1980 My literary era

The public opinion caused by "Hunting" is getting bigger and bigger. It started with discussions from readers, and then reviews from newspapers and periodicals, including both praise and criticism. This is a normal phenomenon, and no one pays too much attention to it.

But with the fate of a certain JG newspaper, the direction of public opinion gradually changed.

The argument in the newspaper article is very interesting, saying that Lin Weimin's novel is suspected of excusing criminals.

Once the article was published, it attracted great attention.

The reason why this article has received such attention is not only because of the popularity of the novel "Hunting", but also because of the identity of this newspaper, which represents the authoritative public opinion in the field of politics in our country.

Suddenly, the discussion that was originally limited to the literary level was immediately pulled to the political and legal level.

Everyone who reads this article knows that things may be going big!

Tong Zhonggui showed this newspaper to Lin Weimin, and he couldn't laugh or cry after reading it.

In the novel, it is clearly stated that Hu Tao is lying, and Teacher Gao also has a solid alibi, but the author of this article can't seem to link him to the crime.

Obviously, their intentions are not pure.

After reading the article, he only had two feelings. One was that the familiar outline was coming online, and the other was the sense of déjà vu that provoked a fight.

The entire article has no logic or reliable arguments. It is purely conjecture based on power thinking and disregarding the facts. Lin Weimin can't help but think of the remarks of a retired editor-in-chief of a certain newspaper in later generations, which are almost identical.

It seemed that he was being targeted.

The powerful do not need a reason to bully the weak. The difference is that if it is not you today, it may be someone else.

"Teacher Lin, this article..." Tong Zhonggui asked worriedly.

Lin Weimin waved his hand, "It doesn't matter. Some people will always find reasons to cause trouble. Even if there is no seam in the egg, flies will land on it and rub their hands."

Seeing that Lin Weimin's attitude was as open-minded as ever, Tong Zhonggui felt a little at peace in his heart and asked again: "Isn't it going to get bigger and bigger?"

"Can you stop him if he wants to make trouble?" Lin Weimin asked with a smile.

Tong Zhonggui understood what Lin Weimin meant and felt helpless.

The article in the JG newspaper was like a rallying order to encircle and suppress Lin Weimin. Newspapers soon followed, questioning Lin Weimin's ideology.

Whenever the issue of "discussing the mind" arises, the parties involved are basically unable to defend themselves.

If someone makes an inference about your guilt and then asks you to prove your innocence, how can you prove it?

Do you want to be a Liuzi for once?

The person who wronged you knows better than you how wronged you are.

What's even more ironic is that because of the propaganda and deception of these newspapers, more and more people have begun to react to the problems of "Hunting".

The trend of criticizing "Hunting" and Lin Weimin became popular under the vanguard of several newspapers, and many people who did not know the truth also participated in it.

Think about it and you will know that China has a population of more than 1 billion, and the sales volume of "Contemporary" is only 2 million copies at most. How many of these people have never read the novel "Hunting" at all.

These people were just hearing what they heard and consciously stood on the side of justice. They mixed in the crowd and righteously condemned Lin Weimin.

First it was "Contemporary", then the Chinese Literature Society, and then the Publishing Department.

Colleagues and friends around Lin Weimin were all dumbfounded as they watched the development of the situation.

Everyone thought that the content of "Hunting" was a bit exaggerated before, but the reality taught everyone a hard lesson.

Isn't this a perfect replica of the plot in "The Hunt"?

It’s ironic to the core!

Due to attacks from outside public opinion, the atmosphere in the editorial department of "Contemporary" has been very gloomy recently, including the Chinese Literature Society.

At this time, Lin Weimin received a call from the Cultural Association.

First, he warmed up to Lin Weimin, and his attitude was very friendly. Then he said that he couldn't stand the recent criticism of "Hunting" and Lin Weimin himself. It was completely fabricated and malicious, and he also said that "Literary News" could give Lin Weimin some advice. Provide a voice channel.

After hearing these words, Lin Weimin immediately figured out the purpose of the call, and then declined the other person's kindness.

Being scolded, criticized, and being used as a weapon are two things that Lin Weimin doesn't like, so why bother looking for one more thing to worry about?

When he was about to go to Cheng Wanchun's office to chat, Cheng Wanchun asked someone to come to him first.

When he arrived at Cheng Wuchun's office, he looked melancholy.

"Am I right? Once the novel is published, there will definitely be trouble."

Lin Weimin said: "Leader, this is just an afterthought."

Cheng Wanchun glared at him, and Lin Weimin sat down and talked about the call from the Cultural Association just now.

Cheng Wuchun scolded: "The weasel paid New Year's greetings to the rooster. You didn't promise them, did you?"

"I'm not stupid!"

"That's good." Cheng Wanchun nodded, and then said thoughtfully: "You have to be careful during this period!"

Lin Weimin frowned, "Have you heard anything?"

"It's just a rumor..."

"What rumors?"

"It is said that some family members of victims of rape committed by strong women have asked Y to ban your novel!" Cheng Wuchun said worriedly.

Lin Weimin was surprised, "Is it such a big deal?"

He thought about being asked to write a self-criticism, being suspended from work, etc., but he did not expect that people would go straight to the root and destroy the work.

No, if you look at it from the root, it should be humane destruction of yourself.

"What are you kidding about? Don't be so playful!" Cheng Wanchun reprimanded and said with a serious look: "They probably won't be able to do this, but even if they can't do it, if the noise is too big, we will be very passive. Especially for you, the impact will be great."

"I won't write novels because I'm afraid of them!" Lin Weimin sneered.

Cheng Wuchun shook his head helplessly, "You, you, when will you change your temper?"

Not long after Cheng Wuchun and Lin Weimin finished talking, it was reported that a certain department held a meeting to criticize Lin Weimin's "Hunting" by name. The tone was basically the same as what was in the newspaper. The Chinese Literature Society was under increasing pressure.

The banning of books was spread by people who did not know the truth, and it was said that many family members of strong female perpetrators wanted to go to Beijing to seek explanations from Lin Weimin, as if Lin Weimin was the strong female perpetrator.

According to current rumors, Lin Weimin should be punished next.

The president, Cheng Wuchun, was urgently summoned to the department for a meeting. When he came back, his face was as dark as a pot, and he found Lin Weimin in his office.

"What's going on? It seems like the meeting is not going well?"

Cheng Wuchun remained silent and stared at Lin Weimin for a long time before saying: "The pressure in the department is also very high. The leaders of several brother units have asked about this matter, and I hope there can be a resolution."

"What to deal with? Deal with me or the book?" Lin Weimin asked.

Cheng Wuchun opened his mouth and said with a bit of worry: "Both. Deal with the book first, then you."

"You really dare to deal with books? Are they not afraid of making trouble?" Lin Weimin was a little surprised.

Cheng Wuchun said patiently: "If we really want to deal with the book, it will cause too much trouble and it will not end well. People say this because they naturally want the higher-ups to express their stance."

Lin Weimin nodded and understood, the art of negotiation! The asking price is high, and the money is paid back on arrival.

"The current situation is that many family members really have strong opinions. They have written and called several departments repeatedly to report the problems with your novel. Some people have even gone to the department.

What the other side means is that you'd better write a check and publish it in the newspaper, and the other thing is to be removed from office. "

"What does it mean?" Lin Weimin asked, knowing that Cheng Wanchun hadn't finished speaking yet.

"The higher-ups are naturally arguing with reason. This matter of yours has nothing to do with your job. Removal from your post would be too much, and even suspension is impossible."

Lin Weimin understood Cheng Wuchun's subtext, "So I have to write an inspection to deal with how many units?"

"It's not about dealing with those units, but giving an explanation to those families." Cheng Wuchun sighed.

Lin Weimin shook his head, "According to this logic, when I wrote "The Wind", did I have to kowtow to the little devil a few times? After all, it hurt people's national sentiments."

Cheng Wanchun stared at Lin Weimin, "You kid, don't be stupid!"

"How can this be called a crime?" Lin Weimin's face showed no anger at all. He continued: "I understand the difficulty above, but it is impossible for me to write this inspection."

"My novel was originally written about a slander case. What does it have to do with the victims? If it is extended in this way, then literary works, film and television works, etc., cannot have plots of people being wronged?"

"These are two different things. The impact of your novel is too bad!"

"Bad? No matter how bad it is, it's not as bad as those people with ulterior motives!" Lin Weimin's face was grim.

Cheng Wuchun was not angry and asked, "What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting. I won't be able to pass the inspection. I don't have any objection to how the higher-ups deal with me."

Cheng Wanchun stared at him for a while, then sighed helplessly: "I guessed that you had this attitude. You are so embarrassing."

The tone of these words is almost exactly the same as the dialogue in Lin Weimin's novel, which is really a great irony.

"Anyway, it's impossible to write an inspection. If you finish writing it, wouldn't it be the same as Teacher Liu? It's so sad. It's not necessary. Let them make trouble!

I want to see if this unreasonable trouble can really cause trouble? "

Cheng Wuchun said: "You have to think clearly. Originally, the superiors asked you to write an inspection and that's it. If you are so stubborn, you are not giving the superiors face. You may be suspended or even dismissed."

Lin Weimin spread his hands and said, "If you stop, stop, if you don't want to, don't do it. What am I afraid of?"

Cheng Wuchun completely gave up persuading Lin Weimin and said dejectedly: "Okay, I know your attitude. I will try to persuade the leader again, but it's hard to just show your attitude!"

Lin Weimin shrugged, "Love whoever you want!"

After saying that, he was about to leave, then turned around and said, "Leader, haven't you watched "Hunting" yet?"

Cheng Wuchun frowned, "Why do you ask this?"

"It's okay, I suggest you take a look!"

After speaking, Lin Weimin left.

Cheng Wanchun, who was confused, found the tenth issue of "Contemporary" and opened "Hunting".

After reading for a long time, I finally understood what Lin Weimin meant when he left.

He laughed angrily, "This bastard! He doesn't even use curse words when he curses."

But after he was angry, he read the novel again, and he had to admit in his heart that the depiction in this novel was indeed too real and vivid.

Cheng Wuchun couldn't help but sigh, didn't he know that it was unfair to Lin Weimin?

But sometimes, when you are in your position, you often can’t help yourself!

After more than a month of fermentation, the criticism against "Hunting" and Lin Weimin became louder and louder. The vast majority of people in this society blindly followed it. Later, many people even simplified the first-hand "Hunting" They have never seen or heard the plot of the original version. They only know that this is a novel to whitewash criminals.

The emotions of the masses have been completely aroused, and the goals of those with ulterior motives have been achieved.

Under the fierce public opinion, the superiors could no longer withstand it, and the leader found Lin Weimin in his office for a talk.

It can be regarded as an ultimatum. If Lin Weimin does not write this inspection, he will be suspended.

Lin Weimin faced the leader's serious expression with a playful smile.

"Look at you, how big of a deal this is! Isn't it just a check-up? Can't I just write it?"

The leader was full of suspicion about Lin Weimin's attitude. He had stiffened his neck before, as if he would not write this inspection even if he was shot. Why did he change his appearance now?

But no matter how things change, it’s good to have this attitude and put things at ease!

"Leader, borrow a pen and paper!"

Lin Weimin wrote as he pleased. The leader was once again surprised by Lin Weimin's enthusiasm and lent him pen and paper.

Then under his gaze, Lin Weimin wrote the "examination" in just two minutes.

The leader looked at the scrawled words on the paper, frowned, and asked, "What do you mean?"
