My life is a book that I can't bear to finish, and fate has bound me badly.

I come from Xiangyang, Hubei. /kloc-at the age of 0/2, he began to be a private teacher in rural primary schools in his hometown. If I don't leave my hometown and stick to it, I will become a full-time teacher.

I couldn't stand the boring days of sitting and watching the sky in the country and came to Beijing. I want to see the world. I was twenty years old.

After I came to Beijing, my life was not smooth. Mainly because I am lazy, stupid and stupid. I can't finish what others do in half an hour in three hours. Hands are too stupid, more stupid than the average person. I work as a waiter in a restaurant, and when I serve dishes with plates, I fall down and drop them. Making some money will only make you hungry.

I wasted two years in Beijing and felt that I was a person who could not see the ideal flame. He married a Northeastern and married himself hastily.

Married only five or six years, gave birth to two daughters. Father's business is getting worse and worse, drinking and hitting people every day. I really couldn't stand domestic violence and decided to take my two children back to my hometown Xiangyang for help. That man didn't look for us. Later, I heard that he went to Russia from Manchuria, and now he is probably drunk on the streets of Moscow.

I went back to my hometown and told my mother that I would live alone with my two daughters in the future.

In my childhood, my little sister and I lay on the bed foot by foot reading novels. If your eyes are tired, just talk for a while. I asked my sister: We have read countless biographies of celebrities. Which celebrity do you admire most? The little sister said: the celebrities written in the book are invisible and intangible. I am not convinced. The person I admire most is our little brother.

I listened to it, but I didn't agree. Yes, the celebrities in the book are invisible and intangible. But of all the people we can see and come into contact with in our lives, I trust my mother the most. My little brother is just a child prodigy.

My mother Zhang Xianzhi was born on1July 20th, 936. /kloc-at the age of 0/4, she was democratically elected as the director of women because of her eloquence and good at helping people solve contradictions. Since 1950, he has been in power for 40 years, longer than Saddam Hussein and Gaddafi. However, this is not the reason why I believe in my mother.

When my mother was only a few years old, her pseudo-grandfather betrothed her to a house or even a neighbor of the house, that is, my father, and then my mother could help my uncle. My father was a handsome and elegant man when he was young, but the relationship between my parents was not good at all. They quarrel every day.

As long as I can remember, my impression of my father is the shadow of a big tree, which is visible but useless. Father doesn't talk, he is in poor health and can't do manual work. All five children in the family are supported by their mothers.

My mother is a rural woman, born in the evil old society and never went to school for a day. But our five brothers and sisters are all named by our mother. Mother named her brother Fan Yun and her brother Fan Fei. I hope my two sons can grow up and fly in the clouds. It's much more casual for mom to name our three sisters. My sister's name is Fan Guiren, which means that when osmanthus flowers bloom, it is in the shape of an adult. My little sister was born when plum blossoms were in full bloom. She should be named Ren Mei, but Ren Mei is homophonic "moldy" and unlucky. Mother named her Fan Meihua. I am the youngest child. I was born when chrysanthemums were in full bloom. My mother named me Fan. When I was twelve years old, I read the most popular romance novel misty rain, which was written by Aunt Qiong Yao. He changed his name without authorization and called himself Fan Suyu.

Big brother has the autonomy to study since he was a child, but he has no talent to go to school. I can't bear to sleep and study every night. I took the exam for a year, but I didn't go to college. I retailed for a year, but I still failed. Eldest brother got angry and said that he failed the college entrance examination and jumped out of the farm gate. Big brother wants to be a writer. Our family is a very poor family. Both sisters are physically disabled. They have been seeing a doctor for many years, and their family is poor. But because eldest brother wants to be a writer, being a writer requires input. Eldest brother changed the rice and wheat at home into money, and the money was changed into literary publications and masterpieces. Without food, our whole family eats sweet potatoes. Fortunately, none of my mother's five children were born of a hungry ghost, and none of them protested against the poor food.

Eldest brother studied and wrote for several years, but he didn't become a writer. I have added a strong literati flavor to my body. I am sloppy and open my mouth. Such people are called "people who drink literature" in the village, and are despised as Kong Yiji in Lu Xun's works.

However, Big Brother is different from Kong Yiji. Big brother has our brave mother. Because of my mother, no one gave my eldest brother a contemptuous look.

Mom is eloquent, and opening her mouth is good for her posture. She has been a matchmaker for a long time and is called "Red Leaf" in Xiangyang. Mom doesn't charge a penny for being a red leaf. She is purely doing good, calling herself a volunteer in the present words. In the countryside in the early 1980s, every family had several poor children. The man is married and the woman is married. People like mom are the most popular talents.

Big brother didn't become a writer or jump out of the farm. It doesn't matter. But big brother needs to get married, which is a big deal. This type of person, like big brother, is called composition madman in the village, not daughter-in-law. But we have a great mother, who can always say black and white, and can turn the shortcomings of big brother into advantages. Under my mother's awe, our family was poor, and we found a wife as simple as Sophora japonica in spring for our eldest brother.

Married eldest brother is still pedantic. He told his mother that village officials, though small, were also part of corrupt officials. He made a fool of himself by telling his mother not to be a village official. At that time, although I was young, I thought my eldest brother was very funny. Where can there be a corrupt official who eats two sweet potatoes every meal?

However, my mother quit her job as a village official for forty years without saying anything.

Elder sister was born five months ago, with high fever and meningitis. At that time, the traffic was inconvenient, so my mother asked my fast-running uncle to run to Xiangyang Central Hospital 40 miles away with his big sister. Went to the hospital and didn't cure the elder sister. Elder sister doesn't have a fever and is mentally retarded.

According to my mother, the medicine injected now is too heavy, and the elder sister was poisoned by medicine.

Big sister is silly, but mother never leaves. Mother believes that she can change this fact. She believes in western medicine, Chinese medicine and imperial doctor, and never gives up every slim opportunity. People often come home and tell them that somewhere, a person has become an immortal and recovered. Mom asked dad to lead the big sister to ask for spells and water. The recovered spell was burned to ashes and drunk in the big sister's stomach. Hope again and again, disappointment again and again. Mother never gave up.

My little sister's polio was cured until 12 years old, and her legs were opened, which gradually improved.

My mother gave birth to five wretched children, none of whom was worried.

Fan, the author of the article, is a migrant worker. She described the experience of herself and her family in the past ten years.

Some netizens commented: "There is no fierce rhetoric, not even a prominent emotional color. The author is a witness of his own life and a recorder of the lives of people around him. Big society, little people, talk on paper. "

Fan is a native of Hubei Province and a native of Xiangzhou District, Xiangyang City. She is 44 years old and graduated from junior high school. She is currently engaged in domestic work in Beijing. In the 1980s, Fan Suyu read all the novels and literary magazines she could find in her village, and then she "wanted to see the bigger world".

20-year-old Fan journey to the south came to Beijing thousands of miles away from home. Worked as a waitress in a restaurant, but she described herself as "stupid" and would fall and break dishes. After five or six years of marriage, she suffered from men's alcoholism and domestic violence, and finally left her husband and took her two daughters to work to make a living.

Fan and his daughter

Fan now lives in Pi Village outside the East Fifth Ring Road, where there are many small processing factories and bungalows rented by migrant workers. When he first arrived in Pi Village, Fan moved to several places one after another, and finally rented a single room of 8 square meters in a quadrangle at the price of 300 yuan every month.

This south-facing room has big glass, and sunlight can shine into the room. "Very happy and safe." She and dozens of migrant workers interested in literature formed a literary group and began to write. "If you are alive, you must do something unrelated to eating and satisfy your spiritual desires." Fan said.

Two publishing houses will publish books.

Q: Do you know that the article "I am a fan of Su Yu" is popular on the Internet?

Fan Su Yu: I learned about it on the evening of 24th. In the evening, two publishing houses called me and said they would publish books.

Q: What's your reaction?

Su Yu: I didn't expect it at all. This is beyond my imagination. I didn't expect this article to be popular. I live by coolies, not by writing articles. I'm not even good at typing. Children like us just want to make some money and pay the manuscript fee at noon (WeChat official account). And I haven't written much. I can't write without feelings.

Q: When was the article "I am Fan Suyu" written?

Fan: At that time, I wanted to write about my mother. I wrote it with emotion, because I was distressed that my mother was injured in the process of helping immigrants in the village, so I wrote a "Mother" with emotion. It was sent to the editor at noon. The teacher said I wrote very well and asked me if I could add some of my own, so I sent it. The teacher said this and praised me, so I added some of my own and made it.

I hope my children can go to key universities.

Q: I heard that you have to take a day off because there are too many people who want to interview you today?

Fan: Yes, I work as an hourly worker now. I didn't want to be interviewed at first. I have social phobia and usually live alone.

Q: How are your two daughters now?

Fan: My eldest daughter is an independent stenographer in Shanghai. The youngest daughter goes to junior high school in a private school in Hengshui, Hebei.

Q: Why did you choose a private school in Hengshui?

Fan: I saw this school in a magazine before, so I sent her to take the college entrance examination in Hebei. Otherwise, she can't take the college entrance examination without a student status. There are also many "black schools" near this village, but they have no student status and their teaching is particularly poor. In fact, they just want to find a place to enclose their children. I don't want my children to become like this. The result in the future is to go to work in the "world factory", which is very bitter.

Q: You mentioned in your article that you bought a thousand pounds of books for your children. Do you still attach great importance to children's education?

Fan Su Yu: Actually, when I saw them, I felt guilty. I feel sorry for them. As a mother, I am sorry for them. If conditions are good, I hope my children can go to key universities like other children. Education includes family education, social education and self-education. I think family education and self-education are the most important.

"But I am a weak person."

Q: In my book Fan, you said that your mother is a very tough person. Do you want to do this in front of the children?

Fan: But I am a weak person, leading my children as a weak person.

Q: You said you would hug beggars, and the eldest daughter would pass juice to the wandering grandmother with both hands after work. Why? Is your daughter also influenced by you?

Su Yu: Yes, give others some dignity. No one else can do it. I can't do it. I will try my best to do it for others. I can't change the environment, but what I can do is to be myself and try to set a good example for my children.

Q: Is writing your spiritual sustenance?

Fan: Yes, I haven't thought about complicated things, such as buying a house or providing for the elderly, so I don't have any mental burden.

I will stay in Beijing for at least ten years.

Q: Do you often join literary and art groups in Pi Village?

Fan: If you are interested, the teacher asked us to write works. I have read a lot of literature books myself and have been here for a year. If I have no time, I can't come. A teacher gave us a class, and for the sake of my classical literature accomplishment, the teacher also found me several collections of ancient poems. In addition, Fu Xiao (the head of the literature group) will help me type my handwritten manuscript, because my hand typing is very slow and I can't type well. I wrote it by hand.

Q: What book do you read the most?

Fan: The water of surging waves. It is said that it is an official novel. I never regard it as an official novel. The author has been examining his soul repeatedly, and I often think about it.

What do you think of Beijing? Will you stay here forever?

Fan: I like the city of Beijing very much. I like many books in Beijing and am familiar with the national map and the first map. I go there every two months. I will stay here for at least ten years until my little daughter finishes her college studies in Beijing.

Media comment: Who is Fan? Using literature as a weapon to fight against the absurdity of existence

"My life is an unbearable book, and fate has bound me badly."

An article entitled "I am Fan Suyu" begins with this sentence. Who is Fan? A mother-in-law in a big city, a literary lover in a village in the city, and a woman who has tasted the bitter wine and showers of fate. Recently, one of her self-reports won many people's admiration and tears with simple expression and sincere feelings.

What is literature? For Fan, this may be a kind of self-telling, so as to examine his life and dreams. As she said, being a wife with children is very busy, but "you have to do something that has nothing to do with eating when you are alive", and literature can be described as "the satisfaction of spiritual desire". In fact, there are more ordinary people who also live in literature: between the fields and yards in rural Hubei, the poet Yu Xiuhua wrote down his strong feelings; Between the factories and the assembly lines in Guangdong towns, my poems record the "rivers in the bones" of the workers ... they feel their personal state through literature, reflect on the meaning of life and think about social problems, and complete their own healing and even redemption.

Nowadays, literature seems a bit out of reach. National entertainment erases personal interests, and rapid consumption replaces the obsession with utility. People who are useless and have nothing to do have no place to live. As life becomes more and more homogeneous, society will inevitably become flat. Some people say that there are fewer "strangers" around us than in the past. The peasant women who set up stalls in the food market, when they opened their mouths, they sang in eight tones; Teachers in rural primary schools have studied the history of Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties ... It is rare to see such legends hidden in cities. Looking up at the jungle full of concrete and steel bars, I spent my youth in a crowded subway, separated into a small desk and a ups and downs stock index line, and picked up my mobile phone to watch the same story and lie on the sofa dreaming the same dream.

However, the creators of these "folk languages" are different people around us. It may not matter whether the writing is good or not. What's important is that a mother-in-law showed us in her own words that even in the rented room where the plane roared, we could find unusual people and encounter unusual things. What she provides is not so much literature as sincerity, more like a vivid literary form printed in books and outside the network, and a surprise that life and society still have unlimited possibilities. It can be said that these ordinary literary lovers, while using language as a weapon to confront absurdity, also endowed the era of flattening with depth.

On a larger level, these people with literary heart also make people think about the return and reconstruction of humanistic spirit when science and technology are booming. Someone always exclaims that the singularity is coming. For example, the influence of artificial intelligence on human subjectivity-in a mental game like Go, the most outstanding human mind may also be defeated. However, every grain of sand on the beach has its own story. When we sigh, sing and think, we are telling a unique story that defines ourselves and human beings as a whole. Our body, behavior, social ethics and spirit may be changed by science and technology, but everyone's unique life experience is hard to replace. This rich heterogeneity can be described as a difficult humanistic foundation.

Man's existence is still limited, but it is precisely this limitation that marks his unique existence. The so-called literature, to put it mildly, is a limited view of infinity, that is, a short listening to eternity. This kind of seeing and listening constitutes the pursuit of meaning and meaning itself. Science and technology and commerce are typical representatives of rationalism; Literature and art are ideal samples of humanistic spirit. Preserving one's love for literature and creating one's own literature may also preserve and create the possibility of humanistic spirit translation in this era.

Yes, because it looks good, the article "I am Fan Suyu" shows the significance and strength of written expression and literary writing for individuals and society. But we can't ignore the personal experience and social problems pointed out in the article just because it looks good. From migrant workers' children to farmers' compensation for land expropriation, if a good-looking text can promote the solution of problems and the arrival of justice, it can also show another dimension of humanistic spirit while realizing the social value of literature.
