Chapter 100 The Social Value of "Taoist Tower" [First Update, Asking for a Monthly Pass]
Govin watched Ba Jin pick up the copy of Wen Wei Po on the table and smiled silently, feeling a strong curiosity in his heart. Different from the review articles published in other newspapers, this review article in Wen Wei Po was written by my favorite senior, Mr. Bingxin, and has a strong collection value for me. He had planned to keep the newspaper as a souvenir.
Speaking of Gowen's collection, it's really a bit big at the moment. In addition to those newspapers and magazines that published his works, Gowen's collection also includes some popular small collections such as postage stamps and food stamps from various sources, some collectible old books and magazines from the market, some reviews of his own articles, review manuscripts left by himself as an editor and original manuscripts left by correspondence with some authors, etc., all of which may not be noticed or collected by anyone now, but Govin knows. These things that he kept were a very valuable spiritual wealth for himself, not only because of their value in later generations, but more importantly, these items that recorded the peculiarities of this era, were the marks he left in this era, and proved that his vivid experience was precious.
"Ba Lao, what are you laughing at?" Govin finally couldn't help but ask curiously.
Awakened by Govine's question, Ba Jin put the "Wen Wei Po" in his hand back on the table, then looked at Govin with a smile and asked, "How is it?" How does it feel to get Bingxin's praise? ”
Govyn scratched his head embarrassedly, and then said with some twist: "It's just surprise and excitement." Bingxin's old-timers are really happy to be able to write a review to discuss my "Taoist Tower"! I didn't expect her old man to speak so highly of this article, which made the kid a little ashamed. In fact, what I wrote is not as good as Bingxin's predecessors said. ”
Barkin heard Govin's words. I couldn't help laughing, this kid was this thing that made him admire, no matter how much sensation and praise he achieved, he always maintained a humble character. The more others praise him, the harder he tries to do better!
Ba Jin, who finally stopped laughing, panted and looked at Govin and said seriously: "Actually, Bingxin called the old man before publishing this comment......
Ba Jin pointed to the "Wen Wei Po" on the table and was about to say something, when he saw Govin screaming out suddenly, which startled Ba Jin and interrupted his next words at the same time.
"Ba Lao, are you telling the truth or false? Why don't I know? Shocked by Godwin, he looked at Barkin with a slightly suspicious expression. He goes to Ba Jin's house every morning these days. Then stay all day, and don't leave until dusk, if Bingxin calls. So how could he not know?
Ba Jin was so shocked by Govine, and couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken, after all, he was too old to stand this kind of stimulation. Usually Govin pays attention to these details. But just now, I didn't control my emotions.
Barkin's one hand propped up on the desk. The other hand was applied to his chest, and then he took a deep breath to suppress the boiling of qi and blood, he saw that Govin still did not notice this scene, and did not blame him, but continued: "When Bingxin called me, you had already gone back, how could you know?" Ha, you don't stay by the old man's side twenty-four hours a day. How dare you doubt what the old man said. Could it be that the old man will still lie to you? As he spoke, he walked back to his desk.
Govin hurriedly followed, his face even more covetous. He smiled in front of Ba Jin, trying to understand Bingxin's situation from Ba Jin's mouth, Bingxin is also an old-timer he admires, her excellent works can even be said to be accompanied by his own growth, in addition, Bingxin can be said to be the most concerned about the most favorite children among the older generation of Chinese writers, many of her works are innocent and sincere, containing extremely strong feelings, deeply loved by the majority of young readers, in later generations she is known as "the old grandmother of Chinese literature", The old grandmother is always gentle and kind, and she is super fond of children. Gewen still remembers that when his Chinese teacher was teaching the text "Sending Young Readers", he also organized a whim of one of their students to write letters to the old man Bingxin, but unfortunately those letters were like stones sinking into the sea, and there was no response at all.
When Barkin walked to his desk, he was about to sit down tremblingly, but Govin quickly helped him. After sitting down, Ba Jin leaned back in his chair, squinted at Gowen, glanced at him and said, "Why don't you suspect that I am lying to you?" ”
Gowen smiled awkwardly, and begged for mercy at Ba Jin without smiling: "Ba Lao, I said the wrong thing, it's me who is wrong...... Don't you lose my appetite, did Mr. Bingxin call because of my "Taoist Tower"? ”
"Yes, after Bingxin saw your "Taoist Tower" in September's "Harvest" magazine, he called me as soon as possible, about nine o'clock in the evening, at that time, your kid had already gone home, how could he know!" Ba Jin said angrily.
Ba Jin's childish temper has long been ignored by Govin at this moment, and he is more concerned about only one question - that is, what did Bingxin say when he called?
"Ba Lao, what did Mr. Bingxin tell you?" Govyn's tone was tinged with a hint of excitement. According to him, Bingxin's phone call was definitely related to the literary criticism that was later published in Wen Wei Po.
Ba Jin smiled and nodded, and then said: "Bingxin called, the most important thing is to ask who is this Govin who published the "Taoist Tower", and how can he write such an atmospheric article......
Babin deliberately skipped not listening, and continued to stare at Barkin's next words.
"At that time, Bingxin asked me about your situation, and I gave her a brief introduction to your kid's experience and your works, and then Bingxin suddenly realized on the phone, she knew you, and Bingxin had read all the controversy and sensation caused by your kid in the previous stage."
Hearing Ba Jin say this, Govin couldn't help but sweat profusely.
"Bingxin, after learning a little about your situation. Just a compliment on the phone, well, that's basically what happens on the phone. It's about you on the phone. Ba Jin said and stopped. Then pick up the glass on the table and drink the water. Then he noticed that Govin was listening to himself, and he couldn't help laughing.
Hearing Ba Jin's words, Govin's heart was really scratching his ears and cheeks, and the monkey was very anxious, he just wanted to hear how his favorite old-timer Mr. Bingxin praised him. But who knew that Ba Jin seemed to deliberately embarrass himself, so he omitted Bingxin's praise of himself.
Govin stood up in disappointment and was about to leave, and then from behind him came Barkin's nonchalant words-
"The next thing is for Bingxin and I to discuss your "Taoist Tower" on the phone."
Govin turned around in a daze. He came back to Barkin's side and asked, "Oh? How do you all discuss the Taoist Tower? ”
"Hehe, just like Bingxin wrote in Wen Wei Po, the essay "Taoist Tower" refreshes the general mode of prose narrative. It has come out of the aesthetic norms of "small experience", "small ornaments" and "small philosophy", and has established a truly tall and independent main image, which has opened up a new world for prose and pushed contemporary prose to a new milestone. It is worth learning and emulating for all prose writers. ”
"The characteristics of this historical and cultural essay are obvious."
Hear Govyn's words. Ba Jin couldn't help but roll his eyes, on the phone, he and Bingxin argued for a long time because of the article "Taoist Tower", and finally came to the same conclusion, Govin actually said it so lightly, and did not respect the fruits of the predecessors' labor at all!
"Actually, Bingxin also made a very interesting point." Ba Jin sold a pass.
"What?" Govin was intrigued.
"Bingxin believes that your "Taoist Tower" not only has outstanding contributions to literature, but also has positive social value!" Ba Jin looked at Govin and said seriously.
"What!" Govin was dumbfounded.
Ba Jin was satisfied with Gowen's surprised expression, and he continued, "At first, I felt the same as you, Bingxin's point of view was nonsensical. But after listening to her explanation, I found out. It's really like that! ”
"Ba Lao, what the hell is going on? Hurry up! "Govyn was in a hurry.
"After 1979, China had just bid farewell to a decade of turmoil full of dreary, oppressive and tragic turmoil, and seemed to have suddenly entered a new world from closed to open. This feeling is a bit like the early Renaissance, there was a need for enlightenment in society, what problems and predicaments happened in China? How do we choose a new direction? How to re-understand this era...... In short, reform has become the consensus of Chinese society, and everyone feels that this cannot go on like this, but no one knows exactly how to do it. Although "Taoist Tower" is only an essay, it advocates a scientific and rational understanding of history, especially the dialogue of Dunhuang experts at the end, which can reflect your thoughts as an author, and your idea of self-esteem and hard work will in turn educate the readers of "Taoist Tower". ”
Bingxin said that the reform and opening up provides a kind of hope for the Chinese, and everyone is eager to sort out the history and face the future, so that the historical trend coincides with personal aspirations, and the "Taoist Tower" came into being, while facing history, it also calls on readers to have the courage to struggle, to be self-respecting and self-reliant, which is the spiritual food that readers need at present...... From this point of view, your "Taoist Tower" really has positive social significance! ”
Ba Jin kept relaying Mr. Bingxin's praise, which made Govin feel ashamed and fiery when he heard it, ashamed that he didn't have so many ideas when he wrote "Taoist Tower", at most he wanted to publish a few articles in the form of cultural essays; The hot thing is that being able to get the praise of the seniors you like is enough to be proud and show off.
The smile on Govin's face naturally fell into Ba Jin's eyes, and he also smiled slightly, and did not remind Govine, because he knew that Govin would not be proud because of a person's praise or the sensational effect caused by an article.
Govin smirked for a long time before he said, "Ba Lao, in fact, my original idea was very simple, that is, I wanted to write an essay on Chinese history and culture. China has a splendid history of 5,000 years, and there are too many people and things in the past, and in the face of some phenomena in the cultural process, we should keep a clear sense of this, a kind of thinking through the fog of history, and strive to transcend knowledge, and seek a spiritual dialogue with history, with others, and with myself, which is the purpose of my writing "Taoist Tower". ”
After saying these words, Govin thought for a moment, and then continued: "As for the social value of "Taoist Tower", this, I really have never thought about it. ”
"Haha, that's the difference between the subject and the object of the article!" Barking laughed.
