Chapter 351: I'm About to Fly [Resume Update]
The indifference on Yang Yang's face quickly became serious, and then became even more solemn. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
What did he see?
That's right, history.
But this is history that he has never seen, heard, or learned since he grew up!
The history written in this article, entitled "Once Upon a Time in Hong Kong", is actually some history that has not been recorded in history textbooks and reading books, some allusions that can only be found in the pile of old papers, and a few small waves that have almost disappeared in history.
But it's a historical epic for ordinary people!
It is the struggle and struggle of the ancestors of Hong Kong!
It's about the tragedy and glory of Hong Kong!
Yang Yang never knew that Hong Kong's past would have such an epic history.
I don't know how long it took, Yang Yang suddenly woke up from his stunnedness. The newspaper in his hand was soaked at some point.
Yang Yang wiped his eyes with his hand.
I actually cried!
It's obviously a peaceful and simple language, it's obviously an ordinary Chinese character, but how can it have so much magic!
This one should be an essay.
Yang Yang, a self-proclaimed intellectual, is no stranger to this genre, but he has read so many prose, and no prose can make him so engaged and give him such abundant feelings!
What kind of feelings does this author have to write such touching prose!
It is both traditional and modern, realistic and lofty, the language is simple and honest, but the heart is full of waves and intriguing to read. This is completely different from the articles of famous Hong Kong writers that he has read in the supplement of "Ming Pao" before, it seems that there is no need to use momentum and writing to motivate readers, just using calm and simple language to make readers feel deep emotional feelings.
That's amazing!
Yang Yang took a deep breath, put the newspaper in his hand on the empty seat next to him, and then raised his head.
Only then did he notice the building outside the window, and he was clearly past the site.
Worst!
Sure enough, I raised my wrist to look at my watch, and I was almost two hours late.
Yang Yang stood up from his seat and opened his mouth to shout to the bus driver to stop, but then he suddenly relaxed again.
Since it was already late, the morning's salary would be deducted by the stingy manager anyway, so why rush this moment!
What's more, I can appreciate such a wonderful prose, just talking about spiritual food, but I have made a lot of money!
Thinking of this, Yang Yang quietly looked at the scenery outside the window, the hurried pedestrians, and the soul of literature and art in the deepest part of his heart rose spontaneously.
It seems that I have never stopped to take a serious look at the people and things in Hong Kong!
Through the car window, Yang Yang looked at everything greedily, serious and satisfied.
We are rich, we are prosperous, and this era cannot remember everything that has ever disappeared.
We are rich, we are prosperous, but we lose the view at our feet.

In April 1985, the Hong Kong Information Service conducted a readership survey. According to the results of the survey, which is dozens of pages long, Ming Pao has the third largest circulation in Hong Kong. In other words, out of a population of 4.594 million in Hong Kong, Ming Pao has 423,000 readers, accounting for 9% of the total number of people in Hong Kong. This shows the status of Ming Pao in the minds of Hong Kong readers, especially intellectuals.
Once upon a time in Hong Kong, "Once Upon a Time in Hong Kong" was like a depth charge, which suddenly set off ripples in the quiet lake of Hong Kong.
For a long time, when people talk about Hong Kong, their first impression is that Hong Kong is a center of world economy and trade in the East, but few people recognize Hong Kong's cultural values. Many people say that Hong Kong is a cultural desert, or that Hong Kong's culture is "inferior".
The reason why there is such a statement is that most of Hong Kong's local cultural production caters to the purpose of leisure and entertainment, and is popular culture and popular culture, and it is impossible to precipitate a real pearl.
This is because Hong Kong has only been open for 100 years and does not have its own deep traditions.
With the founding of the People's Republic of China, the severance of relations between Hong Kong and the mainland, and the invasion of Western culture, Hong Kong culture could have been an eclectic mix of East and West, slowly forming its own unique culture. However, in the seventies and eighties, this pluralistic culture encountered the impact of consumer culture and industrial culture before it could take shape, and it died directly. Since then, all that remains of Hong Kong culture is popular culture.
This can be clearly seen from various newspapers and magazines.
When long-form articles struggled to cater to the fast-paced Hong Kong people, short columns became the mainstream form of Hong Kong literature.
Columnists laughed and scolded in their columns, and spoke freely. Their words may be scathing and sharp, but more often than not, they are as smooth and flirtatious as Hong Kong and Taiwan citizens.
However, Govine's "Once Upon a Time in Hong Kong" is like a spring of fresh water that suddenly appears, which is refreshing.
His writing is simple but emotional, and he writes about the history of Hong Kong, which deeply touches the hearts of Hong Kong readers. It also amazed a group of Hong Kong popular writers who claim to be engaged in literary creation.
Yishu is one of them.
As a columnist for the Ming Pao supplement, Yishu reads every issue of Ming Pao, even if her column is not published in the current issue of the Ming Pao supplement.
This morning, as usual, Yishu had breakfast while spreading out the "Ming Pao" he had taken back from the mailbox and reading it while eating.
As a well-known talent in the Hong Kong literary scene, Yishu is very confident in her own talent, and she has always considered herself the most outstanding female writer in the Chinese literary scene. The only two female writers who made her feel some pressure were Taiwan's Sanmao and Hong Kong's Li Bihua.
As for the others, hmph, they are all native chickens and dogs.
So when people juxtapose her with Taiwan's Qiong Yao, saying something like "Hong Kong has Yishu, Taiwan has Qiong Yao" and other praises, Yishu always said with disdain, "That Qiong Yao, it's redundant to mention it!" ”
But for a long time, there have often been media comments that Lin Yanni is a talented woman, saying how good Lin Yanni is, how good she is, and saying that Lin Yanni is the most talented woman in Hong Kong.
It's just nonsense!
What's even more infuriating is that once when Jin Yong, Ni Kuang and the three of them were chatting, when talking about the prose of Hong Kong writers, Jin Yong said: "Lin Yanni is the best prose writer I have ever seen. Ni Kuang shook his head and said, "Wrong." Jin Yong was stunned and asked, "Wrong?" Ni Kuang said: "You should omit a word in your words." Jin Yong asked: "Which word?" Ni Kuang said: "Female character." ”
The elbow turned outward!
Since then, Yishu has been very unconvinced and has a disagreeable look at Lin Yanni.
The woman who claims to write with perfume is nothing more than a noble birth, a noble family, a noble education, a noble economy, a noble hobby, a noble taste, a noble profession, a noble manuscript paper, and a noble lover.
Writing with perfume sounds so beautiful and contrived, it's a joyous woman's tone, and that's what a female writer should look like!
When Yishu was alone, he slandered Lin Yanni more than once.
It's just that both of them are well-known figures in Hong Kong and can't tear their faces, so Yishu can only complain about the dissatisfaction in his heart by reading Lin Yanni's column.
Skipped the other columns, Yishu turned directly to Lin Yanni's column, and read the small article in ten lines at a glance, Yishu pursed his lips.
Delicacies?
The light will show off!
After lashing at the woman surnamed Lin in his heart again, Yishu continued to read other columns in a comfortable mood.
Hey, "Once Upon a Time in Hong Kong"?
Yishu was also intrigued by this extra-long article.
She took a sip of her coffee and read slowly.

Explain the reason for the interruption a few days ago.
There is another small public act added to the family, all kinds of miscellaneous things, you know. (To be continued.) )
