Literary Master 1978

Hong Zicheng came to Lin Chaoyang to exchange his views on scar literature. He never expected that he would be regarded as an experience monster by Tao Yushu.

However, unexpectedly, Hong Zicheng still answered Tao Yushu's question sincerely.

"Frankly speaking, my views on scar literature are rather complicated. Similar to Comrade Chaoyang's thoughts, I think we must not only acknowledge the important value that scar literature provides to Chinese literature and social development after its birth and mid-term development, but also See its own flaws.

In the process of my own theoretical research, I roughly divided contemporary Chinese literature into two parts. The dividing line was the humming period.

The current common debate in the literary circles is whether we should restore the creative style and ideology of the "Seventeen Years Literature" period. If we do not adhere to the path taken by the "Seventeen Years Literature", then how should we go.

Buzz buzz in this period from now on..."

Hong Zicheng got stuck when he said this. Maybe he didn't think of how to call this literary period after Bing Bing Bing. Now only three years have passed since 1976. Everything is just the beginning stage. There is no one in the literary world yet. There is an accurate description and definition of this period.

"New era literature!" At this moment, Lin Chaoyang blurted out.

Hearing this, Hong Zicheng's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands and stood up.

"Literature of the New Era! This is a good formulation, this is a great formulation! Comrade Chaoyang's research on contemporary literature is really profound, and this title cannot be more accurate!"

Lin Chaoyang waved his hand quickly and said, "Just saying casually, the name depends on the opinions of the academic community."

However, Hong Zicheng became more and more excited as he read it, and said: "This is a very good title. Comrade Chaoyang, I want to use your title in my book, can you?"

"You can use it if you want, it's just a name."

A cheerful smile appeared on Hong Zicheng's face, "Just because of your title, this trip is worthwhile."

Originally, Hong Zicheng came to Lin Chaoyang to exchange his views on scar literature, but Lin Chaoyang showed his in-depth understanding of contemporary Chinese literature, especially the period after Buzz Buzz, with just one phrase, making him reluctant to talk. Keep expanding the topic.

"Have you read the July issue of People's Literature? There is a novel in it." Hong Zicheng asked.

"You're talking about Jiang Zilong's "The Taking of Factory Director Qiao", right?"

"Yes, you really paid attention."

"It's so well written, and its influence is still so great, how could I not pay attention to it?"

Hong Zicheng nodded and said: "Nowadays, some critics have shouted the slogan of 'reforming literature'. "The Taking of Director Qiao" can be regarded as a pioneering work. His works have far-reaching influence."

"The story of "Director Qiao's Taking Up the Job" is well written, but when it comes to the beginning of reform literature, I think his "A Day in the Life of Director of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering" may be more suitable."

Hong Zicheng was a little surprised when he heard this. He started paying attention to Jiang Zilong from "Director Qiao's Ascension" and did not fully understand Jiang Zilong's previous works.

"I've never read this novel. Tell me about it."

""A Day in the Life of the Electrical and Mechanical Director" is probably..., you have to know that this novel was published at the beginning of 1976. As a work published during the humming period, the whole work is full of a depressive atmosphere, which is very harmful to the public. The current situation on the industrial front at that time was filled with a worried narrative voice.

This was incompatible with the political and economic environment at the time. Jiang Zilong had already shown a keen insight into China's industrial development and a strong sense of responsibility in this novel.

The name "reform literature" may be more suitable for it. "

Hong Zicheng was unexpected by Lin Chaoyang's attention to the newly emerging reform literature. He was even more curious about how Lin Chaoyang could be so familiar with these works. After all, as a scholar who specializes in contemporary literature, he would inevitably make some omissions.

Facing his question, Lin Chaoyang laughed, "Have you forgotten where I work? The biggest advantage of working in the library is that you can read books. Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, especially contemporary literary journals, our newspaper room It’s so full inside.”

Before the popularization of the Internet, libraries were the most authoritative and convenient channel for people to obtain knowledge and information. The Yanda Library ranked high in China, and Lin Chaoyang naturally received a lot of nourishment from being there.

However, Lin Chaoyang had only been in the library for a year, and he was usually busy with work, so naturally he couldn't read a lot of books. What he told Hong Zicheng was half true and half false.

Some of the views he expounded were based on his own feelings after reading them for more than a year, and some were brought about by the insights of later generations.

But Hong Zicheng doesn’t know this. Library work, reading a lot of books...

The human brain has a very powerful ability called association. When these two keywords came into mind, Hong Zicheng immediately thought of the indescribable power.

Listening to Lin Chaoyang's words, Hong Zicheng couldn't help but look at him with a bit of reverence.

Being able to work as a temporary worker in the library is definitely not something you can do!

A hearty exchange made Hong Zicheng introduce Lin Chaoyang as a confidant. At the end of the conversation, he said with emotion: "Chaoyang, it is a pity that a talent like you cannot teach in our Chinese Department."

Lin Chaoyang smiled and waved his hand, "With my level, how can I teach? It's better to be a student."

Hong Zicheng laughed when he heard this, because he had just heard Lin Chaoyang talk about taking classes in the Chinese Department.

Before, Lin Chaoyang attended classes with students, but one day he suddenly stood on the podium and became a teacher. Hong Zicheng couldn't help laughing when he imagined that scene.

Time passed quickly and it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. Lin Chaoyang sent Hong Zicheng away.

When he returned to the house, he found that Tao Yushu was looking at him with starry eyes, which were so bright that it was scary.

In the past, she and Lin Chaoyang discussed literary creation, but because they were husband and wife, they always stopped at the right point, or they would go off topic to more intimate things.

Today, Hong Zicheng's arrival surprised Tao Yushu that her husband had grown up to the point where she needed to look up to him without her noticing.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Tao Yushu didn't answer his question, but took his hand, looking distressed, "Chaoyang, you've worked so hard."

Hard work?

Before Lin Chaoyang asked why it was hard, Tao Yushu said, "Not only did he not fall behind in the library, he also had to take time to attend classes and read, and he had to write when he got home."

Tao Yushu imagined her husband's busy scene every day, feeling both distressed and proud.

"Ah, this... is true." Lin Chaoyang's originally energetic face immediately showed a bit of fatigue, "It's a bit hard, but learning makes people happy."

"Learning makes people happy?"

Tao Yushu muttered this sentence, her eyes brighter and brighter.

It's my blessing to find such a positive and motivated partner!

She nodded vigorously, "Yes, learning makes people happy. Chaoyang, you said it very well, you really should write this sentence and post it on the wall."

Lin Chaoyang was frightened by his wife's crazy, "Wife, wife, there is no need, it's enough for us to understand this spirit ourselves, wouldn't posting it put pressure on everyone?"

"Why is there pressure? Pressure proves that you don't seek to make progress!"

Tao Yushu's rebuttal was impeccable.

Lin Chaoyang advised: "This is home, not school or work. Think about your elder brother..."

"Hmm... I forgot that there is such an unlearned person like him at home."

My wife is really professional in making fun of my elder brother.

"But what you said is really good. It's a pity not to use it." Tao Yushu muttered, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.

The next day after get off work, Lin Chaoyang found that Tao's father was actually writing. This time, his sister-in-law was not there, so his flattery was useful.

"Dad, you are in a good mood today!"

At this time, Tao's father had just started writing, concentrating, and had no time to echo his son-in-law's flattery.

I saw him write with a big brush, and six big words appeared on the paper like flowing water:

Learning makes people happy!

Lin Chaoyang:? ? ?

"Dad, what are you doing..." Lin Chaoyang couldn't help asking.

Father Tao put down his pen and replied, "Yushu said that Xiwen is in elementary school and Xiwu will soon be in school, so she asked me to write something and post it in their rooms to urge the two boys to study."

"She asked you to write?"

Lin Chaoyang didn't finish the second half of the sentence: She asked you to write, so you wrote it?

"Yes, it's hard for her, as an aunt, to still think about the two little ones." Father Tao was very pleased with his daughter's attitude.

Only Lin Chaoyang, who knew the inside story, was speechless. He was very worried that if his wife continued to roll like this, the family would be in turmoil.

"Yucheng, stick this slogan on Xiwen and Xiwu!"

Father Tao shouted, and the eldest brother-in-law came out of the room immediately, admiring his father's calligraphy, and didn't forget to flatter him.

"Dad, your handwriting has improved recently!"

Lin Chaoyang shook his head secretly. The flattery of the eldest brother-in-law was not as good as his own level.

What the wife said was right, he was unlearned!

Tao Yucheng carefully held the calligraphy of his father and came to the room of his two sons, and pasted the calligraphy on the desk where Tao Xiwen wrote and did homework.

Tao Yumo had just moved to the school dormitory for a few days, and he was so happy that he didn't want to go home yet. I don't know if he was angry. Yesterday, his mother-in-law ordered his elder brother-in-law to clean up the room.

Originally, Tao Yucheng lived in one room with his elder son Tao Xiwen, and Zhao Li lived in one room with her younger son Tao Xiwu and Tao Yumo. Now, according to the instructions of Tao's mother, Tao Xiwen and Tao Xiwu lived in one room, and Tao Yucheng and his wife lived in one room.

The two sons lived in one room, and the couple lived in one room. The elder brother-in-law was naturally happy, and his movements were unprecedentedly swift.

But in this way, I am afraid that Tao Yumo will have to squeeze in with the two younger ones when he goes home on weekends and winter and summer vacations in the future.

Now the two brothers Wenwu are still young, so there is nothing inconvenient, but in two years, it will not be possible.

Lin Chaoyang felt sad for his sister-in-law again, and the position of the brother in the family was clear at a glance.
