Gan Xin brought not only this review of Ah Cheng, but also the comments of other writers and readers. U-point

Therefore, this article published in different newspapers or in the torture object analyzes Gowen's "Village Teacher" in a tone of praise and even amazement.

What pleased Govin the most was that in this review, readers and writers did not just write about their impressions of the review, and many commented in amazement that they had never read such profound science fiction. They never imagined that science fiction could go so far, that it was simply the finest work of pure literature

Reading between the lines of this commentary reveals that the author's concept of science fiction has changed dramatically because of Govwin's "The Country Teacher".

In fact, Chinese science fiction has been branded with two brands for children from the very beginning, and the mouth of science education in cooperation with science education must have a collective belonging", and science fiction has always been hanging between the scientific circle and the literary circle. Science fiction belongs more to the scientific community, but compared with scientific research, science popularization is only a small part of the scientific community, and science fiction is a supplementary form of formal science popularization work. In the literary world, it is just a branch of children's literature, on the fringes of the periphery.

This is something that Govin has been haunting since he learned about the situation of science fiction from Lan Mao.

Of course, science fiction has the role of popularizing science, but it is also a kind of literature more importantly, as long as it is literature, it should have social judgment, human insight and philosophical thinking.

Combined with the science fiction novels he had read in his previous life, in fact, Govin felt that science fiction should have a realm

The first is science, that is, science fiction is regarded as a part of popular science, and the level of science fiction in a country depends on its scientific and technological strength, and scientific and technological strength reflects the scientific quality of the people, and the scientific quality determines the level of science fiction.

The second is that literature is science fiction, which is a form of literature and should belong to the literary world.

The third is that philosophical science fiction should think deeply about the development and application of science and technology in the future society. This is a relatively good literary genre, in addition to showing personal respect and concern for reality, the description and fiction of the earth and even the universe give it a superior space that other literary genres cannot have.

Only with this heavy realm can science fiction really prosper.

And now China's science fiction is undoubtedly still in the period of pioneering, which is a critical moment for the start, and it is a moment that needs to be recognized by the scientific and literary circles.

And aren't the signs revealed in this comment moving in the direction that Govin expects?

Govyn is in a very happy mood, although an article can't explain anything, but if a science fiction novel is used to change the concept of the literary world, and a science fiction novel is used to open up the science fiction writers of this generation with a relatively narrow perspective, it is undoubtedly an exciting thing

Especially when Govin saw Gan Xin take out a letter from his bag and hand it to him, he was already bubbling beautiful, and he suddenly jumped up from the sofa.

This turned out to be a letter written by Zheng Wenguang to himself

In fact, Gewen didn't know Zheng Wenguang before, but after learning about Zheng Wenguang's situation from Youmao, and looking for this novel, after reading his novel, Gewen thought of what kind of person Zheng Wenguang was from the depths of his memory. Yes, although Gewen didn't know Zheng Wenguang, he had seen his works. In his previous life, he had read a copy of Zheng Wenguang's "Mirror of the Earth" in "Science Fiction World", and at that time, after this very elaborate science fiction novel, the editor extracted that this was the work of Zheng Wenguang, the recognized father of Chinese science fiction in the science fiction industry.

At that time, after reading the "Mirror Image of the Earth", Gowen quickly forgot about this novel and Zheng Wenguang. After all, the works of decades ago are really not attractive to a reader who has seen countless excellent science fiction works at home and abroad.

But when Govin learned about the plight of Chinese science fiction from Y Mao, when he began to look through the science fiction novels of the Tian era, the name Zheng Wenguang appeared in his field of vision countless times. In 54, Zheng Wenguang, a full-time science popularization worker, published the first real science fiction novel "From Earth to Mars" in New China in the "China Youth Daily". At this time, the new type of foreign science fiction had not yet been translated into China, and even everyone did not know what science fiction was, and even Zheng Wenguang himself did not know that there was such a literary form in the West. But it was this short novel called "From Earth to Mars" that sparked a boom in Mars observation in Beijing after the "China Youth Daily" was sentenced, and people lined up on the ancient observatory at Jianguomen to see Mars.

Then Zheng Wenguang won the Moscow World Youth Festival Grand Prize with "Mars Builders" published in the previous year. This is the first science fiction novel in China to win an international award, marking the beginning of Chinese science fiction going out of China

Zheng Wenguang is still there,? In 58, he published an article in the "Reading Daily" titled "Talking about Science Fiction Small," saying. This article touches on almost all the basic theoretical issues of science fiction literature, such as the literary nature of science fiction, the inheritance of science fiction from ancient myths, how science in science fiction works distinguishes from real science, and so on.

Until now, this basic theoretical issue has continued to be implemented in the Chinese science fiction community, and there has been no major breakthrough in this theory

There is also the book "Leaping Sagittarius" that I saw from Youmao, a science fiction work published in a threatening year, which is the first full-length science fiction novel in Chinese history. It is no wonder that the science fiction community of later generations regarded Jing Wenguang as the father of science fiction in China. His science fiction works and theoretical explorations are indeed worthy of the admiration of all science fiction fans, and what a surprising thing that he received his letter at this moment, you must know that according to Gowen's understanding, Zheng Wenguang suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage in April of the year, and he had collapsed on the hospital bed and was hemiplegic. But what Govin heard from Youmao was a different set of rhetoric.

Youmao said that the reason why Zheng Wenguang suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage was because science fiction was administratively suppressed. Before Zheng Wenguang fell ill, he had just finished a science fiction novel, which was originally published as the head of "Science Fiction Ocean", and even the magazine had already prepared the layout, but then "Science Fiction Ocean" was ordered to stop by the superior leadership department. It was this news that made Zheng Wenguang, who had always been under pressure and criticism, fall down all of a sudden

Surprised, Govin opened the envelope and pulled out the well piece from inside. The handwriting on the letter paper was very delicate, not like a man's handwriting, but that was not the point, and Govin quickly read the contents of the letter seriously.

At the beginning, Zheng Wenguang also highly praised "Country Teacher" like Gu Cheng. Zheng Wenguang wrote on the letterhead

The essay "Country Teacher" is colorful, the writing is skillful, the storyline is full of legends, and the characters are portrayed", and the character is quite in place. The cosmic environment set in the article is very grand and real, giving people an extremely strong sense of shock. This is a rare masterpiece in the history of Chinese science fiction, and it can be called the best work

Although there is no doubt that "The Country Teacher" is excellent, seeing the praise of the father of Chinese science fiction still makes Govin feel a strong sense of pride. However, he was no longer the fledgling young man he had been, and his eyes still followed the letter. After commenting on "The Country Teacher", Zheng Wenguang's writing began to explain his understanding of science fiction and what is the spirit of science fiction. Science fiction is all about freedom and equality. In essence, science fiction is free literature, like a room of thought and intellectual adventures, like pop music that is now pouring in from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Because free science fiction can bring excitement to readers, there is always suspense, the future is never uncertain, and all kinds of technological innovations are emerging one after another. For example, in your "Country Teacher", what kind of whimsical idea is that a small atom can destroy your home? The spirit of science fiction is freedom of thought. It also means equality, and everyone is equal before the physical laws of the universe. Therefore, science fiction works are different from popular science works, and in a strict sense, science fiction works actually belong to the category of literary works. In addition, separating science fiction works from popular science books not only brings benefits to the prosperity of science fiction literature, but also helps the healthy development of science popularization in China. Zheng Wenguang is indeed a real master of science fiction, his understanding of science fiction and the theoretical research of science fiction have made Gowen admire, and his views are even agreed with by Gowen who was influenced by the relatively mature science fiction environment in later generations. So Govyn looked more seriously at trust. Then Zheng Wenguang described the development process of Chinese science fiction.

He wrote that Chinese science fiction was actually introduced to China by Lu Xun at the beginning, and Lu Xun believed that science fiction could popularize science in China and drive away ignorance, but unfortunately science fiction did not develop in social turmoil at that time. Then came the fifties and sixties, although Chinese science fiction had developed, the influence of politics and climate finally declined. The next is the prosperous period from the beginning of the Yang year to the present, but because of this irresistible factor, the current Chinese science fiction has once again fallen into a real crisis, if science fiction can not break free, I am afraid that this kind of mandarin orange will be hit hard again until it falls. Since I started writing science fiction novels, I have always believed that science fiction works have positive value and significance for readers, as well as for our society and country. However, in the more than half a year that I have been ill, although I have been lying on the hospital bed and doing nothing, I have been concerned about the development of Chinese science fiction every day, and I have never let go of my attention to Chinese science fiction.

At present, our country's policy is becoming more and more open, although we can still feel the invisible Hao, but I believe that as long as we stick to it, China's science fiction will be able to create brilliant achievements

Govwin: You have a great literary talent, not only poetry, prose, and novels, but also science fiction. Therefore, as an ordinary reader, I sincerely implore you to stay, and I hope that you will not be affected by external factors and can continue to create better science fiction works

As long as there is a young author like you, there is hope for Chinese science fiction, and I believe that Chinese science fiction will definitely break through in an all-round way in the current strict context of China, until Zheng Wenguang, who is heading to glory, dictated in Beijing Jishuitan Hospital,? 84, May 2.
