Back to 80: My literary life

Chapter 186 The young robot named Wall-E

Fang Minghua, who was thousands of miles away, naturally didn't know that the "Solar Catastrophe" inspired the science fiction master's classic work to be born in advance.

He went to work during the day and still reviewed poetry manuscripts from all over the country, and at night he continued to write science fiction novels in his dormitory.

In Yang Xiao’s words, you are extending the life of science fiction novels.

Then I will make it longer and stronger!

The small courtyard was very quiet after get off work. Fang Minghua wrote hard with the door closed. Since he bought a desktop electric fan with his own money, he no longer has to fan the cattail leaf while typing.

Of course, placing an enamel cup of Longjing in front of your desk is a must.

The tea was given by Li Li.

After the girl knew that Fang Minghua liked to drink Longjing, she asked her grandfather in Hangzhou for two pounds. Anyway, the family grew tea.

The door was knocked open, and Song Tangtang walked in carrying a schoolbag.

Fang Minghua was a little surprised:

"Tangtang, don't you have to go to night university tonight? Why do you have time to come over?

"I'll go there later, take a look at this."

Song Tangtang took out a newspaper from his schoolbag and handed it to Fang Minghua.

It turned out to be a state-run newspaper. There was an article in it that severely criticized Fang Minghua's "Solar Catastrophe" for being too pessimistic about the future of mankind. Finally, he said:

If the sun really goes out, wouldn’t our great motherland also cease to exist? Then wouldn’t the ideal we strive for come to nothing? How can such novels educate young people? ! "

Fang Minghua took it over and looked at it carefully, and actually laughed: "The writing is good, why is it only sent to the Junior and Middle School Newspaper?"

"Why, you still want to appear in Guangming Daily or People's Daily?" the girl couldn't help but asked.

Fang Minghua laughed loudly after hearing this and said:

"Of course I don't hope, but even if something happens it's nothing, at worst I'll quit my job, then I'll go to Xiangjiang to write a novel!"

Huh, that’s it again!

Song Tangtang was angry and anxious.

Why does he think that things that are big in the eyes of others are trivial?

"My mother talked about you during lunch today." Song Tangtang changed the topic and said suddenly.

"What did you say about me?"

"You said you have no worries at all. Can you be like Lu Yao and Chen Zhongshi? Isn't it good to write realistic themes honestly? You can win awards if recognized by the higher authorities. You are better. You started writing about stream of consciousness, and now you have started writing science fiction. , what are you fussing over?"

"Oh my mother-in-law is very resentful towards me." Fang Minghua said, then looked at the girl: "What about you? Do you hope that I will be like that?"

"I like whatever you write." Song Tangtang said: "But I like you better as you are now. Because I think you are doing the right thing now! People must constantly challenge themselves. Marx once wrote in the first edition of "Das Kapital" The last paragraph of the preface says:

"I welcome any truly scientific criticism. As for the so-called prejudices of public opinion, which I have never yielded to, I still abide by the motto of the great Florentine poet: Go your way and let people tell you!"

Yes, Not Bad.

As expected, she is my girlfriend and supports me wholeheartedly.

"Tangtang, I will talk to your mother when I have time to dispel your mother's worries. In fact, it is nothing. Science fiction is not a scourge, and some people's words are not always wise. Don't be afraid. Guangming Daily was not Published a review praising "Country Teacher"?"

Indeed.

Just four days ago, Guangming Daily suddenly published a review of Fang Minghua's novel "Village Teacher".

The article reads: "All the praise you can think of for teachers cannot compare to this novel:"

What compliments can you think of for a teacher?

The world is filled with peaches and plums?

Learn to be a teacher and behave as a model for the world?

The spring silkworm's silk will not be used up until it dies, and the wax torch's tears will not dry until it turns to ashes?

Yes, these are all high praises for teachers, but none of them can compare with today's "Country Teacher"!

At the end of the article, it is said that although it is just a novel, it makes us realize that "no matter how hard it is, we can't hurt our children, and no matter how poor we are, we can't poor education." This sentence is definitely not just empty talk.

The article seems to be avoiding something. The word "science fiction" is not mentioned throughout the article, but it is full of words of praise for the profession of teachers.

But as one of the well-known official media can publish positive comments on science fiction novels, this itself implies a certain affirmation!

Therefore, Fang Minghua is not very worried about this issue.

The spring of literature has arrived.

"Tangtang, the editor-in-chief of "Science and Literature" once said on the phone that I am a science fiction writer, so I will continue to be more solid and read this article I wrote about robots falling in love."

"What? Robots can also fall in love?" Song Tangtang's curiosity was immediately aroused and she picked up the manuscript paper.

"Wall-E"!

In 2700 AD, the earth has long been turned into a huge garbage dump by humans, which has reached the point of being uninhabitable. Humans can only migrate to other planets in large quantities, and then entrust a robot garbage cleaning company to clean up the aftermath until the earth's environmental system is restored. Achieve ecological balance.

After humans left, the garbage cleaning company transported the robots WALL-E to the earth in batches and installed them with the only instruction-garbage sorting.

However, as time went by, the robots broke down one after another, and finally there was only one robot named Wall-E, who continued to work diligently in the garbage in this seemingly forgotten corner. Hundreds of years passed in the blink of an eye, and loneliness and loneliness became the eternal themes surrounding him.

However, a sudden arrival of a spaceship broke the peace here. It also brought Eva, a robot dedicated to search missions. When Wall-E experienced hundreds of years of loneliness and finally met another robot, he felt that I seem to be in love with her

This is an animated film originally produced by Pixar Animation Studios, distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, and directed by Andrew Stanton.

The global box office of the film has exceeded 5.3 million U.S. dollars, and it won the 81st Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film.

Fang Minghua found it very interesting to write and film, so he decided to change the plot into a novel.

It is not long, only about 40,000 words. Song Tangtang was fascinated by it. After reading it, he said: "Minghua, the writing is so romantic. I didn't expect robots to fall in love can be so romantic."

"It's a science fiction novel." Fang Minghua was just about to say that it was actually about human love wrapped in the skin of a robot, a typical soft science fiction, when he heard the girl oops.

"Oops, I'm going to be late soon. I have to go to class! Bye."

After saying that, he grabbed his schoolbag and ran outside.

"Slow down and be safe"

Before he finished speaking, Song Tangtang's figure riding the bicycle had disappeared.

Fang Minghua shook his head, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

This tea is good.

Hey, Li Li has finished translating "Country Teacher" and "Sun Catastrophe". Fang Minghua sent the English translations of the two articles to Sun Lizhe, who has already gone to the United States. I wonder if he has helped to submit the manuscript?

It's a pity that I can't see it in my country.
