Literary Master 1978

At the end of the form, there is a column "Explain where you go to school and have the conditions for day study". If Tao Yumo fills in her information truthfully, she will be arranged as a day student after entering Yanda, but she left it blank.

"Yumo, why don't you fill it in?" Tao Yucheng asked.

"I want to live in the dormitory."

Tao Yumo obviously had a plan in mind. Since Lin Chaoyang came to her home, she has been sharing a room with her sister-in-law Zhao Li and nephew Tao Xiwu, and always feels that she has no personal space.

Now that she is going to college, she can't wait to move to the dormitory.

"What's good about living in a dormitory? Six or eight people in a room, and they still use a public toilet." Tao Yucheng advised.

"I'm happy!" Tao Yumo refused to listen to her elder brother's opinion and insisted on her own opinion.

Tao Yushu also wanted to persuade his sister, but his father said: "Yumo is also grown up. She has never lived in a collective life since she was a child. It is also good to live with classmates. Not only can she exercise her self-care ability, but also promote the relationship with classmates."

Tao Yumo's choice won the support of her father, which is equivalent to winning the approval of the whole family.

August is like fire, and the lotus in the Langrun Lake is in full bloom.

Tao Yumo's application form has just been submitted to the admissions office, and the admission letter has not yet come out. These days, he is still immersed in wandering the streets and alleys of Yanjing City, leaving early and returning late.

Lin Chaoyang sits in the library every day. There are not many students in Yanyuan during the summer vacation, and he has more free time. He writes novels every day after slacking off. The novel promised to "Harvest" is slowly taking shape at this pace.

During this period, Li Xiaolin sent two letters, both of which were concerned about Lin Chaoyang's creation, but Lin Chaoyang did not speed up the progress because of her urging, and still maintained his own pace. It's not that he doesn't want to write faster, but quality is also important, right?

However, harmony in life and work does not mean that everything is fine.

Recently, many local newspapers and literary magazines have published articles targeting Lin Chaoyang's "The Inevitable Rise and Decline of Scar Literature", most of which are mainly critical.

The article published in October was originally written from Lin Chaoyang's personal perspective, but because of the special nature of his identity, it has attracted the attention of many people in the literary world in the more than one month since its publication.

Whether Lin Chaoyang admits it or not, his work "The Horse Herder" has been deeply branded as "scar literature" in the past six months. He became famous for scar literature, but after becoming famous, he did something that made him lose his job. How could this not make many fans of scar literature in the literary world angry?

"Hebei Daily", "Yanjing Youth Daily", "Wenhui Daily", "Literary Review"...

In more than half a month, such articles appeared in many newspapers and magazines. The debate triggered by "The Inevitable Rise and Decline of Scar Literature" is gradually taking shape.

Faced with the sudden surge of public opinion, Lin Chaoyang was not mentally prepared, and he didn't care much.

In the later era of entertainment to death, the wave of public opinion will come once every month, and after the tide recedes, won't it be the same as it should be?

Two days later, Cui Daoyi appeared in the library of Yanda University.

"Old Cui, why are you here?"

Cui Daoyi took out a copy of "People's Literature" from his pocket.

"Are you here to send me a magazine?" Lin Chaoyang was a little surprised.

Cui Daoyi said: "It's not just to send me a magazine, I also have something to ask you."

"What's the matter?"

"Why did you publish such an article in "October"? "

Lin Chaoyang realized that he should be talking about "The Inevitable Rise and Fall of Scar Literature", and he asked puzzledly: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"Do you really not know or pretend not to know?" Cui Daoyi asked.

"Know what?" Lin Chaoyang looked confused, and he was even more confused by his question.

Seeing his expression, Cui Daoyi understood in his heart that it seemed that Lin Chaoyang did not know much about the debate and trend in the literary world.

As expected, he was a young man, and he was not afraid of tigers. Cui Daoyi shook his head and told Lin Chaoyang what he knew.

In the following two years, the situation was indeed as everyone expected. The atmosphere became more and more open, and many heavyweights in the literary and art circles also returned one after another.

However, any change in the atmosphere is not a sudden change. In the debate with different opinions, two factions gradually emerged in the literary and art circles: the Xichun faction and the Pianzuo faction.

The Xichun faction is mainly represented by writers such as Zhou, Mao, Ba, Zhang, Feng, and Chen, while the Pianzuo faction is represented by writers such as Wang, Lin, Liu, Ding, and He.

The two sides launched a protracted debate on whether the literary creation after the end of the Buzz Buzz should truly expose and reflect the scars and reality of contemporary Chinese society and whether the mainstream literature of the "Seventeen Years" should be restored.

In January 1978, Liu Xinwu's "Class Teacher" was published in "People's Literature" and quickly caused a huge response nationwide, which also gave the Xichun faction an advantage in the debate with the Pianzuo faction.

After that, "Scars" was published, and the name of "Scar Literature" spread like wildfire, and "The Shepherd" followed closely, winning the tears and hearts of countless domestic readers.

The Xichun School quickly gained the right to debate in the public opinion field, and continued to expand this advantage to the literary world and the readership.

Compared with the Xichun School, which is known for its "literature", the Pianzuo School has a stronger "official" air. They do not advocate blindly exposing scars, and constantly exert political pressure on the emergence of scar literature works.

However, public opinion is fierce, and there are many ordinary people who have suffered from buzzing. The emergence of scar literature is their outlet. Public opinion is like a flood that has broken through a dam, so how can human power stop it?

It can be said that in the past year or so, in the debate between the two parties, the Xichun faction has occupied a very dominant position.

But just this year, the leftists took advantage of the spirit of the superior meeting and launched a general attack on the Xichun faction.

With the emergence of literary and artistic works such as the drama "If I Were Real", the film script "The Thief" and "Goethe and Immorality", this debate has reached an unprecedented intensity.

It happened that at this time, Lin Chaoyang published "The Inevitable Rise and Decline of Scar Literature" in "October", which was destined to add fuel to the fire of this unprecedentedly fierce debate.

Lin Chaoyang himself did not have this awareness, and even Liu Xinwu, who was generally regarded as an effective member of the Xichun School in the literary world, did not have this awareness. Their ideas were only based on facts, but they ignored the changes in the external environment and climate.

As a result, "The Inevitable Rise and Decline of Scar Literature" caused more and more discussions in the period after its publication, and it quickly became a "positional war" between two factions competing for the dominance of public opinion.

Lin Chaoyang, the originator, became famous for his scar literature, and was originally regarded as one of the Xichun Sect's own, but at this time, he acted in the back and was regarded as a traitor by many people who supported the Xichun Sect.

From a left-leaning perspective, Lin Chaoyang counterattacked the Xichun faction. They themselves were happy, but it was impossible to accept Lin Chaoyang into their own camp.

Who can guarantee that there will be no next time for this kid?

If you have such a person around you, you have to be careful!

Lin Chaoyang was a layman who didn't understand or care about the twists and turns of the literary world, and there was no one around him to remind him. However, the editors of "October" did understand.

But they didn't know what Lin Chaoyang's mentality was, and they thought that Lin Chaoyang just wanted to get involved in this big controversy and show his face, so no one said anything too in-depth.

Zhang Guangnian, the editor-in-chief of "People's Literature", is also one of the leaders of the Xichun faction. Recently, Lin Chaoyang has been at the center of a big debate between the two factions. Lin Chaoyang's novel was about to be published in "People's Literature", so he gave the order. Cui Daoyi came over to ask Lin Chaoyang to see what he thought.

Cui Daoyi sorted Lin Chaoyang out for a long time, and he finally understood. No wonder he was caught and scolded recently.

I bet he was scolded not only because, as many people said, he was "eating on the scar literature and throwing the pot on the scar literature," but also because of the "unlucky spring" in the literary and art circles in 1979 and the Xichun and Pianzuo A big debate between the two factions.

He explained to Cui Daoyi, dumbfounded, the reasons for publishing "The Inevitable Rise and Decline of Scar Literature".

I heard that this was actually a speech to students. Liu Xinwu overheard it and published it in "October". Cui Daoyi was also dumbfounded.

"What is all this fuss about!" Cui Daoyi sighed helplessly.

After understanding the real reason behind the incident, Lin Chaoyang didn't take it too seriously. He didn't belong to the literary world and wrote novels just to earn some royalties.

It's not like ten years ago now. It's not a big deal if we still get guilty for making introductions.

However, he was curious about one question and asked: "You said that Ding Ling is also a partialist, so why did she write a review to support "Wrangler"?"

"Why can't she support Wrangler?"

People think that the ideological battle between the big bosses is a tit-for-tat confrontation between the two parties. It is black or white, and it is either you die or I live.

The actual battle of ideas is that everyone has their own ideas and concepts, which are not the same. More often, some external public opinion simplifies and divides them into two groups in order to better understand and spread this debate. people.

It is very possible that the two people who are at odds with each other in the mouth of the communicator are still very good friends in private.

After Cui Daoyi explained, he asked Lin Chaoyang what he thought about being criticized by public opinion. Seeing that he had no worries, he shook his head and laughed, "You are really big-hearted!"

Cui Daoyi's arrival today helped to clear up Lin Chaoyang's confusion, at least letting him know why he was scolded.

In the evening, Lin Chaoyang talked about this matter with Tao Yushu excitedly.

Although Lin Chaoyang didn't want to admit it, being able to stir up the storm might also prove his influence to some extent.

"Hey, what do you think about me submitting this article to "Literary Review"?"

Recently, because Lin Chaoyang has been suppressed by public opinion, Tao Yushu is bursting with inspiration. He writes hard every day, and his article output has hit new highs. He will submit a manuscript almost every two days, but it has not been published yet.

"Okay, Literary Review is an important publication in the field of literary criticism. I support you!"

Tao Yushu looked at Lin Chaoyang's performance and wondered if his man was a little too heartless.
