As we said earlier, in the 90s, in Chinese universities, Peking University ranked first, and Fudan University ranked second.

The ranking is not based on academic and educational standards, but specifically on social impact. Liberal arts students at Peking University and Fudan University are extremely active, and often do some sensational things - the "Lion City Debate Competition" in 1993, which was broadcast on national television, pushed the name of Fudan to a new level.

It's just an international college debate tournament, and after 20 years, it is estimated that there is no LPL league that has attracted attention.

However, when countless viewers saw Fudan students fighting on TV, defeating teams from international famous schools, and spraying their opponents with blood in the finals, the significance of the competition directly rose to the national level. The national media went awry, and even Women's Life magazine praised the debaters for how hard they read and how hard they studied.

Those Fudan students who wore suits and talked eloquently showed refreshing wisdom, sharpness, freshness and vigor, becoming the epitome of China's college students in the new era, and were evaluated by the media as "representing China's future".

After the debate tournament was broadcast on television, not only did the application rate of Fudan increase, but two popular phrases were also derived among the young intellectuals: Please don't change your concept! Please answer my question head-on!

Since then, a variety of debate tournaments have begun to appear in Chinese schools, and television stations have also been keen to hold debate tournaments. Super debaters can become national stars, and their influence is even enough to rival some movie and television stars, which is unimaginable for children in the new century.

Although in the 90s, poetry has declined, and Fudan has no banner poets. But Han Bo, who has just stepped down as the president of the poetry club, still belongs to the school and is also well-known in the country, which is the radiation effect brought by famous schools. As long as you can make something at Fudan, it will inevitably attract attention from inside and outside the university, and it can also be converted into practical use after graduation.

Han Bo, the former president of the Fudan Poetry Society, is a handsome man, with long hair, not only writing poetry, but also engaging in experimental dramas, with a cold and humorous style, which is probably equivalent to "Fudan Han Han" at this time.

And with the serialization of the two issues of "Resident Evil", Song Weiyang and Nie Jun quickly entered the public eye, and like Han Bo, they also became the most popular figures in the whole school, and Sheng Hai's science fiction magazine reprinted it directly without even saying hello.

That's how famous?

Again: it's amazing!

If we analyze it carefully, we can understand the reason for this "magic".

Yang Xin was able to let Xifeng canned food enter the European market through a Chinese and foreign entrepreneur exchange meeting, because the business communication channels between China and foreign countries were too scarce at this time.

The "Lion City Debate Tournament" has made Fudan famous, made debaters become national stars, and made "stealing concepts" and "positive answers" become buzzwords, because it is difficult for Chinese college students at this time to have the opportunity to show their style internationally.

As for "Resident Evil" suddenly becoming popular in Fudan and gradually spreading its influence outside the school, it is actually very simple.

Throughout the early and mid-90s, the Chinese science fiction scene was flooded with three main types of works:

The first category: hardcore traditional sci-fi.

The second category: political metaphor and political reflection, some of which throw away the cloak of science fiction can actually be directly classified as scar literature.

The third category: historical mythology. At this time, Chinese science fiction writers liked to integrate historical and mythological elements into science fiction works, which made people always feel weird when they read it.

No matter which of the above three categories, the author is keen to reason and guide readers to think about science, politics, history, culture, and human nature. And their common shortcoming is that the plot is dry, the protagonist has almost no other emotions except for great love, and even if he writes love, it is very empty.

As a result, Chinese sci-fi has always been niche, too hardcore, and seriously lacking in entertainment.

And "Resident Evil" just fills this gap, unique, both sci-fi and entertainment, so that readers who don't like sci-fi can watch it very well.

Guo Tao, president of Fudan Science Fiction Society, complied with public opinion, and although it was still a monthly magazine, the serial content of the third issue of "Resident Evil" was directly doubled. At the same time, he also consulted Song Weiyang and Nie Jun to send "Resident Evil" to the "Science Fiction World" magazine.

"Science Fiction World" had already decided to publish the content, and after receiving the manuscript, it immediately vacated the publication space to put "Resident Evil" in it.

Once serialized, it directly caused a sensation in the Chinese science fiction community.

Although many authors think that "Resident Evil" has no connotation, they can't help readers like it!

"Science Fiction World" magazine received hundreds of letters from readers in half a month, all discussing "Resident Evil", which made the editor-in-chief Yang Xiao ecstatic.

In fact, science fiction literature belongs to the queen in China, and Fudan students can make a sensation in the country if they win the championship in the international debate competition, and they are also endowed with lofty patriotic significance. However, "Science Fiction World" hosted the "World Science Fiction Association Annual Conference" three years ago, and was rated as the most grand and successful annual meeting since its establishment by SF.

Isn't it because the sci-fi audience is too narrow? It just so happens that "Resident Evil" can attract ordinary readers into the pit!

"Song Weiyang, Nie Jun, with your letter, you have been shortlisted for the Galaxy Award!"

Guo Tao, the president of the Science Fiction Society, rushed in, he was a junior and did not live in this dormitory building, and this time he came to report the good news.

Behind Guo Tao, there were more than a dozen members of the science fiction club, all of whom were extremely excited.

"What is the Galaxy Award?" Nie Jun did not react.

Guo Tao said: "The highest award for science fiction literature in China is exclusively sponsored by Science Fiction World magazine. ”

Another member of the science fiction club said with a smile: "You are the only students in Fudan who have been shortlisted for the Galaxy Award since its establishment, which is too much for our school!"

Guo Tao said: "The time to receive the award is at the beginning of next month. ”

"Not available. Nie Jun said.

"Not interested. Song Weiyang continued to lie in bed and read "The Reality of Social Construction".

A group of science fiction enthusiasts who rushed to report the good news were directly stupid, it was the Galaxy Award, they couldn't get it if they wanted it, and these two people were actually not interested in it.

Geniuses are really different from mortals!

"You must go to receive the award, you have to give the organizer a face," Guo Tao could only persuade patiently, "Song Weiyang, isn't your hometown in Xikang Province? Brother, you are my brother, when I beg you!"

Song Weiyang said: "That's it, President Guo, you go to accept the award on our behalf, and then put the award certificate in the Science Fiction Association, and you can use this game to attract new students next year." ”

"Can you really put the award certificate in the association?" Guo Tao said happily, "Then I'll go to receive the award!"

"Well, whatever you want. Song Weiyang said.

Guo Tao said happily: "I will immediately apply for the right to use Xianghui Hall, and hold a 'Resident Evil Award Celebration and Science Fiction Literature Exchange Conference', so that all teachers and students in the school know about science fiction and love science fiction! I want the whole school to know that our science fiction association has won the highest honor in China's science fiction industry! When the time comes, the two students will come to participate." ”

"Didi, Didi!"

Song Weiyang's big man suddenly rang non-stop, he glanced at it, and immediately jumped out of bed: "I'll talk about it then, I'm going to call back." ”

The message on the pager screen is: CCTV auction bidder, do you participate?
