Three Chongqing

 Tian Tian is too right
the right head is not too high, pale complexion and a pair of hands was very small, looks much younger than actual age. Tall and spacious studio in his parked outside a blue Toyota Land Cruiser, house, car and his body was in stark contrast.
he was living in Chongqing, a lifetime artist, born in neighborhoods inhabited by dock workers, the young, it is often witnessed violence in their neighborhood. In a crowded steep densely populated areas, small friction can also cause violent conflict. all of a sudden, people fist Cross, picked up any handy things around, drop to the body to the other. They do not do life and death struggle of the feud. On the contrary, fighting The day before the two sides to work together yet, even with a meal the next day. This happened easily and quickly calm the violence, hostility and hardship slum living together, too deep to stay in the field can remember right.
and all born in China around 1959 people, memory is the core of food. On the positive side, the poor neighborhoods has its warm side, people holding jobs from the owner string to the West home, work in a meal similar in taste to the culinary neighbors. people eating the same food, no property, so do not worry about this and lost their property mm in stark contrast to today.
after the arrival of winter, nothing of the boys put on cotton coat, queuing overnight. instead of waiting for Apple released a new product, nor is it to buy concert tickets. The purpose is to line up to buy their cabbage.
1984, he was admitted to the Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts, it is a happy and full of expectations begun, but the food is still the most profound impression on him one of the things.
he took me to the Academy of Fine Arts across the old flower shop to eat beans. house and furniture is very old and put in front of rows of stalls Dou Hua Liu dish, red is the hot sauce, black is black beans, green is the green onion. furnishings and food and 25 years ago and not much different, the only difference is the price .20 years ago, the price of a bowl of bean curd is a hair money, two hair seventh bowl of noodles. Today, the price of bean curd is then 50 times.
decades have passed, unlike the fields of poverty and violence so as striking the right to childhood, but that comes with poverty and anxiety and feelings of injustice is difficult to heal. Sometimes he missed young gone time, miss the kind of plain, simple, young, wild miss, miss poor but a good social atmosphere of human relationships.
he very contradictory. because exposure to worldly feel normal, even betrayed the fact that memories easy to beautify. their youth, the blowing is not peace, but the turmoil, not warmth, but hatred and death.
few years ago, Luo Zhongli, president of the Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts took us to visit the school next to the work of artists room. There was originally a military factory warehouse, bought by Sichuan after the United States, open the door, found it full of parked tanks, so called two large fish ponds. decades ago, Luo Xiaozhang Academy High School to sit, coincides with the rainy overcast, he holding a pair of shoes, through a muddy rice fields, washed the feet in the pond he came ashore. Later, Luo Xiaozhang admitted Academy High School, when hungry fish Xiatang stole, ran out secretly at night in summer, swam into the water. years. That year there is a chance to shot the Luo bought land and warehouses, converted into studios, rent a cheap price with the artist. I was in one of the fields in the event of too much power. he can be moderate tone of the work is very gloomy. tombstones in the tall group, a ghostly young girl appeared in the meantime. her uniform and the skin has been broken, but the expression was unaware not seem to know their own dead.
I naturally asked him the origin of these works. He said that as a base for conventional weapons, Chongqing production of light weapons equipped, bullets are available. For this reason, between 1967 and 1968, the armed fights in a nationwide, thousands dead in Chongqing , tragic ranks first among the country level. Shapingba has preserved a militant fight the dead cemetery, which buried more than 300 corpses of the Red Guards and young workers. Some of carving a Chairman spooky wandering group of young girls. They wore military caps, wearing green uniforms, Messenger a backpack trimmed with red armbands above. These graceful figure, fair-skinned girl just youth, for their own mind Revolution lost their lives, from the blood and fire that followed the city's history, but in fact not the case. make people ashamed of this history, so that living people can not face all this. People can not wait to forget them. If it is not too right field and others call the story of the tombs will always be buried there.
Zeng
revolution devour their children. than the field 10 years older too have the right to witness the revolution clock eating scene.
because of poor family background, Red Guard organizations had been swept out of minutes, and text from WU Wei attack missed. in shame, anger, depressing summer of 1967, he was homebound in Hualongqiao home, doing nothing, suddenly found rebels gunfire sounded through the woods the sound of brush issue, unaware it was a historic moment.
not feel fear. They were brought up to, in order to revolutionary ideals, to dare to sacrifice. sacrifice is not terrible, but is the supreme honor. they passed the film to understand war, that which the As hove off the manhole cover of the wellhead, the moment will be swallowed up of life. in the neck, fell to the positions.
Chongqing resorting to violence has now entered the era of hot weapons tragic. as a production base of conventional weapons, a rifle where you can find it in the bullet, a shell where you can find it in the barrel. a year or so, Chongqing casualties Zhen Ji, thousands of people killed, injured countless. resorting to violence when the most intense, with armed vessels cruising the Yangtze River, the two sides carried out a militant fight real water war. This is not seen in any other region of the bloody scene.
because the leg had had surgery a few years ago, early retirement clock to do the surgery, intends to spend the rest of his life photography play until he Shaping Park found a piece of the cemetery and started looking for the story behind the tombstone. He got some help amateur researchers, including how Shu and Chen Xiaowen. Chen is the editor of Chongqing Publishing House, was the first copy and organize on the tombstone words, what is the one bloody story, it does, and July 25, 1967, like the scene, impressive enough to unforgettable.
makes some amazing coincidence, erect on the history of Heart of a feeling of awe. Rao Guomo The name appears again. Zeng told me that this cemetery was originally the family cemetery Guomo Rao, Zhou Enlai and Deng Yingchao father's mother died in the 1940s, was buried here .1949 years later, here turned into a nursery , until eclipsed by other revolutions , some of which mimic the People's Heroes in Tiananmen Square monument on cement monument erected, although the shape is much smaller, the hair above the flamboyant characters puts this imitation to an extreme. difficult to guess, revolutionary teenager know the presence of mold Rao country.
had a confused clock: Chairman Mao's most trusted, born teenager who died of the best revolutionary protest, he was born poor so Happy to send down a blessing in disguise, went to college, dignity mm He thought how old is it?
I
birthday I gave him a birthday with my mother's grave. He has Zhongdu Sheng in 1950, The difference is that he was born five red. resorting to violence began, his father out as a rebel leader fighting near his home has become the forefront of fighting both sides, residents have had to flee with clothes and bedding, cooking utensils. the war into the see-saw confrontation, I birthday with his mother and brother, to the big ferry to defect to relatives, all the way to see the war as if the movie scene, the traffic lane fortifications to the proliferation of the armored truck was welded on the street dug trenches , along with road blocks. evening, they went to the foot of a mountain wool trench, see relatives across the mountain of the house, suddenly someone fired a shot at them.
seats birthday towards the gun fight, but did not hit him. he and his brother to lie down, a second shot and took his mother down to the ground. He climbed to the mother, seeing his mother shot in the left rib cage, from the right chest through out. He wanted to shirts block the wound gushing blood, found only in vain, then took off his white vest, waving the direction of the shot. He motioned to the gunmen, he was just crossing the common people, but that poor marksmanship gunman ignored him, still calmly shot then fired a shot towards him. He put down his mother, next to the hot pepper to climb, where to find his younger brother. not far from where a fellow desperately waving in front of his house and let them run in the past. They trench along the hot pepper running time, while the sound of machine gun fire rang in the ears back.
night, I found on the birthday of the father in the position. father with a man carrying a stretcher back to the mother. She has breathe a long time. open the gun is not the enemy, but his father's comrades. long after, he learned that his father's comrades opened fire, and the reasons mm or no reason, this fellow had just assigned to the weapons, a thrill, so check their mother three as live targets, to practice very own marksmanship. when no one is held accountable. the mother's body was sent to Chongqing University, where is the transformed into the morgue, his mother died in combat or by unexpected calamities like the is captured by the enemy. As the hot weather, the body rapidly swelling expansion is not uniform sets in, can only be placed in the swollen corpse.
the same battle in the head by the deceased head, feet and legs to bury in the same grave, their names are carving a piece of cement in the same board for many years after weathering so writing fades, cement shed, pry away the farmers near the tomb stone on the article, some names will disappear. no people know who they are dead, when and where died, why was buried there.
birthday and I together is what Shu. He is the Chongqing by 1967, and 1968 set the tone for resorting to violence, has been affected to this day, and in the future.
order to continue to advance down the great revolution, in order to make the country more pure, to the early realization of the ideal society, in order to support and protect the leaders and their routes, Chongqing, young people and the country's young people, with violence (the language and action) to seize power, in order to destroy the opponent's body at the concept. they just go the farthest, done the most extreme. Finally The result was beyond their own expectations. dead sacrificed everything, but nothing living. People that sowed the dragon seeds from the last harvest fleas, only the fleas, and the ensuing up to 10 years of political terror, and prison and death.
birthday I said, this is a strange war. warring parties shouted the same slogan, with the same goal, to defend the same person, but to find ways to set each other in death. the fate of those faction leaders, according to Ho Shu know, most of them are bad. Some people still memorable period of time, thought it was the day they are most proud, looking forward to the possibility of any recurrence. Other people who know they have been use of time, big mistake has been cast, all too late. they have been given an advance of later life.
stadium in Chongqing University, saw too many dead bodies. I do not feel fear birthday. the mother's death paralysis his young nerves. Many years later, he became a businessman, and brothers and sisters, his mother re-repair the tomb of the monument. that the origin of the attacks on a free from his memory will never disappear. He tried to persuade the Government to will be up this cemetery as cultural relics. This is what Shu, Zeng and Chen Xiaowen common wish.
2009 years, this cemetery was declared a cultural relics protection units of Chongqing. Despite the change of life who are not may turn back, but he was still a comfort. I have birthday on Chen Xiaowen said, Until now, problems, depression, I still often a person to sit in the cemetery, a cigarette. part, should not be forgotten. But whether it is work or mood, in Chongqing, he and his friends are lonely.
