1980 My literary era

Muxidi high-rise.

Mr. Wan's family is finishing their meal.

Wan Fang looked at her father's expression and said, "I see that the criticism of Wei Min's novel in the newspapers is very popular now. His novel is quite popular."

Mr. Wan paused while picking up the food, "You want to ask why I didn't publish an article to support my students, right?"

"Look, that's not what I meant." Wan Fang said coquettishly.

Mr. Wan shook his head, "That's what you mean."

Seeing that her father had seen through her thoughts, Wan Fang no longer evaded, "Dad, Wei Min's novel this time is really very good. Some of the criticisms in the newspaper are indeed a bit nitpicky."

Mr. Wan nodded slightly and said, "I know."

"If you know, then you can help speak out for the people!" Wan Fang said casually.

What Wan Fang thought was a simple matter made Mr. Wan silent.

She didn't know what she said wrongly, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was silent until she finished the meal.

After eating, Mr. Wan entered the study.

In the meantime, Wan Fang went into the study to give him a fruit plate, while Mr. Wan was writing.

"Dad, please eat some fruit."

"Okay, wait a minute."

Mr. Wan agreed, but the pen in his hand did not stop.

"What are you writing about?"

Mr. Wan was concentrating on writing and did not answer Wan Fang's question.

She waited for a while and saw that her father still had no intention of stopping, so she walked to the desk.

Mr. Wan was busy writing on a page of letter paper, and she glanced at the content - "Perseverance in Thought and Literature, Starting from Farewell My Concubine".

Just by looking at the name, Wan Fang instantly understood what her father was writing.

She was secretly happy, it seemed that her father had listened to what she just said.

She was also happy for Lin Weimin. With her father's opinion piece, criticism of Weimin in outside newspapers and magazines should be restrained.

Wan Fang just stood next to Mr. Wan and watched him finish writing this article.

Mr. Wan raised his head slightly tiredly, and then noticed Wan Fang standing next to him.

"when did you come?"

"I've been here a long time ago and have been watching you finish writing."

Putting the pen cap on and placing the pen horizontally on the letter paper, Mr. Wan asked with a smile: "Are you satisfied this time?"

"Thanks dad."

Mr. Wan shook his head, "Don't thank me, I'm not doing this for you."

Wan Fang pouted, "What do you mean? Are you doing this for Lin Weimin? I am your biological daughter."

"Didn't you just hint at me? Why are you jealous again?"

"I didn't." Wan Fang denied, "I speak for the people, and it's out of the brother-sister relationship. But if you say that you wrote this article for him, not for me, then you are talking about me. My daughter is not as important as my disciple Weimin. So what kind of brother-sister relationship do I need? The relationship between father and daughter is gone."

"This child..." Mr. Wan frowned, but couldn't help showing a doting look.

"Ring, ring, ring!" Just as the father and daughter were talking, the phone on the desk rang.

Mr. Wan answered the phone, "Hello... Comrade Wenjing, hello..."

After a few words, Mr. Wan hung up the phone.

"Dad, what's the matter?" Wan Fang asked.

Mr. Wan's face showed a look of relief, "The ratings of Weimin's novels are out."

"How much?" Wan Fang asked.

Wan Fang had already heard from her father about the questionnaire.

"9.4 points."

"9.4 points?" Wan Fang repeated with a smile on her face, "So the agreement between Weimin and Renyi has been reached?"

Mr. Wan shook his head, "Not even close."

"What's wrong?"

Mr. Wan tapped his fingers on the manuscript he had just finished writing.

A few days later, in the back building of the Chinese Literature Society, there was the editorial office of "Contemporary".

As soon as Lin Weimin came in from outside, he saw his colleagues gathered around him.

"What's going on?"

Seeing Lin Weimin coming, his colleagues immediately said excitedly: "Weimin! Come and take a look!"

"What are you looking at?" Lin Weimin said and walked over.

It was still the familiar "Guangming Daily". Lin Weimin subconsciously thought that it was probably another critical article against him and "Farewell My Concubine", but when he saw the signature, he froze.

"Perseverance in Thought and Literature, Starting from "Farewell My Concubine"", Wan Jiabao.

"This is..." Lin Weimin's expression was full of surprise.

Rong Shihui patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Silly boy, your teacher is here to support you!"

Hearing what he said, his colleagues all laughed.

Isn't it just to stand and cheer? His disciples were criticized repeatedly in newspapers and magazines, and the teacher finally couldn't sit still.

Given Mr. Wan's current status, it seems incredible that he would personally write an article in a newspaper in order to stand up for his students.

The most interesting thing is that the media chosen by Mr. Wan, Guangming Daily, had just published an article criticizing Lin Weimin by a literary senior a few days ago.

As a result, an article was published today that also commented on Lin Weimin and "Farewell My Concubine", but one was a high-profile criticism, and the other was an implicit but firm praise.

This kind of stinginess and protectiveness unique to literati makes people feel inexplicably happy when they look at it.

"Hey, this Mr. Wan is really..." Zhu Changsheng smacked his lips and hesitated for a few seconds before saying: "What a protector!"

"Hehe, the most interesting thing is the place where this article was posted. It made such a slap in the face!" Liu Yin couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it.

Colleagues talked about what Mr. Wan had done.

Taking advantage of this time, Lin Weimin read the article from beginning to end, and his heart was wrapped in a warm current.

Everyone is right. Regardless of the article, Mr. Wan’s original intention to speak out for himself can be seen just from the media he chose.

"Guangming Daily" is not something that anyone can get into if they want to. Lin Weimin knows very well that Mr. Wan must have spent a lot of favors.

And this favor was entirely because of him.

Mr. Wan's article "Perseverance in Thought and Literature, Starting from Farewell My Concubine" became a hot topic among all colleagues of the Chinese Literature Society on the day it was published.

Everyone is lamenting Lin Weimin.

You say it’s okay to say that someone else’s novels are good, but you have found such an awesome teacher.

It doesn't matter if you find such an awesome teacher, the key is to protect your weaknesses.

Thinking about it makes people feel envious and jealous.

On this day, Lin Weimin not only became the focus of attention of everyone at the Chinese Literature Society, but also became the focus of millions of readers of Guangming Daily across the country.

Lu Guo Mao Ba Lao Wan could have a living literary giant take the initiative to speak out on his behalf. Lin Weimin's name quickly attracted the attention of readers in a short period of time.

With the popularity of "People's Literature" and the popularity of "Farewell My Concubine", this attention has gradually expanded to the whole people.
