Chapter 100: Do You Think I'm Trustworthy?

"What, how did my uncle know that I wrote "The Condor Heroes"?"

Seeing the content of the text message, Xu Yan was shocked at first.

Then, his eyes lit up, and he said secretly, his uncle is a well-known literary critic in the literary circle, and he has a very wide range of contacts, and he has some friendships with almost all famous writers.

So......

If you're looking for an agent, he's definitely an excellent candidate.

Moreover, my brother-in-law has always loved him very much, and he has never forced himself to develop into the entertainment industry and become a big star like other people in the family.

In this way, as long as you ask your uncle to keep it a secret, then ...... He's definitely a great proxy candidate!

Besides......

Although I don't know how he found out about himself, but since he said it so bluntly in the text message, he has nothing to hide from him.

"Okay, then I'll go meet my uncle......! Oh no! it's a surrogate...... Haha......"

Hurried to the school gate, and sure enough, Xu Yan saw his brother-in-law Fang Wenqiang waving to him in the coffee house next to him.

"A cappuccino, thank you!"

Xu Yan sat down and found that his uncle hadn't seen him for a while, so why had he lost weight again!

He didn't speak first, just looked at his uncle with a smile, waiting for him to explain his true intentions.

"That's right, Xiao Yan, if my teacher hadn't guessed it. I would never have imagined that a masterpiece like "The Condor Heroes" would be written by you. ”

Gently putting down the cup, Fang Wenqiang said with appreciation.

"Your teacher, uncle, is it ...... you are talking about?"

Hearing this, Xu Yan was a little uneasy.

He doesn't have a good impression of most of the stars in the entertainment industry, and the others can't talk about idols and favorites.

On the contrary, under the influence of the two literary circles from being thin from childhood to the second brother-in-law and brother-in-law, there are a few favorite writers and literary masters.

It just so happens that Mr. Qian Xianlin, the doctoral supervisor of my uncle, the oldest and most prestigious literary master in the entire Chinese literary circle, can be said to be one of the few existences that Xu Yan can be called an idol.

Not only because Qian Lao is proficient in the languages of more than a dozen countries, but also because Qian Lao has been supporting the preservation of "Chinese characters" since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, most of our country's intellectuals returned from overseas in their early years.

They hate Confucianism, ancient culture, classical Chinese, and even Chinese characters very much, believing that it is because of the difficulty of learning and understanding Chinese characters that the illiteracy rate in China is high, and it is difficult for science and culture to develop.

Therefore......

Soon after the founding of the People's Republic of China, these intellectuals united and launched a movement to simplify Chinese characters.

The traditional characters that were difficult to write were reformed into today's simplified characters.

Indeed, this is a very good character, and within a controllable and reasonable range, simplifying the cumbersome Chinese characters to a certain extent is very helpful for enlightenment education and eradicating illiteracy.

However......

It's too much!

Later, after tasting the sweetness, some radicals still felt that such simplified characters were still too complicated.

So, it's simplified even further.

Outcome......

This simplification has led to a lot of jokes, because some words have become too simple, resulting in a lot of ambiguity, as well as the loss of some semantics, which has seriously affected the daily life of the people.

Therefore, this movement to resimplify Chinese characters has been declared a failure.

But they were not reconciled, but went to a more extreme side, and even proposed to completely abolish Chinese characters.

After the baptism of Western thought and culture, they have a kind of thinking and self-inferiority complex at the root of "the moon is rounder in foreign countries".

They believe that the mainstream characters in the world are pinyin, and only the Chinese characters in China are pictographs, which are very complex and difficult to learn, and are far from conducive to the development of possible scientific computers in the future.

Some people even put forward a prediction that "if Chinese characters are not abolished, it will become the biggest obstacle to the development of computer science in China in the future."

So......

In this background and environment, most intellectuals even advocated the abolition of Chinese characters, and Chinese was replaced by pinyin.

At this time......

When thousands of years of Chinese culture was at its most critical, it was Qian Lao and several other leaders in various industries who stood up and supported Chinese characters, and after a lot of debate, they were finally preserved.

This is why our country, like the Goryeo Kingdom, abolished Chinese characters and replaced them with pinyin-type characters.

Facts have also proved how correct Qian Lao's insistence was at the beginning.

Looking at the Goryeo Kingdom after the abolition of Chinese characters and the westernization of Chinese characters, many of them could not write their names in their own language, and the names on their ID cards still had to be written in "Chinese characters".

Otherwise, they won't be able to pronounce their names correctly because there are a lot of homophones.

The same is true of the Wa Kingdom, which has created some of their own scripts, but they cannot completely eradicate the imprint of Chinese characters, and they still have to use Chinese characters in many fields and aspects.

Xu Yan admires and admires Qian Lao, not only because of his high academic attainments, but also because he is straightforward, very real and unpretentious.

Including the well-known diaries of his early years, he was able to publish them without modification.

Xu Yan, who saw these when he was in junior high school, was really eye-opening!

It was the first time he knew that those celebrities who could be written in history books were actually no different from ordinary people.

There is no need to mythologize those who have achieved something, they will indeed make great contributions to humanity and society in some way.

But after all, they are also normal people who eat fireworks in the world, and many ordinary people have desires and thoughts, they may also have.

Recognizing this is particularly important for Xu Yan.

Especially when he was born in such a family, it allowed him to contact and understand the world more objectively.

"Yes! It's Qian Lao, judging from the style of "The Condor Heroes", it must have been written by a junior of Uncle Liang Qi. So let me check, and after excluding the others, it's just you......"

Fang Wenqiang didn't hide it, and directly told Xu Yan how Qian Lao judged.

In the end, he also took out the "preface" of "The Condor Heroes" written by Qian Lao.

Xu Yan was even more excited, the literary master he admired, Qian Lao, actually wrote a preface to the book he wrote?

What an honor!

It's completely unimaginable for Xu Yan to think!

"Thank you, uncle, you must tell Mr. Qian for me, I am really honored to be able to let his old man write a preface for me. It's just that...... I don't plan to publish this book "The Condor Heroes", ...... Xu Yan said.

"What? How can you not publish such a good book? Are you stupid? Pure electronic subscription sales are already more than a billion. It is conceivable how influential this book is, and after it is published, more people will definitely rush to buy the collection.

If nothing else, with this book alone, you will be able to devote at least half a page to the literary history of our country. ”

As soon as he heard that Xu Yan did not plan to publish "The Condor Heroes", Fang Wenqiang was anxious for him.

Seeing this, Xu Yan said with a very scheming look: "I haven't signed a contract with the end Chinese network yet! It is impossible to sign a contract directly with the publishing house, I don't want to reveal my identity."

Alas...... But if I had to have an agent help me get that...... Alas, forget it! A reliable and trustworthy agent is so easy to find......"

As soon as Xu Yan said this, his anxious uncle Fang Wenqiang immediately answered: "Don't! Xiao Yan, look at me...... Do you think I'm trustworthy?"
