Chapter 145: The Birth of a Prefix
Zheng Wenguang's earnest letter made Govin see the image of a fiery fist and dedicating his life to science fiction
For Zheng Wenguang, Gewen felt happy admiration, and he said that his own affairs also made Gewen have a serious decision in his heart
That is, he will not give up the creation of science fiction in this form
Govern has never been an emotional person, but when he heard Lan Mao's confession, seeing Zheng Wenguang's letter dictated by his wife made Govern's heart deeply shocked and moved. (Reading the novel, it is like Ye Zi You's love, he was only moved when he was accompanied by Ba Jin, and only moved in the lecture hall of Fudan University.)
Govin folded the letter paper in his hand and stuffed it back into the envelope, solemnly put it together with the "Reading" magazine sent by Gan Xin, for him, this is a very important collection, its significance is no less than a handwritten book given to him by Ba Jin, and it is no less than the red stamp of the motherland that was once found in the editorial office of "Harvest".
What's in the letter? Gan Xin interjected. When she saw Govine's solemn appearance, she couldn't help but have a fierce curiosity.
It's nothing, it's just that Comrade Zheng Wenguang saw that "Rural Teacher" was well written, and specially wrote a letter to congratulate him. Govin said lightly.
Gan Xin saw that Govin didn't seem to want to speak, so she couldn't help but pout and turn her head.
Attracted by the comments brought by Gan Xin, Govin once again developed the habit of checking comments on his own articles.
So he went to Ba Jin's house early the next morning, and after refilling a cup of hot tea for Ba Jin, he did not return to his desk to study or write as usual, but moved a chair and sat down at Ba Jin's desk, picked up the newspaper that Ba Jin had read, and read it.
And Ba Jin was also surprised to see that Govin was unusual, but this did not affect Ba Jin's reading, and the old man devoted himself to reading again after a distraction.
After half a decade of precipitation, Liu Shang's comments on "The Village Teacher" have become more and more numerous, and it is no longer the situation that was always criticized by the critics and some sinister people at the beginning.
This is exactly what happened to the newspaper in front of Gowen.
Much of the discussion about The Village Teacher in the newspaper he first saw was a reader's review of an official excerpt from the newspaper.
This year's China has an extremely strong thirst and desire for literature and art, so once an excellent work is published, it will cause a strong response and response. In 77, Liu Xinwu's scar literary work "Class Teacher" was published, such as the grass reform literary work "The Appointment of Director Qiao" published by Jiang Zilong in the year of coffee, and the same is true of Ah Chengdeng's "Chess King" on "Harvest".
And a series of works such as "One Generation", "Developing China Needs to Pay Attention to the Value of Individual Life", "Taoist Tower", the series of articles on the rise of great powers, and now this science fiction novel "The Country Teacher" can be called a sensational literary work even if it is placed in later generations, and it is really not unusual for it to arouse a fierce response from the public in this era of poor ideology and sparse culture.
No matter how hard the author tries to cater to the reader, it is impossible for any work to be unanimously praised, just like a play in Tisbia, there will always be a thousand images of Amlet in the eyes of a thousand audiences, and this "Country Teacher" is no exception, but it can arouse a warm response from readers, which actually shows the success of the work.
Gowen's gaze gathers comments on The Village Teacher
A reader named Su Canliang wrote in the letter that he had read a lot of science fiction novels, but only this most touching and plain text of "The Country Teacher" moved me to tears".
Another reader wrote that there are many articles like "The Country Teacher" that make people cry, but there are too few articles that can make everyone feel moved and deeply shocked, and the novel "The Country Teacher" is the best short story in the past five years, and I think it must be among the award-winning works of the 7th National Excellent Short Story".
A good sci-fi work is one that will allow you to look up at the stars on your way to work after a busy day. There is no doubt that Govyn's "The Village Teacher" has done just that, "a reader of the Shanghai Daily, and the choice of a lonely and weak life set against the backdrop of the grand world is really shocking...", commented a reader in the Beijing Evening News.
First of all, as a reader, I enjoyed reading Gowen's work because his articles were really good. This "Country Teacher" is a big surprise, with a tense rhythm and an attractive plot. The imagination is even more peculiar, and the boundless Wang Yang is like the sacredness and delicacy of Zhuangzi, "the strictness and atmosphere really make people almost suffocate", this is the column of one of the more famous writers of Wen Wei Po Deputy Liu.
However, there seems to be quite a few readers and commenters who oppose it.
Much of this commentary and discussion focuses on criticizing Gowen's description of the universe as utopian, and that such a situation is impossible in real life.
They sharply ridiculed Gowin's plot about an alien civilization that only a group of people had been selected to decide the fate of a planet, and said that it was not logical at all, and that it was simply nonsense
Govin didn't value these deliberately provocative remarks, and he was tired of the die-hard thinkers of the critics.
However, Govin soon discovered critical comments written by some people in the scientific and popular science circles.
Some scientists have criticized the alien civilization described in the article "The Village Teacher" from their professional direction, and they use known science and technology and scientific theories to refute Gowen's imagination, which cannot stand the test of facts, and is a deliberate distortion of science, which will cause readers to have wrong scientific understanding, which is extremely bad behavior
Seeing that these people actually regard science fiction as real data", and use it as scientific data to argue that Gowen really couldn't help laughing.
At this moment, Ba Jin, who was beside him, suddenly let out a surprise and straightened up from the back of the chair.
When Govin looked over, he saw Ba Jin staring at the newspaper in his hand with a stern face, reading it carefully.
Then, it didn't take long for Barjin to look at Govin with a frown, and through the thick lenses of his glasses, Govin could see a trace of worry.
Govin: Here's a review of "The Country Teacher" for you to take a look at. Ba Jin said as he handed over the newspaper in his hand, while he himself lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
When Govin took the newspaper and saw that it was today's "Jiefang Daily," he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart: official central newspapers such as "People's Daily," "Workers' Daily," and "Jiefang Daily" are generally not interested in ordinary matters, and their purpose is to propagate the policies and guidelines of the party and the state, and they always express the will and views of the state.
Don't
A bad association arose in Govyn's mind. Then he looked at the newspaper page in his hand, which had been folded in half
Back in,? 7? In March, at the second national congress of the All-China Association for Science and Technology held on the 5th, I put forward the idea that the modernization of science and technology must drive the modernization of literature and art, and at that time I also put forward the concept of science, literature and art, which is to enrich and develop the connotation of science popularization.
In fact, the world that everyone is accustomed to is just the most ordinary one among many worlds, and in the minds of our scientific and technical personnel, there are still more than a dozen or twenty worlds to describe, waiting for literary artists to use their most expressive methods to create unprecedented literature and art. It will lead us to the distance, to the heights, to the depths, and to carry forward and improve the spiritual realm of the Chinese nation.
However, the literature and art here contain fantasy, but it is not fantasy, it is not magical, but it is magical, it is not a thrilling story, but it is thrilling. It's not science fiction.
Because science fiction is actually a bad thing, science is a rigorous fantasy, but there are no scientific norms. Science and fantasy have always been two unrelated things, and from the perspective of the modernization of science and technology, science is actually hostile to fantasy, and science fiction is anti-science", pseudoscience
The science fiction novel "The Country Teacher" is full of holes in the eyes of us scientists, and the description of the interstellar jump is imaginary and has no scientific basis. However, the author's literary attainments are indeed very good, but it is precisely because of this that it will have a very bad impact on readers, and if science fiction promotes wrong popular science knowledge, it will cause a very big danger
A scientific and technological worker with a sense of responsibility should regard popular science as a part of his or her own cause, and if a professional scientific and technological worker is unable to clearly explain a scientific and technological issue to people who are not in the profession or who are not in the field, his learning and knowledge will be incomplete.
Govin smiled bitterly.
It's a scientific worker who is full of food and has nothing to do, and the idea that science fiction is regarded as a popular science work is really depressing and aggrieved
Govin has already discovered this problem when he recently analyzed the current situation facing Chinese science fiction. At this time, many science fiction writers have tried to get rid of the status quo that science fiction is a children's book, but the vast majority of readers, popular science critics, and scientists believe that science fiction is a part of popular science creation, that is, popular science. Therefore, these people believe that science fiction should focus more on scientific content, compressing the plot, background description, character portrayal and other literary and artistic elements, which is also one of the reasons why science fiction will be attacked on a large scale.
It's just that this is actually wrong, science fiction is still essentially a work of literature, although it revolves around science and technology. If there is no character portrayal and plot description, wouldn't that negate the literary essence of science fiction?
Govin spread out the folded newspaper in half, hoping to see who the author of the review was. Then he was stunned.
I saw that where the author's name was written under the title, there was a name that surprised everyone, Qian Xuesen
How could Gowen not know about Qian Xuesen?
He is an outstanding scientist well-known at home and abroad, the founder of China's aerospace industry, and one of the winners of China's Two Bombs and One Star Meritorious Service Medal
Qian Xuesen actually wrote an article criticizing his "Rural Teacher"?
Govyn was stunned.
