If we have never met, our heart will never be heavy, if we really miss it. I'm afraid I won't be able to relax in my life, just one look.
It is enough to make the sea of ????heart pass through the hurricane. In the barren land, you can understand the scenery more deeply. A long journey is enough to weaken a weak heart. Every time I look at the slight ripples in the autumn water, I can't help but burst into tears. How can you not die, take your time and leisurely. How can love be indifferent? As long as you love each other once, you will have a life without regrets.
What kind of person is Wang Guozhen? It has been almost 10 years since people have seen Wang Guozhen, a poet who was very popular in the early 1990s. His poems and his rights and wrongs were almost forgotten. Wang Guozhen's recent reputational lawsuit caused an uproar and made us think again. Reminds me of the time when poetry was passed down and copied. What happened to the poet who was criticized in the past?
The sensational reputation infringement case brought by Wang Guozhen against Tianfu Morning Post was settled on August 20, 2002. The People's Court of Xicheng District, Beijing, ruled: "Tianfu Morning Post" published a statement of apology to plaintiff Wang Guozhen in the newspaper and compensated plaintiff Wang Guozhen for mental damage of 20,000 yuan; and rejected plaintiff Wang Guozhen's other claims. Wang Guozhen expressed satisfaction with this and would not appeal again.
Wang Guozhen, a youthful poet who became famous all over the country more than ten years ago and once disappeared from people's sight, was reluctantly brought back into the spotlight due to the "hot pot incident". The elegant face, the elegant glasses, the style is still the same, the smile is still the same, and the gentleness is still the same. Compared with the standard photos of poets back then, Wang Guozhen today is not as passionate as he was when he was thirty, but more calm and mature than when he was forty. At 46 years old, he looks quite young and does not look "down and out" at all.
Poetry has turned into hot pot: I have been feeling a little annoyed recently
Sichuan's "Tianfu Morning Post" published an article on March 19, "The great poet Wang Guozhen is troubled by money, and his former glory has become a fleeting thing." The article describes The dilemma of "poetry turned into hot pot, Wang Guozhen was trapped by money" mentioned: Wang Guozhen has rarely seen any works in recent years, and his income from poetry has decreased, so he raised funds to open a hot pot restaurant in Beijing, but it collapsed due to poor management. His situation was getting worse day by day, and his comeback work "Wang Guozhen's Poetry Collection" was rarely noticed... As a last resort, Wang Guozhen, who already had a foundation in calligraphy, began to practice calligraphy intensively, writing signboards for some shops in the capital, and making a living by selling calligraphy.
As soon as the article came out, it was immediately reprinted by more than 100 domestic media. After seeing this, Wang Guozhen became furious and angrily denounced the article as fake news. However, Yang, the author of the article, did not show weakness and plausibly stated the source of the news: an editor of a well-known domestic magazine. This person claimed to be Wang Guozhen's friend and said that he had gone to Wang's house to have a long discussion with him at the beginning of the year... This becomes confusing.
It turned out that the "informed person" was Zhuang, the editor of "Working" magazine of "Zhiyin" magazine group. Zhuang disclosed to his friend Ishino the whole story: On the eve of the Spring Festival this year, the editor-in-chief knew that a friend of mine had a close relationship with the poet Wang Guozhen, so he ordered me to write an article about Wang Guozhen's re-entry into business. On the second day of the first lunar month, I met Mr. Wang at the Beijing Minzu Hotel. I have great admiration for Mr. Wang's moral literature, so how can I have the slightest thought of blasphemy? Two of my friends were also together at that time. We had a very good chat while drinking tea. After returning to Wuhan, I reported the details to the editor-in-chief. Because I was busy with other things, I kept putting off writing this article. Unexpectedly, the all-pervasive "Entertainment Notes" came quickly. On March 18, a colleague asked me for Mr. Wang’s phone number and said that a reporter from a newspaper in Sichuan wanted to write an article about Mr. Wang and asked me if I could help. Since I didn't know the other party's true intentions, I couldn't easily give my friend's phone number to anyone else, so I had to say that I would go home and find Mr. Wang's business card before telling him. The next day, the female reporter called again and asked for Mr. Wang’s phone number. When my colleague handed me the phone, I had no choice but to tell her to go home and tell her. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon that day, I was surfing the Internet and found a piece of news titled "The great poet Wang Guozhen was impoverished and sold his words to make a living." This made me stunned.
This message, which is more than a thousand words long and signed by Yang, reads: "The prosperity has declined, and poetry has become 'hot pot'... The person who exposed the news claims to be a good friend of Wang Guozhen, who is now a well-known person in China. Magazine editor, this person refused to disclose his name during the interview. At the beginning of the year, this person went to Wang Guozhen’s home for a long chat..." I was very angry after seeing this fabricated article, and immediately asked my colleagues about my lunch report. Is the person on the phone the same as Yang? After getting a positive reply, I immediately dialed the number of Yang, who was called a "beautiful reporter" by a Sichuan newspaper. I asked Yang: "How can you make baseless claims to accuse someone of innocence? Who is the editor of a well-known domestic magazine you mentioned in your article? Why would you make up such a rumor to create a gimmick?" Yang argued: "In my article The editor of a well-known domestic magazine is not referring to you..." The matter did not end there. What was even more unexpected to me was that this fake news was quickly reprinted by more than 100 media outlets across the country. To this day, the only thing I feel besides indignation is nausea. ?
In April, Wang Guozhen took Tianfu Morning Post, the author of the article, and Jiangnan Times, which reprinted the article, to court, demanding that Tianfu Morning Post publish an apology statement to eliminate the impact, and demanded compensation from the defendant. Mental damage solatium is RMB 100,000. Wang Guozhen also showed his three phone bills. Among them, the phone bill after March 20 was significantly higher than the previous phone bill by nearly 800 yuan, which proves that after this report was published, people kept calling to verify the facts. He believed that the content of this article was completely inconsistent with the facts and the author of the article did not verify it with him, so he published such content without authorization, seriously damaging his reputation, disrupting his normal life and literary creation, and causing serious harm to him. It caused huge mental damage to him and his family. Wang Guozhen said that he has a legitimate career and stable income, has never opened a hot pot restaurant, and has never been troubled by money. His works are not uninterested, but they are quite popular. Just one copy of "Wang Guozhen's Poetry and Essays" has been pirated by several editions.
Wang Guozhen said that since 1990, the various poetry collections he has published and distributed through publishing houses have accumulated more than 10 million copies, not counting the more than 30 pirated versions that were discovered. So, he couldn't help but ask, "With such a high circulation number, will I be impoverished?"
Wang Guozhen began to write and publish poems since he was a college student in the 1980s, but at that time he It is not known by the general readership. His poems first aroused excitement among middle school students in Beijing and were circulated among them in manuscript form. Since the publication of his first poetry collection "Youth Tide" in 1990, Wang Guozhen has become a huge celebrity. His works can be seen in various message cards, and even entered the spiritual diaries of boys and girls as youthful memories, which can be said to be a sensation.
His poems influenced an entire generation, even today more than 10 years later. According to Wang Guozhen, at the request of young students, when the Education Press published the "High School Chinese Reader" in 2000, he deliberately named five of his essays "Five Essays" and placed them in the first lesson of the first volume for students to study. . Moreover, Wang Guozhen also participated in social activities, hosted youth literature salons, lectured on poems and composed poems, and commented on his insights. The enthusiasm of the media, the love of young people, and the reputation of society. He is aware of people's preference for him, so he does not dare to slack off. In the eyes of ordinary people, Wang Guozhen, who has a great reputation, should not be in poverty, but should have been rich for a long time. Millionaire, but Wang Guozhen also said "no" to this speculation. He thought that although he was not as poor as the newspapers said, he could only be said to be well-off. At that time, poetry collections were published one after another, but they only received royalties, not royalties like now. Sometimes he could only get 5 yuan in royalties for a poem. Piracy also caused a huge loss of his income, and pirated versions of his poems were not enough. Few, but the pirates will never pay him royalties and royalties.
Wang Guozhen also seemed very excited when being interviewed by reporters. He said angrily: "This article is completely based on rumors and random fabrication! It has caused great damage to my good reputation. I have never I have not been interviewed by this Sichuan female reporter. "Wang Guozhen raised funds to open a hotpot restaurant in Beijing on the advice of his friends. Unfortunately, Wang Guozhen, who is full of literary talent, did not understand it at all. The way of doing business, so the hot pot restaurant closed down not long after it opened.
With the closure of this restaurant, most of Wang Guozhen's savings were lost, and Wang Guozhen's situation has become increasingly depressed since then." Wang Guozhen said angrily: "I have never opened a hot pot restaurant! Where was it opened and what was the name of the store? Ask the other party to provide evidence. I have been working at the China Art Research Institute. I have a fixed monthly salary income, and I have been writing and have published dozens of books. I receive royalties and royalties every year. "After a pause, he continued: "I like to eat hot pot, but I have never thought of opening a hot pot restaurant, let alone investing in any hot pot city. It seems that I can only ask the reporter to tell me: when, where, and which hot pot restaurant I opened. This is pure fiction. I have no choice but to sue. ”
The Years of Passion: Poems actually spread in manuscripts
Just like Qiong Yao, Luo Dayou, and Xi Murong cannot be bypassed, Wang Guozhen carved his own traces in the poetry of the 1990s . Someone once commented: In the age of youth, there are poems by Wang Guozhen. Speaking of the publication of his first collection of poems, Wang Guozhen told a story from the late 1980s to the early 1990s. These became Wang Guozhen's passionate years. After some "heating", he became a leading figure in China's new generation of poets. After publishing his first collection of poems "Young Tide" in 1990, he became a leading figure in China's poetry circle and even in Southeast Asia. "Wang Guozhen fever" swept the country, and even Wang Guozhen's poetry lectures appeared in Beijing universities. His poetry collection was listed as one of the top ten best-sellers by the "News and Publishing News". Some people said that 1990 was called the "Wang Guozhen Year" in the publishing industry. The rise of the "Wang Guozhen fever" phenomenon is closely related to Wang Guozhen's clear understanding of the era in which he lived and his accurate grasp of the positioning of cultural creation.
Wang Guozhen began writing poetry during his college years. The dream only became a reality in the second year after the college entrance examination was resumed. Prior to this, he had been working as a milling worker in a factory in Beijing for seven years since he graduated from junior high school at the age of 15. He was admitted to the Chinese Department of Guangdong Jinan University and his poetry was surging. Being able to free up space to write poems, publish poems, and become a poet was the main theme of his romantic life. His four years of college passed leisurely in the artistic conception of poetry. In 1979, when he was a freshman, one day Wang Guozhen received "China." A letter from an editor of the Youth Daily: "Classmate Wang Guozhen, we have selected your poem in your department's magazine "Changge Poetry Magazine", and we are sending you two yuan as a manuscript fee. Five poems. "Wang Guozhen recalled: "It is a group of poems. The first poem is called "Morning Exercise": The sky is about to dawn, classmates wake up early, boxing and long-distance running, exercise is good. Although this publication was not my contribution, it aroused my interest in literary creation. "Wang Guozhen claimed that his creations benefited from four people: Li Shangyin, Li Qingzhao, Pushkin, and Dickinson. He pursued Pu's lyricism, Di's condensation, Li's vigilance, and Qing's elegance.
After becoming famous, Wang Guozhen began to He wanted to prove himself in all aspects, including participating in the host competition. Looking back now, Wang Guozhen said frankly: "I am still an introvert, so there are actually many things that are not suitable for me. But at that time, I was young and full of energy and wanted to participate in many activities. I was in my early 30s and became famous too quickly. There were some things that I couldn’t help myself with, such as many interviews. I had no choice at all. "After Wang Guozhen became famous, there were a series of speeches, signatures, various words of praise, and various criticisms surrounding Wang Guozhen. The most criticized ones were Wang Guozhen's poems. Opponents believed that Wang Guozhen's poems actually combined various works over the past thousands of years. Such wise sayings, expressed more plainly in the form of rhymed lines, are a kind of ideological snack and philosophical speculation. Wang Guozhen himself admitted: "I always pay attention to the object when writing poems. New poems are written for young people, so there is no need to write them." The old-style poems use more allusions and the words are more subtle. Although they can express bold feelings, the people who read the old-style poems are generally older than the people who read my new poems, and their understanding is also higher than that of the people who read my new poems. Young people are deep. I don’t deliberately pursue a certain form of expression, this is also my character. "He is quite confident in his poetry. He once answered a reporter from a newspaper, "I think if poetry cannot move people's hearts and arouse excitement, then there will be no market; as for hype, if there is no content, there will be no market for it. I'm afraid it's all in vain. I believe readers like my poems because my poems can impress some people. ”
Wang Guozhen’s poetry not only contains the life of young people and the clear and clear way of expression, but more importantly, a detached, open-minded, ordinary and indifferent attitude towards life.
This "Wang Guozhen-style attitude towards life" in which he looks down on everything in reality from a higher level of life cannot but be said to be the reason why Wang Guozhen's poems are so popular among young readers. The so-called attitude towards life is actually a creative transformation of the open-minded, elegant, unrestrained and detached life philosophy of traditional Chinese poetry since the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Wang Guozhen's poetry has always been praised and criticized in various ways in the literary world. Wang Guozhen also tried to explore the relationship between his poetry and the times, fashion and popularity. He doesn't use the Internet much, and feels that the Internet is "powerful" because it has amplified the rumor that his "poetry has become a hotpot". "Poetry is a part of my life. Since my first collection of poems in 1990, my books have never stopped being published and republished. I think my poems still have vitality. I think my poems have several The first is that it is easy to understand, the second is that it can arouse readers' enthusiasm, and the third is that it has a certain philosophy. As for the comments, the best comments are time and readers. "Some people think that his poems are shallow, but he is right." He summarized his poem as "Although popular, it can be spread."
Half-way to become a monk: signatures "cause trouble" in the book world
Careful people will find that the big names in the capital's newspaper industry - "Beijing Daily", "Beijing Evening News" and "Yangcheng Evening News" in the flower city of Guangzhou ", the industry newspaper "Labor Daily" and other newspapers' mastheads have the same style of writing, as if they were written by one person. Yes, these are all the "ink marks" left by Wang Guozhen. At first glance, Wang Guo's calligraphy works have stretched strokes, graceful compositions, and dense density. However, upon closer inspection, they are steady and vigorous, majestic and majestic without losing the beauty of elegance. Mr. Shi Xianzhang, director of the Chinese Calligraphers Association, called Wang Guozhen "a bright new star in the calligraphy world."
The article in the "Tianfu Morning Post" complained about also has this description: "Since the current monthly income is not very stable, in order to improve this economic situation, Wang Guozhen, who had a foundation in calligraphy, began to practice calligraphy intensively, and for Some shops in the capital write signboards in exchange for some income. "In response, Wang Guozhen retorted: "I became obsessed with calligraphy in 1993. I learned calligraphy out of interest. Of course, it brought me some economic benefits, but it also brought me some economic benefits. There is no way it can be reduced to the point of "selling words for a living"! I can understand that the reporter wants to find a "selling point", but it can't be nonsense!
The entire article was revealed by an "informed person". It was fine for one or two newspapers to publish it, but now it has been forwarded by more than 100 media outlets across the country. This has had a huge negative impact on me! That reporter went too far."
Poet and calligrapher. Calligraphy, these two fields are completely unrelated to each other. When did Wang Guozhen start to get involved in the calligraphy world? It's quite puzzling. Therefore, Wang Guozhen deciphered the secret himself and traced the origins from poets to calligraphers to the "trouble" caused by signatures. In November 1991, Wang Guozhen was invited to give a speech at Peking University, and the students all took notebooks and asked him to sign his name. Wang Guozhen did not practice calligraphy when he was young, so his handwriting was a bit "sorry for the audience". But faced with sincere faces and enthusiastic hands, he couldn't shirk it. Sure enough, a girl who got the autograph asked him in disappointment, "Teacher Wang, your poems are well written, but why are your handwriting not as good as the poems?" This question made Wang Guozhen blush. When he returned home, he decided to practice calligraphy from now on.
He first practiced pen calligraphy, and within a few months, he was able to write beautiful pen calligraphy when signing. In this way, his interest in practicing calligraphy grew. Since 1993, Wang Guozhen spent most of his energy on the study of calligraphy. He first studied Ouyang Xun's regular script, then Wang Xizhi's running script and Huaisu and Zhang Xu's cursive script. He also referred to the layout of Mao Zedong's calligraphy, even on weekdays. When exchanging letters between relatives and friends, Wang Guozhen also switched to writing with a brush.
It is also very interesting to say that Wang Guozhen's calligraphy, like his poems, first spread among calligraphy enthusiasts. In the autumn of 2000, Wang Guozhen got acquainted with an American editor of a certain newspaper. When they met, he told him that there were calligraphy written by him at home. Wang Guozhen was surprised and said, "I have never sold any calligraphy, and I have never met you. Where did this come from?" Speaking of?
" It turns out that the editor collected it from Wang Guozhen's correspondence with a friend. There was another thing that surprised Wang Guozhen. At the beginning of last year, Wang Guozhen saw his two-page letter for sale in a calligraphy and painting shop in Liulichang, Beijing. He stepped forward and asked how much it was worth. The shop owner said he wouldn’t sell it for less than a thousand yuan.
Wang Guozhen asked if it was really worth so much money? The shop owner said that there are two most valuable calligraphy in the world. The calligraphy written by famous people is called famous people's calligraphy, and the calligraphy written by calligraphers is called famous people's calligraphy. And Wang Guozhen's calligraphy has both, how can it not be valuable? Although Wang Guozhen was dubious, he was still reminded. He was afraid that his calligraphy works for entertainment would be lost outside, and he would no longer easily pass them down with a brush.
After 1993, calligraphy became Wang Guozhen’s focus. For a long time, Wang Guozhen insisted on practicing calligraphy for one hour a day, and his calligraphy was often included in the collections of works published in the future. Wang Guozhen specifically talked about his many experiences related to calligraphy, "When I went to Penghu, Anhui to participate in an event in 1998, I sat with the local county magistrate. He asked me: 'I have read two poetry collections, the author is also named Wang Guozhen , I don’t know if it’s you,” I answered him: “As far as I know, there is no other person named Wang Guozhen who has published a collection of poems.” He was very happy to tell me that I like your poems very much, but I like your calligraphy even more. "Wang Guozhen's calligraphy often appears in some scenic spots, tourist attractions, schools, hotels, etc., and the price of his calligraphy has become a "trade secret"..." By 1998, I had developed the style and gave some Local inscriptions are not like doing inscriptions on stores in the capital as mentioned in the article. It is true to do calligraphy, but it is false to make a living by selling calligraphy.”
Wang Guozhen said that he would hold a solo exhibition of calligraphy at an appropriate time. , now some people are beginning to collect his calligraphy, and a large part of them are readers back then. Ten years ago, most of the readers of Wang Guozhen's poems were young boys and girls; today, most of the readers of Wang Guozhen's calligraphy are middle-aged people. From "poet Wang Guozhen" to "calligrapher Wang Guozhen", it would be a bit surprising if you are not mentally prepared. Wang Guozhen once said in an article that after he became famous for his poems, middle school teachers and classmates were once confused: "Is this Wang Guozhen the same as that Wang Guozhen?"
It was due to interest: "not doing his job properly" composing lyrics and composing music
Wang Guozhen first became popular in the literary world with his lyric poems and philosophical phrases. However, few people know that he is also quite accomplished in old-style poetry. In recent years, Wang Guozhen has created many old-style poems. His early lyric poems were more graceful and lingering in comparison, while his recent lyrics are more majestic and heroic. When discussing with Wang Guozhen the reason, there are probably three reasons: first, "the articles are getting older and more mature", which is related to the increase in age and experience; second, Wang Guozhen has been fond of traveling in recent years, and most of his poems write about mountain climbing and watching the sea. Naturally, he takes the bold and unrestrained path; in addition, and more importantly, the practice of calligraphy in recent years has also affected his state of mind and works. The heroic calligraphy works and the magnificent lyrics confirm and complement each other, and together interpret Wang Guozhen’s achievements in recent years. The changed style.
Nowadays, Wang Guozhen writes more old-style poetry. He feels that the charm of some things cannot be reflected in new-style poetry. Moreover, the combination of old-style Ci and calligraphy is more harmonious. Calligraphy has created a new field for Wang Guozhen. He would not have entered this field without learning calligraphy.
Asked about the decline of new poetry today, Wang Guozhen believes that there are fewer works that can arouse people's enthusiasm. Poems have neglected readers, and readers will certainly neglect poetry. Wang Guozhen said that he has not completely given up writing poetry, but he no longer writes love poems very much. After entering his 40s, his readership has also reached middle age. Wang Guozhen is not worried at all that his "lyrical and philosophical poems" are not as popular as the market, even including his son who has not shown any interest in his poems, and Not exactly a loyal reader’s wife.
In recent years, in addition to focusing on the research and creation of calligraphy and painting, Wang Guozhen has also released several musical works composed by himself. Wang Guozhen said: "In the past few years, I have mainly practiced calligraphy because I felt that my handwriting was not very good. I didn't expect that after practicing, I would be recognized by some people. But of course I also became a monk halfway. Since 2000 I also compose music for some of my own poems, which is some of my hobbies." Wang Guozhen only started to learn music theory by himself in May of that year. Every time he creates, Wang Guozhen always has a melody echoing in his ears, because "this can trigger inspiration." Slowly he discovered that "as soon as the first verse is figured out, the rest will flow out very quickly." It was in such a state of self-study that Wang Guozhen actually composed more than 20 ethnic or bel canto songs.
These songs were not only well received by professionals, but also began to appear frequently in TV art shows around the country. Wang Guozhen achieved a triple jump from "poet" to "calligrapher" and then to "composer".
“Some people say that my poems are suitable for composing music, and I also think that they can be composed for music. My purpose of doing things is very simple, just based on my interest. When I first wrote poems, the poetry world was also in a recession. At that time, Some friends advised me not to write poetry, but I persisted in writing just because of my hobby, without expecting it to become a sensation or a best-seller; I practiced calligraphy because my calligraphy was not ideal, and I only composed music because I was interested." Wang Guozhen said that he never deliberately. Do things that don't interest you. The Chinese music scene has released cassette tapes of the "Wang Guozhen Ballad Series", some of which were listed as one of the top ten best-selling tapes of the month by China Youth Daily. At the "Fashion Storm·New Poetry Recitation & Pop Music Concert" held in the National Library Concert Hall in July 2001, when the famous poet Wang Guozhen, who had been silent in the poetry world for a long time, appeared in the audience, the crowd burst into warm applause. "Return to the poetry world" has attracted a lot of attention. Some people believe that in today's increasingly diversified society, packaging poets through market-oriented operations has become a tasteful and pragmatic business behavior, which will have a positive impact and certain promotion effect on the development of Chinese poetry. He is currently planning to spend three to five years composing 180 Tang poems, Song lyrics, and Yuan operas, and has also composed twenty or thirty pieces of music for his previous poems.
Restore my innocence: 20,000 yuan to win back reputation
As a category of art, these are all analogous. The relaxation and sporadicness of poetry and calligraphy reflect each other, and the rhythm and rhyme of music are also in the same vein as poetry. This probably also explains from the side why Wang Guozhen is able to comprehend various categories of art. Wang Guozhen, who regards "calligraphy as a career and composition as a hobby", has never broken with poetry, because the objects of his calligraphy are all his own old-style poems, and the music he composes are also his own catchy new-style poems. Wang Guozhen once said in a poem, "The ocean is a big piece of paper, and naturally it is an incomparable copybook." Besides poetry, books, literature, and music, he also likes traveling. He said that one can naturally produce poems, paintings and melodies. Even if you only see a dead branch, you can still think of the power of calligraphy, which makes people suddenly enlightened. It can be said that paying attention to everything leads to knowledge.
Wang Guozhen said that for him, there has always been no talk of popularity, comeback, or silence. From poetry and calligraphy to now painting, lyrics and music, he just wants to have a quiet environment and a peaceful mind. , do what you like. “The life of news lies in truthfulness, objectivity and integrity. If we don’t fight this lawsuit, we may not know what news will be released next time.” This became the purpose of his decision to fight this lawsuit. On April 1, Wang Guozhen's attorney officially sent a lawyer's letter to Sichuan's Tianfu Morning News, which first published the article "Troubled by Money," and to the author Yang, stating that he would file a lawsuit in court in the near future.
On July 4, Wang Guozhen, who was once called "money-struck" by the media, sued "Tianfu Morning News" (the first defendant) and "Tianfu Morning News" female reporter Yang (the second defendant) The case of infringement of reputation rights was heard in the Xicheng District Court of Beijing. The plaintiff believes that "opening a hotpot restaurant", "reciting in person at a poetry recital in order to make a comeback", "publishing a book that no one cares about" and "unstable income" mentioned in the article are all false reports and the terms used have obvious derogatory connotations. , infringed upon the plaintiff’s right of reputation. Request the court to order the first defendant to stop the infringement, apologize, eliminate the impact and compensate for mental damage of 100,000 yuan, and order the second defendant to bear joint liability and bear all litigation costs of this case.
“The Tianfu Morning Post’s report on the plaintiff Wang Guozhen is a positive report. It does not disparage or damage the plaintiff’s reputation and does not constitute infringement.” The defendant’s attorney responded. The defendant testified that there were three reports about the plaintiff, namely "Wang Guozhen was troubled by money" on March 19, "Wang Guozhen is trying to make a lot of money" on March 20, and "Wang Guozhen published his biography of himself" on March 21. "Revealing the Secret", these three articles belong to a series of follow-up reports. The defendant's lawyer pointed out that the three articles were just reporters' interviews with three different people, reflecting objective facts from different aspects, and did not insult, slander or damage the plaintiff's reputation by disclosing his privacy. He requested the court to dismiss the plaintiff's lawsuit in accordance with the law.
As the second defendant, the lawyer representing Yang, a female reporter from "Tianfu Morning News", said that Yang's behavior was official and she should not be listed as a defendant in this case, let alone bear any responsibility for the plaintiff. "Does it mean that being in poverty damages his reputation?" the second defendant's lawyer raised doubts.
The defendant believed that the article reported different opinions of different people on the plaintiff, which were personal subjective opinions, and it was not necessary or necessary to verify its authenticity. As the saying goes, in the cultural world, all opinions are contending. Therefore, Yang Qiaochu's behavior did not infringe on the plaintiff's right of reputation. He requested the court to reject the plaintiff's lawsuit. At the end of the trial, both parties were willing to accept court mediation, but in the end no mediation agreement was reached.
On August 20, the Xicheng District People’s Court of Beijing held another hearing and finally ruled that the defendant "Tianfu Morning News" published an apology statement to the plaintiff Wang Guozhen in the newspaper (the content must be reviewed by the court); the defendant "Tianfu Morning News" 》The company compensated the plaintiff 20,000 yuan in solatium for mental damage; rejected the plaintiff’s other claims. Wang Guozhen expressed satisfaction with the outcome of the trial and would not appeal again.
“I really don’t want something like this to happen again. I am content to live my own peaceful life.” The poet Wang Guozhen grew up in a family with a strong sense of tradition since he was a child. He is used to being calm and calm. Keep silent and never talk nonsense. His family is also low-key. His wife is from Henan. When she was in college, she admired Wang Guozhen enthusiastically and was keen on copying his poems. They got married in 1992 and their son is 8 years old this year. The little guy is very smart and naughty. "I have written many love poems. My love experience must be very tortuous, right?" Wang Guozhen said: "My love experience is not a setback but a tortuous one. Some things have a very storyline. In 1991, I met her at the National Book 'Golden Key' Award Ceremony. We fell in love at first sight, and we were 16 years apart. I won’t go into details about our personal relationship. If you are interested, I can write a book about it in the future.”
