After getting Gowen's assurance, a reluctant smile appeared on the corner of Ba Jin's mouth, and then looked at Gowen and said seriously: ""Bright Sword" is very good, it is an excellent work, and I think it will definitely have a place in the next Mao Dun Literature Award." Govyn, I'm proud to have a disciple like you! ”

"Huh?" was praised by Ba Lao, but Govin was a little blind.

Showing the manuscript of "Bright Sword" to Ba Lao, on the one hand, the old man wanted to see Gowen's new work.

On the other hand, Govin really wanted Ba Lao to read this book, to find out his own creative shortcomings, and to ask Ba Lao to help him review his own judgment - whether the current environment would accommodate the depiction of buzzing reflection and Kuomintang merits like "Bright Sword".

Gewen didn't expect that Ba Lao would give such a high evaluation of "Bright Sword", and he also personally confirmed his identity as a disciple.

This was the first time that the old man had admitted that he was his disciple in such a serious tone!

In the past, when he occasionally joked, the old man would make such jokes, but Govin never dared to take it seriously, although he had long regarded Ba Lao as a mentor in his heart.

Ba Lao has recognized me as an apprentice!

Gowen's heart is like a roller coaster, ups and downs, and his mood is difficult for a long time.

"In the past few years, I have been writing Caprice intermittently, and many people have persuaded me that it is okay, it is enough to write some, the disaster is over, we must focus on the future, and the future is bright...... Hehe...... In fact, for the catastrophe of those ten years, each of us is actually not innocent! Many people simply put all the blame for the persecution they have suffered in the past on the 'sirenbang', thinking that smashing the 'sirenbang' will solve all the problems. Such a perception is problematic and wrong! The malignant power and influence of the Cultural Revolution will not disappear with its end...... As an intellectual with a conscience, as a former witness, it is necessary for us to make our own introspection, not for anything else, that is, for the sake of future generations not to suffer such a disaster, that is, to give some warnings and admonitions to future generations, we must also leave something! This is not a matter for any one person, and we all have a responsibility to let our children and grandchildren, and future generations, remember the painful lessons of the past ten years. ”

Ba Jin's gaze moved away from Govin's body, drifting away aimlessly, his tone unexpectedly calm and calm, and there was no sign of his previous gaffe.

But when his gaze drifts back to the magnolia tree again, when the green tendons of his right hand propped up on the cane burst out, you will feel that the old man's heart is still turbulent at this moment, still under blood and tears.

"Ba Lao, shall we go back and rest and talk again?" Govin tried to help Ba Lao back with his arms.

Ba Jin didn't move, he withdrew his gaze from looking at the magnolia tree, and continued: "So I will be very pleased with the emergence of scar literature. I will be very happy when I watch the straightforward "Bright Sword". I'm old, and I don't have the energy and ability to write novels or novels except for some small articles, but you are still young, you have energy, talent, and time. It's good that you can write a reflection on the Cultural Revolution, really good! This means that the young generation like you have begun to think independently and no longer blindly obey, and can break free from the shackles of thought without being afraid, which is truly fulfilling the historical responsibility that an intellectual should fulfill! It's really good that you're able to do that! ”

Ba Lao's words of anticipation suddenly reminded Govin of the chairman's words-

The world is yours and ours, but ultimately yours is yours. You young people are full of vigor and are in their prime, like the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning. Hope is in you.

For some reason, Govin was suddenly a little moved, and the old man's ardent expectation and burning eyes made him extremely moved.

It has been said that the vast majority of our people, when a political movement arrives, collectively kneel down and say: I repent! At the end of that movement, they collectively stood up with their heads held high and said: I complain.

However, Pa Lao is different!

His merit lies in the fact that after ten years of the Holocaust, he knelt down and said, "I repent." He repented because at the beginning of that movement, he also knelt down with the group and said: I repent!

His merit lies in the courage to dissect himself and use his own example to encourage young people to speak the truth and pursue the truth!

This is the conscience of China in the 20th century, which is recognized by everyone!

Finally calming down his inner emotions, Govin took a deep breath and asked, "So, Ba Lao, do you think the buzzing part of "Bright Sword" should be written?" ”

"To write, facts are facts, and the party and the state have admitted that the Cultural Revolution is a political-error, and what cannot be written! History is made by people, and mistakes are inevitable. From ancient times to the present, no dynasty has been flawless. When a tragedy has already happened, the only thing we can do is to prevent it from happening again. It doesn't matter if you make a mistake. Only by remembering history and lessons can we avoid repeating the mistakes of the past and can we carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future. Ba Lao's tone was categorical.

"What do you think of the description of the Kuomintang in "Bright Sword"?"

"There is no problem, the pursuit of facts, the pursuit of truth, is always right! "Bright Sword", which subverts the non-objective role of the Kuomintang in the previous anti-Japanese theme, in which the Kuomintang is all troublemakers and even aids and abets abuse, can also be said to be a kind of chaos and rectification, which is also true. ”
