Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 370

He Ping appeared again at a hotel near Peking University, and invited Liu Jun, Lin Yanzhi, Cha Haisheng and other students who had contributed to the encirclement and suppression of Qi Dongqiang.

"Thank you for your help during this time. I can't repay you. It's my honor to make young friends like you. I don't say anything, and I'm all in the wine."

"cheers!"

All of you here are young people who love literature and poetry, have a warm heart, and are full of enthusiasm.

"Teacher He, I'm so relieved. The school issued an announcement today that Qi Dongqiang was expelled from our school. Our school finally lost a scumbag."

In addition to Liu Jun, Zha Haisheng and Lin Yanzhi, Luo Yihe and Lao Mu came today.

Luo Yihe was a Beijing University poet who was famous earlier than Liu Jun and Zha Haisheng, and Lao Mu was their mutual friend.

"This time, I really thank you all. If you need my help in the future, please don't treat me as an outsider, and you must come to me."

"Mr. He, you are too polite, we are all friends."

"Yes, we are all friends."

For He Ping, if it wasn't for Qi Dongqiang, he would not have known the group of people in front of him.

Except for Lin Yanzhi, these four students from Peking University will all follow the path of literature in the future, and I can help more or less.

Lin Yanzhi was different. When chatting on weekdays, he revealed a little about his family background, and he was destined to be in politics in the future.

Everyone chatted while eating, and Liu Jun asked He Ping about the novel "Jiahui". He heard that "Jiahui" was taken away by the editor of "People's Literature".

He Ping shook his head, "The creation purpose of "Jia Hui" is different, and the tonality of "People's Literature" is not in line with it. Let them go, anyway, let it go."

Liu Jun enviously said: "When will our works be published in "People's Literature"!"

There is a reason for Liu Jun to say this. In the early 80s, obscurity poems were not welcomed by mainstream literary circles.

In 80, Zhang Ming wrote an article called "The Depressing "Obscurity"", criticizing the new work "Autumn" by Du Yunxie, a poet of the Jiuye School, and later the term "Obscurity Poetry" appeared since then.

Later, Gong Liu lashed out at the representative characters of Misty poetry at that time, both of whom were commentators representing official speeches.

Later, more and more people got involved, and there were three critics who disagreed with the official, one was Xie Mian, the other was Sun Shaozhen, and the third was Xu Jingya.

Xu Jingya, who was still a college student at the time, wrote "Strange Light", which was later processed into "The Rising Poetry Group": "A group of young people rose up first, shaking a series of pillars of poetic theory that we did not dare to doubt in the past." Together with Xie Mian's "Before the New Rise" and Sun Shaozhen's "New Aesthetic Principles Are Rising", this article is regarded as the "three rises" in the history of poetry.

But even with the support of many readers and critics, Misty Poetry is still not recognized by the mainstream literary world.

Especially this year, brother Zhenkai faded out of people's sight, and the development of Misty poetry was not smooth.

Liu Jun and the others, Peking University students with literary dreams in their hearts, don't want to be recognized by the mainstream literary world, but they just don't want to see you, what can they do.

They can only chat and entertain themselves in the school magazine or in the small publications they run privately.

For example, Beijing University's "Venus", such as Liu Jun's own "Colorful Stone"...

Not only do they have literary dreams in their hearts, but the students of Peking University at this time also have the world in their hearts. They are the first college students after the country restores order, and they are destined to lead the rise and fall and development of this country in the future.

Therefore, the students of Peking University in this era can also be said to be crazy. They call themselves "Eight Thousand Elites". There are too many strange things.

It can be said that the stage is as big as the heart.

Of course, their attitudes would not be so unrestrained in the face of recognized seniors, such as He Ping.

The satirical and absurd realistic novels "Fugui" and "Lu Deshui" are too much for this group of students. This is what their dreams of literature look like.

"If you have a chance in the future, take your time." He Ping comforted him, and then asked: "You said before that you would publish your work in your own magazine. How is your magazine doing?"

"What else can I do? For small-scale self-entertainment, I almost can't afford to use paper. Not only "Venus", but even my "Colorful Stone" can't continue."

"Venus" was founded spontaneously by the students of Peking University, and the editorial board members are "poets" of all grades in Peking University.

The cover is written by Mr. Wang Li. The paper used is very poor. By the time of the third issue, the paper of the first issue has turned yellow.

As soon as each issue comes out, the editorial board members are responsible for selling it all over the school, and sometimes go to the neighbor Mizuki to harass it, so that they can sell a little more.

In this day and age, what Beijing University lacks most is poets, and there is a joke on campus that a poet can be killed by throwing a steamed bun casually.

It is rumored that it was said by the masters of the cafeteria of Peking University that they are natural enemies with the poets on campus.

"Do you need my help?" At this time, the arrogance of some college students in Beijing is naturally disgusting, but more people are worth making friends with, not to mention that they have helped He Ping a lot this time.

"Help?" Liu Jun and the others didn't understand what He Ping meant. Could it be that he wanted to publish their work for them.

He Ping explained: "I am working on a publication myself, brother Zhenkai is cooperating with me, and he is in charge of organizing. You are all well-known poets in Beijing University. You can try to publish a collection of poems together. It will be good for you. It's beneficial."

Hearing He Ping's words, Liu Jun, Luo Yihe and Zha Haisheng's eyes lit up. They never thought that there would be such a good thing.

When several people were immersed in the beautiful fantasy of publishing a collection of poems, Lao Mu, who had always been an audience, said: "This is not good."

Lao Mu is different from Liu Jun and others. He purely likes literature and poetry, and rarely writes himself. Therefore, he is more of a listener among his friends, and he rarely speaks.

But it is precisely because of such a steady and kind personality that friends pay more attention to what he says every time.

"What do you mean?" Luo Yihe asked him.

"I understand Teacher He's good intentions to help us, but our works have not even been published in general publications, and publishing directly in a collection is tantamount to spoiling the growth of seedlings. The normal way is to publish first and then publish. Only when we have a certain reputation can we sell it Go out, if you operate like this, it will be easy for Mr. He who helped us to publish it to lose money." Lao Mu said slowly to several people.

Faced with the temptation to publish a collection of poems, Liu Jun and the others were a little reluctant to give up, but what Lao Mu said was very reasonable.
