Kuai Le Hao sent from Shanghai
Shu Guozhi
Born in 1952 in Taipei, Chekiang. Rove the United States from 1983 to 1990, then written, more and travel. Sui generis style, ordinary people live in poverty and neglect the beauty of life, the most he Yong Chung. Having "good afternoon", "layman's Kyoto", "street collection", "Notes on Taipei's snacks," "poor in talks to eat" and so on.
Shu, 58, also carrying a shoulder bag rule the country, high and thin, walk some shaking. For me, sitting in a small coffee shop around the corner, across the glass to see interviewed in the sun came at me with a pleasant smile, a sure harbinger of victory. This is an ideal journalist afternoon. But I came forward under the sun of comfort and state governance, good afternoon, but otherwise defined.
At the time of his main day. The resident of Taiwan who Benjamin type wandering, often 5:00 am headstrong to eat meal of rice, beans, dumplings and green beans before they lower the curtains back on the bed, indent darkness.
The "Remarkable queer," said a comfortable state rule, carrying new book "ideal afternoon" to the mainland, colorful interviews, lectures, filled his limited schedule. In the warm air blow on one's face in the spring afternoon interview, he is obviously not ideal. He lined up on the phone to a reporter said, "you'd better leave me time to play."
Most will play, most people know to eat
Friends Leung Man Tao, he knew "the most will play, and most tell a story," people have two, one is Cheng, a rule is a comfortable country. Cheng is the introverted type, Shu State government is chic naturalist, astronomy, geography, nothing is saying: He tell you to drink wine, grapes he talks about grapes, all things are all subject, I wonder if people listen to down How many books is read, the number of lines in road.
Called "Taiwan version of Whampoa" in Shu State government has also been recognized as the Taiwan people to eat one of the most know. Returned from the United States, he had not held a meal at home, partner, day three meals, mostly in the stall, stalls and restaurants. Eat this way for 20 years. Are hundreds of snacks column was printed in "Notes on Taipei snacks" and "poor in talks to eat", not only foreign tourists by the cable Ji, Taiwanese people are venerated as the food guide.
Shu Guo-Zhi Liang Tao has brought to Taipei's "cemetery." It was a strange dark place, Liang Tao drink the last good red wine, and served with rich taste of beef noodles. "It's different from actually able to eat?" Liang Tao shocked to.
Although "Shuge" the first book in the Mainland were ordered, but he did not rule illustrious Shu State. Shu State rule says, "I often invited him to take trips together ah. Can he not, he did not even have to catch a train artwork." These are two different rhythms of the people, Liang Tao a social machine, high-speed gear department.
Click "Shuge" theory, either because Liang Tao was born in the 1970s, when, Shu State government is to spend his youth long. Only those born in the 1950s after World War child, not only do not fear've been kind of day.
"Their time is better than that simple little Pishi need to alert management to Ortega. This time is not easy. Sometimes have to wait long, for example, wait until after World War II. This time around have an deserted. In the scene, the little building, empty hole, who went to the value and little attention was positive. in human relations, the no strict locking, rather than small family of three generations living under one roof, without worry about the separation of sub-products such as Uncle uncle of ritual. In geography, a slight a bit remote, for example, wild island in the waste sea, with the rites of ancient center of the system of distant apart, many institutions do not stress, and life can still learn the system as appropriate, loosely Xie Xie Yu pleasant faster, the poor had become too rich too Jieneng days . because too barren, people close the doors at night. because too barren, children with toys, not much, just can only play the open, is it not great big sea? "
Children born after World War II
Shu State governance of post-war child. At that time, Taiwan was fully recovered after Japan's defeat in the period, needs a lot of public servants, businessmen to receive the Japanese left behind after the withdrawal of the various institutions. Native of Zhejiang, the father with his wife and daughter, With mind to do a career, left Shanghai in 1946, came to the muggy heat of the island.
Left the mainland, he never came back off the idea of not moving too, but after 1949, across the strait has become remote. "At that time young people in Taiwan still can return to the mainland universities, such as Lin Hai-yin on the two universities also received the admission notice." Shu Guozhi was born at this time. People, speaking in local dialect mixed together - would say it's often a little history of Nanjing, but also a little bit fashionable, so he learned a few words in Nanjing, in 40 years, said to me - and still mixed culture customs and origin.
Shu State during the administration of youth is the standard rock youth, with Chin Shih-chieh, Yang and others were all friends. His ideal is a movie, bent on reversing the film Qiong Yao was in power in Taiwan face. Unfortunately, at that time the art of the minority can not thrive, not to mention "hard" rule the country has never been comfortable words, "persistent" no.
He also wrote a little novel, there is a Ba Jiuqian word "villagers remember the victims," gave its literary attention in Taiwan, took Times Literature Prize. Yang Mu rated "superb writing skills," Zhan Hongzhi is praised "the best overall work to critics speechless," insisted the year this work as fiction. Shu rule was considered the country along the writing to go down this road, but he did not, he seems nothing is to be done. When he left Taiwan to the United States, many people think that he was "her career."
7-year wave tour 44 states
58 years, he has only been to 3 months of classes, because the morning, get out of bed, because amount of time spent in the office can not meet the career. In 1983, the parents have passed away, Shu State government decided to move to the United States, where his 10-year-old big sister long.
7-year wave tour, he drove away a used Chevrolet in 44 states. Starting from Los Angeles, first northeast, after Iowa, Wyoming to Chicago, and then further in New York, and then over to the Nankai Pennsylvania, Virginia, South Carolina, North Carolina, to the most south Florida, the last from east to west across the United States China back to the starting point. When no money to find a place to live two or three months, playing odd jobs were done the most to help people in the restaurant Duanpan Zi, ends finished to the road. He became a real tramp, fieldwork and in civil society lopsided.
"American Highway, lonely person homeland, Tang Chi on it, had to abandon the complex and with the hum of engines to focus on the endless emptiness." Asking Shu State government in endless roaming the road, what is futile in the face , he has been slightly lost in the face to tell you that there is no way to share that experience. "There are many stray. Some people consider that to sleep in bed or sleep, is sleep well or sleep well; in the cafe, pumping a little cigarette, take a look at the Taipei Women's translation of the novel are not married - it is urban life of wandering. "For him, all he has done nothing unusual, nothing more than to break the social requirements of" timing "it, at what age to marry who, how old must birth, how old must buy a house buy products social conventions, all of his invalid: 7 years he has been dating girlfriend, no children, less deposits, are not cats or dogs.
Let people keep the money
Go to Taipei, to rub Shu Guozhi is a joy to be a tour guide. Such as Nobel laureate Pamuk and the Tough Guy Fiction Master Laolunsibu Locke came to Taiwan myself to him and walk in the streets. They have a common interest with him: walking. Shu State government who know how to avoid abuse of popular travel guides attractions, many years of wave travel, know him as the way the old horse, eyes closed also know what to go for the scenery.
He lives in Taipei, Wenzhou Street. House is very old, had been filming Yang borrowed - is the movie "Mahjong," a small partner in Olivia that place youth in pitch darkness to play mahjong. Olivia's father che older than 5 years old Shu State government, but called him "Shuge"; strange is the son of Chang Chen also called him "Shuge." 13-year-old speech "Brighter Summer Day killings" of Zhang Zhen is also 40 years old, "Shuge" while failing old, Youzaiyouzai, as if the students never had endless summer.
It is often said that envy Shuge life, but few have the courage to follow his life went.
To make a living by writing, but the intensity is maintained only two columns a week, work time control within two hours in a day, keep just enough income. He did not save, published in book form does not insist, often account about bottomed out, and there happens to incoming royalties. So he Laibu Ji, "Why should other people's money hurry to get into their first bank accounts? Why not let others keep the money for you first?"
Downtown Taipei, the ancient people
Shu State government general out at noon, along Wenzhou Street north, after a peace is Qingtian Street East, little further is the snack bar all over, "very interesting" the Wing. His many regional universities, so there are a lot of fun around the bookstore, coffee shop. He often sat down casually familiar with the old bookstore, read aimlessly, the owner is familiar with tea, and he became Xiang Pei glass. Movie night, a friend talked about dinner together, or alone at home listening to music. Rock from the 20s, heard more than 50 years old blues, and now his ears, willing to accept the more eccentric, incomprehensible music, that is a higher threshold of rock, as if an upgrade.
He is the life of ancient people in modern Taipei. Live floor no lift, 4th floor, because these reptiles are not hard; insist not install air conditioning because summer should be sweating, as on the slightly acidic grape, watermelon, seeded on; seedless watermelon and sweet too huge concentration of anti- Seasonal fruits are a nightmare for him. Rejection of all superfluous things at home, such as television. Like his "Shi Quan old" what is said, his ideal life is "a roof tile walls in the premises, on the first floor, second floor, not barriers, not the elevator, not for climbing at home, looking King, stare Zongmu "" dress but cloth. summer with one shirt, then padded gown in winter. ... ... number rare, often for Chang Di, Bu Wei enough, they also stored at, not accounting for home cabinet, is to make room empty net, the heart do not send it. " On the same principle, "listen to opera or music, and more at the scene. And go away for a long, lingering ears do not need to make residual sound, long-line mind. Home recording devices are not necessary to sing, as less prepared books synonymous, so that that coincide utterly destitute matter to the reasoning. " His "four walls" of the idea is: give up your original non-owners can not find something, exposing more of the wall.
He does not have the computer, insist on hand-written, e-mail was walking to a friend company, a friend's secretary do it. He wrote a paper on the woman's English name, gave me, "This is the registered name, is the secretary-mail Miss Hou also used her mailbox, asked her to collect e-mail."
Shuge developed many friends, and successful. "But I am better than the ratio, in addition to bank account on tens of millions less than they are outside, I am actually happier than they."
Sunlight gradually left the window of three round scarlet sofa. Among us, really enjoy a good afternoon, is a yellow cat on the sofa. Tied it around his neck a glittering pink bow, it was won the favor of the physical evidence cafe owner. Witnesses: it can occupy a seat the guests, with its claim that the existence of equality and participation in conversation. Slowly in the Shu state government, semi-narrative with memories, the cat crouching in the sofa, soft parts of the most warm, full sleep special sleep, sometimes given a TWO happy snoring.
