Chapter 1031 Xi Jin's gossip about the past

Zhang Zhong's Dragon Boat Festival was celebrated in Jinling.

According to their Jiangyang customs, since he and Xu Yuhan are already engaged, they will go to Xu Yuhan's natal home for the Dragon Boat Festival in the future.

Zhang Zhong went to Jinling for the festival, following the custom, but it was slightly different, this time they were accompanied by their parents and Pengpeng.

Xu Wenxuan and his wife also took the initiative to invite them. They said that they are both only children now, so there is no need to insist on that, and it will be more lively if they can celebrate the festival together.

"I read the news that the director of "Sophie's World" is Xi Jin?" Before eating, Xu Wenxuan and Zhang Zhong suddenly brought up this matter when they were chatting in the living room.

Zhang nodded and said, "I didn't expect you to remember Xi Jin. He was just an undergraduate student at the time. You taught so many students. I thought you couldn't remember him."

Xu Wenxuan said with a smile, "I have taught a lot of students, and of course not everyone can remember them, but Xi Jin is always impressive."

"Oh, is that so?" Zhang Zhong asked curiously.

He didn't have much contact with Xi Jin, so he only knew his film style. As for Xi Jin's behavior, Zhang Chong really couldn't draw a conclusion.

Xu Wenxuan nodded and said, "Yes, the time I was more impressed was when they were in the first semester of their senior year, and their undergraduate courses should be almost over. One day, when I was teaching on the podium, Xi Jin Suddenly stood up and asked."

"It seems that what he asked was not an ordinary question." Zhang Chong said with a smile.

"Well, it's really not ordinary. He asked me, Mr. Xu, is today's me and tomorrow's me the same?"

"Oh, very interesting question." Zhang Zhong asked with great interest, "Then how did you answer him?"

"I told him very straightforwardly, no." Xu Wenxuan said.

"Then what did he say?" Zhang Zhong asked.

Xu Wenxuan took a sip of tea, his eyes were full of memories, "He asked me again, if a girl rejects his confession, it is because today's him is not the same as tomorrow's him, today's he may love her, but not It means that tomorrow's he still loves her, what should he do?"

"It's a very garrulous question. I guess he has a relationship problem?"

"Is there any need to guess, the girl he mentioned is also in his class." Xu Wenxuan said.

"Then how did you answer? Did you tell him what to do?" Xu Yuhan asked this time.

Xu Wenxuan shook his head, "I'm just a philosophy teacher, not a master of feelings. I can't give him an answer. If a girl asks me such a question, I'm afraid I can't answer it either."

Xu Yuhan shrugged his shoulders, "What's so difficult about it, if you like it today, stay together today, and break up if you don't like it tomorrow."

Xu Wenxuan glanced at his daughter, curled his lips and said, "You are looking at the problem from the perspective of a bystander. If you follow the girl's logic, if you don't like it today, it doesn't mean you won't like it tomorrow. If you don't like it for a minute, it doesn't mean you won't like it tomorrow." If you don’t like it for 1 minute, you can’t split and close hundreds of times a day because of this matter. Humans are not machines, if you want to turn it off, just press a button.”

Xu Yuhan also pursed her lips, she really didn't feel backache while standing and talking.

"Then did Xi Jin get together with that girl?" Xu Yuhan asked.

Xu Wenxuan shook his head, "I don't know, I still want to ask you this matter, is he married now?"

"Probably not." Zhang Zhong said.

"Well, maybe they didn't get together in the end, or maybe they were already together, but they are still struggling with whether they will love each other tomorrow, so they have never been married." Xu Wenxuan said.

"So that's why you're so impressed with Xi Jin?"

"This is just one of the things that impressed me deeply. Xi Jin is very passionate. Whether it is life or study, his emotions are always very high. When talking to him, you can feel his romanticism full of every cell. Generally students who study philosophy are rather boring, but he is completely different, like a person living in a book, I always think he can do something unusual."

Zhang Zhong smiled and said, "It seems that Xi Jin has changed a lot in the past few years. The Xi Jin you mentioned just now is somewhat different from the Xi Jin I saw. He is more restrained now, but when it comes to artistic expression, I have the same opinion as you. His artistic expression is full of passion and personal color. This special color makes him stand out from ordinary people. This is why I like him and put "Sophie's World" The reason for giving it to him, I hope he can bring me something different."

Xu Wenxuan nodded and said, "I believe he will not let you down. Of course, I am also looking forward to the movie "Sophie's World". I think after this movie comes out, there will definitely be more people interested in philosophy. It may have had a greater impact than when the novel "Sophie's World" came out."

"I think so too."

"Well, I hope Xi Jin will not disappoint us. By the way, you will be going to France in a few days." Xu Wenxuan mentioned the matter of the visiting group again.

Zhang Chong said with a smile, "The word "going envoy" is too solemn. I just went to France with some friends to do some literary exchanges."

"You should also pay attention. Although you have a relatively high reputation in France, not everyone is happy that you won the Goncourt Literature Prize. There must be many people in France who have opinions on you because of this matter. This literary exchange , maybe someone will make things difficult for you." Xu Wenxuan reminded.

"I know this, but it should not be a big problem. This time we will go to France to meet some old friends of mine in France, such as Hoklan. They will not make things difficult for us. And I am not afraid of making things difficult. That's it." Zhang Zhong said with a cool face.

Literary exchange missions are not the same as diplomatic missions. Diplomatic missions have some political considerations, but literary missions only need to keep their feet on literature.

If someone came to pick things up with different literary opinions, Zhang Zhong and the others could ignore them at all, because literary opinions don't need to persuade the other party at all.

For example, the struggle of literary schools in Huaxia is so fierce, but in such a fierce quarrel, no one says who is noble and who is inferior. Basically, the discussion is based on mutual respect.

Of course, the matter between Wang Yi and Li Siqi is not only a matter of literary genres, but also because Wang Yi doesn't like Li Siqi's character.
