1980 My literary era

In the audience, the name "Lin Weimin" was heard loudly.

But Wei Junyi did not mention his name. He appeared as an editor today and could not steal the limelight from the writers.

Next up was Lu Yao, who was talking about the birth of his masterpiece "Life".

He talked about the first time he went to Yanjing to revise the manuscript, about the long all-night conversation with Lin Weimin and Gu Hua in the back building of the Chinese Literature Society, about Lin Weimin's encouragement to write this novel, and about Lin Weimin's decision to write the novel because he was worried about his health. I specially went to the Ganquan County Guest House to visit him...

All extraordinary births seem to have an extraordinary beginning.

When everyone heard that Lu Yao said that he was taken by Lin Weimin from the Ganquan County Guest House to the guest house in the back building of the Chinese Literature Society and locked in a small dark room, the whole room burst into laughter again.

This kind of anecdotes between literati and poets has always been a topic that ordinary people and literature lovers talk about.

Lin Weimin in the audience felt that Lu Yao should talk about his visit to Baiyun Temple on stage.

Let this guy accept the criticism of the people.

When it came time to raise hands and ask questions, many people asked about the film adaptation of "Life".

Since last year, many newspapers have broken the news, and readers are full of expectations for it. Lu Yao replied that the movie is expected to be released at the end of this year, which made the auditorium burst into applause again.

This applause is dedicated to the movie "Life". In the 1980s, movies were also an indispensable form of entertainment for people.

After Lu Yao stepped down, Wei Junyi called out the name "Shi Tiesheng" amidst everyone's shouts.

Shi Tiesheng was a little embarrassed, but he still came to the stage under Lin Weimin's persuasion.

The audience in the audience did not realize that the handsome young man who pushed Shi Tiesheng onto the stage was the "Lin Weimin" they had just shouted the most.

Shi Tiesheng appeared in front of the public in a wheelchair. After he came on stage, the audience seemed to enter a state of compassion.

Although "My Distant Qingping Bay" is a short story, its influence is very large. Many domestic literature lovers know that in Yanjing, the capital of the motherland, there is a writer named Shi Tiesheng who has disabled his legs.

Shi Tiesheng was silent on the stage for a moment, and then said easily: "Everyone seems to be very touched and pity that a disabled person can be on a stage like today."

"Actually, it's not necessary."

“In the first few years after I got sick, I often wanted to rush towards others with explosives and die with them because of the strange looks they gave me or the unpleasant words they said to me.

Now if something like this happens again, I may respond to them with pity or disdain.

I have analyzed myself many times. Is this change of mine due to necessity, or am I really above the world?

In fact, I can’t tell myself clearly, but my friends all say that I have become more free-spirited and tolerant.

So, no matter what, this change is a good thing anyway. Among the friends around me, I gradually have a tendency to become a 'saint'. "

When Shi Tiesheng said this, he laughed first, and then the audience below also laughed.

They felt the open-mindedness, calmness and optimism of the writer on stage.

"Later, after "My Distant Qingping Bay" was published in "Contemporary" and became popular, the situation became more and more exaggerated.

People come to me and ask me what I think about love, whether I should break up with my girlfriend, and whether that man is a good marriage partner. They ask me what the meaning of life is, and how I should choose between ideals and reality.

What a pity!

They don’t know that two years ago, I was just a poor boy rolling a wheelchair in the streets of Yanjing for welfare subsidies for the disabled.

It seems that after I became disabled and wrote a book, my spiritual character suddenly improved.

I have never revealed it, and many friends may not know it. In fact, I am not comfortable with this kind of relationship.

What I prefer can be described as a 'husband and dog friend' or a 'fair-weather friend' type of relationship.

Just like serving the people..."

Shi Tiesheng glanced at the audience, then continued with a smile: "Weimin treats me as the most special one among friends."

"His main job is editing, so every time he comes to my house, if it is to discuss literary creation or manuscript issues, he will discuss it with me meticulously from the professional perspective of an editor, and he has also brushed off my manuscripts. More than once.

But when he gets along with me as my friend, the topics we talk about may be women, football, hotpot mutton, or his insane and enviable royalties.

Cheesy topics can bring people closer together, and metaphysical discussions are more suitable for an occasion like today.

Sorry, what I talked about today may be a bit tacky!

But I really want to say that it is precisely because of the tacky exchanges and interactions between friends that I gradually became peaceful and open-minded.

Okay, now that I have said this, everyone should probably understand the reason why I am an open-minded and tolerant person.

A word to everyone: make more good friends. "

Shi Tiesheng's speech ended, and thunderous applause broke out from the audience.

Although he doesn't admit it, he has such a magic power that makes many people fall in love with him when they first meet and are willing to open up to him.

The question and answer session was over, and Wei Junyi next clicked on Gu Hua.

In the past two years, "Furong Town" and "Woodhouse Covered with Ivy" have been published one after another. He is also a hot young writer in the domestic literary circle.

After he finished speaking, a questioner asked: "I want to know what Lu Yao said that you, Lin Weimin and Lu Yao slept in the same dormitory that night. Apart from what Lu Yao said, what other things did you talk about? Did the topic spark a lot of inspiration?"

This question aroused the curiosity of many viewers present, and everyone looked at Gu Hua on the stage.

Gu Hua scratched his head with a confused look on his face.

"Actually, if you really ask me to tell you, I really don't remember it!"

There was a burst of laughter.

Three writers who were little-known at the time reunited after a few years and became famous writers. This is an exciting story in itself.

Shouldn’t the past events of that year be vividly remembered?

This contrast made everyone laugh.

Gu Hua reluctantly recalled, and continued: "At that time, Weimin and I were still training and studying at the Literary Research Institute. That day we seemed to have talked about how he wanted to help "Contemporary" make an album to see if he could stay in "Contemporary" 》Work, I said that I envied him for having such an awesome teacher like Mr. Wan. In short, as Comrade Tiesheng said just now, it was very tacky.

Of course, we also talked about literature. It's just that I don't remember. "

When he said this, everyone burst into laughter again.

In people's imagination, when great writers get together to talk about topics that are high and mighty, they should be out of this world.

But when you really understand it, you realize that everyone is the same.

Amid everyone's applause, Gu Hua walked off the podium.

Wei Junyi glanced at the time and saw that it was almost eleven o'clock. He met with the leaders of the Ludong Literary and Art Association and planned to let the leaders of several parties present speak and then end today's exchange meeting.

But at this time, the audience below stopped.

"Lin Weimin!"

"Lin Weimin!"

Many of the viewers who came today are loyal readers of Lin Weimin. What's more, there were so many writers on stage just now, and I don't know if they did it on purpose. Almost everyone mentioned Lin Weimin's name.

The hearts of the audience below were tickled by these writers as if they were being scratched by a hundred cat's paws, making them very itchy.

The crowd below the rostrum was furious. Wei Junyi shook his head. This boy's reputation is really getting bigger and bigger now.

She didn't nominate Lin Weimin to come on stage just because she was afraid that as an editor today, he would steal the limelight from the writers who came to participate in the event. It was about to end anyway, and everyone's demands were so urgent, so she simply named Lin Weimin to come on stage.

Lin Weimin walked to the stage calmly, and many people in the audience immediately recognized it. It turned out that the young man who just pushed the stone to the stage was the famous Lin Weimin.

"Haha, everyone asked me to come up so enthusiastically, and I don't know what to say. I am an editor today, so I won't talk about it at all. Everyone can ask questions at will. I will look at the answers. It's almost time. I Just go down."

Lin Weimin has a handsome face, tall figure, and generous conversation. In just a few dozen seconds, he attracted the hearts of countless lesbians in the audience. Even many gay men couldn't help but feel envious when they saw him.

When the questions started, a young man wearing a blue Lenin suit stood up and asked a very gossipy question.

"Teacher Lin, it is said that your novel has been published in the United States and Nihong, and you have made hundreds of thousands of dollars. I want to ask, is it really that much?"

The fact that Lin Weimin made a lot of money abroad from publishing his novels has long been known in the domestic literary circles, but many people still can't believe that he can make so much money.

Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Lin Weimin to keep his wealth secret. He said very simply: "Hundreds of thousands is a bit exaggerated, but two hundred thousand is still available."

The United States reprinted it twice and Ni Bang reprinted it once. The royalties Lin Weimin received these times have indeed exceeded 200,000 yuan, and he exchanged them into foreign exchange certificates and placed them in the People's Bank of China.

There was a sudden uproar in the audience.

These days, let alone 200,000 yuan, even 200,000 yuan is out of reach for ordinary people.

In later generations, the media often say that people hate the rich, but this hatred of the rich is more about resource inequality, information asymmetry, and lawlessness and discipline.

Every penny of the money Lin Weimin earned was clean.

Not only does no one resent his wealth, but many young people regard him as an idol, and countless parents regard him as a role model for educating their children.

Chinese people are born with the gene of cultural worship.
