Full text of dialogue between Han Han and Chen Danqing

Chat history:

Chen Danqing: Now everyone likes surfing the Internet, and they don't read many newspapers.

Han Han: I have read newspapers and magazines that cost thousands of dollars. Many people ask me whether to bring or send some newspapers from abroad. After surfing the internet, they asked me if I wanted to go to foreign websites through an agent. I didn't want to see any of them. I like reading domestic newspapers, because you can imagine those foreign newspaper websites, and you can draw inferences from others, including their attitude towards China, human rights in China, or politics and society. These attitudes are actually obvious. I just look at what you are allowed to see in China, and sometimes I find it interesting.

Chen Danqing: Think of it as words. magazine What magazines do you read?

Han Han: Basically, I read Sanlian Life Weekly, men's wear and Southern Weekend. I read a lot of magazines and spend a lot of money on some magazines every month. I mainly read materials, because I don't read what others write, and I don't need to read what others write. I need information, even if it is filtered by the government. Because I basically know what unfiltered information looks like, and then you will find it interesting to see the filtered information. You will know that in this country, the stomach is slowly expanding and the mind is shrinking, which is quite interesting. If you put everything down, you can see everything, but it's not fun, it's the same thing as you think.

Chen Danqing: One artist openly admitted that he wanted to see everything. He said that every supermarket is a museum. Usually, traditional artists think this is vulgar and public. He was the first to embrace it. He affirmed it, then faced it, and then turned it into a creation, but you didn't realize it at all.

Han Han: I don't read other people's serious novels and articles I think I am a very impressionable person, and I like this thing very much when I see it. I'm good at imitating, and I can write exactly like him at once. Because I think these are my bad points. Don't read other people's articles, lest you read other people's articles and learn from others.

Many good books have been published in China in the past two years. In the past, some books and movies in China were in short supply. Then many teachers tell you that you can't read this book or that book. In the past, the books we could buy in Xinhua Bookstore were actually things to read, but later, the library is now very wide and tight on movies.

There are also TV programs like this, which are tightly managed, but the books are wide. I think it may be that the book market is really depressed, so I will not pay attention to it. Just write casually, there may be no problem.

Chen Danqing: Because I don't have enough time to watch it all and review it. Just as the censorship of soap operas is much better than that of movies. Because he can give his opinion after watching it for two hours, 20 or 30 episodes and 40 or 50 episodes of TV series have been spent where he can, because he has no time.

Han Han: I just don't read other people's novels I read everything else, because I think reading and studying are definitely necessary. But when I was in junior high school and high school, I had made a lot of preparations. If I read too much, I might as well think for myself. If you become a Christian, I might as well consider religion myself.

I also like painting, because I read magazines earlier, so I will know something, but painting belongs to my interrupted dream. Although I said I liked it, I interrupted it. When I interrupted it, I deliberately smoothed things out. Sometimes I feel uncomfortable when I see other people's paintings are particularly good. My discomfort is not jealousy discomfort, but I feel that there will be some regret discomfort, just like if I didn't publish books in the past, but I like writing, now I am an ordinary person, and I don't care about some books or anything.

Chen Danqing: This is what Hemingway said. He said I never read anything about the afterlife. There is another artist in Germany. I mentioned him in new york's notes. People asked him: What do you think of contemporary art? He said I never thought about them. I never cared about them, but they all cared about me. I don't know if it's true or not, but I said it without thinking.

You don't read other people's novels at all

Han Han: I used to read a lot when I was at school, and I wrote many novels myself. At that time, people wrote well. They should pay great attention to the beauty of this style of writing when writing articles. They will express some very interesting things, which are well written, unlike modern novels.

Chen Danqing: At present, many readers under the age of 30 skip all China writers and look directly at the things of the Republic of China. I pay great attention to this phenomenon. These most outstanding writers in the 1980s still played a great role in our generation at that time. They were born in the 1960s and played a great role, so they are useless to you. I am particularly happy about this.

Han Han: At that time, the school had a library to read books, and I liked to show off. An article 1000 words. I wanted to write this word 1000 wonderfully. Later found that * * * and China writers don't have this ability. Later, I thought Liang Shiqiu's words were very lively, so I read more of their words. Including Lao She's contradiction, their writing style is very poor.

Chen Danqing: And Ba Jin, who doesn't write well. Bing Xin can't see at all. Lao She can read it without looking. Qian Zhongshu certainly has good knowledge and opinions, but he is not the kind of writer I like.

The May 4th generation was a pioneer, and pioneers were naive at first. Except for Lu Xun, he was sophisticated at first, but he was also very talented. Just like Cao Yu, who wrote a script in his twenties, he knew all his life that there was no way to surpass it, and he couldn't write it by drinking and swearing.

I can understand this situation very well now. Everyone said that I was a good painter, and I admitted that I couldn't draw it now, but I didn't know why. It's just that it's the same as sex, and the erection state is different. I can't help it

I like Lu Xun and Zhou Zuoren, and then others have good things, such as Lao She's Camel Xiangzi, which is still very good, although I haven't finished reading it; Ba Jin read it when he was a child, but he almost forgot Family Spring and Autumn. I can't read anything in my later years. What is truth gathering? He was completely destroyed by Beijing and had no talent.

Han Han: The worst thing about them is their writing. I can't read at all. What we put in the text, our students think the article should be written like this. We should write articles in a down-to-earth manner, with explanations and problems. Articles should be literary and artistic, and things like Liang Shiqiu should be put in textbooks. Because of political factors, these things are not in our textbooks. So we think this thing needs to be memorized when we are young. It must be wonderful. It must be the most wonderful thing in China culture. Recite there. Later, I found out that in fact, we all recite words that describe things that are particularly unpleasant, so I began to write articles like this. If Qian Zhongshu had been put in, the students' compositions in China would not be as they are now, and they would certainly be better, and they would have a better understanding of the real knowledge of literature and writing.

I'm glad I don't like those, so the article I'm writing now is really influential, that is, the influence of those people.

I think writing an article, first of all, literature is a degree in writing, and a person's writing is the first. I think people who write well are not bad in all aspects.

Chen Danqing: I am a little special because I went abroad on 1982. At that time, I hardly read China's new novels, but they were very interesting. I know Wang Anyi and Acheng. Later, I thought they were really excellent writers of our generation. Wang Anyi can tell stories, especially about girls' psychology. Acheng's literary talent is very good, and he was quite mature as soon as he came up.

From then on, I couldn't get used to those new writers, such as Yu Hua and Su Tong. I read a page and put it down. Then I said I was sorry, but I put it down again. That's it. The stories are all good, as long as you live. I don't want to read that novel any more, so it's wrong to use a pen. But this is offensive, and the naming thing is hard to say, but I can only say that he didn't fool me and didn't let me watch.

Han Han: Me too. I haven't read any of Yu Hua's novels yet. I have his books at home. I have seen the film "To Be Alive", but as you said, the book has turned over two pages. I don't think this writing style is my favorite. You can feel that he is writing in the language of western translated novels. Frankly speaking, when this program comes out, everyone will say that we are hype in the end.

Chen Danqing: Arrogant, hype, swearing. I think our education in China has failed. I thought it was a success, but at least it didn't work for you. Our language is a terrible language education, what theme, central idea, paragraph play. As far as I know, it is. We have hated it since we were young, but we have no reason to refuse to do it.

Now the teacher is also a problem. Sometimes it doesn't matter if the textbook is almost the same, but it is important for the teacher to tell you this every day.

Han Han: If you talk too much, like a teacher poisoning teenagers,

Chen Danqing: This hat is very big. Anyone who looks unpleasant can be labeled as poisoning teenagers.

Han Han: Anyway, a person can be said to be cutting-edge just because he is pleasing to the eye. He is promoting a new thing, but once you want to look pleasing to the eye, anyone can put on a hat that poisons teenagers, which is not good.
