Cheng Baoyi s life resume, Cheng Baoyi s profile

Francois Cheng is a famous French Chinese writer, a lifelong academician of the Académie Française, a poet and a calligrapher. Cheng Baoyi is known as one of the "Three Heroes of Chinese in France", and is known as ** Qun and Zao Wou-ki.

Cheng Baoyi, a native of Nanchang, Jiangxi, was born in Jinan, Shandong Province, and graduated from Chongqing Liren Middle School. In 1947, he entered the Jinling University in Nanjing, and in 1948 he settled in France with his father, and obtained a master's degree from the École des Hautes Etudes des Études des Hautes Etudes (Épès Paris) in 1969 and a doctorate from the Paris VII in 1975. Throughout his life, he mainly taught in the Chinese Department of the Inalco Institute of Oriental Languages in Paris, and was also invited to give guest lectures at other universities (such as Paris III, Peking University, etc.).

On December 1, 2006, Tongji University conferred the honorary professor Cheng Baoyi.

Tian Yiyan is a "testamentary" work by Cheng Baoyi, and it is a book related to his "flesh and blood".

Although he was already famous in France before the publication of this **, "Tian Yiyan" established his position in the French literary circle, allowing people to discover his literary talent while affirming his academic achievements. In my opinion, the reason why this ** book is important is because it is not an ordinary academic research achievement, but a record and summary of the author's life experience. Although the author has repeatedly emphasized that it is not a documentary and autobiographical text, and pretends to use the "words" of Tianyi, the protagonist in **, to relay the story, it is not difficult to see that Tianyi has a lot of Cheng Baoyi's shadow, and Tianyi's pain of cultural marginals in Paris is a portrayal of the author himself.

Therefore, more than 10 years ago, when Cheng Baoyi was seriously ill and bedridden, thinking that his life was coming to an end, he desperately rushed to write this book and wanted to publish it as soon as possible. Cheng Baoyi recalled that at that time, he was about to go under the knife, but he couldn't move the pen at all, and his family recorded it at the bedside, and later found someone to type. After the knife, he felt dissatisfied and began to rewrite again.

He said that this is a "testamentary" work, a book that is "related to his flesh and blood". The author tries to reflect the evolution of human civilization through the fate of the characters, and through the protagonist's encounter, he has almost touched on all artistic fields in the East and the West, which has deep cultural connotation and artistic value. **In addition to writing about Tianyi's experience of pursuing art in Paris to earn a living, there is also a lot of space to write about what happened to him after returning to China in 1958.

Cheng Baoyi left his homeland in 1949, and if he had a personal feeling for the struggle of the Chinese in France, he had no experience of the political movements in China. "A sense of mission," Cheng said. In fact, although he had been away from his homeland for many years, he had always been concerned about everything in his homeland, and when he read about it in the press, and when his friends from China told him about all kinds of tragedies, he had a strong desire:

To write a work to witness that special era. This kind of testimony is not a bystander or an objective report, but an unforgettable experience that is integrated into one's own life. He said he clearly felt that he had an unshirkable responsibility, a mission that seemed to be in the religious sense.

He could not be indifferent to the suffering of the world, and he had a need to speak. He believes that a writer should not avoid reality, "the so-called detachment from reality, the wisdom of avoiding reality is worthless".

Because of this, this work is different from ordinary love**, it not only has a deep cultural heritage, but also has a historical depth. **Through the protagonist's encounter, it reflects the interpretation and interpretation of life by a generation of Chinese intellectuals under the impact of two societies and two cultures. The author says:

At that time, China seemed to be a catastrophic people trapped in a quagmire, but if you look closely and listen attentively, you will find that every Chinese has a tenacious spirit and a desire for life, and even in a desperate situation where their lives are threatened, they do not stop pursuing truth, beauty and dignity.
