Entertainment, I really only know a little

Chapter 215 All readers cried miserably... (please subscribe)
"Brothers, do you think Boss Chu Ying can do it?"

"What do you say?"

"I do not know."

"It stands to reason that Chu Ying, the boss, can write book publishing works and online literature works. He should also be able to write pure literature."

"It's one thing to be able to write, but it's another thing to be able to write classics."

"That's difficult. There are no standards for judging pure literature, and in many cases it is not based on readers' preferences. As for what a classic is, it's hard to say."

"So, there's a bit of suspense here."

"Hey, why don't we have any awesome pure literary masters in China?"

"Don't sigh so much. Although the Central Continent is the largest of the five continents and has the largest population, it is impossible to be the best in everything. Sometimes, it is not difficult to accept that you are not as good as them in some aspects. .”

"But I just can't accept it."

"Then there's no way."

Many Chu Ying fans chatted alone.

But although I don’t have absolute confidence in Chu Ying’s new work.

But as a fan of Chu Ying.

Many readers also said so.

No matter what Chu Ying's new pure literature is about, they will read it.

……

A week later, "Alive" was officially released.

Chenyang Publishing House always gives special approval to Chu Ying's new works.

Even if Chu Ying’s new works were not ready for printing before.

But Chenyang Publishing House arranged for the publication of "Alive" as soon as possible.

"Brothers, Chu Ying's new work "Alive" is officially on the shelves. Does anyone want to go with you?"

"What are you going to do?"

"Buy a copy and read it."

"Forget it, I'm not interested in pure literature."

"Brother, I'm still no longer a fan of Chu Ying. I don't support this."

"You can't support everything. What if Chu Ying boss writes a novel later? Should I still support it? Of course, if Chu Ying boss writes a novel, I'm really prepared to support it. But for pure literature, forget it."

"That's fine."

Reader "Gao Jinping" didn't say much.

He also knew.

Genres like pure literature are really not liked by many people.

At least.

Before this work became famous, it was really impossible for him to be as attractive as previous publications and online literature.

But as a loyal fan of Chu Ying.

Gao Jinping believed it.

With Chu Ying's writing skills, even if he writes pure literature, it is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary authors.

to this end.

Gao Jinping came to the bookstore early.

really.

Same as guessed before.

Although Chu Ying's new work has been put on the shelves, not many people have bought Chu Ying's work.

no way.

The industry becomes more and more divided.

Even the writing profession is divided into countless types.

Those who write history may not write about cities.

Those who write about cities cannot write about science fiction.

Those who write science fiction cannot write reality.

I can’t write about romance when I write about reality.

Not to mention, this is pure literature that spans genres.

"Alive."

No matter how others are.

Gao Jinzhang took "Alive" on the bookshelf into his hands.

Gently turning the pages of the book, Gao Jinping planned to take a look first.

The beginning of the novel is about me going to the countryside to collect folk songs.

But the protagonist in the story is not me, but an old man I met.

Then the story becomes, the old man is telling me the story of his youth.

The old man told me that his name was Fugui and he came from a landlord's family. His family used to be very rich, and his wife was also a child of a wealthy family, so he didn't worry about money from birth to marriage and having children.However, Fugui, who has no worries about money, says that he is a prodigal.Eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, everything.In the end, because the family was rich and Fugui had little knowledge, he was tricked by others and lost all his property and fields.

The story does not start with a cheat or something to watch like in an online novel.

Generally, purely literary works like this, whether at the beginning or otherwise, will not use a commercial approach to attract readers.

Therefore, it is difficult for pure literature to sell well.

However, Gao Jinping felt that this "Alive" was okay.

The main thing here is that the writing style of this book is relatively approachable and simple.

of course.

This is also related to Yu Hua’s writing techniques in his previous life.

Yu Hua once told reporters during the interview that he was not highly educated and did not know many words.

He doesn't like to use uncommon words when writing, and he doesn't know many uncommon words.

So many times when you read Yu Hua's novels, you will find that they are not difficult at all, and they seem very approachable.

This is something that many authors fail to achieve.

After all, in many cases.

Almost a lot of people believe that writing requires strong writing skills.

even.

Even some people who are engaged in writing believe that writing is very important for writing.

So in many cases, you will see a lot of literary works, and there is always a suspicion of showing off the writing style.

But actually.

Writing is just the foundation.

Among the three elements of a novel, time, place, and characters, writing has never been a factor.

If you have reached the basics and you can express your thoughts and stories fluently, it will be fine.

As for the writing behind it, it’s just the icing on the cake.

Gao Jinping continued to read.

"Although Fugui was left penniless by the loss, the optimistic Fugui did not feel that this had anything to do with him. However, the death of his father still made Fugui wake up. He decided to start a new life, so he began to wear linen and coarse cloth. He also picked up farm tools and started working like ordinary farmers. But one day, Fugui's mother fell ill, so Fugui was going to the city to ask for a doctor. As a result, an accident happened when he went to the city to ask for a doctor. Fugui was captured and sent to the front line to fight."

Read on.

"Two years later, Fugui returned from the war. When he returned home, he found that his mother had passed away. When he met his daughter on the street, he found that her daughter could not speak. It turned out that her daughter Fengxia was burned to death after a high fever. He was a deaf-mute. In order to let his son Youqing go to school, he gave his daughter to someone else. Soon, his daughter ran back and the whole family was reunited. The leader's wife needed a blood transfusion to give birth to a child, and Youqing was raped by an irresponsible doctor. He died of an overdose of blood, and the leader turned out to be Fugui’s comrade Chun Sheng.”

Seeing this, Gao Jinping's eyes became moist for some reason.

He felt a kind of suffering spreading in his heart.

Just like Fugui.

Although he was born into a landlord's family, what he experienced later was one hardship after another.

The father is dead, the mother is dead, and the son is also dead.

In the end, her daughter did not die, but she became unable to speak or hear, and became deaf-mute.

For a moment, Gao Jinping almost couldn't stand it.If you can't stand it, it doesn't mean that the work is not well written.

I couldn't bear to watch it, but the suffering inside was too depressing, so depressing that Gao Jinping couldn't stand it.

But sometimes, a classic work has such magic power.

Even though he felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, this work still attracted Gao Jinping to continue reading.

"Boss, buy this book."

I haven't finished the book yet.

Gao Jinping was ready to go home and read the rest of the content.

……

After returning home.

Gao Jinping continues reading.

He expected a glimmer of hope in the story.

"Well, Gao Jinping guessed it right. There is always a glimmer of hope after suffering. Facing Fugui who only has one daughter, he and his wife still took good care of her. Until her daughter grew up, they found Fengxia. It was a good marriage. The son-in-law did not despise Fengxia, and her days were gradually looking forward to. But the good times did not last long. Fengxia suffered from heavy bleeding when she was pregnant, and there were only some inexperienced young doctors there. It was not easy to get the old doctor to Please come, but he hasn’t eaten for several days. In an emergency, Fugui quickly bought several steamed buns for the doctor, but after eating, the old doctor was choked to death. The final result was that Fengxia died due to heavy childbirth Bleeding to death, leaving only one son, Fugui thought of all the hardships he had suffered before, so he named the child Kugen."

"It's a pity that the arrival of Kugen did not bring much hope to the family. Later, Fugui's wife, who was already suffering from rickets, became more and more ill and finally died. Son-in-law Erxi worked on the construction site again When the little grandson died, he was crushed to death. Not to mention, in the end, only the bitter roots of the little grandson were left, but the little grandson also died. When the little grandson died, there were still uneaten soybeans in his mouth..."

This is Yu Hua's "To Live".

This novel was adapted into a movie by Zhang Yimou.

One of the leading actors is Ge You and the other is Gong Li.

Compared with the novel, the movie has adapted a lot of content to a certain extent.

For example, the death of Fugui's son was adapted into the movie as being hit by his comrade Chunsheng's car.

In the novel, Fugui's comrade Chunsheng also suffered a series of hardships and committed suicide.

But in the movie, Chunsheng came to Fugui's house with all his savings after his wife committed suicide, saying that he didn't want to live anymore.

Fugui's wife Jiazhen came out and said to Chunsheng, "It's cold outside. Let's go inside and talk."

Before leaving, Jiazhen told Chunsheng, "You still owe our family a life, you must live well."

Although it is not explained in the movie, what happened to "Chun Sheng" later.

But this sentence undoubtedly gave hope to countless viewers.

after that.

inside the movie.

Although Fengxia died of hemorrhage during childbirth, her grandson and his wife survived.

At the end of the film, Fugui said to his little grandson Kugen, you have caught up with the good times, and the days will get better and better in the future.

But the film is a film and the novel is a novel.

All the good and hopeful things in the film have not been able to appear in the novel.

In the novel, almost all of Fugui's relatives died.

What was left in the end?

There is only one cow bought by Fugui.

And Fugui returned the cow and named it Fugui.

"Alive."

"Alive."

Read "Alive" in one sitting.

Gao Jinping could no longer hold back the tears in his eyes at this time, he had completely cried.

In the corner of his mouth, he was unconsciously chanting the word "alive".

……

"Brothers, what is the name of Boss Chu Ying's new book?"

""To Live"."

"What kind of story is it telling?"

"The story is long. You will know after you buy it and take a look."

"It's mainly pure literature, I don't like reading it."

"I think you can give it a try, although I haven't read pure literature before. But this movie is better than many cool novels."

"It looks better, does it look good?"

"It's not pleasant at all. This book is not pleasant at all."

"I'm still watching if I'm not happy."

"Being unhappy doesn't necessarily mean you can't watch it. Being unhappy also has its unpleasant aspects. I can assure you that as long as you finish reading this work, you may have a more mature understanding of life, life, and living. Even, After reading this work, our life experience may increase a lot."

"true or false?"

"Try it if you don't believe me."

Pure literature does not rely on coolness as the selling point of its works.

The selling point of pure literature is its literary and ideological nature.

Although this work "Alive" has just been released not long ago.

But as long as readers have read this work, they will be deeply shocked by the work "Alive".

Although after reading it, many readers may cry in confusion.

"Brothers, is anyone watching "Alive"?"

"Yes, I've already finished watching it. As a grown man, I cried all over the place."

"Me too. When Fengxia passed away, I cried miserably."

"Yes, Fengxia was originally pitiful. She couldn't speak or hear. When she was a child, she dug up a precious sweet potato, but because she couldn't speak, the village boss slandered her as the one who stole her sweet potato. "

"Chun Sheng too."

"If I want to cry, Kugen's death is what makes me cry the most."

"That's right. Kugen had no mother when he was born, and then Erxi took her. After Erxi died, Fugui took care of her. But Fugui was very poor and had nothing to feed the child. Later Kugen fell ill. Fugui made a lot of beans for Kugen. But because he had never eaten beans before, there were so many beans in front of the bed today, and Kugen suddenly ate more beans. As a result, because he ate too much, or It was because I ate too fast and died in the end. In my mouth, there were bitter roots and uneaten beans...Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no more talking, besides I have to cry again. I thought the child might be hope, but the result was, My grandson Kugen is also dead, so what hope is there?"

"Yes, when I saw this, I thought, what's the point of living like this? It wasn't until Fugui bought an old black cow that I began to understand the meaning of living."

The book "Alive" did not have much publicity.

When this book was put on the shelves, all the pure literature in Donglu was still selling well.

but.

Living this book, he has such a different power.

Anyone who has read this book will recommend it to others.

Recommended to everyone he knew.

although.

For them, the book "Alive" is not a happy book.

even.

This is also a work in which the protagonist has suffered countless hardships.

Even more.

When reading, many times you may feel that you cannot bear the sufferings in the story.

But even so.

They made the recommendation anyway.

As for the reason.

There is only one thing, and that is to live.

What is the purpose of living?
There is no why.

Just to live.

If you want to compare the book "Alive" with "The Wandering Wind" of Donglu.

They will say.

Ten "Wandering Wind" books are not as good as one "Living" book.
