Back to 80: My Literary Life

Fang Minghua smiled heartily: "Yes, mainly with some literature lovers, we read together and spend happy time together."

Hearing what Fang Minghua said, the actor named Wang Wei interrupted: "Chairman Fang, is there really such a literary salon? Have you ever talked about Mr. Cha's novels?"

Fang Minghua said frankly: "No."

"Why don't you talk about Mr. Cha's novels? This can be called Jinxue." There was a hint of reproach in Wang Wei's tone.

Before Fang Minghua could reply, Jin Yong said: "What is the study of gold? People study "A Dream of Red Mansions" as a study of gold. Although I have written many novels, which one can compare with "A Dream of Red Mansions"? It is purely a high-level study. Don’t mention the suspicion of red learning in Dream of Red Mansions anymore.”

Wang Wei's flattery failed and landed on the horse's leg, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a bit awkward.

At this time, Fang Minghua said: "Mr. Cha's literary works are not limited to fourteen martial arts novels."

Having said this, Fang Minghua took a sip of tea and looked at Jin Yong: "Mr. Cha, you and Mr. Chen Wen and Chen Fan co-authored an essay called "Essays on Sanjian Tower". It is very interesting. I would like to give it to you when I have time. Readers tell us.”

Chen Wentong is the famous Liang Yusheng, and Chen Fan is the deputy editor-in-chief of Xiangjiang's "Ta Kung Pao" and a famous martial arts novel writer, known as the "Master of the Hundred Swords Hall."

In the 1950s, three young editors of Xiangjiang's Ta Kung Pao, Cha Liangyong (Jin Yong), Chen Wentong (Liang Yusheng), and Chen Fan (Master of the Hundred Swords Hall), wrote martial arts novels together and were known as the Three Musketeers in the literary world.

In 1956, they had a sudden idea: to set up a column "Essays on Sanjianlou" in the supplement of "Ta Kung Pao". The three of them co-wrote one article per day.

The contents include talking about literary and historical anecdotes, celebrity anecdotes, or commenting on piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poems and riddles, or discussing myths and martial arts, dramas, movies, songs and dances. In short, they talk about everything from ancient to modern times, Chinese and foreign, and each chapter has its own pattern, each with a stroke of genius.

In 1997, Xuelin Publishing House selected the best parts and compiled a collection of essays "Sanjianlou Essays" for publication.

Jin Yong was very happy when Fang Minghua mentioned this.

Nowadays, when everyone talks about his works, they all refer to the fourteen martial arts novels. In fact, he has also written many scripts, essays and collections of essays, including this book "Essays on Three Sword Towers".

"Really? Thank you very much, Mr. Fang, for explaining it." Jin Yong smiled and cupped his fists in salute.

Fang Minghua returned the gift and everyone laughed.

So the two of them talked about the collection of essays, which also contained some stories of rivers and lakes:

Fu Qingzhu is not "martial" but "chivalrous"

Yun Huan Jade Legs Ma Shizeng

Fenglei Jubi talks about "Nan Qiao"

The two chatted with gusto.

The "Huashan Sword Discussion" lasted for nearly three hours before finishing down the mountain.

After descending from Mount Huashan, the relevant leaders of Huayin were already waiting at a hotel at the foot of Mount Huashan, preparing a sumptuous dinner for Jin Yong and his party.

Naturally, everyone was chatting with each other. There was peace.

After eating, Jin Yong and others were preparing to return to Xijing. At this time, Secretary Liu said: "Mr. Cha, you are very accomplished in calligraphy. Can you leave some calligraphy here?"

Jin Yong laughed loudly after hearing this: "I have already written the words "Huashan Swordsmanship" on the north peak of Huashan Mountain. I cannot be allowed to be beautiful alone."

Having said this, Jin Yong looked at Fang Minghua again: "Mr. Fang, I heard that you are very accomplished in calligraphy. How is your visit this time?"

Fang Minghua hurriedly shied away.

When Secretary Liu saw that Jin Yong was not planning to write again this time, he immediately smiled at Fang Minghua and said: "Chairman Fang, I heard that you studied calligraphy from Ouyang Xun. Both regular script and running script are both physical and spiritual. I will invite you this time." Show your hand."

Fang Minghua couldn't refuse, so he had to agree.

Everyone moved to the next room, where pens, ink, paper and inkstones had already been placed. Fang Minghua took a closer look and found that they were Hu pens, Hui ink, rice paper, and She inkstones, all of which were high-quality.

In this case, Fang Minghua was not polite. He thought about it while grinding. After a while, he picked up the pen and rubbed it on the white rice paper in one go.

Sword dance on the top of Huashan Mountain,

On the world's heroes.

Finally, write the year, month and day of the lunar calendar and sign your name.

"Good words!" Jin Yong took the lead in applauding.

Fang Minghua spoke modestly, but felt a little proud in his heart.

After drinking some wine, I feel good writing.

Taking the train back to Xijing from Huashan, Fang Minghua returned home in the evening. Song Tangtang also went home with him. As soon as he entered the house, he said:

"That Wang Wei really doesn't pick up the pot, I think it's intentional!"

Fang Minghua laughed after hearing this: "The most indispensable thing in this world is flatterers, don't pay attention to them."

"That's not okay. I don't care if he flatters Mr. Jin, but I can't deliberately embarrass you! Huh! That Wang Wei, he won't have any share in any film and television series invested and produced by Shengshi Film and Television in the future! Also, the movie he starred in Want to show it in Shengshi Cinema? No way!”

Oh?

Is this the beginning of the ban?

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, it's not worth it." Fang Minghua comforted his wife.

The "Huashan Sword Discussion" at the North Peak of Huashan Mountain was made into a program and broadcast on Qin Provincial TV Station, but all the scenes of Wang Wei were not included in it.

This event has ended, and Fang Minghua has also applied for a visa to the United States. However, unfortunately, SARS swept most of China, and Fang Minghua was forced to postpone his departure abroad.

Throughout Xijing City, all Internet cafes, cinemas, KTVs and other entertainment venues were closed, and finally the catering industry. The originally lively Xijing City became deserted, but people were still able to go out and go freely on the streets.

Song Tangtang was worried.

She was not worried about the virus, but about the closure of cinemas, which was a heavy blow to the film and television industry, including Shengshi Pictures.

Fang Minghua was calm.

Compared with the epidemic 20 years later, this was just a small matter, so he comforted his wife and told her not to worry, the epidemic would soon be over.

"Take advantage of this time, you should have a good rest at home." Fang Minghua felt sorry for his wife: "Also, we can donate some money individually, which is also a contribution to the country."

Song Tangtang nodded: "I will discuss with the Red Army and donate some in the name of Shengshi Group."

Soon, Shengshi Group announced that it would donate 50 million yuan to fight SARS from now on, and Fang Minghua and his wife personally donated 20 million yuan.

During this period, schools and various enterprises were basically on holiday, and Fang Minghua's family of three basically stayed at home every day.

The couple read books, surfed the Internet, danced with flowers and grass, and appreciated the Chinese paintings on the third floor every day. Especially Song Tangtang, it was a rare leisure time.

Of course, she also communicated online with Li Li and her daughter Fang Rui in the United States. Li Li was very worried about the situation in Xijing.

In addition to Fang Minghua, there were also her parents.

Fang Minghua comforted her and said that it was okay. Although the epidemic was fierce, it would soon pass.

In early July, SARS was basically over, and the whole city of Xijing began to become active again.

Fang Minghua started to prepare for going abroad, but was stopped by Bai Miao again: "Minghua, don't rush to go abroad. At least, go to the World Chinese Literature Awards Ceremony to receive the award, right?"
