五一節(jié)前后，北京高大的馬纓花樹散發(fā)出陣陣幽香，記者在一個風和日麗的上午，首次訪問了著名畫家裘沙先生和王偉君女士。裘沙和他的大兒子裘小魯整天伏在電腦前繪畫八年，終于編成了他們用心血凝結的著作《世界之魯迅畫傳》。有關專家稱，這是一部記敘魯迅最為詳盡的作品，使“魯迅之世界”走向了“世界之魯迅”，其學術價值是無法衡量的。今年元旦，《文化交流》又收到了他們?yōu)榧o念魯迅“取今復古，別立新宗100周年”而制作的新年賀卡。

34年前，歷盡坎坷的裘沙及其夫人王偉君女士，決心把自己的后半生奉獻給弘揚與傳播魯迅的事業(yè)。從創(chuàng)作《又為斯民哭健兒》到現(xiàn)在，他們從夫妻倆到第二代、第三代全家都投入了這一事業(yè)，他們收集了大量有關魯迅的圖片，創(chuàng)作了將近2000幅關于魯迅的繪畫作品，先后舉辦25次紀念魯迅的個人畫展，在國內外引起強烈反響。樓適夷說《阿Q正傳二百圖》“真正畫出了魯迅筆下的阿Q”，夫婦倆合作的畫集，由人民美術出版社、香港中文大學出版社、日本巖波書店、法國LELIVER DE POCHE等出版社分別用中、日、法、英四種文字出版。經過這34年的拼搏，至今，他們創(chuàng)作的《魯迅之世界畫集》包含了《魯迅全集》每一篇文章的作品之圖。

喜為“魯迅狂”

曾有人稱裘沙為“魯迅狂”，記者問裘沙對此怎么看?他坦率地回答說：“有人這樣說過我，我自己沒有這樣說，但這也是事實。”他在中學一年級就崇拜魯迅，1946年開始正式學畫不久，就設法找到魯迅病中編輯、出版的德國版畫家《凱綏·珂勒惠支版畫集》。1948年他在全國木刻協(xié)會學習木刻，為函授班第二期學員，1949年9月進杭州國立藝術?？茖W校（現(xiàn)為中國美術學院）學習，1951年3月提前畢業(yè)后到中國青年報社任美術編輯、記者、美術組組長等職。在團中央第一書記胡耀邦領導下，成為我國新聞戰(zhàn)線一名活躍的畫家。王偉君解放前也在杭州國立藝專西湖藝術研究所學習，專攻油畫，1949年5月參加中國人民解放軍，1951年參加中國人民志愿軍赴朝鮮前線，1953年回國深造，1956年調共青團中央工作。在藝術上，她也是一位珂勒惠支的崇拜者，1957年他們因藝術志趣相同而結婚。1972年，夫婦倆又在逆境中感悟到魯迅思想的真諦，于是，他們不計個人得失成敗，全身心地投入了傳播魯迅的事業(yè)。他們1981年在北京舉辦了第一次紀念魯迅的個人畫展，1986年應邀訪日并于東京、仙臺舉辦畫展，美國、意大利、韓國、英國、挪威、法國、秘魯?shù)葒鴮W者、記者的相繼來訪，進一步促使他們感悟到魯迅思想的世界意義，于是他們又進一步從世界大視野中對“魯迅主義”的全面深入探索。

第一次畫魯迅

談到第一次畫魯迅的感覺，裘沙說，我第一次畫魯迅，是在1956年。這年全國紀念魯迅逝世20周年，活動很多，北京魯迅博物館也是這一年落成的。中國青年報文藝部的同志叫我為文藝副刊畫一幅魯迅和郭沫若站在一起的素描，中國少年報的美編也叫我給周建人先生的女兒周曄所寫的回憶文章配兩幅插圖。我記不清其中哪一幅是我畫魯迅的第一幅作品了，魯迅是中國文化革命的主將，能為魯迅先生的紀念活動獻上一幅小畫，心里很高興。第二年，王偉君還專程到紹興魯迅故居去住了幾天，畫了一批很有價值的油畫速寫。裘沙說：“等到1972年，經歷了‘文革’的空前浩劫、感悟到魯迅思想的真諦之后，我們在劫難中拿起畫筆為魯迅造像，心情就更不同了：我們心中充滿了為魯迅事業(yè)而獻身的激情！這就是我后來自稱‘阿難’的那種心情?！?/p>

他理解的“魯迅新宗”

2006年是魯迅先生逝世70周年，所有熱愛魯迅的人們都以自己獨特的方式紀念我們的“民族魂”。而裘沙做的，則是深刻探究魯迅思想的真諦。他經過30余年的探索，認為魯迅先生在1907年于《文化偏至論》中所宣告的“取今復古，別立新宗”的“新宗”便是魯迅思想的精髓。從“魯迅之世界”到“世界之魯迅”，他們創(chuàng)作的主題向跨越時空的“魯迅主義”進發(fā)，讓為魯迅先生所提出的建立“人國”的理想，便是中國古代思想家所提出的“立人”思想。魯迅先生的“世界之思潮”，是指“人的解放”大潮。正如魯迅先生在《文化偏至論》一文所說：“是故將生存兩間，角逐列國是務，其首在立人，人立而凡事舉；若其道術，乃必尊個性而張精神。假不如是，槁喪且不俟夫一世。”魯迅先生從世界形勢中希望能建立的“人國”，便是這樣一個既互相尊重各自的個性，又共同張揚崇高精神的、充滿“誠和愛”的和諧社會?？梢哉f，這是魯迅先生一生事業(yè)的思想綱領。過去大家認為，這只是一個無法實現(xiàn)的烏托邦，但它與今天中央提出的建立和諧社會是相吻合的。

力主建“世界之魯迅”美術館

裘沙與夫人王偉君為探索、弘揚與傳播魯迅新宗，幾十年如一日地拼搏，付出的代價實在太大了！他們因此而被視為“狂人”也是順理成章的事。魯迅先生自己早就說過：“人生得一知己足矣，斯世當以同懷視之?！彼麄兎驄D倆志同道合，殫精竭慮，可以說把自己的一生都貢獻給了繪畫與詮釋魯迅的事業(yè)。為此，上海魯迅紀念館在朝華文庫中設立了“裘沙、王偉君專庫”。

現(xiàn)在，他們已經完成了“魯迅之世界”到“世界之魯迅”這兩大系列，并詳細詮釋了《文化偏至論》等五篇魯迅用文言寫成的重要論文，以后他們還要做些什么呢？裘沙說：最后還想完成的一個任務，那就是希望有一大間普通的房子，能像敦煌莫高窟的某一窟那樣，或者像羅馬梵蒂岡西斯廷禮拜堂那樣，或者像曲阜大成殿最后一殿那樣，建起一座“世界之魯迅”的美術館，在四壁畫上一套能極其精煉地展示出這位“新中國圣人”世界意義的壁畫，以供國內外熱愛人類進步事業(yè)的人們瞻仰。

Lifelong Craze for Lu Xun

By Qian Rouyi

I visited eminent painter Qiu Sha and his wife Wang Weijun one breezy and sunny morning in May， 2006. Qiu Sha and his eldest son Qiu Xiaolu had spent eight years painting A Pictorial Biography of the International Lu Xun. Some experts believe that the biography， by far the most complete and detailed work on the Chinese literary master of the 20th century， has turned Lu Xun’s world into the world’s Lu Xun. The Cultural Dialogue received a New Year card from the couple the other day. It was made in memory of Lu Xun’s significant role in a century when China waved farewell to the past and welcomed a new era.

The pictorial biography is not an outcome of impulse or whim of Qiu Sha and his wife. As early as 34 years ago， they were determined to devote their shared life to the crusade of promoting and disseminating Lu Xun back. Over the decades since then， the couple and their children and grandchildren have thrown themselves to the cause. So far， they have collected a great deal of photographs of Lu Xun and created nearly 2，000 paintings of Lu Xun. They have successfully staged 25 painting exhibitions on the great thinker and literary master. The husband and wife’s joint painting collections have been published at home and abroad in Chinese， Japanese， French and English. The latest biography has paintings for each of the articles in the Complete Works of Lu Xun.

Qiu Sha admired Lu Xun when he was in the first year of middle school. Shortly after he began learning fine art in 1946， he managed to acquire A Collection of Prints by Kathe Kollwitz edited and published by Lu Xun. In 1948， he studied woodcut at the National Woodcut Association. In 1949， he studied at the National Fine Arts School (today’s China Academy of Arts based in Hangzhou) and graduated in March， 1951 and worked for China Youth Daily. Wang Weijun was in the Korean War as an artist. She was an admirer of Kathe Kollwitz long before she met Qiu Sha. The likemindedness brought them together and the two married in 1957.

It was in 1972 during the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) that the couple got to understand the truth of Lu Xun’s ideas about China and decided to do everything possible to promote Lu Xun in the way they knew as artists. Their first exhibition in memory of Lu Xun was held in Beijing in 1981. In 1986， they were invited to hold their exhibitions in Tokyo and Sendai of Japan， where Lu Xun once studied and lived. Noticing their unique dedication to Lu Xun， the international media have covered the couple extensively， which， in turn， has made the couple more aware of the international importance of Lu Xun’s thinking. They have explored in depth the significance of what they call the Lu-Xun-ism from an international perspective.

Qiu Sha remembers clearly his first effort to paint Lu Xun in 1956 when the country memorialized the 20th anniversary of the master’s demise. The Lu Xun Museum in Beijing was built that year and many memorial activities were held in the same year.Qiu drew a few illustrations to go with an essayfor the literary supplement of China Youth Daily. In 1957， Wang Weijun stayed for a few days at Lu Xun’s former residence in Shaoxing， Zhejiang Province and created a few oil paintings there. By 1972 they had experienced the brunt of the brutal chaos unleashed by the Cultural Revolution， which turned their admiration for Lu Xun to an understanding of the value of the master for the country. Since then they have painted Lu Xun with a different emotion.

The year 2006 marked the 70th anniversary of the master’s demise， people across the country commemorated the great writer in various ways and Qiu Sha explored the essence of Lu Xun’s thought. Qiu Sha believes that the essence of Lu Xun’s thought can be attributed to a new ideology for the country the master mentioned in a literary critique in 1917.

Qiu Sha and his wife Wang Weijun are known to some people as the crazy couple. For decades of their individual campaign， they have paid a dear price. Today， their understanding of Lu Xun and their craze for the great writer have become more accessible to more people. The Shanghai Lu Xun Museum has assigned a specific space to the couple’s works in its library.

By now， they have completed their dream series about Lu Xun’s world and the world’s Lu Xun and annotated Lu Xun’s early five essays in the classical style of writing， which they believe embody the essence of Lu Xun’s thought. Their last dream is to have a large space， like a grotto in the Mogao Grottos in Gansu Province， where they can paint frescos on the four walls to illustrate the significance of the “Saint of New China”for people to admire.
