The next day, a lively discussion began in the news media. Unlike the previous day's discussion, this day's discussion revolved around two essays by Gowen and Barkin, and most of them praised and glorified the ideas in Gowen's essay.

Not much to say about the local newspapers, even the "Guangming Daily" and other first-class newspapers that had previously opposed the editorial of the "Yangcheng Evening News" have changed their course at this time, and finally expressed their positive views on behalf of the editorial department, among which the articles published in the "Guangming Daily" are undoubtedly the most representative. This time, "Guangming Daily" published an article by Mr. Feng Youlan, a well-known philosopher and educator in China.

Some people say that advocating the values of individual life in the current China is "a countercurrent in the exhibition of socialist thought in the new era", but I would like to say that the article "China Needs to Pay Attention to the Value of Individual Life" has changed the traditional model of the previous policy of attachment in the ideological circles and raised a new philosophical question, which is in essence a movement of the rise of man.

The special period, with its ultra-leftist approach, destroyed humanistic ideas so harshly that it became the most terrifying period for a culture that lost its mind and people. This is wrong! We can't keep our minds stuck in that dark age, the enlightenment of man, the awakening of man, the humanitarianism, the return of man...... This is the connotation of the liberation of the individual who feels the blood from the trampling and ravaging of the alienated god as reason, and it is the voice of all intellectuals, and it is a real emancipation of the mind. In this sense, the People's Daily's commentary can be compared to the organizers of the May Fourth Movement.

……

In the "Shanghai Daily", Mr. Qian Gurong, a well-known literary theorist, also highly praised this article by Gowen.

Today, when I saw that the "People's Daily" published this article by Comrade Gewen, I deeply agree that we should not only advocate humanitarianism in the ideological circles, but also humanitarianism in the world.

In 1957, I wrote an article entitled "On the Study of Humans", in which I stated a point of view, that is, the study of humans, which cannot be regarded as a tool for political services!

The so-called anthropology is a text that records and studies the problems of life based on humanitarianism. In fact, humanism is not the so-called charity of 'compassion for others' or 'generosity for all', but a kind of individualistic humanism.

If humanitarianism does not have Hugo Tolstoy's human care, then its compassion will not be broader and vast, wider than the sea and the sky. However, if humanism does not refer to the freedom of the living individual, then it will lose the foundation of humanism, along with its profound spiritual heritage, and it is likely to fall into the later obedience and service of the masses, workers, peasants, and soldiers, so that the concern for the world will become another way of saying that the grass is falling into the grass and the riot of words.

In the past special period, let be used for discourse riots, and then in turn become a vassal of the discourse of power, this is one of the most painful lessons in Chinese history.

……

Many well-known old scholars and experts in China have commented on this article by Ge Wen in the People's Daily as the most thoughtful theoretical article in the 80s, which has emancipated the thinking of the ideological and theoretical circles, and is the first article with great influence that opens the way for the economic policy of reform and opening up.

Just relying on this article in the "People's Daily", Govin suddenly became a hot expert and scholar in the ideological and theoretical circles, and many media called the young Govin a teacher in the ideological circles.

Receiving such praise all of a sudden, and facing such praise from several people in the cultural field, made Govyn's scalp tingle. Although he was glad that he had won such a great reputation, did he really deserve such a title? The reason why I was able to write articles that everyone admired was nothing more than that I was exposed to various theories of later generations, and it can be said that my fame was standing on the shoulders of giants. But one day other people's thoughts and ideas will run out, and what will you do when that time comes? Could it be that there is still a bloody injury to Zhongyong?

Thinking of this, Govin became more and more eager to improve his knowledge and ability. Sometimes stress is not motivation!

And that's not the end of the story, the more fun is yet to come.

On this day, the publication time of "Yangcheng Evening News" was half a day later than before, and as soon as this newspaper came out, countless people were dumbfounded and speechless.

I saw that the front page of this issue of "Yangcheng Evening News" was the article reprinted from "People's Daily" by Gowen, and the next page was attached to Gowen's editorial article in "Yangcheng Evening News" for the first time -- "China needs to pay attention to the value of individual life". At the end of these two articles, "Yangcheng Evening News" explained how the two articles are in the same vein and take care of each other in the form of an editor's note.

And the most important thing is the last sentence of the editor's note -- the authors of these two articles are Comrade Govin, a special commentator of our newspaper.

It was as if another barrel of gasoline had been poured into the boiling fire, and as if a tornado had suddenly blown in an earthquake, and the entire intellectual circle, which had been enthusiastically discussing the article in the People's Daily, was also fascinated by such a coincidental incident, and was somewhat speechless.

What the hell is going on here?

Two articles were written by one person, and the author was so young!!

Couldn't these two articles come out together at once?

Was this intentional or coincidental? No one knows, but according to several sources circulating in the news media, after seeing this issue of the "Yangcheng Evening News", the editors-in-chief of several newspapers, including the editor-in-chief of "Guangming Daily", broke their water glasses.

For a while, the discussion about Govin was very loud, and the "young thinker who was already a rising star in the ideological world" who had already pressed on him has now become a "young scholar in the ideological circle".

And the most heated discussion about Govine's identity is the group of college students.

As early as the beginning of the "Generation" table, Govin had already made a name for himself. At this moment, it is even more because the two review articles he wrote are written in response to the incident closely related to college students in saving old farmers, which caters to the crazy absorption of fresh experience by college students in the early days of reform and opening up, trying to break the rebellious psychology of the past ten years, and suddenly became the idol of all college students.

Imagine that a person can write a poem like "A Generation" to vent the hearts of their generation, and then write two critical essays that are in line with their hearts, calling on everyone to respect the value of individual life and advocate the emancipation of people, how can such a character not be admired by everyone? In addition, the two articles that caused controversy among all intellectuals in the whole society were actually written by this person alone, how could such a legendary thing not make everyone crazy? How can you not let everyone worship it!

Idol!

Countless college students stared at the front page of the "Yangcheng Evening News" in their hands or in the newspaper reading column, and shouted hysterically in their hearts.

(I'm very excited about this chapter, and I hope you read it too!) ）
