Chapter 217: On the day of release
Any just war, during or after the war, will give birth to literary works that are as brilliant and great as this war. (The fastest updated novel station.)
On the eve of the Chinese New Year, in a place called Dulong Commune on the border of Yunnan, China, a young man named Wei Guo was about to marry his lover who had been in love for many years, unfortunately stepped on a landmine planted by Vietnamese soldiers in China, and never woke up.
Prior to this, hundreds of border guards and border residents in China's Guangxi and Yunnan regions, which are separated by only one border from this country, were killed and wounded, and within six months, this country had taken the second highest number of armed provocations against our country. For a period of time, our country, which was originally a land of peace and tranquility, suddenly had a bloody storm and devastated lives. In the face of such blatant criminal acts of invading our territory, destroying our villages, killing our soldiers and civilians, constantly creating bloodshed, and seriously threatening our country's security and our country's socialist construction, on 7 February of that year, our Guangxi and Yunnan border troops were forced to bravely fight back against the aggressors.
Although the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam that took place on February 7, 1979 lasted only 16 days, it can be said that these 16 days were condensed 16 days.
These 16 days are indeed too short for people who are drunk and dreaming all day long, so short that they almost don't have time to taste too much pleasure and happiness in life. And for the soldiers at the front in a state of war, it is indeed too long, so long that there is almost no end in sight, many people, on the first day of these 16 days, have completed the journey of life, and some people, on the last day of these 16 days, closed their eyes forever.
The 16-day war created 16 days of glory, and the 16 days of glory became an inexhaustible source and treasure for the creation of literary artists.
The novella "Garland Under the Mountain" written by Li Cunjian, a little-known creator of the Song and Dance Troupe of the Political Department of the Jinan Military Region, can be said to be the best work among all the literary and artistic works that depict and reproduce the glory of these 16 days.
The novel "Soldier Assault", written by Ge Wen, a well-known newcomer writer and young thinker in the Chinese literary circle, can also be said to be one of the best works of literature describing the self-defense and counterattack against Vietnam.
"Soldier Assault" serialized in "Wen Wei Po" is a rare outstanding military-themed novel in recent years, different from the vast majority of military-themed novels, it is a group of model soldiers wearing military uniforms to act, there is no mass foundation, no life precipitation, no artistic refinement, it is a bunch of sub-templates in the memorization of lines to squeeze expressions and sell appearances, "Soldier Assault" delicately and truly shows the story of the growth process of a group of republican people.
In addition to the enjoyment of reading, "Soldier Assault" gives readers a lot of thinking and a lot of beliefs at a deeper level, "Don't abandon, don't give up." The belief of the steel seven companies, and many more "work hard and do more meaningful things." "Faith...,......... This kind of feeling is blended in light-heartedness, humor, touching tears, and naturally and not deliberately, "naturally won the love of countless readers."
With the progress of serialization in "Wen Wei Po", with the progress of the novel story, "Soldier Assault" has already caused a great sensation and repercussions in the whole society. It was as if a hydrogen bomb had exploded above people's heads, and when the smoke of the hydrogen bomb had dissipated, people who were agitated by excitement and excitement quietly thought about why so many previous literary works describing military affairs were not as radiant and penetrating as Gowen's "Soldier Assault", and why when people read the previous works, although they were also angry and wept, they did not "fall into deep thought" after reading this work.
Soldiers are the cornerstone of the army, and without good soldiers, there will be no good troops. In the army, soldiers and generals are actually one rest, and the confidence of the generals must come from the ability of the soldiers, from those proud and confident soldiers. In today's peaceful years, soldiers are a special group of rest, they silently defend their homes and countries with their unique persistent beliefs, applause, flowers, the halo of success, etc. do not belong to them, but they still have been silently dedicated.
As Govine wrote in the novel, ""The soldier in peacetime is more desolate, he is not like the war years, he can fight with the enemy knife to gun, today's soldiers do not have major military actions, compared to other professions in society, the income of soldiers is not high, but also in the team silently struggle, obey discipline, so they are more worthy of our respect, more worthy of special mention...... "Soldiers in peacetime is a special group rest, a group of young people in the harsh environment far from the bustling life, with youth, sweat, Blood to reveal the value of life.
And now this gang has been crying and sweating, and the soldiers who have grown up are finally going to battle
They finally deliberately fought the enemy with real guns
Serialized here, how do you let readers not worry? How can you not let go?
Nowadays, the first thing many people do when they get up or go to work is to open the latest issue of Wen Wei Po, and barely hold back the eagerness in their hearts to read the serialization of thousands of words from the novel serialization column of the supplement. As for the news? Let's talk about it after watching "Soldier Assault".
At noon on the 25th of May.
Gowen's living room.
A novel called "Soldier Assault" lay quietly on the coffee table.
The sunlight shone down from a high place, and the portraits of the soldiers with different expressions and alert expressions on the cover were plated with a layer of gold, sharp and solemn. 【Ye * Zi】【Yo * Yo
When discussing the publication of "Soldier Assault" with Hang Jian, in addition to asking for remuneration, Ge Wen hoped that Fudan University Press could publish "Soldier Assault" as much as possible, on the one hand, he was eager to see his book as soon as possible, but on the other hand, it was considered from the aspect of sales, after all, the novel had already been serialized in "Wen Wei Po", and if "Wen Wei Po" had finished serializing "Soldier Assault" before the book came out, it would undoubtedly lose some book buyers.
At that time, Hang Jian laughed and agreed to Gowen's request, for Fudan University Press, which has fallen into a bottleneck, "Soldier Assault" is an important stepping stone, a brick to knock on the stubborn conservative views in the minds of those secular writers, and they can't help but be careless and not serious, so Gowen is purely worrying about the sky.
At noon on the 25th of May, the third day after Xie Jin visited Gowen, Hang Jian had already sent Gowen a sample book of "Soldier Assault", and now the two were sitting on the sofa in the living room "examining the book of "Soldier Assault" on the coffee table.
Gowen's eyes were fixed on the book on the coffee table, and then he gently picked it up from the coffee table.
Looking at the dazzling words "Soldier Assault" and "Written by Gowen" on the cover, and looking at the words with a faint ink fragrance in the middle, Gowen's heart was filled with incomparable satisfaction and pride
This is Lao Tzu's first book published! But it definitely won't be the last
At this time, in the serial column of the supplement novel of "Wen Wei Po", "Soldier Assault" happened to have just entered **.
"The 50,000 copies of the new book that have just been released were sent to all parts of the country yesterday." Hang Jian smiled and looked at Govin who was stroking the cover and sighed.
Looking at Ge Wen, who nodded carelessly, Hang Jian continued: "In addition to sending you this sample book, I also hope that you can send a notice in tomorrow's "Wen Wei Po"!" “
"What notice?" Govyn looked up, his gaze finally taking his eyes back from the new book.
"Let's just say that "Soldier Assault" has been published and is available in major Xinhua bookstores across the country."
Ge Wen was stunned for a moment, then put down the new book in his hand, looked at Hang Jian on his side and said with some surprise: "Teacher Hang, I find that you are less and less like a teacher now. ”
"Huh?" Hang Jian had this doubt.
"You're looking more and more like a businessman." Govin grinned and said his conclusion.
This provoked Hang Jian's laughter and scolding, "Stinky boy! ”
Laughing and laughing, he thinks of Hang Jian's Jianyì Gewen.
With the help of Wen Wei Po's announcement, "Soldier Assault" has come out, which is undoubtedly a very happy and very pleasant thing for those readers who are eager to see it, and it is a very happy and very comfortable thing for Govin and Fudan University Press.
So early the next morning, when readers picked up the "Wen Wei Po" on the 26th, and according to their usual habit, they turned to the "Novel Serialization" column of the sub-edition for the first time before reading the news in the newspaper and wanted to read today's "Soldier Assault", they immediately noticed that the editor's words appeared again before the serialization of this issue of "Soldier Assault".
The military literary work "Soldier Assault" written by Ge Wen has been published by Fudan University Press and is now sold in major Xinhua bookstores.
"Soldier Assault" was published?
That's great news
For a while, the readers could no longer hold back the excitement in their hearts, nor could they care about the work at hand, let alone read the chapter of "Soldier Assault" serialized in Wen Wei Po today, they got up one after another, and then left home or left the unit in a hurry.
At this time, if you look down from the sky to the ground, you will see groups of people with different identities and excited expressions outside the Xinhua bookstores in major cities. Farther away, with Xinhua Bookstore as the center, people in the whole city from time to time go straight forward like an arrow along the radius, and the direction of the arrow is the major Xinhua bookstores.
Then there was the mixed news, those in the areas close to Shanghai who had bought their long-awaited "Soldier Assault" as they wished, while those who came to buy books in Zhongxing, a city farther away from Shanghai, heard bad news
Sorry, "Soldier Assault" is not on the shelves yet, and it may take two or three days......... By the way, we have other military-themed novels here, why don't you buy them............ Hey, don't go............
Well, then wait another two or three days
The people who left the bookstore angrily looked at the other people who also turned around and left, and at the same time, they were secretly frightened, but also quietly made a decision in their hearts, it seems that there are many people who want to buy books, no, from tomorrow onwards, I will come every day, and in the end, if I can't buy books, I will suffer
"The Xinhua Bookstore in Hongkou District is out of stock, hurry up and send two hundred copies to the past!" After hanging up the phone, the head of the distribution department of Fudan University Press, who couldn't suppress his excitement on his face, shouted at the department staff behind him with a hoarse throat.
Just now, he has received dozens of phone calls one after another, all of which are statements from Xinhua bookstores in various districts of Shanghai asking for continued supply.
"Great! Go right away. The distribution officer, who had been on the sidelines, had a smile on his face and walked straight out of the office.
Before he could reach the door, he heard a bang, and the office door was pushed open from the outside, and then a sweaty distribution department member rushed in, and then a trace of irrepressible excitement rushed out of his mouth
"It's out of stock, the warehouse is out of stock. In addition to the five print runs sent to all parts of the country, the rest were sent out! ”
As soon as his words came out, the whole room was silent, and then the office quickly erupted in a loud cheer
"We made it!"
"Hooray!"
"Long live Fudan University Press!"
After a long time, the group fell silent, and everyone looked at each other's satisfied smiles on each other's faces, and then they all laughed.
This is the last battle of Fudan University Press, and it is their most critical transformation, and they succeeded
When I learned from Hang Jian that he had spent such a high price to buy the publishing rights of Gowen's "Soldier Assault", it was not that no one slandered, not that no one complained, you must know that Fudan University Press has published so many books, but the best sales performance is only 50,000 copies, and the money is given to Gowen, so what does the publishing house make for itself? But now everyone is extremely excited, and the mustard in their hearts has long disappeared in this piece of good news.
Professor Hang is mighty
Professor Hang rippled
The phone on the "ding-ding-ding" table rang again.
The head of the line frowned, and then immediately as if he remembered something, his brow soothed and howled loudly
"Hurry up and find me Teacher Hang! Pull him over for me right away, don't care what he's doing, even if it's a class, I'll tell him that "Soldier Assault" is sold out! We need to print another print run right away......... No, at least five print runs! ,…“……
On the day that "Soldier Assault" was put on the shelves, "Wen Wei Po" published the day that "Soldier Assault" had been published.
Major Xinhua bookstores in Shanghai.
The sales of "Soldier Assault" are swords and swords, and the dust is flying.
Except for the 4,700 books sent to all parts of the country, there is no news for the time being, and the 4,900 copies of "Soldier Assault" allocated to major bookstores in Shanghai and the 3,000 copies of "Soldier Assault" that have been backlogged in the Fudan University Press have all been sold out.
