Literary Master 1978

Lin Chaoyang's answers to the two questions before and after were wonderful, and the audience below said they were very satisfied.

The questioners were enthusiastic, but the time for the speech was limited. After Lin Chaoyang answered the questions of five people, Zhang Youhua had to interrupt the questions, explaining that the time today was limited, and ended today's speech activity.

Many people in the audience did not get the opportunity to communicate with Lin Chaoyang, and their faces were full of regret and reluctance.

"It's all over so quickly!" Wang Xiaoping sighed.

"I guess I'm afraid of exposing my true level."

Zha Jianying's sarcasm made her friends roll their eyes. Seeing that Wang Xiaoping had a tendency to criticize her, she decisively gave in and said: "Well done! Well done! Okay?"

"Yin and Yang are weird!" Wang Xiaoping replied.

Zha Jianying said he was not forgiving, but when he recalled Lin Chaoyang's speech and his wonderful performance in his answers, he actually admired him in his heart.

Even compared with Zhao Zhenkai, there is still no concession.

"Chaoyang, what you said is so good!"

After getting off the podium, Zhang Youhua said to Lin Chaoyang sincerely.

Several other key members of the May 4th Literary Society nearby also commented similarly. Everyone saw the reaction of the audience just now.

It was the first time for the May Fourth Literary Society to hold such a large-scale event, and the effect was unexpectedly good.

Lin Chaoyang had a relaxed smile on his face, "Thank you everyone."

The speech had just ended, and the large dining hall was noisy. More than 2,000 students had gathered here, and they could not get out for a while. The club members and security personnel arranged at the door were guiding everyone to leave.

"There are so many people!" Lin Chaoyang couldn't help but say something when he heard the commotion at the door.

"It's because of your appeal! We didn't expect so many people to come today." Chen Jiangong said.

Lin Chaoyang said a few words to Chen Jiangong and waved to Tao Yushu, who was not far away, "Yushu!"

Wu Yingfang was excitedly exchanging her thoughts on the speech with Tao Yushu. When she saw Lin Chaoyang actually greeting Tao Yushu, she asked in surprise: "Do you still know Xu Lingjun? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Tao Yushu did not answer her words and pulled her to Lin Chaoyang.

"This is my classmate Wu Yingfang." She introduced Lin Chaoyang, and then said to Wu Yingfang: "This is my husband Lin Chaoyang."

Lin Chaoyang smiled and extended his hand to Wu Yingfang, "Hello, classmate Yingfang!"

Wu Yingfang shook hands with Lin Chaoyang blankly, and struggled to squeeze out a few words through her teeth, "Husband...husband?"

"Yeah. I haven't had the chance to meet you classmates before, and Yushu can't introduce you. Today we are acquainted. Let's have a meal together later."

Looking at Wu Yingfang's expression, it was hard for Lin Chaoyang not to suspect that the introduction and meeting just now was another good show directed by her. The daughter-in-law is now becoming more and more skillful in using this routine.

After digesting it for a long time, Wu Yingfang finally accepted the reality, holding Tao Yushu in her arms and mumbling.

"Why are you married to Xu Ling...Lin Chaoyang? How do you know each other? Why have you never told me before? Tell me quickly!"

Countless mysteries lingered in Wu Yingfang's mind, and her eyes eagerly sought Tao Yushu's answer, like a child waiting to be fed.

"How should I tell you?"

Tao Yushu found her look very interesting and wanted to tease her. She had been waiting for this game for a long time.

"Jade book~" Wu Yingfang held her hand and said coquettishly.

It was not convenient for Lin Chaoyang to participate in the whispers between female classmates, so he could only watch his wife playing with Wu Yingfang while applauding.

Such immature and evil taste!

"Chaoyang!"

Across the crowd, Lin Chaoyang heard his uncle's voice and turned around to see that he, his wife and children were waving to him.

"What you just said was really good. You have everyone's style! I didn't realize that you usually keep quiet, but you don't have any stage fright in such a big scene." Tao Yucheng praised.

"Thank you, brother!"

After saying a few words, Tao Yucheng saw that there were many people around Lin Chaoyang and said, "You should do your work first and wait until you get home."

"good."

After Tao Yucheng finished speaking, he took his wife and children to the door with the crowd, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from behind.

"Hey, Zhao Li, do you think that's mom?"

Zhao Li followed his eyes, and before she could speak, Tao Yucheng shouted loudly: "Mom! Mom!"

Among the noise, Tao Yucheng's shout was extremely clear.

The figure didn't turn around, but walked faster.

"Hey, isn't it mom? It looks similar to me. Mom!!"

Zhao Li shook her head speechlessly, is that similar?

"Stop shouting." Zhao Li stopped her husband's rashness, "You are wrong."

"Really? It looks similar to me."

The large dining room, which had been busy all morning, was finally empty before lunch, and Lin Chaoyang could finally walk out of the large dining room.

He was accompanied by several key members of the May Fourth Literary Society, as well as Tao Yushu and Wu Yingfang.

A group of people walked to the door of the large dining room. Lin Chaoyang saw a familiar figure and stopped.

"Old Liu!"

Liu Xinwu came forward with a smile on his face, "I just listened to the speech, and it was really good."

"The class master plays with the ax, the class master plays with the axe." Lin Chaoyang was humbled repeatedly, and then said to Tao Yushu: "Yushu, you two go shopping first, and we will meet at the Zhongting later."

Tao Yushu responded and pulled Wu Yingfang away. Seeing that Lin Chaoyang had something to discuss, several people from the May Fourth Literary Society also said goodbye and left.

Lin Chaoyang and Liu Xinwu strolled and chatted towards Weiming Lake.

"Lao Liu, congratulations, "Class Teacher" won the award."

"Thank you, that's because your novel was not included in the competition."

Just a few days after the last meeting, the first National Excellent Short Story Award Ceremony was held in Yanjing. This award was jointly organized by the People's Literature Publishing House and the Literary Association, and it was also the first national novel award event held in China.

This year is the first award ceremony, and the scope of the selection is short stories published or published after September 1977 to October 1978. Lin Chaoyang's "The Shepherd" was only published in November last year, so it was naturally not included in the selection.

This year, a total of 25 short stories won awards, including Liu Xinwu's "Class Teacher" and several other well-known scar novels.

Although the country has announced reform and opening up, the deep frozen land cannot be completely thawed in a short time. In a sense, the holding of the National Excellent Short Story Award is a harbinger of spring in the literary and art circles.

It can also be seen from the list of winning works this time that this award is generally very social, and relatively speaking, the literary quality is poor.

After chatting for a while, Liu Xinwu asked: "It seems that you are not optimistic about the prospects of scar literature."

"Well, the rise of scar literature has a strong sense of catharsis and rebellion. From the perspective of readers, this emotion cannot last long.

From the perspective of authors, too thin materials are not a long-term solution. It is very dangerous for writers to fall into a certain pattern of creation."

"You are right."

Lin Chaoyang's words won Liu Xinwu's recognition. After "Class Teacher" became famous, he has been trying to escape the creative bottleneck created by scar literature. However, perhaps because of the outstanding reader response and industry evaluation of "Class Teacher", the quality and response of Liu Xinwu's works in the past two years have not reached the level he is satisfied with.

Liu Xinwu confided his thoughts to Lin Chaoyang and said with envy: "Chaoyang, I really envy you!"

"What should I envy?"

"The success of "The Shepherd" is obvious to all, but you have no nostalgia. You resolutely abandoned all the halos and wrote a work like "Little Shoes."

Liu Xinwu was full of emotion, "I just finished reading "Little Shoes" yesterday, and it left a deep impression on me. Fresh and meaningful, warm and sunny. Looking at the contemporary Chinese literary world, the style of this work is unique. Your transformation this time is really successful!"

Liu Xinwu praised so highly that Lin Chaoyang had to be polite and modest, and then said: "In fact, I have never thought about whether it is a scar literature. I only care about whether it is a good story and a good work."

"Good story, good work."

Liu Xinwu chewed on Lin Chaoyang's words, full of admiration in his heart.

After talking about the speech and creative experience, Liu Xinwu finally said the main topic of today's visit.

"Have you written anything recently?"

"I'm writing a novel about the war in the south."

Liu Xinwu was a little surprised, "Why would you write something on this subject?"

Lin Chaoyang told him about his brother-in-law Du Feng, and Liu Xinwu nodded, "I see. You have never had any experience or accumulation in this area, so it's not easy to write, right?"

"Not bad. I collected a lot of information, and I got into the state while writing."

Liu Xinwu asked with some expectation: "After you finish writing this work, please give it to us "October"!"

Then he added, "We will pay the highest standard of royalties."

Customers who take the initiative to raise prices are good customers, but for the sake of caution, Lin Chaoyang still said: "You also know that this novel may be a little sensitive. After I finish writing it, I have to give it to the army for review. I can't agree to you now."

When Li Xiaolin came to Lin Chaoyang to ask for a manuscript before, he politely refused, saying that this manuscript would be left to "October" and it was not a lie.

It's just that the content of this novel is a little sensitive, so there is no way to say it to the end now.

Hearing this, Liu Xinwu also understood, and he said: "I understand, just think of us when the time comes."

"Okay."

Before leaving, Liu Xinwu suddenly asked Lin Chaoyang: "Chaoyang, I think the content of your speech is very good, why don't you take it to our publication to publish it?"

Can PPT be exchanged for money in this era?

"This...isn't it inappropriate?" Lin Chaoyang said reservedly.

It's not that he doesn't want to earn royalties, but he thinks it's a bit bad to use second-hand things to fool around.

"What's inappropriate. Your point of view is very insightful. It can be said to be a good summary and foresight of scar literature. It should be shown to readers and critics."

Seeing that Lin Chaoyang was still hesitating, Liu Xinwu tentatively said: "A speech with thousands of words is not a small amount of money!"

His words were like the whisper of the devil, shaking Lin Chaoyang's weak will.

Yes, you can't get along with anyone, but you can't get along with the royalties!

"Okay, I'll sort out the content of today's speech later."

Liu Xinwu smiled proudly. With the first cooperation, how far will the second time be?

After seeing Liu Xinwu off, Lin Chaoyang found Tao Yushu.

"Today we are short on time, let's go to the Changzheng Restaurant for a bite."

The speech ended at half past ten, and Lin Chaoyang chatted with Liu Xinwu for more than an hour. It was already twelve o'clock, and it was too late to go into the city for a meal, Lin Chaoyang suggested.

Several people came to the Changzheng Restaurant outside the south gate of the school. When ordering dishes, Wu Yingfang's eyes fell on Lin Chaoyang from time to time, full of curiosity.

After ordering the dishes, she asked: "Comrade Chaoyang, what did you think at the beginning? Aren't you afraid that Yushu will run away? You are still rushing to find review materials for her?"

Obviously, in the past hour or so, Wu Yingfang has fully understood the various experiences of Lin Chaoyang and Tao Yushu from love to marriage.

Lin Chaoyang poured a cup of hot water for the two of them and said: "Can you stop them if they want to run away? I believe in Yushu!"

Listening to Lin Chaoyang's words, Tao Yushu's eyes were filled with sweetness.

Wu Yingfang was caught off guard and sprinkled a mouthful of dog food. She wanted to stop asking, but she couldn't help her inner curiosity.

The professor's daughter and the country boy fell in love, and it was not news that they got married. In the past few years, there were many news reports of educated youth marrying local people, and there were many educated youth with extraordinary backgrounds.

But what is rare is that Lin Chaoyang and Tao Yushu can trust each other and support each other all the way to today.

Even as a bystander, Wu Yingfang can imagine the family pressure that Tao Yushu had to bear when he made the decision to take Lin Chaoyang back to the city.

She can also understand the discomfort that Lin Chaoyang felt after coming to Yanjing, and he not only resisted the rumors from the outside world and the pressure from his mother's family, but also showed his talent in a short time, which rewarded Tao Yushu's persistence.

When the golden wind and jade dew meet, they are better than countless people in the world.

Wu Yingfang's mind suddenly floated through this famous sentence that has been passed down through the ages. It is the most appropriate to describe the love between Lin Chaoyang and Tao Yushu.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Tao Yushu again.

Tao Yushu has always impressed her as hardworking and studious. She only knew that Tao Yushu's family seemed to be good before. It was not until today that she knew that she was the daughter of a professor at Yan University, and it was also today that she knew about her legendary and unforgettable love story with her husband Lin Chaoyang.

Women's emotions always overflow when they imagine things. In Wu Yingfang's eyes at this moment, Lin Chaoyang and Tao Yushu are the embodiment of all the beautiful love in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, and they are sacred and inviolable.

I'm sure of this couple!
