Zhou Daxin: Time is here, people must know how to retreat

"At the beginning, I also felt that the change was too big, but there was no other way to deal with it. At present, this step is already very good. The main purpose of the movie and the novel is the same." Not long ago, it was adapted from the Mao Dun Literature Award. The winner Zhou Daxin's work of "Soul" was released. At the premiere, Zhou Daxin sat in the fourth row of views, and the cameraman took a picture of his tears.

At the cafe near home, Zhou Daxin talked about the life after not writing a long story, which contains writing, walking and watching movies. At the entrance of the community, a few peach trees bloomed and the buds were very large. He also talked about his hometown, as well as death and fate.

Destiny is impermanent and cannot be promoted as planned

"There are many elusive things in the fate of a person. Life will not go down step by step as you designed." Zhou Daxin was born in 1952. At the age of 70, he lives at this age and lives. Can feel the impermanence of fate. In the novel "Act 20", he wrote the mystery of destiny. ""

5 horizontal lines, 5 vertical lines, forming a grid. This is your life. "Push the coffee cup on the table and empty out a small piece of place. Zhou Daxin compared the line with his hand, and then pointed at a grid in the middle of the bottom and said," In the plan, people will walk straight and reach the top grid at the top. But at the crossroads, a force appeared, the established road was blocked, and life went to another track. "Zhou Daxin moved his hand to the right and ordered the space on the upper right.

Zhou Daxin does not deny struggle. Struggle can change destiny, but it cannot prevent life from turning. When he was young, Zhou Daxin set up his life early. He firmly believes that in the future, it will definitely be better than now, and tomorrow will be better than today. However, life does not obey arrangements, and constantly create trouble, pain, and trouble. People will also get something, but it is not the same as the original thought. "I can't control my destiny." He waved his hand and said helplessly, "I often think, why will it become today?"

On September 28, 2005, the air in Beijing was clear, the wind was quiet, and the birds were loud. After retirement, Zhou Daxin planned to live a life of grandson and is lining up with a haircut. At this time, he got the news of his son's coma. The son was diagnosed with glue tumors, and the prevalence of the disease was one hundred thousand, and the cause was not concluded. In 2008, his son died, and Zhou Daxin stunned his ashes into a two -foot spirituality. He thought of the wedding room that had prepared his son in his early years, and explained to the decoration master. He had a few pillars in the escalator. Afterwards, he had a grandson and the child was safer to play on the stairs.

In front of the disaster, people could not escape. Zhou Daxin wrote "Soul", and the father and son dialogue. In August 2012, the novel was published by the writer's publishing house and won the third novel biennale of the third "People's Literature". "People have a lot of imagination to return to their way, most of which are fear, and fear originated from unknown." Zhou Daxin combined Chinese and Western culture and built a post -death world. After writing the book, his fear of death was reduced.

While writing, while thinking, Zhou Daxin also asked himself, how much can death at the age of 29 and the death of 79? The son does not have to experience the high -pressure life of middle -aged people, and the pain of the elderly torture. As a party, Zhou Daxin tasted all the pain of losing his son. Once standing in a higher dimension, a youth's departure is like a drop. Writing briefly treats him, but this is still a deep wound. "Don't dare to touch, and really dare not touch," he said.

"People are always reluctant to think about the end of life, and always feel that the end point is far away. But saying it is reasonable, and think about it." Zhou Daxin told a small story in "Beyond Death". One day, the author Satis Modi and friends met and made a game on the dining table. Satis Modi spread out the meal cloth. Put the fork on the left to represent the starting point. Put the knife on the right to represent the end point. According to the health state of the friend, put the salt tank between two points. Talking, Zhou Daxin put two paper draws on a straight line, gold represents the starting point, and black represents the end point. He raised the coffee cup.

"This friend is more than 60 years old and relatively healthy. He puts the salt tank in the right place in the middle." It was close to the black carton, and Zhou Daxin put the coffee cup in the middle. "When my friend saw it, I said no, I put it on the left. Satis Modi moved to the left." Speaking, Zhou Daxin moved the coffee cup to the left a little, and then said: "The friend said again, again, again, again Move a little to the left. Satis Modi refused. People can manage their life to a certain extent, but there are not so many. "Looking at the knife, my friend thought of death, his heartbeat accelerated, nervous, and the whole person became more and more. Seriously, I didn't talk about boring that night.

Realizing the distance of the end of life will make people solemnly face the process of life and choose the real important thing. "I am 70 years old, so there are so many left now." Zhou Daxin said, continued to move the coffee cup, and pointed at the short paragraph of the cup away from the black box: "You understand, what you can do is very little, you can do very little. You must do what you want to do. "

When people are old, it is like the summer is very dark.

At the age of 66, Zhou Daxin wrote the novel "It's slow to be slow". The book tells the elderly life of retired judge Xiao Chengshan. He almost experienced all the sufferings that the elderly might encounter -funeral, lost independence, fraud, lost walking ability, blindness, deafness, and dementia. At the beginning of the story, Xiao Chengshan was dissatisfied with the old. He fiercely opposed his daughter's hiring nanny. It is slowly advancing, just like the summer dusk, the sky is always dark. "Early elderly people can still take care of themselves and ensure the quality of life. If there is no help in the later period, the last life is very pitiful." In his 40s, Zhou Daxin never thought about aging. At that time, he met a white -haired old man in his 80s in the stairs. She was holding a stick, took two steps to rest for a while, with two green onions in her hand, as if carrying a heavy thing. Zhou Daxin held the onion head and sent the elderly home. He wondered, isn't it just two onions, is it so heavy? At this time, he realized that when he was old, his strength would be lost, just like a sandbag that had missed his mouth.

When I really started writing a book, Zhou Daxin felt that no one read a book written by the elderly. Unexpectedly, the book was sold well after publishing, and it was printed almost 100,000 copies. The elderly group responded enthusiastically, and readers were often found through various channels. "Many people are just old age, but the spirit has not yet arrived, and I don't realize the problems they will face. This book gives them a reminder." He mentioned that after the translation of the book into multiple words, the international influence is also increasing. Young people are also reading.

In a sense, "It's Slow" is also a book written to myself this week, preparing for the end of the night. In fact, it is difficult for you to see the marks of aging in Zhou Daxin. His thoughts were clear, the dialogue was smooth, his voice was bright, and he maintained a keen observation. He worked as a soldier in his early years and loved to play basketball when he was young. This made him look more like a 50 or 60 -year -old person. He stood up and stood upright.

He used "outside strong and middle -dry" to describe his physical condition -looking good, but the organs are aging, and the calcium is lost. Be careful when walking, the young people can heal soon after falling down, but accidental falling for the elderly may cause fatal injuries. During lunch, Zhou Daxin ordered the fried vegetables, macaronus slices, and mushroom soup. "Eat more more thanhistan, and the disease is good for the body," he said.

Zhou Daxin talked about the elderly in his hometown. There are fewer and fewer people in the village. Young people and middle -aged people work outside work. Generally, they are Guangdong, Shanghai, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang. In the season of sowing, I came back and quickly planted the ground with the machine. After a few days, people left. The same is true for harvesting. As soon as the food was sold, people left again. In the sound of wind shaking wheat ears, in the sound of the murmurry of the summer night, there were only old people and children in the village. The old man is getting more and more unmoved. Under the sunset, some people slowly push the wheelchair away, and some people can't afford it. In the past, the funeral, the people in the village helped, the young guys who raised the coffin now were unsuccessful.

When writing a book, Zhou Daxin never expected that "The Darkness is very slow" cut into the aging of society. A larger background is that aging is becoming a worldwide problem. At the end of 2018, Zhou Daxin stayed in the United States for 15 days. He used to get up early, walk out of the hotel, go downstairs to eat early, and see the wanderer every day. On the streets of New York, the wanderer raised a tent. A half -opened carton was placed outside the tent, which had about pizza. In the cold wind, the old man was wrapped in a down jacket, shrinking. The location of the tent is selected, either next to the underground pipeline, or the air outlet by heating, there is always some heat. Friends told Zhou Daxin that there were few stray people in New York, and there were more states.

"Those old people are very pitiful, and there are many robbery on the street." The tents on the streets of the United States left a deep impression on Zhou Daxin. There is no stable income, and the illness can only resist, and the thin tent cannot resist the danger. Living on the street means that there is no clean clothing, it exudes an unpleasant smell, and it is more difficult to get work in the talent market. Since then, they have fallen into a vicious circle, thoroughly thrown out of normal life, and walk on the edge of society. He said: "In a money society, it will only be more at a loss when facing aging society."

Zhou Daxin's "Act 20", "Soul", "Slowly Slow"

The road of literature is not easy to go at first

As a child, Zhou Daxin spent a period of sorrow: lacking, lack of burning, no decent clothes, the mother had no money to buy medicine, could not afford the tuition fee, and could not afford the food fee of four pieces of five cents a month. ... at a very young age, he learned to frown. In the classroom, the Chinese teacher reads Zhou Daxin's composition in the class. His composition was regarded as a fan text and posted on the classroom wall. Sometimes, the school will also post the student composition to the town. When the uncle and sister -in -law who came back met, he had to come to his house.

At the age of 18, Zhou Daxin left his home to the army, and he was testing the local soldiers in a field troops in Shandong. At that time, the leaders of the recruits requested that the recruits of each class wrote a text in the class in time, and stood in the dining room and read it aloud when the meal was opened. After graduating from Zhou Daxin High School, he has the highest degree in his class. He often took the time to write a manuscript. In the dining room where more than one hundred people shuttled, Zhou Daxin stood straight and read aloud.

Later, Lianli had an opportunity to speak on stage. A monitor prepared for a long time. After speaking, the leadership was not very good. I thought of Zhou Daxin and temporarily arranged him to go to him. Write the lecture all night and speak directly on the stage the next day. A leader in the army arrived at the scene and was satisfied with hearing. Later, Zhou Daxin was the head of the leader and was transferred to the political office in the regiment to write official documents. When the document is about to produce a few blackboard reports, when encountering dissatisfaction, Zhou Daxin wrote some poetry filling. After the Tangshan earthquake, it was reported that there may also be an earthquake in Shandong, and the soldiers in the team were nervous. At that time, the company was stationed near Taoyuan, Feicheng County. Lianli established the earthquake forecast duty system: the bottle is poured into a enamel washbasin. Once the bottle poured the face, the soldiers were whistle.

One night, the bottle fell, the staff on duty whistled, and the officers and soldiers evacuated immediately. Several recruits stood up sharply, the mosquito net fell on his head, and he couldn't open his body in a panic, so he had to jump the window with the mosquito net, and it was injured. Zhou Daxin served as deputy instructor. He was fortunate that the dormitory was a bungalow and did not fall out of his life. This time, the oolong incident deepened Zhou Daxin's fear of the earthquake. In 1995, he wrote a science fiction "Ping An World" to the child, which pinned the expectations of precise prediction of earthquakes.

On the road of literature, Zhou Daxin did not go smoothly at the beginning. Initially, he learned to write a movie script and wrote 4 before and after. At that time, the survival rate of the movie script was one -five thousand. In 1976, Zhou Daxin wrote a novel for the first time and wrote 300,000 words. I felt that I couldn't write it, and I burned a manuscript. Later, Zhou Daxin kept writing and kept sending to the editorial department. More than 30 manuscripts were returned.

In 1979, "Letter of the Come Earlier" was published in the Jinan Daily. This is also the first time Zhou Daxin published novels. It wasn't until the short story "Han Family Girl" won the "National Excellent Short Story Award" from 1985 to 1986. Zhou Daxin had the bottom of his heart and felt that "you can eat the bowl of literature."

Time is here, people must know how to retreat

As a writer, Zhou Daxin can be called high yield. For more than 40 years, he has continued to work, wrote 10 ministers novels, 33 novels, more than 70 short stories, and prose, script and other works. Awards, Mao Dun Literature Awards, Lao She Prose Awards and other awards. In 2021, he no longer wrote a long story, and the book "Luocheng Flower" was sealed in the book "The Novels of the Novel". In the face of external questions, he responded that he was too physical to write a long article. When he was young, it passed by 200,000 words. Now it feels like climbing mountain climbing. Recently, he wrote a few essays, and the tone of the entire series has not yet thought about it.

Zhou Daxin said that writing a book is very slow. It takes about three years to write a novel, and the information of the previous period will account for half a year. "Act 20" took the longest and spent 10 years. "No one cares about you, and puts pressure on himself." When he said, when he wrote, he thought about it every day. He felt like a stone in his heart. It can be written, but the pressure in my heart can't stand it. "Compared with the novel, short stories and prose can be written within a week," can easily pass. "

In "Slow Dark", retired judge Xiao Chengshan plans to write 3 books. Once he wrote, he couldn't stop and wrote it in one breath. This is also Zhou Daxin's writing state. When I was young, I started writing early in the morning. I have been writing until noon, a little rest after lunch, and then writing in the afternoon. "At that time, I could write for more than ten hours a day." Zhou Daxin recalled, paused, and continued: "It's not okay now.

"I have to write again in the middle of the night, and the legs are soft and weak the next day." Now, Zhou Daxin dare not stay up late, writing is regular, 2 hours a day, 2 hours in the afternoon. See a movie. His home is near Wanshou Park. He often walks. Three times a day, he can take more than 10,000 steps. During writing, the habit of Guan Temple has never changed. Without an emergency, his wife would not knock on the door. Sometimes the desk is chaotic, and the open book stalls on the desktop. No matter how chaotic, the family would not clean up, how he put it, and he put it.

When writing, Zhou Daxin did not have the habit of drinking coffee, and most of them drink black tea. Once waiting at the airport, Zhou Daxin drank a cup of coffee, could not sleep after boarding, and couldn't fall asleep all night. Later, he rarely drank coffee, could drink a little in the morning, and dared not drink in the afternoon. After a certain age, he felt more and more that he had seen many things, and he was expressed euphemistically in a fictional way. It was not fun. A writer friend had just finished writing a long article and immediately planned the next one, but the result was not completed. "It is impossible, you can only do what you can do." Zhou Daxin shook his head, more like talking about yourself.

The pointer was allocated to the age of 70. He wanted to do something for the family. "Home" refers to "hometown". At the beginning of the year, he was busy sorting out the book and raised more than 10,000 books. Most of them had read it, and let his hometown come back to the car. Zhou Daxin also purchased more than 10,000 books suitable for students to read, and built a library in his hometown. He took a few times with his fingers, and planned to ask one or two industry cutting -edge characters each year to give lectures to children in his hometown.

At the end of the interview, Zhou Daxin talked about the recent movie. The story takes place in a tailor shop in Chicago, and the male lead Leonard Brin is an old tailor. He was originally a British, mixed with underworld, and wanted to wash his hands after marrying a wife and daughter. The boss burned his wife and daughter in order to let him reintegrate his old karma. After he revenge, he arrived in the United States and became a federal government, collecting information as a tailor. He continued to fight with his fate and wanted to get rid of the life of the killer, but in the end he was deeply trapped. "In fact, it accidentally explained a little. All writers will realize this problem at the end of the creation. You cannot completely get rid of the arrangement of fate." After fighting with fate for a lifetime, Zhou Daxin realized this and got peace. dialogue

Zhou Daxin's good book

When the writer woven the story, you often find an event

Q: The heroine in "Lake Light and Mountains" and "Slow Darkness" is very similar. In "Lake Light and Mountains", Nuan Nuan initially cleaned up in Beijing, and later returned to his hometown to develop tourism. The latter, Zhong Xiaoyang stayed in Beijing for care and applied for the Xiao family's nanny. If Nuan Nuan will make the same choice in "Slow Dark"? How do you design this role?

Zhou Daxin: When I was a kid, my family was very poor. I ate noodles, adding a lot of sweet potatoes, a few flour, and swallowing my throat. There is a habit of eating that place in that place. After making the meals, we will come out. Dozens of people can eat together, either squatting, or sitting with a small bench. There are about three or four places to eat like this. Children like me run around with a bowl. Some sister -in -law saw it, dipped in the sesame oil bottle with chopsticks, and dripped a few drops of sesame oil. There is oil in the bowl, and it is very fragrant when eating. If they made delicious food at home, they also brought out a bowl to give the children to eat.

This kind of thing has left a deep impression on me, so when I start writing, I will unknowingly affected it. In my early and middle works, women's characters are beautiful. Looking back on my creative process, I rarely write negative female images. You feel that these two characters are similar, because they are good at their hearts and sense of justice. When they encounter unfair things, they dare to stand up and express their dissatisfaction. Probably this.

This writing tendency is related to the personal life experience of the writer, and the writer is still biased. If you know it according to reason, men and women are almost the same in human defects. But with this experience, I want to put praise and praise on women.

Q: "Lake Light and Mountains" seems to be telling a story about power. After choosing the village party secretary, Kaitian changed to one person and became another Zhan Shizhen (former village branch letter) who deceived the male and female.

Zhou Daxin: This rural woman wrote a confrontation to change her destiny. In the end, she won, although she paid a lot. Starting from Kaitian as the king of Chu, he has actually laid a foreshadowing for his destiny. If Kaitian is a self -intimited person, he will use power carefully. But he is not. When he was in the village branch, he was blessed like the emperor.

Q: There are often "rulings" in your novels. For example, there is a judge in "Luocheng Flowers", and "Soul" is a judge who determines the soul where the soul goes.

Zhou Daxin: The ruling is actually judged by the writer through the role. A event must be determined in the end, so related roles must be implemented. In literary creation, writers can not judge or evaluate, and only present the problems. But I hope (incident) will be ruling to show fairness and justice.

Q: The more I read later, the more I feel that the more you have to tell your novel, but to tell one thing. For example, "Slow Darkness" is about turning old, and "Luocheng Flowers" talks about marriage.

Zhou Daxin: You find this kind of discovery, but I didn't pay attention. Of course, writing novels must tell stories. It is necessary to tell stories. Without a story, it is equivalent to no framework and no story. The novel is the same as prose. By relying on specific stories, the novel abstraction kernel is appeared.

The stories in life are scattered and without processing, which is a natural state. It is not like the story in literature. It has the beginning, end, and contradictions. Therefore, when writers want to weave a story, they often need to find something for it to advance. If there is no core event, the story is easy to go down, or to the left or right, it will be difficult to advance.

Yes, your discovery is right. "Slowness is slow" is talking about people getting older, how people deal with it, and then there are many stories.

Q: Is there a mirror relationship between the fate of the character in "It's slow"? For example, when he learned that his lover was derailed, Zhong Xiaoyang decided to revenge, and Xiao Chengshan replaced the poison with brown sugar. Later, Xiao Chengshan decided to take the medicine for his own death. Among the two "changes", redemption was achieved. Including Xiao Xinxin, she was unable to give birth because of many miscarriage, her husband divorced her, and she committed suicide after depression. Zhong Xiaoyang broke up and chose to give birth to a child alone after calm down. How do you deal with the direction of the fate of the character?

Zhou Daxin: When designing the fate of the characters, you must choose according to personality characteristics. Like Xiao Yang's character, once she falls in love with a person, she will devote himself. Once love is lost, she will convert to hatred and frustration. If she is disappointed with life, she will come. This is caused by her personality. If it is another personality, it is more cheerful, open -minded, or less valued so much, it will not hurt so much, and will not handle the relationship between men and women like her. This is true. Seeing Xinxin's pain that the child wants not to be, Xiao Yang wants to leave the child. When I wrote, I didn't consider (mirror relationship). In the process of going to the end of destiny, various stories will occur. Since Xiao Chengshan and Xiao Yang live in a piece of life and live under a roof, their destiny will be intertwined and various entanglements will appear. Xiao Chengshan's fate is also designed according to his personality. Although he is stubborn and stubborn, sometimes he doesn't talk about common sense, he is still very kind inside. At the beginning, he was resistant to the girl and did not want to let people interfere with his life. When Xiao Yang encountered a disaster of life, he wanted to help. According to Xiao Chengshan's character, the story can only develop like this.

Q: When writing, is the specific plot already thought about it? Or is it written that the plot appears?

Zhou Daxin: There is often a general design, and the character's personality tone will be set. When it is advanced, stories follow the character. So I do n’t think about it, because I think it ’s troublesome (laughs). Facing the manuscript every day, new things appear. Especially for long -term creation, it will usually continue to write for several years. When facing the screen, there will be new ideas every day to correct some of the original designs.

Before writing, the writer must be prepared

Q: In "Luocheng Flowers", you introduced a large number of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign views on marriage. Especially during the trial, the scene of the opposite view and the theoretical game was impressive. Can you talk about this part?

Zhou Daxin: This is done when creative preparation. If I am sure to write the subject matter about divorce, I will read a lot of books in this regard. At this time, there were no characters or stories, none. It is about divorce, reading a lot of books from all aspects. After reading it, coupled with realistic information, latest research, and cutting -edge theories, it is almost grasped, and then enter the creation.

The advantage is that what you want to use when you create can be taken immediately. If you are not prepared in advance, you must write a divorce judgment, it must be stretched, and the reason cannot be spoken. The lawyer read the lecture on the court and repeated only those words, which was not good. But in real life, this is indeed the case. Some lawyers told me that he had a good relationship with the judge and discussed with the judge in advance. He said that this person should leave, and then he would just be sentenced. This is an approach, but this does not meet the legal regulations. Lawyers should be distinguished in court, who makes sense. In the process of debate between the two parties, the judge can gradually judge which party is right to make correct judgments.

Q: People still have changed a lot about marriage.

Zhou Daxin: Now the understanding of marriage is indeed different from the past, and the concept has changed.

In the past, marriage was considered a perfect sex mode. Today, in large cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, many people are not married or children. Many people who got married did not hold the idea of ​​"white head to old" from the beginning. This is completely different from those born in the 1950s and 1960s, including those born in the 1970s. They just want to pursue their best living conditions. If they deviate from this goal, then (marriage) can be abandoned at any time. Non -married children are also normal, and Shanghai can register for settlement.

In the past few years, many friends have found me and asked me to introduce their children. There are many things. Many women with high education, high income, and good conditions cannot find objects. Because men are a little higher than women in some aspects in accordance with traditional ideas, he can grasp the direction of the family. This is not the case now, now women are higher than him. In the face of such a woman, he dared not get married, he had to retreat, retreat at a level, and pursued low education and lower income than him. I know some women in their 40s and can't get married. They don't choose, that is, I don't want a family, but I can want children.

This is completely different from the situation of our generation. So today I write a divorce case. If it is based on the past, young people will definitely not be willing to listen. So I made a lot of preparations.

Q: Can I talk about the preparation process? Do you usually go to the library or find it online? How many books do you want to read?

Zhou Daxin: At least half a year, if you still need to find it during the writing process. There are libraries and the Internet. First look for clues online, and then go to the library to find books. I also visited several lawyers and asked them how they debated in court. Someone sent me the draft of the debate. The divorce cases they undertake, the cases of success, and the unsuccessful cases, all tell me.

I don't necessarily say that there are fixed numbers. If you feel confident, you can write it. The more books and materials are read, the rough outline has been made for the work.

Q: Do you understand the attitude of young people in the face of marriage? What do you want to pass to the readers through "Luocheng Flowers"?

Zhou Daxin: Understand that a generation has the spirit of a generation. The combination of two people in our generation, an important goal is to be full, eat well, and earn basic living materials. Today, this problem has long been solved. So the pursuit of a high level of spiritual life, the quality of marriage is higher. Many young people now do not want to enter marriage, do not believe in love, right? I want to tell everyone through this book that in fact love exists, love is in life. It is just that it will change. Two or three years later, the initial two people stick to it, and the desire to separate is gone, and the passion will fade back. It transforms into family relationships, the "husband and wife" mentioned by the people. The two live together, use the same things, eat the same, and the appearance will change.

At this stage, some people will disappoint their marriage and compare the present and a few years ago. After that, people are lost and even more dissatisfied. One of them retreated, or both parties wanted to withdraw, and the marriage ended. If you can understand rationally and face the passionate period, you can deal with the problems in marriage in a rational manner, rather than fierce confrontation. This is what anyone will encounter, and another spouse is still like this. (Love) It is impossible to burn all the time.

We must see all stages of emotional changes, leaving room for emotional changes, that is, mental preparation. Before getting married, you must know that marriage is not as expected, and it continues in one way. In this way, you can not be disappointed, and you can make a "death penalty" judgment under the marriage.

I don’t believe in religion, no one is believed

Q: You often have some magic in the book, or the mysterious factor, such as the "Triangle District" in "Lake Light and Mountains", Changshou Village in "Slow Darkness" and so on.

Zhou Daxin: There are indeed a lot in real life, what we can't explain. The fate of a person, what he will meet tomorrow, does not know at all. As a writer, when he is writing, he must find a similar thing.

The "Triangle District" in "Lake Light and Mountains" is a reflection of it. Anyone walks in and can no longer get out. I have a natural fear of water, especially when I see the big water, I am scared, so I don't want to take a ship at sea. For example, the "Bermuda Triangle" is a seawater, which is no different from the seawater elsewhere, but planes and ships often happen here. There are many mysterious landscapes in life, I want to bring it into (novels).

Q: You wrote the temple in "Lake Light and Mountains", and the Taoist view was written in "It's Slow". What do you think of religion?

Zhou Daxin: Occasionally, it often determines our lives. A car accident is a car accident, and a wheelchair must be taken in the second half of his life. He happened to go there at that time. If you do n’t go out that day or go out, and do n’t arrive at that time, he will avoid the accident. Because of the occasional existence, there is an elusive component in fate, and some people are entrusted to religion.

This is also the destiny of everyone: watching his life's struggle, and finally dying and darkness. This ending is miserable. So once in the middle age, it is getting closer to the end, and people will ask why, why everyone is the ending? Religion is to appease the soul and tell you that there will be a world in the future, letting you calm down, so that you should not be anxious.

I don't believe in religion, no one. I write a mysterious power, the living of people, the balancing of the fate of the person, and the prospect of life. If you look closely, you will find that no one is completely happy and smooth during life without regrets. Everyone's life is full of troubles and distress, but the suffering is different, the degree of severity is different, and the weight is different, but everyone is the case. If you find a person and let him change his life with another person, many people are unwilling to do it because the other party is even more affected.

A long time ago, I wrote a prose called "Balance". It is written in it that the law of balance in the world works: the loss of a person is almost in a balanced state. If you lose in this regard, you will get it in that way; you get it during this time, and you may lose it again. There are no people who have been smooth and happy in their lives; there are no people who are suffering, frustration, and pain in their lives.

In rural areas, some elderly people can live a lot of age, in their 90s, in their 100s. His living conditions are not so good, but he is peaceful and calmly treats everything, not nervous, not panic. Some leaders enjoy the glory brought by power, have a high level of living, and have a high level of medical care, but they died in their seventy -year -old. Their life has achieved a balance to some extent.

Q: How do you understand the news incidents that are happening now?

Zhou Daxin: I read the news every day, all on the Internet, newspapers, and eagerly want to understand the outside world. If a writer does not touch external information and does not cause his spirit to stimulate, his creative vitality will be reduced, so he must read a lot. Regarding some news, the video on the Internet is also very single and cannot understand the overall situation. There are several newspapers in the family, and (I) often read eye pain. I also read (news) before going to bed. The book has a long eye pain. Do you have this feeling?

Q: What books are you reading recently?

Zhou Daxin: Recently studying historical books, related to the history of the Song Dynasty. Yesterday's history is actually today. Looking at the history and the current to see the problem, you can see the truth and laws of things. Today, many people are repeating what their predecessors have done. For example, the fighting in the officialdom is so tossing, but the future generations do not learn lessons, and they are still tossing. There are often such messages on mobile phones. For example, some WeChat public accounts often be investigated, approved, double -opened, and processed, which makes people can't help sigh. There are also greed for wealth, and countless people want to occupy more wealth. In fact, you can't use so much at all. But once he embarked on this road, he couldn't control it and kept asking for wealth until he destroyed people. Reading history will make people see the footsteps of their predecessors. The predecessors have left footprints, and future generations are best avoided. This is why I like history, and it can be avoided from history. But many people continue to go.

The history of the Song Dynasty was very interesting and worth studying. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the country was very developed, and the prosperity of Kaifeng could be seen from "The Tu of the Qingming River". But in a blink of an eye, the (Song Dynasty) declined, and the capital had to move south. Why can't it be? There must be a reason for these reasons in the history books. Studying this dynasty is helpful for us to observe the rise and fall of some countries in the world today.

Q: Is there any other impression of traveling abroad?

Zhou Daxin: I have been to many countries. I have seen many friends who settle abroad, they are very talented, but many of them live abroad, in fact, they live in the Chinese circle. It is often a small society of a Chinese in a city. This small society and locals have gone in the language barrier. However, the cultural interval is still difficult to fully integrate into the local society. It is very similar to the "second -class citizen". Of course, this is just a psychological feeling.

Decades ago, people felt that foreign countries had a better living level than us, but now there is no difference. Some friends live abroad, but they are actually uncomfortable in spirit. I feel that if young people have talents, they can study abroad, visit scholars, do academic exchanges, and finally come back to live well.

Q: Have you returned to your hometown recently? What's the change in the village?

Zhou Daxin: The old father is still alive, and I often go back to see him. The last time I went back was to go back to build a library in early March. I want to do something for my hometown. When you get old, you will have this idea. I have a little ability outside, I should think of returning to my hometown. In addition to the book, many modern and contemporary calligraphy and paintings have taken home (township). In the library, if you have a chance, you can go and see. Beijing is very developed, and the strong ones in various fields are like forests and do not need these things.

Now the village is changing a lot, and people run out, because the soil cannot be planned. We can calculate a account. One acre of land has two stubbles a year, more than 1,000 yuan per acre of wheat, one acre of corn harvested more than 1,000 yuan, and the harvest is not hundreds of dollars. Add up to earn 2000 per acre. A few years ago, I chatted with the security guards in the community. The monthly salary was 2,600, which was worth the harvest of one acre of land. Therefore, it does not work (light land), and the countryside is withered.

If the house cannot be separated from people, it will fall down soon. Someone lived in the house, and it was stored for a long time. If no one lived, it would be broken soon, and the worms and mice came. Now that the country has proposed rural rejuvenation, this is indeed fundamentally solved the problem, so that the country can prosper, so that the country can be truly strong.
