Saturday night, the reporter came to Wang Yang's home on Jiading Road, and this is where she holds the family culture salon. As soon as he entered the house, Wang Yang warmly entertained the reporters, but there were still some rules, such as asking if the nucleic acid had been tested, and wearing shoe covers when entering the house. The reporter saw that although this is an old house, it is very clean, the furniture is arranged in an orderly manner, and the whole room gives a very warm feeling. Although the salon has not yet started, fruits, snacks, and tea have been filled.

Our role model, cultural salon is our spiritual home, and I have benefited a lot from it.”
Peng Bo participated in the family cultural salon in 1996. At that time, he thought that the cultural salon was in a very high-end and luxurious place. As a result, when I went to Mr. Wang Yang's house, the house was small and very crowded, and many people listened to the class as a small bench in the corridor. It was intense, and Teacher Jin's speech was also very passionate." Peng Bo still remembers that the first lesson he attended the salon was " Poetry ", followed by Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties literature.
Although Chen Xiongfei followed Jin Youxin in the night school in 1986, he only learned about Mr. Wang Yang's family culture salon by chance in the last three years, and he was reluctant to leave after he came.
was reluctant to hold a cultural salon at the student's home
Talking about this family cultural salon, Wang Yang said that it has to start with his husband Jin Youxin. Jin Youxin graduated from the Performance Department of Shanghai Theater Academy. He used to be the director of the Qingdao Youth Art Troupe. In the 1990s, Jin Youxin was the principal of the Sifang District Cadre and Staff Amateur University. substitute teacher. In 1994, Jin Youxin suffered a heart attack and his health was deteriorating, but he couldn't let go of the students he taught, so he thought of using the evening time to make up for them, "These students usually came to him when they had problems. There are very few people going to school, especially workers in factories and cadres in government agencies." The family culture salon
started with supplementary classes. At first, there were only a few people. Later, as the film grew, more and more people participated. There are as many as 20 to 30 people gathering every week, and the small room can no longer accommodate latecomers, so they can only sit in the corridor. Later, it started to have a fixed time and held regular gatherings every Saturday night, thus forming a cultural salon! There are more than 20 young people gathered in the small living room of more than ten square meters, including workers, students, teachers, officers and soldiers of the army, and thousands of agencies. When the
salon first started, it was Jin Youxin who spoke by himself. He talked about Chinese ancient culture to modern and contemporary culture, from scar literature to online literature, covering literature, aesthetics, economy, management, and law. , philosophy, psychology, music, drama and other fields. In the cultural salon, Jin Youxin not only discussed the intersection of traditional Chinese culture and Western culture, but also popularized and improved young people's knowledge. He said that Nianjing people should be cultivated into people with innovation consciousness, reform consciousness, cultural literacy, aesthetic literacy and high dedication.
This salon continued until the second half of 1996, when Kim Yo-shin's condition deteriorated and he was hospitalized, paused. On January 11, 1997, he tragically passed away due to a heart attack, and the event was suspended. In memory of him, the Cultural Salon was named New Cultural Salon.
re-run
This is the continuation of Jin Youxin's life
After Jin Youxin left, his students found Wang Yang and said that they were very reluctant to Mr. Jin and hoped that Wang Yang could continue to run the salon. Wang Yang also felt that the salon was the continuation of Jin Youxin's life, and most of the people who participated in the salon were Jin Youxin's students, and everyone helped each other, so in November 1998, the cultural salon was re-opened. Continue like a baton, this is the new beginning of the New Culture Salon."
In fact, Wang Yang and Jin Youxin are both very fond of literature. At that time, Wang Yang was talking about modern literature at the night big , so the cultural salon was re-opened. , the keynote speaker at the beginning was Wang Yang himself. At the cultural salon, Wang Yang talked about novels, prose, and poetry, and a month passed in a flash. But Wang Yang felt that it would not work for a long time, "I'm not new, I don't have that much knowledge." Therefore, Wang Yang thought of inviting "foreign aid". She wanted to invite some learned guests to be the keynote speakers of this family culture salon. Because Jin Youxin has a deep relationship with Qingdao's literary circle, and this family culture salon has already caused some repercussions in the society, when Wang Yang invited these Qingdao literary masters, many people readily accepted. .
Wang Yang said that she has invited more than 200 teachers to give lectures, ranging from ancient Chinese mythology, pre-Qin literature , Tang poetry and Song poetry to modern and contemporary literature, from Lu Xun, Guo Moruo , Xu Zhimo , Zhang Ailing talked about Cao Yu , Ba Jin , Zhou Youguang and so on. Wang Yang also took advantage of the relationship between students, relatives and friends to invite some people from the United States, Germany, the Netherlands, Greece and other countries, and asked them to introduce foreign literature and the current situation of philosophy, "This has brought us new Information enriches our cultural life.”
In addition to giving lectures, Wang Yang also uses holidays to carry out outdoor activities, such as mountain climbing, tours, visits, etc. So far, he has held more than 20 New Year’s parties, indoor concerts and poetry breaks. and other activities.
salon In recent years, the
salon has been very fulfilling every day without wasting time. The
salon has been very impressive. During this process, some people also proposed to make the salon bigger and stronger, and it could be moved to a large conference room. Wang Yang did not accept these suggestions, because in her opinion, since it is called a family culture salon, it should be done at home, but if it is moved to someone else's place, it will not be called a family culture salon. The family culture salon
has been held for 28 years, and it has been able to persist until now. Wang Yang said that on the one hand, it is because of these students, "especially these young students, they are eager for knowledge and hope that the salon will continue to be held. This is everyone's responsibility. Strong demand." On the other hand, it is also Wang Yang's own demand, she said that she has retired and has to find something to do so as not to waste time.
So in the past 20 years, Wang Yang not only did not feel tired, but he lived a fulfilling life every day, and sometimes he would write something, "It's like a memoir, I write a little every day, and it accumulates, even if it's not for the future. It’s good for people to see, and it’s good to show it to yourself.” As she wrote, it was almost the weekend, and at this time Wang Yang began to prepare for the salon again, such as contacting the guests, asking the guests about the topic of the lecture, and asking the students what their experiences were, and she sorted them out. Send it to everyone later. To this end, Wang Yang also learned WeChat and set up a WeChat group, where the salon’s big and small things are said in the WeChat group, “In this way, I don’t think I’m wasting my time.” The
students all said that Mr. Wang Yang is very trendy, except for WeChat, Wang Yang also taught himself to cut short videos and make electronic photo albums. Wang Yang said that this era is advancing, and if you don't study, people will get older, "I see a lot of older people who don't know anything, just waiting for their children to serve at home, I can't live this kind of life, Until now, I do all the shopping and cooking myself."
As for the future of the family culture salon, Wang Yang said that it will end when he can't walk one day. Someone asked her if she could find a successor, and Wang Yang said whoever they wanted would take over.
looks back on the past so many years, and Wang Yang wrote her own closing remarks, which shows how much she attaches to this family culture salon. In this concluding remark, Wang Yang wrote, "Some people say that I am Wang Yangda.A boat in the sea, carrying the longing and desire of seekers to learn, is still moving forward in the sea despite the wind and waves. The road is a long way to go, and I will go up and down to search for it. "
