Chapter 166: Gluttonous Feast
A theoretical article of more than 40,000 words is indeed rather tedious for general reading. Yes, because of the factors of the times, everyone is now extremely thirsty for books and knowledge, but the number of ordinary readers who can read this dry article that occupies a page is still extremely limited.
But fortunately, Govin had already explained before the beginning that this was not an article for them to read, so after everyone looked at the beginning a few times and felt that it was not interesting, they turned their attention to the other articles of Deputy Liu of "Wen Wei Po".
It is not unacceptable for them to read less of one of Gowen's articles in these days
But for writers in the literary world, and for the entire literary criticism community, the value of this article is really incomparable.
An earthquake began
The exposition in Gowen's theoretical article is very clear, that is, he believes that the current theories of the critics lag behind the development of the literary world, and will soon become a kind of shackle in the literary world. Then Govin put forward what he thought was the direction and breakthrough point for the development of literary criticism.
Most writers in the literary world basically praise his article, perhaps they do not think that the development path of literary criticism studied by Govin is correct, but the conservatism of the critics is indeed a real situation, and it is very commendable that Govin can keenly ask such a question.
The critics are divided.
Young commentators and open-minded critics can't help but look back on the current state of criticism in the past two years after reading Gowen's article.
Then they found that, as Govin wrote, when all fields of the literary world are fully absorbing the excellent experience of the West, striving to innovate, and trying to create better works that can win the love of readers, most literary criticism is indeed still continuing the thinking of the past, and compared with the literary world that is developing by leaps and bounds now, the criticism field is indeed a little backward
Many people were shocked into a cold sweat, not all critics are like Chen Guanyu who sells dog meat on sheep's heads, not all critics like Chen Feng and Ba Yi like to engage in small circles and small actions, and the reason why most critics are engaged in literary criticism is that in addition to the pressure of life, they are more interested in literature.
A new generation of young critics began to accept the views of Gowen's theoretical article, and those enlightened critics also began to reflect and explore, so that the discussion and research of new theories of literary criticism began to appear in the critics' circles, and those books of literary criticism that had been translated into China were also picked up and examined, and they really played their role.
And those who are stubbornly conservative and grew up before and during the Cultural Revolution are finally angry.
Gowen's previous ridicule of the critics, maybe everyone saw that he was still a hairy boy, or maybe he was only targeting Chen Guanyu, and the others were not named, and it was none of their business, this is a kind of inertia formed by many people who have experienced ten years of turmoil, but now it is different, Gowen is not targeting Chen Guanyu and Li Guanyu this time, he is targeting the entire critics, he is trying to cause a split in the critics
This hairy boy has a big appetite
It's really tolerable and intolerable
As if they had been stepped on by the tail, the critics jumped out one after another to criticize Gowen.
For them, the stability and comfort of the current critics make many people extremely nostalgic, who is willing to give up this comfort?
Besides, what is the influence of the shadow of the government? The current theory of literary criticism has been going on for decades, if it is wrong, how can it be that there has been no change in these decades, and you want to come out and point fingers?
As a result, in China's largest literary criticism magazine, Literary Review, critics who agree with Govwin's views and critics who oppose Govern's views are in a mess.
In the face of this question of life and death in the critics' circles, every critic has no time to think about it, what hazy poetry is the gravedigger of modern poetry, what science fiction is a popular science work, and it is unscientific to classify science fiction into the literary world............
They have forgotten about it.
To be honest, the public, and the vast majority of readers, were not attracted by the sudden theoretical confrontation in the critics' circles, just as they found a theoretical article by Govin in the February issue of Wen Wei Po, which looked like a headache, and they didn't bother to pay attention to it.
What's the big deal about reading less of an article and paying less attention to an argument, besides, we really can't care about it now
On February 1, 1984, the latest issue of Liu Magazine began to be placed on the counters of bookstalls and bookstores, and then all the readers were extremely excited to discover one thing
Many of Gowen's novels were found in these magazines and even newspapers
It's the happiest thing ever.
Isn't a reader, a reader, a reader?
What could be better for them than to see the work of many of their favorite authors?
"Reading", which only published one issue of the magazine, gathered a considerable number of die-hard readers because of the "Reading Without Forbidden Zone", "Rural Teacher", and "Towards Modernity" published in the inaugural issue.
So when the second issue of Reading magazine came out, readers who had a good impression of this magazine, which was different from ordinary periodicals, picked up the magazine as soon as possible, and sure enough, Reading did not disappoint them, and they found the surprise again.
This issue of "Reading" also serialized a series of articles on the rise of great powers by Govyn, and not only that, in addition to this article called "Industrial Pioneer", this issue of the magazine also featured another work by Govyn, a new science fiction novel
This science fiction novel, called "The Sun of China", made countless readers really stop for the first time, raise their heads to look up at the sky, and imagine the vast universe.
No one knows how far the Chinese sun will fly, what kind of magical world they will see, and maybe one day they will make a call to the earth, and it will take thousands of years to get an echo. But the surname Shui will always remember a country called China on the mother planet, a small village in an arid land in the western part of that country, and remember that the path in front of the village from where he started.
Although there are still white clouds in the sky, many people seem to see the vast universe, and there is a solar sailboat floating in the brilliant starry sky
Yes, this "Chinese Sun" is the novel of the same name that was born from the later Chinese science fiction writer Liu Xinci.
It also depicts the story of Shuiwa, the son of a farmer in northwest China, who leaves a mountain village and slowly becomes an astronaut, to illustrate the importance of the never-ending spirit of exploration
And it is this "Chinese Sun" that makes countless Chinese sci-fi fans extremely excited, because they are familiar with this "Chinese Sun".
Isn't this the sci-fi film called "Little Sun" that China made in the mid-fifties?
Many, many sci-fi fans who fell in love with sci-fi because of a sci-fi movie they saw when they were children came to their senses.
Filmed in the fifties, the science fiction movie "Little Sun" is China's first science fiction movie, and it is this science fiction movie with beautiful colors and fresh style that has made countless immature teenagers grow into science fiction lovers and fall in love with science fiction.
It's really nostalgic
However, compared with children's science fiction films like "Little Sun", the hearty plot of Govine's "Chinese Sun" made them even more intoxicated.
Even though he will not be able to return to Earth, Shui Shimi, who embarked on a journey in pursuit of the romance of sailing to the universe, said to the world: "The Chinese sun flying out of the solar system will make the pleasure of human beings look up to the stars again, reawaken their dreams of cosmic voyages, and rekindle their desire to go on interstellar exploration." ”
Looking at the lead words of "China Sun" in "Reading" magazine, Govin also muttered to himself: "I hope that "China Sun" can make readers accept science fiction and recall their pursuit of the universe and dreams!" ”
In addition to "China Sun" in "Reading" and "Harvest" in February, Liu Deng Deng wrote Gowen's novella "Red China".
"Red China" is a story about the science fiction workers of the military during the Cultural Revolution who insisted on exploring alien civilizations while accepting criticism.
In this novel, Govin calmly describes the great loss of the Cultural Revolution to Chinese society and the Chinese scientific community, the vivid Cultural Revolution martial arts have reminded countless readers of the sad years in the past, and the use of alien civilizations to criticize the Cultural Revolution has also made a group of readers crazy.
At the same time, the absolute sober reflection and sense of responsibility for history displayed in the novel have also made a number of pure literary writers sigh to themselves.
This is the unique artistic charm of science fiction! Some pure literary writers sighed like this.
The "Reader" in Gansu published Gowen's "Survival Trial".
This story is about a group of children on an unknown planet whose mother, under the care of a mother, intensively trains themselves to adapt more quickly to the harsh natural environment outside the greenhouse.
The idea of this story is simple, nothing more than that the earth's environment is uninhabitable, and the adventure of everyone finding a habitat on a new planet is easy to understand for readers of all levels. However, Govin focuses on the human nature in the process of survival, whether it is the conflict between children, solidarity, mutual assistance, or their misunderstanding of the mother, all of which truly reflect the emotional response of human beings as independent individuals in different situations.
In addition, there are "Song of Life" in "Folk Literature", "Earth Fire" in "Yangcheng Evening News", "Chaowendao" in Jiefang Daily, and "Judge" in Wen Wei Po...... Well, everyone had to admit that Govin was talented, everyone had to admit it
It's a feast for Govyn
It's a carnival about science fiction
And this is also the most powerful counterattack to the critics, the scientific community, and the popular science circles insisting that science fiction is a popular science work
