1980 My literary era

Lin Weimin was not qualified to participate in the pre-editor meeting in the club. Wei Junyi said that he would bring "Farewell My Concubine" to the pre-editor meeting for discussion, which proved that everyone was indeed not sure about the content of this novel.

The 1980s was a magical era. It seemed conservative, but it was also extremely open.

Reform and opening up not only targets the economy, but the domestic cultural sector is also faced with the impact of countless new ideas and new phenomena. Throughout this decade, a major discussion involving the participation of all the people has taken place almost every year.

Regardless of their status as officials, intellectuals, or citizens, everyone participates in the discussion of these social phenomena with great enthusiasm.

The political criticism of the novel "Farewell My Concubine" is not as large as that of recent literary works. What really troubles everyone is the unique portrayal of emotions in the novel.

This kind of content related to public order and good customs is also one of the contents that the publishing house must control.

After Qin Chaoyang attended the pre-editor meeting in the society, he came back and told Lin Weimin that the manuscript of "Farewell My Concubine" had been published and it would be published in the next issue of "People's Literature".

Lin Weimin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't be happy too early." Tan Chaoyang warned.

"It's just the beginning after the manuscript is published. There are many old editors in the agency who are opposed to publishing your novel. They are not targeting you, but to protect you.

You should know that once your manuscript is published, there will be praise, but there will definitely be no lack of criticism. Once someone with intentions comes online, the impact on you will be extremely negative. "

Lin Weimin said with a smile: "Praise is praise, criticism is criticism. I am just an author. When this work is published, it no longer fully belongs to me."

A strange look flashed in Tan Chaoyang's eyes, "Hey, I didn't expect that your kid would still have such awareness now?"

"Leader, are you looking down on others again? I have to make progress too!"

"Good thing, good thing. You have finally matured a little, and don't act like a monkey all day long."

This kind of praise is very painful for people to hear. Obviously what you said before is very good, why do you have to add that half sentence at the end?

However, what Lin Weimin said to Tan Chaoyang was not false. During the days when "Farewell My Concubine" was stuck, he also thought a little bit more.

If you can send it, send it. If you can't, send it somewhere else. If it is really not distributed everywhere, it only shows that the problem with the novel is indeed huge, and no one else is to blame.

Now that the company is sure that it can be issued, Lin Weimin's heart is completely settled.

Being able to publish it means that the society recognizes the novel. Even if there is criticism from the outside world in the future, with the big umbrella of the society, he will be less exposed to the rain.

Zhijiang, Haiyan County.

As usual, the postman threw the letter along the courtyard wall and left on his bicycle. The letter lay quietly on the ground for a long time until Yu Hua came home from get off work at the health center.

Yu Hua picked up the letter and saw the words "Editorial Department of "Contemporary"" on it, and couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation and excitement in his heart.

Back at home, my mother was cooking and my father was listening to the radio.

"Rejected again?"

Yu Hua didn't say anything. He opened the letter and read the entire letter at a glance, his expression ecstatic.

"Dad! Mom! "Contemporary" asked me to go to Yanjing to revise the manuscript!"

"What?" His father suddenly stood up from his chair, and his mother rushed out of the kitchen with a kitchen knife. The two of them looked at Yu Hua in disbelief.

""Contemporary" asked you to revise the manuscript?"

Yu Hua nodded vigorously, "Yes. They said that my novel was good and invited me to go to Yanjing to revise the manuscript. If everything goes well, it can be published."

The faces of Yu's father and mother were full of excitement. The son had been busy writing for the past two years. He had sent manuscripts countless times and had them returned countless times. He didn't know how many stamps he spent on them. He finally got through it. .

"Didn't you say when to go?" Father Yu asked.

"The letter asked me to call them back, as soon as possible."

"Okay, okay, hurry up and call me back." Yu's father said to Hua, then turned to his mother and said, "Make two more dishes for lunch today."

Mother Yu agreed with a smile on her face.

Yu Hua suppressed the smile on his face and didn't even bother to ride his bicycle. He just ran to the health center, where there was a telephone that could make outside calls.

After finally getting through the phone, Yu Hua said excitedly, "Hello, I'm Yu Hua."

There was an old-sounding voice on the other end of the phone, "You are Yu Hua. Wait a minute, I'll let Lin Weimin talk to you."

While waiting, Yu Hua could even feel the powerful beating in his chest, until a magnetic male voice appeared in the receiver. This beating seemed to silence the world, and he could only hear this sound in his ears.

"Hello? Is it Yu Hua? Are you still there?"

Lin Weimin called several times, and Yu Hua finally came to his senses, "Lin...Hello, Teacher Lin, I am Yu Hua."

"Haha, hello, Comrade Yu Hua. You should have received the letter from the editorial department inviting you to come to Beijing to revise the manuscript, right?"

"I got it, I got it," Yu Hua said hurriedly.

"As for your piece "Stars", the content is not bad, but the ending is a bit gloomy. Can you make it brighter?"

Yu Hua said without thinking: "Yes. As long as it can be published, you can let me do it from beginning to end."

Lin Weimin was amused by him, "Haha, it's not that exaggerated, just change the ending."

He asked again: "Are you having any difficulties over there? Do you need the editorial department to say hello to your unit?"

"No difficulty, no difficulty." Yu Hua felt as if his brain was malfunctioning at this moment, and he would repeat the affirmative answer. There were obviously many questions he wanted to ask, but he couldn't think of anything at this time.

Lin Weimin explained to him on the phone what he needed to pay attention to when coming to Beijing to revise the manuscript, and finally said: "Okay, that's about it. Get ready here and come over as soon as possible."

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Lin."

Yu Hua hung up the phone in a daze before realizing that he didn't hear much of what Lin Weimin said just now. He thought about it carefully for a long time, and finally remembered most of the content, and then he went home with peace of mind.

On Yanjing's side, Lin Weimin put down the phone. Yu Hua's call was to Qin Chaoyang's office.

Tan Chaoyang had been listening to the conversation between the two. He smiled and said, "Are you very happy, young man?"

Lin Weimin nodded, "It sounds a little dazed, I must be very happy."

Qin Chaoyang nodded and said: "This is the first time for a young man. It's normal. When he comes to Yanjing, you can make arrangements for him. You are his editor. At the beginning, you swore that this kid has talent, and you have to teach him well. .”

Lin Weimin said: "Editor-in-Chief, don't worry, this is an author I like, and he will definitely be responsible to the end."

In the past two days, I saw some readers talking about extra updates.

To be honest, it’s not easy for me as a part-time writer to make six thousand a day.

This book has done well and I would like to write more of it if possible.

Don’t be anxious, everyone. It will be a holiday in a few days, and this book will be on the shelves soon. There will definitely be updates after it goes on the shelves. When the time comes, we will work out detailed rules for updates, so that everyone can enjoy it.
