However, if my knowledge structure is gradually aging without reading - I am afraid that I will not be able to keep up. I have said that the secret of Chinese literature is "accumulation". This is true for students and still for adults.

I remember reading the previous book on May 24th. I don’t have time to read during the winter and summer vacations, but you know the reason.

Only after the spring and autumn classes start, can you have time to study. You can’t teach and train people. I’m too busy!

However, if my knowledge structure is gradually aging without reading - I am afraid that I will not be able to keep up, I have said that the secret of Chinese literature is "accumulation". This is true for students and still for adults.

Especially for an adult: if he says his Chinese is so good, you ask him to "wipe his butt in the net bag - show his hands" and write an article to you improvise. If he writes it in a bullshit, it must be "a leash on a chicken butt - nonsense"!

Starting from September 19, I re-read the book I couldn't finish on May 24 - Liu Qingbang 's "Black and White Men and Women". I found that I had forgotten about more than half of what I had read before, so I had to read it again. Only in this way can I connect it. Finally, last week, I finished reading it all, and I felt that this book was very close to life.

I am a child from a coal mine. My father and younger brother are all coal miners. My hometown is in a high-yield and high-quality coal mine in the west. Although the environment is blocked, the "Taixi Anthracite" produced in my hometown is famous all over the world for its "high heat, less smoke and dust, and black and shiny as crystals".

Since childhood, our whole family and even the people in the mine have lived on "coal". The "black gold" that can be seen everywhere in life has left a deep impression on us. People who live on coal have a wealth of economic life, but their living environment is closed and narrow. They live day after day in such a narrow environment surrounded by mountains, year after year, if he (she) does not like to read and the spiritual world is not fulfilling enough, then the spirit will be extremely empty and many "mouses" will appear. Therefore, in the small coal mine where people from all over the country in my hometown, many incredible stories will always be born in my memory.

The wonderfulness of these stories is no less than that of the coal mine novels written by Liu Qingbang. In the first few articles of this official account, I once imitated the "Biography of Hulanhe" by Xiao Hong and wrote some stories that happened in my hometown, but the "limited space" and "shortness of writing" made me feel that I still didn't write it happily and completely (I dare not say "perfect" here).

That narrow and long Baili mine area once imprisoned my childhood and youth, making me particularly yearn for the outside world. Although coal solved the people's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and made people live in a generally well-off level, because they were in a monotonous and closed environment in the deep mountains and valleys, the people in the coal mine were more keen on leaving the coal mine to "take the world" outside, of course, this group of people also included me.

As an adult, I walked out of the mine, especially to the south. Looking back on my past life, I felt that everything that was related to the "coal mine" was very close!

Therefore, I fell in love with Liu Qingbang's works. Henan writer Liu Qingbang is a writer who is good at writing about "coal mine life" in the literary world. No writer in China can compare with Liu Qingbang's life in coal mine! This also makes me particularly love every work he wrote!

This book describes a large coal mine named Longmo. One night after autumn, a gas explosion occurred underground, killing 138 miners in one blow. The deceased is gone, and life must continue. The orphan and widowed mother behind the deceased face the reconstruction of life and emotions. However, how easy is reconstruction? The novel takes three families of miners who died as the main line and tells the moving story of ordinary people warming each other in the face of disasters, self-esteem, self-reliance and self-reliance.

After the explosion of the retired old coal miner Zhou Tianjie's son Zhou Qifan's son died in the gas explosion, his daughter-in-law Zheng Baolan and grandson Xiaolai were left behind. Zhou Tianjie was worried all day long that Zheng Baolan would take his grandson Xiaolai to remarry and leave. He had lost his son and could not lose his grandson again. How to keep his daughter-in-law and grandson is a heart-wrenching problem for the old man.

Zheng Baolan's best friend Wei Junmei also lost her husband Chen Longmin. Her sister-in-law Shen Yingjuan and her brother-in-law Chen Longquan began to blatantly bully her and her two children in an attempt to remarry.

The unmarried young man Jiang Zhifang, who is very capable in the coal mine, remembered this miserable and beautiful widow because he saw Wei Junmei crying and fainting for her husband's tragic death at the wellhead. He then fell in love with the other party and started his hard pursuit. However, Wei Junmei was full of worries and felt ashamed, and never agreed to Jiang Zhifang's pursuit.

Zheng Baolan's sister-in-law Chu Guofang - her brother Zheng Baoming - also left in the mine accident. His father Zheng Haisheng told Zheng Baolan worriedly that Chu Guofang would remarry with his daughter Xiaoyun, and he would also share half of the pension. This made Zheng Baolan's father Zheng Haisheng very worried.

Qin Fengling is a miner's wife with a strong desire. After her husband Tao Gang was killed, she first went on a blind date and immediately married the old bachelor You Sipin. The two lived in a stalemate at first, but when Tao Xiaoqiang, a son of youth rebellion, came, the family was immediately shaky, and Yu Sipin was so angry that he moved back to the single building to live. It was not until Qin Fengling sent her son to the barber shop to be an apprentice, and then went to pick up You Sipin in person, and the other party came back to make up as before.

The ending of the novel does not describe the ending of these families who died in the work. It is just that at the initiative of Jiang Zhifang, the mine established a "Youth Volunteer Service Team" to help the families of the workers who died in the work. They went to Zhou Tianjie's house, Wei Junmei's house, Zheng Haisheng's house... and enthusiastically helped them solve some difficulties encountered in life.

In fact, the "mine disaster" is a very terrible thing. If the death is the endless topic of conversation among the miners and the trouble for the mine managers! It would be fine if there was no dead person. Even if it was seriously injured, it was just to pay some money to support him.

I remember that shortly after the first grade school started, I went to find a classmate to play. Her house lived near the mining hospital. At that time, our class monitor broke his arm and was hospitalized here. That classmate and I guessed which ward the class monitor would be in?

I just looked inside by a window and happened to see a miner rescued from an underground gas explosion. I will never forget that terrible scene! He was treated with his back facing the window glass with his back facing the window. His back was nothing different from the braised braised pork . There was no hair on his head. He was burned black and sat straight on the bed with his back facing the window. I stretched my head and happened to see his extremely terrifying back...

When I first saw this scene, I was so scared that I fell down from the windowsill and sat on the ground. I couldn't speak for a while. The classmate kept asking me what I saw? Why is this expression? ! Is the squad leader inside? My stunned look made her very puzzled.

Afterwards, I was still in shock and described the terrible scenes I saw to her. Later I learned that it was a gas explosion in the mine...

Another time, a mine accident occurred in a small coal mine nearby. Those privately mined small coal mines were illegally mined, and the safety facilities were very inadequate. It was common for mine accidents to occur. Moreover, since they are not real employees in the mine and do not know where the blind migrant workers came from, they were sent to the mining hospital after work injuries, and the doctors were unwilling to accept them for good treatment.

It was the autumn of 1993. During my hospitalization with the pierced appendicitis, I saw a miner covered in black and covered with coal ash, with red blood flowing out of his ears. He kept wailing and was rushed to the hospital by two workers.

Since it was sent from a nearby small coal mine, the doctor was very indifferent. There was a male doctor with a big nose and glasses. He actually ran to the billiard room behind the hospital to see people pounding billiards. The dirty and dark miner found the billiard room. He kept talking nice things to the doctor in a low voice and begged him to treat it. There might be no oil. The doctor was smoking a cigarette while swearing indifferently and letting him go away...

I was really surprised to see that life was ignored like this!

Later, it is said that the miner who kept wailing still died soon.

From this I remembered the male doctor with a big nose and glasses. His "indifference" towards the miners and his later "fashion" with the family of cadres, which left a deep impression on me!

The second year after joining the work, at the night market in the mining area in summer, the wife of the Party Secretary of the Mine Party Committee was an ugly woman with a face full of macaque. She was taking her daughter to the night market. The doctor of the big nose came forward to chat with her attentively. He was at most twenty-five or six years old at that time, but the wife of the Party Secretary of the mine was an old woman over fifty years old. However, the doctor of the big nose was still chatting with her flatteringly, looking very patient, which made the old woman feel confident and thought she was a "28-year-old beauty"! The male doctor who was so handsome that he couldn't help but show his attention when he saw her...

I looked carefully: Isn't this the male doctor with a big nose and glasses who smoked cigarettes and slapped the miner with his mouth and refused to rescue him?

He was extremely enthusiastic about "life" at this moment. Even though this "life" has become old, ugly and vulgar, his eyes shining, as if he had seen a young beautiful girl with a beautiful face!

There are so many "black materials" like this in coal mines. Liu Qingbang wrote a very famous "black materials story" - "Shenmu", which was adapted into the movie "Blind Well", with Wang Baoqiang participating. This is a big "black materials". What I witnessed is a "small black spot" that is insignificant!

Yes, coal is "black", and most of the stories related to them are "black people". Although they shine and heat when burning, they can bring "warmth" and "light" to people...

Thank you for watching!
