Chapter 308: Lu Xinhua Recommends "Bright Sword"

China National Radio is the only radio station in China that covers the whole country, with more than 700 million listeners in China, making it the radio station with the largest number of domestic listeners in the world.

The Central People's Broadcasting Station has more than a dozen sets of radio channels, and among these channels, the "Voice of Literature and Art" channel takes "language and art programs" as the main content and "storytelling" as the characteristic of the typed frequency. Every day, this channel broadcasts a large number of literary and artistic programs with Chinese characteristics, such as storytelling, long-form continuous broadcasts, cross talk, sketches and jokes, etc., which are different in form and rich in content, showing the charm of Chinese and Chinese culture, and have always been deeply loved by the audience.

In 1984, the National Day special gift program "The Rise of a Great Power" of the Central People's Radio not only premiered on the "Voice of China" channel, but also rebroadcast on the "Voice of Literature and Art" channel.

If you ask these literature lovers who like literature to evaluate what is the favorite program of the "Voice of Literature and Art" channel? I believe that the "Reading Club", which is played on time at eight o'clock every night, is definitely one of them.

In the "Reading Club", the host of each episode invites some celebrities from various fields to share a book or article they like. These celebrities will tell their listeners why they love the book or the article, as well as some of the classic passages from the book or article, and the strength they draw from what they have learned from the book.

In the program "Reading Club", listeners and friends can feel the love, happiness, charm, hard work, struggle, pain, sadness or humor that they have brought to the sharer.

This program has invited countless celebrities with surnames, Hua Luogeng, Chen Jingrun, Mao Yisheng, and Sanqian in the scientific community have all been on this program, Mao Dun, Bingxin, Wang Meng have also been on this program, General Chen X has been on it, Minister He has been on it, Xie Jin, Wu Yigong, Shen Danping, Shi Jianlan, Zhang Fengyi and other literary and artistic figures have been on it, Ma Sanli, Hou Yaowen and other masters in the cross talk world have also been on it, as for countless masters and experts and scholars in other fields.

Some of these celebrities have shared Lu Xun's "The Scream", Yu Dafu's "Sinking", some have read Qian Zhongshu's "The Siege of the City", Cao Xueqin's "Dream of Red Mansions", some have a soft spot for Marx's "Capital" and Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations", some have praised Stanislavsky's "Self-cultivation of Actors", and some have praised T.R. Malthus's "Population Principle".

The main attraction of this show for a wide audience is that you never know who the next celebrity to share their favorite book will be, what kind of expert will be in the field, and what kind of story will be shared by the person facing the microphone - maybe about politics and war, maybe about love and friendship, maybe just a humorous joke, maybe just a tear-jerking inspirational story.

Here, the listener and the sharer return to a moment in the text, moving, laughing or crying.

And today, when the listeners heard the presenter introduced by the host on the radio, many listeners covered their mouths in surprise, or involuntarily muttered and repeated the name of the host.

Lu Xinhua!

If you don't live in this era, you won't know what this name represents!

In early 1978, Lu Xinhua, a 24-year-old first-year freshman in the Chinese Department of Fudan University, wrote his first novel, "Scars."

On August 11, 1978, Wen Wei Po published a full-page novel "Scars". The newspaper was sold out that day, and the print run eventually reached 1.5 million copies.

Overnight, the name "Lu Xinhua" became well-known to the Chinese people, and the word "scar" soon became the name of a literary trend, and "scar literature" was also developed and named through this novel.

In the era that has just ended, almost everyone seems to have experienced an unbearable nightmare.

They can't wait to talk and express themselves everywhere. They are emotionally agitated, emotionally intense, hysterical about the sufferings of the past years, the tragic turns of life, ugliness, mutual deception, dumping, mutual exploitation, betrayal and fooling.

So they will cry for "Scars", and everyone is saddened by the tragic experience of Wang Xiaohua, the protagonist of the novel. In fact, this is all catharsis for their own misfortune. Many people's psychological wounds were comforted and healed by Lu Xinhua's "Scars"!

It can be said that Lu Xinhua has been their spokesperson for a long time, and he is a popular figure in the whole Chinese literary circle.

Now Lu Xinhua is actually on the "Reading Club"!

Surprised, unexpected, surprised, curious.

All kinds of emotions permeated the hearts of every listener who listened to the radio.

The gentle voice of the male host on the radio continued: "Xinhua, I think many listeners who are listening to the radio now want to know your current situation, can you tell me?" Speaking of which, you have been absent from public for a long time. ”

"I'm now working as a reporter at Wen Wei Po." A gentle voice belonging to a middle-aged man came over the radio.

"Are you still engaged in literature? At the beginning, your "Scars" brought readers and friends a lot of touch! The moderator asked.

"Nope." Lu Xinhua replied.

"Why? "Scars" is so good? The moderator continued to ask.

"This ...... In fact, I have always believed that "Scars" in the true sense was not written by me, but a work completed by thousands of Chinese with their suffering, blood and tears, and life experiences in the buzz. The sensation of "Scars" was the result of fate, and fortunately, fate chose me to write it. Lu Xinhua hesitated for a moment and replied calmly.

“…… You are too modest! By the way, what kind of book are you sharing with you this time? ”

"Hehe, if it's a book, it's not quite accurate. What I'm sharing this time is actually a novel serialized in a magazine. ”

During the broadcast, Lu Xinhua seemed to be selling off, deliberately arousing the interest of the audience.

And hearing this, the listeners who were listening to the radio were also curious.

"A serialized novel? Is that the magazine you have in your hand? The host of the show voiced the questions of the audience.

"That's right, this novel is still in the process of being serialized, and it has just begun, but I have had the privilege of witnessing the manuscript of this novel with my own eyes, and it is really wonderful!"

On the radio, Lu Xinhua seemed to have just revisited the manuscript in his words, and then emphasized: "Very exciting! ”

"Well, according to the requirements of the show, you are now going to tell everyone the name of this novel that is still being serialized, and why do you recommend this novel?"

"Speaking of the author of this novel, it is estimated that most listeners know that the name of this novel is "Bright Sword", and the author of the novel is Govyn."

"Ah, is it Govyn from "The Rise of Great Powers"?"

"Hehe, I'm not wrong! Sure enough, when it comes to Gowen, everyone knows it. ”

"So...... Is Govyn writing a new novel again? ”

The host's voice, which has always remained calm, unexpectedly revealed a hint of surprise, speaking of which, this is also a fan of Gowen.

And the listeners in front of the radio and before the radio were also shaken.

As loyal listeners of the "Voice of Literature and Art" channel of the Central People's Radio, many people naturally like to read, literature, culture, and art. The reason why many people listen to the program "Reading Club" is that on the one hand, they like the reading stories told by celebrities, and on the other hand, they also hope to buy some books they are interested in by listening to the program. After all, people are not very wealthy, and there are more and more books on the market now, which is a good way for listeners with difficulty in choosing, and the books recommended by celebrities will not be far behind.

"Well, this "Bright Sword" is a new work created by Comrade Gowen, and it has already been written. However, at present, the book should not be published, and it is only serialized in this "Fellow" magazine. In the radio hall of the Central People's Radio, Lu Xinhua handed the magazine in his hand to the host who had been eager to try, and then explained.

"It's a new magazine!" On the radio, the sound of the presenter flipping through the pages of a magazine was heard from the microphone throughout China.

"That's right."

"Can you tell us why you recommend this book?"

"Many people know me because of the original "Scars" novel, I remember that after "Scars" was published, there were many articles saying that it broke through this forbidden area, broke through that forbidden area, and some great theorists in the literary world like Chen Huangmei and Wang Chaowen said that "Scars" broke a lot of shackles. In fact, what I want to say is that I haven't actually made any breakthroughs myself. The breakthrough they saw was from the perspective of the history of the buzz, and nothing could be written during that period, so it emphasized the three outstanding ah, the tall and the complete, and it had long become an eight-strand text, in that case, "Scars" naturally broke through everything, the forbidden area of love, the forbidden area of tragedy, and the reflection on the buzz ......"

Lu Xinhua's voice was very steady, and he commented on his "Scars", which surprised all the listeners in front of the tape recorder.

"In fact, twenty years earlier, or seven years later, for example, now, I have no breakthrough at all, compared with those great writers, "Scars" is very immature, and its tone is basically a kind of expression of resentment and grievances, from the perspective of artistic content and artistic aesthetics, "Scars" does not deserve such high praise."

Lu Xinhua's voice continued on the radio.

"Actually, it wasn't that long ago that I really saw the gap between myself and those big writers. Although "Scars" also shows the negation and critical consciousness of the ultra-left line and policy, when it comes to personal experience and emotion, the novel is full of pathos because it focuses too much on the catharsis of emotions, which is indeed not commendable. ”

"Comrade Govyn's "Bright Sword" also wrote about buzzing, but he not only wrote about the great disaster of the motherland in the ****, not only about the decline of moral conscience in the tragic era, not only about the humiliation and destruction of youth and life in an extraordinary period, he also wrote about the care for human nature, he also wrote about the profound exploration of human nature, and he also wrote about the call for human dignity, value and rights!"

"That's remarkable!"

"I think he is the best writer of the young generation in the Chinese literary circle!"

"Not one of them!"

……

……

That, I haven't written it for a few days, my train of thought is a little interrupted, and I thought about it for a long time to finish it, and this chapter is on Monday.

Last week, there was a four-day break from Thursday to Sunday, and the four watches were owed, and it will be made up this week.

Finally, thank you for your tolerance.

The rebel bowed in thanks. (To be continued.) )
