Just when Liu Shuiwen was in a dilemma, Pan Yongqiang sent a message to Liu Shuiwen: "Mr. Shuren, hello, since your work "Kong Yiji" does not meet the essay requirements of "Big Novel", you will now be notified of rejection, but please maintain your creative enthusiasm and look forward to your next submission." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

This is a very official rejection notice, but Liu Shuiwen is too happy. Of course, he knew that this was Lao Pan's 'trick', but he didn't expect this Lao Pan to be quite bold and dare to operate in the dark like this. Liu Shuiwen couldn't help but secretly admire this person.

To be honest, he really likes Lao Pan. Now in the same way, he also likes Li Dazhao very much, and he is worthy of being the new owner recommended by Lao Pan.

Liu Shuiwen replied to Li Dazhao: "I accepted your invitation, but I said in advance, you must not betray Lao Pan." ”

"Old Pan? Do you mean Mr. Pan Yongqiang? Don't worry, I'm not that stupid, besides, as long as Mr. Pan is willing, the position of editor-in-chief of the editorial office of "New Youth" is his. ”

"This idea is not bad, you might as well propose it to Lao Pan, I see that he is also quite angry in "Big Novel", an old editor, and he has to look at the face of a young editor-in-chief all day long, this is really aggrieved." Liu Shuiwen remembered that his first article "In the Restaurant" was passed after Lao Pan apologized to his editor-in-chief in a low voice, and now that he thinks about it, he is really angry.

An old editor actually wants to apologize to a young editor-in-chief? What's more, Liu Shuiwen heard Lao Pan say that the editor-in-chief seemed to sit in the position of editor-in-chief by relying on relationships, and the position should have belonged to Lao Pan, but he was taken away by someone, and it was really aggrieved to think about it.

"Did Mr. Pan tell you these words?" Li Dazhao was a little surprised. He is not very clear about the affairs of other magazines, because he has always felt that he must rely on strength to win, not by suppression, so he has not learned about the internal contradictions and operations of other magazines.

"I summed it up based on Lao Pan's words." Liu Shuiwen said, "Anyway, I know that he is very aggrieved there." ”

"So that's the case, I'll find a chance to invite Mr. Pan to have a meal and talk."

"Okay, I'll find the submission address of your magazine now, and then send the manuscript over, the title of the work is "Kong Yiji".

The Editorial Office of The Big Novel.

Editor-in-chief Lin Xiaodao saw Pan Yongqiang's rejection message and felt puzzled, so he asked him what was going on.

Pan Yongqiang said: "I think the article is too satirical and informative, and if it passes, it may be criticized by competitors." ”

Lin Xiaodao hadn't read that article, but he didn't like Shuren's work. Although the last article "In the Restaurant" was strongly recommended by several editors, in his opinion, it was contrary to the central indicator of "unity, hard work, peace and beauty" formulated by our country for literature.

Now that he heard Pan Yongqiang say this, he also felt that it didn't matter if Shuren's work was rejected, anyway, big novels have resources.

"It's okay, anyway, this Shuren's work is just average, next time he submits it, remember to set the review requirements higher, don't let his article be too rebellious." Lin Xiaodao said, "The article that is too rebellious is not in line with the purpose of what we say, do you understand? ”

"I see." Pan Yongqiang replied. Looking at the back of Lin Xiaodao's departure, Pan Yongqiang could only shake his head helplessly, and sighed in his heart: With such an editor-in-chief, the big novel will definitely not go far.

Chen Shenxiu buried his head a little and called Pan Yongqiang in a low voice: "Teacher Pan! ”

Pan Yongqiang looked at her: "What's wrong?" ”

"I don't think there's a problem with that "Kong Yiji" at all." Chen Shenxiu's eyes looked around, for fear that someone would hear his words.

"I think that's it." Pan Yongqiang pretended to be relaxed and said, "The irony of that article is too great, and it does not meet the positive requirements of our "Big Novel". ”

There seemed to be some truth in this, and Chen Shenxiu could only nod in agreement.

Li Dazhao was reading Mr. Shuren's manuscript "Kong Yiji".

[The layout of the hotel in Luzhen is different from other places: it is a large counter in the shape of a curved ruler on the street, and hot water is prepared in the cabinet, which can warm wine at any time. The worker, who worked in the afternoon and evening, spent four copper coins to buy a bowl of wine,-- which was more than 20 years ago, and now each bowl has to rise to ten yuan,-- standing outside the cabinet, drinking hot and resting; If you are willing to spend an extra penny, you can buy a plate of salt-boiled bamboo shoots, or fennel beans, to make wine, if you get more than a dozen yuan, then you can buy a meat dish, but these customers, most of them are short-clothed gangs, and most of them are not so generous. Only those who wear long shirts walk into the house next to the store, ask for wine and food, and sit down and drink slowly......]

"I haven't seen it until now—it's about Kong Yiji who is dead."

Li Dazhao repeated this sentence in his mouth, constantly pondering in his heart.

'About' and 'indeed' were very contradictory, which made him feel incomprehensible, and he didn't know if Kong Yiji was dead or not. He read it several more times, and finally determined that Kong Yiji was dead. Because he was of good character in the shop, he never defaulted on the money for the wine, and he must pay it off within a month, but this time he did not make up the nineteen dollars after nearly a year.

Moreover, when Kong Yiji came to the store for the last time, he only wore a torn jacket, and "I have to wear a padded jacket because of the fire all day." There is also Kong Yiji's leg that has been broken, crawling all the way, it can be seen that Kong Yiji may not be able to survive this winter.

Although the author has no evidence to prove that he died, there are various indications that he was indeed dead, so there is no contradiction between "approximately" and "indeed".

Li Dazhao was amazed by such writing skills, and what also amazed him was the far-reaching meaning of this article, and the intensity of the criticism was even more amazing.

The author portrays Kong Yiji as an impoverished, pedantic and insensitive, lazy but kind intellectual. The full text of this article is less than 3,000 words, but it expresses a considerable depth and breadth of ideological content with extremely concise pen and ink.

"Who else in this world can write such an article except Mr. Treeman?" Li Dazhao couldn't help sighing, shocked, too shocking! "There can be Mr. Shuren in the world, even if I don't read other people's articles anymore, I have no regrets."

Although the background of this story is not clear, it is perfectly fine in the 23rd century. Kong Yiji is like a person in the 23rd century who wants to revive literature, these people want to revive literature, want to set off a great wave of literature, but they die in the ridicule of people.

The shopkeepers who add water to the wine are like the so-called 'everyone' now, who do not hesitate to add water to their works in order to make more profits. Xiaobaiwen has become Dabaiwen, a scene can write tens of thousands of words, and a conversation can use several pages. This is the sorrow of literature, but also the sorrow of humanity.

While chasing fame and fortune, people always forget their original dreams. The spirit is becoming more and more decadent with money, and in the end it will be poisoned by boring literature, and become a group of soulless corpses of the walking dead.

Li Dazhao trembled, his hands trembling on the keyboard.

By shaping Kong Yiji's tragic character, the work shows the tragic phenomenon of the wanton spread of Xiaobai literature and the nowhere to survive in fine literature; On the other hand, through the tragic fate of Kong Yiji, the work also shows how people who are trying to reform and innovate have been stifled. While showing Kong Yiji's tragic fate, the work also criticizes the current society's contentment and indifference from another perspective by showing the environment surrounding Kong Yiji. This article is less than 3,000 words, but it is described with exquisite ideas and delicate language and actions, satirizing and sympathizing with intellectuals who dare to innovate but are stifled on the road of innovation. ”

If there is anyone in the world who can understand 'Mr. Shuren', this person must be Li Dazhao.

[I don't feel motivated to write it down, after all, I'm going against Xiao Baiwen!] So ......]
