Chapter 132: A Hurricane in the Literary World (Part II)
"The True Story of Ah Q" is the only novella of Mr. Lu Xun, with a total of nine chapters, written in the form of chapter hui, which is also a kind of inheritance and innovation of the old style novel.
As we all know, Mr. Lu Xun has never written a long story in his life, "The Scream" is a collection of short and medium stories, "Morning Flowers and Sunset" prose collection, "Wild Grass" prose and poetry collection, "Grave" is a collection of essays, etc.
Lu Xun did not write a novel, which is not only a big regret in the literary world, but also a weakness criticized by later critics.
Of course, this assertion is for the sensationalism of eyeballs, and there is no need to talk about anything else, just a "The True Story of Ah Q" is enough to stand proudly in the forest of excellent novels in the world, as for the character of Ah Q, it is a classic character image that is rare in the Chinese literary world for hundreds of years, and its influence is far-reaching, and it has transcended the times and classes, and has become a truly popular and familiar artistic image for the general public.
is still the same sentence, the easiest way to judge a work is to see if it has created classic characters, to see if the characters in the book have entered people's lives, many people have not read "The True Story of Ah Q", and even do not know Mr. Lu Xun, but when it comes to the spirit of Ah Q, when it comes to the spiritual victory method, most of them understand the meaning.
Words like "I can only comfort myself with this Ah Q spirit" are often heard in life.
This is influence, this is a classic!
In addition, the main reason why Lu Xun did not write a long story in his life is that time and environment do not allow it, after all, it was an era when pen fighting became a trend, and Mr. 's writing was pungent and deep, and he made countless enemies.
So. Mr. Lu Xun's text was vividly compared to a dagger, piercing the heart of the enemy, even when this seemingly humorous "The True Story of Ah Q" came out, it also made the opponents fidget, crazy and out of control, and even scolded in a big loss of grace.
β¦β¦
At half past six the next morning, "The True Story of Ah Q" was quietly hung on the homepage of Wan Xianwen's official website, indicating Liu Jingting's latest entry article, without any other explanation, just a posture of "pretending to be low-key will scare you to death".
Then. The first rays of sunlight on a summer morning quietly sprinkled the entire campus, and Liu Jingting slept in a four-bedroom student apartment in Vientiane, not knowing what kind of sweet dreams he was having, and the mobile phone on the delicate wooden table next to the bed suddenly rang without warning.
It's not an alarm clock, it's a call reminder.
After seven or eight rings. Liu Jingting finally squinted his eyes and reached out to take the phone, and connected it without looking. In a daze, he said, "Who?
"Gu Shuai. I'm Gong Chengen, have you gotten up?"
"Gong Chengen?Oh, you haven't gotten up yet, what's wrong?"
"Come out for a drink, I'm just free. β
"I'm not available, and it's morning. It's morning, isn't it?"
"I'm free this morning, I have something to talk to you about, and I'm still so slow to invite you to dinner, hurry up. β
"It won't be Beicheng again, will it?"
"You're thinking too much. I don't have the money to invite you to eat in Beicheng now, in a food stall shop, I'll send you the address, you can call over. β
Liu Jingting pressed the phone, lay down for a while before sitting up reluctantly, and after habitually punching a hundred punches, he got up, dressed, and washed.
When Liu Jingting arrived at the street restaurant, the sun had already risen, hanging in the air proudly, Gong Chengen, who was like a chicken blood, held a can of beer in his hand, drinking and looking at the passing vehicles.
"How do you look like a ruffian waiting for a girlfriend. β
Liu Jingting, who had been blowing the wind all the way, was a lot more sober, and when he saw Gong Chengen, he made a joke.
"Gu Shuai, you're right, I'm not just waiting for Qianqian here now, come in, the dishes have already been ordered." β
"How did the boss promise you to open the door early in the morning for business?"
"I found more than a dozen, and this one is open 24 hours a day, so let's have a can first. β
Liu Jingting took the beer and said with a smile: "Who would have thought that the second young man of the palace family would have to look for restaurants to eat everywhere early in the morning, needless to say, tell me, what are you looking for me?"
"Don't rush, let's go first. β
Liu Jingting didn't ask, opened the beer can with a "snap", touched Gong Chengen, and raised his head to drink.
"How's the game?"
"It's over, let's get results in these two days. β
"Small things, if you can't get into Vientiane, join our drama team, with your talent, I'm afraid you won't be able to get ahead. β
Liu Jingting smiled without saying a word, opened another can, and motioned for Gong Chengen to continue.
"I stayed up all night last night and didn't sleep all night. Gong Chengen said proudly.
"Overtime?"
"Well, I'm doing an idol drama now, I talked to my colleagues about the ending last night, and I got more than a dozen endings, and the results didn't come out until five o'clock, I thought I would fall asleep after finishing work, but I didn't expect to be completely unable to sleep, and my spirit is still excited, so I called you out to drink. β
"Understood. β
"And then," Gong Chengen hesitated and shook the beer foam off her hand, "Qianqian replied to my message. β
"What did she say?"
Gong Chengen smiled bitterly at first, then turned to relief, and said, "She replied with two words, not bad." β
Liu Jingting laughed and said, "That's good." β
The two talked while drinking, from personal feelings to Gu Yongsheng's novels, from novels to film and television dramas, then to social hot news, international situations, and finally back to Gu Yongsheng's novels.
"I don't know what you think, but if I were you, I wouldn't write for someone else for the rest of my life, I would run my own magazine, what do you think?"
Liu Jingting nodded and said, "I've thought about it." β
"Look, the hero sees the same thing, come, drink this cup of wine. After Gong Chengen finished speaking, he drank it all first, and then said with the strength of the wine: "Confess one thing to you, I intended to approach you at the beginning, but I was actually guided by Qianqian, at that time you were writing "Seven Swords Under the Tianshan" or "Yue Nu Sword", she told me that she wanted to make a name for herself in the TV industry in the future and firmly grasp you, and now it seems that she is really right." β
"So she actually arranged the conflict at the bar in the first place?"
"I don't know about this, and it doesn't matter anymore, after I got in touch with you, I found that we smell like each other, so I really want to make you a friend. Growing up, I was in contact with a lot of people, but there were very few who could really become friends, in school, either I knew my identity and stared at my family, or I didn't know my identity as a friend with me, but I left silently after knowing it, I couldn't count how many I had, and then I was a little disheartened, until I met Wang Qianqian. β
"She doesn't take you seriously. Even if I know who you are?"
"Yes, the only one who can do this is you. β
"No wonder you do idol dramas. β
"That's right, the idol drama I made this time is based on her and me, and of course you and Mi Amber are also in it. However, they have all been retouched and created in the post-production, and some have been added. Well. Elements of kinky. β
Liu Jingting smiled.
"I just asked you something, by the way, when are you going to get your magazine?"
"It's still uncertain, but I guess when I go to university, I'm still learning and accumulating. β
"Okay, I'm going to invest then. β
Liu Jingting waved his hand. Said: "This is not in a hurry, if I want to make a magazine, it must be completely independent, of course." If we can really do it in the future, there will definitely be a place for cooperation. β
Gong Chengen nodded and said, "I understand what you mean, no problem." β
After the two finished eating and drinking, it was almost ten o'clock, Gong Chengen went to settle the account in a daze, and pulled Liu Jingting to go to the river to blow the wind, Liu Jingting looked at his two deep dark circles, and he was also a little dizzy, so he went back to sleep.
"It's okay, let's go to the river to blow the wind, go to the Chengpu River to swim, I'm going to swim to Nangang......"
Liu Jingting shook his head with a smile, not knowing what to say, and suddenly heard Gong Chengen shout in shock: "It's bad, I just paid for wine and dinner, and when I gave a tip, I threw out a hundred yuan as ten yuan, and now, now I only have one, well, only fifteen yuan and six cents, and the money to go back to take a taxi is not enough?"
Liu Jingting smiled dumbly and said, "Don't worry, I have it, haha, pay attention next time you give a reward!"
β¦β¦
Just when Liu Jingting reminded Gong Chengen, who has always used credit cards to spend, to pay attention to the issue of tipping, the wave of online discussion about "The True Story of Ah Q" swept through the entire online literary forum and the microblogs of various portals like a tropical cyclone forming in the Atlantic Ocean and the eastern North Pacific.
For three hours, from seven to ten a.m., the bickering and discussion about this article was like a tornado sweeping through the boundless steppe, destroying a topic of other articles with swiftness and without leaving a trace.
That's a monumental literary argument!
From soy sauce onlookers to professional literary critics, from ordinary literary and artistic youths to well-known writers and authors, from energetic students to unsmiling teachers, from graduate students who are busy with their papers to professors and tutors who are equally busy with national projects, and finally from the vice chairman of the Writers' Association who discovered the New World like Columbus......
This hurricane of the literary world involuntarily lifted one cloud of discussion after another, tore it to pieces mercilessly, and then swept through the vast network and blew it into the morning and daily newspapers.
Keen literary critics quickly excavated the topic of "Ah Q spirit", calling it "the crystallization of Chinese character" and "the embodiment of the Chinese cultural spirit in the thirties and forties." β
As for the image analysis of Ah Q, it is even more varied, some say that he is "a typical example of a backward peasant", some say that he is a typical example of "national weakness", and some say that he is "a symbol of the spiritual phenomenon of all mankind".
It seems that "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" caused a sensation in the martial arts world, and the advent of "The True Story of Ah Q" has completely become a rare carnival for literary workers in the literary world!
"The novel shapes the typical character in the typical environment, creates a typical image, and outlines the soul of the silent people, so that the typical has great artistic generalization power. β
"The novel adopts a mixture of joy and sorrow. The work evokes bursts of laughter, but at the same time, it is also a tragedy that is written very heavily, and it is also harmonious, and there is a deep melancholy and sorrow hidden in the laughter. β
The novel's tearful lashing at Ah Q focuses on showing his vanity, forgetfulness and shame, which is undoubtedly a common proposition faced by the whole of humanity. β
β¦β¦
For those literary researchers, "The True Story of Ah Q" is like an inexhaustible treasure, and there are too many contents to explore, such as novel skills, artistic images, human nature, and historical cause and effect...... It's just dazzling, like a hunter who strayed into Baoshan.
And those netizens and readers who don't understand these rules are also full of interest in the character of Ah Q, and they relish Ah Q's remarks about nuns: "The monk can move, I can't move?" and then according to this sentence, all kinds of whimsical creations are made:
Spoof version: "The rich and handsome are so soaked that the goddess, I can't soak it?βyes, I really can't." β
Inspirational version: "Xueba can enter Yan University and Tsinghua University, but I can't?"
Draw inferences from one another: "I can't live in a luxury car driven by a local tyrant, but I can't live in a luxury house?" -- what's the big deal if I can't live in it, my son will definitely be able to live in ...... future"
XX Edition: "......"
β¦β¦
Then there is the question of the circle that Ah Q drew before his execution, when he was dying, he was still worried that his painting was not round enough, which would make people laugh, what a comical feeling, and what a deep sorrow like bone marrow?
At eleven o'clock, Dingjie Shenyou updated the microblog: "I read Liu Jingting's "The True Story of Ah Q", I am ashamed, compared with his works, the text I wrote is just an assignment for a kindergarten class, I admit defeat and willingly admit defeat. β
At half past eleven, Sima Wuji, who had not finished the manuscript, also posted a new blog: "During the Tang Dynasty, the poets Yuan Zhen, Liu Yuxi, Wei Chuke and others were guests at Bai Juyi's house, and everyone discussed composing a poem "Jinling Nostalgia". Liu Yuxi made a song in one go. Yuan Zhi and the others said with emotion: "The four of them explored Li, the son got the pearl first, so what is the use of the remaining Linjiao!" So everyone gave up their pens and didn't make poems, and began to drink and have fun.
This incident has become a good story in the literary world through the ages, but today I also encountered such a situation, but I can not compare with Yuan Bai, Liu Jingting's "The True Story of Ah Q" will be immortal, why should I be ugly again? Linjiao can not be won, it can be said that I lost a mess, fast, sad. β
The incident quickly spread on the Internet, and it was called "Mowgli has taboo, throwing a pen and surrendering." β
As for another famous artist, Zhou Zaidao, who had already completed his long treatise "Foreign Monks Recite the Sutra Well? Thought of by ABC", was in the process of the final round of revisions, and suddenly received a call from a writer's friend, who told him that the writers and writers who wanted to give Liu Jingting a little color were lining up on the Internet to surrender to Liu Jingting and admit defeat.
After Zhou Zaidao hung up the phone, he opened the webpage disapplausively, and then read "The True Story of Ah Q", after seeing the red face, after some hesitation, he finally bravely hung up his article, and as soon as the article was successfully published, he began to refresh the comments, and the first comment had not yet appeared, and he deleted the article with hatred.
Although I think I wrote it well, but, compared with Liu Jingting's article, it is tantamount to using a mantis arm as a car and a mayfly shaking a tree, although 10,000 don't want to admit it, but I really lost.
This time, Liu Jingting, without any doubt, won everyone!
The violent hurricane set off by "The True Story of Ah Q" is just the beginning, and that's it! (To be continued......)
