A widower's entertainment

Chapter 162 [Cruel and True] (Please subscribe)

Decheng, Chunfeng Lane.

The rare sunshine in December was shining brightly on the yard. Lin Zhaohuan and Lin Zhaole, who were not at school, and Zhao Wenjie were running around in the yard.

It wasn't Lin Youcheng who was playing with a few carrots, but Zhao Gensheng, who was studying at the First Normal College, and the carrots.

While Zhao Gensheng was taking Carrot Head with him, he was chatting with Lin Youcheng who put down his pen and walked around the yard.

While Lin Youcheng and Zhao Gensheng were chatting, Lin Zhaole, who was running, fell to the ground. When Zhao Gensheng saw that it was Lin Zhaole who was about to hug Lin Zhaole, he was grabbed by Lin Youcheng and pulled Zhao Gensheng to turn his head. Go and pretend not to see it.

Lin Zhaole had just fallen to the ground, his mouth was deflated, and he seemed to be crying in pain, but his eyes were looking at Lin Youcheng, and Lin Youcheng didn't look at him at all.

This made him hesitate for a moment whether he should cry.

Lin Youcheng didn't think what would happen if Lin Zhaole fell. He actually knew that Zhao Gensheng was very concerned about his children falling because of Zhao Wenjie's previous condition, especially when the younger Lin Zhaole fell now. It also made him want to hug her immediately.

Lin Zhaole seemed to have found no one to cry to, so he pursed his lips and got up from the ground again.

Zhao Gensheng somewhat understood why Lin Youcheng wanted to hold him back just now, preventing him from hugging Lin Zhaole who fell to the ground. He smiled and said, "Uncle, you still know better."

"Poetry is very popular in our school now."

Lin Youcheng read the letter from Zha Hailong in his hand. After having contact with Zha Hailong in the capital, Zha Hailong also wrote to Lin Youcheng and kept in touch. He was not like a reader, but more like a reader. They are pen pals, and the letters talk about not only literature, but also Cha Hainan’s plans for the future. Cha Hainan plans to travel far next year.

Lin Youcheng shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He put away the letter sent by Zha Haili, thinking that he would also reply to a letter later.

When Lin Youcheng heard Zhao Gensheng ask this question directly, he just smiled and did not answer directly. Of course, he knew very clearly that Lin Qi had naturally met the person in "War Meridian", the nurse who lived to the end.

In fact, Zhao Gensheng also wanted to know this.

Although it was just a chance encounter between Lin Qi and Gu Xiaomeng in his life.

"Uncle, will the novel you are writing now still have some intersection with Lynch in "The Curious Case of the World"?"

In fact, this question was not only asked by Zhao Gensheng, but also by the authors at the symposium.

In fact, what readers want to know more is whether Lin Youcheng's next published novel after "The Wind" and "My Captain, My Group" will still be the same "The Wonders of the World" that won the Mao Dun Literature Award. There are clues found in "Things".

Zhao Gensheng mentioned that poetry is very popular in school, and said: "Uncle, the novel you wrote is also very popular in our school. Now they are all discussing how much is buried in your "Fairy Tales of the World" A foreshadowing?"

When Zhao Gensheng heard Lin Youcheng talking about his poet friend, he couldn't help but be curious and asked: "Which poet is it?"

Zhao Gensheng also knew that Lin Youcheng had always received letters from readers, but he knew that Lin Youcheng was very slow to read those letters from readers. He would deliberately read the letter like this one as soon as possible, which naturally made Zhao Gensheng I'm a bit curious. If it's not an invitation from a magazine, then whose letter is it?

Zhao Gensheng nodded.

Hearing Zhao Gensheng's words, Lin Youcheng couldn't help but smile.

However, Lin Youcheng was also thinking that every character in "War Meridian" has no real name, including the nurse. He just doesn't know if anyone will find out that the nurse who survived was also in "The Curious Case of the World". Meet Lin Youcheng.

Lin Youcheng walked to a chair nearby and sat down, opening it and reading a letter in his hand. Although it was a letter from a reader, this reader was not an ordinary reader.

Because the second foreshadowing about "My Captain, My Group" in "Wonderful Things in the World" was revealed, on the one hand, countless literature lovers were shocked by Lin Youcheng's creation, and on the other hand, they wanted to I know how many unknown foreshadowings there are in "The Curious Case of the World".

Hearing Zhao Gensheng's words, Lin Youcheng smiled. Of course he knew that in this era of poetry, poetry was of course very popular, but he also knew more clearly that poetry that is so popular now may be dying out, just like——

"Uncle, who wrote you this letter?"

Lin Youcheng looked back and saw that nothing was wrong, then got up and played with Lin Zhaohuan again. He shook his head and smiled and said, "Don't be too nervous if you fall. The same goes for Wenjie."

"Letter from a poet friend."

"Uncle?"

Zhao Gensheng saw what Lin Youcheng was thinking and couldn't help but ask again.

Lin Youcheng came back to his senses, looked at Zhao Gensheng, and said, "If there is really a foreshadowing, how can it be revealed directly?"

As soon as Zhao Gensheng heard Lin Youcheng's words, he immediately realized that there might be some unknown foreshadowing hidden in "The Wonders of the World". This really surprised him, although he had also thought about such a possibility. Sex, but if there were other foreshadowings in "The Strange Case of Humanity", it would be really awesome.

Although Zhao Gensheng didn't know much about literary works before, because of Lin Youcheng's relationship, he has been exposed to literary works after re-entering school. Naturally, there are also novels written by Lin Youcheng.

His classmates all knew that Lin Youcheng's "Wonderful Things in the World" won the Mao Dun Literature Award, and they were all surprised that Lin Youcheng's "Wonderful Things in the World" actually contained "The Wind" and "My Captain, My Regiment". story, but now it seems that it is much more than that!

"Uncle, will your next novel be a war-themed story?"

Zhao Gensheng knew that Lin Youcheng would not directly reveal the foreshadowing of the next novel in "The Strange Things in the World", but he couldn't help but ask about the next novel that Lin Youcheng was writing.

In response to Zhao Gensheng's question, Lin Youcheng nodded.

When Zhao Gensheng saw Lin Youcheng nodded in recognition, he couldn't help but said in his heart: "Actually, our classmates say that your war-themed novels are particularly exciting and true, whether it is "The Wind" and "My Captain, My Regiment", and now A lot of works of fiction are different.”

Lin Youcheng certainly knew what Zhao Gensheng meant by being different. Now in this era of literature, there is a phenomenon of hundreds of flowers blooming in the literary world. Whether it is avant-garde literature, reflective literature, or the emerging root-seeking literature, they are all quite popular.

But it is obvious that Lin Youcheng's two latest novels, "The Wind" and "My Leader, My Regiment," are not avant-garde literature. They have very realistic creative techniques, which are actually somewhat different from mainstream literature now.

You must know that the development of the Chinese literary world is now affected by the trend of the international literary world. At this time, the birth of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and the Nobel Prize for Literature inspired Chinese writers' strong interest in magical realism. Chinese writers learn from and imitating the European literary style of this period was prevalent. Many writers have been inspired by "One Hundred Years of Solitude". In-depth cultivation of national soil can achieve fruitful results. They even draw on Western techniques and combine them with local aesthetics to create.

To really talk about it, Lin Youcheng's "The World" has a bit of magical realism, but it is obvious that although Lynch's life of rejuvenation is fantastic, it is also very close to reality, not to mention Lin Youcheng's later "" "The Wind" and "My Leader, My Group" are fundamentally realistic creations.

This is why Zhao Gensheng said that Lin Youcheng's recently published novels are different from mainstream literary works.

But obviously, even so, not many literary critics have given creative criticism to Lin Youcheng's works, because both "The Wind" and "My Leader, My Group" are quite shocking. The inherent spiritual power of literary works is undoubtedly strong and has far-reaching influence.

Cruel truth may be regarded as a characteristic of the war literature written by Lin Youcheng.

Just like the little girl in "War Meridian" written by Lin Youcheng now, she fell on the cliff in order to attract the attention of the Japanese army. Maybe in other stories, there will be miracles, but in the end there will be no. This is reality, reality There are no miracles here.

Zhao Gensheng really wanted to know what kind of battlefield story the novel Lin Youcheng was writing now was, and what kind of foreshadowing it was in "Wonderful Things in the World", but he also knew that the foreshadowing in literary creation was just like what Lin Youcheng said , should not be revealed in advance.

However, Zhao Gensheng asked other questions.

"Uncle, in which literary magazine will your novel be published?"

Obviously, Lin Youcheng, who has now won the Mao Dun Literature Award, is not a new writer. He is definitely an outstanding and well-known writer in China.

For such a well-known writer, he is naturally the target of magazine invitations. In the literary circle now, the writer Lin Youcheng is definitely quite famous, and many literary workers are quite sure of Lin Youcheng's creative passion.

Many literary workers even believe that Lin Youcheng's power lies in his extraordinary creative fertility and frightening creative ability. After "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", Lin Youcheng's talent has been shown in these two or three years. The years are like bursting through the floodgates, with flying beads and jade flying. Everything comes naturally. A novella of more than 100,000 words is just like exhaling a long breath.

For an excellent writer like Lin Youcheng, after his "blowout", he is like an oil and gas field with rich reserves. Naturally, there will be a lot of editors keeping an eye on his next work.

You know, now the request for a manuscript is also called an order.

Naturally, there will be a lot of editors hoping to order Lin Youcheng's next product, especially now that Lin Youcheng has not always stuck to "People's Literature" and switched to "People's Literature" after "Novel Monthly". Lin Youcheng has published works in "Harvest" and "October" successively. This naturally makes editors of other literary magazines very eager to publish Lin Youcheng's next work, and they are constantly giving Lin Youcheng The letter of invitation is quite sincere.

Zhao Gensheng also wanted to know which literary magazine Lin Youcheng would submit his next novel to.

Hearing Zhao Gensheng ask about this matter, Lin Youcheng smiled. In fact, among the four major celebrity magazines, there are only two literary magazines, "Flower City" and "Contemporary", that he has not been in.

But in fact, he had already received invitations for articles from literary magazines such as "Flower City" and "Contemporary", and there were more than one.

Regarding the submission of the novel he was currently writing, Lin Youcheng had an idea in his mind, but he did not tell Zhao Gensheng directly. He just said: "It may be a different literary magazine."

Zhao Gensheng heard what Lin Youcheng said and asked: "Uncle, actually our classmates also discussed why you voted for "The Wind" and "My Captain My Group" over "Harvest" and "October."

"Why do you think it is?"

Zhao Gensheng thought for a moment, and found that his classmates were indeed discussing this matter, and said, "They think it may be that October and Harvest magazines just grabbed your manuscript."

"Hahaha!"

why?

Lin Youcheng smiled. He just thought about it. He just wanted to let the readers of the four major magazines know what happened in the river during that time.

Some things should be remembered, and some things should be known to more people.

Precisely because some unknown things should be remembered, Lin Youcheng will continue to write that story.

Lin Youcheng returned to the house again, walked to his desk, and continued to climb the grid to write the story about the adults who fell in a pool of blood, and the children who were born in the war had to pick up the guns in their hands.

Even though those children are as tall as guns and miss their mother's arms, they are still fighting.

They looked at this world of flesh and blood with their young and innocent eyes, and helplessly watched their own blood burst out and dye the sky red.

"We were close to our destination. The smart guy took everyone to dig out the mines that had been laid before. The veteran told him that there were enough mines. He walked in the wilderness and said: "One more mine can kill more Japanese." But he stepped on the last buried landmine.

The soldier didn't want to drag everyone down anymore. He raised his arms in the morning light, stood on the city wall and shouted to the veteran: "Go west along the Great Wall..." and jumped off the Great Wall.

In this way, heading west along the Great Wall, the veteran took another child and a nurse to the ambush battlefield. He told the mountain gunner, "I kept you because you are big and can carry the soldier on his back."

On the battlefield, the veteran dragged his legs that had been shot by bullets as he crawled towards the Japanese military vehicle and ignited the landmines on his body. "

……

Lin Youcheng knew very clearly that even after the mission was completed, the surviving children did not survive——

The soldier returned to the team after recovering from his injuries and died in the Battle of Shicun a year later. Shan Pao died in the Battle of Dujiang.

Yes, everything is so cruel and real.
