时间抹得去伤痛,却抹不去记忆。
一年前的6月13日,北京那场淅淅沥沥的雨带走了一位大师,也从此牵起了我们永久的思念。他,就是华君武,我国著名的漫画大师、社会活动家。去年此时,我们怀着悲痛的心情北上吊唁,代表浙江日报报业集团党委,在华老的灵堂前敬献了鲜花。如今转眼一年,敬重的华老在我心中却依然宛在,还记得他虽年已耄耋,但仪态雍容,精神矍铄,那一幕幕生动的画面仿佛就在昨天。翻开华老与我多年交往的书信,拿出他赠予我的画作,摊开一起合影的照片,岁月沧桑,温馨的记忆在我心头一一浮现……
华老祖籍江苏无锡,1915年4月24日生于杭州。他对自己的故乡怀有深深的眷恋,尤其是在晚年,深厚情缘更是融注在一幅幅为家乡媒体创作的漫画里。我第一次见到华老是1994年10月份,当时我担任浙江日报总编办接待科科长,全程陪同前来杭州的华老。原以为大师会有架子、很难相处,所以见面前还心有忐忑,但是一见面,发现全无必要。华老亲切随和,说话幽默,只要他在现场气氛一定很好。17岁就离开杭州的华老心心念念想着臭豆腐、霉苋菜梗,还有宁波咸鱼鲞。回来的当天傍晚,浙报的小车班司机带着他在街上到处找臭豆腐,最后晚上六点多在武林门的一家小店里解了馋。这些重温的儿时生活滋味让华老身在远方却心系故乡,只要有机会,他就会来杭州走走看看,先后在《浙江日报》《钱江晚报》《美术报》《钱塘周末》发表了300多幅漫画作品。1999年5月9日是《浙江日报》50华诞,华老在浙江展览馆特别举办“华君武百幅漫画展”,为此祝贺;2006年,《钱江晚报》创刊20周年,已91岁高龄的华老又为《钱江晚报》写下了“我和钱江晚报结缘20年。钱江晚报20岁。祝贺她长命百岁、越办越好”的题词,这也是华老最后一次为《钱江晚报》题字。
得故乡湖山灵气,出漫画创作精品。从15岁在当时的《浙江日报》上发表第一幅漫画《江南》开始,华老一生浸淫其间,殚精竭虑,留下了40多部画册与文集,像一道彩虹,绚丽多姿,高接云天;又是一种精神,特立独行,幽默深邃。人们怀念他,由衷地发出敬意,从其画品、艺品到通达坦荡的人品。华老是延安时期老一辈革命艺术家,1938年到延安。初在陕北公学,后到鲁迅艺术文学院任研究员和教员,亲身聆听毛主席在延安文艺座谈会上的讲话。在延安期间,毛主席还观看了蔡若虹、张谔和华君武三个人举办的讽刺漫画展,当华君武请毛主席提出批评时,毛主席说:“漫画要民族化、大众化,漫画要发展的。”这一讲话指明了漫画作品的创作方向,对华君武的创作起到了积极推动作用。他以漫画作为战斗武器,在各个不同历史时期,画出了紧扣时代脉搏的好作品,无论在战争年代还是和平建设时期都起到不可估量的作用。
华老曾明确说:“现代中国漫画之发展,报纸功不可没,漫画靠报纸发表走入社会,报纸培养了不少漫画家。”这是经验之谈。他的漫画,自上世纪40年代起,在中华民族中成为了一种难得的“全民阅读”对象。稍有报章阅读能力的人,无不知晓其名其画。1945年抗战结束日本投降后,党组织调他到了东北,为了揭露蒋介石假和谈、真备战的嘴脸,这一时期他创作了《磨好刀再杀》《榜样》《运输队》等一批代表性讽刺漫画作品,极大地鼓舞了解放区和统战区广大军民的斗志,而国民党情报特务机关悬赏捉拿、暗杀华君武;1961年,北京某大学批评诗圣杜甫长诗《兵车行》是和平主义思想,华老针对这一现象创作了《杜甫检讨》漫画作品予以讽刺,刊在《光明日报》上,周总理看了哈哈大笑;1962年10月,针对社会上少做事少犯错误的倾向,他创作了《永不走路、永不摔跤、永处襁褓》的讽刺漫画,刊登在《光明日报》上。这幅漫画毛主席看到后写了“有了错误、改了就好”八个大字,作为副件材料发给正在北京参加中央工作会议的代表。
“爱人者,人恒爱之;敬人者,人恒敬之。”华君武说,他从不见异思迁,也不怕自己挫败,之所以这样,是因为他爱漫画,爱这个国家,爱这个国家的人民。而故乡人民同样热爱这位漫画大师,让华老真的在杭城留下点什么。在浙报老同志的建议下,杭州市政府选址三处,最后在西湖边的唐云艺术馆边上竖起一堵“华君武漫画纪念墙”,以这样的方式来纪念这位杰出的漫画家。
对于失去这样一位大师,杭城人民都感到万分遗憾,然而在悲痛之余,我有幸与华老见上最后一面,并与其儿子华端端、华方方一同护卫华老灵车前往八宝山殡仪馆,将其安置在华老生前亲自选好的双墓穴中,与先逝的老伴宋琦一起长眠。遵从他的遗愿,丧事一切从简,华老清雅恬静、淡泊名利的风范无论身前还是身后,都熠熠生辉,已经成为也终将继续成为我们后生学习的楷模。他卓著的创作成果、崇高的艺术追求、高尚的精神境界,也将随着他留下来的珍贵艺术作品和精神财富而流芳百世!□
In Remembrance of Master Hua Junwu
By Cao Dachun
Hua Junwu (1915-2010), a prominent cartoon master and high-profile social activist, passed away on June 13, 2010, a rainy day in Beijing. On the behalf of the Zhejiang Daily Group, a group of us went to Beijing to express our condolence and presented flowers respectfully at his memorial service. With the two sons of Hua Junwu, I escorted the hearse all the way to Babaoshan Cemetery in Beijing, where the master’s ash box was placed side by side with that of his wife’s.
A year has flown away and I still see him vividly in my mind’s eye. My memory of the master, accumulated over years, flashes as if everything were yesterday. In my private collection are his letters to me over years, his gift paintings, and photos in which we appear together.
Born in Hangzhou on April 24, 1915, Hua Junwu showed a strong passion for his hometown in his evening years. I first met him in October 1994 when I was in charge of reception at the office of the editor-in-chief of Zhejiang Daily. I was with him all the time during his visit to the hometown. My previous worry that he might act with the air of a master vanished as the first sight of the amiable old man. A man of humor, he oozed with a lovely sense of congeniality and laughter whereas he was.
He had left Hangzhou at 17. When he came back to his hometown, he let us know his nostalgic yearning for local food such as stinky tofu and salted fish. In the first afternoon in Hangzhou, we drove around the city looking for a street vendor or a restaurant selling stinky tofu. Around six o’clock we finally found a small restaurant at Wulin Gate where the master eagerly satisfied himself with the repulsively redolent delicacy of his childhood years.
In his last years, the master published altogether a total of more than 300 cartoons in Zhejiang Daily, Qianjiang Evening News, Fine Arts, and Qiantang Weekend. On May 9, 1999, he held a solo exhibition of 100 cartoons at Zhejiang Exhibition Center in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Zhejiang Daily. In 2006 when Qianjiang Evening News marked its 20th anniversary, the 91-year-old Hua wrote a 24-character inscription for the publication. It was the last time the master wrote something for the popular newspaper.
Hua was an inspired cartoonist with a long and productive career. His first cartoon appeared in Zhejiang Daily when he was only 15. During his long career, he created a large quantity of satire in the form of cartoon. He played a positive role in the national politics and was highly appreciated by state leaders. His sharp graphic criticism was a national phenomenon from the 1940s onward. He published forty some collections of cartoons and essays.
The people in Hangzhou loved Hua. The city government offered three sites to establish a memorial for the master. Today, the memorial wall in honor of the master stands near Tang Yun Art Museum on the West Lake. □
