Literary Heroes of the Republic of China

Fu Huai'an was very depressed when he found that he couldn't get his mother to promote him in his hometown.

But he wasn't depressed for long.

The story he translated was published, and there was such a happy thing that he couldn't be depressed at all.

When Fu Huai'an returned to Fu's house, Fu Yun'an was not there.

These days Fu Yun'an is very busy, often not at home... Fu Huai'an wished this was the case. After dinner, he went back to his room.

He wiped his desk clean with a towel, then took out the Education Monthly and put it on it, and read it carefully.

On the cover of the Education Monthly, the editor-in-chief Lou Yuyu and Sheng Chaohui were written. After opening it, there were stories one by one, and there were some paintings...Fu Huai'an read it with great interest.

I didn't expect Teacher Zhong to write stories!I didn't expect the principal's painting to be so good!Unexpectedly, the stories written by Teacher Sheng are not bad!

Of course, the most interesting story in it must be "Thumbelina".

Fu Huai'an felt that when Education Monthly went public tomorrow, many people would be fascinated by the story he wrote!

Fu Huai'an was full of expectations, but he didn't know that at this moment, someone was actually complaining about the Educational Monthly, thinking that there was something wrong with this publication.

"Your school received money at the end of last semester, saying that it would order you a monthly educational magazine for a year. How long has it been since? Why haven't you seen that book yet?" the father of a student at Chongxin School said to his son.

"I don't know..." the student said.

"Aren't you lying?" The father was very dissatisfied: "Then what kind of educational monthly subscription costs one yuan a year! My monthly salary is only ten yuan!"

The student's mother also said: "I've never heard of the name of the Educational Monthly before. Most of them are small publications that are not popular. I'm afraid your school is making money from it!"

The student's parents told me about the monthly education magazine, and they felt sorry for the dollar.

And this kind of thing is not only happened in their family, nor is this doubt just today.

Wei Ting had contacted some schools and asked them to subscribe to the monthly education magazine, but the students had paid for it, and the magazine hadn't come out... Of course, the parents of these students had objections.

the next day.

On this day's Dazhong newspaper, Lou Yuyu's "Wanderings" was published again.

Early in the morning, many people called the newsboy to buy newspapers, including Li Zhenyao.

When Li Zhenyao came to school with a newspaper, the first thing she did was to read "Wandering" on it.

Doudou picked up an old newspaper, but he didn't know any of the words on it. In the end, he could only use this newspaper as a quilt.

Of course, he didn't cover the quilt to keep out the cold, but to keep out mosquitoes.

Sleeping under a newspaper full of words, Doudou felt a little giddy, but unfortunately, he didn't know any of the words on it...

Because of this, when she saw a child reading on a stone bench by the road, Doudou sneaked over to have a look.

As a result, the child actually asked Doudou to read books with him, and read to Doudou the books he read.

"This is an educational monthly magazine, edited by Mr. Lou Yuyu and Mr. Sheng Chaohui. There are many stories on it. There are idiom stories in the front and fairy tales translated from foreign countries in the back. It is very beautiful!" the child told Doudou, and introduced the following Fairy Tale: "This fairy tale is written by people from abroad. It is called "Thumbelina". It tells the adventures of a girl the size of a thumb."

Doudou was surprised: "In this world, there are still people the size of a thumb?"

"I don't know, anyway, there is something in this story." The child said.

The two just looked at each other like this...

Li Zhenyao looked at this story, feeling a little dazed.

In his book, Lou Yuyu wrote that he edited a monthly educational magazine?

What the hell is this?

And... the latter "Thumbelina", although there are only a few short explanations, it is interesting to watch... She wants to watch it a little bit.

Li Zhenyao was wondering when one of her classmates said, "Zhenyao, look at the middle of Dazhong Daily. There is an advertisement for Educational Monthly. Mr. Lou Yuyu co-founded a magazine called Educational Monthly. It's on the market today."

Li Zhenyao immediately looked for it in the middle, and sure enough, she found such an advertisement.

She stood up abruptly.

"Zhenyao, what's wrong with you?" the classmate asked yes.

"Is it too late to buy this educational monthly?" Li Zhenyao asked.

"...It's too late." Li Zhenyao's classmate said, they were about to start class.

In modern times, all kinds of advertising soft texts emerge in endlessly, and many advertisements will be added to TV dramas, which is commonplace for everyone.

But this is the Republic of China.

Mu Qiong's behavior of advertising his own newspapers and periodicals in his own articles has never been heard or seen by anyone.

How can you still do this?

Some businessmen want to find Lou Yuyu, so that Lou Yuyu can also write about their products in "Wandering"!

People at this time have not yet lived a life full of advertisements, and they do not reject the advertisements in "The Wandering Notes" at all, but find them quite novel.After all, this plot is not abrupt at all, and after reading it... they all want to buy a monthly educational magazine to read.

That education monthly magazine must be very good-looking!

People who read Dazhong Daily have basically seen this "advertisement".

Fu Yun'an is one of them.

He decided to try to see if he could develop with Mu Qiong, but he was too busy to find Mu Qiong at all.

When my second brother comes back, I must let him stay in Shanghai!

It was rare to have time today, so Fu Yun'an took out the Dazhong newspaper that he ordered to read, and he happened to see this advertisement.

He had heard about Mu Qiong running a magazine, but he didn't know much about it. Now that the magazine is out...

"Help me buy a few educational monthly magazines." Fu Yun'an said to his assistant Sun Dalin that this monthly magazine was run by Mu Qiong, so he should support it.

Sun Dalin responded and went out, and after a while, he came back with a thick stack of dozens of educational monthly magazines.

"Why did you buy so much?" Fu Yun'an asked.

"Third Young Master, I just bought everything in that store... Is it too much? Do you want to return it?" Sun Dalin was at a loss.

"Forget it." Fu Yun'an said, picking up a book and reading it.

Sun Dalin smiled honestly, feeling that he was too witty!

Next time he sees Moo Joon, he should tell Moo Joon about this...

None of the articles in this educational monthly magazine were written by Mu Qiong, but all of them were selected by Mu Qiong. After obtaining the consent of others, he made some wording changes——putting some words that were difficult for children to understand. Words, changed to simpler ones.

In his previous life, Mu Qiong first wrote children's literature. His vision is still very good, and all the stories he chooses are very good and easy to understand.

But after Fu Yun'an opened it, the first thing he saw was not these stories, but... This publication actually used punctuation!

Some people have advocated the use of punctuation for a long time, but what kind of punctuation should be and how to use it have not been settled, and newspapers and magazines do not use punctuation when printing.

But now, the educational monthly uses punctuation.

I don't know if it's Wei Ting's idea, or Mu Qiong's idea... Fu Yun'an took a deep breath, and he was keenly aware that the domestic publishing industry was about to undergo a revolution.

Fu Yun'an continued to read.

This educational monthly magazine should be read for children. The words are very simple and very vernacular, which is very easy to understand. Similarly, it is also very interesting to read.

Let's just talk about idioms... Fu Yun'an felt that as long as he had read this story, he would be able to understand the usage of these idioms. As for the other articles, they were all well written, each with its own reasoning.

As for some nursery rhymes and games inside, they are even more interesting.

Fu Yun'an read things very quickly, and it didn't take long to see the end, and then saw "Thumbelina".

He had read the original text of this story, and now when he went to see the translation, he found that there were some subtle inaccuracies in the translation, but it didn't affect the reading, on the contrary, it was more interesting to read, and the Thumbelina in the story became more lively.

His brother was just different.

When Fu Yun'an found this story, he noticed that it was written by Fu Huai'an. Now that I read it, it really has Fu Huai'an's style.

"Take these books home, put two in my study, and give the rest to Huai'an." Fu Yun'an said.

He bought this book but didn't know what to do with it... Fu Huai'an would like it very much.

Fu Yun'an has been living abroad, and he was not surprised to see the "Education Monthly", so he didn't know that some people who bought the Education Monthly were already stunned.

Li Yanyi from Aurora University bought Hope Monthly but failed to find it. After leaving the address for the bookstore owner, whenever new books came, the bookstore owner would send them to his home and let him choose.

Early this morning, the bookstore clerk delivered books again.

Li Yan welcomed the guys very much and let them in immediately.

"What books do you have today?" Li Yanyi asked.

The guy put up some titles.

"Education Monthly?" Li Yanyi asked curiously, "I haven't heard of it before."

Li Yanyi had never heard of the title of Education Monthly, but the word "education" alone was enough to make him curious about this publication.

"Professor Li, this is a new publication, the first issue has just been released." The clerk took out the Education Monthly: "This is edited by Mr. Lou Yuyu!"

"Edited by Lou Yuyu?" Li Yanyi's eyes lit up: "Short English Essays published by Lou Yuyu before is a very good book, and the educational monthly magazine edited by him is not bad."

As soon as Li Yan spoke, he flipped through the Educational Monthly.

This publication, if it is to say that it has a particularly strong literary quality, it certainly does not have it. The stories in it are extremely simple and straightforward.

But anyone with insight will think this is a good publication.

Nowadays, there are many publications in China, but there are really few publications for children, and there are even very few books specially written for children.

And this educational monthly magazine contains easy-to-understand and educational content, which is perfect for children to read.

Of course, what surprised Li Yanyi the most was not the content of this publication, but the use of punctuation in this publication!

Li Yanyi attaches great importance to his children's learning. When he teaches children to read, he will explain the meaning of the words to the children very seriously. Not only that, he will mark the books for the children to read, so that the children will not read. Sometimes I can't understand.

But even so, reading can be a bit strenuous for young children.

But this educational monthly...

"Good book!" Li Yanyi couldn't put it down: "This content, this punctuation...all elementary and middle school students should read it!"

The bookstore clerk often came to deliver books, and he had never heard Li Yanyi praise anyone so much, and his face was full of surprise.

And Li Yanyi immediately said: "I want to buy a few more copies of this book to give away... How about this, I will go to the store with you, so as not to be late and not be able to buy them."

"Professor Li, we have entered a lot of this magazine, you don't have to worry..." The guy followed Li Yanyi to their bookstore.

result……

"Professor Li, I'm sorry, someone came to our store before and bought all the remaining educational monthly magazines in our store." The boss apologized.

"There are always people who know the goods in this world... I'll look elsewhere!" Li Yan said.

Li Yanyi bought the educational monthly magazine elsewhere, and just as he paid the money, he heard everyone coming in from outside: "Excuse me, do you sell the monthly educational magazine here?"

When the monthly education magazine went public, Mu Qiong not only advertised in his own "Wandering Notes", but also advertised in major newspapers such as Shenbao News.

Such a dozen advertisements... At least half of those who read the newspapers in Shanghai have seen it.

And many of these people are willing to buy this publication for children.

When they buy it...

The sensation caused by the Education Monthly is even greater than that of the previous Hope Monthly.

I hope that no matter how good the story in the monthly newspaper is, it is just a story, but the educational monthly magazine, the entire publication, is a miracle.

Zheng Weixin saw the news about Education Monthly when he was reading Dazhong Daily.

This monthly magazine is for children, but he bought a copy out of the idea of ​​supporting Mu Qiong, and turned it over...

"This is an epoch-making publication!"

"I think the current publications should learn from educational monthly magazines and use punctuation!"

"This publication is for kids, but we should too!"

……

Zheng Weixin and his classmates all read a publication for children seriously, and were amazed.

Of course, Zheng Weixin's classmates were by no means the ones who watched it most seriously.

Chongxin School.

Early in the morning, Sheng Chaohui asked someone to bring the educational monthly magazine subscribed by the students of Chongxin School to the school, and then the school teacher quickly distributed it to the students in the school.

At this time, students basically have no reading materials except textbooks.

Get Education Monthly now and they look right away.

There was no pinyin at this time, and they started to learn to read characters on the first day of school, so the first-grade students already knew a lot of characters, and the second-grade students, in terms of literacy, had no problem reading the monthly education magazine.

Of course, those who don't study hard, don't pay attention to the lectures, and don't recognize all the words in the textbooks will definitely not understand, but these people will not subscribe to the monthly educational magazine.

Like a first grader, almost no one orders it.

Therefore, people who get the book can basically understand it.

When they saw it, they were fascinated.

In Mu Changyu's class, a total of ten people subscribed to the monthly education magazine, including Zhao Xiyun, Mu Changyu's deskmate.

She has finished reading "Study Abroad" and "Seeking a Doctor" in the past few days, and even "I'm in a Hundred Years Later", and it is these books that made her fall in love with reading.

But she couldn't read many of the books at home.

For example, she didn't like "Lu Shi Chunqiu" that her father was watching recently.

She subscribed to the Educational Monthly, and when it first came out, she said to Mu Changyu, "My dad wants to subscribe to this book, and I don't want to subscribe at all. It's probably full of great principles, to persuade people to study hard. Why is there a golden house in the book, and Yan Ruyu in the book... I am Yan Ruyu myself!"

Mu Changyu laughed softly: "Actually, it may not be like this... why don't you take a look first?"

"Alright." Zhao Xiyun said, and opened the book.

Afterwards, Zhao Xiyun kept her ears shut and only read storybooks!

Zhao Xiyun can understand books like "Study Abroad", but at her age, she likes simpler stories the most, such as the stories in the monthly education magazine in front of her.

Each of these stories is very beautiful!

Zhao Xiyun was fascinated by watching it. After reading it for a while, she remembered Mu Changyu: "Changyu, I have forgotten about you...Do you want to read it with me?" She said, and put the book on the shelf. Between the two.

"No, I have it too." Mu Changyu took out a monthly educational magazine from his schoolbag: "My family has ordered it."

In fact, it wasn't that her family ordered it, but that this book was edited by her brother!

Thinking of this, Mu Changyu felt a little proud.

However, she didn't want to tell her classmates.

Her classmates didn't know that her brother was Lou Yuyu, so they had been asking her about her brother all day long. When her brother came to pick her up, they would keep watching. If they knew that her brother was Lou Yuyu...

Mu Changyu was careful not to tell others.

"Changyu, did your brother order it for you? Your brother is so kind to you!" Zhao Xiyun said.

Zhao Xiyun is only 13 years old this year, but this does not affect her fondness for Mu Changyu's brother, and this kind of vague affection is not only for Mu Changyu's brother, she also likes several seniors in the school.

Of course, she won't tell anyone about these girls' thoughts.

"My brother ordered it for me. My brother bought a lot of books for me to read." Mu Changyu smiled.

"Your brother Changyu is so kind! My brother hates me for spending money on studying..." A girl in the class said, "I won't study after finishing this semester."

"Lan Lan..."

"Stop talking! Changyu, can you lend me your book?" the little girl named Lan Lan asked.

Mu Changyu generously lent his book, and Lan Lan cherished it.

"Let me tell you, don't read this book from beginning to end... read "Thumbelina" at the back first! It's so beautiful and interesting!" A girl suddenly said: "A villain with the size of a thumb is interesting to think about." !"

"I'll take a look too!"

"I see it too!"

The other girls went to see it.

"This is a foreign story, so beautiful."

"This Fu Huai'an is so powerful, he can even translate!"

"I don't know if there will be such a story in the next issue of Educational Monthly."

……

Mu Changyu became even more proud when he heard their discussion.

That Fu Huai'an is her brother's student, nothing special, her brother is the best!

The editorial department of a magazine in Shanghai.

"Lou Yuyu is really a role model for my generation!" A progressive person praised: "The novels he writes and the magazines he runs are all able to enlighten the people's wisdom."

Another person in the editorial department said: "The punctuation he used in the monthly education magazine is very suitable. I think our magazine can also use this kind of punctuation!"

"I also think that if we want to promote new culture, we should first promote punctuation!"

"I don't know who this Lou Yuyu is, I really want to have a good chat with him!"

"The Dazhong Daily hides people too tightly!"

"Have you noticed that there are articles written by Wei Ting and paintings by him in this magazine. Wei Ting probably knows Lou Yuyu!"

"Wei Ting should know him. He mentioned this education monthly when he came to the salon before. I heard that he still has a shareholding."

"We can ask him about Lou Yuyu."

……

The Education Monthly not only sells well in Shanghai, but also sells very well in Hangzhou and Suzhou.

Those who read the Education Monthly admired the two editor-in-chiefs of this publication, especially Lou Yuyu, who was already very famous.

At the same time, some people noticed the authors of the articles, including the translator Fu Huaian.

Even because the story of "Thumbelina" is more interesting than other stories, people pay more attention to Fu Huai'an than Teacher Zhong.

They were all curious about who Fu Huai'an was, but they didn't know that Fu Huai'an was depressed at school right now.

Fu Huai'an was very excited last night. After reading the Education Monthly several times, he went to translate "The Emperor's New Clothes".

Before he knew it, he went to bed late, and after going to bed late, he overslept in the morning.

He hurried out to buy monthly educational magazines, but found that he didn't bring any money...

In the past, he would definitely go home to get the money, buy a monthly educational magazine, and then go to school, but the situation is different now.

He is the representative of the English class, and he wants to take everyone to read early, and Mu Qiong goes to school very early every day. What if Mu Qiong sees that he is not serious about his studies and doesn't want his manuscripts in the future?

In order not to be late, Fu Huai'an had no choice but to rush to school without buying the monthly educational magazine.

He had promised to buy monthly educational magazines for his classmates, but due to various reasons, he failed to buy them... Fu Huai'an was a little embarrassed. Fortunately, after arriving at the school, he learned that the school put a monthly educational magazine in the reading corner of every classroom.

The teacher probably bought this book for them again... The teachers in their school are so nice!

Seeing his classmates huddling together to read a monthly educational magazine, Fu Huai'an felt moved: "We won't be reading English for today's morning reading. I'll read the monthly educational magazine for you! Read the foreign fairy tale translated from above!"

Fu Huai'an's classmate: "..." Brother Huai, you told us this story when you were translating it, did you forget?

We're actually more interested in the stories we haven't seen before...

However, Brother Huai just wanted to read "Thumbelina".

When Fu Huai'an was reading Thumbelina, Zhu Wanwan was also reading "Thumbelina" to Feng Xiaoya.

She read a paragraph, and then explained it to Feng Xiaoya, and the two slowly finished reading the story.

"This story is really interesting." Feng Xiaoya's eyes brightened: "It's great to be able to read. When my child grows up, I will definitely let him study!"

"Actually, you can read it yourself. If you read more now, you can teach your children in the future." Zhu Wanwan said, "Do you want to learn to read characters from me?"
