Zhao: Books are friends forever.
According to common sense, professional writers make a living by writing. However, Zhao, a member of the 7th Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Committee, vice chairman of the Shanghai Writers Association and a famous contemporary essayist, has written more than 40 literary monographs such as prose, poetry and reportage, and his works have won various literary awards at home and abroad for dozens of times. However, for himself, he has always felt that "writing is still an amateur". He said, "If I have any major, I must study." . In the preface of the newly published book Zhao Reading Essays, Zhao once again declared that "the greatest benefit and happiness is reading"
Zhao, a Shanghainese, has been a bookworm since he was a child. He never cares about the time and place when he studies. "As long as you pick up an interesting book, you can get lost in it and forget everything." Zhao often walks to read, eat, sleep and go to the toilet. From The Journey to the West, Feng Shen Bang, Shui Hu Zhuan, Romance of the Three Kingdoms and History of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to 300 Tang Poems, Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, Notes from Yuewei Cottage and Dream of Red Mansions, Zhao Zong felt that "these books are much more interesting than the history in textbooks" and was often fascinated by them.
From the senior grade of primary school to middle school, Zhao began to contact China modern literature and foreign literature. No matter what books he gets, he usually reads Lu Xun, Mao Dun, Ba Jin and Bing Xin, and also reads some foreign literary masterpieces borrowed from the library by senior three, such as Anna karenin, Don Quixote and Resurrection, War and Peace, Les Miserables, and The Life and Death of Monte Cristo. In particular, Zhao found a new collection of poems published by a publishing house in a second-hand bookstore in Shanghai, which made him even more excited. This new collection of poems is all Pushkin's poems, translated by Cha, and published in 1955. They became Zhao's favorite books in middle school. It can be said that Zhao wrote poems later, which had a lot to do with reading these poems. Zhao treasures these books very much. In order to reduce wear and tear, he carefully wrapped the covers with transparent paper, but they were still worn by Zhao. Zhao later recalled that at that time, "I read too much, gulped down dates and read without any rules." However, it is this kind of reading that broadens my horizons, increases my knowledge and makes me deeply fall in love with literature. "
After graduating from high school, Zhao left Shanghai and went to Chongming Island to "settle in line". Among the few printed materials in his humble schoolbag is a book called Weeds. In reality, many novels are often fresh when they are read for the first time, but dull when they are read for the second time. A book like Weeds can make Zhao Lihong "read it again and again", because reading such a book "can make you relive it again and again and always taste a new charm." Zhao thought at that time, "if Mr. Lu Xun didn't have that thick dozen books, but only a thin" Wild Grass ",he would also be a great writer."
In the long years of "jumping the queue to settle down" in the countryside, Zhao Lihong "once felt lonely and helpless, and his future was bleak", but it was the books that Zhao lived with day and night that changed his outlook on life. Under an erratic oil lamp, it was the book that accompanied him "through many warm and happy times" and made him "gradually enrich and enrich", and it was also the book that "helped him choose his life goal".
The College Entrance Examination 1977 resumed, and Chair Zhao was admitted to the Chinese Department of East China Normal University with excellent results. In the university library, there are many good books for Zhao to choose from, just like Flowers and Plants in Spring. 198 1 year Zhao went to work in MengMeng after graduation. At that time, Zhao lived in Pudong, and it took a long time to go to work in the city by bus through the Huangpu River tunnel every day. Because "the time in the car is particularly difficult", Zhao holds a good book every day and turns the difficult time into a happy moment. On the bus, Zhao can always concentrate on reading, and no noise can disturb his mood. Even if someone pushes him or pushes him, he is ignorant, because he is "hiding in a book for a pleasant trip."
He has written essays such as Grass of Life, Love on Earth, Mystery of Maya, Notes of Islanders, Selected Prose of Zhao, Arts and Crafts, Charm of Life, Noise and Quiet, Ring of Death, In the Desert of Years, Reading is Eternal, and Dance of Aestheticism. The collection of prose "Soul of Poetry" won the China Excellent Prose Collection Award in the new period, and the Shadow of the sundial won the first "Bing Xin Prose Award". Many prose works have been selected into Chinese textbooks for universities, middle schools and primary schools in China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Canada, which have a wide influence on readers. Among them, "Shan Yu" and other articles were selected into the primary school language.
