Back to 80: My Literary Life

Fang Minghua did not explicitly object to this, as both sides should benefit from each other.

At the same time, Fang Minghua also registered the non-profit private organization "Xijing Art Museum" with the local civil affairs department. On September 11, Xijing Art Museum and Qujiang Tourism Construction and Development Corporation signed a formal contract.

Fang Minghua participated as the director of Xijing Art Museum, but he is still a bachelor commander. He temporarily transferred several staff members from the Chinese Literature Award Organizing Committee Office to do specific work, including Wang Zi.

After signing the contract, Wang Zi seemed a little unhappy.

"What's wrong? Wang Zi?" Fang Minghua asked.

"It was said that our organizing committee and foundation would benefit from the art museum, but it seems that there is no hope."

Originally, according to Fang Minghua's idea, when building a new art museum, an auxiliary building would be built to move the organizing committee and foundation there, but looking at the current plan of Qujiang Tourism Construction and Development Corporation, it may be difficult to achieve.

Hearing Wang Zi's complaints, Fang Minghua laughed: "Don't worry, I have already thought about it. I will build a building in a suitable place on the old site of Xiying Studio on Xiying Road and move both of your units there."

"The old site of Xiying Studio? Well, that location is not bad."

After signing the contract, Fang Minghua set out to find a suitable architectural design team.

In fact, he didn't need to find one. After the news of building a high-level art museum in Qujiang spread in the industry, many leaders of architectural design companies came to visit.

For example, Fang Minghua had talked with the designers of the Northwest Architectural Design Institute and the Provincial Architectural Design Institute and listened to their design concepts, but Fang Minghua always felt dissatisfied.

In his opinion, the art museum should be a building that perfectly combines modern and traditional, and also reveals the flavor of Chinese style.

How about going to Yanjing and Shencheng to have a look? There are many architectural designers there.

Fang Minghua was thinking about leaving the next day, first going to the Architectural Design Institute of Yanjing University, and of course visiting his daughter by the way.

Daughters Fang Rui and Liu Yifei were successfully admitted to the Yanjing Film Academy. When the school started, the two girls did not need their parents to send them off. They took their own luggage to the school to register. They had not been admitted to this university for many years.

After buying the plane ticket for the next day, Fang Minghua was drinking tea at home that afternoon. The phone suddenly rang. It was an unfamiliar mobile phone number, but she answered it anyway.

A strange woman's voice came from inside, with a little Sichuan accent in her Mandarin.

"You are Chairman Fang, Fang Minghua, right?"

"Yes, may I ask who you are?"

"I am Zhai Yongming from Chengdu, do you remember me?" The woman said with a smile on the phone.

Zhai Yongming? !

The woman's voice was a little strange, but the name Fang Minghua was not strange at all.

An outstanding female poet in China, she began to publish her works in the early 1980s. She was one of the "Five Gentlemen of Bashu" in the poetry world. At this time, a large number of outstanding young poets including Zhai Yongming, Zhang Zao, Bai Hua, Ouyang Jianghe, Shang Zhongmin, and Wan Xia emerged in the Sichuan poetry world, and the stars were shining for a while.

However, more than ten years later, everything disappeared. Most poets either changed careers, went abroad, or returned to obscurity, while Zhai Yongming was one of the few poets who was still active in the poetry world.

Fang Minghua did not meet her many times. The most recent meeting was in 1997 at a poet salon gathering in Los Angeles, USA. She was a girl from Sichuan Province who liked to laugh and was very cheerful.

It was also at that gathering that Fang Minghua proposed the concept of the silver age of modern poetry.

It has been seven years.

Now when she suddenly called me, I smiled and replied, "Why don't you remember? Famous female poet, are you still in the United States now?" Zhai Yongming said.

"No, I returned to China in 1998 and now I have opened a pub on Yulin West Road in Chengdu."

A pub on Yulin Road?

This suddenly reminded Fang Minghua of Zhao Lei's popular folk song "Chengdu" more than ten years later, and she became interested immediately.

"Really? I'll come to your tavern when I'm free."

"Welcome, welcome to Chengdu."

After chatting for a while, Zhai Yongming suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Chairman Fang, I heard that you are going to build an art exhibition hall in Xijing?"

"Ah? No way? This news spread so quickly? Even you know about it?" Fang Minghua was very surprised.

"Haha, a good friend of mine told me." Zhai Yongming said, "His name is Liu Jiakun, and he is an architectural designer.

Oh. Fang Minghua immediately understood something.

But Liu Jiakun?

I seem to have heard of this name?

Fang Minghua thought for a while and then tried to say, "Liu Jiakun, I remember that in the 1980s and 1990s, there was also a writer named Liu Jiakun in your Sichuan Writers Association. He wrote several novels, but later he didn't seem to write novels. I don't know what he did. "

"Haha, you are talking about him! "Zhai Yongming laughed heartily on the other end of the phone and said, "Liu Jiakun graduated from Chongqing Institute of Architecture and Engineering, where he studied architectural design. He wanted to be a writer for a while, but he returned to his old profession after the 1990s, which was considered a change of heart."

Huh?

Zhai Yongming introduced Liu Jiakun on the phone again. He now has a company called Jiakun Architectural Design Office in Chengdu, specializing in architectural design. The team he led designed the Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts New Campus Design Art Museum, Chengdu Sheraton Hotel, Nanjing China International Architectural Art Practice Exhibition Center, etc."

"This friend of mine has a pretty good level of architectural design. He won the China Architectural Art Award and the 7th Asian Construction Association Honorary Award last year. He is also interested in your project. How about you guys chat?"

"Okay." Fang Minghua agreed readily.

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

"In that case, I'll ask him to go to Xijing to find you." Zhai Yongming said.

"Why, don't you come over and chat together?" Fang Minghua said with a smile.

"I want to come, but I have to take care of the tavern and I can't leave for the time being. Why don't you just come to Chengdu? Come and sit in my tavern?"

"Okay." Fang Minghua replied: "Anyway, I don't have anything urgent to do now, and I haven't been to Chengdu for a long time."

"OK, are you taking a plane or a train? Call in advance and I will pick you up at the airport." Zhai Yongming said.

"No need to go to such trouble, I'll go directly to you."

"Okay, give me a call when the time is set."

The two chatted for a few more words and then hung up the phone.

At the Chengdu tavern, Zhai Yongming said to a middle-aged man next to him: "I agreed and came to Chengdu specifically to talk to you."

The middle-aged man is Liu Jiakun. When Zhai Yongming called just now, he was nearby and heard some conversations intermittently, but he was still a little surprised when he heard that Fang Minghua was coming.

"He came to Chengdu specifically?"

"Yes, I came here specifically."

"I understand, he is interested in your tavern." Liu Jiakun said with a smile. "Whether a writer or a poet, there is a kind of romance and sentiment in his heart."

"Aren't you?" Zhai Yong understood him.

"Me? Now I just want to be an excellent architectural designer."

"Then do it well. I have created the opportunity for you. It depends on whether you can grasp it." Zhai Yongming said.

"Don't worry, I will do my homework." Liu Jiakun said with a smile: "I just went to Xijing not long ago and visited the Big Wild Goose Pagoda area to understand the environment there. Besides, I also know Fang Minghua very well."

"how?"

"You said that he is a man with some romantic feelings in his heart."
