Jincheng.

At around seven in the evening, Liang Wen dragged his tired body back home.

He is 35 years old and is an editor at a publishing house. Today, he proofread articles for publication with a little-known author and worked overtime again.

In the eyes of others, Liang Wen's work in the office with air conditioning all day is not really hard, but only he knows that this job is really tiring on the psychological level.

It's exhausting!

Eating, tutoring his second-grade daughter's homework, washing...

It's not the day to pay public grain today, Liang Wen sits in the study and has a rare time for himself.

Turning on the computer, a pop-up window of a certain news popped up.

The title is "Whose cake did Ye Zhiqiu touch? Many well-known literary writers jointly issued a statement calling for a boycott of online literature headed by Ye Zhiqiu."

Seeing this title, Liang Wen couldn't help but sneer.

This debate has been going on in the literary world for nearly a week.

Liang Wen, who graduated from the Chinese Department, has a high level of literary literacy. In his twenties, he was a true literary youth.

Ye Zhiqiu knew that the two famous novels "Zhu Xian" and "Xian Jian" had also been heard of, but he was used to reading traditional literature on weekdays, and he was also in charge of this section as an editor of a publishing house, so he had not read these two novels.

Liang Wen himself is in this line of work, so he can naturally look at this issue more rationally.

In fact, anyone with independent thinking ability can see that this dispute between "traditional literature" and "online literature" is a farce of "stealing concepts".

A group of people who claim to be traditional literature writers blame the phenomenon that no one appreciates their works on online literature, accusing online literature of affecting the appreciation level of young people in this era.

In Liang Wen's view, as the literary master Qin Dewen said, the distinction between "traditional" and "online" literature is strictly a paradox.

In different eras, works enter the public eye through different ways. Newspapers, literary magazines, and publishing houses are "traditional" ways. The "Internet" is just a more convenient new way in the digital age.

Different channels naturally lead to great changes in the style of works.

In the past, novels serialized in newspapers and magazines had high requirements for the author's ability to tell stories in concise language because of the limited length.

Nowadays, online distribution has no length restrictions, but pays more attention to the author's ability to tell a good story.

The two methods have their own characteristics, and it is impossible to say which is better or worse. It can only be said that the Internet has greatly lowered the threshold for writing, allowing more people to participate in it and express their own ideas, and the same is true for readers. This "short, flat and fast" method is obviously more adaptable to the trend of commercialization than traditional methods.

As for the quality of the work, it depends on the writer. It is meaningless to talk about "tradition" and "Internet".

However, on this issue, Liang Wen belongs to the silent majority.

Even though he has his own judgment in his heart, he chooses to remain silent in the noisy circle of discourse.

If I were the "literary youth" myself in the past, I would have fought with others online for three days and three nights to express my own views.

Now that I have entered middle age, I understand that you can never wake up someone who pretends to be asleep, and I have gradually lost the urge to speak out for arguments that are not related to my interests.

Life is already so tiring, why should I waste my time on nitpicking!

Liang Wen retracted his thoughts, turned off the news push, and opened the web page.

On the homepage of the navigation website, there is a simple Weibo hot search list, and the red bold font at the top of the list is particularly eye-catching.

Liang Wen glanced over casually, and the title was "Autumn Modern Poetry Essay Competition, Five God-making Works".

Liang Wen sighed deeply again, feeling that the current Internet atmosphere is becoming more and more impetuous, and some exaggerated words such as "masterpiece" are used at every turn, and now it has infiltrated into activities such as "Autumn Modern Poetry Essay Competition".

Ignoring these topics, Liang Wen logged into the literary forum he often visited.

Then, Liang Wen paused, and was surprised to find that most of the posts on the forum were discussing issues such as "Autumn Essay Contest" and "Masterpiece".

This forum named "Green Pine and Cypress" is a gathering place for literature lovers, and there are also many well-known authors. Although there are not many users, they all have a certain literary appreciation ability.

Even the posts in this forum are like this, Liang Wen suddenly became interested and directly opened the official website of "Autumn Modern Poetry Essay Contest".

There is a public column for submitted works on the homepage of the website. Liang Wen immediately noticed the top five works, and the number of comments was obviously higher than other works.

The sixth one,It was "White Clouds" by modern poet Guan Yi.

These should be the five poems, Liang Wen looked at the first one.

Haizi: "Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms".

Seeing this title, Liang Wen's heart was slightly moved.

—— Very warm words.

Then, Liang Wen fell into confusion.

Haizi? Who is this? He had never heard of this person in the literary world.

With doubts, Liang Wen clicked into the poem details interface and looked at the specific content.

【From tomorrow, be a happy person

Feed the horses, chop wood, travel around the world

From tomorrow, care about food and vegetables

I have a house facing the sea, with spring flowers blooming

From tomorrow, write to every relative

Tell them my happiness

What the happy lightning told me

I will tell everyone

Give every river and every mountain a warm name

Stranger, I also wish you a bright future

May your lovers finally get married

May you find happiness in the world

I only wish to face the sea, with spring flowers blooming】

This poem is not long, and it can be read in just a few minutes. However, Liang Wen read it over and over again several times.

The words in the poem are very simple, depicting the simplest life and the most sincere wishes.

In today's busy and chaotic days, after reading this poem, Liang Wen's somewhat impetuous heart gradually calmed down.

After a long time, Liang Wen took a deep breath and came back to his senses from the ideal life of "facing the sea, spring flowers blooming", his face slightly excited.

What the hot search said was right! This modern poem can indeed be called a "masterpiece"!

Who is this "Haizi"? Liang Wen quickly searched, but was surprised to find that there was no information about this author on the Internet, but there were many posts like himself asking who "Haizi" was.

The search was fruitless, Liang Wen suddenly remembered that there were four works that were also called "masterpieces" that he had not appreciated, and quickly switched back.

The second one, Gu Cheng: "A Generation"

It was another unfamiliar name, Liang Wen didn't care so much at this time, and clicked in.

This poem is much shorter, with only two lines.

[The night gave me black eyes

But I use them to find light]
