Chapter 32 "The King of Paintings" ceased publication
"Boss, why hasn't this month's "Painting King" arrived yet, it's the 25th, isn't it usually the 20th at the latest?"
"Yes, I wonder too, but the latest issue of this magazine hasn't arrived yet, so let's wait."
However, what makes fans of "The King of Paintings" more and more anxious is that the 25th issue of "The King of Paintings" has not arrived, it has been almost two months, and even one issue of "The King of Paintings" has not been listed, because the Internet era has not yet arrived, and there are fewer channels for everyone to get advice, and many people still think that the place where they bought books is no longer in "The King of Paintings", so they spent a lot of time running to other bookstores and newsstands to buy, but the owners of each store said that "The King of Paintings" has not arrived, which can make some readers anxious like ants on a hot pot.
Holding the 24th issue of "The King of Paintings", Zhou Kun no longer knows how many times he has read it, every time he thinks that Xiaojie, the protagonist of "Full-time Hunter", has just passed the second test, and there are 42 candidates left, and when the entire hunter exam is in full swing, he looks forward to the stars and the moon, and hopes that the latest issue of "The King of Paintings" can be released as soon as possible, so that he, a hardcore "Hunter" fan, can have a look.
But it's been two months, the latest issue of "The King of Paintings" has not come out yet, he has run more than a dozen bookstores today, but he still hasn't found the 25th issue of "The King of Paintings" on the shelves, Zhou Kun felt very discouraged, only when he got home, he looked at the previous "King of Paintings", but the more he looked at it, the worse his mood became, and finally he couldn't help it, threw the book, and then clenched his fists and used the quilt on the bed as a gas bag, beating hard to vent his dissatisfaction.
"The King of Paintings" magazine is too much, thanks to the readers for supporting you so much, but now I haven't even seen the shadow of the latest issue, and I'm embarrassed to say so many beautiful things in the 24th issue, hum!" Zhou Kun, who didn't know the truth of the matter, naturally piled up the fault of the magazine's delay in listing to the "Painting King" magazine itself, of course, in fact, it was not only Zhou Kun, many fans of "Painting King" who were the same as him, thought that the latest issue was delayed because there was something wrong with the magazine itself, and they never thought that it would be the government that issued a death order to force "Painting King" to stop publication.
Until the family gathered in the living room and had dinner, Zhou Kun's mood still did not improve, his face was tense and he didn't say a word, just eating.
Zhou Kun's parents did not notice that their son was in a bad mood, but focused on the news broadcast that was being broadcast, and the couple had a habit of watching the news alliance at night. However, Zhou Kun is not like his parents, he is not interested in CCTV's news alliance, and he finds it too boring and boring.
Just as he was about to finish his meal early and return to his room, a piece of news suddenly came to his ears. It was learned from the Ministry of Public Security that in 1994, the public security organs across the country severely cracked down on the illegal and criminal activities of infringing and pirating comics, and achieved remarkable results...... "Zhou Kun's parents, who have long been addicted to comics for their son, liked the news of such a crackdown on comics. However, Zhou Kun just glanced at it, smiled contemptuously, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the trash.
Now seeing that CCTV's news broadcasts have begun to broadcast cartoons, how can they let their son miss such news, so they hurriedly reminded Zhou Kun: "Watch TV." In fact, there is no need for a prompt from his parents, Zhou Kun has already put down the dishes and chopsticks and focused his attention on the TV.
"But in recent years, the domestic market has been flooded with all kinds of interesting and vulgar Japanese comics, many of which are violent content, which has a great impact on the physical and mental health of Chinese children. This reporter visited many bookstores in Beijing and found that there were a lot of pirated Japanese comics that had not been imported through legal channels, and that many primary and secondary school students gathered in front of these bookstores as soon as school was out of school to buy and read these Japanese comics containing bad content......"
If it was just to crack down on pirated comics, Zhou Kun would only laugh it off after reading it, and he wouldn't take the news to heart, but when he saw that "Painting King" magazine also appeared on TV and was treated as a pirated comic, he couldn't laugh anymore. When he saw that the fat-headed, big-eared, big-bellied senior official of the Ministry of Public Security promised in the face of reporters that in the future, he would intensify efforts to crack down on and ban pirated comics in Japan, and when he saw that there was a magazine that published pirated comics in Japan, Zhou Kun immediately understood why the magazine "King of Paintings" had not been listed for two consecutive months, and it turned out that it was banned by the government.
"The government has done a real thing, and it should have cracked down on these Japanese comics a long time ago! Children are obsessed with these comics all day long, and where can they still have the heart to learn. Kun Kun, after reading today's news, you should also understand how harmful the comics you usually read, don't read them again in the future! ”
Zhou Kun didn't answer his parents' words, he put down the rice bowl that he hadn't finished eating, and returned to the room without saying a word, not wanting his parents to see his sad and tearful expression.
"The King of Painting was banned, and it was banned, this ...... Why, exactly! Why do adults always think that comics will make us learn badly, why do we have such prejudices! When he walked back to his room, tears finally couldn't stop flowing from his eyes, looking at the entire row of "The King of Picture Books" on the bookshelf, Zhou Kun wiped away his tears vigorously, and made up his mind in his heart, "No matter what adults think, I'm a comic fan anyway, I want to give up my love for comics and daydream!" ”
Perhaps because it felt that the publicity in one night was not enough, in order to further publicize the harmfulness of Japanese comics, CCTV used the title of "cracking down on piracy" to report on the situation of mainland comics in the "News Network" for two consecutive nights. The picture and narration point out how vulgar, bad and violent the content of Japanese comic books is, and says that it is necessary to strengthen the management and not allow these publications to poison the youth of the motherland. On the last night, a magazine "Science Fiction World" published by Sichuan was highlighted, saying how the book was instructive, with pictures and texts.
CCTV's suppression of public opinion is like the last grass on the back of a camel, completely crushing this camel called "comics", and Chinese comics, which have already begun to improve, have also suffered a heavy blow, laying the general direction of China's future comics development, which should be healthy and beneficial and love science as the starting point. Since then, domestic comic creation has tended to science fiction stories, and no one dares to set foot in modern themes!
