1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 437 Aba Alai
In the evening of the next day, Lin Weimin and Tong Zhonggui held a banquet in Quanjude to entertain Comrade Alai, a friend from the southwest region.

Alai is a Tibetan. He became a teacher after graduating from a normal school. He began to write poetry in 82. Last year, he was transferred to the "Grassland" affiliated to the AB State Literature Bureau as an editor.

Seeing Lin Weimin, a famous writer all over the country, Alai was a little nervous and shy at first.

Recently, the news about Lin Weimin winning the American Literature Award again has spread widely. This is not the first time that Lin Weimin has been recognized by a foreign literature award.

In Alai's view, at least among these contemporary writers, Lin Weimin should belong to the only category.

Not only because of the awards and honors he has received, but also because of his work.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the few people gradually warmed up, and Alai also showed his true temperament.

Lin Weimin is an average drinker and never persuades others to drink, but Alai never needs to be persuaded to drink. He is a Tibetan, loves to drink and has an amazing capacity for alcohol. He often wants to drink a glass of wine when he is happy after a few words.

After more than half an hour, I drank six or seven taels of white wine, but I didn't look drunk at all. Instead, I felt more sober as I drank, and my eyes were bright.

"I like your book "Tao Ma Ren" the most. It is very interesting. It is very similar to the customs and habits of our southwestern region. I am a Tibetan and I can't fault it." Alai said to Lin Weimin .

Lin Weimin laughed, "To get such an evaluation from you, a Tibetan, is worthy of the information I checked."

Alai muttered: "Is it all about looking up information? I thought you had lived with us!"

Lin Weimin smiled, and Tong Zhonggui said: "Mr. Lin's creative attitude is very rigorous, and he will check all the materials involved in writing, not only "Tao Ma Ren", but also when writing "Da Ming Dynasty 1566". It’s overwhelmingly diverse.”

Many of the materials consulted in "Da Ming Dynasty 1566" were handled by Tong Zhonggui, and he has the right to speak.

Alai said: "I really envy writers like you who can write novels by looking up information, but I can't."

"For full-time writers, creation is a process of constantly consuming self-reserve. Only by constantly collecting creative materials can we support our creation.

You have lived in the Southwest since childhood. You Tibetans have a lot of oral literature in history. These are the nutrients for your creation. There are too many things to write. "

Lin Weimin's words are very suitable for Alai's appetite. His creations are always improvised, full of the unique freedom of Tibetans.

This kind of freewheeling also allowed him to experience the joy brought by creation, but it was Lin Weimin's well-regulated writing style that made him feel aggrieved and uncomfortable.

"Mr. Lin, you are right. I heard you say that you need to make outlines, outlines, and materials to write a novel. I feel bored. I don't even know what my novel will look like before I start writing. How can I How did you come up with these things?" Allai said.

The desk work in which he writes impatiently is not a matter of contempt for such things, but of nature.

This thing has advantages and disadvantages. When he was a fledgling, because of the nourishment brought to him by the environment in which he grew up, these were not problems.

But when literary creation really enters the deep water area, it is often these meticulous desk work that determine the final quality of the work.

In the words of later talk show actors: who hasn't written a good joke for 5 minutes a year.

According to the experiences of some 30 to [-] years of life, many writers often burst out with amazing creativity in the early stages of creation.

But as time goes by, we will find that many writers are exhausted after passing the initial stage, or even exhausted.

After listening to Lin Weimin's opinion, Alai nodded. Although he didn't like this way of creation, he knew that what Lin Weimin said was right.

Several people chatted while drinking, and the topic was led to Alai's creation.

He has just turned from poetry creation to novel creation for a short time, and he has no experience. When chatting, Lin Weimin's occasional sentence or two can often give him a feeling of enlightenment.

"You just mentioned the unique 'toast culture' in your place. I think there is a lot of room for exploration. You can try to write it later, and send us the finished product to have a look." Lin Weimin said to Alai.

Lin Weimin's words were a kind of draft request in disguise. Alai was very happy to hear that, and said, "I'll write it when I get back!"

Lin Weimin nodded with a smile. After grinding you for more than half a year, it is finally about to produce results.

Teacher Lin couldn't help sighing in his heart, it is getting more and more difficult to organize manuscripts now!
Alai went to Yanjing for a business trip, only stayed for three days, and returned to Aba two days later.

Lin Weimin told Tong Zhonggui that he must keep an eye on this kid, and he must not be half-hearted and abducted by other publications.

Tong Zhonggui didn't understand Lin Weimin's importance to Alai, but he believed in Lin Weimin's vision. Naturally, Mr. Lin explained that he must keep a close eye on Alai.

Beginning in April, higher authorities required governments and units at all levels to seriously study the two books "Building Socialism with Chinese Characteristics" and "Adhering to the Four Cardinal Principles and Opposing Bourgeois Democracy."

As a publishing unit, Guowen Press was naturally unavoidable.

Cheng Zaochun presided over the meeting and publicized the spirit of the above to everyone.

There was a lot of discussion in the club. Some people wanted to tighten up, while others wanted to let go. I just don't know who is overpowering whom.

Mr. Lin is familiar with major events in the world, 500 years before and 40 years after, and never participates in these discussions.

We have a red heart to the sun!

After the meeting that day, everyone walked out of the meeting room together.

Lin Weimin asked, "What has Comrade Lao Niu been up to lately?"

Since Niu Han finished helping out at the Cultural Association, and returned to the National Cultural Association, he has rarely been on duty. If he can come three days a week, it is considered a lot. It is not easy to see his shadow.

"Write poetry, write prose!" Niu Han replied.

Lin Weimin nodded, and joked: "It's okay. I'm not like those retired old men and old ladies, who always make this recording or that episode!"

"I'll bring this to you when I get together with the big guys later," Niu Han said.

"Hey, Uncle Niu, look at you, I was just joking. You can't do this, and let me offend all the retired old men and old ladies in the club later, which will directly affect my future progress! "

There are many editors in the Guowen Society, and many of them have multiple identities. Those who write novels, essays, poems, and reportage are all well-known outsiders.

Especially among the group of retired seniors, there are many respected seniors in the literary world.

Lin Weimin was right when he said that they "recorded this and that episode". Literati, after retirement, have nothing to do, so they will naturally recall the past and complain occasionally.

"What I mean is to tell them not to hold back when they finish writing by themselves, and post more to your "New Literary Historical Materials". Isn't this a matter of mutual benefit!"

Niu Han snorted, "This is still a human saying!"

After chatting a few meaningless gossips, Lin Weimin went back to the editorial office in the back building.

A few colleagues were talking about a case that had been reported in the newspaper some time ago. A music teacher in Gansu Province, Pei Shutang, was sentenced to seven years in prison for rape and rape of female students.

"This kind of person should be shot immediately!"

"Fortunately for this kid, he didn't catch up with the wave of previous years."

"It's only been a few years, it's really audacious to dare to do this."

When everyone was discussing, they were filled with righteous indignation, and Lin Weimin frowned.

He understands everyone's sense of justice, but as far as he knows, this case is a real case of injustice.

Pei Shutang is the vocal teacher of the cultural center. Because of the flaws in the singing of the student Liu, she was left alone for tutoring before the performance.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, Liu, accompanied by his fiancé, suddenly charged Pei Shutang with rape.

Then Pei Shutang was sentenced to seven years in prison, and the only person who convicted him was Liu's confession.

After being released from prison in 2000, Pei Shutang approached Liu and asked her to admit that she had slandered her. However, Pei Shutang was acquitted in 2011. Only Pei Shutang knew the bitterness and hardship.

For a period of time in later generations, there was a lot of news about this kind of unjust JC case. Lin Weimin even searched the Internet at that time. If he did not search, he would not know.

In addition to Pei Shutang's case, there are many other cases that are similar, without exception, because some scumbags framed the people around them out of some kind of sinful psychology, because of their own absolute weak status, such things Once it happens, even if there is no evidence, this group of framed people will be speechless.

Because what they are facing is not only the law, but also the simple moral concepts in the hearts of ordinary people.

Under the herd mentality, many people don't talk about evidence or evidence, and the Internet in later generations has proved this matter countless times.

Lin Weimin sighed helplessly. This Pei Shutang is not the worst. He has seen one of the worst cases. It was Wang Kangfu, a teacher who was framed and raped by students in the 60s. After serving ten years in prison, he still had to bear the burden. discrimination and humiliation from those around them.

After he was released from prison, Wang Kangfu has been running around, trying to prove his innocence.

And this innocence, he waited for 50 years, until 50, 2016 years after the case happened, the teacher was able to get justice.

A small lie in exchange for half a century of humiliation.

Thinking of the movie and a few real cases he knew, Lin Weimin's good mood just now disappeared instantly.

There are really many animals in this world. They are obviously animals, but they still have to wear human skin, not only human skin, but also the human skin of the weak.

Everyone chatted in righteous indignation without realizing that the object of their anger was just an innocent person.

This feeling made Lin Weimin feel a little aggrieved. He was still sitting in the office until he got off work.

There is a movie "Hunting" in the later generations, which tells the story of the teacher Lucas being favored by the female student Kara because of his kindness and gentle personality. Lucas rejected Kara's confession out of morality in his heart, but Kara refused because of Lucas's refusal. But with a grudge, he lied and slandered Lucas for violating her. Since then, Lucas's life has fallen into hell, and finally lost his life.

A small lie is enough to make a devil and destroy a good person.

Lin Weimin never felt that he was a nosy person, but the aggrieved feeling that he knew the truth but couldn't speak made him feel uncomfortable.

Sitting deeply until it was completely dark, he finally came back to his senses, thought for a moment, spread out the manuscript paper, and removed the cap of the pen on the table, since he couldn't speak, then write it.
