1980 My literary era

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he spent a day paying New Year greetings. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, it was someone else's turn to pay New Year greetings to Lin Weimin. Lin Weimin did not expect that people from the foundation would come to pay him New Year greetings.

A few years ago, Lin Weimin asked Zheng Guo to send New Year's goods to the homes of several expatriate staff members of the foundation, which moved everyone very much. Xu Yongguang, the secretary-general of the foundation, specially brought people to visit Lin Weimin to pay New Year's greetings.

During this visit, Xu Yongguang also reported to Lin Weimin the donations received by the foundation during this period.

Although it has not been established for a long time, the foundation has gained great attention nationwide due to the significant response generated by the Hope Project. Many ordinary people have enthusiastically donated money, including some highly respected seniors in the cultural field.

Mr. Wan, Mr. Balao who is far away in Shanghai, Mr. Bing Xin who is nearly ninety years old, Mr. Qi Gong, a calligrapher, etc...

In less than two months, the foundation's total donations have exceeded 80 million.

"According to the current situation, the total amount of donations raised by our foundation this year is likely to reach 100 million. Teacher Lin, without your appeal, the foundation would not have started so smoothly!" Xu Yongguang, the young secretary-general There was excitement and excitement on his face when he said this.

"This is all thanks to everyone, and it is also inseparable from the publicity help of friends in the media. Mr. Ba heard about our foundation and Project Hope in Shanghai, and wrote me a letter specifically, asking us to take good care of this project. If you keep doing something, it will be a good thing that will last forever!" Lin Weimin said.

The comrades from the foundation nodded in unison. They knew about Balao's donation. Writing letters was very private and they had no way of knowing. Everyone was very excited when they learned about it from Lin Weimin.

The Spring Festival holiday is only three days, and time flies by.

I just got back to work after the holiday. The second issue of "Contemporary" this year is being sent to all parts of the country, and everyone has not yet fully returned to work.

Lin Weimin went to Renyi after get off work in the evening. In the first half of last year, he gave the drama script of "Burning" to Renyi.

We attach great importance to people and arts. We have been preparing for it for more than half a year, and the rehearsals have only been completed recently.

Today is the internal review of the Arts Committee, and all the people here are old acquaintances.

"Teacher Lan", "Teacher Ouyang", "Teacher Yu", Lin Weimin said hello one by one, and then sat in the first row of the auditorium, next to Lin Zhaohua, the director of the play.

The curtain opened on the stage and the plot unfolded. Lin Weimin whispered to Lin Zhaohua from time to time while watching the performance.

At the end of the performance, everyone stood up and applauded.

The Arts Committee was very satisfied with the effect of the entire play and unanimously approved it.

When Lin Zhaohua was communicating with Lin Weimin, he suddenly thought of Feng Yuanzheng, "It's a pity that Xiao Feng is not in the country, otherwise he would be just right to play the leading role."

The male lead in "Burning" is a failed flirt. Feng Yuanzheng fits the role both in terms of acting and appearance. Unfortunately, he already went to study in West Germany last year.

The male lead is now played by Ding Zhicheng, who is also a young actor from Renyi. He and Feng Yuanzheng were admitted to the Renyi actor training class. He later acted in many film and television dramas. In terms of role compatibility, he is less interesting than Feng Yuanzheng.

Lin Weimin recalled Feng Yuanzheng's image, "Don't mention it, it's really a pity!"

Lin Weimin asked about the performance date of "Burning" again, and was told that it would be in mid-March. Lin Weimin regretted: "Then I won't be able to catch the premiere of our play."

So Zhi smiled and said: "The premiere of any play is not as important as your wedding. Don't forget to send invitations to the courtyard later. Everyone is looking forward to attending your wedding!"

Tao Huimin is currently working in People's Art. She has been going to People's Art every day since she finished filming "Dream of Red Mansions" last fall. However, her situation is special and she has not played a role in People's Art until now.

Therefore, it is no secret that Lin Weimin is getting married.

"I don't want to make a big deal, so I won't send out invitations. I'll call you in advance when it's time to have a meal."

"Okay, then I have to prepare a big gift for you." Souzhi said with a smile.

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, it was the weekend, and Zheng Guo wanted to treat him.

Thanks to Lin Weimin's relationship with Zheng's father, his job transfer was easily accomplished, and now he has become a member of the China Youth Education and Development Foundation.

After taking up his new position, Zheng Guo was full of ambition and ready to do something big.

The meeting place was set at Shi Tiesheng's house. It was cold now and it was inconvenient for Shi Tiesheng to go out.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, everyone gathered at Shi Tiesheng's home.

The Chinese New Year has just passed, and although I have already gone to work, the New Year feeling has not faded away, and it is very lively when we meet.

Zheng Guo looked high-spirited and looked completely different when he followed him at the cultural center.

More than a dozen people gathered together, and several lesbians were busy working. Zheng Guo pulled Lin Weimin aside and said mysteriously: "Do you want to hear something good?"

"I don't want to hear it!" Lin Weimin didn't give Zheng Guo a chance to show off.

Zheng Guo looked bitter and said, "You really don't want to hear it? This is a great thing!"

"You love to talk but don't talk."

Lin Weimin stood up and was about to chat with Shi Tiesheng, but Zheng Guo grabbed him and said, "Okay, I'll tell you!"

He paused and saw that Lin Weimin's expression did not change, and felt very boring.

"Your novel is going to be included in Chinese textbooks!"

Lin Weimin's expression finally became surprised, "Take Chinese textbooks?"

Seeing his expression, Zheng Guo felt relieved, "Is it a surprise? A surprise?"

"What news did your dad get?"

"Hey, don't ask if there are more." Zheng Guo picked up Qiao.

For most of the period since the founding of the People's Republic of China, textbooks published by the People's Education Press have been used everywhere.

In the autumn of 1951, the first set of national primary and secondary school textbooks, compiled by the People's Education Press and modeled on Soviet textbooks, was published. Since then, it has been revised every six or seven years.

The current national primary and secondary school textbooks are the latest revised national ten-year primary and secondary school textbooks. They have been used for ten years and are the longest-used textbooks since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Before Lin Weimin could ask Zheng Guo in detail, Qu Xiaowei stood behind the two of them and sounded like a loudspeaker after hearing Zheng Guo's words.

"Will Weimin's novel be included in Chinese language textbooks?"

When everyone heard the sound, their faces were full of surprise.

Zheng Guo immediately pressed Qu Xiaowei down, "What are you calling for?"

"I'm not surprised!"

Qu Xiaowei did not feel guilty at all about leaking confidential information, and confirmed to Zheng Guo again with excitement in his eyes, "Is Weimin's novel really going to be included in Chinese textbooks?"

Zheng Guo said helplessly: "Please lower your voice, you haven't even written your horoscope yet!"

"Tell me in detail, tell me quickly!" Qu Xiaowei urged.

The others no longer cared about the work at hand, and all came together, barely carrying a small bench to listen to the class.

Zheng Guo smiled bitterly, and Lin Weimin smiled and said: "I'll let you play, come on, just say it!"

When talking about Lin Weimin's novels being included in textbooks, we must first start with the nine-year compulsory education.

Since 1986, the country has officially implemented nine-year compulsory education, which is now in its third year.

Today, primary and secondary schools across the country still use the 10-year textbooks published by the People's Education Press in 1978. In fact, the textbooks have not been updated to keep up with policy changes.

In 1986, the Ministry of Education promulgated the "Chinese Teaching Syllabus for Full-time Primary and Secondary Schools" in order to revise the teaching materials. Unfortunately, this revision was just a patchwork.

The ten-year system was changed to a nine-year system. The changes that have taken place are fundamental, and the reform of teaching materials is imminent.

In January this year, the Ministry of Education just promulgated the "Chinese Teaching Syllabus for Full-time Primary and Secondary Schools in Nine-Year Compulsory Education", requiring the People's Education and Education Society to prepare one set of teaching materials for the "63 System" and the "54 System".

In this new textbook reform, Lin Weimin's works have become one of the "material libraries" of the People's Education Society.

"I didn't expect that Weimin's novels are all included in textbooks!" Qu Xiaowei exclaimed.

"It's reasonable. But I didn't expect it to be so soon. I thought I would have to wait until he was forty years old." Yao Shuzhi said.

Qu Xiaowei asked: "Zheng Guo, do you know the specific situation? For example, which grade of textbook are you studying? Which novel was chosen?"

Zheng Guo shook his head, "How can you know now? Do you think compiling teaching materials is just playing house? This revision of the teaching materials is a major overhaul, and it will take only a few years to complete. The People's Education Society just received this order, and I just listened. Got a letter."

Everyone was a little regretful when they heard this. This situation was a half-eaten meal, which was a bit unsatisfactory.

Liu Haiyan said: "Guess, everyone, which novel by Weimin can be used as a textbook?"

After hearing what she said, everyone suddenly became interested again.

Cheng Ximi took the lead and said: "Farewell My Concubine."

Liu Haiyan immediately denied, "It's impossible. The orientation of "Farewell My Concubine" is not suitable for students to read, and it can't be selected as a teaching material."

Liu Haiyan is a middle school teacher and is very clear about the criteria for selecting texts in Chinese textbooks. “The texts in the textbooks should be exemplary, beautiful in both text and quality, and moderate in difficulty.”

Qu Xiaowei said: "I think the part in "The Horse Trapper" where Bayin and Bater were teenagers on the grasslands of Inner Mongolia should be in line with the requirements of the textbook."

Everyone nodded, feeling that his idea was sound.

"I think "The Ming Dynasty 1566" is also good. There are many passages that are worth excerpting and are related to history." Yao Shuzhi said.

"Shu Zhi is right, "The Ming Dynasty 1566" is indeed very good. But haven't you thought about those short stories for the people?" Shi Tiesheng pondered.

Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard this.

Indeed, when I was thinking about it just now, everyone subconsciously ignored Lin Weimin's short story.

It’s not that everyone can’t remember it, it’s just that Lin Weimin’s short stories are too rare and very old.

"After what Tiesheng said, I think Weimin's first article "A Penny Matter" is quite in line with the text selection criteria. It is positive, positive, and at the same time has practical significance."

"Yes, that novel also won the National Outstanding Short Story Award. That's quite fitting."

The compilation process of the textbooks was counted in years. Everyone was discussing things far away with great interest, but Lin Weimin, the person involved, was left aside.
