Entertainment: My knife has made the whole world sad

Every story is a classic!

Zhu Xiahua is not exaggerating at all! !

In this thick collection of short stories, there are not only masterpieces handed down by famous writers such as Mr. Lu Xun, but also classic short stories from the past and present, such as Liu Cixin's science fiction short stories "Hearing the Truth in the Morning" and "The Wandering Earth"!

For ordinary readers who do not have such high literary attainments, they naturally think that the short stories in the second half are more interesting and attractive as a whole, but for these readers with literary attainments, they know how terrible the quality of Lao Zei's short story collection is!

Even in Zhu Xiahua's world, this novel can be called the "first book" of Xiazhou literature from ancient times to the present!

No one else!

Since he got this book in the morning, Zhu Xiahua has been locking himself in the study, savoring almost every chapter of this novel over and over again.

"Diary of a Madman", a diary-style novel, reveals the "cannibalistic" nature of feudal ethics through the image of the persecuted "madman" and the self-narration of the "madman".

"The True Story of Ah Q" and "Dawn Blossoms Plucked at Dusk" are also highly literary, reflecting the social reality and deformed Xiazhou society at that time.

Zhu Xiahua can feel the soul behind each article. It is obvious that Lao Zei plays himself as a different author and a different role. For example, the previous few articles are obviously different from the later "Back View" and "Tea House" in style and soul.

If it is not certain that Lao Zei wrote it alone, Zhu Xiahua will definitely think that these articles are 100% not from the same author. After all, in this world, who else besides Lao Zei can write such high-level articles?

Among them, Zhu Xiahua's favorite is undoubtedly the "Wild Grass" series!

This is a collection of several prose poems, with a profound and meaningful style and mysterious and beautiful imagery. It is the only article in the entire novel collection that makes Zhu Xiahua look dazed and get goose bumps all over his body.

The contents of these essays are all-encompassing, with profound ideological connotations and unique and perfect artistic forms, as if they are telling the life philosophy of this soul.

"Xiazhou literary world..."

"It has changed."

Zhu Xiahua murmured.

...

When this collection of short stories by Lao Zei was just released, readers from all over Xiazhou, and even readers from all over Kyushu, did not realize what this collection of stories meant.

After all, this collection of short stories has a very high reading threshold. It can be said to be the highest level and the most artistic of all Lao Zei's works. Ordinary readers can't understand it at all, but just feel that it is mysterious and impressive. The science fiction of some science fiction short stories in the back is particularly exciting.

In addition, the audience of short stories is not as good as some of the entertainment works published by Lao Zei before, or even as good as historical novels such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", so in fact, when the novel was first released, this collection of short stories did not set off a big wave of discussion on the entire network.

But what really changed the situation...

was the voices of many well-known authors in the Xiazhou Writers Association! !

Around the afternoon, the first person to post on social media was Liu Zhen, a well-known writer in Xiazhou.

[Liu Zhen]: As the old saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts.

But I just read the first collection of short stories by Lao Zei, and I think this collection of short stories can become the most dazzling pearl in the long history of Xiazhou literature.

…

Teacher Liu Zhen has created more than one masterpiece. Although he is old now and basically no longer publishes new books, as a top literary creator from the last century, Teacher Liu Zhen's words are quite influential in the whole Xiazhou.

As soon as these words came out, they fermented on the entire network and instantly boiled the entire network!

"Oh my god! Teacher Liu Zhen gave such a high evaluation?"

"The most dazzling pearl..."

"I can see that this book seems to be awesome, but I don't know how awesome it is."

"I feel that the old thief in this book has become an immortal. I like "Wild Grass" and "Diary of a Madman" so much!"

"I like "Back View" the most. Is there any similar one? The scene in the article where the father climbs over the platform railway to buy oranges is exactly the same as the figure of my own father, and is very similar to my father in real life."

"Praise of the Poplars is wonderful and beautiful! Kong Yiji is also a classic."

"Teacher Liu Zhen, can you analyze this book?"

The popularity of the old thief among the young people in Xiazhou is extremely exaggerated. Seeing that a literary giant like Teacher Liu Zhen is praising the old thief, these readers and fans are naturally very proud and happy, and they started discussing it in the blog square.

Originally, these fans and readers thought that Lao Zei's work would not have as much influence as the previous "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but just one hour later, they found out that they were wrong...

Xiazhou Writers Association Honorary Member, Teacher Wang Long said:

[More than 80% of the works in this collection of short stories are definitely qualified to be included in Xiazhou's textbooks! ]

[Even when I think about having such works included in Xiazhou's textbooks, so that our children can receive such literary education from elementary school and junior high school, I can't help but burst into tears. ]

[This is not only a treasure of Xiazhou literature, but also a treasure of the entire Xiazhou people! ]

Five minutes later, Xiazhou's well-known author Fenghuang Yufei said excitedly:

[Look at the catalog of this collection of short stories, no one dares to say that Lao Zei is not a knowledgeable person! ]

[The intelligence of the old thief is unprecedentedly high. Novels are of course a manifestation of the spiritual level, but the fact that the old thief's articles can become classics is a manifestation of higher intelligence. 】

【He is God! 】

Before the old thief appeared, Wan Wenchao, who was once the number one figure in the online literary world [Six-winged Butterfly] and had competed with "Zhu Xian", looked up and said:

[I feel honored to have competed on the same platform with such a literary giant. This should be the greatest and greatest honor in my life, bar none. 】

[The artistry and literature of this collection of short stories are unheard of and unseen in my fifty years of reading history. Maybe you still don’t understand what this collection of short stories means. Time will tell. I’m ready to let you know. My son memorized the entire book. 】

…

From the initial joy of seeing a well-known author publicly express his praise, to the excitement of more and more praise, and now...

Almost all famous Xiazhou authors have posted articles marveling at this collection of short stories.

Thousands of netizens were stunned.

"This collection of short stories..."

"Are you so awesome?"

The scene in front of them is something that these netizens and readers can hardly imagine!

Even before the release of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", such a feat had not been achieved. This is more than half of the well-known authors in Xiazhou, and as time goes by, the number is still increasing!

Some literary creators who had not read this short story collection at the first time started reading it after hearing the crazy recommendation from Writers Association members or writer friends. …

While reading, my heart kept beating!

It's like an adventurer has found an incredible treasure at an unlikely node and in an unlikely location, and it's a treasure whose quality makes history!

…

The whole network is going crazy!

Even Xiazhou's Education Bureau was immediately shocked and began researching this collection of short stories.

Zhu Xiahua, the president of the Xiazhou Writers Association and winner of the Jiuzhou Literature Award, published a public post on his blog more than a year later, which completely lit the fuse of this crazy bomb, making the influence of this collection of short stories surge to Reached the pinnacle!

Zhu Xiahua's comments after reading are full of praise, and they are not praise from peers, but more like the younger generation looking up to the senior.

In Zhu Xiahua's after-reading comments, he said, "More than 90% of the works in this collection of short stories, that one is just a small article of a few hundred words, have exceeded my life's works and achievements, and are my life's work." A height that can never be reached.”

For Zhu Xiahua, the number one person in modern literature in Xiazhou, to say such words publicly has proven that this collection of short stories has completely conquered Zhu Xiahua and made him willing to give up his title as the number one person in modern literature.

What’s even more terrifying is that such a collection of novels...

Two more to go!

With the quality and quantity of such short stories, they are easily available, which is enough to prove that the old thief's literary attainments have reached an unprecedented peak in Xiazhou!

…

Lin Qiu is the most aware of the influence of these short masterpieces.

These are some of the most classic works from the past that have been tested by time for so many years. If so many masterpieces of literary giants are gathered into a collection of short stories, how can they not be very influential?

If it weren't for the fact that a collection of short stories could accommodate too few works, Lin Qiu's five or six collections of Xiazhou's novels would be more than enough, so there was no need to worry about running out of works.

However, since the release of this collection of short stories, Lin Qiu has become more determined to never expose the old thief in his life. Even if it is 99% true, Lin Qiu will not admit it.

If Lin Qiu pretended to be the works of these literary masters and gained fame and fortune, Lin Qiu would not even be able to sleep well if he did not have such a face.

Lin Qiu respects those who are destined to stay in history from the bottom of his heart.

Just as some Xiazhou literature writers said, they saw different souls behind many articles in this collection of short stories.

In this case, it allows these readers to have spiritual communication with these souls from previous lives...

This is the best ending.

…

Judging from the current public opinion situation, there is a good chance whether the articles in this short story collection can be selected into the textbook. After all, the entire Writers Association and the Education Bureau are greatly shocked, and there are constant rumors.

For many netizens and readers in Xiazhou, it is just four words:

“Witness history!!”

"I'm going, I really want to witness history! You know, when I met the old thief, the old thief was still writing about Fairy Sword. In the blink of an eye, the old thief's works are going to be included in the textbooks?"

"Really, I never thought that my son would learn from the old thief's articles for reading comprehension..."

"A living legend."

In the world of netizens, it is a sure thing that the old thief's articles will be selected into the textbooks, because many of the articles in these novels are of a very high standard, so high that even the authors of the original textbooks came out to publicly express their amazement!

There is no reason not to be selected.

It just feels a little mysterious.

Many people think that from the beginning, they just followed Internet articles and liked novels by old thieves. In the blink of an eye, in a few years, it has become like this...

Through this collection of short stories, it can be said that the old thief has officially reached the pinnacle, the undisputed pinnacle, in the Xiazhou literary world!

…

Changes in primary and secondary school textbooks are not something difficult to understand.

After all, textbooks are revised once every few years, sometimes every year, but basically there will be no large-scale changes. A few articles may be deleted and a few added in a year, but next year's textbook revision is really interesting.

For the first time, thousands of netizens are looking forward to the new textbook. It can be said to be a major change in Xiazhou Chinese courses.

Not only the students have to learn again, but also the teachers have to learn again.

Even after being selected into the textbook, Lin Qiu could not interfere or make too many remarks, because under this exam-oriented education system, even the author himself was confused about the reading comprehension of those articles.

In previous lives, more than one writer expressed this problem on the show, saying things like "I didn't even know this article expressed such emotions" and "I failed in the reading comprehension of my own article."

So since the author can't answer the reading questions in his article, is it necessary for reading comprehension to appear in the Chinese test paper?

Of course not.

This brings up a classic literary theory concept - "the author is dead".

To put it simply, the writer as the creator of the work has lost the sole right to interpret the work. Some critics even believe that the author has "died" the moment the work is completed, and no matter what the reader does after that Any interpretation has nothing to do with the author.

Otherwise, netizens are saying things like "Old thief, you know how to kill a hammer!" "I don't know better than the old thief?"...

At first glance, this theory seems incredible and nonsense, but this is the original author!

But the fact is that the literary value of these literary and artistic works is not given by the creators themselves.

To put it simply, if the creator's explanation and understanding of the work is regarded as the only correct answer, then there will be too many problems. Almost every creator will use various methods, such as conception and artistry, to Deliberately improve the value of your work.

Even if you are the director of a bad movie or the author of a bad work, his own understanding and original meaning may be completely different from the public's understanding. In this case, how should you view this work?

What the author himself says is not as good as what the work itself says.

For a thousand readers, there are a thousand Hamlets and a thousand interpretations.

Therefore, in modern reading comprehension questions, based on some commonly recognized norms, it is almost inevitable to make an answer direction that is acceptable and recognized by most people the standard answer, and it is not difficult to understand.
