Backtracking to the Age of Literature and Art

Chapter 438 Came with a mission (second update)

It was already past seven o'clock in the evening when Wang Xiaobo arrived.

Because of the long drive and no time to wash, his long hair was stuck together, and his white shirt was crumpled and out of shape.

He also knew that he was covered in sweat, so after meeting, he greeted Yu Dong and the others from a distance, "Let's stop shaking hands and get closer, I'm afraid your noses can't stand it."

In fact, it's not that exaggerated, it's just Wang Xiaobo making fun of himself.

Yu Hua asked him why he had to drive here, and he said he was used to it.

He is tall and doesn't want to squeeze with others. Although driving is tiring, he is comfortable. Moreover, when he was abroad, it was normal for him to drive for more than ten hours every day.

He also said that he wanted to practice his driving skills more, in case he couldn't write in the future, so he drove a truck to make ends meet.

This is also a joke. If he really wanted to make a living, he would naturally not resign from his position in the university. Teaching in a university is easier to make a living than driving a big truck.

But then again, if it wasn’t for Shenkong’s help in publishing novels and publicizing them, I am afraid that he would still be living in poverty today, relying entirely on his wife’s work to support his family.

Deep Space helped publish "Golden Age" again, which made Wang Xiaobo famous in China. Although his books were not as popular as Yu Dong's and the others, they were still sold well. The genuine editions sold over a hundred thousand copies. Piracy is hard to say.

"Golden Age" also caused some controversy. Some people think that his writing is too straightforward, and his book is classified as pornographic books, but compared with "Abandoned City" and other books, it is not the same.

There are relatively few academic studies on Wang Xiaobo, but many young people like his articles very much because they are interesting.

With Wang Xiaobo's character, we may feel awkward living together, but if we just have a drink and talk, it is very comfortable.

Wang Xiaobo spoke in a rambling manner, and from time to time he made an interesting remark, which made everyone laugh.

He also likes to drink, but the drinking is not particularly lively, so he holds the cup and takes a sip every once in a while.

Halfway through the drink, Wang Xiaobo looked at the Wuliangye in the cup, grinned and said, "I've driven here for so long, and I didn't lose anything at all. When I was in Yanjing, I couldn't drink this wine with anyone. The last time Liu Xinwu came to see me, we both found a restaurant and chatted until after eleven o'clock with a bottle of Erguotou."

"You still know Liu Xinwu?" Bi Feiyu asked in surprise.

Liu Xinwu is a senior in the literary world, the founder of scar literature, and was the editor-in-chief of "People's Literature" before. Regardless of age or experience, no matter how you look at it, the two of them don't seem to have an intersection.

Wang Xiaobo grinned again, "I just met last month."

Seeing Wang Xiaobo grinning, Mo Yan smiled. When he first saw Wang Xiaobo, he felt a little ugly. His appearance was really unpleasant, especially when he grinned, showing two rows of big teeth, which was really not elegant.

But the more I see it, the more cute I feel.

It didn't mean they asked, Wang Xiaobo took the initiative to explain that Liu Xinwu had seen Wang Xiaobo's "Golden Age" in a bookstore and thought it was really well written, so he asked for Wang Xiaobo's contact information, and finally let him find it.

Mo Yan nodded and said, "It's really well written."

"I also think it's good." Wang Xiaobo himself said, "If I don't think it's good, I won't write it. So once I write it, even if others think it's bad, I should think it's good. However, sometimes Feel bad too, always inevitable.”

This may sound contradictory, but it is very interesting, probably people are so contradictory.

In fact, Wang Xiaobo should have a movie to be released this year. It is "East Palace and West Palace" co-written by him and Zhang Yuan, but it is about homosexuality, the subject matter is sensitive, and it has not been released in China.

He complained about it, but didn't fully express it.

After another drink, Yu Dong suddenly asked, "Why did you come to Jinling this time?"

Yu Dong has already asked Wang Xiaobo this question three times, and each time Wang Xiaobo replied: Just come and see.

But no matter how you look at it, he is not as simple as just looking at it.

At this moment, Wang Xiaobo was drinking a little too much, so he stopped answering "just to see", but started to talk about his real intention for this trip, "Actually, I came this time with a mission."

"What mission?" Bi Feiyu asked curiously, and several other people also raised their heads.

When they raised their heads, Wang Xiaobo couldn't help shrinking back, "It doesn't have much to do with you. I have a nephew named Yao Yong. He is a senior student at Tsinghua University. He is in the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. He likes to make music every day. Keep your hair long..."

Perhaps thinking that his hair is not short, Wang Xiaobo made a gesture with his hands: "It is longer than mine, parted in the middle, and you can't tell that you are a male student from behind."

"This kid takes classes during the day and plays the guitar at night, so he's too busy to sleep."

Hearing this, Yu Hua smiled and said, "That's not bad, at least I don't sleep during the day and play the guitar at night."

"That's even worse. He also formed a band called Bubble. His parents thought it was unreliable and thought what he did was Bubble, but they were abroad and couldn't persuade them. They could only order me."

Speaking of this, Yu Dong and the others still didn't understand.

"Didn't he study at Tsinghua? You just go to Tsinghua to persuade him. Could it be that when did Tsinghua move to Jinling?"

"Listen to me. Originally, I was going to Tsinghua University to look for him, but I couldn't find anyone after searching around. After asking, I found out that he went to Jinling to meet netizens."

"Netizen?"

"Well, a netizen said that he usually likes to play bbs. At first he played Mizuki bbs, but later he found it unsatisfactory, so he went to play the deep space forum. He met a music confidant who is from Jinling, so he rushed over."

Mo Yan said with a smile: "Going around, it's still related to deep space."

Yu Dong asked, "Do you know where that netizen of his lives?"

"Ask clearly, it's from your school."

"Our school?" Yu Dong was a little surprised, "What a coincidence? Then why didn't you tell me, tell me, so I can help you."

"The ugliness of the family must not be publicized."

"You still care about this?" Yu Dong was even more surprised.

"I don't care, I'm afraid my nephew does, young man, save face, if you all know about his meeting with netizens, you will be embarrassed."

"Then what are you going to do about this? Find him and take him back?"

Wang Xiaobo shook his head, "He is an adult, can I take him back? Besides, the law doesn't allow it."

"Then what are you going to do?"

Wang Xiaobo thought for a while and said, "Of course it is. Know it with reason and move it with emotion."

"Oh." Yu Dong nodded, and concluded for Wang Xiaobo: "It's just to brainwash him."
