(author: Jiang Zilong,Born in 1941,The famous writer.Vice chairman, Chinese Writers Association chairman of Tianjin, Tianjin literary writers association.)

In 1987 the "Chinese literary Chronicle", the most sensational events are thirty writers, editors at the Mount Wutai crash. Later, after the accident people into two kinds: one is writing attitude Li said process and feelings about the accident; a tight lipped, made no mention of the accident. I belong to the latter, the reason is that some very strange phenomenon, said it was not clear. At that time I was most probably it did not actually happen that, with the slight accident without halter, on Mount Wutai talk rubbish is related, both have been punished, dare to venture, outspoken!

But I never forget that accident, on every detail, every man said, still remember clearly. Life there is something will never forget. In fact it was the car accident that I started to make a conscious effort to modify their views on some things, consciousness gradually changed a lot. So fifteen years later, I will review the accident......

In the summer of 1987, the Shanxi Provincial Writers Association launched the "the Yellow River literary pen". A number of the world famous Yingxiu gathered in Taiyuan, second days to take a big car straight Mount Wutai. Open up a car sound is quite big, swaying feeling is also very strong, and there is no armrest chair, the person in the car didn't catch no scratch, no fixed his body as the car, swing rhythm swinging. An idea had flashed through my mind: the car run road insurance? In the event of an emergency brake hold where? I see in front of the chair back is high and narrow, two back among the gap, I meet special condition is hold in front of the chair back. Conscience, then just casually walked a little child of God, of the trip is no good feeling, not really thought after the accident. Besides the large car with a driver is borrowed from the procuratorate, the procuratorate, always give people a sense of security. And the driver's wife and children also sat in the car, which give the driving safety on the double insurance!

All the way to have a pleasant talk together, was in high spirits, at noon in Xinzhou jump the queue. He actually called, Xinzhou Federation of literary and art circles. Well, this afternoon you on the Mount Wutai. Because of the time too early, we unable to hold oneself back to visit the temple. Some people see the Buddha worship, the incense burning incense, the kowtow kowtow. Do in Rome as Rome does., not only to the holy land of Buddhism, should with the Buddhist ceremony, everyone come to Taiwan, not blunt it is Buddhist mountains? When we came to the "wheels" place, suddenly perked up, someone, someone that turn, pen in a beautiful young female editor very grab an eye most stole the show, she said I will forward, again how? With a few people also backwash falun...... A time chirp, loud, quite loud in solemn temple.

In the evening, the monks gathered in a hall in the practice. Because of the heat of the day, or just to make one observation, the doors and windows open. Rare to catch this opportunity, tourists are standing quietly look on the outside, quietly listening. Suddenly someone pointed to paddle up, natural or in its people, can not female editor of the beautiful, they found a nun was Juan beauty, will go all lengths to discuss and comment, solemn ritual activities which inevitably disturb the temple. Then the nun knows can't bear this point, or in order not to affect the rituals, had alone to withdraw from the great hall, hurriedly ran to the back.

In this way, the first day the people remain free to spend the rich colors of the "pen of the Yellow River".

The second day, sunny, the mountains between vegetation mist. The first activity pen arrangement is to visit "Bulmo hole", car carrying all participate in the pen man climbed a not too high peaks, there is a very small hole mountain, who is said to go into the back, like Buddha mother reengineering, reborn. Therefore has great plenty of great wisdom, the size fits all. A famous critic first drilled into, but this time the rain, like a fog, the wind fluttering, lost all around the peaks, wet the surface of the soil, people may worry about the dirty clothes, then no longer bore. Critics may in the cave alone, to the outside call, urged people to drill. So we talk: I really saw his mother heart and liver...... Shanghai one critic on the outside and asked: how do you know that Buddha mother darling? He said: a kind with people. Shanghai man asked: do you see the man heart and liver? He said: I did not see the man has not seen the pig!

Ren how he encouraged, no one again into the hole, he had to get out of. The time has come to let you see the car, ran the next attraction. Don't look at your enthusiasm is not high drilling holes for climbing, get into the car spirit head immediately came up, people like to chat, seems to borrow the pen to see the scenery is secondary, everyone together to talk pitch-dark a snappy comebacks, is the most fun. The car is like a pot, divided into several small regions, each with its own chat topic. Everybody wants to own words clearly to the ears of others, you have to raise the volume in noisily inside, all efforts on improving the volume, the results to hear who it is very difficult, the car humming deafening, Ji inside with outside the car...... Suddenly, the car is quiet, quiet like a no one!

Deafen the ear with its roar is the sound of cars from its, roaring, up flow out...... The big car head down as general aircraft dive down the mountain race. The carriage violently rocking seat, exhausted, I feel my body is left feeling, the heart is a death like stillness. The car no one to speak out, not because of fear, the fear is too late, too late to tension, the brain like short lost thinking. The big car suddenly make a crash more violent, and then is the peal after peal squashing, I felt really turned into a round thing, in the rock which are thrown, was beaten, finally calm down...... And the car has no, Yamano Chikata dead!

Every time, maybe just a few seconds, breaking the silence first sound is the driver's son, he first cry, then call him dad. I also know that he is still alive, head and limbs are, no pain, no matter the. But his hands are still clinging to the back of the seat in front, I don't remember is the completion of such a cuddle self-help action at what time? I remember just the time of the accident the feelings, or a blank space, are looking for what does not feel. So many film and television works in the show when the accident happened to let people shout and wrangle, cry a, is not true, that creative people have not experienced a car accident. I recovered after thinking that the first sentence is called Shi Tiesheng: iron, how about you? I Buddha of compassion, do not let him to one disaster after another. He answered, and said: I'm fine. Sitting in the car door step down one, do not know what is thrown down from the chair.

Traffic accidents make people feel everyone's life is no longer individual, death is no longer individual. At this time inside the ring, your parenting is good, although some people with blood all over his face, the partial to "Falun reversal" and talk about Buddhist nun the most impudent girl, forehead bumped to open a big hole; Guangdong critic Xie Wangxin chest a blood red, pale; someone is still in a coma, I do not know is alive or dead...... But no one screamed curses, hum cry. Movable slowly straightened up, this to see just what had happened: the bus overturned on the left side of the ravine, but the ravine is not deep, but the car is scrapped, inside and outside the car into a pile of rotten iron. Iron and steel manufacturing car broke into a pile of rubbish, those of us in the car body was composed of carbohydrates most intact, it can not be said to be a miracle.

-- here is the Mount Wutai!

No wounded or injured younger people to help those who can't move people out of the overturned car, stand to the side of the road waiting for rescue. Someone found, just in the mountains was drilling "the critic Bulmo hole", no injuries elsewhere but hit the mouth, swollen, all of a sudden people associate the pig snout, very funny, but no one laughed out, my hair bone terrified! Because people remember him in "Bulmo hole" in the remarks about the pig blasphemy...... After many wrote this Mount Wutai crash have avoided this detail, I think I do not know how to express. In fact, his mouth swollen not with Buddha what relationship, Fobo profound compassion, tolerance, even if I heard his blasphemy will not narrow to immediately retaliate against him. The car bumped mouth is not surprising, but the mouth a swelling on the long, let people easily associate pigs. The Chinese people wake up, start to confess, they realized that many words before it is inappropriate. You can not believe, do not worship Buddha, but only to Foshan, should have respect for buddha. If you drop one home, not deliberately aggressive insulting master? A crowd began to gather together to the scene of the accident, they first see the broken car, asked the first sentence is: still alive? In fact, we are on the side of the road to stand, just fell faint or shock faints had regained consciousness, death is not a. Although some people wounded red, but not really also hard to say. I do not know the onlookers often is what kind of mentality, it is "see fight too frame played small, watching the fire burned the too small, see the accident too dead people?"

Some people see such a big car accident was not dead, touch view Shengzhi started the other emotion: last year, more than 30 million households in Beijing (at that time in the eyes of the people million households is millionaire), collective to visit Mount Wutai, in another hill also had a car accident, all dead, did not leave a living. It seems Mount Wutai like punishment in vanity fair! Fujian is an old editor took cavity: people in the field of fame and fortune and how to offend the Mount Wutai? Today such a big accident no one died, the Mount Wutai on the literati or extra care...... In fact, it may be just the laity idea, in the Buddha eyes equality, divided what fame level? If there is a vanity fair in the world, the non vanity fair and what are they? The modern people live in the competition of market economy, it should be punished?

And anyway, "the Yellow River pen" is difficult to continue. Pen organizers please emergency medical personnel on the hill made the emergency treatment for trauma of people, but can not do a thorough examination. So we replaced the bus travel company new, went straight to the datong. No way, to Datong, to arrange the first people's Hospital of Datong is best for everyone to do a detailed inspection. Feel alarmed as to the chairman of Shanxi Writers Association Jiao Zuyao found me, saying that they told Datong is responsible for the reception of the Department of protocol, in the pen writer to Datong literature lovers and part of cadres. Although now because of the traffic accident will not do it, but we still went to Datong, Datong and give trouble more, lecture cannot cancel, somebody has to notice it, just this afternoon. The original Liu Xinwu and I together hold half a day, now Liu Xinwu pain not, let me alone. I can't refuse, and only last summer I also organized a large-scale "forest pen", in separate activities a jeep overturned, broke one of my very dear writer calf, so that Jiao Zuyao at heart. In the words of Tang Dacheng to write a good word, to participate in the pen the way to write or a lecture, is to change your own ticket, in any case can not dodge. Now say the people also have the interest to your word, want to tell you something interesting or boring, this is your life, how can you not to know good from bad?

Jiao Zuyao let me first to check on the body, and then came to power. I was not hurt, don't want to check. He said to remove suspicion in any case, if you go back to Tianjin found to have problems, how to take us up? This guy is afraid of my life depends on him, as he went to see the doctor, arms and legs, and a head was not injured, only the bones and internal organs are a lot of perspective and photo, and then on the stage. In the evening I returned home at the end of the class, all the participants in the pen were a strange sympathy seemed like puzzled eyes staring at me, that all people checked the viscera and bones are not things, people flow was only a flesh wound, suture stitches. It solved the problem. I am alone, "the right ninth rib slight fracture!"

Ah, took the book from diagnosis of the moment, I was on the right side of the rib really hurts a little. Pen organizers have we bought the train ticket back to Beijing that night, the second day morning nine am, a car would have prepared the car in Beijing station, and I pulled into Tianjin run. Tianjin circle of friends has been a sensation, this happens to everyone likes to play to the imagination, the Mount Wutai on the car accident can small got? That is the ribs broken, that is afraid of family...... Nearly noon I went back to Tianjin, assist comrades would not let me go home go to the best hospital department of orthopedics, a photograph: "no fracture."

Ha, this is interesting! After the two day, I ran four hospitals, two is fracture, two said no fracture, is half and half. It was very strange, there is no reason...... Perhaps this is a warning, want to tell me what? The world can speak the truth is limited, narrow. But can't tell the truth, it is the largest and most wide. There is no reason is the biggest reason. I'm not talking about the accident and closed, not the same as the story over and over again, even adding the trimmings account of the accident experience, and get some strange pleasure from the narrative, or release. But I will always remember the accident, the accident occurred just after feel very close to death, life is very fragile, the disaster will not feel when you suddenly come, this tone throat said to be broken! As people health the accident as a thrilling and exciting experience, will feel that people from the dead so far, out of so big accidents are no one died, visible death is not an easy thing. Moreover, "escape from death in a great catastrophe, the spoils"! I decided not to go to the hospital to consult an expert.

His name is Hu Kequan, is the Guizhou provincial water resources department director of small hydropower. During the "Cultural Revolution" was denounced by not to live, to hide in the mountains of Guizhou as a "savage", "dragon" -- get good out of misfortune that later developed into abnormal wonderful tourism landscape, is four years ago I was watching "the dragon" understanding of his time. When it was evening, "dragon" has been closed, but I also reluctant to leave, around the "dragon" around, he saw a man sitting in the "long dragon" on the north side of air recoil, Qing mu, wind Kam Lang pull, could not help but to speak. He talk of everything under the sun, erudite, immediately to Shensi financial net, and suddenly. Then we became friends, I was more regarded him as a wise man, if could not make things to discuss with him. He said: your ribs is not broken, don't believe will go downstairs to run ten laps, not a rib fracture were able to run. This is just the Mount Wutai made a joke on you, or want to remind you. You fight with tall, airs, want to see the Buddha mountain but was irreverent, see young people arrogant, speech and frivolous, but not dissuade from. Mount Wutai does not matter, but the Mount Wutai all over the mountains and plains are pilgrims, but you guys make a show of myself, the opposite, how can not hurt? The Buddha is not blame everyone self blame, are you guys mind at work, should beware of your heart!

I put the phone down, really around their house ten laps, just start to feel right rib somewhat uncomfortable, I had a fever, fully and delightfully. I don't care "ninth rib", it did not give me any trouble. But I can't forget that accident, car accident unfortunately, no one died in a car accident or injury, it is a mercy. Misfortune is a great teacher, good fortune is the great teacher, and intersecting, life and death. Liu Yuxi said: "Woe to the crime will be reduced, the blessing of good to." I could look at the mountain or into the temple, must be prepared ahead of time, must have been really want to see and really want to enter, first in the heart of respect, not to say more. To hold the heart is to keep the mouth, especially on their own do not understand, no judgment.

Change is hard, but the accident lesson is not the same in general, people could hardly do not be life and death fate tired heart. Gradually I feel you really become steady, the mood is more and more calm, sometimes feel live a relaxed and soothing. The heart of a peaceful Lian Lu Shun, the annual total also out several times, continue to rush about, but never be too dangerous.

So, I thank the Mount Wutai, thanks to the accident!
