The life of the character
Chen, 19 1 1, is from shima town, Xingning, Guangdong. After graduating from Meizhou Middle School in his early years, he went to Shanghai to study, graduated from Shanghai Art Institute, and then went to Imperial University of Japan to study. As early as the Great Revolution, he joined the * * * production party. /kloc-in the winter of 0/933, China's Left League resumed its alliance with Tokyo. Chen was a member of the Federation (his name was at that time). He served as the editorial board of the literary magazine Dongxi of the Federation and was a major member of the Tokyo International Theatre Association. During this period, he cooperated with Chen Daren to translate and publish the novel White Night by the famous Russian writer Dostoevsky. Organize public performances of progressive dramas such as Thunderstorm, Resurrection, Flood and Professor Mamlock; Edited and published Dongxi Monthly and Dongxi Series, and great writers such as Lu Xun and Guo Moruo contributed to the magazine.
After returning home, Chen joined the army and went to129th Division to follow Liu Bocheng to the north and south. He kept Liu Bocheng's tactical thoughts, daily life, words and deeds in mind, and wrote them in his notebook with him. He, Tang and Lu in the army are all students studying in Japan and are known as the "three Ding families" of the Japanese army. Chen is a "Ding Yuan". Even the letter written by Commander Liu Bocheng added the word "nod" behind his signature, which shows his weight in Liu Bocheng's heart.
Xu Huaizhong, Mo Yan's teacher and former vice chairman of the Chinese Writers Association, has worked with Chen for many years in the army and has a deep understanding of his character, character and talent. He recalled that in the spring of 1946, the actress of Chen and the art troupe held a simple wedding in Wu' an county town, which was a small town where the field organs were stationed. After getting married, Li Peilin didn't get any special enjoyment, but occasionally rode a horse: in the dark night, someone was waiting by the roadside with a horse. When the team of the art troupe came, she immediately heard Chen whisper, Comrade! I rode for a while instead. Judging from his tone, it is hard to say whether this is the concern of the leader for his subordinates or the consideration of the husband for his young wife. He helped his wife get on the horse, and the guards took the reins and left first. Chen then chased the team with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
After hardships, he compiled the Military History of Liu Deng.
1In July, 947, Liu Deng's army leapt thousands of miles into Dabie Mountain, which opened the prelude to the strategic offensive of the War of Liberation. Chen gets along with the morning and evening, and can witness the unique strategic vision and command art of outstanding military strategists at close range, as well as the amazing moves again and again. When the troops broke through many obstacles and finally reached Dabie Mountain successfully, he secretly vowed to write all this into the book and let it shine in history. However, a "Cultural Revolution" turmoil broke his long-cherished wish. He was persecuted by the rebels and was "hanged" for a long time, without giving a conclusion, assigning a job or resuming treatment. He couldn't wait any longer, thinking that Tai Shigong was tortured and still wrote a book, not to mention his physical and mental health! Although the family lives in a small room of only four square meters, he hides in the small kitchen used by his neighbors every day. A man who is more than one meter tall crouches on a pony for a long time, and he has to endure mosquito bites, the smell of lampblack and unbearable high temperature. How much perseverance it takes! One of his golden pens is as sharp as a needle soon. If you accidentally touch your finger, you will soon see blood. In order to save money, he pushed his little grandson's bamboo stroller to bring back the manuscript from the printing house, which was bound by his family, and then he pushed the cart to the post office for mailing. Walking on the sidewalk is a good opportunity for him to think, write articles and sentences, and many inspirations are also captured on the way back and forth again and again.
In order to study deeply, he searched all the books that Liu Bocheng had read, such as The Art of War, The Book of Changes, Mencius, University, Zhuge Liang Collection, Selected Works of Liang Qichao and so on. He also took pains to revisit Taihang Mountain, Dabie Mountain and the battlefield of the Central Plains where the Second Field galloped. He copied more than 400 thousand words of precious ancient art books by hand. One day, the deputy commander of the navy took the initiative to come to the door and said that he had preserved some written materials and photos of Liu and Deng and was willing to use them for him without reservation. Chen is overjoyed and willing to cooperate sincerely with him. At the same time, a number of writers inside and outside the military were contacted one after another to form a supernumerary writing team. Over the past few years, 36 books have been published, including Selected Works of Liu Bocheng's Military Affairs, Liu Bocheng's Military Career, Liu Bocheng's Exploration of Military Theory, Liu Deng's Expedition, Liu Deng's Military Story and Twenty-eight Years-From Political Commissar to General Secretary. Some books won the first prize of the National Book and the Golden Key Award.
1989165438+1October 20th, Deng Xiaoping met with the editors of the Second Field Army, including Song Renqiong, Qin Jiwei, Chen Xilian, Chen Zaidao and other famous generals in the Second Field Army. Chen, as the deputy head of the revision leading group, also attended the meeting. When he stepped forward to shake hands, the introducer said that his name was Chen, and Xiaoping immediately corrected: "His name is not Chen, but Chen. He is a book editor. " Chen Lao, who entered his later years, finally realized his long-cherished wish and compiled a Historical Records of the Liu Deng Army, an amazing article!
Mao Zedong once said that seizing political power depends not only on the barrel of a gun, but also on the pen. Chen, born in Shima, Xingning, galloped in the Central Plains with the army and experienced the whole process of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation. He was a pen in the army. In his later years, he realized his long-cherished wish and edited a book "Military History of Liu Deng".
Chen's army (the Second Field Army) experienced the whole process of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, and was a great scholar who was familiar with contemporary military science. He served as the propaganda minister of Liu Deng Army Political Department for a long time, and then as the editor-in-chief of PLA Literature and Art and the Minister of Navy Culture. He wrote all his life and published more than 40 military works and memoirs,10 million words. He is an expert on Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping.
