A widower's entertainment

Chapter 27 [The ripples caused by love] (please follow up)
  Lin Youcheng knows very clearly that now because of this "Hawthorn Tree Love", he has truly become famous in one fell swoop.

Otherwise, he would not have received so many letters from strange women across the country.

Although he said it was early to become famous, it was obvious that as a middle-aged man, he now felt that it was good to be a late bloomer.

However, now that so many strange women have written to him and written down secrets, which can even be said to be unspeakable past events, this has also put Lin Youcheng under a lot of pressure. He is afraid that if he keeps silent in this tree hole and reveals the secret to the outside world, then he will Very bad.

Lin Youcheng didn't know that the love stone he cast in "Hawthorn Tree Love" not only aroused tsunami-like waves in the hearts of strange women, but also caused considerable ripples in the hearts of many strange men.

Of course, even if he knew, Lin Youcheng wouldn't care.

Department of Chinese, Yanjing Normal University.

A group of literary young people are discussing literature.

"Su Tong, I think you should stop writing poetry. Why don't you try writing novels? Maybe your novels won't be rejected."

Su Tong put down the "Novel Monthly" in his hand and said: "Similarly, I have started writing novels now, but they are always rejected. I really admire Lin Youcheng. I heard that this novel "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" is His debut novel was directly accepted by Novel Monthly."

"This is because this novel is well written, and now we are not all discussing the love of hawthorn trees."

Someone said: "I like and hate this kind of narrative. In the end, it still makes people heartbroken!"

Su Tong said: "Me too, it was so sad in the end. The third child is so perfect. He can be said to be China's love saint."

"I think people like him are so perfect. It's like a utopia of love."

"You think such a story doesn't exist?"

"I believe that the pure love between Lao San and Jing Qiu really exists."

"I believe in love, but I don't believe there is anyone as perfect as the third child."

"Whether you believe it or not, I read his novel anyway. I shed many tears during the reading process. The emotions were too complicated. It was not self-harm, sympathy, or even emotion. I felt a long-lost clarity in my heart. Cheng’s things came up to the brim, and before I knew it, my face was filled with tears.”

……

Su Tong did not listen carefully to his classmates discussing literature and "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree".

He just looked at "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" in the "Novel Monthly" in his hand. He believed that if he continued to write and submit manuscripts, the day would come when the manuscript would be published.

……

Publicity Section of Yanqing Fifth Bureau.

"Mo Ye, have you read the article "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" in the "Novel Monthly"? It's really touching."

"I heard that it was written by a new author named Lin Youcheng. This love novel he wrote is more touching than your debut novel "Spring Night Rainfall"."

Guan Moye had another name, or pen name, and his pen name was Mo San.

Mo Xian couldn't help but laugh when he heard this and said, "He wrote a novel, and mine is just a short story. How can they be compared?"

"This seems to be his debut novel. It's very powerful."

The person who spoke first nodded and said: "Yes, you are really powerful, but you are also very powerful. Your novel "Cotton Selling Road" was also reprinted by "Novel Monthly", and his article was also Published in "Novel Monthly"." "Both of your debut novels are romance novels. I think you can get to know each other and communicate."

Mo Xian said: "Yes, I must get to know him if I have the chance."

……

Ningxia, "Shuofang" literary magazine.

"Xianliang, have you read the article "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree"?"

Zhou Cheng, the editor of "Shuofang" literary magazine, asked his colleague Zhang Xianliang, "What do you think?"

"Of course I did."

Zhang Xianliang adjusted his glasses and said: "Although the text is simple, the story is sincere and moving."

"Everything about the entire love story is very ideal, very spiritual, and very perfect. But it is precisely this idealization, paired with a specific environment, a world with very limited material resources, and an era of extreme imperfection, that makes it far away from tackiness. In In the spiritual love that is more Platonic than Plato, we see the body that is extraordinarily perfect because it is looming, the passion that is extraordinarily lusty because of extreme repression, and we also see the sum of all these mental and physical attractions. It produced unprecedented tenderness and deep helplessness.”

As an editor, Zhang Xianliang naturally has his own views on "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", and said: "The sexual repression in this novel has given me some inspiration. Love has always seemed to restrain emotions and suppress sex, but I Wondering if I can break through the restricted area?"

"The purity in Lin Youcheng's "Hawthorn Tree Love" is not asexual purity, but it truly shows the state of ignorance and hunger for sex under a high degree of repression. This kind of purity is a bit like Adam and Eve's greed for pleasure. : Naked faces facing each other, chaos is beginning to open, unstained by dust. Sex is both mysterious and original sin. This kind of ecstasy, trembling and longing caused by taboos is the real purity."

"I want to write a novel about breaking through the restricted area and describing tenderness and love."

Hearing this, editor Zhou Cheng was not surprised, because in addition to being an editor, his colleague was also a well-known writer. The previously published "Spirit and Flesh" not only won the National Outstanding Short Story Award, but also won the National Outstanding Short Story Award. It was also made into the movie "Wrangler" last year.

Zhou Cheng asked curiously: "Have you already decided to write this novel?"

Zhang Xianliang thought for a moment and said: "I already have this idea. The novel can be called "Half of a Man is a Woman"."

"Half a man is a woman? Your name is very unusual!"

……

Haiyan County.

Yu Hua read "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" again and was still very moved. The writing was simple but touching. What made him most uncomfortable was that the novel ended with a tragedy.

Thinking of the huge response to this "Hawthorn Tree Love", various newspapers were discussing this love story. Yu Hua naturally knew about it, but he couldn't help but wonder whether tragedy would attract readers even more. discussion.

The tragedy at the end of this love story is also the most touching and tearful part.

If the third child did not die, it seems that this story would not have such a big impact.

It should be said that Lao San used his own death to sublimate this love story.

The third child is like a martyr of this love.

Yu Hua couldn't help but think that in literary stories, the death of a character, or the tragedy of a character, might be more impactful and impressive.

Yu Hua put down the "Novel Monthly" in his hand and looked in the direction of the cultural center, as if he understood something.
