Summer 2004, hangzhou seven arts festival, I was fortunate to acquaint with Mr Bai xianyong, he designed for youth version, the peony pavilion in seven arts festival performance. Young when he likes to read "port literature", I used to his words of choose macc makeups course not strange, from "Taipei people" to the New Yorker, the benefits of the fresh life is like within reach.if, those characters from the construction of bai xianyong grand view garden ", "all the circle in the specific among all, however, it has the distinctive and special personality.
Mr Bai night suddenly want to go to hangzhou dahua hotel "eat", let me accompany. He said he was YiJiu, a decade ago she director clap [the last noble "is here to talk. Then they at bajiao bower dinners, under the nose is west lake water.
"All flowers I alone bell camellia. Camellia noble, white tea and black tea concentrated graceful li, powder, camellia qiao propagates, femininity. If not spare biograhpical provoking flowering, a tree, also be good-looking poses Bess." He in the tree like this "it said. Bishi he has settled in America an apartment house in Santa Barbara, according to his interest in the garden planting a lot of flowers and plants. A plant Buddha tea, his favorite. By early spring, an open flower is gigantic like dish, brilliant ground reflects the old man excited face.
Why he was so preference Buddha camellia sinensis, actually a segment of the origin of life, it is his second big fire. To Buddha tea peixin soil, he had a heart attack disease, handle postoperative rehabilitation, asymptotic GuXiZhiNian, he profoundly the kindness to others, he from Buddhism in sleep out of this world "ever-changing", "FangSheng square death". That night if it weren't for him at that point to Buddha piety death may come late at night in the dream.
With Mr Bai contact few days, I felt as a literary everybody's charm. The peony pavilion tour, he did not receive KunJuYuan a penny, even from the United States also fly Chinese ticket themselves to pay, This a few days before the play starts, he spent 5000 multivariate tickets for remote and to a friend, The actor's ill, he personally contact the best doctor for its treatment; In the last scene tand is night 10 when over 30 points, he still accept Chinese drama college graduate department's invitation, do several hours of the lecture, until the night to return to the hotel, he said to me, "these are all drama academy students, future opera on their inheritance work to develop, so this lecture is very meaningful."
For Mr Bai, show the value of spirit, I cannot introduce all the statements. He is passionate about, to be a perfectionist. California university 29 years, ought to do, but he sat to save kunqu career move. Recent his youth version record "and the" jade throughout the tour industry highly praised.
In words heart pain
Mr. White has told me: write novels is the most important of the characters, actually storyline and detail are therefore and service. This is actually very good generalizes the characteristics of his novel.
Who read his works readers will remember the provocative, Yin king tai XueYan of grace, Mrs. Li jing, money of the lonely... Shape form various, like really have the person, but Mr Bai only exist. Fancy a blue blood of his early to study here, still of Chinese culture in his hand, LiuJun written by bai xianyong biography "sentiment and beauty" in, I found the answer - originally, he taught at the university of California in the library during vacation, use a lot of reading Chinese cultural history.
He in beauty while they study in Taiwan is still not to give up with students started the modern literature "publications and OuYangZi, WangWenXing, ChenReXi etc. Have been unremitting ground writing, sponsorship, until no longer sustain won't go down, Mr Bai even sell father whose house, personally ride to go along peddled tricycles. It is the enthusiasm and persistence, both open western literature horizon, and the western creative skills, bishi literary style were comprehensively, also make this publication has been considered Taiwan modern literature history milestone logo.
Recently, Princeton university press and Mr. White's novel, the lonely old posts cheng reprint of seventeen ", "Taipei people", the New Yorker and the heel of four department with readers like cheese as delicate urban amazing binding, sure enough, take it on fear that changed.
Mr Bai writing short stories, long only the heel of a snapshot, I finished watching the heel of drama, several times been touched, living and dying and living and dying, exotic homesickness sentiment, love, hate chi twining, such as human purgatory partitioned off two sides, like the world will innermost feelings most claustrophobic caves cut in two. He said: "I'm writing, because I want to use words will be the most human heart wordless pain to express them." If he protaryed 100 character, he is actually replace these 100 characters of the pain ZaMo carefully taste.
You can't say bai xianyong is a miracle, lasted for more than half a century of glorious fame. The door was the son of origin, age 6 lung disease bring sensitive and lonely opened he turned writer's unique view. Success in Taiwan university of water conservancy project specialized a year later, again test Taiwan university foreign language, and thereafter own literary career, when studying in the United States, had taught at the university of California, his writing underwent several stages.
From the gold great grandmother "to" people in Taipei"
In 1958, he in the literary magazine published work "golden great grandmother" namely to language.thus style of writing about the status of women in the feudal society, when he humbled novels rested on the pre-vice this magazine of XiaJiAn sir desk, kidnap recognition, novel after been published.
This novel GeEr "to" let the child's perspective to see next door pedigree Kim family staged a tragedy, novel depicts reality, exquisite, the golden great grandmother goodness, helplessness, BingYangYang image behave realistically, and will be abnormal evil force contrast more grotesque and violence. Novels lies in use child's perspective to the performance of the adult world, and the author not terrorist make sedulous evaluation, this is a kind of until the objective perspective of spontaneous self-communion readers.
Bai xianyong early works style which is obvious, as the "jade qing sister-in-law" also with the child's perspective, even the name is also called "let GeEr", although these works narrative skills present simplification, however depict character of bright, performance of deep theme is really usable "language.thus" 2 words to describe. "We see chrysanthemum to go" is dedicated to the premature death of his sister first Ming, with American dramatist Tennessee Williams is same, he also for his suffering from schizophrenia sister to feel the spring pain.
