Liang Yusheng's Creative Career

Liang Yusheng was born in a scholarly family. He is familiar with ancient Chinese prose and is good at couplets. At the age of eight, he could recite 300 Tang poems. After finishing high school in Guilin Middle School, Guangxi, I fell in love with middle school lyrics. Due to the Japanese invasion, several Guangdong literati took refuge in Mengshan, so they followed the prayer flags and essays as their teachers. Jian Youwen, an expert in the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and Tsung i Jao, who is famous for his Dunhuang studies, poetry and calligraphy, both lived in his home, and Liang Yusheng also studied history and literature from them. After returning to Guangzhou with my teacher, I was admitted to Lingnan University (now Guangzhou) majoring in international economy. 65438-0949 settled in Hong Kong and was introduced by the principal as the assistant editor of Ta Kung Pao Supplement. He was quickly corrected and became a member of the editorial board. /kloc-at the end of 0/950, the new evening newspaper of Ta Kung Pao in Hong Kong was published, and Liang Yusheng was transferred to the new evening newspaper. That year, his father was falsely accused and detained in his hometown, and was killed by mistake soon, at the age of 56. (In the mid-1980s, Guangxi officials invited Liang Yusheng to visit his mother in his hometown many times. Liang Yusheng asked for a new screening of his father's case, but implicitly said that he would not return to his hometown unless he was rehabilitated. After investigation, Chen Xinyu was killed by mistake, and the mengshan county Municipal Government was rehabilitated below). At the beginning of 1954, due to the sensation of "Wu Gongyi, Chen Wushu Performance and Hong Lingyi Singing Fundraising Meeting", Jinghua wrote it casually, which was the beginning of the "new school" martial arts novels. Since then, I have been writing nonstop. Until 1983, the sword of Wudang * * * serialized 33 martial arts novels, and it was only when the legend of the fortress and the dust silk of the sword net were published that they split in two. Because the Three Wonders of Wulin are still being revised, there are 34 that have been handed down to this day. Some revised versions of novels were published before and after the closure of the pen, but they were not published. His works have been adapted into TV or movies for many times. He thinks that three books are representative works, namely "The Legend of the Female Emperor" and "The Jade Bow in the Sea of Clouds".

During the period of 1954, there was a dispute between Taiji School and Baihe School in Hong Kong Wushu circle. First, they attacked each other in the newspaper, and then they met in the new garden of Macao to compete for the right to showdown. Wu Gongyi, the head of Taiji Sect, and Chen, the head of Baihe Sect, fought in the ring for the benefit of the Sect. The contest was hyped by Hong Kong and Macao newspapers and caused a sensation in Hong Kong. Luo Fu, a friend of Chen, editor-in-chief of New Evening News, had a brainwave. In order to satisfy readers' interest, he announced in the newspaper on the second day of the contest that he would publish a wonderful martial arts novel for readers to read. On the third day, the New Evening News published the martial arts novel Long Hudou Jinghua with the signature of Liang Yusheng. Jinghua in Long Hudou is the beginning of the new martial arts novel. With the publication of Long Hudou Jinghua, Liang Yusheng-Liang Daxia's "New School of Martial Arts Novels" has taken shape. In his speech in 2005, he publicly explained the origin of his pen name for the first time, pointing out that because Liang was earlier than Chen in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and it was also an era when scholars came forth in large numbers, he took the surname Liang, and combined with friends in Taiwan Province Province to give a sentence, "The legend of a feather guest won every paper; Gong Sheng said that eternal channeling "became famous. On February 2, 2004, he was awarded an honorary doctorate by Lingnan University in Hong Kong. Known as the originator of the new school of martial arts novels, he was awarded an honorary doctor of literature by Lingnan University in 2004 and "Liang Yusheng Library" by China Modern Literature Museum. Join the Chinese Writers Association.

In 2009, Liang Yusheng was awarded the "Lifetime Achievement Award in Australian and Chinese Cultural Circles" by the Federation of Australian Chinese Cultural Organizations in Sydney. Liang Yusheng's achievement lies in opening a new generation of martial arts novels. The "new school" is not only their pretense, but also recognized by the society. Although the old martial arts novels are also in full swing, they have always been despised by the new literature and are always difficult to be elegant. At that time, newspapers that boasted elegance and newspapers that boasted big newspapers disdained publishing. The readers of Martial Arts are still short of intellectuals, but they are mainly "literati" at the lower level. At that time, the status of martial arts novels was like wandering artists. Although many people read them, they are still not worthy of respect. When Liang and Jin came out, the situation suddenly changed. Major newspapers have also published at a high price, and readers have spread all over all walks of life, such as Hongkong, Taiwan Province, Singaporeans and Malaysians, creating a new century. Subsequently, the special study of martial arts novels gradually became a craze, which was even better than pure literature.

Liang Yusheng is also a martial arts judge. 1966, Guang Hai Literature and Art published Tong Shuozhi's essay "On Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng", which was actually written by Liang Yusheng. He said: "Liang Yusheng is a celebrity with a strong flavor (Chinese style), while Jin Yong is a modern' foreign genius'. Liang Yusheng is deeply influenced by China's traditional culture (including poetry, novels, history, etc.). ), and Jin Yong's acceptance of western literature and art (including movies) is more important. " This view is still echoing today.

1977 gave a lecture on "Looking at chivalrous novels from a literary perspective" at the Singapore Writers Association, and put forward the view that "no weapons are inferior to chivalrous men". 1979, he met the famous mathematician Hua in Birmingham, England. Hua Lao had just finished reading Liang Yusheng's "The Jade Bow in the Sea of Clouds" at that time, so he proposed that martial arts novels were nothing more than "adult fairy tales" for Liang Yusheng. Liang Yusheng also joined the Chinese Writers Association, attended the Fourth Congress of the Chinese Writers Association and made a speech at the meeting. Voice for the status of martial arts novels. Someone once wrote a poem for Liang Yusheng: There are strange people in Jintian, and Xia Ying said that they were born with feathers. South chess is good, Dongpo loves others. The horizontal knife is a hundred mountains, and the sword light is. Don't have a career, the satellite is brighter. "Jintian" is Jintian Village of Taiping Rebellion, near his hometown Mengshan. The blur is the blur's record. Chess fan said that he was good at writing chess characters. Feelings outside the bamboo is taken from Su Dongpo's "Eating without meat is better than living without bamboo", saying that Liang Yusheng loves to eat meat and fat meat, which is contrary to Dongpo's poems. "Return the sword" is taken from his "Legend of the Chivalrous Man Returning the Sword", which also means that he washed his hands, sealed and hung up his sword, and stopped writing martial arts. "Don't have a future" said that he would write a historical novel about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. In addition, Liang Yusheng also has profound attainments in the creation of prose and essays, and once co-authored essays such as Three Swords with Jin Yong and Fan Chen (the master of Hundred Swords Hall).

As the founder of the new martial arts novels, Liang Yusheng created a new style of martial arts novels with a just style. Later, he moved to Australia and devoted himself to historical research.
