Creative career

edit
Zheng Wenguang was born in Vietnam coast defence And returned to China in the early days of liberation. Zheng Wenguang received systematic astronomy education. Like many science fiction writers at that time, academic research was his main business. Zheng Wenguang loved literature since he was a child. At the age of 11, he published his works in the Overseas Chinese Light Newspaper in Vietnam. Such experience makes Zheng Wenguang more than ordinary natural scientist , even more than average Popular science writer Your skills.
It is inevitable and accidental for Zheng Wenguang to embark on the road of science fiction creation. In 1954, as a full-time science popularization worker, he found that young people were interested in scientific knowledge He was not interested, so he suddenly had a fancy to combine mysterious astronomy with poetic literature. At that time, new foreign science fiction had not yet been translated into China, and even what science fiction was was unclear to everyone. Thus, Zheng Wenguang's first science fiction《 From Earth to Mars 》This is also the first science fiction in mainland China. In 1954, Zheng Wenguang《 China Youth Daily 》The first science fiction novel of new China was published on《 From Earth to Mars 》, become a Chinese science fiction History of fiction The sign of the first climax. From Earth to Mars 》It is a short science fiction. The story is about three Chinese teenagers who are eager for space exploration and steal a spaceship to Mars. Although the length is not long and the plot is not complicated, it is the first science fiction novel with complete characters and plots in New China. Zheng Wenguang did not expect that this work《 China Youth Daily 》After the publication, the Mars observation boom in Beijing was triggered Jianguomen Of Ancient Observatory Long dragons lined up to watch Mars. Zheng Wenguang was deeply moved and encouraged. Since then, the creation of science fiction has become a part of his life, making him unable to stop.

development

In a period of time since then, Zheng Wenguang has published several short stories, the most mature of which is "Mars Builders" published in 1957. This article was published in Moscow World Youth Festival a grand prix. It is the first Chinese article to win international award Science fiction. Mars Builders adopts the tragic writing method rarely seen in science fiction literature at that time. It tells us that in the communist world, human beings began to build bases on Mars. Despite all kinds of hard work, they still failed due to the infection of local bacteria.

frustration

However, Zheng Wenguang's creation was not always smooth. In the 1950s, many people thought that writing science fiction was "doing nothing" and "doing evil". Others accused Zheng Wenguang of not adhering to the literary position of critical realism, but engaging in“ idealism ”。 Zheng Wenguang's creation entered a difficult period. Until his death, Zheng Wenguang still had a lingering fear that the lack of understanding at that time was the most distressing thing in his creation.

insist

Zheng Wenguang's hardships were all those of a pioneer, but he persevered and firmly believed that his works were valuable and meaningful. He not only insisted on writing, but also began to explore the theory of science fiction. In this process, he experienced a very painful and complicated long process. He tried to "put" scientific knowledge into his works as much as possible, but finally, he became more and more clear that science fiction is also a novel, following all the laws of fiction (that is, literary creation), its name is "Wen" rather than "Ke", and of course, the scientific content cannot be excluded. Therefore, Zheng Wenguang's general view on science fiction is that "foreign things are for China's use and fantasy is for practical use"; Science fiction is“ Imported goods ”There is a problem of nationalization; Science fiction should also use scientific fantasy (rather than myth) to combine reality and reflect reality.

publish

It is worth noting that Zheng Wenguang published an article entitled "Talking about Science Fiction" on the "Reading Daily" in 1958. This article talks about almost all of science fiction fundamental theory Such as the literary nature of science fiction, the inheritance of science fiction to ancient myths, how science in science fiction differs from real science, and so on. Since then, more than 40 years later, there has been no major breakthrough in these basic theoretical issues in China's science fiction industry, but it has been repeatedly arguing with the outside public opinion who do not understand science fiction art. The stagnation of his theoretical exploration is quite deplorable.

After the Cultural Revolution

In the spring of 1976, when the Cultural Revolution had not yet ended, Ye Yonglie Published the first science fiction novel Petroleum Protein in the late ten years of turmoil, marking Chinese science fiction The second climax was set off in the mainland. This sci-fi climax is actually a continuation of the previous climax. Zheng Wenguang, known as "the father of Chinese science fiction", set a new record in this climax: a new record was published in 1979 China First A long science fiction novel《 Fly to Sagittarius 》。 This work continues《 From Earth to Mars 》"Accident and adventure" story framework. But the scene is more grand, the characters are more, and the description is also better. Of course, the space travel distance in the works is also farther.

Text content
What's more, what's in the universe created by him was selected Jiangsu Education Press Chinese textbook, Grade 7 Volume 1, Lesson 20. Selected from《 Fly out of the earth 》。
Original text:
Let's focus on the endless universe.
Countless stars are moving in the boundless universe. Most of the stars we can see are stars. It seems that they are cold, but in fact each star is a hot sun. Turbulent Heat Wave Keep spitting out these big fireballs and shooting at the vast desert Cosmic space They are very hot, surface temperature At least three thousand centigrade Even the hardest metals will melt or even turn into gas when they touch their surfaces. However, when you see the small stars twinkling with cold light in the quiet night sky, you may call them glowworm So.
Many red stars are very big, and some can hold 800000 suns. These stars are made of very thin gaseous matter. The thinnest, only tens of thousands of times as dense as the air on the earth Aspirator The resulting "vacuum" is much thinner.
Some stars are very small, and some are smaller than the earth. But this kind of star material is very dense, tip of a matchstick A little bit of that size is equal to the weight of more than ten adults. When a ball of the same size is made of platinum, its weight is only 1/2 million. People can't stand up when they get to such a star, because its gravity is so great that people's bones have been crushed by their own weight. Such a small star emits a strong dazzling white light, and its surface temperature is as high as 30000 to 50000 degrees Celsius.
There are also a large number of medium-sized stars. Like the sun, these stars are not too large in size, not too small in density (the density of the sun is 1.4 times that of water), and the surface temperature is not very high, only a few thousand degrees Celsius.
There are all kinds of stars, but all of them are huge glowing gas balls, all of which are glowing and hot.
Of these stars, I think there will be many non luminous planets around them. Of course, with the largest telescope on the earth today, we cannot directly see the planets of other star worlds, but what reason can we say that the composition of the solar system is unique in the universe? The sun can have planets, why can't other stars?
The distance from this star to that star is 16. 7 kilometers per second spacecraft It will take tens of thousands of years.
It will take tens of thousands of years. What a vast space! Although the stars are very large, and almost every one can hold millions of earth (only a few are smaller than the earth), in the vast space of the universe, this star is just like a water drop in the sea, maybe even smaller.
The nebula composed of dust and gas that is difficult to calculate floats between stars Cosmic space It blocks the passage of starlight. Some of these nebulae are several trillion kilometers thick and do not emit light. If there are stars nearby, they will reflect light, called Bright nebula Otherwise it is dark, called Dark nebula
In this way, we can know that there are shining stars in the universe, as well as bright nebulae, dark nebulae, etc.
More than 10 million stars form a discus shaped thing, which we call Galaxy The sun is also in it. Seen from the earth, the Milky Way is like a ring, set around the earth. This is a beautiful ring, when half of it is not in horizon When the other half crosses the sky, people say that this is a Tianhe It separates the amorous Weaver Girl from the Cowherd.
How could I know that the Milky Way has submerged more than ten million stars! Ten million, if you count them at one breath, you will count them for more than one thousand years!
Is this the whole universe? No, it's just a tiny dot that makes up the universe.
There are thousands of images in the universe Galaxy same Stellar system Most of these star systems have more than 10 million stars.
We can see it with the naked eye andromeda A star system in the. At eight or nine o'clock in the evening of early winter, there is a small spindle shaped shape in the middle of the sky facula This is the star system. It is so far away from us that it takes 2.2 million years for light to travel from it to the earth. In every stellar system, light has to travel from one end to the other for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years. Don't forget that light is the fastest messenger in the universe. If it were a spaceship, it would take millions of years.
We have discovered hundreds of millions of star systems, but don't think we have seen through the whole universe. We should know that hundreds of millions of star systems are still only a small part of the vast Ningzhou. With the continuous improvement of telescope manufacturing technology and the continuous invention of new instruments, we will see a further world.
All the stars and Stellar system They are all moving fast. The sun also took the earth and other planets to fly at a speed of 19 kilometers per second. At the same time, the solar system also participated Galaxy The rotational motion of. In this movement, the solar system travels 250 kilometers per second.
The whole universe is moving and developing.
Ningzhou is endless, and its movement is also endless.
In the era of "staying at home", humans can measure the size, temperature, elements and movement of distant stars. Today, manned spacecraft has successfully landed on the moon, and will reveal more secrets of the universe in the future.
