1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 229 I Just Want to Fill a Cup
"Okay!" Lao Meng slapped his hands and shouted, "Where did you come up with such wonderful ideas?"

"Hey, it's all for work!" Lin Weimin said modestly, with innocence and kindness written all over his face.

"Let's do this. Later, the two of us will discuss with Lao Tan and come up with a charter, and then report it to the agency."

"Ah, report it to the agency? It's not necessary, is it?"

Lin Weimin's tone was a bit apprehensive, he was not afraid of anything else, but he was afraid of being criticized.

Lao Yan probably still remembers the hardcover edition of the series before, but if he hits the gun this time, wouldn't he have to write an inspection?
Meng Weizai said: "It's okay. In fact, not only our editorial department is short of manpower, but the agency is also short of manpower. After discussing it later, I will go to Lao Yan. Let's find a famous name. What kind of name should we find?"

Seeing that Lao Meng couldn't think of a solution, Lin Weimin came over and said, "Cultivate step-by-step editing talents?"

"Come on!" Lao Meng clapped his hands again, "You are still a quick-witted, ladder-type editor. After all, this can be regarded as a reserve for our Chinese language club, right? Anyway, a group of college students are recruited into the club every year, so let them advance Come here for an internship."

Lin Weimin gave a timely thumbs up, "Leader, high!"

The two looked at each other and smiled like two chicken thieves.

The editorial department unanimously agreed quickly, and after the "Big Three" conspired in the office for a few minutes, Lao Meng walked towards the front building with cheerful steps.

After more than half an hour, he came back with a happy expression, "Lao Yan agrees in principle, but this matter has to be discussed at the meeting."

Lin Weimin cheered and said, "That's not a big problem!"

Meng Weizai lowered his face, "Nonsense, pay attention to the democratic atmosphere!"

Lin Weimin is making fun of himself, you group of leaders really don't agree with each other.

A few days later, Lin Weimin's proposal was successfully discussed at the meeting.

However, the affairs in the club are much more generous than that of Mr. Lin. What Mr. Lin mentioned was to recruit a group of college students and just give some subsidies every day.

After discussions in the club, Mr. Lin's idea was changed. The club came forward to contact the universities that had sent college students to the club before, and then the school appointed a group of student volunteers. These volunteers came to the Chinese language club to help. As long as there is no subsidy, there is still a great opportunity to stay and work in the Guowen Society in the future.

Although jobs are assigned by the state these days, it is still a very good choice for many liberal arts students to join the national literature club.

I don't know how the college students would feel if they learned that Teacher Lin, who is deeply loved by them, had come up with such an idea in order to lighten the burden on himself and his colleagues.

At the same time, in a courtyard in Yanjing.

A group of college students were sitting together with serious expressions. The boy standing at the head was Zhang Jianjun who "assaulted" Yang Lixin before.

He was just admitted to Yanjing Normal University last year. Not surprisingly, he will become a glorious people's teacher in four years.

At this time, holding the freshly released "Literary News" in his hand, he said in a low tone: "Students, what I want to share with you today is the latest review article published by Teacher Lin Weimin on "Literary News"-"We Literary creation needs a hundred flowers to bloom."

Immediately afterwards, he read the article in his hand with a vigorous and powerful voice, and the expressions of the surrounding students gradually became solemn. After Zhang Jianjun read aloud to the middle, everyone's faces began to show enthusiasm.

"Literary creation has just been liberated from a great shadow, and we don't want it to fall into another shadow.

Now the new generation of author friends are no longer satisfied with the single narrative form of novels, and have begun to pursue multiple narratives and multiple possibilities.

The colleagues in the editorial department agreed that we should face up to the new changes, new requirements, and new directions of literary creation in the new era..."

Zhang Jianjun read a [-]-word article for more than ten minutes, during which he paused several times because of his emotions.

After reading the article, he waved the publication in his hand excitedly, and said impassionedly: "Students, a new era of Chinese literature has arrived! This article by Mr. Lin is a call to the old literature! In the war of gunpowder, Mr. Lin is our commander, and now he has taken the lead in blowing the horn of counterattack against the decayed and old forces, we must follow in Mr. Lin's footsteps and charge forward with the determination to win!"

Zhang Jianjun's speech was incomparable, but none of the people present showed a strange expression. They all became emotional after listening to Zhang Jianjun's speech.

"Ms. Lin really deserves to be the No. 1 of the new generation of Chinese literary circles, with courage!"

"I've decided that the novel I just wrote yesterday will be submitted to "Contemporary"!"

"Yes, we are also voting for "Contemporary", preferably Mr. Lin as our editor."

……

The numerous discussions caused the room to fall into a short-term noise, until everyone's emotions were almost vented, and after reaching a consensus that "only submit articles to "Contemporary"" in the future, the next girl stood up.

She also held a book in her hand, "Everyone, what I want to share with you today is the novella "Latent" that Teacher Lin once published on "Zhongshan". The most touching passage in the work, this passage is the plot of Yu Zecheng excitedly reading the article "Serving the People" after Zuo Lan, the lover and comrade Zuo Lan of the heroine Yu Zecheng died in order to protect him."

Girls obviously love the novel "Latent" very much. Just talking about this plot, their eyes turn red.

She sorted out her emotions, and a soothing voice sounded in the room.

"In the living room, Yu Zecheng held the article and read it over and over again. At first his tone was flat, then he gradually became excited, and then became fierce and tragic. He thought of Zuo Lan's death.

'People are always going to die, but the meaning of death is different.In ancient China, a writer named Sima Qian said: Human beings are mortal, and they are either heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather.To die for the benefit of the people is heavier than Mount Tai; to work hard for the Communists, to die for those who exploit and oppress the people, is lighter than a feather.Comrade Zhang Side died for the benefit of the people, and his death was heavier than Mount Tai. '

......"

The girl finished reading this passage with tears in her eyes, and then said in a choked voice: "When I read this article by the old man before, I couldn't understand the meaning contained in it, until I saw Teacher Lin in "Latent". Only after reading this passage out of Cheng’s mouth did I realize how profound the old man’s thoughts are.”

When the girl spoke, the students around her were infected by her, with solemn and sad expressions.

They are all in their early 20s, and the death of the old man is an indelible memory in their hearts.

The gloomy atmosphere lasted for a few minutes. After the girls sat down, another student stood up and read Lin Weimin's works aloud.

They are all students from various colleges and universities in Yenching, and they have only one purpose for gathering, and that is because of Lin Weimin.

Obviously, this is a reading club organized by Lin Weimin's fanatics. In the words of later generations, this group of people are Lin Weimin's only fans.

I just don't know if this group of college students who regard Lin Weimin as their spiritual mentor will still love him so much after learning about the temporary job that Mr. Lin found for them?

Probably probably still will.

After all, Teacher Lin is an idol!
With the passage of time, Lin Weimin's article "Our Literary Creation Needs a Hundred Flowers to Bloom" in "Literary News" aroused more and more repercussions.

As "People's Literature", which belongs to the same Guowenshe, in the March issue of the publication, it quoted Lin Weimin's words in the article many times in the preface and editor's note, which fully demonstrated its support for his family.

Then there was the "Wen Wei Po" as far away as Shanghai. This newspaper should be regarded as the first major newspaper to stand up and support Lin Weimin with a clear banner.

Lin Weimin's works have always been very popular in the surrounding areas of Shanghai. After the re-opening, the degree of openness between the north and the south is gradually showing differences. Now Lin Weimin's "literary creation needs a hundred flowers to bloom" direction just caters to the concept of openness, which immediately arouses It has attracted a lot of attention from the media and caring people, and has been highly praised.

The voice of "Wen Wei Po" was like a clarion call, and more and more media joined the discussion sparked by Lin Weimin's article, including newspapers from the capital like "Yanjing Daily", "Guangming Daily", " There are national newspapers such as China Youth Daily, local newspapers such as Liaodong Daily and Jinmen Daily, and publications such as Critic and Literary Review that focus on literary criticism.

More and more newspapers and magazines participated in this discussion, gradually forming a collective discussion among local literary associations, newspapers, magazines and other publications across the country, as well as literature lovers.

The last time there was such a big national discussion was in 1980.

Pan Xiao, a female worker in a textile factory, wrote a letter to "China Youth", titled "The road of life, how does it get narrower and narrower".

Once this letter was published, it immediately aroused an uproar among the young people, and a nationwide discussion about the outlook on life that had never been seen in history kicked off.

The discussion triggered by Lin Weimin's article this time is even worse than it was back then.

After a long period of almost cruel repression, the domestic literary world has been silent for too long, even though there have been frequent important speeches at conferences by literary figures in the past few years to boost morale and spirit, the atmosphere has also improved .

But the harm that has already been caused cannot be smoothed out so easily. The most important thing is that the conservative atmosphere cannot be reversed in a short time.

Zhang Jianjun's full-fledged speech became a prophecy, and Lin Weimin's article in the "Literary News" really sparked a nationwide discussion on the direction of literary creation.

As the instigator, Lin Weimin looked at everything that happened suddenly in a short period of time with a look of bewilderment.

I just want to fill a cup after finishing my work, do you guys want to make it so big?
　Second more.
