Literary Heroes of the Republic of China

There are many letters sent to Shanghai from all over the country and even abroad to Fu Yun'an or Huo Ying.

These letters have been sorted, and the important ones are put aside. There are only three or four letters in total. Fu Yun'an took those letters and looked at them first.

He read the letter very quickly, and wrote two replies while reading it, and asked his staff to send them out.

And the last of these letters was from his mother.

Fu Yun'an opened it, and then saw... aggressive words written in graceful handwriting.

This letter was not written by his mother, after all, his mother was illiterate, but the words inside were undoubtedly said by his mother.

This letter should have been sent before his second brother came to him, and the letter was full of dissatisfaction and accusations against the three brothers.

His mother felt that his eldest brother was disobedient, so he didn't even help her drive away the second aunt, and even protected his daughter-in-law from allowing her to "educate".

His mother also felt that his second brother was disobedient, so he didn't want to give her money, and he refused to marry the woman she arranged.

His mother even felt that he was too disobedient, so she stayed in Shanghai and didn't go back to see her, nor did she get married and have children.

Fu Yun'an just looked at it.

After staying abroad for so many years, their brothers have all changed, but their mother has not changed at all.

Putting the letter aside, Fu Yun'an looked at the unimportant letters.

There were quite a few of these letters. He read them one by one, and then his eyes settled on one of them.

The receiving address on this letter is written by Long Fengfeng Wu.

Fu Yun'an has seen many beautiful brush calligraphy, but such a beautiful pen calligraphy is rarely seen.

But he has read it, and is even very familiar with it - this is Tianxing's character.

And the inscription on it is also a big word "fortunate".

What did Tianxing write to his second brother?

Fu Yun'an was a little puzzled, he took out the letter and opened it, first read it quickly, and then read it slowly.

"I'm in a Hundred Years Later" is a novel, he is very aware of this, naturally he didn't take what was written in it seriously, he just felt that this person should be very knowledgeable.

Otherwise, he couldn't have known about such a thing as bacteria.

But what Fu Yun'an didn't expect was that in this letter, Tianxing actually said that the medicine he wrote in the novel actually existed, and he also knew how to make the medicine.

In fact, Fu Yun'an didn't pay much attention to the way to make money in this letter.

Nowadays, there is a shortage of everything in the country. No matter what factory you open, you can actually make money, but if you make money like this, the people who make the most money are those who have guns in their hands.

And these people with guns in their hands, they try their best to buy more guns... Therefore, the arms business is the most profitable.

He has such a business in his hands, so naturally he is not short of money.

But this medicine is different.

If you can really have such a drug, then...

Fu Yunan's heartbeat quickened.

He used to be very ambitious.

He was sent by his biological parents to the Fu family as an adopted son when he was just born, and although the Fu family never lacked his food, they were not close to him, and only let him study to earn face for them...

He had a very early memory, and he clearly remembered that he was only three or four years old, and he had to recognize a lot of characters. If he couldn't recognize them, he would have no food and be beaten on the palm of his hand.

At first he used to cry, but then he stopped crying when he realized it was useless, and after he accidentally learned that he was not the biological father of Mrs. Fu, he never even cried secretly.

He was afraid that he would be thrown away, so he could only study hard every day, even if his hands were so painful, he still practiced calligraphy with his wrists hanging.

Growing up like this, his biological father came and said he would take him away.

The Fu family was not willing. After all, he was already a well-known child prodigy at that time, and he was very proud of the Fu family. But when his biological father brought a lot of gold, silver and soldiers, the Fu family hurriedly handed him over, and it didn't take long. , They have another adopted son.

At that time, he clearly realized that only when a person is strong enough can he control his own destiny.

He was only eight years old when he returned to the Huo family. At that time, his father didn't care about him, and his mother wasn't close to him...but he didn't care.

When his elder brother and second brother refused to study, he seemed to be glued to the stool, earnestly studying everything he could learn.

As long as he is strong enough, it is impossible for others to abandon him, only he abandons others.

After such a short time, he became the pride of his father, and his father was willing to take him with him no matter where he went.

That taught him a lot.

Later when he went abroad, he hid some gold and silver because of uneasiness. He didn't want to rely on these to keep his family from starving to death.

In foreign countries, he read a lot of books and had many ideas about his future. He vowed to be a master.

But this idea persisted for a few years.

When he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he suddenly discovered that he liked men, which made him confused and even began to doubt himself.

During that time, he was in great pain and couldn't accept that he was a different kind, and that's why he studied medicine.

After starting to study medicine, seeing many births, old age, sickness and death, his heart finally calmed down, and his original ambitions also began to quiet down.

But his eyes are still there.

He knew what such a drug meant.

He felt that this fate was not easy before, and now he feels even more so.

Who is this man?What is he doing this for?

Fu Yun'an was very puzzled. He took the letter and read it carefully from beginning to end.

In this letter, Tianxing didn't disclose any information about himself, nor did he make any request. He only said that if Second Young Master Huo read the letter and wanted to cooperate, he would hope that a small notice would be published in the monthly newspaper, and he would naturally continue to contact him when the time came.

He made such a request, he should hope that the recipients will learn about "I'm in a Hundred Years Later".

It seems that I don't have to pay anything?

Fu Yun'an decided to do what was written above without hesitation.

Tianxing, who can write such an article, should not deceive him... Of course, it does not rule out that Tianxing himself was deceived by others, and it is possible that he took an inexplicable prescription as the real possibility.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Ping An Middle School started the new semester.

The students were very excited on the first day of school, and exchanged with each other all kinds of things they experienced in the New Year.

There will be no formal classes on this day, but tuition fees will be charged and textbooks will be distributed.

The tuition of Ping'an Middle School is not expensive, but it is also quite a lot. Many students can't pay it for a while. They can only pay one or two oceans first, and then pay it slowly on a monthly basis.

But Wei Ting didn't care about this, he still distributed brand new textbooks to these students who couldn't pay the tuition fees.

All kinds of textbooks, calligraphy books, etc., are worth more than one ocean when they are distributed to each student. Adding in other expenses, it will cost a lot of money to start the new semester.

Mu Qiong was a little worried about Wei Ting's lack of money, and he didn't want Wei Ting to say: "Fu Yun'an got these books, it didn't cost much, and he sent a lot of money, the school is not short of money now."

In this way... Mu Qiong is only worried that Fu Yun'an will be short of money.

However, although he and Fu Yun'an knew each other, they were not familiar with each other, so it was not easy to ask about Fu Yun'an's financial situation.

This semester, the school purchased a good English textbook and distributed it to the students according to Mu Qiong's request, and Mu Qiong himself began to prepare lessons for the new semester according to this textbook.

In the end, when he was preparing for the lesson, Fu Huai'an came: "Mr. Mu, there is a book missing in the middle of our class!"

What Fu Huai'an brought was an English textbook, and Mu Qiong took a look and found that the book was really missing a few pages.

"You put the book here, and take a new book over there." Mu Qiong pointed to the remaining books in the office.

It is not uncommon for books to be printed and bound incorrectly, so they took some extra books, and the redundant or damaged ones would be returned to the publishing house.

Fu Huai'an took the book back and came back after a while.

"Is there a problem with the book?" Mu Qiong asked.

"No...Mr. Mu, this is my translation, please read it!" Fu Huai'an gave Mu Qiong the book of Andersen's fairy tales and a few manuscript papers full of words.

During the vacation, he tried to translate a story, the one about a girl with a big thumb.

He didn't translate well by himself, but the teacher his brother found for him yesterday explained the meaning of the story in detail to him.

Then he had nothing to do this morning, so he wrote a very good story according to what the teacher told him!

Mu Qiong looked at the article in his hand with some surprise.

The winter vacation is not long, and there are activities such as visiting relatives, so although he assigned such a task to Fu Huai'an, he actually didn't expect Fu Huai'an to give any results.

I don't think... Fu Huai'an actually gave him a translation.

Fu Huaian translated Thumbelina.

He didn't translate it exactly according to the original text, but the translation of the whole story is very complete, and the writing style is not bad, but the words are ugly.

Seeing that Mu Qiong was watching seriously, Fu Huai'an was a little embarrassed: "I actually don't understand this story, so I asked someone else to explain it..."

"You translate very well." Mu Qiong said.

Fu Huai'an said that he asked someone to explain it, and he immediately thought of Fu Yun'an.

However, although Fu Yun'an explained the meaning of this fairy tale to him, it is obvious that Fu Huai'an did not translate it according to the explanation... In the translation that Fu Huai'an gave him, he inserted a lot of his own ideas, which is very characteristic of Fu Huai'an himself.

For example, Thumbelina in it thinks that the mole who can't see anything doesn't see anything...

Not only that, but the writing style of this article is very similar to him... probably because Fu Huai'an has been reading his novels recently.

"Really?" Fu Huai'an was a little surprised.

"It's true, I think this story can be published..." Mu Qiong asked again.

"This story can still be published?!" Fu Huai'an was overjoyed.

"Of course." Mu Qiong said: "But you'd better revise it again, there are typos in it, and some places are not smooth." This story is probably rushed out by Fu Huai'an, and it is a bit rough.

"I will definitely revise it!" Fu Huai'an said excitedly, and then asked a little unconfidently: "Can it really be published?"

"Yes." Mu Qiong said: "He can publish it in the monthly education magazine that I am the editor-in-chief. When it is published, it will be stated that the original author of the story is Andersen, and the translator is you."

Mu Qiong really felt that this story could be published, and it was very suitable for publication in Education Weekly.

He read a lot of fairy tales when he was young, and didn't feel much at the time, but when he grew up and read them again, he found that these fairy tales actually had other meanings.

Especially the fairy tales written by Andersen.

Let’s just say that this piece of "Thumbelina" seems to tell the adventures of a little thumb, but in fact... In this story, Thumbelina escaped two marriages she didn't like, and finally found happiness.

Especially the mole part.

The field mouse made an arranged marriage for Thumbelina, letting her marry a rich mole, but Thumbelina was unwilling to live a life without freedom and sunshine.

She helped Yanzi when she was in a very bad situation, and finally got the freedom she wanted through Yanzi.

Mu Qiong felt that this kind of story was good for children in the Republic of China, especially girls.

When Fu Huai'an heard that it could be published, he became excited, but after being excited for a while, he became entangled again: "Should I... use a pseudonym? How embarrassing to let others know that I translate a story that only little girls read. !"

He really liked this novel story, but he didn't forget what his second brother said...

His second brother said, these are for little girls!

"Do you think this is a story for little girls? Do you know which country and era the original author of this book lived in, what he experienced, and why he wrote such a story?" Mu Qiong asked.

Fu Huai'an didn't even know, he just thought the story was very interesting.

Mu Qiong gave a brief introduction to Andersen, then explained his own understanding of the novel, and finally said: "Now in China, many women let their parents and family arrange their lives. This story may awaken them. Even if it cannot Change the minds of those adults, but it can also plant a seed in the hearts of children."

It really is such a thing!Fu Huai'an was immediately excited, and felt that he was extremely powerful.

The story he translated turned out to be so useful!

"So, you have to translate this story well. After the translation, you can also translate other stories in it, such as this "The Emperor's New Clothes", or this "Ugly Duckling"." Mu Qiong opened the book of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales , referring to several of the stories.

Fu Huai'an nodded again and again, and excitedly went back to revise the story he translated.

After Fu Huai'an left, Sheng Chaohui immediately said, "Mu Qiong, are you really planning to publish his translated works in our monthly education magazine?"

Mu Qiong nodded.

"Can he translate well?" Sheng Chaohui couldn't believe it.

"His story is well written, and he is very childlike." Mu Qiong said.Because people generally still use classical Chinese at this time, when translating English works, they don’t translate word for word, and sometimes it’s more like the author has rewritten it.

Because of this, there are even people who don't understand English at all. After listening to foreign stories told by friends, they "translate" them, and finally things sell very well.

The story written by Fu Huai'an, although immature, is indeed good.

"When he fixes it, I want to see it!" Sheng Chaohui said.

"Of course, after all, you are also the editor-in-chief of the Educational Monthly." Mu Qiong said, there are only two editors of the Educational Monthly, he and Sheng Chaohui, and they are both editor-in-chiefs.

This morning, Mu Qiong stayed in the school to prepare lessons, but after dinner, he left and went to the editorial office of Dazhong Daily.

"Seeking a Doctor" is coming to an end, and it's time to give them the manuscript of "The Wandering Story".

Mu Qiong gave Li Ronghua more than 1 words at the beginning of "Wandering", and then got the good news of an increase in the manuscript fee.

Li Ronghua raised his manuscript fee from three yuan per thousand characters to four yuan per thousand characters.

Mu Qiong was not surprised.

Dazhong Daily's current sales are almost entirely supported by his novels.

His novels were published every other day, and the newspapers that did not carry his novels sold half as many as those that did.

Under such circumstances, Li Ronghua will definitely find a way to keep him, the God of Wealth.

Mu Qiong is not polite, he is very short of money now...he plans to save money to buy a house in the concession.

A few days after Mu Qiong gave the manuscript of "The Wandering Story" to Li Ronghua, "Seeking a Doctor" was finished.

"Seeking a Doctor" has been serialized for two months, and countless people cried after watching it, but now, it is finally over.

Just like when "Study Abroad" ended, the newsboy kept yelling when selling newspapers: "Lou Yuyu's masterpiece "Seeking Doctor" is over, come buy it and watch it!"

"It's hard to cure a disease, and it's hard to seek a doctor. It's a good story that expresses the aspirations of our common people! Come and see it!"

……

The newsboy shouted a few times before he was immediately surrounded by people.

The Dazhong newspaper in his hand was sold out, but there were many copper coins in his pocket.

The author has something to say:

The writer Liu Bannong was the first to bring Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales to Chinese readers. In 1914, he translated "The Emperor's New Clothes", which was translated as "Foreign Fan Xiaoying".

If it is a collection, no one has translated it at the moment~
