This year marks the 70th anniversary of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. Speaking of this period of history, we will immediately think of "the wind and the clouds sing heroes ……" and the heroic line "Fire at me for victory" in the movie Heroes and Children.
When Ba Lao was ill, the first book he listened to me read was a collection of letters from his wife Xiao Shan. After reading nearly 100 books in the early 1950s, I learned about his two experiences in South Korea, and the origin of the "reunion" of heroic children became clear in my mind. ...
At the beginning of 1952, Cao Yu was entrusted by Ding Ling, Minister of Propaganda Department of the Ministry of Literature and Art of the Communist Party of China, and wrote a letter to Ba Jin to mobilize him to join the creative group organized by the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles. Ba Jin and Xiao Shan agreed after discussion. Soon, 17 creative workers, under the leadership of Ba Jin, dressed in military uniforms, boarded the military ranks, crossed the Yalu River and came to smoke-filled North Korea. In the creative group, except Ba Jin and writer Huang Guliu, they are all under 40. In order to collect more materials, Ba Jin adopted the method of "less rest and more running" and took young people over mountains and mountains to be interspersed between blockade lines. Once, heavy rain poured into the bomb shelter where he lived. When he heard that the army chief was going to inspect the frontier position, he ignored the flood that reached the edge of the bed and told the writer Wei Wei to leave. The rain wet his glasses, so he walked too fast and was unfamiliar with the road. When crossing the traffic ditch, his foot slipped and fell heavily into the bottom of the ditch. In the frontier highlands, he has become a "clay figurine".
What impressed Ba Jin was an interview with six companies. In the tug-of-war of the Sixth Company, Zhao Xianyou, an assistant instructor, took the lead and fought bravely to kill the enemy. Under the cover of tanks, American troops rushed to the position. At this moment, there are only two people left in the company, he and the correspondent. In the face of the enemy who rushed up, Zhao Xianyou shot and asked the head of the team, Zhang Zhenchuan, to shell the position through the intercom. After a while, he shouted, "Shoot me! Shoot me! " Finally, this position was taken back. Zhao Xianyou died. After the war, the story of Zhao Xianyou's martyrs was described in detail to Pakistan. Many years later, when Zhang Zhenchuan, commander of the Hebei Military Region, wrote a letter asking Ba Lao to write an inscription for the statue of martyrs, Ba Lao wrote with trembling hands: "Wang's combat hero-Zhao Xianyou, a special war hero. Ba Jin, 199 1 August 20th, 2008. "
196 1 year, Ba Jin wrote a short story "Reunion in Hangzhou Guest House", which was published in Shanghai Literature in the same year. Attracted the attention of literary and art leaders Mao Dun, Xia Yan and Huang Mei. Xia Yan asked changchun film studio to adapt the novel into a film. In the early 1990s, when chatting with Ba Lao, I asked him who was the author of the adaptation. Ba Lao said that both Wu and General Fu Zhong's secretary Mao Feng had participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
1964 After the film Heroes and Children was released, it received rave reviews. Soon, Premier Zhou said in a telephone call to Liu, secretary of the Party Committee of the Chinese Writers Association, "Writers should lead a warm life. Please discuss this matter with the General Political Department. Please ask Ba Jin to take the lead. He is very good at resisting US aggression and aiding Korea and going deep into life. He wrote such a good work as Heroes and Children. "
At the end of 1994, "Wang Cheng" and "Wang Fang" were invited by the Writers' Association to give a recitation performance for Reunion in Shanghai. Brother and sister have been separated for 30 years. It is a joy to meet again because of Ba Lao's works. At this time, I was even more delighted to hear that the hospital agreed to let them visit Ba Lao.
On February 24th, 65438, I accompanied them to the ward. Although Ba Lao was seriously ill in bed, he heard that his "Wang Cheng" and "Wang Fang" came to visit. He put on the glasses he hadn't worn for a long time, and wanted to have a closer look at the "heroic sons and daughters" coming from the screen.
After entering the door, Liu Shilong and Liu Shangxian respectively held Ba Lao's hand and leaned over and said, "I am Wang Cheng!" "I am Wang Fang!" Liu Shilong also shouted in Ba Lao's ear: "Shoot me! Shoot me! " Ba Lao nodded and said, "I have seen your performance. I was very moved to see the volunteers fighting bravely in North Korea, but I didn't write my work well. " After that, he raised his hand and accepted the "brother and sister" New Year card, saying, "I am in poor health today. When I am well, I will definitely send you a book. " Liu Shangxian said: "Ba Lao, your Essay was given to us by the Shanghai Writers Association, and we will definitely read your book."
When I heard that Ba Lao's novels almost influenced their lives, I thought of a sentence by director Zhang Yimou, "Literature carries a film". He vividly said that literature provided a good foundation for movies. The film Heroes and Children has been enduring for a long time and has become a well-known classic, and its artistic laws are also included. (Lu Zhengwei)
