Gao Xingjian
Soul Mountain
Chapter One
translated by Mabel Lee
This piece is 2,600 words or about seven printed pages long
THE OLD BUS is a city reject. After shaking in it for twelve hours on the potholed highway since early morning, you arrive in this mountain county town in the South.
xlfu laogong, yet your laogong and my laogong are both used. People here speak with a unique intonation even though they are descendants of the same legendary emperor and are of the same culture and race.
"Lingshan"
"What?" "Lingshan, ling meaning spirit or soul, and shan meaning mountain." Your friend opposite had closed his eyes and WAS "At the source of the You River," he said, opening his eyes. You didn’t know this You River either, but was embarrassed about asking and gave an ambiguous nod which could have meant either "I see, thanks" or "Oh, I know the place". This satisfied your desire for superiority, but not your curiosity. After a while you asked how to get there and the route up the mountain. "Take the train to Wuyizhen, then go upstream by boat on the You River."

View from the other shore of Gao Xingjian
xingjian Nobel Prize Winner
By Shuyu Kong and Colin S. Hawes
January 26, 2001 - "Literature is essentially an individual's personal affair."
- Gao Xingjian, "Without Isms"
Chinese people have wondered for decades why a Chinese writer never received the Nobel Prize for Literatureafter all, they reasoned, even Japan has received two. In their eyes, this was both an insult to their excellent writers, and a slap in the face for their nation.
Yet when the prestigious prize was finally awarded to their compatriot Gao Xingjian late last year, both Chinese and international commentators seemed shocked at the Swedish Academy's decision rather than joyful. The official news media in China had enthusiastically reported all the other Nobel Prize winners but remained strangely quiet about the literature prize this time.
Then a director of the Chinese Writers' Association declared: "This shows that the Nobel Prize for literature has virtually been used for political purposes and thus has lost its authority...China boasts many world famous literary works and writers, about which the Nobel Committee knows little (People's Daily, English Online Edition, Oct. 13)."

    INTRODUCTION
    Playwright, critic, and novelist Gao was a prominent leader of the avant-garde movement in fiction and drama that emerged in the wake of the Cultural Revolution in China from 1966 to 1976. In 2000 he received the Nobel Prize in Literature from the Swedish Academy, the first time the prize had been awarded for a body of writing in the Chinese language. Gao, a self-exiled dissident writer, emigrated from China to France in 1987 in order to escape government persecution for his controversial plays, prose, and essays. His novel La Montagne de l'¢me (1995; translated in Chinese as

    Gao Zingjian, pictured in the 1980s, fled China and is now a French citizen
    Gao Xingjian has become the first Chinese writer ever to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. He was awarded the prize for "an oeuvre of universal validity, bitter insights and linguistic ingenuity, which has opened new paths for the Chinese novel and drama," the jury decided. Gao Xingjian, now a French citizen, was born in Jiangxi province in 1940 and grew up in the aftermath of the Japanese invasion of China. He has written numerous plays in Chinese, including The Bus Stop, and has introduced avant-garde ideas from European theatre to Chinese audiences. His first novella was published in 1978. One of his best known works is Soul Mountain, in which he portrays an individual's search for roots, inner peace and liberty via an odyssey in time and space through the Chinese countryside.

    Translated by Gilbert C.F. Fong "My aim is to create a new and contemporary musical theatre based on the foundations of Eastern traditional drama, an omnipotent theatre of singing, movement, dialogue, and the martial arts."
    Snow in August comes close to being Gao Xingjian’s ideal theatre." "A welcome addition to the growing body of Gao's works available in English." Asian Theatre Journal From Gao Xingjian, a winner of the 2000 Nobel Prize for Literature, comes a "major drama about life. Snow in August Snow in August is based on the life of Huineng (AD 633-713), the Sixth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism in Tang Dynasty China. Packed with the myriad sights and sounds of both the Eastern and Western theatrical traditions, the play exudes wonder and mysticism. The many koan cases and the story of Huineng's enlightenment afford the audience fascinating vignettes of Gao’s vision of life and existence ¢w an awareness of the Void and the need for a personal peace with oneself.

    Ray Suarez talks with Chinese-born author Gao Xingjian, winner of the 2000 Nobel Prize for Literature.
    RAY SUAREZ: The most recent Nobel Prize for literature marked the first in the awards history; it was given to a writer working in Chinese. Gao Xingjian is a painter and playwright, as well as novelist. He has been living in France since 1987, and the Nobel Prize only brought fresh denunciation from the government in Beijing. Gao Zingjian's first work published in English in America is called "Soul Mountain." His translator for the interview, Mabel Lee, also translated "Soul Mountain" from Chinese.
    Nobel Laureate Gao Xingjian, welcome. RAY SUAREZ: How has winning the Nobel Prize changed your life? GAO XINGJIAN: (speaking through interpreter) This has had a great impact on my life. I was quite busy before, but it was a very quiet and ordered life. But after the announcement, for four months I've been dealing with media all the time. And I have no time for writing. So this is the huge change.

    One Man's Bible is the second novel by Nobel Prize-winning author Gao Xingjian to appear in English. Following on the heels of his highly praised Soul Mountain , this later work is as candid as the first, and written with the same grace and beauty.
    In a Hong Kong hotel room in 1996, Gao Xingjian's lover, Marguerite, stirs up his memories of childhood and early adult life under the shadow of Mao Zedong and the Cultural Revolution. Gao has been living in self-imposed exile in France and has traveled to this Western-influenced Chinese city-state, so close to his homeland, for the staging of one of his plays. What follows is a fictionalized account of Gao Xingjian's life under the Communist regime. Whether in "beehive" offices in Beijing or in isolated rural towns, daily life is riddled with paranoia and fear, as revolutionaries, counterrevolutionaries, reactionaries, counterreactionaries, and government propaganda turn citizens against one another. It is a place where a single sentence spoken ten years earlier can make one an enemy of the state. Gao evokes the spiritual torture of political and intellectual repression in graphic detail, including the heartbreaking betrayals he suffers in his relationships with women and men alike. One Man's Bible is a profound meditation on the essence of writing, on exile, on the effects of political oppression on the human spirit, and on how the human spirit can triumph.
