沈从文:笺纸上的湘西民国文人,乡下人居多,但或进城或留洋,早已脱胎换骨。沈从文却是个另类,他土生土长,没文凭没背景,单凭写作安身立命,侥幸出名亦不忘本,甘心以乡下人自居。沈从文(1902年—1988年),原名沈岳焕,湘西凤凰县人。只读过两年私塾,15岁高小毕业,在湘西沅水一带当过5年兵。他学历低,但阅历多悟性高。水云湘西,风景美风俗奇,野蛮与纯朴、素净与瑰丽,将他的青春濡染得高蹈迷离。 Shen Congwen: Paper on the Xiangxi Republican scholar, most of the country people, but or into the city or to stay foreign, has long been reborn. Shen Congwen is an alternative, he was born and isolated, no diploma no background, writing to settle down, lucky not to forget this, willing to own country people.
