After the spring of 1978, Xiang Nan, Su Meng, Chunming, and Cai Xiaoli each reported to the university.
As a well-known talent in the country, Xiang Nan naturally attracted special attention when he enrolled. On the day of registration, many classmates came to visit him. Come to him with his poems, books, and songs to sign autographs, take photos,
Subsequently, Xiang Nan's college life can be described as magnificent and colorful.
After the semester started, Xiang Nan not only served as class president, but also served as the president of the literary club and the vice president of the drama club. He also took the lead in preparing for the formation of the Peking University Student Union and was successfully elected as the vice president of the student union (as for who the president is, you can decide for yourself. Baidu).
Prior to this, the Peking University Student Union had been disbanded for many years.
While at school, Xiang Nan studied knowledge, worked hard on creation, and actively participated in school activities to shine.
In the spring of 1978, he released his new work "Wrangler", which once again became a sensation.
In the book, Xu Lingjun and Li Xiuzhi's sincere feelings and high-spirited attitude towards life are most praised and bring inspiring power to readers. Therefore, it was well received after its launch.
The play "There's a Blizzard Tonight" written by him was officially performed by the Peking University Drama Club in May.
This work was originally created by Liang Xiaosheng in 1983. It aroused strong response after its release and won the third National Outstanding Novel Award. It was considered by critics to have opened up a new realm in the literary creation of educated youth.
The famous writer Wang Meng even praised it for describing the fate, joys and sorrows, passion and blood and tears of educated youth, and established a monument for these educated youth.
Therefore, after the performance, it immediately aroused strong repercussions in the school. The script was later reprinted by Yanjing Literature and Art, triggering heated discussions across the country.
Subsequently, well-known groups such as the National Theater, People's Art Theater, Hujiang Youth Repertory Theater, and Experimental Theater rehearsed this drama one after another, making this drama more and more famous.
…
In terms of career, Xiang Nan has achieved good results.
In terms of relationships, he and Cui Weihong also broke up amicably.
Firstly, his status is different now and he is not suitable to be entangled with her; secondly, Cui Weihong's child has grown up and has become sensible, and Cui Weihong has begun to have concerns.
So Xiang Nan took the opportunity to break up with her.
However, before breaking up, he still helped Cui Weihong solve work problems through relationships, which could be regarded as an end to the relationship.
While studying in college, because of his reputation and his tall and handsome appearance, many girls took the initiative to pursue him.
I receive dozens or hundreds of letters every day, and even girls from other schools and young women from society come to the school to visit me.
Xiang Nan does not refuse all girls who come to court him.
Not to mention that the current social atmosphere is still very conservative, even if you try to step on a few boats a few decades later, you will face a voice of criticism once something happens. Public figures like Xiang Nan are more likely to die directly from society.
Therefore, he will only choose to associate with women who are open-minded, independent, and not bound by worldly visions. Unfortunately, this kind of women are very concentrated in the field of literary and youth. Therefore, Xiang Nan still has a lot of prey.
…
"Lu Ge, sit down~" Xiang Nan greeted with a smile.
"Is this the place where you write?" Lu Ge asked, looking around the room.
This is the house Xiang Nan borrowed off campus. It has three bedrooms and two living rooms, and is stylishly decorated. It was originally built for Soviet experts twenty years ago. After the foreign experts evacuated, the houses were given to cadres to live in.
Later, the homeowner's parents died due to persecution. They were rehabilitated last year and the house was returned to him. Now, he just doesn't want to live here, lest he remember those sad past events.
In addition, he was a fan of Xiang Nan's books. He heard that he wanted to rent a house to create, so without saying a word, he lent his house to Xiang Nan for free, and he moved into the factory dormitory.
Naturally, Xiang Nan refused to borrow his house for free, so he rented it for thirty yuan per month. This price is quite good. You know, staying in a hotel now only costs 80 cents a night.
"Yes, I want it to be clean here and not as noisy as the school." Xiang Nan nodded.
"Were all your works completed here?" Lu Ge asked curiously.
"Well, "The Wrangler" and "There's a Blizzard Tonight" were all completed on this desk." Xiang Nan patted the table and said.
"Really?!" When Lu Ge heard this, he ran to the table, leaned down, took a deep breath, and then said with an intoxicated look, "Well, there is also a faint fragrance of ink. It's really good~"
Xiang Nan smiled and nodded, "That's my studio over there, do you want to take a look?"
"You can also draw? Of course I want to see it." Lu Ge said excitedly.
Xiang Nan immediately let her into the studio and saw that there were already many paintings placed inside, including watercolors, pastel paintings, oil paintings, sketches, and sketches.
In addition, there are some relatively exposed plaster statues.
Xiang Nan quickly covered the plaster statue with a piece of cloth, and then apologized, "I'm sorry, I hope you don't misunderstand. This is the need for creation."
"It doesn't matter, I'm not that kind of bumpkin, I understand." Lu Ge waved his hands and smiled, "Put the cloth down, I don't care.
Rousseau said that people are born free, and people are free animals. It is those moral norms and secular prejudices that bind people. I’m not afraid~”
"Insightful." Xiang Nan smiled and extended his thumb. "I have seen so many girls. It is really rare to see someone who lives as transparently as you."
Lu Ge was also very happy to hear his praise.
"Lu Ge, let me draw a picture for you." Xiang Nan took the opportunity to say.
"Really?! Okay." When Lu Ge heard this, he said excitedly, "How should I draw it?"
"From an artistic point of view, I think it's better to highlight a person's essence through X-painting." Xiang Nan nodded, "Of course, I can understand if you have concerns."
"..." Lu Ge couldn't help but hesitate for a while, but then his competitiveness overcame his shame, and he finally nodded.
Later, Xiang Nan started to help her draw.
…
Lu Ge is a folk dancer of the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, and was born in a large courtyard.
In the 1970s, when ordinary people across the country could only read books such as "Red Rock", "Sunny Sky", and "The Cotai Strip", they were already secretly browsing magazines brought from abroad.
Therefore, the concept is much more open than the average person.
And she is also very good-looking. It is no exaggeration to say that she is 80% similar to the Halloween Princess in "Journey to the West". Coupled with the dancers, they have slim figures and outstanding temperament. When you walk onto the street, you are the center of attention.
She was also one of Xiang Nan's book fans and came to school to get Xiang Nan's autograph. Xiang Nan fell in love with her at first sight, and then left her contact information and exchanged several letters.
Through her hot and bold letters, Xiang Nan guessed her general personality, so he contacted her further and asked her to dance several times.
After further deepening the relationship and seeing that she was not too resistant to physical contact, he invited her to his home again. Then I offered to paint for her, and the rest fell into place naturally.
