Chapter 17 Character Creates Miracles
The other two critics are also full of praise for the poem "A Generation".
The trend of thought sparked by this poem in the field of literary criticism soon spread to the circles of sociology and political science.
Sociologist Dusen commented: "The night can be used in sociology to refer to the unconscious of the group, and the eye can refer to consciousness. The black eyes represent the consciousness of the group.
The darkness of the night is everywhere, so black can be used as a metaphor for the large, wide, and many, alluding to the majority or group in this poem.
This kind of unconscious of the group and then the consciousness that arises represents not the awakening of the individual, but the consciousness of the group.
But this lack of light is blind, impulsive, and chaotic, and the most likely consequence of this is not the fulfillment of good wishes, but only the stepping on a stinky dog. Disgusting like.
From this poem, we can feel that the author calls for the self-awakening of the masses and the self-consciousness of the individual in the group. ”
Political scientist Qiang Ren commented: "Politics is never bright, and no system can be bright. The so-called Western countries praise Jesus as Lord, God, and light, but no one will say that the church is light.
Because any political system involves power, interests, distribution, and responsibility. For politicians, the first two are fundamental, and the last two are the stubs.
Countries with large gaps between the rich and the poor and large gaps in income distribution are often because the government ignores the fairness and efficiency of distribution and the symmetry of power and responsibility, and attaches too much importance to the dominance of power and the pursuit of interests.
What's more, people are self-interested. As the best of the self-interested people, politicians are mostly backsliding and untrustworthy groups.
In a country that is responsible for its superiors and oppresses its subordinates, this phenomenon is even more prominent. Because no matter how the people give bad reviews, the leaders have another consideration in their hearts.
The poet Yu Le makes clear the social and political darkness in his poems, and he does not believe that the choices made by people under the darkness will be bright, and in the end they are just like stepping on a stinky dog. -like absurdity and funny. ”
In this way, various reviews covered all the domestic media, and even foreign news media interpreted the poem.
On the sixth day of the retreat, Yu Le finally completed the second volume of "The Legend of the Mecha and the Two Rats", which totaled 80,000 words.
He plugged in the phone line, connected to the Internet, and then opened the web page, and was greeted by the public's hot comments and heated discussions on "Generation".
As a famous poet, Yu Le still has the bearing.
Because he has already passed the rookie period of posting poems and waiting for praise.
Now he has nothing to do with him, whether the reader is playing, laughing, angry, or scolding, he only cares about the amount of money in the account.
When I opened the mailbox, there were more than 20 unread emails in the inbox, mostly marked with the names of newspapers from various provinces, including several publishing houses.
Yu Le was very curious about the publisher's intentions, so he first opened five emails from the publisher one by one, basically wanting to obtain authorization to publish the collection of Yu Le's poems. As for royalties, the email indicates that they will meet and talk in detail.
This is the bonus effect of fame, Yu Le laughed.
Many people want to publish poetry collections, but they have invested in dozens of publishing houses but have not been able to get any opportunities, except at their own expense.
Yu Le is not, sitting quietly at home, the opportunity (will) fall from the sky, what does this mean: the name of the poem? Wrong, character.
He has always believed that character creates miracles, and now, the prophecy has come true.
However, he was not very familiar with any of these publishers.
Like the National Literature Publishing House, the Imperial Capital Literature Publishing House, the Magic Capital Literature Publishing House, and the Huadu Literature Publishing House, he had never heard of these.
Except for the Imperial Capital Daily Publishing House, well, in fact, he has never heard of this publishing house, he is only familiar with the Imperial Capital Daily.
Forget it, the publication of a poetry collection will have to wait a little longer, after all, he has only written more than 20 poems.
Therefore, he replied: "Thank you for your publishing house's love for the contemptible people, because the number of poems created by the contemptible people is small, it does not meet the standard of publishing poetry collections, so I do not plan to publish poetry collections in the near future." Thanks again! ”
After replying one by one, Yu Le sighed.
He opened the emails of various newspaper offices, starting with the Huadu Daily, which he didn't deal with very often.
In addition to the Imperial Capital Daily and the National Daily, the emails sent by other daily newspapers are all for manuscript requests.
Yu Le replied: "Thank you for the love of your daily newspaper for the contemptible people, due to the recent trivial matters of the contemptible people, the lack of creative talent, if there is a poem, I will not forget the love of your society." ”
After replying to these unfamiliar daily newspapers, Yu Le opened the email of the Imperial Capital Daily:
Hello Mr. Yule! Because of your poem "A Generation" published in the "National Daily", it has triggered huge social repercussions and social trends, attracted the attention and attention of the public, and gathered too high social heat.
The poem "Don't Play Without Money" is intended to be postponed, please forgive me for the inconvenience caused. The manuscript fee has been credited to your account, please check.
Yu Le replied: "Thank you to the editor-in-chief for your thoughtful consideration. The publication of poems is an internal matter of your society, and it is up to your society to make decisions. ”
Then, he opened the last email.
In an email, the National Daily said:
Like a nuclear explosion, your masterpiece "A Generation" has had a huge social impact, and it can be said to be a rare political satirical poem in the past 100 years.
The Young Poets Forum believes that the identity given to you as a participant is completely inconsistent with your poetry title and talent at this time. The organizers of the forum have sent another letter inviting you to be a special speaker.
In addition, your novel "The Legend of the Mecha and Two Rats" has a novel theme, humorous language, twists and turns in the storyline, contains the spirit of heroism, reflects the yearning for a free life, and has a positive theme.

At the same time, we sincerely hope that you can authorize the copyright of the poem and this novel to the National Literature Publishing House, and hope to get your reply as soon as possible.
Two days ago, the Young Poets Forum had mailed an invitation to his home. Yu Le didn't care about the Young Poets Forum's elevation of his status as a participant to a speaker.
For Yu Le, who is good at writing good works and often produces good works, his reputation and status are like floating clouds, not to mention that at this time, the top of his head is like a cloud crown.
The name of the poem, although it depends on praise. But Yu Le already has everyone's potential, and he can only rely on the quality of his poems.
