Young man became a public security officer in pursuit of his dream
In 1951, in pursuit of his "utopia" ideal, 16-year-old Ni Kuang dropped out of school and applied for the "East China People's Revolutionary University". After three months of training, he became a "public security officer".
From 1952 to 1953, he participated in the "land reform" in southern Jiangsu to fight against landlords and catch "counter-revolutionaries". When the landlord was sentenced to death, the leader asked Ni Kuang to write a notice for public display. Ni Kuang asked the reason for the death penalty, and the leader told him to write "landlord". "I said that landlords do not constitute a reason for the death penalty. The leader said: 'Just write it if you are asked to, why are you so long-winded!'"
Ni Kuang also participated in the "Shuanggou River Diversion Project" in northern Jiangsu, reclaimed saline-alkali land, and established a labor reform farm (now Jiangsu Hongze Lake Prison).
In 1955, Ni Kuang signed up to go to the Chuol River in Zhalai Banner, Hulunbuir League, Inner Mongolia, and volunteered to open a labor reform farm, namely the Fourth Labor Reform Management Brigade of Inner Mongolia (now Inner Mongolia Baoanzhao Prison). He was responsible for managing the prisoners in the Baoanzhao Labor Reform Farm.

Ni Kuang : If you don't escape to Hong Kong, you will lose the chance to live
During this period, the wolfhound raised by Ni Kuang bit the secretary of the inspection brigade, so he became the target of criticism many times. Ni Kuang had to review and admit that he had "potential counter-revolutionary thoughts".
Ni Kuang said that in the winter of 1956, due to heavy wind and snow, coal trucks could not deliver coal. "It was freezing cold, and many people froze to death. I dismantled a rickety wooden bridge for firewood. I thought the river had frozen to the bottom, and it would take at least until June to thaw, so I would cut some trees and put it back together. I thought I was saving my comrades' lives, but I was accused of 'disrupting traffic', which is an active counter-revolutionary, a serious crime." Later, the farm set up a working group to thoroughly investigate his "counter-revolutionary" background. "I was locked up in a small house with no people around. The door was also drafty, and there was only a kang inside. Every night, wolves surrounded the small house and howled. The wolf howling was really terrible...."
Ni Kuang could not bear the daily ideological reports and meetings, and heard that he was sentenced to ten years in prison for two crimes, so he followed his friends' advice and fled to the north on horseback at night in late 1956. He originally wanted to escape to Outer Mongolia for refuge.
He rode a horse but mistakenly ran to the train station, so he took a train to the south to Dalian, and then took a boat to Shanghai. At that time, his relatives and friends in Shanghai did not dare to take him in for too long, so he looked for an opportunity to sneak into Hong Kong. Later, he and a dozen people were stuffed into the secret cabin under the ship carrying vegetables to sneak across. At that time, everyone was crowded in a very narrow space. When they reached the high seas and there was no patrol, they could go on the deck to rest.
On a rainy day in July 1957, Ni Kuang spent 150 yuan and finally succeeded in sneaking into Hong Kong. After landing, he was taken to the government agency to apply for an ID card, fill out forms and take photos, and became a Hong Kong citizen under British jurisdiction. At that time, Ni Kuang was 22 years old.
Many years later, Ni Kuang said: "If I had not come to Hong Kong from the mainland, I would not have had the opportunity to write, nor would I have had the opportunity to continue living. I would definitely not have survived the Anti-Rightist Movement, nor the Cultural Revolution. Fortunately, I came to Hong Kong..."
Devoted himself to the literary world and became one of the four great talents in Hong Kong
When he first arrived in Hong Kong, Ni Kuang had no education and could not speak Cantonese, so he could only do manual labor and all kinds of odd jobs, but he was very happy because he could eat barbecued pork rice and be free.
After three months of hard labor, Ni Kuang devoted himself to the literary world and published his first novel "Buried Alive" in October, which tells the story of a landlord's wife being buried alive while holding her grandson during the land reform. There are words such as "When the soil was buried over her chest, the grandmother patted her grandson and said, it will be fine in a while, it won't be boring anymore", which makes people feel very depressed when reading it.
This novel written in an afternoon actually earned 90 yuan in royalties, which is higher than his monthly salary! And it received rave reviews. From then on, Ni Kuang devoted himself to writing and never had his manuscripts rejected. Later, Ni Kuang's remuneration reached a sky-high price that no one could match.
Ni Kuang's diligence is also unmatched. He has amazing creativity and claims to be the person who writes the most and fastest Chinese characters in the world. For several years, he wrote 20,000 words a day, and could write a script in three or four days. At the same time, he could write seven or eight serial novels. He provided manuscripts for 12 newspapers and never delayed the manuscripts. He was known as "the world's fastest hand".
This "public security officer" who escaped from the mainland was self-taught and was as imaginative as a sky in Hong Kong. He used to be a gunman for Gu Long, wrote the serial "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" for Jin Yong while he was abroad, and created a large number of works such as "Wesley Series Novels".
Ni Kuang wrote four or five hundred scripts and made three hundred movies. He participated in the screenwriting of the Hong Kong Golden Harvest Kung Fu film "Fist of Fury". The classic image of "Chen Zhen" was created by him for Bruce Lee.
Ni Kuang has many labels: one of the four great talents in Hong Kong, the originator of Chinese science fiction, a martial arts writer, a filmmaker who won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Academy Awards, etc. Jin Yong once praised Ni Kuang, saying: "The infinite universe, endless time and space, infinite possibilities, and the eternal contradiction between the impermanence of life are woven from this head."

Patriotism must be anti-communist, and anti-communism is patriotism
When Ni Kuang left the mainland for 50 years, Asia Weekly planned a trip for him to return to the mainland, but Ni Kuang chose to refuse. He said that he had defected from the public security and smuggled into Hong Kong, and he would be caught by the Communist Party if he returned. This also reflects Ni Kuang's resolute attitude towards the Communist Party. When his good friends returned to the mainland, Ni Kuang often scolded them: "They have no integrity of intellectuals, no character..."
In 1992, Ni Kuang moved to San Francisco, USA. At that time, he was worried that the CCP would take over Hong Kong after 1997. He said: "I will never live in a place where Chinese are emperors."
Now, because his wife is not used to life in the United States, Ni Kuang and his family have returned to Hong Kong. He ridiculed himself: "I will lose my integrity in my later years! The love between young men and women must be short-lived."
Ni Kuang's anti-communist stance is very firm. He believes that the CCP has completely violated the historical civilization of mankind. "The most terrible thing about the Communist Party is that it wants to brainwash and control others. 's thoughts and will, people in the Communist Party's system will only become completely obedient machines. "
Ni Kuang, who experienced the land reform, pointed out that many people still have illusions about the deceased leaders of the Communist Party: "No member of the Communist Party is innocent." Whenever he heard people say that the Communist Party has made progress, he said: "People asked the cannibal tribe leader how it is now? He said we have made progress and eat human flesh with dinner knives. The so-called progress of the Communist Party now is to eat human flesh with dinner knives."
In his early novel "The Secret Code of Reincarnation", Ni Kuang wrote that under totalitarianism, fake "living Buddhas" appeared in Tibet, which really came true in the mainland in the 1990s.
In Ni Kuang's novel "Chasing the Dragon" 30 years ago, he "predicted" that a big city in the East would be destroyed, "Just a few people's rebellious and ignorant decisions can cause a big city to be completely destroyed." The reason is not a natural disaster, but because of the loss of its advantages. Later, Ni Kuang mentioned that this city is Hong Kong. He said that the advantage that Hong Kong has lost is "freedom", "mainly freedom of speech, freedom of speech is the mother of all freedoms, without freedom of speech there will be no other freedoms."
As for the so-called "one country, two systems", Ni Kuang has long known that it is a scam, "I don't believe in the one country, two systems thing at all", "The Communist Party has the final say, what is the one country, two systems? The one country, two systems is what the Communist Party said, when can the Communist Party's words be trusted? For decades, not a single word has been realized."
Ni Kuang believes that he is patriotic, "to the extreme!" He once wrote two slogans: Patriotism must be anti-communist, and anti-communism is patriotism.
In 2014, Ni Kuang supported the "Occupy Central" incident in Hong Kong. Speaking of the anti-extradition movement from June this year to now, Ni Kuang sincerely admired it, "(More than) 1 million people took to the streets, this is a world miracle, since the beginning of human history, there has never been so many people marching to oppose one thing." He criticized the Hong Kong police for only daring to be "brave" against demonstrators and having become a tool of totalitarianism.
Ni Kuang said that he fled to Hong Kong to escape the Communist Party. Compared with his younger self, he admires today's young people more: "I escaped, but today's young people did not choose to escape, but chose to resist. I admire them very much... The greater the suppression, the greater the resistance." He said that he would always stand on the side of young people. "From my personal standpoint, no matter what the situation, I stand on the side of young people."

Ni Kuang has a new understanding of life after believing in God
It is said that Ni Kuang has seen aliens in Northeast China, and has also experienced "fox immortals appearing", and has encountered ghosts at least twice. There are many stories of reincarnation and karma in his works. Ni Kuang believes that people have souls after death, and that different creatures can change their body structures through so-called practice, and they will become adults or immortals.
Ni Kuang believes in the existence of aliens: "Everything we see is determined by the visual nerves of the brain. The brain has limitations, so what we see is not true. Science is also man-made, so no matter how scientists refute rumors, there must be aliens in the universe."
Ni Kuang, who gained fame and fortune in Hong Kong, had a ridiculous life and got into the habit of smoking and drinking. He was once confused and painful, and even thought about jumping off a building to commit suicide, "because I really don't know what life is for? I only know that I am unhappy, and there is no meaning in life to continue living..."
In 1986, Ni Kuang was baptized as a Christian because he cured his alcohol addiction after praying with a pastor. After believing in God, Ni Kuang has a new understanding of life. He lamented that he had been claiming to be a chivalrous man all his life, but neglected the people he loved. He said, "I haven't done anything wrong, but I haven't been good enough to my wife."
Ni Kuang's wife had already suffered from dementia at that time. Before his wife became ill, she had been taking care of Ni Kuang's daily life. Now Ni Kuang takes care of his wife. "We have a good relationship. Although I have done many bad things, she has never said a harsh word to me in all these years."
Ni Kuang's wife cannot leave Ni Kuang, and Ni Kuang also hopes to spend more time with his wife, so Ni Kuang rarely attends public occasions in recent years.
