Chapter 68 my day in the life of a writer

The editor of the newspaper wrote to me many times asking me to write "My Day".I don't think there is a writer these days who has a more uneventful, more tedious day, with less to write about than mine!Moreover, I fell ill shortly after returning from my visit to Japan in 1980. I have lived in seclusion for six years. I have no experience of traveling and visiting friends. My day is just like this. I wake up every day. Very early in the morning, I was fully awake before about six o'clock. At this time, I thought the most, such as things to do this day, people to meet, letters or texts to write, etc.At this time, there are one or two poems of the ancients, as if they had been buried in the bottom of my mind for a long time, and suddenly surfaced. I don’t know which poet wrote them early this morning:

Wan Shan was speechless looking at Jiao Shan and the two poems chanting Zhou Yu that he saw on his grandfather's desk more than 70 years ago in the collection "The Clock of Poetry": Xiao Qiao removes her armor and puts on her red makeup (About "Poetry Bell", I have to explain: this is the form that people studying poetry in Fuzhou at that time practiced together. They don't have to write a poem of Qijue or Qilu, as long as they can write two sentences of dual sentences A seven-character sentence is fine. But these two seven-character poems have many frames, such as the two sentences I quoted above. "Four words, and so on.) I used the flashlight next to the pillow to see that it was six o'clock on the small clock next to the bed, and turned on the small radio next to the pillow—this was a gift from Kazuko Giza from a Japanese friend—and listened to the central "Scientific Knowledge" and "Across the Motherland" or "Health and Health" programs on the radio station, and after listening to "News and Newspaper Digests", I get up, have breakfast at seven, and count with the little aunt who cooks after dinner For the food account, I just write yesterday’s diary, and simply write down: who I met, what letters I received, what books I read, etc., and then I lie down and rest again, in order to refresh myself before work in the morning.I can’t fall asleep when I’m resting, so I turn on the radio next to my pillow to listen to music in order to avoid random thoughts. I don’t have any musical training, although I also like to listen to foreign music such as "Carmen" and "Messiah"—— Especially the one conducted by Karajan; but I prefer to listen to Chinese folk songs, which are always kind and pleasing to my ears--I like "Moon of the Fifteenth" very much, and I think this song is poignant and tragic.

I must get up at nine o'clock, because at this time my little daughter's precious cat, "Mimi", has already arched in. He jumped on my desk, waiting for me to feed him some dried fish, and not to send him away , I can't do anything! When Mimi was satisfied, she listened to my instructions and curled up on a small sofa beside the table, and then I began to write the letters I needed to write, and read the books, newspapers, and periodicals I needed to read.After lunch at twelve o'clock, I lay down to rest again, and at this time I was listening to the continuous broadcast of the novel by CCTV.What I admire most is Chen Zude's "Beyond the Self", and then Yuan Kuocheng's.

I have read this book since I was seven years old, and I have read it countless times since then. When I was eleven or twelve years old, I saw "Guan Gong" died, and I threw it away; Dropped it again.I didn't manage to finish reading the whole book until I was in college.Unexpectedly, Yuan Kuocheng's storytelling has been "romantic" again, and the acting is really good!The personalities of the characters are not out of shape, and they are very lively and interesting. Therefore, I have heard "three points will be unified" from "it is said that the world will be divided for a long time, and the long-term must be united". ", also appear to be magnificent.I think it is not easy to be a "good" storyteller!

At two o'clock in the afternoon, I got up on time again, because Mimi opened the door again and came in. There are two "meals" in the morning and afternoon, and it will never lose time. In the afternoon, of course, I read newspapers and wrote.Dinner is at seven, and I never read or write after dinner, I just watch TV. "News broadcast" is a must-see. Besides, I like to watch football games. No matter what kind of "ball" it is, I don't just watch skills. I like to watch as long as Chinese players compete with their own or foreign teams. "Sheng Gu gladly , defeat is also gratifying", I know that the sons and daughters of China will continue to struggle.

In addition, even watching feature films, such as domestic ones and foreign ones such as "Oshin", I feel friendly when watching them. There are other good ones, but I don’t have a deep impression, and I can’t remember them for a while. At ten o'clock at night, I must go to bed, take sleeping pills and sleep.The habit of taking medicine was developed during the ten years of turmoil. I only took "Mianertong" at first, but now I have improved to "Sukemian". No, the rush of thought is what I can't stand the most! This is my routine day, but it's not always the case. I often have unexpected calls and unexpected guests. Sometimes it makes me happy, sometimes it annoys me, sometimes it wears me out, and it always makes me feel The "things" are endless, but this reminds me of what my mother often comforted and taught me, "Every day a person lives, there is a day's work, and 'things' are as long as a person's life." 1987 2 month 13
