Two days later, Jia Youwei and Yuan Meng met in a coffee shop not far from Yuanda Publishing House. It's become the old place for them to meet.

The two sat facing each other at a table outside the coffee shop. They still maintain their old habits, Jia Youwei is pure water in front of him, and Cappucciro is in front of Yuan Meng.

"Nowadays, you are quite famous in the literary world. Yuan Meng's face bloomed with a smile that was brighter than the current sunshine.

Jia Youwei knows very well that the literary world is one thing, and in real life it is another. Even if you are famous in the literary world, it does not mean that your fame among the people is the same.

As for the truest literary value, it's a different story. There are many writers who were not valued in the past, but now they are taken seriously, and his works.

Jia Youwei couldn't help but think of Wang Zengqi. When I was studying, there was not a single excerpt from his article in the Chinese textbook. Nowadays, many excerpts from the other party's articles have entered the current Chinese textbooks.

"Wang Guozhen once set off a wave of Wang Guozhen fever in the 90s, and his fame and influence have deeply affected many people, one generation, and two generations.

In fact, the so-called poems he wrote are more like the lyrics that are popular today. From a certain point of view, he is Guo Jingming of the previous generation. In terms of literary value, it is not useless, but also limited in value. Jia Youwei said calmly.

"You're too modest. To be honest, I can see a writer who started from obscurity and slowly rose to prominence, and a new star in the literary world rose to fame today.

Your writing is just amazing. You are our future Lu Xun. Yuan Meng didn't pat himself on the back, he said sincerely.

"I'm not being modest, I'm telling the truth. Your last sentence is wrong. Lu Xun is best at writing essays, generally. His younger brother Zhou Zuoren is the best at writing prose, which is equally average.

The two brothers were the first in essays and the first in prose respectively at that time. Say a few more words here, as soon as Zhou Zuoren is raised, the first reaction of the brainwashed and self-righteous children is a traitor.

When it comes to Zhang Ailing's ex-husband Hu Lancheng, it is still the same reaction, traitor. I'd like to ask, have you read their works seriously?

Character is one thing, literature is another. Just like I did to Guo Moruo, in my mind, it is not because I don't like poetry, not because of his poor character, and I can't deny the other party's knowledge, but because he is not like a literati, but more like a very speculative politician.

As for me, I really don't know who is the real king of my country. Lao She is not, and the contradiction is not good. Yu Dafu or something, more general. ”

Jia Youwei leaned back on the chair, crossed Erlang's legs, crossed his fingers in front of his lower abdomen, and talked slowly.

Yuan Meng nodded with a smile and said, "Don't you care how your books sell? For example, the recently published "White Deer Plain". ”

"What is there to care about. If you like this thing, you often say it's good, and if you don't like it, you generally can't say it's good. Take me as an example, Yasunari Kawabata is famous enough!

The first writer in the island nation to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. Even the literary master Márquez was inspired by having read each other's "Sleeping Beauty".

Mo Yan was also inspired by him and took him as his teacher, and so did Yu Hua, whom you like more. But I can't really like his work.

In the same way, I cannot deny that Yasunari Kawabata's work is very distinctive, the sun and the wind are very strong, and his own distinct personality is in it.

His works show the tea ceremony, geisha, and chess ceremony unique to the island country...... To a certain extent, it reflects the spirit and life of the people of the island country. Jia Youwei said with interest.

He paused here and continued, "I like the work of Yukio Mishima, a disciple of Yasunari Kawabata. Yukio Mishima's first impression to me was that he was quite talented, or rather a ghost.

Yukio Mishima is best known for his "Kinkakuji". And I don't like it, in my mind's ranking, "Kinkakuji" is not as good as "Confession of a Mask" written by him.

My favorite thing is that he wrote "Worrying Country". Although the book has a clear militaristic ideology, it is flawed. I felt the beauty of eroticism and the beauty of suffocating death the most, holding them together like left and right hands. ”

Yuan Meng has long been accustomed to meeting writers and talking about literature-related things. She has long known that writers tend to make subjective likes and dislikes of other works.

Those who don't know naturally don't know what the other party is talking about, and those who know understand it as soon as they say it, evoking some memories of the past and resonating.

If you like a certain work by a certain writer, after reading it, it is easy to have some of the same feelings and feelings in your heart.

"Heaven and man live like the sun, and mortals live like the year. A person like you, who has books as a companion, even if he does not live a life of a celestial being, is not as sad as a mortal. Yuan Meng said with emotion.

When Jia Youwei heard her words, he understood that the other party still didn't know his true identity. He is a celestial. The concise mouth is tight enough, and even his best girlfriend doesn't reveal a little truth about himself.

"Actually, whether it is a celestial or a mortal, it is not about how long you lived, but about what you did when you were alive.

If everyone succeeds, the entire social structure will not be able to maintain and will collapse. High, medium and low allocation, and the right number of seats, is the only way to maintain the social structure.

What kind of situation do many people belong to today? A job is like a dead father, a dead mother, and the whole family is sad. Not working, and falling into boredom again.

When I was working, I started thinking about retirement. When it came time to retire, suddenly at least eight hours more came out, and suddenly there was nothing to do, and I didn't know what to do.

Hey, it's better to eat, drink and have fun, and brag about it. It not only satisfies the material desires, but also enjoys the spiritual boredom.

The lower the people, the easier it is to fall into such a circle. Doing the right thing, the work thing, no blood, no spirit of excellence, a little more work will feel unfair, not to make a fuss to let the whole world know the same, suffered a great unfairness and grievance.

On the contrary, in daily life, because of the trivial things of sesame mung beans, they are vindictive, pinching each other, cursing, fighting, and killing, especially showing the bloody side. Jia Youwei said with a smile.
