Shi Guangnan

To liberation.

1976 10 the gang of four was crushed, and Shi Guangnan turned the people's feelings of liberation and their own joy into a song "toast song", which immediately spread all over China, intoxicated hundreds of millions of people in China, became a generation of ode, and was compiled into a worldwide music textbook by UNESCO. His later songs, such as "Grapes in Turpan are ripe" and "In the field of hope", sang China people's longing for the future and became enduring songs of the times. His music is rooted in the soil of the people and is a well-deserved "people's musician". Wang paid more attention to folk music, local operas, folk songs and minority music than anyone else. The idealism and positive spirit in his music inspired the era when everything was dying, and it was a scarce spiritual resource for the new generation who grew up humming "I'm so bored recently".

1977

Jingrun Chen

March into science

1977 10 3 Xinhua News Agency reported that Chen Jingrun, Institute of Mathematics, China Academy of Sciences, had achieved fruitful results in demonstrating Goldbach's conjecture, a difficult problem in world number theory. This achievement is called "Chen Theorem", and Chen Jingrun's deeds are vigorously publicized. The mathematician immediately became the new idol of a generation of young people, and learning, emphasizing and applying science began to become the common practice of a new generation of young people. Then in 1978, Deng Xiaoping first proposed that "science and technology are also productive forces". In the same year, People's Daily and Guangming Daily reprinted Xu Chi's reportage Goldbach Conjecture. This article greatly aroused the scientific consciousness of Chinese people, and made this "conjecture" the most famous mathematical problem in contemporary China. With the story of Chen Jingrun, the boring term "Goldbach conjecture" became the coordinate of young people's struggle, and "March to science" became the most inspiring slogan. At the same time, intellectuals began to gain their due social status. When children of that era were asked "What do they want to be when they grow up", they would forcefully answer: "Be a scientist!"

1978

Liu

The era favored by literature

1978 The novel The Head Teacher won the National Excellent Short Story Award. The article points directly at the educational problems of the younger generation left over from the "Cultural Revolution" and calls for "saving children". The author Liu used his novels to express his political opinions, "exposing obscurantism and obscurantism policy in the Cultural Revolution", and created a precedent of "scar literature" and became famous in one fell swoop.

At that time, Liu was 35 years old and lived in a small bungalow of 10 square meters in Liu Yin Street near Shichahai. According to the author's memory, he hesitated at the moment when he put the submission letter into the mailbox because of the strong reflection and doubt in the text. This novel in a specific historical period, while making him famous in a specific era, has also become an "indelible symbol" in his life, and he prefers to "locate it in a lost time".

The "scar literature" in the late 1970s sharply reflected on history. The author often expresses the pain from the soul through personal voice and personal experience, and holds a strong negative attitude towards the "Cultural Revolution".

"The Head Teacher" describes a head teacher visiting students' homes after class, "like a seeder that never rusts, constantly sowing the seeds of revolutionary ideas and knowledge in students' hearts". At the end of the novel, it reads: "At this time, fragrant flowers are brought, and the stars all over the sky are blinking and smiling, as if to affirm and encourage Mr. Zhang's ideas ..." It is as plain as a middle school student's composition, and it has not completely broken away from the discourse pattern left over from the' Cultural Revolution' period. Some readers feel that the novel is like an' urgent article' that adapts to the times. The creation of The Head Teacher shows that a generation has moved from despair to hope, from complaining about the irreparable pain of the times to a rational analysis of the times. It reflects the propaganda caliber needed at that time.

After retirement, Liu claimed that he was "used to living on the edge and writing on the edge" and was no longer an active figure in various meetings in the "literary world". "My personality has always been very quiet, a bit as withdrawn as Miaoyu." He goes online every day and often attends private parties. "I only see the people I want to see and do what I like."

I live in the country for a lot of time in a year. "I always feel very happy when I am with my friends in these villages and in the city." Through the window of Wenyuzhai in the study, you can see a valley field between Chaobai River and Wenyu River. In addition to writing, he also went to the wild to sketch in sunny days and began to illustrate his paintings and calligraphy. He studied calligraphy, architecture, playing with tickets and interpreting the Red Chamber. At this time, he fully demonstrated the imagination of a novelist.

Liu told the Secret History of the Red Chamber in the lecture room of CCTV. "Qin Keqing brought back from Yangshengtang is actually the princess of the abandoned prince's family." He initiated the school of "Qin Studies" with research as its decoding, and became the focus of "China Cultural Circle in 2005".

Redology scholars questioned Liu's academic point of view, arguing that the prototype he pursued did not exist at all, and the cultural circles also fought a lively war of words. "I can disagree with you, but I will defend your right to speak to the death." Liu complained: If you see me coming, take me as a target.

Hu commented in Southern Weekend, "In the Dream of Red Mansions incident, Liu obviously occupied the commanding heights of CCTV from the beginning, and his right to express himself far exceeded that of the Dream of Red Mansions group. Why does he need us to defend his right to speak? On the contrary, it is precisely the group of redologists who really need to safeguard the right of expression. In most of the denunciations of online public opinion, in the almost one-sided accusations of the cultural circles, and in the media's hype, the voice of redologists has actually been weakened or even denied. Of course, Liu has his freedom of speech, but redologists criticize his freedom of speech even more. Otherwise, suppressing the right of expression of redologists in the name of defending Liu's right of expression will become a satire on academic freedom. "

It seems too much to use this sentence to describe a "celebrity" and writer Liu. He thinks that his Secret of a Dream of Red Mansions has at least one advantage, that is, it is "interesting". Indeed, as a fan of A Dream of Red Mansions, I can interpret "Qin Studies" in A Dream of Red Mansions as a vivid "Secret History of Qing Dynasty". Whether it is academically tenable or not, there are still many suspense, which I really have to admire. In the third issue of Freedom of Literature in 2000, Liu published "seven pieces of advice to grandniece", one of which was "Don't trust advertisements", and someone wrote a quip: Don't trust advertisements, writer.

1979

Teresa Teng

Thawed mind

Most people who grew up in the 1970' s had the experience of covering the tape recorder under the quilt to eavesdrop on the honey. In the eyes of many mainlanders, Teresa Teng is the most successful female singer in the history of China. Teresa Teng's songs are popular in Chinese mainland because she broke the ideological hard dirt wrapped around people with her softest songs. People suddenly found that music is no longer just a weapon to boost morale and attack the enemy. We can enjoy the beauty of music and the innocence of emotion to the fullest. Even today, Teresa Teng has not been forgotten. After all, people can't give up tenderness and truth. Without people's hearts, music would not exist.
