bad news came after supper.

That day I was walking along the Anning River . Neon lights are shining, flowers and plants are lush, and the clouds gather and disperse on the distant mountains.

In short, everything looks peaceful and peaceful.

Lao Xia’s phone call is coming. He said something happened to Wu Hong.

Then he emphasized: Something big happened.

was shocked. But when I thought about seeing Wu Hong send a message on his Moments just now, I knew he was in Croatia, what could happen? may not be drunk and smashed into other people's glass windows? Just like when he got drunk, he scratched out all the invoices on the counter one by one, and he saw that he won the prize?

Lao Xia said slowly: He passed away.

The head buzzed. Died? How is that possible? Immediately, a trace of speculation flashed through my mind: Did there be a traffic accident?

Lao Xia said: Sudden death.

hung up the phone, his hands were shaking, and his gentle steps became heavier. To be honest, I would rather be a traffic accident in because it is an irresistible external factor. That way, it might be a little bit better.

Back in the hotel, I couldn't sleep all night, and I saw Fatty Wu (he and I joked about Fatty, it's been a few years since. Although he wasn't a fat man later).

Know Wu Hong is in a small place called Huangjuping . It seems that I bought two books like "The Essence of Digest" from a street stall. There is a text about Qingcheng Mountain on the , which is clean and spiritual. Look at the author, it is called Wu Hong. Just remember.

The first time I met Wu Hong, but the impression was bad. That was late 1996 or early 1997. Wu Hong's father-in-law and famous poet Mr. Zhang Xinquan hosted the "Star" Poetry Magazine and published a 50 poetry selection of "Star". After the book was published, a grand discussion meeting was held, and I was able to accompany the last seat with Master Xinquan.

Master Xinquan and I are fellow villagers and are both rich and down-to-earth people. When I was in high school, I wrote to him for advice, saying that he would not abandon me just because I was a nameless rural boy. Every time I reply, I always feel serious and meticulous. So, he is my teacher. Dear teacher. The only close teacher.

I have also called other people teachers, either because they are old or they are teasing, just like my mother is also called Teacher Zhou. : I can only call you Teacher Zhang, I am from the bottom of my heart. This must be explained in particular.

had lunch at the same table, I remember Ran Yunfei (I don’t think we would have the chance to sit in the same office for a few years later), Yin Shijiang (Brother Shijiang has gone west), and it seems that there is Cheng Baolin (Brother Baolin has settled in the United States for many years), and Wu Hong.

A table of people, drinking and talking, and caring about shooting skills, is very lively. Only Wu Hongyin was in the corner, without saying a word, drinking wine, and picking up less vegetables. When talking to him, two of the three sentences were oh oh oh um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um Why is this fat man more proud than me? I feel very unhappy.

Later, I became a friend and I asked him about the past. He said, it was unfair. I had a toothache that day and my face was swollen.

It was a meeting in 1998. At that time, I returned to Zigong from Chengdu and made a living by typing. During the Spring Festival, Wu Hong followed Xinquan Master back to his hometown and lived in a teacher's guesthouse near Dongguo.

On the evening, I went to visit Xinquan Master. Wu Hong came up and held a picture of the Chengdu Business Daily the day before in his hand. He said, there is your article on it, you must have not read it yet, so I bought you one.

When I met, I had forgotten what I talked about, but the newspaper he bought for me was deeply remembered. This also shows that Wu Hong is a careful person and a person who is willing to think about others. Although is a slight effort, it is not possible to weigh it with many people. Including me.

It seems that it was the meeting or not soon after that, Wu Hong suggested that I write a book. He said that he saw a book review about Fang Long from me, and he also likes Fang Long. Moreover, he said that the illustrations of Fang Long's paintings are very interesting. Can you choose some of his illustrations? If you come again, you can start with the intention and make additional performances to become a book?

I happily agreed.

Soon after, I went to Chengdu to visit him. At that time, in addition to working in the Literary and Art Club, Wu Hong also rented an office in Shima Lane to do some planning for booksellers in his spare time. The one who is next to him is Yang Junwei Kunzhong, who later became friends. After meeting

, he finished his business in just a few words. He called Yang's twin heroes and several other booksellers and rushed to the restaurant in a mighty manner. Big fish, big meat, soju beer, just put some up and set them up randomly. We were all young at that time, and some of us had poor bodies. There are some time to squander.

After drinking, I carried a large bag of books prepared for me by Wu Hong and embarked on the return journey. He stood outside the taxi, waved and smiled, Fatty Nie, today is not counted, I have drunk it again another day.

I said, OK, Fatty Wu, I won’t be afraid of you.

, although the new spring master has made iron and pulled fiber, he can't drink, which once made me very puzzled and sad. I remember that when I came to "Science Fiction World" in 1996 for his recommendation, we had dinner in Yulin at noon that day. He ordered the dishes and ordered two more bottles of beer.

Naturally, I thought these two bottles of beer should be one bottle for each of us. But when I poured wine for him, he said, I won’t drink. You can drink it alone.

At that time, Master Xinquan and I were not as familiar with each other as we did later. The meal was as painful as we were.

Xinquan Master has always opposed me drinking heavily, and of course he also opposed Wu Hong. Occasionally, Wu Hong and I were drinking heavily and turned to him. When we met next time, he would either persuade him with great care or criticize him directly and severely.

But the most I drank in my life, I was so drunk that I took the initiative to call Xinquan Master.

The situation was like this: In the restaurant of the poet Ermao, Yin Zijun invited me and Wu Hong to have a drink. I drank a total of five kilograms of plum wine , a homemade in the restaurant. Among them, Yinzijun is less than a pound. In other words, Wu Hong and I each had nearly two kilograms (it was necessary to remove the ones that spilled outside when pouring wine). Although the degree of plum wine is not high, it is at least forty degrees.

After drinking, Wu Hong was normal, but I was very excited. When I talked to Wu Hong about Xinquan Master, I immediately called him. That time I was not criticized because Master Xinquan knew that I was so drunk.

Why did Yinzijun treat him?

The reason for the incident is related to Wu Hong and me (this is a bit nonsense, isn’t it just the two of us who he invited)? For a while, Yin Zijun was always looking for a job, a suitable job. That time, I thought of Wu Hong. At that time, he had left the literary and artistic club to go to the newly established publishing company under Wenxuan.

I invited Wu Hong to drink at a restaurant on Beimen Bridge. The rice wine brewed by my mother was praised by Wu Hong (we are closer in terms of diet and wine taste). I asked him to take care of him and brought Yin Zijun to their company no matter what.

Wu Hong agreed and completed it. That should be the first regular unit found in Yin Zijun Rong after she drifted. In Yin's words, it was the first time that an organization bought social security, paid benefits for him, and arranged a free physical examination for him.

Yin Zijun treats him, and he received his first salary from a publishing company.

There is one of the most popular songs in my heart: Friends walk together for life, one sentence, one life, one love, and a glass of wine.

We were excited to drink in a restaurant outside the publishing compound, and we couldn't help but criticize the characters in our youth.

At that time, Yu Qiuyu was in the limelight and had no reputation for a while. Wu Hong said, can you criticize his baby? I said, OK. That's what it means. The two hit it off and the book later came into being. I am the author and he is the planner.

In addition, the final positioning, forming and publishing of "Selected Poems of the Fourth Generation of Chinese Poets" edited by Gong Jingran, is also related to wine.

Say shameless big talk, talented people can do things that mediocre people can dream of only sleeping in bed while they are talking.

Of course, for us, the first thing is its happiness and obsession, rather than having to gain something. The harvest of is natural and never forced.

Friends all know that at the wine party, Wu Hong and I are bad friends, and I joking about each other, and we specifically recommend which pots are not opened.

However, if we encounter a "strike" from a third party, we will immediately stand in the same trench. If the wine party is a battlefield, then we are also brothers fighting against the wall and resisting aggression.

One year, a respected or high-weight old man drank with us at the same table. During the meal, we couldn't help but exaggerate how we passed five levels and killed six generals, which made us a little annoyed. Wu Hong said to me quietly, knocking him over.

The next grand occasion was that the old man was helped out of the door. From then on, as long as I heard that there were two of us at the wine shop, I would never come to death.

After 2008, a new brother was added to my common circle of friends, Li Hao, who Gao Hong introduced to us.

Li Hao is generous and generous, and of course has a high vision. As far as I know, several people who are said to be a little famous in Sichuan introduced him to and were formatted by him. vs. Wu Hong and me, but Li Hao hit it off at first sight and became a friend.

That night, after answering Lao Xia's call, I told Li Hao about the accident about Wu Hong. Li Hao's first reaction was to suspect that I was drinking with Wu Hong. I was drinking too high and joked about him (it would be great if that would be). I told him seriously, and it was not a joke.

He was silent for a long time on the other end of the phone and murmured, why is this happening? How could this happen?

Yes, how could this happen? How could this happen?

After Wu Hong became the president of the Art Society, there were fewer drinking parties between us. One of the main reasons is that he is too busy. I checked my diary and found that the last time I drank with him was on January 6, 2017, Kuan Lane. In addition to me and him, there were Gao Hong, Zhang Qingning, Lengzi and Tang Lijuan. Li Hao, the guest.

I had made appointments several times in the next few months, but I was always either I was not here or he was not here. If we don’t meet in life, we will move like participating in business. What's more, thinking that the future is long, I wouldn't be particularly regretful that a friend would not be able to attend a certain drinks party.

A few days before Wu Hong's death, Li Hao and Li Chuanfeng and I had a drink. During the meal, I couldn't help but talk about Wu Hong. Li Hao means that when he has been busy during this period, we will make an appointment to have a big drink.

This big wine will never be waiting for.

On the day I returned to Rong from Miyi, I went to visit the Xinquan Master and his wife. Such a big blow, I worry if they can withstand it.

That day, Yin Zijun also went there. Because there were too many visitors, the Xinquan Master and his wife temporarily stayed at the home of his friend, painter Mr. Zeng Gaochao.

Xinquan Master is in good spirits, or in other words, under the huge blow of , this tough guy still did not fall. He said that he once comforted Teacher Liu that everyone is going to die, just sooner or later.

This is cruel, but it is true. Who in this world, even those who are shouted long live every day, will never die?

Death makes life more precious and also makes life have a heavy meaning.

On the evening, Teacher Zeng personally cooked a table of dishes and took out a bottle of 1986 Wuliangye. I was a little surprised.

Teacher Liu told me with tears in his eyes: This is what Teacher Zeng told Wu Hong, and he wants to drink. Now, he can't drink it. You guys are his brothers, so let's drink it for him.

Van Gogh once said that as long as the living person is alive, the dead person will always live.

Yesterday I read Wu Xian’s WeChat and learned that Wu Hong had returned home from far away Croatia.

Next Tuesday, Wu Hong's memorial service will also be held at the Jinniu Hotel.

Here, I hurriedly wrote these disastrous words.As a drinker, literary friend and bad friend of Wu Hong's lifetime, I want to say, Brother Wu, in this ruthless world, you have lived affectionately. In this cold world, you have warmed us.

people are social animals, need friends and friendship. A strong friendship is enough to make us hostile to the absurd life like a long night.

May the living have that immortal love, and may the dead have that immortal name.
