1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 887 People are united, Mount Tai is moved

A scholar of letters has a confidante by his side. We Chinese have always been tolerant, but when Xiaomi came to seek out her rightful master to show off her power, Wang Shuo cannot escape the blame.

Now he and Xu Cairen broke up. Shen Xujia divorced him and took her daughter to the United States. This guy came to the airport to pretend to be pitiful, which failed to attract any sympathy. Instead, he was scolded.

Shen Xujia went abroad, and Wang Shuo was completely done with it this time.

In the next few days, Lin Weimin heard Feng Xiaogang say that this guy seemed to have lost his soul and was confused all day long. Fortunately, the script of "A Sigh" had been written long ago, otherwise it would have been too delayed.

"A Sigh" is Wang Shuo's "Helter Skelter". This movie tells the story of a middle-aged man's love affair with his wife and his lover. It is quite in line with Wang Shuo's current state of mind.

In mid-June, the World Cup in France is in full swing.

The domestic climate is somewhat unusual. Recent heavy rains in Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake have caused a rapid increase in water flow in the Yangtze River. Affected by the combined effects of upstream water and tidal waves, the tidal level along the river in JS Province is gradually approaching the warning level.

On the last day of mid-term, the Chinese Literature Society held a reader meeting for Zhang Chunru in the new Yanjing Library.

Holding the readers' meeting at the Yanjing Library is not only the result of the arrangement of the Chinese Literature Society, but also shows the official recognition of Zhang Chunru.

On the day of the readers’ meeting, it rained again in Yanjing, but this did not hinder the readers’ enthusiasm for participating in the readers’ meeting.

Yanjing Library has specially opened a public area for today's readers' meeting. Around nine o'clock in the morning, the place was already full of readers who came to attend the meeting.

Since the publication of "Jinling Massacre: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War II", it has aroused great repercussions in American society. As a result, Zhang Chunru has continuously received various intimidations and threats from right-wing forces.

Especially on April 4 this year, Kunihiko Saito, Ambassador to the United States, publicly criticized Zhang Chunru's book by name at a press conference, accusing the book of containing many extremely inaccurate descriptions and one-sided statements.

In the face of countless external pressures, Zhang Chunru was very determined and did not flinch at all.

Today’s protagonist is Zhang Chunru. Listening to her speaking in unskilled Chinese on the stage about the creation process of "Jinling Massacre: The Forgotten Catastrophe of World War II" and her experiences after the publication of the novel, many in the audience were moved.

"Kunihiko Saito's remarks are extremely ridiculous and irresponsible. I wrote an article in Time Magazine expressing my willingness to have a televised debate with him, but I have never received a response from him.

I will not give up the action of criticizing and reversing his wrong remarks and thoughts. I also hope that my book can be read by more Chinese people, Nihong people, and people from all countries in the world, so that everyone can understand it. this history. "

When Zhang Chunru finished speaking, the readers in the audience burst into applause.

After the meeting, Lin Weimin asked Zhang Chunru: "Has Saito Kunihiko not accepted the challenge yet?"

"No," she replied.

In April this year, Kunihiko Saito publicly criticized the book "Ginling Massacre: The Forgotten Catastrophe of World War II" at a press conference. Immediately, the WJ departments of the two countries fell into a war of words over this matter. Saito, on the other hand, Kunihiko, the instigator, remained silent during this period.

"You little devil is so shameless!"

Lin Weimin suddenly cursed. Zhang Chunru was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. This was different from the Lin Weimin she had been exposed to.

"Sorry, I couldn't control it at the moment."

He added: "They won't understand when scoundrels like little devils talk to them in human language. I have a way..."

"any solution?"

"I plan to buy some of your books and distribute them to students in the United States for free."

"This is a good idea." Zhang Chunru praised.

"Buy 10 copies first and distribute them to everyone on university campuses in the United States." Lin Weimin said.

Zhang Chunru looked surprised, "10 copies? That's close to a million dollars!"

"As long as I can expose the hypocrisy of the little devil, it's nothing to spend this little money."

Zhang Chunru pondered and said, "How about this? I'll give you the authorization and you can find someone to print it. This way you only need the cost of printing and binding."

Lin Weimin waved his hand, "This won't work, it will end your livelihood. This little money is nothing to me."

Faced with Lin Weimin's inhumanity, Zhang Chunru was speechless, saying that a million dollars was just small change.

In the next ten days, Zhang Chunru took her book to several major cities in China to attend reader meetings, book signings, and speeches. As a result, she appeared on TV and newspapers many times. Zhang Chunru’s name and the image gradually became widely known, and the sales of "Jinling Massacre: The Forgotten Catastrophe of World War II" continued to rise.

During this period, the flooding problem in the southern region intensified. Flood disasters broke out in JX and HUN provinces. As the impact of floods gradually expanded, many cities in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River were affected.

The Yangtze River Basin, Songhua River Basin, Min River tributaries, Pearl River Basin and other places were the most severely affected by extreme weather. By the end of June, heavy rains of high intensity and wide range occurred in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and floods occurred one after another.The government's flood relief work has already begun. In times of crisis, the people's soldiers are on the front line of flood relief. Various news reports on TV and newspapers are heart-wrenching. The hearts of the entire Chinese people are affected by this unprecedented flood. Affected.

According to preliminary statistics from the government, many provinces across the country, including the four hardest-hit provinces, Jiangxi, Hunan, and Hubei, have suffered varying degrees of flood disasters. The affected population has exceeded 1 million, hundreds of people have died, and direct economic losses have exceeded 200 billion yuan, hundreds of thousands of people were displaced.

If floods continue to spread in the future, losses will increase.

On the last day of June, the Chinese Literature Society held a general meeting with only one theme - flood relief.

For the Chinese Literature Society in Yanjing, there is not much they can do. The simplest and most direct way is to donate money.

Lin Weimin knocked on the table, "Let's talk about it, how much to donate?"

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke. At this time, if he spoke too little, he would be scolded, and if he spoke too much, he would be suspected of talking nonsense.

"Don't say anything? Okay, I'll say it then." Seeing that everyone was silent, Lin Weimin took the initiative to speak, "Let the company donate 1500 million! The employees do not make any requirements. Each family's situation is different. It is based on the principle of voluntariness."

He is the leader of a society, and with his final decision, no one has any objections.

"Okay, let's do it like this. Let's go back and mobilize employees to donate. This matter must be implemented before get off work today. No matter how much employees donate, I will collect 3000 million and send it to the disaster area as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, the conference room exploded.

Good guy, the president's move is more than 1000 million!

The Chinese social media company donated 1500 million for its great cause. How much can the employees donate?The rest of the money still has to be covered by the president?This is more than 1000 million!

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that the president of the Chinese Literature Society may not necessarily have money, and things suddenly make sense.

Embarrassed!

What a shame!
"Hurry and get down to business, why are you wasting your time here?"

Seeing everyone talking non-stop, Lin Weimin began to chase people away.

Not long after, the news of the donation for flood relief spread throughout the Chinese Press. At the same time, the news that President Lin donated more than 1000 million yuan also topped the top trending news of the Chinese Press today.

However, the people in the Chinese Literature Society were gossips, and they still had some awareness at the critical moment. After the leaders of various departments went back and announced the donation, everyone donated enthusiastically.

I didn't even go to work, I just rode my bicycle or motorcycle home to get my bankbook, and fished reasonably.

As of 5 p.m., all employees of the Chinese Literature Society had raised a total of 1085727 yuan in donations.

Chinese Literature Society, Tongwen Society, Wenhua Film and Television, Wencheng Film and Television, Tiantian Changting, National Literature Printing House...

The total number of employees of the Chinese Literature Society and its affiliated units exceeds 1500, including retired employees, less than 2000. On average, the donation amount of 108 million yuan, each employee’s donation amount is close to 700 yuan, which is already more than many employees in one month The salary is much higher.

The company donated 1500 million yuan, and the employees donated 108 million yuan. Lin Weimin said that he had to raise 3000 million yuan, but there was still about 1400 million yuan left, and he had to make up for it all by himself.

That night, it was supposed to be time to get off work, but the lights of Bank of China Yanjing Branch were on.

The Chinese Literature Society has connected with the governments of the four provinces most affected by the disaster. The Chinese Literature Society’s donation of 3000 million will be divided into four equal parts and directly remitted to the accounts of the provincial governments as special funds for flood fighting and disaster relief.

The Yanjing branch was busy contacting banks and government personnel from various provinces, and Lin Weimin was also busy answering phone calls of thanks from various provinces.

The donation from the Chinese Literature Society was a timely gift to these provinces. Although the money was only a drop in the bucket for the disaster, the key was to make a good start and also play a positive role in flood prevention and relief publicity work.

In addition to calls from various provinces, Lin Weimin received calls of praise from leaders of several departments, including propaganda and civil affairs, the next day.

Since the floods, the domestic fundraising and relief work has just started. Both the scale and the amount of donations in various places are not large. This donation from the Chinese Literature Society has become the largest donation to date.

That evening, the news that "Chinese Literature Society donated 3000 million yuan to provinces affected by floods" appeared in the "Xinwen Lianbo" column, attracting the attention of TV viewers across the country.

The next day, "People's Daily", "Global Times", "Economic Daily" and many other print media also reported the news one after another. In the following days, the news remained hot, with TV, newspapers, Internet forums...

With the arrival of July, the floods have become more severe. The Chinese Literature Society’s donation of 3000 million has served as a starting point for the domestic flood relief fundraising activities. Fundraising activities have continued to rise in various places, and all walks of life and the broad masses of the people have responded.
