Park: Tong Qingbing's Oral Autobiography

This book is the oral autobiography of Mr. Tong Qingbing (1936-2015), telling how he grew from a poor farmer to a leading figure in Chinese literary theory. In Mr. Tong's view, this was purely an "accident", not only because poverty could deprive him of the right to study at any time, but also because in the twentieth century of the movement, there were very few times when he could study with peace of mind. The reason why he has not been abandoned by the times is not only because of his super ability to use diligence to retaliate after setbacks, but also because of his simplicity, which makes his humanity not swayed by politics and has the opportunity to avoid the domestic whirlpool and continue self-cultivation through "stolen" books. In addition to retracing his experiences in childhood, the revolutionary era and the new era, reviewing his ideological and intellectual growth, and revealing his confusion, doubts, happiness and unhappiness throughout his life, Mr. Tong also fondly recalled his wife and teachers (such as Huang Yaomian, Qi Gong, etc.), And vividly described his interactions with friends (such as Ji Xianlin, Wang Meng, Wang Zengqi, etc.) And students (such as Mo Yan, etc.).
