"The Stubborn Master" is a controversial novel, which is extremely liked by readers who like it, and completely unacceptable to readers who don't like it.

Young readers feel that the novel speaks to their hearts and resonates, and they are just as confused and overwhelmed as the protagonist of the novel.

They want to do something, but they find it difficult.

The conflict of society, the conflict of the family, and the conflict of feelings are, in the final analysis, the conflict between the old and the new social concepts.

Middle-aged or elderly readers disagree, and they even think that it is a blatant promotion of bad ideas that will teach bad young people.

The stories in "The Stubborn Master" are all nonsense, low-grade taste, and vulgar thoughts, and such novels should not be published.

"Beijing" received a lot of letters from the audience, most of them about "The Stubborn Master", with support and praise, as well as slander and abuse, and the arguments between the two sides were very fierce.

Zhou Tianya had already expected this outcome.

The controversy within the editorial office has spilled over into the readers, and may soon cause a big discussion in the whole circle.

He vaguely felt that this incident might change the pattern of today's literary world and open a new era.

The speed of the spread of print media is not fast, unlike the Internet, which can be shared instantly, and it will take time to brew if it wants to cause a big discussion.

Lin Zixuan knew that "The Stubborn Master" was published, and he also bought a copy of "Beijing", so that he could explain the source of the manuscript fee to his parents.

In this matter, the reaction of the family is mixed.

Lin Boqing read the novel and criticized Lin Zixuan, as a staff member of the agency, he was more sensitive, worried that something would go wrong, his son was still young, in case he made a mistake because of this novel, it would affect his future progress.

His criticism also means to defend.

Zheng Xiulian is not happy, her son writes manuscripts to make money, which is a good thing, but I just told Lin Zixuan not to write such novels in the future, we can write whatever others do, then it will be stable.

Lin Xiaoling strongly supported her brother, thinking that this novel was particularly interesting, much better than those dull and boring novels.

Moreover, she can also show off in front of her classmates in the future, she has a writer brother, and she has a unique face when she thinks about it.

Of course, she has no say at home, and can only support Lin Zixuan spiritually.

A family is a small society, and it also reflects the face of the entire era.

Different from the encounter in the novel, Lin Zixuan has received a lot of praise for poetry, and "When You Are Old" and "Generation" are considered to be excellent poetry works in recent times.

In the 90s, Chinese poetry began to decline, and poetry needed more inspiration and passion than novels.

A high-quality poem can take a month or more to write, and when the passion is exhausted and the ideal is gone, the poet also needs to live and face reality.

In the age of material poverty, young people like poetry and love to write poetry, because poetry represents ideals.

Once we enter an era of rampant materialism, there will be no more great poets, and the poems written after eating and drinking will have no life, only moaning without disease.

Therefore, a poet must be poor, and poverty can write good poetry. Lin Zixuan concluded, "When the poet is about to starve to death, he must have a special life, a special emotion, and he will definitely write a shocking work." โ€

"Do you mean that you will be hungry for a few days before you can write poetry?" Mu Shanshan looked at Lin Zixuan, as if she really wanted to starve Lin Zixuan for a few days.

"How is it possible, I'm not like them, geniuses don't need to live. Lin Zixuan hurriedly said.

"Why didn't you bring me to the bar without living? Didn't you say you wanted to experience pop culture?" asked Mu Shanshan rhetorically.

On Saturday night, they sat in a bar and wanted to experience the pop culture of the capital.

Most of the bars and dance halls in Beijing are near Houhai Park, next to the Beijing Drama Academy, and there is also a snack street, which is a place where young people often come to hang out.

The bars of this era were simple, there were no bartenders, and there were not so many tricks, it was just a place to listen to music and drink beer.

Playful youths go to dance halls, while those who prefer quiet go to bars.

"How can we say that we are also literary and artistic workers, shouldering the important task of leading the masses to have a correct view of literature and art, it is necessary to conduct an in-depth field investigation of the current literary and artistic life of young people to see if they are healthy and have bad habits. Lin Zixuan said seriously, "How to investigate? Of course, it is integrated into it." โ€

"You just put a high hat on yourself, you are from the children's column group, you should go to kindergartens and primary schools to investigate, mingle with children, and become a confidant big brother. Mu Shanshan teased.

"Then you are the bosom sister, neither of us can escape. Lin Zixuan was not to be outdone.

"I'm going to travel abroad, and I'm running far away, and I can't catch it if you want to. Mu Shanshan said proudly.

"The program has been approved, the speed is fast enough, when did the TV station become so efficient?" Lin Zixuan was surprised.

"I just got approved today, and the station has always had a similar plan, and I just thought this show was good, so I approved it. Mu Shanshan replied, "Tell me, what do you think?"

"What do you think?" Lin Zixuan was puzzled.

"Aren't you worried? You haven't heard that the moon in a foreign country is rounder than in China, and people who go abroad will change their minds when they broaden their horizons, and there is a man in our station who runs the news abroad, and now he is coming back and is getting a divorce, and there is no common language for what to say. Mu Shanshan looked at Lin Zixuan and said seriously.

"What are you thinking? You're just going to do the show and not coming back, making it seem like we're going to fly apart. Lin Zixuan quipped, "Besides, if you want to say that you are worried, you should also be worried?

"I'm not worried, who will take a fancy to you but me. Mu Shanshan said dissatisfiedly, "Why don't we get married secretly first." โ€

"If we can't even withstand this test, even if we end it now, we still have to leave in the future, don't toss, it's good. Lin Zixuan comforted.

"I said, why are you so calm, aren't you really worried?" Mu Shanshan said angrily.

Lin Zixuan wanted to say that in his world, he was used to seeing the game of marriage and divorce between men and women, and there were fewer and fewer serious feelings, but he knew that Mu Shanshan was serious at this moment, so he had to be just as serious.

"Don't I believe you? There are still many days to come, and there are more trials to face, and this is just the beginning, so trust in each other is very important. Lin Zixuan held Mu Shanshan's hand and said slowly.

At this time, the resident singer in the bar finished singing and was about to step down.

Lin Zixuan got up, came to the stage, and borrowed a guitar from the singer.

He would love to sing a song to give to this age of innocence that is coming to an end.

"I used to ask when you would come with me, but you always laughed at me and had nothing. I want to give you my pursuits, and my freedom, but you always laugh at me and have nothing. โ€

"The ground is walking under my feet, and the water is flowing around me, but you always laugh at me, and I have nothing. Why do you always laugh enough, why do I always have to pursue, is it that I will always be in front of you, nothing. โ€

"I have been waiting for you for a long time, and I have asked for the last request, I will grab your hands, and you will follow me. At this time, your hands are trembling, and at this time your tears are flowing, could it be that you are suing me, you love me for nothing. "Mobile phone users, please visit wรจnhttp://mnet
