Xiao Fei is secretly cool, let the discussion come more violently!

In this way, your name can be mentioned more frequently and be known by more people.

At the very least, in the literary circles of Province H, many people will pay attention to the controversial articles on literary topics in several newspapers in the province, and then they will become interested in themselves.

That's enough.

Xiao Fei regretted that three newspapers, such as the Beijing Evening News, Qilu Evening News, and Xinmin Evening News, could not be seen now, and it was not known whether they had excerpted and published their own articles.

Well, there is also the Youth Digest magazine, which was still monthly in 1996 and changed to a semi-monthly magazine until 2000. So now there is no way to know whether my article has actually been reprinted.

Magazines such as Youth Digest, which have a circulation of more than one million copies, are distributed nationwide, and are sold at almost every newspaper retail stall in the country.

If his article on anti-chicken soup is really reprinted by Youth Digest, it can quickly form a national impact, and even set off a lot of craze in China.

Xiao Fei has great expectations for the future.

After reading the newspaper, Xiao Fei spread out the manuscript paper, but he did not immediately start to devote himself to writing as before, but began to ponder for a short time: how shocking can it be to drop this bomb now?

He was going to write a literary review.

The name of the review has already been thought of, and it is called: "Literature is dead, please burn paper if you have something".

The idea that "literature is dead" was thrown out by Ma Yuan, a famous domestic avant-garde writer, at a literary salon in 2002.

This idea shocked the whole country and sparked a big discussion in China.

The literary world leader Meng Lao immediately criticized and said: It's your Ma Yuan's literature that is dead, right? As long as people still speak human words, then literature cannot die!

This discussion, which swept the country, attracted the attention and participation of almost all literary insiders.

The controversy went on for more than a decade, and in the end it didn't come to fruition.

But in the course of this controversy, the decline of literature, especially the self-proclaimed orthodox pure literature, is visible to all: literary magazines are constantly dying, and even the number of subscribers to them is very small, and even some literary journals have only single digits of annual subscriptions.

Not only periodicals, but also the publication of literary works was sluggish.

There are more and more novels, but the two in command that readers can buy can be counted.

Writers' creations have also fallen into a period of desolation, torn between catering to the market and satisfying literary ideals. The sacred literary world has become so dilapidated that it is not presentable.

Why, then, does literature decay?

And is it a cliff-like decay?

Looking not far away, the 80s were the golden age of Chinese literature. Almost all literary periodicals are on fire, and famous works are emerging one after another.

In the 80s, readers were also extremely fanatical about literature, and a novel was often sold out after publication, and a reprint was extremely popular.

Everyone reads literary journals, everyone reads literary masterpieces, and many of the discussions at the gathering are mainly about literary topics.

Literature was the biggest fashion of that era.

Unfortunately, the good times were short-lived.

After entering the 90s, with the rapid development of the domestic economy, the rich business atmosphere, and the acceleration of the pace of life, literature seemed to fall behind overnight and was abandoned by the public.

By the end of the 90s, the phenomenon was even more serious.

The subscription of literary periodicals, which was originally so popular, has declined, and even large-scale national literary journals such as People's Literature have suffered a tragic landslide, and the subscription has once slipped to only a few thousand copies per month.

Why can't literature?

Later critics have given pertinent opinions.

First, pure literature is "if you don't die, you won't die", many writers and works are divorced from the people's reading and consumption needs, blindly making strange and clever things, working the structure of the text, the narrative, and the wonder of language.

What is it? It is the writer who is far away from life, away from the essential meaning of literature, abandoning his roots and pursuing the end, indulging in his own world and unable to extricate himself.

As a result, not only readers can't read pure literary works, but many writers can't read them.

It's no wonder that these incomprehensible things are popular!

If the reader doesn't abandon it, then he can't get along with himself!

If you want to play it yourself, go and play it yourself, but it's impossible to get us to pay for your game.

The writer is opposed to the reader.

Can you get good fruit to eat?

Second, many pure literary periodicals and magazines have become the self-reserved land of insiders, and have become a happy place for people to compete for fame and fortune.

However, if people outside the circle want to squeeze in, it will not be easy.

In those literary journals, if you want to publish a manuscript, you rely on brushing your face and relying on relationships, and it doesn't matter if you want to submit a manuscript, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky.

It's no wonder that such a literary journal doesn't die!

Third, too many writers of pure literature think too highly of themselves to put down the shelves, and often elevate themselves to the position of God in their fantasies, and regard the reader as the object of education.

They believe that what they write is pure literature, the most elegant spiritual food, and contains the supreme truth and philosophy of life, and it is normal to be difficult to understand.

Readers need to worship their works, carefully study them word by word, and spend a lot of time reading them thoroughly, so that they can feel the magic of Daigo's empowerment.

They don't think that readers read your books most of the time for recreation, for physical and mental pleasure, who has the leisure time to read in depth?

If the writer's story is not engaging, if the characters in the story are not moving, in a word, if there is no reading expectation and no sense of substitution, then the reader's first reaction is to close the page and put it back on the shelf.

Since literary works are published, they must be circulated in the market.

Then you have to be put to the test of the reader.

The reader is the true God!

It's no wonder that the writer is in the wrong position, and he doesn't lose everything!

This is the main reason why literature dies and is so abandoned by readers!

Of course, if Xiao Fei's article is only written at this level, it is still relatively superficial. He also wanted to prescribe in his articles a cure for the pathologies of literature.

The recipe is simple: do what you say and stay true to your duty!

Create works, please start from the needs of the people, write works that are close to the reality of life, no matter how innovative your words are, how to play, please write sincere touches, write wonderful characters, and tell enough attractive stories, that is enough.
