1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 278 You Damn
"Lover" is a love novel, which is Lin Weimin's definition of this novel.

Of course, he also anticipated the controversy that this novel might cause after its publication.

It's just that he didn't expect that this controversy would come so quickly and violently!
On November 11, less than a week after "Contemporary" went public, "Yanjing Daily" took the lead in publishing a review article, the author of which was veteran writer Liu Feiyu.

"The world is declining, and people's hearts are not old. The revolutionary ancestors risked their lives to build such a great country, but they have raised such dirty people. It is sad and indignant."

After reading the article, Lin Weimin was most impressed by this sentence. He is the "uncle" in the old writer's mouth.

Liu Yin flipped the pages of the newspaper and joked, "Editor Lin, do you have any feelings you want to publish?"

Lin Weimin shook his head helplessly, saying shit.

Lin Weimin has never read the works of Liu Feiyu, an old writer, but Meng Weizai gave him a popular science about this person's qualifications, which belongs to the existence that Lin Weimin can't scold, so he can only suffer.

Just bear it, and it will pass, Lin Weimin told himself in his heart.

On November 11th, "Contemporary" has just been listed for one week, and the editorial department gradually began to receive letters and comments from readers about the content of this issue as usual.

In the letters of the past two days, the two words "lover" have become the words that must be mentioned in every letter, and the readers' evaluation of this novel in the letters is polarized.

Some people praised this novel as the best romance novel in contemporary Chinese literature, while others scoffed at the content of this novel, and even cursed it.

Almost all of these people have a common feature, that is, they start to find fault with the title of the book.

Chinese people's respect for words has become a habit and taboo since ancient times. You say you sing love, but your name is called lover. What kind of logic is this?I think it is using the title of the book to attract attention!

The second is the description in the novel of the luxury and life in old Shanghai, which some people call "calling for the soul of capitalism and the Guo party".

Finally, the novel involves some actions and psychological descriptions of the two protagonists when they are deeply in love, which is rated by these readers as "gaining low-level fun with sensuality and eroticism".

After reading these letters from readers, Lin Weimin was a little stunned, as if he had really done something heinous.

There are masters among the masses!
Among other things, just the ability to get on the line is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Tong Zhonggui opened letters from readers one by one, and handed them to Lin Weimin, feeling uneasy.

He comforted: "Mr. Lin, "Lover" is a good work, these people just didn't understand it."

Lin Weimin smiled nonchalantly: "You can't say it's a good work, you have to let the people evaluate it."

Tong Zhonggui didn't understand the meaning of Lin Weimin's words for a while, thinking that he said it out of anger.

In the middle of the year, there are more and more letters from readers, and the problem of polarization in the evaluation of "Lover" is becoming more and more prominent. Lin Weimin can no longer read the letters, and he still has a lot of work to do.

After Liu Feiyu, several old writers stood up to criticize "Lover".

"Dirty literary garbage", "low-level works that cater to low-level people with disgusting low-level tastes", "spiritual pollution of the people"...

More and more conservative writers joined the ranks of criticizing "Lover", and then began to criticize the author Lin Weimin.

The colleagues in the editorial department began to worry about Lin Weimin.

The last time Lin Weimin received such widespread criticism was after the publication of "Farewell My Concubine", but it was not as violent as this time!

Moreover, the writers criticized this time are generally older, with senior qualifications, and their words have more weight, and it is not easy to refute.

You said that it doesn't matter if he relies on the old to sell the old, or the stones in the latrine are smelly and hard, in short, there is nothing to do with them.

In the second half of the year, the criticism of "Lover" and Lin Weimin seems to have gradually formed a trend. As long as they want to find it, colleagues in the editorial department can see content about this matter in various newspapers and magazines almost every day.

Conservative old writers, teaching scholars in universities, ordinary workers in factories, students in ivory towers, serious cadres...

People who have come through the years of struggle are very sensitive to this situation.

Colleagues in the editorial department have a premonition that this wave of criticism may not be so easy.

So in the past two days, the air pressure in the editorial office has been very low, and everyone will observe Lin Weimin's state from time to time.

He looked like a normal person. He read the newspaper at noon that day and said to everyone with a smile, "It's quite lively now, movie stars are all imprisoned."

Newspapers published the news that Chi Zhiqiang, a well-known movie actor, was arrested and imprisoned for "hooliganism".

Lin Weimin guessed that the large-scale criticism he received recently may have something to do with this trend.

On the cusp of [-], any small problem could be fatal.

Colleagues saw that Lin Weimin's expression was mostly relaxed and freehand, and their worries were relieved a little.

A few days later, it was the end of the month.

A new force has been added to the army criticizing Lin Weimin, and he is also a heavyweight.

A veteran comrade with deep qualifications contributed to the literary review magazine "Literary Review", entitled "Degeneration and Betrayal in the Contemporary Literary World", criticizing Lin Weimin and "The Lover" at length.

In his article, he openly declared that the prototype of "Guo Yudao" described by Lin Weimin in his novel was a traitorous businessman in old Shanghai.

This kind of slander and accusation is not malicious. If the previous wave of criticism was only full of various online posts, this article has given those who regard Lin Weimin as a "thorn in the eye" and "a thorn in the flesh" a powerful blow. arms.

Look, he is beautifying traitors!

Once this charge is confirmed, the blow to Lin Weimin is likely to be fatal.

This kind of person almost pointed at Lin Weimin's nose and cursed, "Damn you!"

This afternoon, Wan Fang knocked on the door of the editorial department of "Contemporary" after a long absence.

"Sister, why are you here?"

"My dad asked you to eat."

No need to think too much, Lin Weimin also knew that Mr. Wan must be worried about him.

In the evening, I came to Muxidi as scheduled, and when I entered the door, I saw Mr. Wan and his wife busy in the kitchen.

"Teacher, why are you still cooking yourself today?" Lin Weimin asked with a smile.

"Sit down for a while, and eat later!" Mr. Wan said.

"You work all the time, how can there be any reason for me to do it?"

Lin Weimin washed his hands and went to the kitchen to wash the vegetables.

Mr. Wan was cutting potatoes, the blade was cutting on the chopping board, making the sound of "chop chop chop".

"Have you been busy at work recently?" Mr. Wan asked suddenly.

In Lin Weimin's communication and daily chat with him, this kind of sentence pattern rarely appears.

"It's okay, that's it, those jobs."

After a while, Mr. Wan asked again: "Have you heard all the criticisms outside?"

This is the point of Mr. Wan calling Lin Weimin today.

"I have listened and read it."

"How do you feel?"

Lin Weimin shook the freshly washed cabbage slices, and drained the water in the basin, "How do you feel? Listening to cricket crickets, don't you plant the land anymore?"

Hearing Lin Weimin's words, Mr. Wan couldn't help laughing, "It seems I'm worrying too much!"

Lin Weimin said, "Thank you teacher for your concern."

After pondering for a moment, Mr. Wan said, "I wrote an article and plan to publish it in a newspaper."

Lin Weimin knew that this must be another way to protect himself from the wind and rain.

"I can't always let you take action every time. As a student, I can't always hide under your wings."

"What? The wings are stiff, do you want to fly out?" Mr. Wan feigned anger.

"Look at what you said. When will I be your next boy!" Lin Weimin pretended to be obedient.

"Come on this!"

The teacher and the student joked a little, but Lin Weimin still resolutely refused Mr. Wan's offer of help.

At any rate, he has been in the literary world for a few years. Lin Weimin has long been used to the ups and downs in the public opinion field, and he just has a normal heart for criticism from the outside world.

Literary creation, good or bad, is judged by readers.

Jumping out of the scope of literature, those vicious attacks with malicious intent are the ones that hurt him the most.

But these attacks are precisely the ones he is most powerless to counter. Even if Mr. Wan takes action, it cannot eliminate the bad influence brought about by those remnants of the past.

They hoped that such attacks and slanders could drag Lin Weimin down and into the quagmire, just like those cases they tried repeatedly in the past.

The big difference between this turmoil and the one in "Farewell My Concubine" is that many people have treated people wrongly, and they did not hesitate to attack Lin Weimin by slandering, slandering, and smearing.

Faced with such a complicated situation, it is not only enough for Mr. Wan to write one or two articles and publish it in the newspaper, it is even more impossible to save Lin Weimin's reputation that was smeared by those people.

Mr. Wan also understood the current situation. Even though Lin Weimin seemed to be fine, he still felt a little worried.

Lin Weimin also saw Mr. Wan's thoughts, and felt a little guilty while being moved.

But more is the resentment towards those villains who maliciously slander, slander, and smear.

After dinner, Lin Weimin said to Mr. Wan: "Teacher, why don't you give me an inscription!"

"Inscription? What is the inscription?"

"Let's just play "Manjianghong"!" Lin Weimin said firmly.

Lin Wei Minguang said the name of a ci brand, but Mr. Wan understood it.

When they came to the study, Lin Weimin was in charge of grinding, and Mr. Wan spread out the rice paper.

Swipe the ink with a big pen, and line it on the cursive paper.

"Small world, a few flies hit the wall.

Buzzing, screaming, and sobbing.

It is easier said than done for ants to exaggerate the country by the locust trees, but it is easier said than done for the mayflies to shake the trees.

The westerly wind leaves Chang'an, flying with dysprosium.

There are many things that are always in a hurry; the world is turning, and time is pressing.

1 years is too long, seize the day and night.

The four seas are churning, the clouds and water are furious, and the five continents are shaken by wind and thunder.

To wipe out all pests, all invincible. "

Appreciating Mr. Wan's calligraphy, Lin Weimin's chest was agitated, full of the same pride as the Taizu back then.

He raised his head to look at Mr. Wan, but he had a flattering expression on his face, "Teacher's handwriting is really as good as Yan Liu's, and he went straight to the second king!"

Mr. Wan couldn't laugh or cry, and scolded with a smile: "You bastard, you still have the mind to play tricks!"
