The Nth Disappearance of My Wife

"I knew I wouldn't be here. What kind of temper is this big boss? I knew it would be impolite to release people. It looks like your booklet is going to be ruined again." The editor was so angry that he didn't call out, thinking that he would be able to negotiate a good deal. , I didn't expect to play this one.

"If you don't come, then don't come, if you are in the soup, you will be in the soup, let's have a good meal when you come in the future." Tian Xiaoxiao got a glass of red wine for the editor and handed it to the editor, and he also had a drink.

"I envy you very much. No matter what, I have leisure and elegance, but I don't have any leisure and elegance. I am a widow and I have to be busy with you, a weird-tempered author, if it weren't for being an editor than being a teacher. If you want a higher salary, I’ll go to teach and educate people as a model.” The editor didn’t want to drink at all, and was still angry at the person who put the pigeons.

"It's okay, there is another village where the willows are dark and the flowers are bright, what are you afraid of." Tian Xiaoxiao went to pick vegetables for the editor again. She found that no matter what age she was in, money was the most important thing, and people of every age had to fight for money. to run around.

Perhaps it was true as what Tian Xiaoxiao said, although the boss let them go, but the cooperation was negotiated. Tian Xiaoxiao's comic "The Biography of Lao Tzu" was really popular, and it was also printed as a booklet.

Tian Xiaoxiao witnessed with her own eyes that "The Biography of Lao Tzu" was loved by the children of that generation, all of which became the driving force for her creation.

Tian Xiaoxiao, a lonely beautiful cartoonist, has also met many writers and friends, and is much more cheerful than before.

However, Tian Xiaoxiao is still so poor, because the manuscript fee will be suppressed by the people below, and she is not a person who loves money, so living alone is enough.

In this era, Tian Xiaoxiao has used it for more than 20 years, drawing a comic until the end, giving the children there a childhood.

Later, Tian Xiaoxiao fell ill in her old age, and she could no longer hold a pen in her hand. Tian Xiaoxiao lived alone in a small apartment waiting to die.

From time to time, friends came to visit, and everyone lamented what happened to her and wished her better soon, but the disease was getting worse.

Tian Xiaoxiao's former glory is no longer there, the ragged red sweatshirt he wears all day long is full of patches, if he has money, he may be able to heal this sick body, but it's a pity that he doesn't have money.

About to die.

The editor brought a comic from Hong Kong, which is also called "The Biography of Lao Tzu".

"This..." Tian Xiaoxiao flipped through the pages, shaking the comic book on the ground again.

Tian Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, but smiled.

On the second day, the cartoonist who brought joy to countless children in the 80s left without a suicide note or friends, leaving only the "Biography of Laozi".

The editor accidentally bought a copy of "The Biography of Laozi" when he was on a business trip in Singapore, but when he opened it, it was not Tian Xiaoxiao's copy but someone else's.

And this "Biography of Laozi" is the childhood of countless post-90s and post-00s. It even created the saying that wherever there are Chinese, there is "Biography of Laozi". childhood.

But how dark is behind this brilliance?No one will care about the tragic old age of the creator, because no one will see her, and the only "Biography of Laozi" they know and see is Ye Zhe's plagiarized work.

As the original creator, Tian Xiaoxiao was forgotten by the world together with her comic "The Biography of Lao Tzu", becoming a grain of sand in the long river of history.

The editor contacted the Writers Association and embarked on the long road of rights protection, perhaps because of the awe of the original, or perhaps because of the tragic experience of an old friend, and sighed endlessly.

However, plagiarists refuse to admit the facts.

Ye Zhe didn't know until his death that the person he copied was actually Tian Xiaoxiao.

In this day and age, Ye Zhe is also a cartoonist, but compared to Tian Xiaoxiao, he is just a third-rate cartoonist with an underappreciated talent.

I accidentally borrowed an old book in the middle of the night, and the author had the pen name Lan written on it, and Ye Zhe didn't think much about flipping through it a few times to express his admiration for his comics.

"What kind of thing are you drawing?" The people from the publishing house detested Ye Zhe's works.

"Well, I see." Ye Zhe is such a proud person, but in this age, he has repeatedly hit the wall, and it seems that no one can appreciate his talent.

As proud as he is, he can't accept failure, but it seems that he can't always think of high-quality plots in his mind. He always thinks that those popular works don't seem to be very good.

Ye Zhe also suddenly turned his head, planning to come to a dove to occupy the magpie's nest, and he also published a "Biography of Lao Tzu", with a completely different style of painting.

"If I change the painting style of this book, no one will know that I copied it. Besides, I am in Taiwan and this book is in the mainland, so he doesn't know anyway." Ye Zhe twisted his brain, he admired this book very much .

The copying is not much, only [-] to [-]%, and some new things are added later.

Ye Zhe became famous for a while with his "Biography of Lao Tzu", and he became a first-class cartoonist. He enjoyed the bonus and refused to admit it even if he was asked to apologize later.

"Recently, the Writers' Association in the Mainland will unite to denounce you. Is your work really unclean?" The publishing house was a little scared.

"Don't worry about these people, he's just jealous of me, and besides, they would definitely protect me when I was a child of so many children." Ye Zhe didn't care at all, because he knew that someone would protect him.

However, Tian Xiaoxiao's editor still resolutely defended her rights.

The editor said, "The "Biography of Laozi" written by Lan is the childhood of people in the last century, and the "Biography of Laozi" written by Ye Zhe is the childhood of people in this century. But we can’t deny the mistakes he put down. History may be forgotten, but we exist to make this history officially not to be forgotten by the public. But no matter how much history is forgotten, it still exists, and we can do it How can we avoid bad money driving out good money.”

Everyone knows that you can't wait for an apology, but everyone is still so resolute in supporting rights protection and condemning plagiarists, in fact, it is just to give an explanation to the original creator Tian Xiaoxiao.

The money-loving editor whom Maeda Xiaoxiao knew from now on can also support rights protection for original works.

Ye Zhe refused to apologize to his death. He has become a family in this era, and he refused to admit plagiarism even when he was dying.

When he left, public opinion was full of mourning, and even government officials in Hong Kong expressed deep sorrow.

The original creators and plagiarists are gone, leaving only the noise of the spectators.

Some people resist plagiarized works in various ways, but when they find that their favorite works in their childhood are plagiarized works, they turn a blind eye and close one eye, saying that plagiarism is also a skill, and the plagiarist Ye Zhe is a talented person Man, Ye Zhe also thought up most of the later plots.

Some people can’t persuade the plagiarist’s fans no matter what they say. People use the theory of success to explain everything. It’s wrong for him to plagiarize, but he succeeded. He brought us a lot of happiness. He is our childhood. !
Some people also said that if there were no plagiarists to carry forward this work, I would not know who the original author was.

Just because the work of the plagiarist brings joy to everyone, can the original sin be ignored?
The most ridiculous thing is that on the last page of Ye Zhe's "Biography of Lao Tzu" comic, there is actually a statement of resisting piracy and supporting originality.

The editor watched the scolding battle on the Internet, she was tired, she had been running around for a long time, but she still didn't wait for Tian Xiaoxiao to apologize.

In fact, if the editor is in this era, and the plagiarist's work is her childhood, the editor will still resist it.

In fact, the big reason for the prevalence of piracy in those days was the long history and traffic blockade, which led to the lack of circulation of information and gave plagiarists an opportunity. We didn’t know this before, which is understandable, but we know all the truth and we can still ignore it. Are you blind?

Don't turn a blind eye to plagiarism because it is the so-called childhood. No matter what you say, plagiarism is the original sin. If the plagiarist is talented, he is either right or wrong. No matter how good the flesh is, the bones are still plagiarized. .

Even without the plagiarism of the latter, the former is still popular, and the former was once the childhood of a generation. Isn't it because the former is so good that the latter plagiarized and tried to replace it?

Do you all want to watch bad money drive out good money, and plagiarism and piracy prevail in the entire cultural industry and circle?

After the reality, Ye Zhe and Tian Xiaoxiao looked at each other.

"Police." Several police uncles handcuffed the old man.

Both Tian Xiaoxiao and Ye Zhe knew about it. This was undoubtedly a scam.

However, the old witch who pretended to be a ghost has been arrested by the police, but she used hypnosis to pretend to be able to divination her past and present lives.

However, when Tian Xiaoxiao and Ye Zhe returned to Ye Zhe's house, they saw the "Old Master Q" and shuddered. This was not the Old Master she knew, but the original "Old Master Q".

"I bought this at an old bookstall before. It's old, probably from the 80s." Ye Zhe explained to Tian Xiaoxiao after flipping through it for a while.

"I didn't know this, I seem to know something." Tian Xiaoxiao seemed to understand something, and suddenly seemed to understand the sadness and desolation of the creator.

"Don't be sad, this kind of thing is actually very normal, we don't watch it, we didn't know it before, now we know it and resist it." Ye Zhe actually knew about the plagiarism of the comic "Old Master Q" a long time ago. Yes, he actually appreciates the original work quite a bit. Such a good original work should not be overshadowed by plagiarized garbage.

"It is indeed a very good work. I really hope that I can encounter it earlier, but it is not too late to encounter it now. A good work is good enough no matter when it is encountered. Time will not cloud its luster. It will make him more interesting." Tian Xiaoxiao read the old master of my friend, feeling the childhood of that generation in the last century.

Dreams are likely to be a mirror of reality, and the flowers of both dreams and sin are still blooming.
