Press: today, I think of a stowaway, a country party, a martial arts master. His name is Liang Yusheng. For many years, we read wuxia only know that there is always blood feud inside, but do not know where the hatred comes from. The answer is –
Wuxia is more desolate, Liang Yusheng and Jin Yong’s life is more desolate.
On January 22, 2009, Liang Yusheng, the founder of the new school of martial arts fiction, died in Sydney. Today is April 5, his last day.
Liang Yusheng is one of my half villagers. He is from Mengshan, Guangxi. My grandmother’s family is in Mengshan. I began to read Liang Yusheng when I was in primary school. I also knew that liang Yusheng was famous all over the world. My parents sometimes talked and mentioned some anecdotes about him, which impressed me deeply.
Liang Yusheng’s martial arts, is undoubtedly a master level, his sinology is very deep roots, strong feelings of the country. But frankly, his style is more traditional, and in terms of reading pleasure, he is not as clever and eccentric as Jin Yong and arrogant and unruly dragon. After all, he still plays by the cards a little more.
As for Liang’s style of writing, there are literary critics who make a professional discussion. In my opinion, liang yusheng’s life history, liang Yusheng’s country, is as valuable as his martial arts.
Born as Chen Wentong in 1924, Liang Yusheng was born in Wenwei Township, Mengshan County, Guangxi province. His family was a prominent local family. In 1944, Japan kou Tie hoof south Jian, a scholar of the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Professor Jian Youwen, took refuge in his family.
More than 30 years ago, I once heard my parents talk, said Liang Yusheng “liberation” at the beginning of walking back to Mengshan, on the way to meet peng Rongkang, a classmate, Peng told him: your father has just been suppressed, you go home is like death, run away. Liang Yusheng, then known as Chen Wentong, fled all the way to Hong Kong. Peng Rongkang was an acquaintance of my parents, and his son was my middle school geography teacher. However, I was young at that time and didn’t think to ask the geography teacher for this extracurricular question.
Most folk tales are not so far off the mark. Years later, I read peng Rongkang’s reminiscences in the Spring and Autumn Annals of Literature and History. They were roughly in line with what my parents had said, except for a few minor details. According to Peng Rongkang, in the autumn of 1950, he recalled in mengshan LiPu – that is the place is very famous taro, met with liang, liang said his father had been falsely accused custody, family letter calls him home for people, Peng Rongkang said: rural everywhere now however hegemonism mass movement, back not only won’t save you father, is itself. Liang obeyed and fled back to Hong Kong. Soon after, his father, Chen Xinyu, was killed. Many years later, Liang Yusheng said to Peng Rongkang, you are my savior.
Chen Xinyu is gentle squire originally, during the war of resistance against Aggression, day aggressors invaded Mengshan, Chen Xinyu had organized the home group to defend the home against Japanese aggression, risked his life to protect a batch of cultural celebrities to take refuge in Mengshan. At that time, Scholar Jian Youwen fled to Mengshan with his family, and it was Chen Xinyu who helped him. In her memoir, eunuch Drifting in the Sea for twenty Years, Jane wrote: “To think of the great kindness of the Chen family is something my family will never forget. Our family encountered a disaster, wandering in a strange land for strangers, is the way to forget, do not know the time of death, suddenly have love students read the friendship between teachers and students. The whole race was willing to receive, provide for, shelter and protect ten members of my family, and returned safely.”
During the land reform more than half a century ago, Chen Xinyu was not the only landlord and gentleman who had been brutally murdered after a lifetime of kindness. Jin Yong’s landowner father was also killed in 1951. When I read Liang Yusheng and Jin Yong in my youth, I always wondered why so many stories started with the murder of my father? Later, I understand.
In 1940, at the age of 16, Chen Wentong wrote a song named “Full Moon”. He could not bear to look back on the events of that year, so he stopped at Wangxiangtai. The old garden was desolate, and the old people were scattered. I thought it was a prophecy.
Liang Yu shengzi pen between the country of sorrow, and its origin. But he was too deeply involved in the tragedy to jump out and examine the national tragedy like Jin Yong did. For all his years of service in a left-leaning newspaper, for all the limitations of his time, he’s still left in his bones, the characters are mostly black and white, there’s a duality, there’s a class struggle, and in that sense, he’s not as open as the early years of patricide.
However, Liang Yusheng was still a famous traditional scholar. Xian Yuqing, a famous female scholar in Lingnan, commented that Liang was “honest and honest, which is rare in modern times”. He kept his distance from politics, retired in life and, in 1994, converted to Christianity, several steps up from his old age of gibbeish and fame and fortune.
In 1946, at the age of 22, Liang Yusheng published a book called qinyuchun and MAO Runzhi in The Hengyang Daily, a newspaper edited by Nie Ganlu: “Flowers tie down, the flowers are fragrant, the flowers are fragrant, and the tourists follow the common customs. Cross crane safety period, riding the wind, to the lofty heights. It alludes to some of the sycophants who follow suit. The year of the weak crown, qinggao has been vividly portrayed.
After the land reform, Liang yusheng did not return to Mengshan for decades. As a family member of the counter-revolution, he could not return. He was, after all, familiar with the political landscape of the mainland. In 1978, when Deng Xiaoping went south to Guangzhou to investigate the Special Economic Zone, The State Council sent invitation cards to some organizations in Hong Kong, inviting Hong Kong compatriots to gather together. At the same time, Liang asked his nephew Chen Qiangzhong to come from Guangxi to see him in Guangzhou. Liang Yusheng with Deng Xiaoping, Liao Chengzhi and so on in a hall after the banquet, out on the invitation to his nephew, the original nephew in his hometown is suspected of adultery overseas agents, Liang Yusheng told him to take the invitation back as a talisman. Later, when Chen qiangzhong returned to his hometown, others saw The State Council seal on the invitation and were too frightened to bother.
The so-called hometown, is mostly a snobbish town. In the 1980s, when The wenbi tower was rebuilt in Mengshan County, it was customary to beg for almsfrom the local master. It is said that Liang Yusheng donated 800 yuan, which was criticized by many local people as he was lonely and stingy. In fact, Liang Yusheng’s donation of several hundred yuan has been considered very face-saving. He killed the father of others and others also donated money to you. You are still not satisfied.
Liang Yusheng had a deep knot in his heart over his father’s death. In the mid-1980s, important officials in Guangxi repeatedly invited Liang Yusheng to go back to his hometown to save his family. Liang Yusheng asked for a new screening of his father’s case, suggesting that he would not go back if he was not vindicated. After investigation, Chen Xinyu is wrong to kill, Mengshan County government below vindicated. Liang yusheng wrote back to the county government: “My father’s life has been righted. The knot that had been buried in my heart for decades has finally been undone.” At that time, Liang Yusheng was afraid that his heart was boundless. If he had not been famous all over the world with a bald pen, he would not have become the object of united front, and his old father’s grave might have been disgraced for a hundred years.
In 1987, Liang Yusheng returned to Mengshan for the first time since his escape. On the completion of the Wenbi Tower in Mengshan, he inscribed a poem on the head: “Mengmengxiang has cleared the heaven and the earth. When the literati stepped in, the pen was strong and the poet was determined.” Between the lines, it’s very thematic. And the truth of his heart, only God knows.
A few years ago, Liang Yuseng returned to Guangxi with a serious illness. She attended the grand ceremony, appeared on TV and received flowers. It was very prosperous and noisy. That was his last return to Guangxi.
One qingming festival, I went to mengshan on my way back to my hometown. The stylus tower, where we played as children, has been renamed Liang Yusheng Park, and the county town has become aware of the celebrity effect. At the foot of the tower, I looked at the inscription in the temple. At this time, the dusk was low and the mountain was quiet. An old Man bullied me and asked where I came from. When Lao Ni saw that I would speak The Mongolian dialect and come from the provincial capital, he asked me to donate money for merit. I waved my hands in disgust and walked slowly away.
I suddenly remembered with sadness the donation letter liang Yusheng received in the 1980s. The letter asking for money was also received by our family. I think of Liang Yusheng in 1950, only a few dozen kilometers away from his father in prison was forced to turn over, over the ridge after ridge to escape, I do not know he thought of this hometown, this land, will be good desolate. Just as the first sentence of seven Swords falling down tianshan Mountain: Look at the sword sadly, there is no way to summon the boat.
