Chapter 164: Govin vs Critics
In the face of Gowen's questioning, Chen Guanyu fell silent all of a sudden, did not respond to the article, and refused to accept media interviews, as if the matter had stopped here, and the battle ended with Gowen's complete victory. This section consists of:
But then things took a turn for the worse.
While Gewen's comment slapped Chen Guanyu hard, it also slapped the critics in the face.
Because the object of criticism in several of his comments is not limited to Chen Guanyu alone, the most critical point is that there are many critics who criticize science fiction in the critics, and the objects of criticism in Govin's articles are also "a so-called literary critic...", "some predecessors..." In particular, he also wrote, "Looking at the Chinese literary criticism circles, the characteristics and strengths of some people are: 1: I don't know what others say. 2: I don't know what to do. 3: I don't know what to do. β¦β
Although Govin has identified himself as a minority of commentators, his evaluation of the critics and his ridicule of the critics still made many critics jump out as if they had been stepped on by the tail and stood up to fight back against Govin.
So a Chen Guanyu fell, and countless Chen Guanyu jumped out again.
On January 29, 1984, a critic named Duan Daxi wrote an article in the "Literature and Art Report", in which Duan Daxi avoided talking about the three questions that Govern questioned Chen Guanyu, nor did he evaluate the rights and wrongs of Govern and Chen Guanyu.
Duan Daxi wrote,
Literary arguments are understandable, but the use of such dirty foul language to insult the other side is beyond the scope of literary arguments, and it seems very abnormal. Where is this talking about literature? Where is the dialogue, it is clear that the axe gang members are running amok.
From the point of view of the controversy itself, the events have crossed the boundaries of literature itself. It has nothing to do with literature anymore.
On January 30, critic Chen Feng published an article "Chen Guanyu: The Nanny of Literature" in the "Wanxi Daily", which argued: "Chen Guanyu has the style of an elder" If Lu Xun is replaced, it is likely to be "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth"............ Comrade Chen Guanyu has always paid attention to the growth of newcomers in the literary world, and has always escorted young writers. It's just a matter of not being grateful for the virtue, "there are people who repay virtue with grievances..............."
On January 31, Comrade Ba Yi, a well-known critic of Yangcheng Evening News and a writer with extensive influence in the readership, wrote an interview article entitled "Some Problems Behind the "Ge Chen Controversy"".
Chen Guanyu is a literary critic recognized in the literary world and even in society, and what we lack in our current literary world is a critic who is willing to stand up and tell the truth. What kind of critic is a critic if he doesn't criticize? Once a literary work is published, it should be subject to public scrutiny.
If everyone blindly follows the author, blindly says good things, and blindly smears the mud, it will inevitably cause more people who are so careless and self-righteous "literary geniuses" to be so arrogant, so delicate, and so unable to withstand criticism.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you are a genius, you have to let people talk irresponsible and allow others to criticize. Cao Xueqin, Lu Xun, Tolstoy, Kafka, Dostoevsky......... With such a world-recognized literary giant, there are still people criticizing and discussing, can't others comment on this young man who thinks he is a "genius..."? If someone else comments on it, you have to endure such a nasty and vicious abuse? If this trend is not stopped, what kind of literary world will such a "young genius..."ten hundred more" Chinese literary circles be? What kind of literature will Chinese literature be?
Song Jianguo, a writer of pure literature, said in an interview: "How can such behavior be like the Red Soldiers during the Cultural Revolution? This is a very bad practice! Chen Guanyu just criticized you for the impure purpose of Gowen's article, you viciously collected evidence like this, and listed it one, two, three, four, we were like this during the "Cultural Revolution" in the past, and we didn't allow others to speak, and many people died at that time. β
In just three or four days, "in various newspapers and magazines, the voices of critics were in the dust, and every one of them was a question of Gowen," and every one of them was a criticism of Gowen.
And this situation also made Gowen, who had already been a little more comfortable, angry again, and since he began to publish articles on the public Liu Wu, he has been at odds with the critics. At the beginning, his "Developing China Needs to Pay Attention to the Value of Individual Life" published in the "Yangcheng Evening News" was criticized by almost the entire canonical theory, the most important of which was the critics: his poetic theory "The Rising Poetry Group" has been "still attacked by the critics: as well as "Taoist Tower", "2012" and so on are all criticized by the critics.
Long ago, Govin was dissatisfied with what is now called a critic, and many people who don't even have a university degree can you expect him to have a deep understanding of modern history? Can you expect them to pay attention to the latest scientific and technological achievements in China and the world? Can you have something to look forward to in the eyes of these people?
It's not your fault that you're ugly, but it's your fault to jump out and be scary
The most important point is that the criticism method and criticism that the current critics insist on are still a single and closed means of criticism inherited from the Cultural Revolution, which is mechanical and unscientific
When the entire literary world is actively absorbing the nutrients and knowledge that can be absorbed, and when all writers begin to explore new writing techniques and ideas, the critics are resting on their laurels and do not seek to improve.
Reform literature appeared, and they used the critical methods of the past to comment: stream of consciousness novels appeared, and they used the critical methods of the past to comment: post-New Wave novels, neo-realist literature.........,... They all came out, and they even used the mechanical, Japanese-minded criticism methods of the past
Not only do they not feel ashamed of this, but they are always triumphant, what kind of cover is this?
What a kind of conservatism and stubbornness
How can such a comment, such a critic conquer so many authors, and how can I be convinced
A bunch of clowns
"Say to the world, what is bright and falling" Okay, I have to admit that after seeing Mr. Chen Feng's article, I was startled, my eyes moistened, I felt that I had done a very bad job, and I regretted it, so I immediately called my friend, and my friend said that Chen Guanyu is alive and well.
This is Mr. Chen's mistake, Comrade Chen Guanyu is obviously still alive, why did you write a eulogy to someone.
Isn't it just a blow to a friend, saying good things for a friend, who wouldn't, as another big critic, you have a little point of view.
Comrade Chen Guanyu suddenly died down because he was used to criticizing others, so he could not stand others criticizing him, and he did not need to sympathize at all.
People are watching the sky, everyone is responsible for their own behavior, don't play if you can't afford it, play with the yin, play it sooner or later.
In the past few days, I have received letters from such enthusiastic readers, and I was surprised to find that Comrade Chen Guanyu was even more brittle and dirty than I had imagined. In this era of striding forward, we must be serious and responsible in doing things, and we must be honest and upright, but unfortunately, he did not give any explanation for the bad things he did, but found a group of people to help, this set of the Cultural Revolution is very uncultivated.
You learned literature, and you were discovered by the majority of the people, and your parents, you even thought about literature, it was too ruthless. Don't think that if you have a few more literatures, literature will be yours. Because anyone can do it, so, the public's. It's for all the public.
Those who like to assert obscenity, those who accept money from people to talk about people, those who accept money from ghosts and talk nonsense, and those who can't even figure out the facts and can still make comments, the literary critics who hinder the exhibition are all that they should say.
I have seen some remarks made by the writer and critic Comrade Ba Yi, in fact, I wonder why a writer does not put a promising writing career into it, but runs to make some comments. Is it like imagining football, where you can commit fouls and enforce the law at the same time? My mind is not pure, sin, sin
A writer who seems to be responsible, speaking is really like writing a novel, he doesn't even know the ins and outs of things, he hasn't done his homework well, and he is provoked by reporters, so he jumps out in a hurry, it's too stupid, remember, listen, this is a debate about whether critics are clean and whether science fiction is a work or not, not an elder teaching younger generations.
Of course, Chen Guanyu can criticize me, but please don't slander maliciously, what is seeing the best-selling science fiction novels and want to get involved and want to pan for gold?
Does he still have a little concept of time, "The Country Teacher" was published in the creation of Liu in the month of 0 years, as far as I know, as early as the month of Yo Nian, it seems that there is no science fiction in the entire Chinese period Liu Jie published publicly, right?
Chen Guanyu is a critic who tells the truth. His work ethic is not unknown to us.
If the socially recognized literary critics are so moral, it is really a misfortune for our Chinese literary circles.
I would like to thank Comrade Ba Yi for his compliments to me in his interview, but I would also like to say to you that I am not a vagrant as you say, and I am not an editorial debut.
Although there are some suspicions of Wang Po selling melons, I still want to tell Comrade SΓΉ Bayi that "One Generation" is the first work of my debut, and that hazy poem seems to have aroused heated discussions among many readers, making me appear in front of the public.
Seeking truth from facts has always been a principle adhered to by our country, and honesty and trustworthiness are also the fine traditions of our Chinese nation. Chen Guanyu maliciously slandered, and Comrade Ba Yi completely fabricated my resume.
Is it okay not to be like this, isn't the least respect for people honest?
Perhaps this also shows that some writers have begun to get used to telling nonsense with their eyes closed.
This kind of attitude that is not pragmatic and sincere is very terrible. (To be continued.)
