That night, Long Shao's words before going to bed were not drunk, and the next morning, he took Gowen to the People's Publishing House.

The People's Publishing House was the first publishing-institution founded by China in September 1921, and it was also the first well-known comprehensive publishing house of philosophy and social sciences after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Since its establishment, the People's Publishing House has always shouldered a lofty historical mission, mainly publishing philosophy and social science books, and can be said to be the official publishing house of our party's government and ideology-form books.

However, since 1951, when Sanlian Bookstore was merged into the People's Publishing House, the People's Publishing House has increased the publication of books in other fields, and has published many first-class works of academic value in the fields of economics, history, law, culture, and international issues, as well as biographies of important figures, philosophical and social science reference books and textbooks, etc., which enjoy a high reputation among the majority of readers.

The People's Publishing House covers a large area, the entire publishing house is surrounded by gray brick walls, and there are two plaques on the brick pillars on both sides of the gate.

As soon as you enter the gate, you can see many tall plants planted in the courtyard, some of which are still full of greenery and have not been affected by the season. Several small six-story buildings built during the period of Soviet aid were used to house the offices of various departments.

On the way here, Gewen had already learned some about the People's Publishing House from Uncle Long Shao's mouth.

The People's Publishing House has many departments, including the editorial department, the periodical department, the publishing department, the distribution department, the finance office, the personnel department, the party committee office, the veteran cadres office, and the office...... Among them, the editorial department with the largest number of departments consists of the Marxist-Leninist International Editorial Office, the Political Editorial Office, the Economic Comprehensive Editorial Office, the Philosophy Editorial Office, the History Editorial Office, the Cultural Editorial Office, the Legal Editorial Office, the Foreign Cooperation Department, the Quality Management Office, the Publicity and Planning Department, the Key Project Office, and the Oriental Publishing Service Company......

Long Shao and the other editors of Joint Publishing belong to the philosophy and culture offices of the editorial department, and work in a small building in the corner. And the Sanlian people, who are not loved by their mothers and uncles, are also happy to be self-contained, and they are in such a small remote building. Under the leadership of the old leader of Sanlian Bookstore, Sanlian people have planned a set of books called "Towards the Future Series".

In the small building, some of the doors of the offices on both sides of the corridor are open, and some are closed, whether they are open or closed, they are very quiet, which makes people slow down, for fear of disturbing the cleanliness of this area.

Long Shao led Govin straight up to the second floor. Then turning towards the third office on the right side of the stairs, Govin noticed the words "Editor's Office" written on the door.

Long Shao knocked on the door.

Last night, Long Shao said that there was a person in the Sanlian Bookstore who wanted to see Gowen, which made Gowen very curious, because in his memory, except for Tu Changshen and Long Shao, he didn't know any other Sanlian people. But when he wanted to ask Long Shao, Long Shao, who was already drunk, fell asleep. On the way here this morning, when Govin asked again, Long Shao smiled and pretended to be mysterious.

Now this mysterious person in Long Shao's mouth is about to appear. Gowen's heart couldn't help but rise.

"Please come in." An old voice rang out.

As Long Shao pushed open the door, every qiē in the room was displayed in front of Gowen's eyes, which was extremely impressive.

The first thing that catches your eye is a few white hemp ropes from left to right, the hemp rope is about one meter seven or eight from the ground, the two ends are nailed to the wall, and the hemp rope is hung with various postcards, photos, greeting cards, manuscripts and other small things, colorful, gorgeous. Govin snapped a look. I thought I had traveled to the afterlife again, because this scene was simply a photo wall arranged by the little freshmen in their homes in the later generations!

This office is not that big. It looks messy and crowded. The room was full of books and things, and there was almost no place to put your feet on. The only thing neat was a two-person sofa and that somewhat old desk.

At this moment, a tall, personable, and very amiable old gentleman stood up, wearing a very loose shirt that was indeed good, and the shirt with a slightly thin arm in the cuffs was extremely loose.

The old man stepped out from behind his desk. It's strange to say. Obviously, the whole house was piled up with all kinds of books like a grocery store, but when the old man left, he was extremely frivolous, and he was not affected by the cardboard boxes and stacks of books on the ground in the slightest. The old man was tugging on a pair of old cloth shoes, and Govin noticed that his cloth shoes were not properly worn, and the old man's feet were on the back. Pulling and walking, chic and casual.

"Boy, remember me?" The old man smiled and handed over his right hand.

The old man in front of him, who smiled a little like the movie actor Liang Tian in his previous life, turned out to be Mr. Xiao Qian!

Govin hurriedly shook the somewhat swollen hand in front of him.

Of course he remembered Mr. Xiao Qian. In the place where he crossed, when he fooled around with Lin Yiming at Fudan University, he had listened to Mr. Xiao Qian's lectures, and he also had face-to-face exchanges with Mr. Xiao Qian, Hua Luogeng, Su Buqing and other old gentlemen at the home of Fudan University professor Hangjian.

"Remember! Of course I do! Ge Wen's voice was a little apprehensive, he didn't expect that the mysterious person in Long Shao's mouth would be Mr. Xiao Qian.

Xiao Qian, one of the most famous journalists in modern Chinese history, was the only Chinese war correspondent in the entire European theater during World War II. At the same time, he is also a full-bodied writer. Leaving aside his early creative career for the time being, he still maintained his strong creative desire after the cultural-great-revolution, when so many old writers were in a slump, and he was one of the most influential and dynamic contemporary Chinese writers in the 70s and 80s and even the first half of the 90s of the 20th century.

Gewen still clearly remembers what Ba Lao once said when talking about contemporary Chinese writers, "I admire the talents of these people, one is Cao Yu, the other is Shen Congwen, and the other is Xiao Qian, I am ashamed that I am inferior to them." The talent is several times worse. This is naturally Ba Lao's modesty, but it also reflects Mr. Xiao Qian's artistic talent from the side.

Yes, Mr. Xiao Qian is also a famous translator, someone once commented on him, "Xiao Qian regards the title of writer as very important, in fact, as a translator, his achievements are more outstanding than that of writers, although he himself values writers more......"

By the way, the critics who once fought with Govin also have their origins with Mr. Xiao Qian, who is the initiator and earliest practitioner of Chinese book criticism, as well as the initiator and earliest practitioner of Chinese literary awards.

"Haha......" Ge Wencheng's frightened look made Xiao Qian laugh heartily, "Sit, sit down." I'm messy here, don't mind, Xiaoge. ”

"It's okay."

Seeing Govin sitting down on the sofa, Xiao Qian sat casually on a pile of books, "Are you curious why I came to you?" ”

"Yes...... Somewhat. Govyn scratched his head.

"Boy, didn't I say you, didn't your master let you visit some old-timers before you came to Beijing?" Xiao Qian reproached with some affection.

"Yes...... But I haven't ...... yet" Hearing Xiao Gan's words, Ge Wen was a little ashamed, before coming to Beijing, Ba Lao specially asked Sister Li to call him over, that is, he specifically told Ge Wen to visit several old-timers in the literary world when he went to Beijing, such as Bingxin, Shen Congwen, Cao Yu, Ji Xianlin and others, and Xiao Qian was also one of them. It's just that when I came to Beijing, I was busy watching the military parade and visiting Beijing, and I really didn't think of visiting my predecessors.

"Hmph, young man, I'm going to talk about you, you must have priorities in doing things. Chinese Since ancient times, you have been paying attention to respecting teachers, respecting morality, righteousness, and honesty, but you are a disciple of Ba Lao, and when you arrive in Beijing, you don't go to visit your master's old friend first, but you play all day long, and this is spread out to others how to see it......"

Xiao Qian's earnest words made Gowen's face blush terribly, usually he was sharp-tongued, but at this moment, he could only obediently listen to the old man's words, and he didn't even dare to move.

"Okay, let's stop talking." Perhaps seeing that Govin was uncomfortable, Xiao Qian stopped.

Hearing Xiao Gan's words, Ge Wen took a long breath, raised his head, and saw that Mr. Xiao Qian was looking at him with a smile.

Ge Wen was startled, and then he heard Xiao Qian say with a smile, "Old Ba said that he knew an excellent young man, said that this young man's talent is very good, and what is even more rare is that he has a pure heart. I originally thought that Ba Lao was a bit exaggerated, but after reading your article, I realized that you are better than what Ba Lao said......"

"No more......" Xiao Qian had just beaten a stick, and now he handed over another piece of candy, so that Gowen didn't know what to say.

"Haha, it's not good for a young man to be too modest......" Xiao Qian waved his hand to interrupt Gowen's politeness, and then continued, "Do you know what I admire about you the most? ”

Without waiting for Govyn to answer, the old man said to himself, "I think the best thing you can do is to be able to think independently!" This should be the most fundamental reason why you can write an article like "Developing China Needs to Pay Attention to the Value of Individual Life". ”

"Yes, what distinguishes humans from animals is that they are able to think for themselves. Without independent thinking, Marx and Engels blindly followed Hegel and Feuerbach, and there would be no dialectical materialism. Without independent thinking, it is equivalent to swallowing raw fish and raw meat without cooking and chewing, not only can it not be turned into nutrition, but it will definitely cause indigestion. So no matter what you do in the future, you must keep this spirit of independent thinking alive! ”

The old man's step-by-step teachings made Gowen nod his head involuntarily.

Xiao Qian and Ba Lao are two completely different old men. The older Ba Lao is gentle, calm, kind, and amiable, and speaks softly and amiably; However, the old Mr. Xiao Qian in front of him was polite and polite, speaking straightforwardly and heartily, and his speech and demeanor made Govin feel that he had a bit of an English gentleman's demeanor.

(To be continued.) )

ps: Mr. Xiao Qian has not worked in Joint Bookstore, this is fiction.

At that time, this batch of old-timers in the literary world was a mark that could not be ignored in the 80s, and Ba Lao has been described before, I don't know if everyone is satisfied with the image of Mr. Xiao Qian? I consulted a lot of information and wrote for a long time.
