Chapter 140 January 1, 1984

Govin had never thought of publishing a series of articles on the rise of great powers, and Gan Xin's words undoubtedly reminded him

That's right, it was originally just a documentary, but "The Rise of Great Powers" was written by myself into a series of articles on the rise of great powers with a full 2.1 million words, which is enough to publish a book

Govin began to think about the idea of publication, and then he remembered what Gan Xin had just said. 【Ye * Zi】【Yo * Yo

Aren't you a magazine? How can you still publish a book? Govyn raised his question.

Hearing Gewen's question, Gan Xin's face showed a smug look, and then she said, Don't underestimate our "Reading" editorial department, the "Reading" magazine's competent unit, but the People's Publishing House, and we are all from the Erlian Bookstore."

Yilian Bookstore.

Hearing Gan Xin's words, Gowen's mind suddenly thought of his own translation.

Isn't Walden the book recommended by Barking to a joint bookstore?

You're saying that Reading is actually a magazine that is independent of a joint bookstore. Isn't Yilian Bookstore in Beijing? Why did you come to Shanghai to run a magazine? Lin Yiming on the side interjected and asked.

Hearing Lin Yiming's question, Gan Xin was caught off guard, her expression was even more dazed, and then she was silent for a long time, and then she raised her head and looked at Govin and Lin Yiming, and explained gently with a smile.

Although "Reading" only began to be prepared in October this year, as early as the end of the First Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee, we at Joint Publishing already had the idea of starting this magazine. After that meeting, we could already imagine the vigorous activity of the intellectual circles, including the publishing world, and in such a situation, the establishment of such a magazine of intellectual criticism was in fact the unanimous wish of all the members of our bookstore."

It's just that as you know, Yilian Bookstore is only a department of the People's Publishing House, and at this time, our personal ideals will always be limited by the real environment. Because "Reading" is a book-centered ideological commentary, this makes the leaders very incomprehensible, they feel that it is very unreliable for a publishing house to run an ideological review magazine, and besides, doesn't there already have the central government's "Red Flag"?" said this, Gan Xin's tone was so bitter.

However, "Red Flag" is a theoretical punishment sponsored by the Central Committee, which limits all his articles and views to the propaganda of Marxism, the ideology of the party, and the party's line, principles, policies, and deployments are official. That's not what we want."

Gan Xin recalled the old leader's teachings when they left Beijing, and then said proudly with a high neck, with the efforts of the old leaders of our Yilian Bookstore, now "Reading" is really about to set sail, the reason why we came to Shanghai is to be able to travel lightly, is to be able to get rid of the ideological baggage, we must let the independent thinking and free spirit of the Yilian Bookstore, "the tradition of the May Fourth era will be passed on on the land of China."

"Reading" is not a special academic penal object, "Reading" is not a common criminal object for the general public, it is unique"

It entrusts the spirit and hope of our Yilian Bookstore people, and it inherits the sentiments and traditions of our Chinese intellectual circles, and it is to take ideological enlightenment as the banner, to devote itself to restoring the chaos and to restore the liberal arts style of Chinese writing, and to win the favor of readers with the openness of thought, the freshness of discussion, and the timelessness of literary style."

Although Gan Xin's tone was peaceful, the self-confidence, self-improvement, and even pride that even a dull person like Lin Yiming could hear it clearly. 【Ye * Zi】【Yo * Yo

And Govin listened even more emotionally, it turns out that there is no shortage of people in China who really have lofty visions x really lofty ideals

It turns out that I have never been alone

Okay, I promise you."

Govyn said it very simply.

Thank you," Gan Xin heard Govine's answer and made a very tempting bow towards Govin very seriously.

Then she looked up at Govin and smiled slightly, and held out her right hand.

Once again, I would like to introduce myself, I am the editor of Gan Xin's "Reading" magazine, and I will be the dedicated editor who keeps in touch with you from today onwards.

In the future, I will ask Govin for your advice," the 1954 issue of Reader's Digest finally changed its title after a two-month buffer period, and officially changed its name to The Reader.

The majority of readers remained silent, except for a very small number of extreme readers who expressed their displeasure in a fierce way, and sent protest letters to the editorial office of The Reader in Gansu Province were as numerous as snowflakes.

But this is really a drop in the bucket compared to the letter written to Govyn.

It was in this issue of The Reader that Xingdeng published the third article in a series of articles on the rise of the great powers, "Towards Modernity".

This "Towards Modernity" is a two-part essay by Govin about the rise of Britain. It was in this article that Govyn began to slowly show his fangs

In addition to economic prosperity, political stability, and humanistic ideology and culture play a pivotal role in the rise of a country

British Prime Minister Winston Churchill famously said: I would rather lose an India than a Shakespeare. In the process of Britain becoming a great power, the works of the dramatist Sashbia enhanced the human spirit of Britain, the scientist Newton's laws of mechanics opened the door to the British industrial revolution, and the economist Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations" provided Britain with a new economic order. Their names are all prominently written on the path that Britain has traveled as a great power.

And on the main entrance of the Panthéon, the holy land of French thought and spirit, there is an inscription dedicated to the great men, the motherland, and thanks to them". It was in this Panthéon that the swordsman was buried with a sword, and among them, only the famous politicians were the scholars, and the rest were mostly thinkers, "writers", artists, and scientists.

How can a country not have its own humanistic ideas and cultural traditions?

In Govwin's view, culture is the lifeblood of a country, and if an economically rising power does not have the cultural strength to match it, it is definitely a deformed empire.

And Govin deeply regretted the various restrictions on Chinese culture at present, and even the loneliness of Chinese culture in later generations.

Because of this, he wrote "The Rising Poems" without hesitation, because he knew that he might not be able to publish it, but he still wrote "Country Teacher" without hesitation

Gowyn insisted on the principle that when something new such as hazy poetry x science fiction is in its infancy and is blocked at every turn, it should be called out and shouted for. One day, when it is in full swing, maybe it will really fall into the sand, or maybe it will really have a lot of shortcomings, and then it is not too late to criticize it.

The reason why there is this qiē is only because of his lofty ideals, all because of his deep love for this land

Therefore, Govyn wants to be a restless person in the eyes of others, so Govyn just wants to come out again and again to provoke fire, so Govin wants to stir up more turbulence in this stall, although there are ripples, but because of this, the lake that seems to be sinking is more turbulent, so Govin wants to express his worries about China's development in a series of articles on the rise of great powers

He just wants to give a preventive blow to the future reform and opening up

No matter how hoarse the throat is, even if the feathers rot in the dirt, they will not hesitate

As for whether this person can really wake up, as for whether he can really realize his ideals and expectations

Govyn didn't know.

He only knew that if he didn't do it, the frying would never succeed.

The first article on the rise of a great power is as modern as the title is indeed intriguing more readers.

Miao Gouya's history of flying to Spain and the Netherlands is too long, and although I am interested, I also have a sense of distance. Only Britain in the Opium War, and only the tragic history of modern China can make more Chinese feel the same treasure, and let more people share the same hatred for the enemy.

Therefore, this article about the United Kingdom has undoubtedly attracted the attention and discussion of readers.

In fact, the real discussion is not limited to the Reader.

On the same day, the inaugural issue of the magazine was launched.

This book called "Reading" was originally rarely cared about, but when readers were going to major bookstores and various bookstalls to buy their favorite magazines, when their eyes inadvertently swept over the cover of this white magazine, many people noticed that they were reading: "Next to this big title, there are a few lines of thick and colorful fonts circled in a dark green box

Read no forbidden area" Li Honglin

The Rise of Great Powers Towards Modernity"

Rural teacher Govyn

The hymn of science and the people, Zheng Wenguang

The five words "Reading Without Forbidden Bush" and the two words "Gowen were put away widely, as if they were afraid of being ignored."

And the two words Govin occupy the position of two lines and are the most conspicuous.

Reading without forbidden areas is a good breath

As soon as the reader who has already got the magazine he wants to baby is about to go to the counter to pay, there is a burst of disdain in the hearts of readers,

But when they read this article "Reading Without Forbidden Areas", they had to marvel that this was a heroic article

In this article, the author raises the question of principle: Do the people have the freedom to read?

You must know that at this time, China has set off a wave of cleaning up spiritual pollution, dressing up and flying, entertainment activities and even listening to songs have been subject to certain restrictions and regulations, and there have been book collection campaigns like the Cultural Revolution, which makes ordinary readers who are thirsty for knowledge and thirst for books how can they stand it?

And this "Reading Without Forbidden Zone" is like a banner for readers, sending out that the people have the right to read freely, such a concise and firm article is not a heroic article, what is it?

What a good article

After hastily opening the magazine and reading other articles, the readers who had not planned to buy this magazine smashed their lips and then took out the money from their pockets to buy this somewhat unusual magazine.

Reading the Forbidden Cong Ligovin?

Most readers read these words and the thought came to them that Govin had written a new article.

Out of curiosity, many readers picked up the "Reading" magazine from the bookshelf or the book stall.

But when they looked closely, they found that this reading had nothing to do with Gowen.

Then they took a look at the fact that the magazine had a new article by Govin in addition to the series of articles on the rise of the great powers.

Big surprise

You must know that now the discussion on the rise of great powers among the people has become more and more popular, and it has almost become a topic of participation of the whole people, as long as you read the newspaper regularly, there is no one who does not discuss this topic. It is no exaggeration to say that the series of articles on the rise of this great power is almost the same as the sensation caused by the CCTV documentary "Words on the Yangtze River" a few months ago.

I hope it's also about the rise of great powers

With such anticipation, readers opened the "Village Teacher",

For most readers, if they want to read Gowen's article on the rise of great powers, the first thought that comes to mind is to go to Reader's Digest, which should be called "Reader" instead of "Reading". Therefore, the first action they took after opening this "Reading" magazine was not to read "Into the Modern", but to turn directly to the page of "Country Teacher".

Well, it's actually an article.,It's hard to say this.,It seems to be very good.

Most people continued to watch the plot development according to inertia.

Hey, there are alien civilizations? What does this say?

Many people gasped and looked up.

In fact, the turmoil in the science fiction world is very far away from ordinary reading, and most readers may have read some science fiction and popular science works scattered in their past reading, but this does not mean that they like or pay attention to such works.

Of course, there are also readers who like or know the current situation of China's science fiction industry, for this reading, it is really an excellent enjoyment to be able to see a science fiction work again in the desolation of science fiction for more than a month

However, whether it is a reader who does not know science fiction or a reader who likes science fiction, after reading this, all of them have been deeply moved by the experience of the rural teacher at the beginning of this unusual novel, and they can't wait to read it again

Then the white pages were stained with tears.

Then the reader stood quietly in silence in the midst of the surging crowd around him.

Then the reader was deeply moved by this passage and was moved by the sensational magnificence contained in the novel

It's the best novel I've ever read

This thought welled up in the minds of many readers.
