Chapter 63: Group Portrait (Revised)

It was as if a big stone had been thrown into a calm lake, and public opinion, which had begun to slowly calm down, was set off by an article in the "New Weekly Evening News".

……

It only took one month for Govin to officially change from a trainee editor to a review editor, and according to the normal procedure, a review editor always has to go through a series of positions such as logistics editing to become a review editor, and this process may take a year or more than ten years, but in any case, can a novice who has never been in contact with editing work really become a review editor? Maybe it's really as Harvest magazine thinks, that Govin has an extremely talented talent, or is there something wrong with it?

……

Judging from the information learned by the editorial department of "Harvest", when Gewen applied for the position of trainee editor of the editorial department of "Harvest", he did not provide any letter of introduction, household registration and other supporting materials, and it was the editor-in-chief of the editorial department of "Harvest" who cherished his talent and hired him exceptionally. But I want to ask here: What is Gowen's identity and origin? Why can't we ask him about any of his experiences before working in the editorial department of "Harvest", is he really like the Monkey King in Journey to the West?

If we are like Lu Xun who does not speculate with the worst malice, then can we use the title of "comrade" to call this mysterious Gowyn?

……

As early as the "Yangcheng Evening News" published Gewen's "Exhibition of China Needs to Pay Attention to the Value of Individual Life", the opposition voices in the public opinion circles can be described as loud and loud, including the "Guangming Daily" and other party and government organs and newspapers all stood up to refute the opposition, but it was only later that the "People's Daily" came forward, and Gowen's second article was even more reasonable, evidence-based, and insightful, which really calmed down the opposing public opinion. Unexpectedly, just when everyone thought that the matter was over and that they were about to return to normal, the "New Zhou Evening News" suddenly appeared, and its columnist Duan Qigang expressed a sharp article.

Duan Qigang's cunning lies in his flexibility. This time, he no longer insisted on opposing Govine's views, on the contrary, he praised Govine's article as if it was unparalleled in the world, but after this guy praised Govine's article, he casually began to report on Govine's life experience. At first glance, it seems to be analyzing the deep reasons why Govin has achieved such results, but in fact, it is uneasy and kind. After Duan Qigang reported on Gowen's life experience in detail, he curiously raised a question, that is, why no one knew about Gowen's previous experience in the editorial department of "Harvest"? This sharp question suddenly put Gowen's unknown identity in front of everyone. Duan Qigang, on the other hand, kindly arranged several plausible guesses for Gowen, and these seemingly well-intentioned guesses directly pushed Gowen's situation into the bottomless abyss.

Everyone who has read Duan Qigang's article will involuntarily follow Duan Qigang's train of thought to guess the identity and origin of Govern when they know that Gewen's life resume before working in the editorial department of "Harvest" is blank. Then it will be Duan Qigang's sentence "If we are like Lu Xun and do not speculate with the worst malice, then can we use the title of 'comrade' to call this mysterious Gowen?" Frightened, the original admiration for Govyn suddenly disappeared from ten layers to five layers.

From this point of view, these two articles written by Govin are really for capitalism and deliberately undermine the ideology of our country! -- Those ignorant but proud intellectuals who have no thought for themselves are beginning to come to their senses.

Regardless of this author, his views are correct and extremely value-oriented! -- Many intellectuals don't change their views for the sake of an article full of speculation. Just as Ba Jin said, an intellectual must be worthy of his own conscience and sense of social responsibility, and must have his own independent personality. It is precisely because of the independence of our intellectuals that the words of a scholar have weight. We are willing to believe his words and his research, and believe in the logic of scholarship itself, with the pursuit of truth as the goal. As for Govine? What we focus on is the mind, the consciousness, and what does that have to do with the individual?

Bored! A newspaper relies on xiao gossip and gossip to attract the attention of the public, which is so shameless and insulting to the intellectuals! -- At first, they were opposed, but after reading the two articles in the People's Daily, Govin and Ba Jin, they repositioned themselves, and the intellectuals who agreed with Gowen's views said to themselves with some anger.

Let you be arrogant again! Now something is wrong! -- The stubbornly conservative opposition figures were delighted that Gowen's two punches had left them bruised in the face, and that the strongly convincing arguments in the second article had left them speechless. So as soon as the article in the "New Weekly Evening News" came out, they were extraordinarily gloating.

If the thoughts and opinions on the question raised by the "New Evening Post" about Govine's identity are normal, then the jealousy hidden in the hearts of some people is much darker!

No matter what the era, there are always some people who are dark in their hearts, they can't see the good of others, they are not talented but they are extraordinarily jealous, in their eyes everything is just a problem, all judgments are just a judgment, that is, "I agree" and "I disagree". In their eyes there are only simple "yes" and "no", "for" and "no", so you are either left or right, you are either socialism or capitalism. Everything is black and white in the eyes of these people. When they saw that the young Govyn had achieved so much, they were jealous, they were unhappy, and they wanted to oppose Govyn. They can't refute the arguments in Gowen's article, but it doesn't matter, we can criticize Gowen's unknown identity. No matter how well your articles are written, having an unknown identity is a big stain, and we have reason to suspect your motives for writing these two articles, and we have reason to suspect that you are a bad person!

It's just that although these people with dark hearts really want to be the wind that "Mu Xiu will destroy in the forest wind", the previous change in the drama of the public opinion circle has made them a little vigilant: before the shape is unknown, it seems that they still need to wait and wait.

……

Such an unexpected gossip can be said to have attracted everyone's attention, not only intellectuals but also ordinary people are interested in telling their opinions, so that the news with mí fantasy sè color and story xìng is much more interesting than the **, humanitarianism and other things discussed in the previous newspapers.

On the morning of the same day, in front of the newspaper reading window in front of the main teaching building of Fudan University, a dense crowd of college students gathered. A group of college students dispersed, and it didn't take long for a new group of college students to gather.

"I'm cao! Is this article in the New Weekly Evening News true or false? ”

"I'll just say, Govyn is about the same age as us, why is he so famous, it turns out that people have a relationship!"

"Hu said, "One Generation" and "Exhibition of China Need to Pay Attention to the Value of Individual Life...... Can this be written by relationships? ”

"Hmph, the reviews of this "New Weekly Evening News" are really not very good, and it is too despicable and shameless to always rely on these sensational articles to attract readers! And this Duan Qigang, a senior expert in the theoretical field, I think he is bragging! ”

……

In response to today's article in the "New Zhou Evening News", everyone has all ideas, questioning, disdainful, opposed, agreeing, and everyone is talking about it.
