1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 459 The Swordsman

Facing the question of leadership, Lin Weimin put down his pen lightly.

"Leader, I have written the review, what publication do you think it will be published in?"

His words did not answer the question, but let the leader fully understand his attitude.

The leader said with a bit of anger: "Left and right are just to write a self-criticism, is it so difficult?"

Lin Weimin finally turned serious this time, and nodded seriously.

"It's just that difficult. Leader, if you bend your waist once, it will be very difficult to straighten up again!"

After listening to Lin Weimin's words, the leader stared at him for a long time, and the anger in his eyes dissipated.

Finally, he regained his composure, "I told me that early spring that your novel satirizes us bureaucrats who don't do anything."

"It's a novel, it can't be taken as real, so please don't say that, or I will be charged with another crime."

The leader ignored Lin Weimin's ambiguity, and pointed to the "Review" on the table, "Don't try to be clever with me, if you have the ability, you can post this to the newspaper."

Lin Weimin muttered, "I'll send it later."

The leader saw his shabby cans and shattered, and hated iron but said: "I think you, the director, don't want to do it anymore!"

"Leader, we have to speak with conscience! Is this what I don't want to do? Someone doesn't want me to do it!"

The leader waved his hand impatiently, "Stop messing with me here! If your novels are not so explicit, can they be caught by others?"

"Leader, look at you, why are you reciting the dialogue from my novel?" Lin Weimin teased.

The leader was so angry that he almost walked over, and couldn't help but swear: "You fucking..."

Seeing Lin Weimin's unscrupulous character like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, the leader didn't bother to scold him anymore, and waved his hand: "Okay, let's go, let's go!"

Lin Weimin was about to leave, when the leader pointed to the "Review" on the table, "Take this thing away, don't keep it here as an eyesore!"

Lin Weimin glanced at the leader, "Then I took it?"

The leader didn't speak.

Lin Weimin asked again: "Can I send it?"

The leader didn't speak again.

Lin Weimin showed a smile, and before leaving the door, he said, "Thank you, the Border Agency!"

After he left, the leader sighed helplessly.

I found this monkey grandson here today, and I planned to put some pressure on him to convince him.

But the monkey grandson is the monkey grandson, how can he be so easily suppressed?

The leader understood Cheng Zaochun's daily difficulties, but he was his own after all...

Stir it, stir it!Just stir it up, the public opinion will be chaotic, and all parties will be hostile to each other and divided, and everyone will be honest!
After returning from the publishing office, Lin Weimin had just entered the gate of the Guowen Society when he saw Cheng Zaochun standing at the door of the front building and waving to him.

He was parking the car, Cheng Zaochun eagerly walked to the side of the car, and asked anxiously: "What's the situation? How to deal with you?"

Lin Weimin parked the car in a leisurely manner, got out of the car and said, "What should I do? Old Cheng, you are just preaching a false imperial decree. The leader didn't say that I will be dealt with."

"Don't deal with you?" Cheng Zaochun was inexplicably surprised, and said in disbelief: "Is it your kid who falsely preached the imperial decree?"

"I think what you mean is that you want me to be punished, don't you?"

Cheng Zaochun was so impatient with his poor talk, he wanted to give him a kick, "Can you be serious?"

Seeing that he was a little irritable, Lin Weimin restrained himself a little, and took out the "review" he wrote.

"See? We invite you to come back to the 'imperial decree'!"

Cheng Zaochun flipped through the thin paper, "What do you mean?"

Lin Weimin recounted the conversation that took place in the leader's office just now, and Cheng Zaochun frowned after hearing this, with a pensive look on his face.

After a long while, he said, "What does the leader mean? I plan to support you?"

"I don't know if I can support it or not. I guess it's because my attitude is too tough, so I can't force my head to admit my mistake, so I want to make a fuss."

Cheng Zaochun stroked his chin, and said in a deep thought: "If you really make a fuss, there is actually pressure on the other side."

"That's right, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind! They do the first day of junior high school, and I do fifteenth, which is very reasonable."

Cheng Zaochun frowned again, "The leader asked me to force you to bow your head and admit your mistake? What does he mean?"

"What else do you mean? There are two plans. If you can directly ask me to apologize, it is best to calm down. If it is under the pressure of several other departments and forcefully press my head to apologize, it will also damage the dignity of our system, including the leadership." damage!"

On the way back, Lin Weimin had figured out what the leader was thinking.

After hearing what he said, Cheng Zaochun couldn't help but nodded in agreement, feeling a little uncomfortable again.

In this way, isn't he a human being inside and out?
Lin Weimin saw what was going on in his mind, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "This is how I am, I have no right to speak!"

"You heartless thing!" Cheng Zaochun scolded Lin Weimin angrily, because he was worried just now.

Lin Weimin laughed and put his arms around his shoulders, entered his office, and picked up the phone on the desk.

"What are you doing?" Cheng Zaochun pressed the phone.

"What else can I do? Make trouble!"

"What kind of trouble?"

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend, find the weasel."

It’s different in the past.

Before, the Cultural Association wanted him to speak out and use him as a knife.

But now, what he has to do is to be a swordsman.
-
A few days later, the latest issue of "Literary News" was published as scheduled.

This important domestic newspaper in the field of literature and art is one of the key publications subscribed by countless government agencies and state-owned factories in China, and it is also one of the publications that many cadres and employees often read, especially in the cultural field. After being changed to a weekly report in July 85, it continues to this day.

When the new issue of the publication is in their hands, many people habitually read the entire page of the publication first, and then someone discovers the difference in today's publication.

"This is?"

Article title: "Hunting", author: Lin Weimin.

"The gun went off.

Did you see who fired the shot?
I can't see clearly, he's on the moral high ground, he's in the sun. "

Many people frowned when they saw the content of the article smaller than a block of tofu on the page. What kind of article is this?novel?Modern poetry?

Some people who have read the novel "Hunting" felt something when they saw the three words Lin Weimin, and after carefully reading these few lines, they felt a chill run down their backs for some reason.

Reminiscent of the recent overwhelming criticism from public opinion, they instantly understood the meaning of these three sentences.

These three sentences, just twenty or so words, completely condense the plot of the novel "Hunting", which can be regarded as the central idea of ​​"Hunting", and can also be regarded as Lin Weimin's inner monologue and resistance.

Think carefully about the plot of the novel "Hunting", how similar it is to the situation Lin Weimin is facing now!
Many people read the short text in the publication, and the emotions in their hearts slowly condensed into a feeling of empathy.

It is recognized that the novel "The Hunt" is well written. Even if the readers who have read it do not agree with the concepts in it, no one denies the artistic value of this work.

But now, as some newspapers made plausible voices and criticized the novel, more and more ordinary people joined the ranks of criticizing the novel.

When many readers who have read "The Hunt" hear the accusations around them, they are very clear that most of them have not even read the novel, and they just heard some rumors.

How familiar is this scene!

Some sensitive people have completely digested the hidden content behind this passage, which is a cry, a resistance, and a call for help.

Those who understand the meaning of this passage are all ups and downs in their hearts, and there is an emotion spreading, and they feel uncomfortable.

A few days after this issue of "Literary News" was published, there were more and more letters from readers, most of which were aimed at Lin Weimin's extremely short article published in "Literary News".

You can't even tell what style it's written in, but that doesn't stop readers from empathizing with it.

Most of the people who wrote these letters have a common feature, that is, they are cultural people who have experienced the era of the collapse of rites and music, and have suffered greatly from it.

Seeing Lin Weimin's situation now, they can't just sit idly by.

The editors of "Literary News" looked at the letters from readers pouring in like snowflakes, and their hanging hearts finally fell.

Since the beginning of this year, the "Literary News" has been criticized as the main battlefield of the Association.Some time ago, because of the publication of "Hunting", Lin Weimin was attacked and criticized. The leaders of the Cultural Association hoped to use Lin Weimin's voice to divert the pressure of public opinion, but Lin Weimin refused.

But just a few days ago, probably because of too much pressure from critical voices, Lin Weimin approached the leader of the Association of Arts and Culture and asked for cooperation, which made the Association of Arts and Culture overjoyed.

Now, seeing more and more feedback from readers, and the tendency is so obvious.

Not only that, but influenced by Lin Weimin's "Hunting" short article, more and more people began to post and express their voices in other media.

Within a few days, public opinion was no longer as one-sided as before.

The comrades of the Association for the Arts and the "Literary and Art News" were simply delighted.

Another interesting point is that many of the people who spoke out for Lin Weimin this time are important figures in the cultural world, and many of them were critics of Lin Weimin and this novel after the publication of "Burning".

All those who are familiar with these two situations have felt the paradox and irony of reality.

The comrades of the Cultural Association are discussing in private, just a few dozen words, why is it so powerful?

Everyone is puzzled.

Zhang Guangnian, who was fairly familiar with Lin Weimin, said in a deep voice: "Weimin is a man with obvious characteristics in creation, and he shows his sharpness. His three sentences are definitely not a temporary idea. I suspect it should be in the creation. The novel "The Hunt" was already written."

Someone said: "I'm just curious. These three sentences are understood on the surface, but they have nothing to do with "Hunting". But after you finish reading, you can feel the strong emotions. Lin Weimin is really amazing! "

"That's true. Hey, do you think this passage was originally the content of the novel? It suddenly occurred to me that this may actually be an ending that Lin Weimin gave up at that time."

"What ending?"

"Teacher Gao didn't die from the beating of gangsters, but was shot in the dark. This passage can be used as the end. For example, Teacher Gao did not die immediately, but left behind on the way to the hospital. After these few conversations."

After brainstorming, this topic quickly aroused everyone's interest, "Don't tell me, your idea is really interesting."

"Write it down, write it down. Expand it and write it down, and post it in the next issue of the publication. It will definitely be popular." Someone encouraged.

Zhang Guangnian looked at the lively discussions among the crowd, but his emotions were not too high.

Seeing this, Bao Chang asked in a low voice, "Why are you unhappy?"

Zhang Guangnian glanced at him, "Why are you happy?"

"The article for the people has worked. Now the two sides are more and more evenly matched, and we are under a lot less pressure."

Zhang Guangnian pouted at the group of young people who were talking, "Look at this, is our pressure less?"

Bao Chang followed his gaze and fell into deep thought.
