Chapter 17: The Times Need to Debate

"I went to find people to do the illustrations, and when I designed the cover, I asked them to put the article in the most eye-catching place. Yin Xiaoxing said the wrong thing just now, now hurry up and seize the opportunity to make up for it.

"Let's get busy, I heard you guys making a fuss outside in the morning, all talking about this article, right? Do you have to hurry up and review other submissions, so as not to disappoint the authors. Zhao Tianchang knocked Yin Xiaoxing lightly, this attitude of loving work is worthy of recognition, but the way of doing things is a little too frizzy.

"Yes, I won't eat at noon, I promise to make up for this time!" After speaking, Yin Xiaoxing didn't wait for Zhao Tianchang to reply, and ran out.

"Then I'll go and reply to Chen Yu'an right now and tell him that the manuscript is over. "I got the opportunity to publish articles in two consecutive issues, and this time it was a popular article, and in Fu Xing's heart, his evaluation of Chen Yu'an was raised by one level.

"Well, you go first. Zhao Tianchang picked up this article again and read it, as the editor-in-chief, he will carefully review every article to be published, just now it was only determined that this article is eligible for publication, and the details have not been carefully studied, he wants to see if there is anything that can be modified in the specific wording.

After all, this is an article that will cause a huge sensation, and every detail must be done to the best of its ability.

Before I could see much, there was another knock on the door outside, Zhao Tianchang shouted in, and then put down the article and sat down, but this time it was Jin Heshi, who was the oldest in the editorial department, who pushed the door in.

"Yo, Jin Lao is here, sit down, someone just gave me a cake of old brick tea, I got it from Qinghai, didn't you serve as a soldier there back then? "For the old-timers, Zhao Tianchang has always been very respectful.

"Yo, this is a good thing! I'll come, I'm here, you're used to drinking green tea, I'm afraid you won't be able to tinker with this thing." "If it was ordinary tea, Jin Heshi would definitely not be interested, but since he returned to the magic capital after retiring from the army, he hadn't drunk authentic brick tea for a long time, so he couldn't hold back for a while and took the tea brick directly.

"I still have some milk there, just enough to make tea. Jin Heshi went in and out to bring an electric stove and a steel pot, and contributed all his milk, and then went to find some salt, cut and mashed the brick tea, boiled it with water for a few minutes, removed the tea residue, put it into a large pot, mixed it with milk, added water to boil, and then put it into a boiling kettle, and then added an appropriate amount of salt to make salty, sweet and delicious milk tea.

took it out and gave some to the people in the editorial department, and then talked to Zhao Tianchang about business with one person, "Editor-in-chief, I heard that you have passed that article?"

"Yes, such a good article doesn't make sense, but ah, what, Jin Lao, do you have an opinion?" Seeing a slight melancholy on Jin Heshi's face, it was not difficult to guess his intention.

"The article is a good article, and Sun Yunxiao didn't make it up nonsense at the beginning, but he just won the award last year, and now his status is different, if he publishes it rashly, will it have any adverse impact on the club and Xiao Chen?" Jin Heshi didn't have any opinions on the article, but was simply worried that it would affect the magazine and Chen Yu'an.

"Sun Yunxiao is indeed not as good as he was back then, but he can't control us, as for Xiao Chen, people use pen names, as long as our club doesn't leak it, Sun Yunxiao can't find anyone to go!" Now that I think about it, Chen Yu'an really saved himself a lot of trouble by using a pen name, and I don't know if he had thought of this a long time ago.

"I don't know if Jin Laoji remembers Pan Xiao?" Seeing that Jin Heshi seemed to want to say something, Zhao Tianchang added.

"I know, how can I not know! Is it the one who wrote "The Road of Life, How to Go Narrower and Narrower"!" Jin Heshi said with a shy smile, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, I also wrote to "Chinese Youth" to discuss this topic at that time. ”

"The Road of Life, How to Go Narrower and Narrower" is an article published in 1980 in the magazine "China Youth" with a circulation of more than 2 million copies, the author's signature is Pan Xiao, which is actually a combination of the names of two young people at that time, Huang Xiaoju and Pan Yi.

This long letter, full of young people's confusion, quickly caused a heated discussion across the country that lasted for more than half a year, and the topic of "Pan Xiao Discussion - Why People Should Live" was triggered across the country, with more than 60,000 people writing to participate in the discussion, and this event was later called "the spiritual first love of a whole generation of Chinese youth."

"Yes, I was involved in this before, so I felt that every generation needed this kind of discussion, and in the '80s, when the era of chaos was just over, and the young people were returning to the cities, they were full of confusion, so they would wonder how the road of life could get narrower and narrower. ”

"Now, 20 years later, the post-80s generation is in a much better environment than we were at that time, but they are facing harsh criticism that we have never faced, what a 'little emperor', a 'beat generation'...... Judging from the manuscripts I have received over the past few years and the young people I have met, this is not the case. ”

From the planned economy to the market economy, the material life and spiritual life of the post-80s generation are more affluent than the previous generation, and they have accepted the new things and new ideas brought about by the development and reform, and have received better quality education, with a distinct brand of the times that the reform and opening up brings about by the individuality. ”

And this imprint of the times has led to a big difference between their behavior and behavior from the post-60s, post-70s, and post-40s and post-50s, and this difference has led to a different look at the elders. ”

"Now the right to speak is in the hands of the post-40s, post-50s, post-60s, post-70s, in the past, the post-80s can only passively accept these evaluations that do not conform to the actual situation, and now someone finally stands up on behalf of the post-80s to make their own voice, I think, this kind of behavior is worth encouraging. After saying so much, Zhao Tianchang got up and took the article in his hand, "That's why I decided to officially publish this article, hoping to trigger a discussion like Pan Xiao did back then." ”

"As for Chen Yu'an, don't worry, I will protect him. Zhao Tianchang solemnly assured.

"Then I'll rest assured!" Pan Xiao's topic evoked Jin Heshi's long-term memories, and Zhao Tianchang's assurance also dispelled his concerns, "Then I won't bother you, I will also contact my old comrades-in-arms, and I can help if there is anything at that time." ”

"Then thank you Jin Lao. Zhao Tianchang knew that Jin Heshi's old comrades-in-arms were quite weighty, and he had never troubled them because of his own affairs before, but this time he was really moved because Chen Yu'an wanted to take the initiative to contact them.

"Oh, Jin Lao, help me call Fu Xing!"
