Chapter 467: Frightened and Ghostly, Heavenly Dragon Babu (Medium)
After meeting Liu Jingting in Vientiane, Chen Shirang seemed to be more determined in some aspects, and after returning home, he immediately wrote a letter to the education department, once again mentioning that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Journey to the West" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" were officially included in the compulsory reading list of CUHK students during the holidays.
About this "must-read list", everyone also has a tacit understanding, there are no hard requirements on it, just the official release of guiding information, and students do not strictly implement it, at most it is to understand the title of the book, unless sometimes you want to buy gifts for classmates, or parents buy extracurricular books for their children, the book list will play a reference role.
And the reason why Chen Shirang is so obsessed with promoting Gu Yongsheng's works to be included in that book list is also very simple - to completely make "Gu Yongsheng's martial arts" official.
No matter how many Nobels Liu Jingting won and how many Oscars he won, the concept that martial arts novels are "idle books" is still deeply rooted in the minds of parents and most teachers, and belongs to the scope of "banned books".
Professor Chen Shirang wants to change this phenomenon, and according to his understanding and judgment, the most effective way to change this kind of thinking is to "release official news through guò", which has an immediate effect on parents and teachers.
Of course, Chen Shirang's approach was also questioned by colleagues and even students, who did not understand why he was doing such a thankless task.
"Wouldn't it be better to let it develop step by step? The so-called real gold is not afraid of red furnace fire, if Gu Yongsheng's martial arts novels can stand the test of time, in the end, you don't need to say it. Naturally, it will be included in the list of must-read books for students by the relevant departments, and it is not time to do this now. ”
This is a building from a colleague. Tong Guò, a professor of similar status and close relationship with Professor Chen, conveyed that it is likely to represent the meaning of the school's top management.
However, Professor Chen did not accept this suggestion and replied: "Now our academic community and even the entire university education community are showing a gloomy atmosphere, and a very important reason for this situation is that everyone has learned to wait and see, and has learned to retreat and silence is golden, which is not a healthy development trend in any field." Education and scholarship, in particular, require contention and express opinions. That's the only way. There will be the possibility of progress.
However, the reason why I want to vigorously promote Gu Yongsheng's martial arts this time is not only to make the first bird, but I sincerely think. The so-called 'idle books' of Gu Yongsheng or Liu Jingting have a very positive impact on young people. There is a certain process that can help them improve their three views, and for specific analysis, you can read my article in the "Literary Journal". ”
Chen Shirang used the words "cultivating the mind", "distinguishing between good and evil", and "refining courage" to evaluate the three books "Journey to the West", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in the "Literature and Magazine", which can be described as well-intentioned.
……
Professor Chen's letter to the relevant authorities quickly spread on the Internet, which is also normal, because in a way, Liu Jingting is now more celebrity than some A-list stars, and news about him can easily spread on the Internet.
Soon after the letter came out, opposition emerged. It's nothing more than some cliché remarks.
"The Monkey King in "Journey to the West" has a naughty and perverse personality and does not obey control. It's easy to have a negative impact on children.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can be read as a story, but once it is officially promoted, it will have a wrong tendency to confuse history, and the power struggle throughout the book is not suitable for young people, especially middle school students.
As for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", it is just the love and love and fighting and killing under the cover of the family and the country, and the impact on the children is even worse. ”
Then, articles refuting this view appeared.
Then, articles refuting this view appeared.
Then......
A quarrel begins in one area of the cyber world, and the war spreads.
On November 30, a video of a lecture given by Professor Chen Shirang at the university was posted online, in which Professor Chen recounted his meeting with Liu Jingting in Vientiane, and mentioned the discussion between him, Liu Jingting, and Director Kang Yuchang.
“…… The most fundamental reason why I wanted to meet Liu Jingting was that I wanted to confirm his own attitude towards martial arts novels, although I had already drawn the answer from his other works, but I still had to confirm it myself, and as expected, his answers to several questions he asked me were more ideal than I expected.
In other words, many of the plots in the novel that contain deep meanings are deliberately arranged by him, and after reaching this conclusion, I am even more sure of my approach, because I believe that driven by this kind of thinking, he will write better works, and it is not impossible to even surpass "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". This is what we should expect. ”
Liu Jingting didn't expect that Professor Chen Shirang would meet him with these thoughts that day, and he didn't expect that some of his views would be paid special attention to by Professor Chen.
It's looking forward to a better appearance, not ruining a new thing that he can't accept.
Sure enough, after the video was uploaded, Zhou Zaidao and his supporters sharply pointed out three suspicious aspects of Professor Chen's speech: First, why did he meet Liu Jingting in Vientiane?
Second, why did Chen Shirang strengthen his determination to push Liu Jingting after the meeting? Is it really because Professor Chen was moved by Liu Jingting's noble sentiments, or was he moved by something else?
Third, Liu Jingting has always been cold-hearted and has repeatedly sneered at traditional academic circles and authoritative experts, so why did he look at Professor Chen Shirang differently? What kind of situation is he planning and what purpose is he trying to achieve?
After these three questions came out, it was followed by the inference that because Chen Shirang took the benefits of Liu Jingting, he vigorously advocated Gu Yongsheng's martial arts, Liu Jingting also won the Nobel Prize in Literature, won the Oscar, and also won the June 1st Project Award, and now what he wants to do most should be to whitewash martial arts novels, so he found Professor Chen Shirang.
Zhou Jae-dao, who has 250,000 followers on his microblog, retweeted the speculations. He also commented: "A world-renowned multi-faceted best-selling author, a respected old professor, wouldn't do such a thing, would it? ”
This comment is unassailable. It not only disseminated opinions, but also stayed out of the matter, and evaluated it in questioning sentences, leaving enough way for the future confrontation in court. "I'm just curious and questioning, and you can see that I don't believe it at all. "Lao Lacheng dù has the style of Zheng Qiushi.
In the context of the current professor's frequent problems, this style of painting is easily accepted by netizens: rich writers seek official status for their works and collude with famous professors. Trade for money.
The Internet provides a hotbed for out-of-context quotes, and the environment of information explosion makes many netizens watch the news. Just glance at the title.
So, when those netizens who don't know the ins and outs see this title, how shocking should it be?
After the three of them became tigers, "Liu Jingting whitewashed martial arts." bribing big-name professors" is almost convicted.
December 2nd. Liu Jingting updated his personal microblog, and his rhetoric was unusually intense:
"Professor Chen's attitude towards learning, as well as the reward and training of juniors, is something that scum like Zhou Zaidao can't catch up with in three lifetimes, they just stand next to a flower and keep yelling like a leper dog, 'This flower will wither, this flower will wither', but they never know. That flower, no matter what, has nothing to do with him. ”
The high tide of this quarrel has finally arrived!
Zhou Zaidao waited until Yoo Kyung-ting's response. Immediately forwarded and replied: "Oh? Mr. Liu's flower metaphor means that you also admit that martial arts are withering and withering?"
Liu Jingting also quickly responded: "Admit that you are an egg, do you know what martial arts are called by a clown like you? If you are a moth, you can play the role of a moth well, pretending to be a critic without knowing how to pretend to understand, isn't it stupid?"
Zhou Zai said: "Mr. Liu's dirty words make me feel surprised and regretful, as a Nobel Prize winner in literature, why don't you even have this kind of education?"
Liu Jingting: "Oh, isn't education for educated people, when will education be aimed at stinky fools?"
Liu Jingting actually didn't want to scold Zhou Zaidao, even if he was angry in his heart, he had to do it, because if that topic continued to develop, Chen Shi would make the professor suffer more and more trouble.
Liu Jingting can not care about anything, but Professor Chen is different, as an old-school intellectual, he attaches great importance to reputation and innocence, and he is coldly labeled as "taking bribes", how much pressure will he have to bear in his heart? Maybe the school will make some concessions as a last resort in order to calm things down.
This is definitely what Liu Jingting doesn't want to see, why should a good person be wronged?
Therefore, he released this trick and led all the hatred to himself, swear words are just a deliberate flaw and a way to divert attention, there is no doubt that once Zhou Zaidao grasps this flaw, Ken will make a big fuss about Liu Jingting's character and upbringing.
In this way, Professor Chen will be able to purify.
Of course,And Liu Jingting is not afraid of heaven and earth, and Vientiane School Park。
The day after the news of smearing Chen Shirang came out,Vientiane School Park hung out an open letter from the principal,In the letter,Director Kang once again described in detail the scene of the three people meeting that day,And then praised Chen Shirang's character and academic attitude,Finally, he sternly warned the rumor-mongers:If you don't stop this slander and slander,I'll do my best,Find you out,Handle it according to law!
Principal Kang Yuchang had never spoken so bluntly, but once he spoke like this, anyone might have to think carefully about the consequences.
Under this pressure, Zhou Zaidao deleted the micro-blog and concentrated on talking about upbringing and the flower with Liu Jingting, who was full of swearing.
Liu Jingting maintained interaction with Zhou Zaidao while writing, and both sides seemed to be ready for a protracted battle.
Before the Chinese New Year, even Gu Yongsheng's hardcore readers began to persuade him that "it's better to conceive a new book", at this time, few people knew that Liu Jingting had already stopped taking vacations, and everyone thought that he was suffering from vacation syndrome, and he was so bored that he fought this debate with Zhou Zaidao.
Don't you know that on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Jingting deliberately took the printed draft of the whole book of "Tianlong Babu" to Professor Chen Shirang's house to give gifts. (To be continued......)
