On this day, 39 years ago, on April 1, 1986 (February 23, 1986, the lunar calendar), writer Wang Meng will take office as Minister of Culture. On the evening of April 1, 1986, a reporter from the China News Service specially went to Wang Meng's home to visit the famous writer who would serve as Minister of Culture. Walking into the door, I found that writers Zhang Xianliang and Feng Jicai had already arrived first. When the reporter asked Wang Meng about his appointment as Minister of Culture, he said that he had to ask those deputies to the National People's Congress. Zhang Xianliang commented that as a writer, he certainly does not want to be a minister, but as a member of the Communist Party of China, there is nothing to say. Wang Meng said with a smile that my daughter, who is in high school, once looked sideways at me and said,"Are you still worthy to be the Minister of Culture?"
