutong, so he is rich along the way. Mr. Qi Gong said casually to say some old and literati things. I forgot most of it. I only remember that Mr. Li Mengdong was an apprentice in the mounting shop. He paid attention to himself and made a hard work. He not only learned culture, but also slowly developed the ability to identify cultural relics. He and Uncle Qi were first originated from the mounting painting. Later, he was still in the old bookstore that Uncle Qi needed the book, and it was cheap. Later, it was the opinions and information on the appraisal of cultural relics. That day we went to visit Mr. Li because he heard that he had a disease that was difficult to treat. His yard is obviously lower than the road in the alley. I also observed that the other yard nearby is like this, as if it was a yard and one pit. Uncle Qi explained that the pavement was higher than the yard because the old Beijing garbage recycling industry was underdeveloped, and the Beijingers burned the coal ball stove in winter. The furnace ash cannot be delivered in time, and it fell near the hutong. The day is long, the road is getting higher and higher, and the current situation is formed. Since the 1950s, there has been a relatively modern garbage evacuation system, which has improved.

Someone Li was visiting in his illness. He was very happy and entertained enthusiastically. He poured two large bowls of boiled water with the rough porcelain bowls used for meals. I was thirsty all the way, and I was no polite, holding a big bowl and drinking. Mr. Qi Gong also took a few big mouths. Then ask the condition, what medicine to take, how to raise, and so on. Mr. Li said that the conditions are better than before, and you can eat "two chickens" (two eggs) every day. In the conversation, I asked with no head and mind: "Mr. Li, where is Hebei?" Mr. Li Mengdong blurted out: "Hengshui." Then I asked, "How do you know that I am from Hebei?" In this question, I was stupid. Really, how do I know he is from Hebei? Uncle Qi hurriedly apologized and said that the child had no rules, don't go to your heart. He followed his father and had no heart, and his ears were quite sharp. Mr. Li asked: "Isn't this your son?" Uncle Qi replied: "Return to the son! It's so unconventional. This is someone's younger son." Mr. Li suddenly realized and said, " Child. No wonder! When I heard that Mr. Yu met, the four people in the group except him came from four different places. In the morning, Mr. Yu listened. In the afternoon, he told A dialect A, told B dialect ... … "I never heard that my father still had this kind of ability, let alone the mounting master of Liulichang could know my father's personal and such story. On the way home, Uncle Qi was silent for a while. I thought it was because of my rudeness. Unexpectedly, I suddenly said to me, "You are stupid, but this ear recognizes the true voice! It seems that you can't waste your dad's inheritance, you still learn the language well!" Uncle Qi let me start again. Fate is to make people, now I have taught Americans American literature and Western literature in the United States for more than 30 years! A good mentor is a word to call students. Good students should repay the mentor for a lifetime effort. The college entrance examination was resumed in 1977. I applied for the English department and settled. Try again in 1978, as expected. When I chose the Chinese Department, I might not have to sing this "second -entered palace" to successfully enter school. But I am afraid of the influence of the two parents. I do n’t want to have a green light for me in their field, and I ’m not willing to go wherever they go. Recalling the boring kung fu of words, practicing hearing, and speaking in the university, if you enter the Chinese department, it will be exempt from this. But I do n’t regret it now, because although it is difficult, after all, I have come over by my own strength, and I do n’t rely on the elders ’shadow. What's more, the current feeling is to understand the extent that the American culture is almost equal to the Chinese culture, as if it is one person and two lives, and at the same time absorb nutrients from the two cultures. I was unfortunately born. Before the fourth grade of elementary school, the "Cultural Revolution" set off a storm, which made me lose the opportunity to receive regular elementary and secondary education. Private learning experience, Besides, inherited in the home of the national treasure master and the circle of friends! This experience made me have a very unstable stage of psychological development in my youth and was guided by an excellent "parent role model". Although the social environment forced my father to separate with my father for a long time, the role of my father was played by Uncle Qi and those of those of the noble personality. In this regard, I am deeply grateful, thank Uncle Qi for his adoption and education, thank my father for making up those gentlemen, thanking the older generation of intellectuals for guiding my life for me, thanks to the two types of China and the West Culture has a deeper understanding. How can my future life not be kept in the communication and communication of these two cultures?

In the late autumn of 1999, when the author returned to Beijing to visit relatives, he visited Mr. Qi Gong

The last time I saw Uncle Qi was at the beginning of the autumn and winter in 1999. When I return to China to visit my relatives, of course, I have to visit the elderly. It's very happy to talk about each other. I wanted to queue up, and immediately mentioned a new topic, so I sat down and continued to talk. Repeatedly, although I am dumb, I also understand the reluctance of love. So I suddenly thought about it and asked, "Can you send me the daily platform you used?" Put it in a big cowhide paper envelope and hand it in my hands. I hesitated again to look at the blocks of "declined photos" hanging on the wall. He said, "Pick! Pick off!" I took it ashamed to take it off, please take care of the younger brother who took care of Uncle Qi for many years to take pictures for us. American writer Emerson said: "People are the gods standing in the ruins." It means that once they walk out of the ruins, people are still true God. He also said: "The righteousness of the universe is reciprocating, and through my body, it makes me connecting with God." In the special historical period of China, culture was transformed into a ruin. And I was fortunate to have encountered many god -like scholars in that ruins. Their example guided me to get out of the ruins and gradually connected my spirit to their flesh. There is a papers that commemorate the ancestors of the ancestors called "Fire Fire", which means that learning is like fire, and scholars are like firewood. The re -salary in the fire, the salary is full. From ancient times to the present, how many scholars are willing to make salary, so that the fire of knowledge has been passed to today! Our scholars should care and call the younger generation like their ancestors, so that they can see the beauty of life other than utilitarian. In this way, they can go through the period of psychological restlessness and become good people who are upright and healthy.

The famous scholar Yu Ning's prose "My Love and My Teacher" was officially published by the People's Literature Publishing House in the near future. Mr. Yu Ning is the son of Mr. Yu Min, a well -known contemporary linguist, and is currently teaching at the Department of British and American Literature at the University of Washington University in the United States. This collection of essays compiled the author's occasional articles in recent years. Some of these articles recall the deeds of his father, some recall the deeds of his father's close friends Qi Gong, Chai Dezheng, Li Changzhi, etc. Good and other articles, the content is what the author has heard.
