A few days after the court's verdict, I received a call from "Frog" Feng Yuqiang.
I expected to instigate me to join New Speech again.
In these years, the media is like a green house, the literati are like prostitutes, in Feng Yuqiang's words, our "New Speech" is a high-class prostitute, and we don't sell our bodies.
He said: "Xiaoyu, I heard about the verdict, what are your plans, do you still appeal?" ”
"We analyzed the situation and decided that there was no point in appealing, so we decided not to appeal again."
"That's fine, so as not to toss again. Are you free today, come to "New Speech" to talk? ”
I don't think I have anything to do right now anyway, so let's talk about it.
The office address of the "New Speech" weekly is in an office building on Dawang Road, which is the place where the legendary wild models live, and outside Xinguang Tiandi, there are a large number of tall, fair-skinned women with heavy makeup.
The office of "New Speech" is on the top floor, and Feng Yuqiang said that there was a plan to rent this top floor at the beginning, and we people who are engaged in culture must stand tall and see far, and be broad-minded.
In the conference room, he took me to the floor-to-ceiling windows, looked down at the rows of white buildings of the International Trade Center, and said: "When people stand tall, their natural feelings will be great, and men should be broad-minded and not confined to small sections." ”
"What is the subsection that Teacher Feng said?"
"I invited you to "New Speech" because I fancy your talent, you don't have any selfish intentions, so don't think too much."
"I've always wanted to ask you, the last time you said you knew my dad, what was going on? If you don't say it, I won't come! ”
Seeing my resolute tone, he frowned, sighed helplessly and said, "Forget it, I'll tell you everything." ”
He sat me down and personally made me a cup of jasmine tea: "Do you know how the magazine "Tide" of the liberal arts university came about? ”
"I've heard that it was initiated by three students and a teacher, and one of the students' fathers was the head of the General Administration of Publications, who single-handedly made this happen. At the end of the 80s, this magazine introduced some advanced trends of thought in the West, which had a great influence on the Chinese cultural circles, especially some college students, who would get together to discuss the articles on them every time they came out. It wasn't until a year later that the magazine was purged and much less sharp. ”
"Very well, what else do you know?"
"The magazine has four pens, known as the 'Four Gentlemen', that is, the four founders, all of whom publish articles under pseudonyms, and the words are earth-shattering and crying ghosts and gods, and have the power to turn decay into magic, and even affected the literary style of the cultural criticism circle at that time, and later these four people disappeared, and it is said that only one person remained in the University of Liberal Arts."
"Well, this person is Professor Zhuang."
"I expected this, where are the other three people now."
"Those three students, one is me and the other is your father......"
"Ahh It's no wonder that when I was a child, I always searched the corner for old magazines of "Chao", but why did my dad keep hiding this history? He told me that he had only been to Beijing for a few months of training, and he never told me that he was studying at a liberal arts university. Why are you hiding this from me? ”
"Your dad is an idealist who was expelled from school once, when Chao published several sharp articles exposing the fact that several chemical factories around Beijing polluted the land with waste, and he took full responsibility for the fact that one of the factories had a background." Feng Yuqiang subconsciously lowered his head, his face was ashamed.
I saw the guilt in his heart and said, "He's a debut novel, and he has some idealism." ”
"The three of us went to the train station to see him off, and he said that all this is in the past, and we don't want others to mention these passions and dreams in the future, and the most important thing is to live a good life. I'll never forget his back, and I felt so small compared to him. ”
"But why didn't he even reveal anything about me?"
"Ji Kang wrote "Family Commandments" to his son in prison before he was sentenced, and he persuaded his son to become an official for people who were so jealous and hateful to officialdom, and Lu Xun also persuaded future generations not to be empty writers, lick the calf deeply, maybe your father has his own considerations!"
I let out a thoughtful "oh".
Then, Feng Yuqiang said eloquently: "After your father returned to his hometown, your mother was a nurse in the school hospital at the time, and insisted on following him, and soon you were born, and I also went when you were born, and your hospital delivered four boys on the same day, and the locals said that it was God's will, and some people worshiped the mountain god, which was quite grand, haha." Feng Yuqiang's eyes bulged wider when he laughed, more like a wise frog.
"I have a strong memory, I remember spending time at my grandmother's house until I was three years old, and I don't seem to see my parents very often."
"They were all still in Beijing at the time. After the efforts of Professor Zhuang, me and another person, and his father, within a year, this matter was overturned, on the one hand, the background of the chemical factory with a background was not powerful, someone found out that the school used lynching, and a document was sent on it, so you will find your father back to go to college again, and the work of "Tide" also made him take on the responsibility again.
Your mom has also returned to the school hospital to continue working. ”
"Hmm."
"Until that year, your uncle also came to Beijing, but something happened to him, and your father was very guilty, saying that he didn't take good care of him, and then he always had a shadow in his heart, facing the people in his hometown, especially your grandparents, he always felt that he owed them and couldn't pay it back. This is the price to pay for ideals! ”
My thoughts raced: "Got it." ”
It turned out that the parents moved out of Qiaobian Town, maybe that's the reason, they want to be less disturbed in their later years.
"What is the name of that person in the 'Four Gentlemen' of "Tide"?"
"That person is also your fellow countryman, who was called the double hero of the liberal arts university with your father at the time, hey, there is an intriguing love story to talk about, although it is a little bleak, but there is still a happy part."
"Teacher Feng, speak slowly."
"Your mother was a nurse at the school hospital at the time, haha, the hospital flower. They always like to play basketball, they are prone to injury, and they get acquainted with your mother when they come and go. Sometimes in order to see your mother, you deliberately get hurt even if you don't get hurt. Both of these people are interesting to your mother, and your mother naturally only loves your father. When your father was expelled from school, your mother never left him, and your father was very painful in his heart, on the one hand, he was afraid that he would not be able to give your mother a good life in the future, and he would give your mother to that person, on the other hand, he was very loving and depressed all day long. Although that person and the school hospital tried their best to keep him, your mother still quit her job at the school hospital and went back to marry your father. Later, after your parents returned to Beijing, even though they were married and had children, that person was still very good to your parents. ”
"He's a decent gentleman."
"He's also talented and deeply supported by girls. His father was still the leader of the Publishing Department at that time, and he ate national food, so how fragrant it was. But your mother only has a soft spot for your dad, plus the three of them are fellow villagers and often play together, outsiders think the three of them have no guilt. ”
Feng Yuqiang took a sip of tea and continued: "When "Tide" was established at that time, that person's father personally came forward to say hello, so it went so smoothly. Since the accident of "Tide" that year, his father was demoted and transferred back to his hometown to be a county magistrate, and he naturally followed his father back after graduation. ”
"And then?"
"That's what happened later, your mother saw through the disturbances of this big Beijing city, and watched your uncle being ruthlessly hurt here, a good young man, and finally ended up like this, hey, I still feel distressed when I think about it now. Your mother is determined to go back to her hometown to live a dull life accompanied by cooking smoke and the singing of birds and flowers. At that time, your father chose to follow love, lost everything in Beijing, and went back with your mother, otherwise you would be a Beijinger now. As for that person, he also went back to marry a wife and have children, and everyone slowly stopped mentioning everything in the past, everyone lived in firewood, rice, oil and salt to cover themselves, not to mention the ideals and passions of the past, just before and after tea or in the kitchen, sighing about reality and life. ”
"What's that guy's name?"
"Fu Hongzi, now he is the leader of your area."
"Does he have a daughter, named Fu Wenxin!"
"Yes, your dad told you?"
"No...... No. ”
I was stunned for a moment, I used to hear Fu Wenxin say that he also had an old issue of "Chao" at home, but I never thought about it.
Our fathers used to have so many grievances and grievances. And she and I seem to be following the trajectory of life controlled by some kind of magic, staging a destined separation and merger, and finally separated by thousands of miles.
All this makes no sense, fate? But I don't believe in fate, isn't everything the result of self-selection?
Why was she so resolute, and she didn't even have any soft confession, and left me completely. The more I thought about it, the more I hated her in my heart.
However, can I really follow someone for love without reservation, like my father and mother? Sometimes, I am like a child who has not grown up, constantly asking questions and torturing myself.
