Chapter 38: Editorials

At this time, Lin Yiming saw that Lin Sa, who was walking in front, was about to walk through the mÊn entrance of Liuwei Zhai, so he hurriedly stepped forward and led to the side of the road, "Uncle, go this way." ”

After the three of them were seated, Lin Sa looked at the scenery outside the window and said with some sighs: "I didn't expect that I haven't been back to Shanghai for a long time, and Shanghai has changed so much!" ”

Gewen and Lin Yiming nodded in agreement, and Lin Yiming even said: "Uncle, you haven't been back to Shanghai for two years, and the changes are naturally great." ”

Lin Yiming's words seemed to have a special meaning, which made Lin Sa smile a little embarrassed, and did not answer the conversation, but warmly greeted the two of them to eat.

After waiting for the three of them to eat enough, Lin Sa put down his chopsticks and said to Gowen: "Gowen, you should know my work from Yiming's mouth." Yesterday in front of the teaching building of Fudan University, I overheard the point of view you said, which is very enlightening. Now, on behalf of the Yangcheng Evening News, I would like you to write an editorial about a college student rescuing an old man who fell into a manure pit. Don't know if you have time? ”

"Poof......" Lin Yiming was drinking with a glass of water, but when he heard Linsa's words, he couldn't help but squirt out, he didn't care about wiping it, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Gowen, how could his uncle also ask Gowen for a manuscript? How can this guy's luck be so good, it's so jealous! Lin Yiming's eyes were full of surprise and jealousy.

Linsa's words confirmed Gowen's previous speculation, but he didn't expect that what Linsa wanted to write was not an article in the supplement, but an editorial! You must know that he has never written an editorial, and although this editorial is a kind of news commentary, it is the most important news commentary and public opinion tool of a newspaper, and it represents the views and opinions of the newspaper's editorial department on a certain important issue, and its importance is self-evident. Editorials are often written by the editorial office of the newspaper, and it is generally impossible for outsiders to write editorials, and now Linsa actually wants to write editorials himself, and for a while Govin hesitated.

Seeing that Govin did not speak, Linsa continued: "The point you put forward yesterday is really thought-provoking, and in response to this matter, no one in the press has ever put forward a concept like 'the value of personal life', which is really eye-opening. I think the ideas you have expressed deserve to be discussed by all. ”

"But I've never written an editorial. And even if I write it, can "Yangcheng Evening News" agree with my point of view? ”

"It's okay, I've already communicated with the editorial department, everyone is very interested in your point of view, and the request to you is approved by our editor-in-chief. I can guarantee that no matter what your comment is, it will be in the "Yangcheng Evening News". Even if your comment cannot be used as an editorial in the "Yangcheng Evening News" table, it will be used as a reader's opinion table. In the face of Govin's question, Linsa gave his own assurance, "As for how to write the editorial...... You should write a normal article, and I will revise it for you when the time comes. ”

"In that case, I'll try." Since Linsa said it so resolutely, Govin was naturally happy to agree. If you can really make an editorial on behalf of the "Yangcheng Evening News", then your social influence will definitely be even greater.

Lin Yiming saw that Gewen agreed, so he asked Lin Sa with some puzzlement: "No, Uncle Xiao, have you really confirmed with the editor-in-chief of "Yangcheng Evening News" that you should let Gewen write and draft an editorial?" He is not a reporter or editor of Yangcheng Evening News! ”

When Gewen heard Lin Yiming's words, he also looked at Lin Sa suspiciously.

Knowing Lin Yiming's question, he picked up the water cup on the dining table and said with a smile: "Of course, with the consent of the editor-in-chief, otherwise I can be the master of the deputy editor-in-chief." ”

"But Govin is not from the Yangcheng Evening News?" Lin Yiming asked. Perhaps Govin has little contact with the press, but he knows that editorials are authoritative comments on news events or current affairs and political issues on behalf of the editorial department and the organizers, and they must be reviewed by higher-level party and government organs, and they are themselves a weapon to guide public opinion.

"It depends on how the comments written by Govin are, if it is reviewed by the editorial department, we will issue a special press card for the Yangcheng Evening News to Govern." Linsa said.

"I see!" Lin Yiming suddenly realized.

Ge Wen, who has been listening to the conversation between Lin Yiming and Lin Sa, finally clarified one thing, it seems that this editorial is really not easy to write. No wonder Linsa has already told himself in advance, and the comments may serve as a table of readers' opinions. Thinking of this, Govin asked Linsa, "Uncle Lin, does it have to adopt the 'value of personal life' that I put forward yesterday in the commentary?" ”

"Yes, we just hope that the comments you write are like what you said in the newspaper reading column yesterday, not simply judging whether 'college students save people' is right or wrong, but to dig out the deeper connotation and rise to the height of philosophy!"

Speaking of this, Linsa sighed a little, "In the past, everyone received the concept of collectivism and holism, and the concept of 'the individual is a screw of the collective' is deeply imprinted on everyone's body. But now the situation is different, the 10-year movement has ended, and the country's leaders have also asked everyone to emancipate their minds and reform and open up. At present, the great debate in the whole country about whether it is worth it for college students to save old farmers who dig dung, reflects the crisis of people's faith at a deeper level. The belief of the group, which once worshiped idols on the altar, began to waver, and people's self-worth was just emerging, and people simply did not know what to believe. What is even more terrifying is because the central government's policy of reform and opening up has caused some people to have the thinking of 'survival of the fittest', so they think that college students should not save the old farmers who dig dung. Once such an ideology spreads, it will be a disaster for our country, and this will inevitably lead to the cold-blooded degradation of our nation! ”

Lin Sa looked at Govin and said seriously: "Regarding this discussion, we in the Yangcheng Evening News unanimously believe that this has become a symbol of China's ideological emancipation, and we must guide everyone to look at it correctly. The two views of 'the value of personal life' and 'saving people is something that does not need to be discussed' that you clearly put forward are very meaningful, and this concept will make everyone realize the value of the individual at the same time, and have a higher level of pursuit of moral conscience, and this is exactly what "Yangcheng Evening News" hopes you can write! ”

Govin nodded, and there was no doubt about Linsa's purpose in asking him to write an editorial.

After listening to Linsa's words, the idea of fame and fortune in Gowen's heart began to fade away. Although he had a stronger mind to write editorials, what he valued more in his heart at the moment was the consequences of the harshness described by Linsa. In any case, Govin did not want the people who still maintain their simple ideas to begin to change to the utilitarian ideas of later generations, even if such ideas will change unexpectedly with the development of the economy and with the growing gap between the rich and the poor.

We must always leave everyone with a simple, comic, and beautiful era!

And isn't that what you want to do?
