Xin'an Evening News Anhui.com Dawan Client News On the morning of the 28th, Yue Nan, a famous writer and author of " Flying South and Returning North", appeared at the Binhu International Convention and Exhibition Center to talk about the cultural masters of the Republic of China in the Xinhua Bookstore reading space of the 12th Hefei International Cultural Expo, and shared his latest work "The University and Master - Biography of Mei Yiqi, the President of Tsinghua University". The famous media person and scholar Zhang Yuzheng was invited to participate in the dialogue, and the Da'an Huishui delegation broadcast the dialogue process of the two.
Yue Nan (central) wrote a book at the Cultural Expo
and referenced "Madman Liu Wendian"
"Thank you for coming here to meet, it's already very early for me, but I'm still late." Obviously, "Announcement" at 9:30 in the morning is not Yue Nan's regular schedule, and Yue Nan's opening remark is Shandong local accent. Yue Nan's original name is Yue Yuming , from Zhucheng, Shandong Province. He was born in 1962. He graduated from the Department of Literature of the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts and the graduate class of the Lu Xun School of Literature of Beijing Normal University. He has served as a publicity officer, editor, and a writer resident at Tsinghua University in Taiwan. He has written twelve archaeological documentary works such as " Fengxue Dingling " and " Resurrected Legion ". It has been published in English, Japanese, Korean, French and German, and has been distributed overseas for more than one million copies. There are more than ten biographical works such as "Chen Yinke and Fu Sinian". The trilogy of "Traveling South and Returning North" caused a sensation at home and abroad. "Asia Weekly" commented that it was one of the top ten best Chinese books in the world in 2011, calling it the first epic masterpiece that reproduces the drastic changes in the fate of the last group of masters in China. The comment said: The author's sigh is deep and sad, which is terrifying - there is no master again after the master has gone far away. Zhang Yuzheng sighed that it is rare for Yue Nan's books to have such a best-selling achievement among literary and historical books.
Yue Nan said bluntly that he had been with Zhang Yuzheng, a young scholar who studied Liu Wendian, a madman in the Republic of China, for a long time. "Mr. Zhang's "Liu Wendian" has a great influence. When I wrote "The Miser of the South and Returning to the North", I referenced some, but I didn't copy it, and it was a little more full. A fellow villager who reads "Liu Wendian" and applied to Anhui University, but it felt different when he came. The times are different, and the characters are different."
"The Past of Li Zhuang" starts a grand narrative
Why did Teacher Yue Nan do archaeological documentary literature in his early days, so why did he turn to intellectuals and education in the Republic of China? Yue Nan said that after the interview with Sanxingdui in 2003, he came to the square to have tea, and he always felt that something big was not over. The idea that jumped into my mind was to go to , , Lizhuang Town, Yibin City. Yue Nan has written more than a dozen documentary works on archaeological topics. The reference articles and interviewed archaeologists from time to time mentioned Li Zhuang, a mysterious place in Li Zhuang - a place where several academic institutions were exiled by the Central Research Institute of the Anti-Japanese War, China Construction Society , etc. During this corner of southern Sichuan, scholars have created a wonderful legend in academic history and wrote a heroic page of Chinese intellectuals. The former site of the China Construction Society, which was exiled here, was the place where Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin and his family lived; "Border" was the offices of a group of masters from the Central Research Institute, Li Ji, Dong Zuobin, Li Fanggui, Wu Dingliang and others worked in Banliao outside Lizhuang, as well as temples and buildings where teachers and students of Tongji University live. Listening to the touching stories of the masters, the birth of "The Past of Li Zhuang", the predecessor of "Floating South and Returning North", was the birth of "The Past of Li Zhuang", which is also the origin of Yuenan's "grand narrative".
In addition to this corner of southern Sichuan, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, there were Chongqing, Chengdu and Kunming, which were considered as the cultural centers of China at that time. "After writing, Li Zhuang felt that there was something else to write. Those who came from Changsha, Kunming, and those who came from the Central Academy of Sciences, were difficult to separate from those who came from Tsinghua University, Beijing University, and many masters did not write about it. Let's find a way to make up for it in the future." What Yue Nan said was not a false statement. He planned to create another "Shi Yi" that traveled south to the north to complete the shortcomings, but now Yue Nan said bluntly that he was too busy. His plan was to give this book in 2025.
Zongyuan assembly line cannot produce the "master"
"After "The "South and Return to the North" came out, the response in Taiwan was also very good. Taiwan institutions hoped to write such a book, so I went to Tsinghua University in Taiwan. They wanted me to write "The Great Biography of Mei Yiqi", and I agreed at that time. It was not easy to write. Mr. Mei Yiqi was taciturn, but he still made it slowly." Among the masters of the Republic of China that Yue Nan had studied, Chen Yin Ke and Fu Sinian are his most touching figures. Of course, there is also the book "Mei Yiqi, the president of Tsinghua University who has few great words" written for him. "His three students won awards in the world, including Li Zhengdao, Yang Zhenning, and Li Yuanzhe. All three of them are students of Mei Yiqi as the principal. When they won the award, they received the passport of the Republic of China and were Chinese." Yang Zhenning and Li Zhengdao won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957, and Li Yuanzhe won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1986.
Speaking of today's universities, it is difficult to produce masters again. Yue Nan said bluntly that this matter is "Qian Xuesen's question". It is hard to say so bluntly, "Independence, spiritual freedom, thoughts of freedom are not officials, or anything else, the premise is freedom, only high achievements can be achieved after research. If it is just a screw, it is on the assembly line. It is difficult for you to win an award for the assembly line. Because it is done by this job, mold production." Yue Nan said bluntly, there is no need to reject better conditions, "But in 1941, Tsinghua University held its 30th anniversary in Kunming, and the United States sent a telegram to congratulate the Chinese on building Tsinghua in thirty years. First-class universities, like Harvard, Yale, Stanford, this is not a nonsense. After Yang Zhenning and Li Zhengdao came out, he quickly won the Nobel Prize. "
" No Questions in the West and East " Watch "My tears in three times and crying three times
2018 Li Fangfang director, Zhang Ziyi , Huang Xiaoming , Wang Leehom, and Zhang Zhen starring "My Questions in the West and East", Yue Nan watched it three times, "Every time I'm crying. That era is not easy, and it's very touching to recall that era again." Yue Nan was also particularly happy The student and the teacher stopped the course and listened to the sound of the rain quietly. "The clip of listening to the rain is very touching. The past of Southwest Associated University, in fact, Shen Guangyao played by Wang Leehom is prototyped. Later, he died in the collision. He is a student of Tsinghua University. It’s just that the movie moved the 1937 Battle of the Shanghai War to Kunming in 1942. "No Questions on the West" was filmed very carefully. Principal Mei Yiqi's words are very real, what is true, what is done, what you do and what you hear, there is a kind of peace and joy that overflows from the depths of the heart without regret or shame."
"No Questions on the West" Stills (Oriental IC)
"The "No Questions" was filmed in 11 years and only played in 2017. If you can survive in these seven years, you can screen it. If you can't survive, you will die." The reason why Yue Nan talked about this is because he doesn't want to re-work his old business and turn his works into documentary , but if he wants to make a movie, Yue Nan also feels much resistance. "I have been a documentary director for eight years. I have to make a big investment in documentaries. Many companies are talking about filming and television shooting in "The South and the North" filming and television shooting, but we are afraid that we can't." Yue Nan said bluntly that writers now have freedom in creating, publishing, and film and television production, but broadcasting is disciplined.
Douban 8.4 I am quite happy
"Some people call me rough online, and my language is very poor. Of course, some people also said that Douban scored 8.4 points. I usually scored 60 points in school, and I am quite happy 84 points. It's nothing. What I write is literature, and the language should be smoother." In the face of readers' praise and criticism, Yue Nan has already seen it relatively indifferently. In fact, these controversies have always existed. Some say that Yue Nan's writing skills or language is old enough to be vigorous and lively, while others think that the vulgar language lacks the elegant literary spirit and has an unpleasant evil spirit and aura of the world. But Yue Nan felt that he had always been creating according to the method Fu Sinian said, "It uses the language and writing structure of the people of Shandong's hometown, and some sentences are directly applied to the article in the conventional sayings of Shandong people.”
Signature for readers
In fact, before the pen tip turned to the master of the Republic of China, Yue Nan had already written works, including "The Wind and Snow Dingling Mausoleum - The Record of the Xuan Palace Cave of the Ming Dingling Mausoleum", "The Resurrection of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang", "The Sunset Imperial Mausoleum - The Record of the Treasures of the Underground Palace of the Eastern Tombs of Qing Dynasty", "The Peerless Military Saint - The Deciphered Record of Yinque Mountain", etc., are also jokingly claimed by fans that they can transform into a manuscript "Tomb Raiders' Chronicles" in minutes. Yue Nan introduced that he currently has a book to write in Anyang excavation, "The beginning of the excavation of China, the topic of the archaeological excavation of Yinxu is being done. The last book of my archaeological series was originally intended to be written in Dunhuang, but it took less than ten years to finish it. I am more impetuous now, and I have to suppress this. There are still five provinces to leave now, so I won’t come out after I’ve finished my journey. After this period of time, I decided to go to seclusion and create, and strive to take down Anyang Yinxu in the past two years. "
Furthermore, Yue Nan's writing plan is mentioned earlier, "There are still some masters who have not written about "Traveling the South and Returning to the North". We are planning to publish another book "Select the Leaves" to see if it can be released on the 80th anniversary of the Anti-Japanese War in 2025. ”
