Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 364
When an author is famous enough and has enough readers, his works will definitely face various interpretations.

"The Adventures of Chunyu Fen" is definitely a satirical novel, there is no doubt about it, but once readers discover these satirical points, they will use their imaginations to add something of their own to the work.

In this book, Zhang Zhong wrote about a total of 32 countries. Some countries are more focused, such as the country of small people and the country of adults, and some countries are mentioned briefly, such as the country of Nie Er.

Each of these 32 countries has its own characteristics, and these characteristics are magnified by readers.

[This Lilliputian country must be the United States. It was named after the name, Ulanti Country. 】

[Why didn't you say it was England? 】

[I think this Lilliputian refers to the Neon Kingdom. Aren't all the people there short? 】

[So the country of adults is the Netherlands? 】

[Which one is Huaxia? 】

[Huaxia must be a country of gentlemen, Zhang Zhong is from Huaxia. 】

[Your thinking is too narrow, maybe the Lilliputian refers to our China, hypocrisy, treachery. 】

[The banana man upstairs can choose to immigrate. 】

[It's really fragile national pride, can we face up to ourselves? 】

[If Lilliputian refers to Huaxia, then I respect Zhang Zhong as a man. 】

[Hehe, is Zhang Zhong a man and needs your confirmation? 】

[Stop arguing, I think Yunwu Kingdom is France, which fits perfectly. 】

[I beg you all to stop thinking about it, and don’t lose this book. 】

[Upstairs is too careful, this kind of thing will not happen, the book "The Ugly Chinese Man" can be published, what else can't be published? 】

[Actually, such a book is nothing at all, it is better than those [-]-year-olds who talk about their dreams while saying, 'I don't want the rise of a big country, I just want the dignity of a small country'. 】

[Upstairs, your number is gone, talking about the country's affairs. 】

[Pull it down, are you a writer? 】

……

"The Adventures of Chunyu Fen" is very topical, which is also a characteristic of satirical literature.

It is not the first time that Zhang Zhong has been involved in satirical literature. Before that, his "Chameleon" and "Necklace" were very ironic, but in comparison, this time "Chun Yu Fen's Adventures" has a wider range of attacks and a larger target. As a result, readers reacted strongly.

Criticism and satire are of course not the purpose and root of satirical literature. The purpose of satire is more to hope that readers can understand the realistic feelings behind it after understanding the theme.

To point out mistakes is to correct them.

In fact, there is no need to match the countries in the book with the countries in reality. A person is complicated enough, and a country is infinitely more complicated.

If you can see a problem in the book, readers should not think about who they are scolding, but should first reflect on themselves, whether they are doing well or not, and whether they are also the kind of person satirized in the book.

If there is, change it; if not, encourage it.

If the ancestors stayed behind, it would definitely be useful.

Of course, Zhang Chong did not expect that this book would make everyone stand upright or correct themselves. After reading it, many people may just have fun, or just like some netizens are always thinking about which country these countries are alluding to. .

If one person out of a hundred people realizes his own faults, or recognizes the faults of a certain group of people, and actively changes them after reading this book, that is a meritorious deed by Zhang Zhong.

On the third day after "Chunyu Fen's Adventures" was released, Huaxia People's Daily Online published a column mentioning this book.

The title of the article is - the value of satirical literature and how to appreciate it.

"Satirical literature aims at a specific event in a specific time period, expresses its views and criticisms in the form of art, and directly hits people's hearts in an artistic atmosphere. The poet deeply feels, enlightens only, and draws attention to social issues. and settlement. It has a strong literary color..."

"Sometimes, satirical literature doesn't just focus on a certain thing. For example, "The Adventures of Chunyu Fen" just released, the author Zhang Zhong is obviously full of ambitions..."

This article from Huaxia People's Daily Online gave a very high evaluation of this "Chunyu Fen's Adventures", and the author's appreciation for this book is revealed between the lines.

Zhang Zhong also saw this article, and looked at the author, he was no stranger, it turned out to be Wang Yi.

In fact, the author of this article is Wang Yi, but Zhang Zhong is not so surprised. After all, compared to Zhuang Yu, Wang Yi, as a representative of scar literature, has an inseparable connection with satirical literature.

After scar literature, there is reflection literature, but there is no clear dividing line between reflection literature and scar literature.

Some people say that, compared with scar literature, reflective literature explores the causes of human tragedies more deeply. Criticism is greater than accusation, reflection is greater than disclosure, and rationality is greater than lyricism.

Wang Yi's literary style tends to be somewhat reflective. In his novels, there are often black humor that makes people laugh, and the ironic passages that are thrown out at random are also shocking.

The most typical one is a book written by Wang Yi when he was 35 years old. It is a novella called "Milk", which tells a past event in a special period.

Different from ordinary scar literature, this "Milk" is bland throughout, as if nothing is revealed or criticized, but upon closer inspection, the plot is buried in the story.

When Zhang Zhong was chatting with them before, Zhuang Yu also talked about this book. He commented on Wang Yi as "a crooked old man", which means that he is a man with deep thoughts, and he even tells stories in a vague way, which makes people feel uncomfortable. It takes eighteen turns to know what he wants to say.

The old man with bent intestines is Zhuang Yu's joking name. In fact, the outside world still has a high evaluation of the book "Milk". If nothing else, at least it is not clear.

But Wang Yi was not proud of it. At that time, he humbly said that he was too young and too arrogant, and his works were too personalized, ignoring the inner feelings of ordinary readers.

"Milk" is a clever novel, this is Wang Yi's own evaluation.

Probably he really thinks so. In his later works, when he satirizes and exposes, he is much more straightforward, but not as cryptic as he was when he was young.

Zhang Chong had just finished reading Wang Yi's article when Lin Lin called.

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing, just finished eating."

"Well, then let me tell you something serious. The previous signings have been voted on. Which place do you think gets the most votes?" Lin Lin said with a smile.

"Yanjing at home, New York abroad."

"..."

"There are results on the official website, I have already read them."

"..." Lin Lin curled his lips and said, "It's boring."

　Thanks to [Wang Gong] and [Silent HM] for their rewards
