1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 482
The story began when Lin Weimin went to France to receive the Goncourt Prize for Literature.

At that time, the exchange between the Museum of History and France was very active, and several exchange activities were planned, and the exchange performance of people and arts was one of them.

Another exchange activity is that the Chinese Writers Group visited France at the invitation of the French Ministry of Culture.

In early April, Renyi returned from France after going to France for an exchange performance for half a month, followed by the visit of the Chinese Writers Group. Naturally, the Cultural Association was responsible for this matter.

Before Lin Weimin received the Goncourt Literature Prize, he participated in many activities organized by France. In the activities, Lin Weimin showed his erudition and humor, and countless people in the French literary circles and the public were impressed by his charisma.

To some extent, Lin Weimin represents Chinese writers and left a perfect impression on the French cultural circles, media and public.

Therefore, the French cultural circle attaches great importance to this cultural exchange between China and France, hoping to recreate the effect of Lin Weimin's visit to France last time.

For this reason, the French side has held several reports and symposiums, including meetings with readers and other activities. The French news media have carried out a lot of reports on this, not only among Chinese Chinese in France, but also many ordinary French people. I am very concerned about this group of Chinese writers.

To everyone's surprise, when some of these writers arrived in France, the first thing they thought of was not how to show the demeanor of Chinese literati, the beauty of Chinese culture, and promote cultural exchanges between the two countries. China is critical.

"I encountered a very serious psychological problem in the process of writing novels. I can't get rid of two shadows: one is the astonishing poverty of the land I live in, and the other is that the overall cultural level of our nation is very low."

"It is said that a writer cannot write in this state of mind, but I can't help it...it becomes a psychological factor in my novels."

"We can no longer hang around in this world with our excellent traditions and great culture."

"Chinese writers can't tell the truth, we can't tell the truth."

Most of the people who said these words are famous in China for their creation of "scar literature". This time they came to France and they seemed to have found an outlet to slander China without any scruples or a bottom line.

They traveled thousands of miles, took the country's precious foreign exchange, and went to Paris to slander their motherland. The plot was so bad that even Professor Xu Guangcun from Wandao, who was invited to participate in the event, couldn't stand it anymore.

"After listening to your speech, we shed tears, because from your narrative, people find China so small and despicable. None of you talked about the influence of Chinese culture and Chinese history on you."

"China is poor, but Chinese culture is not poor. Our nation should be praised. Don't forget that you, as writers, should lead the Chinese people forward."

Professor Xu Guangcun's outspoken words did not alert the group of writers. On the contrary, after his speech, several writers stood up and criticized his advice one by one.

Moreover, some people were very loud, and some even stood up from their seats and pointed at Xu Guangcun to question him.

Obviously, the real interest of this group is not literature, but politics.

Jacqueline Dibois, a French TV reporter who interviewed at the venue, publicly stated on the spot: She was disappointed with the level of these writers, and she would give up interviewing and reporting on them.

The famous French playwright Carrière who presided over the seminar also said: If lies are not allowed, how can literature survive?

Some people in the audience also said: Fictional plots in literature are actually lying.

Facing a situation that even the French media and audience can't stand it, this group of writers did not reflect on their own problems, and continued their perverse arguments.

After the event, the "European Times" truthfully reported the content of this event in the form of a feature article.

When they learned that the reporter who wrote the report was a China News Agency reporter stationed in France, the group of writers even reprimanded the reporter for not reporting their speech at the event, and threatened to find the supervisor Hu XX after returning to Beijing, and transfer the reporter to Beijing. back home.

This group of people kept saying that they had been persecuted and wanted the Chinese government and the Chinese people to reflect, but when they faced dissent, they behaved more brutally than anyone else.

What an ironic farce!

The nature of the writers' visit to France is unprecedented.

The French people who participated in the event publicly criticized after the meeting: "This group of Chinese writers is small-minded and has a bad temperament. They can't listen to different opinions. They keep saying that they want democracy and freedom, but they don't know how to discuss issues democratically."

The Overseas Chinese Club in France also expressed that they did not understand the remarks of this group of writers.

Many French scholars criticized: "Didn't they say that they came to France to experience the democratic atmosphere? France allows all kinds of different opinions to be expressed."

A reporter from a Hong Kong newspaper in Paris said that they have repeatedly said that there is no freedom of the press in China. Are they telling the truth here?Why should someone be attacked for reporting objectively and truthfully when someone disagrees with them?

Some people even said after learning that individual members of the delegation threatened to withdraw the reporters who wrote articles for the "European Times" to the country, it is fortunate that these people have not yet taken power, otherwise the Chinese would suffer even more.

Not many people know about the news from the Cultural Association. This visit to France was undoubtedly a failure, and the impact it caused was extremely bad. The Cultural Association is also covering up, but they can't hide it from Lin Weimin. The product of Lin Weimin's visit to the law.

After Lin Weimin learned the ins and outs of the matter from the Literary Association, he was also indignant at the wanton behavior and bottomless behavior of these writers.

He angrily dialed the phone number of the Cultural Association, and he just gave out to Zhang Guangnian.

"Cover up the cover? Why cover the cover? Is your literary association going to help the evildoers?"

"The broad masses of people and readers in China have the right to know the truth of the matter, and we also have the responsibility to provide the situation and materials in this regard to the people of our country."

"This group of people took the country's precious foreign exchange and ran abroad to speak out. What kind of behavior is this? It's disgusting!"

"The people in your Cultural Association are all the emperor's daughters? Can't you say? Can't touch it?"

In the face of Lin Weimin's full firepower, Zhang Guangnian's defense seemed pale and weak.

The writers who can be sent abroad for interviews undoubtedly have some achievements and reputations, and their literary association can't be too harsh, they can only find ways to make peace.

"They have just left the country, and their minds are still full of officialdom, big pots of rice, and wrongful convictions, and they just get angry and complain."

When Lin Weimin heard Zhang Guangnian's words, he became even more furious.

"Old Zhang, if your literary association has this attitude, I have nothing to say. From now on, I will withdraw from the Chinese literary association, and you will send someone to pick up the application for resignation in the afternoon."

After speaking, Lin Weimin hung up the phone.

At this moment, heads sprouted like mushrooms after rain in the corridor of the back building.

Fierce voices erupted in Lin Weimin's office just now. This is an extremely rare situation. Everyone knows that Lin Weimin has always had a good temper and never blushed with others, let alone such a fierce quarrel.

Words such as "covering the lid", "artistic association", and "foreign exchange" made everyone even more curious, and they didn't understand what they heard. They were so itchy that they wanted to rush into Lin Weimin's office.

"What's the situation?"

"I don't know, it must be related to the Cultural Association."

"Nonsense, who are you going to inquire about?"

"Go at this time, aren't you looking for scolding?"

A group of people were talking with their heads raised, when they saw Lin Weimin walking out of the office with an ugly face, the group of people shrank their heads immediately in fright.

Lin Weimin took a walk in the courtyard, his anger subsided a little, and he went back to work in the office.

Just after lunch at noon, Zhang Guangnian took Zhang Qi to the Guowen Society.

In the morning, Lin Weimin threatened to withdraw from the Cultural Association on the phone, but he was very worried.

Now Lin Weimin is a signboard of Chinese literature to the outside world. If he quits the Association, the impact will be too great.

When the news got out, both the government and the people had to ask, why did Lin Weimin withdraw from the Cultural Association?

How should the Association respond?There is no way to answer!
As soon as you say everything, you can't cover anything.

"For the people, you have to understand us. What they did was a little too much, but our Cultural Association is not a law enforcement agency after all."

"Tell me, if we deal with them now, won't they have more weird words?"

"Besides, what we hear now are all one-sided stories, just complaints from a few people."

……

Both Zhang Guangnian and Zhang Qi are old acquaintances of Lin Weimin, and they came to the door hand in hand, persuading him earnestly.

Lin Weimin also understood that the two of them were planning to make a fool of themselves, but their ultimate goal was to make this matter smaller and smaller.

It's understanding, but when he thinks of these shitty things about the Cultural Association, he can't help but get angry again.

"Whether you like to deal with these people or not has nothing to do with me. I'm retiring from this meeting. I'm ashamed to be with this group of people!" Lin Weimin said decisively.

His attitude was firm, no matter how much Zhang Guangnian and Zhang Qi persuaded him, he would not waver.

Lin Weimin is the signboard of the Chinese Cultural Association, and the group of people who visited France are also the backbone of the literary associations everywhere, with fleshy palms and backs.

"For the sake of the people, I have a heartless request!" Zhang Qi said with embarrassment.

Needless to say, Lin Weimin could guess that he just wanted him not to make a big deal out of it.

Lin Weimin sneered, "Aren't you afraid to tell the truth? Zhang, we are also old acquaintances, and there are two acquaintances of mine in the writer group. Don't some of them say they want to tell the truth? Don't they want to seek truth from facts? Why are you afraid? What are they saying abroad? What are they afraid of?"

Zhang Qi was so stunned by Lin Weimin that he was speechless, and he tried to persuade him dryly, "They're all my own..."

"Eating Chinese food and smashing Chinese pot, is this called your own?"

Lin Weimin frowned coldly, "It is because of my own people that I am more distressed. In the past few years, they alone suffered misfortune? Who is not covered in bruises? It has been 88 years now, and they have been scolding for more than ten years, and they have enjoyed it. After more than ten years of courtesy, how long are they going to make trouble?
Do we want the whole nation to accompany them to rot in self-pity?Now that the country is finally on the right track, there are still so many difficulties to face, and so many people are still below the poverty line, why can't they see it?Are the pens of our literati just to vent our little dissatisfaction and resentment in our hearts? "

When Lin Weimin spoke, he was furious, and he didn't care about it at all, making Zhang Guangnian and Zhang Qi embarrassed.

In fact, the two also understood that what Lin Weimin said made sense.

But if some things are put in the collective, it is easy to become like this, and it becomes a mess.

"Hey!" Zhang Guangnian sighed, with a bit of sadness on his face, "Wei Min, we all understand your feelings. Now that you have made up your mind, we won't persuade you anymore. I just hope you can understand our The difficulty, the difficulty of understanding the association. After all..."

Lin Weimin shook his head, "It's all about understanding, but it's not a good thing to go on like this."

Zhang Guangnian and Zhang Qi looked at each other silently, so why didn't they know?
