Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 43 Teachers' Criticism
"The first thing I want to say is that the setting of the characters' identities in the work does not reflect the characteristics of the times, which is quite regrettable; there is also this paragraph..."

As soon as the thin middle-aged man named Xiao Jianguo came up, he started to find faults. From the characters to the plot, He Ping's fault-finding remarks made He Ping a little funny.

"Okay, that's the end of my speech. If there is anything inappropriate, please invite Comrade He Ping and colleagues present here Haihan."

After Xiao Jianguo finished his speech and sat down, Mr. Wang nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you Comrade Xiao Jianguo for your speech. Is there any comrade who wants to speak?"

As soon as Teacher Wang's words fell to the ground, someone stood up, "I want to say a few words."

"This kind of science fiction for children's books is discussed at our symposium. Is it open to discussion?"

This big brother was a thump when he came up, He Ping was confused, big brother, we have no grievances in the past, and we have no hatred in the near future, it is impossible, how could this person be kicked off the table as soon as he came up.

Teacher Wang persuaded with a smile: "Don't be obsessed with literary genres. Any literary category has a meaning. Although science fiction may be out of date in our country, its literary connotation is worthy of recognition."

"Teacher Wang is right, I am Meng Lang. What I mean is that this kind of articles that praise the ego is not worth advocating and studying. We should learn more from reality and create more cultural works with practical significance. "

As soon as Mr. Wang opened his mouth, the wind direction of the elder brother changed. He Ping said that he was very good.

What He Ping admired even more was Teacher Wang, who belittled his opponent and elevated himself with a few words.

He Ping listened to the speeches of the teachers one by one. It seemed that everyone listened to what Teacher Wang said at the beginning. There were almost no good things to say, and the criticism was one-sided.

He Ping knows that science fiction is not popular in this era, but He Ping never expected such a unanimous derogation from everyone. He Ping doesn't know how much of the reason Mr. Wang said at the beginning.

This gave He Ping an illusion, shouldn't he really "create" these science fiction novels?

After Yu Zhiyong and Director Mao separated, they came to the County Cultural Center.He remembered that there was a symposium on literary creation today, and it happened that Director Zhan had explained about He Ping, so he wanted to come over and communicate with the teacher at the symposium.

Just when I went up to the second floor, I happened to meet Li Feng who came out of the symposium after pouring water.

Li Feng held the kettle with a frightened expression on his face, it was too scary, this is not a seminar, and I don't know how He Ping offended these teachers.

"Hello, Director Yu!" The cultural center is a unit under the Cultural Bureau. How could Li Feng not know the head of the family, and greeted loudly when they met.

"Hi, is the symposium still open?" Yu Zhiyong asked casually, who didn't know Li Feng.

"It's still open, it's...discussing Comrade He Ping's works."

"Oh?" Yu Zhiyong wanted to say that Cao Cao and Cao Cao would be here, and asked again: "Comrade He Ping is here?"

"Here we are, invited by Director Wu."

Yu Zhiyong smiled, Old Wu really saved himself trouble.

Walking to the door, Yu Zhiyong stopped when he heard voices inside.It seems that the discussion inside is quite intense, so listen to it first.

The teachers who finished the novel spoke one after another, and they all criticized He Ping, with similar contents.

He Ping thought it was quite funny to say such words as "joking is not the same as nonsense", "rote application", "no practical significance", and thought that there was nothing new in it.

But in the end, it has become criticism for the sake of criticism, which makes He Ping a little angry.It's just a science fiction novel, so is it necessary to put it on the line?He Ping somewhat understood the pain of his predecessors.

When everyone finished speaking, Wang Changtian concluded his statement: "Okay, everyone has said so much. Generally speaking, it is out of public interest. I hope Comrade Xiao He can understand some of the harsh words. You You are still young, and everyone is doing it for your own good, so let’s end our discussion of Comrade Xiao He’s works today. Let me finally say that literary creation must take root in the soil of realism. Science fiction is a kind of literature genre, but it is not suitable for the development of our country and society, especially works with pleasure and extravagance, I personally dislike, even loathe and hate. Here I am not targeting Xiao He, but warning us all colleagues, don’t forget where our roots are.”

He Ping felt disgusted, and you personally don't like it very much, do you still have to like any work?Who are you?

Satisfied, Wang Changtian planned to end today's symposium, "Do you have anything else to say? Alright, then I declare today's symposium to be a success..."

He Ping raised his arms high, and asked weakly: "You guys have been talking for a long time, can I say a few words?"
