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

I am from Xiangyang, Hubei province. At the age of 12, I started to be a private teacher in rural primary schools in my hometown. If I don't leave my hometown and keep doing it, I will become a regular teacher.

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

life has not been smooth since I came to Beijing. Mainly because I am lazy, clumsy and stupid. I can't finish what others have done in half an hour in three hours. Hands are too stupid, more stupid than the average person. When I work as a waiter in a restaurant, I will fall down and break the plate when I serve with a plate. Earning some money just keeps you hungry.

I wasted two years in Beijing, and I feel that I am a person who can't see the ideal flame. He married a northeast person and hastily married himself.

I have been married for just five or six years and have two daughters. The father's business is getting worse and worse, and he drinks and beats people every day. I really couldn't stand domestic violence, so I 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.

When I was a child, my little sister and I were lying on the bed feet to feet reading novels. When 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, and I am not convinced. The person I admire most is our little brother.

I didn't think so. Yes, the celebrities in the books are invisible and intangible. But the people we can see and touch in our lives, I am most convinced by my mother. My little brother is nothing more than a child prodigy.

My mother, Zhang Xianzhi, was born on July 2th, 1936. At the age of 14, she was democratically elected as the director of women because she was eloquent and good at helping people solve contradictions. Since 195, he has been in power for 4 years, which is longer than that of Saddam Hussein and Gaddafi. However, this is not the reason why I am convinced of my mother.

When my mother was only a few years old, the pseudo-grandfather betrothed her to my neighbor, my father, whose house was connected with it, so that my mother could help my uncle in the future. My father was a handsome and elegant man when he was young, but the relationship between my parents was not good at all. They quarreled every day.

for 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. The five wretched in the house are all supported by their mothers.

My mother is a rural woman who was born in the evil old society and didn't go to school for a day. But all five of our brothers and sisters were named by our mother. Mother named her big brother Fan Yun and her little brother Fan Fei. I hope my two sons can become adults and fly in the clouds. Mother named our three sisters much more casually. The elder sister's name is Fan Guiren, which means that when osmanthus blossoms, it is in the shape of an adult. My little sister was born when plum blossoms were in bloom, and she should be named Mei Ren, but Mei Ren is homophonic "moldy" and unlucky. Mother named her Fan Meihua. I am the youngest child, born when chrysanthemums bloom, and my mother named me Fan Juren. When I was twelve years old, I read the most popular romance novel, misty rain, which was written by Aunt Qiong Yao. He took the liberty of changing his name and calling himself Fan Yusu.

Big brother has been learning independently since he was a child, but he has no talent for going to school. Every night, I can't bear to sleep and study. I took the exam for a year, but I didn't go to college. I repeated for a year, but I still didn't get in. Big brother was angry and said that he would not pass the college entrance examination and jump out of the agricultural 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 so poor that they are tinkling. But because big brother wants to be a writer, being a writer requires investment. Big brother changed the rice and wheat at home into money, and the money was changed into literary publications and classics. Without food, our whole family ate sweet potatoes. Fortunately, none of my mother's five children were born by a hungry ghost, and none of them protested against the poor food.

Big Brother has been reading and writing for several years, but he didn't become a writer. I have added a strong literati atmosphere to my body. I am sloppy and open my mouth. People like this are called "people who drink literature" in the village, and like Kong Yiji written by Lu Xun, they are despised.

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

Mother has a good eloquence, and opening her mouth is good for her posture. She has been a matchmaker for a long time and was called "Red Leaf" in Xiangyang. Mother doesn't charge a penny when she is a red leaf. She is purely doing good deeds and calling herself a volunteer with the current words. In the rural areas in the early 198s, there were several wretched children in every family. The male was married and the female was married. People like mothers are the most popular talents.

it doesn't matter that big brother didn't become a writer or jump out of the farm. But big brother needs to get married, which is a big deal. People of this type, like Big Brother, are called composition lunatics in the village, not daughters-in-law. But we have a great mother, who can always say black and white, and can say the shortcomings of big brother as advantages. With my mother's awe-inspiring, our poor family found a wife as simple as a locust flower in spring for our big brother.

married big brother is still pedantic. He told his mother that although the village official is small, he is also a part of corrupt officials. He told his mother not to be a village official and made a fool of herself. At that time, although I was young, I felt that my big brother was funny. Where could there be corrupt officials who ate two sweet potatoes every meal?

However, my mother said nothing and quit her job as a village official for forty years.

My eldest sister was born five months ago and had a 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 4 miles away with his big sister in his arms. I went to the hospital, but I didn't cure my big sister. Big sister doesn't have a fever and is mentally retarded.

according to my mother, the injection medicine was too heavy, and my elder sister was poisoned by the medicine.

Big sister is silly, but mother never gives up. 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 to their homes to tell them that somewhere, a man has become an immortal and recovered. Mother asked her father to lead her big sister to ask for the charm and water. The recovered charm was burned to ashes, and it was drunk in the belly of the big sister. Hope again and again, disappointment again and again. Mother never gave up.

My little sister's polio was cured until she was 12 years old, and her leg was opened, and she gradually got better.

My mother gave birth to five babies, and none of them was worried.

Fan Yusu, the author of the article, is a migrant worker. In her article, she described her and her family's experiences for more than ten years.

Some netizens commented: "There is no fierce words, even no outstanding emotional color. The author is a witness of his own life and a recorder of the lives of people around him. The big society, the little people, are on paper. "

Fan Yusu, a native of Hubei, comes from Dahuo Village, Xiangzhou District, Xiangyang City. She is 44 years old and graduated from junior high school. She is currently working as a domestic worker in Beijing. Fan Yusu had read all the novels and literary magazines she could find in the village in the 198s, and then she "wanted to see the bigger world".

2-year-old Fan Yusu went all the way north to Beijing, thousands of miles away from his hometown. 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 two daughters to work for a living.

Fan Yusu and his daughter

Fan Yusu now live 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 Yusu moved several places one after another, and finally rented an 8-square-meter single room in a courtyard house at the monthly price of 3 yuan.

This south-facing room has a big glass, and sunlight can enter the room. "It's very happy and safe." She and dozens of migrant workers who are interested in literature formed a literary group and began to write. "If you are alive, you must do something that has nothing to do with eating and satisfy your spiritual desires." Fan Yusu said.

two publishing houses have come to publish books

Q: Do you know that the article "I am Fan Yusu" has become popular on the Internet?

Fan Yusu: I learned about it on the evening of 24th. Two publishing houses called me to publish books in the evening.

q: what was your reaction at that time?

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

q: when was the article "I am fan yusu" written?

Fan Yusu: 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, and I wrote an article "Mother" with emotion. I sent it to the editor at noon. The teacher said that I wrote very well and asked me if I could add some of my own, so I could send it. The teacher said so and praised me, so I added something of my own and sent it.

I hope your child can go to a key university

Q: I heard that you had to take a day off because there were too many people who wanted to interview you today?

Fan Yusu: Yes, I'm working as an hourly worker now. I didn't want to be interviewed at first. I have social phobia and I'm usually a loner.

q: how are your two daughters now?

Fan Yusu: My eldest daughter is now working as a stenographer in Shanghai, and she is very independent. The youngest daughter goes to junior high school in a private school in Hengshui, Hebei.

q: why did you choose Hengshui's private school?

Fan Yusu: I saw this school in a magazine before, so I sent her so that she could 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 circle their children. I don't want my children to be 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 their education?

Fan Yusu: Actually, I feel guilty when I see them. I'm sorry for them. As a mother, I'm sorry for them. If the conditions are good, I hope my children can go to a key university, just like children from other families. 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 Name is Fan Yusu, you said that your mother is a very tough person. Do you want to be like this in front of your children?

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

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

Fan Yusu: Yes, give others some dignity. Others can't do it for me. 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 be a good example to my children.

Q: Is writing your spiritual sustenance?

Fan Yusu: 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 the literature group in Pi Village?

Fan Yusu: If you are interested, the teacher asked us to write works. I have read a lot of literature books myself, and I had time to come for a year. If I didn't have time, I wouldn't be able to 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. Moreover, Xiao Fu (the leader of the literature group) will type my handwritten manuscript for me, because my hand is slow in typing and I can't type well. I write it by hand.

q: which book do you read the most?

fan yusu: the water of surging waves. They all say it's 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.

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

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

media comment: who is fan yusu? Using literature as a weapon to fight against the absurdity of existence

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

An article entitled "I am Fan Yusu" begins with such a sentence. Who is Fan Yusu? A child-rearing sister-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 has won many people's admiration and tears with simple expression and sincere feelings.

what is literature? For Fan Yusu, this may be a kind of self-telling, so as to examine his life and dreams. As she said, being a child-rearing wife 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 take literature as their shelter: between the ridge and the yard in rural Hubei, the poet Yu Xiuhua wrote down his strong feelings; Between the factory buildings and the assembly lines in Guangdong towns, My Psalms records the workers' "rivers in the bones" ... They feel their personal state, reflect on the meaning of life and think about social problems through literature, and complete their own healing and even redemption.

nowadays, literature seems a little out of reach. All-people entertainment has erased personal interests, and rapid consumption has replaced obsession with utilitarianism. People who are useless and have nothing to do have no place to live. As life becomes more homogeneous, society will inevitably become flat. Some people say that compared with the past, there are fewer "strange people" around us. The peasant women who set up stalls in the food market, opening their mouths is a chorus of eight voices; Teachers in rural primary schools have studied the history of Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties ... It is rare to see such a legend hidden in the city. Looking up at the jungle full of cement and steel, youth is spent in the crowded subway, separated into small desks and ups and downs of stock index lines, picking up the mobile phone to watch the same story and lying on the sofa to have the same dream.

However, the creators of these "folk languages" are, after all, heterogeneous people around us. It may not matter whether it is well written or not. What is important is that a child-rearing sister-in-law shows us in her own words that even in the rented house where the plane roared, we can find unusual people and encounter unusual things. What she provides is not so much literature as sincerity, but rather a vivid form of literature printed in books and outside the network, and a surprise that there are still infinite possibilities in life and society. It can be said that these ordinary literary lovers, while fighting against the absurdity of existence with language as a weapon,
