Chapter 91 Annual Conference of Chinese Literature
Early the next morning, the sleepy-eyed Li Bai had to get up and leave the hospital.
In the morning, Professor Mogu made a special call, and the annual conference of Chinese literature will be held at Huaxia University this morning. Li Bai was also unprepared in his heart, he was too busy during this time, and completely left this matter behind. I also remembered just now that today is New Year's Day. I didn't expect the days to pass so quickly, and it has been half a year since I came here unconsciously.
In fact, Li Bai is very reluctant to participate in this kind of conference, to be honest, this kind of conference is not only pretending to be forced but slapping his face, and there are fewer and fewer people who actually discuss literature. It's not as pure as it used to be. Of course, it cannot be denied that there are still many people who do go for literary exchanges. However, whether there is something to gain after going is a matter of wisdom for the benevolent and wise.
After arriving at Huaxia University, I found that there were a lot of people today, and all kinds of famous cars were also crowded in the parking lot. Li Bai asked Zhang Qiang to wait outside, while he followed the crowd and walked in alone. It's not that I don't want to bring Zhang Qiang, but only one person can go in for each invitation. It is worth mentioning that Li Bai also bought a set of clothes for this purpose today, after all, Professor Mogu invited him to come, and if he wore it too casually, it would embarrass Professor Mogu.
After Li Bai entered, he was very low-key, and his body was disguised in advance. In fact, he was too worried, even if he didn't pretend to be a person, there weren't many people who knew him, after all, most of the people who came today were literary masters and their students and disciples. These people pay relatively little attention to entertainment, and some masters are also a little biased against celebrities, which may be the reason why they are too deeply influenced by traditional literature.
I followed everyone to the place of today's meeting, the largest auditorium of Huaxia University, and it is also the place where the teachers and students of the university hold ceremonies. Today's venue is also specially decorated, the surroundings are very tidy, there are many flowers, and drinks and some fresh fruits are placed in front of each position. When Li Bai came in, the seats inside were almost full, and he quickly found a place in the back corner to sit down.
He didn't go out of his way to contact Professor Mogu, he just thought that he would just leave after the conference, anyway, just come here.
But can it really be as he wishes?
After sitting down, he picked up the melon seeds and ate them without any scruples, and the "Kaka" sound was loud, and the two people sitting next to him frowned.
Li Bai smiled at them, and said hello. But the two just smiled reluctantly, which was a response, and then ignored him. And deliberately distanced himself from him, as if he felt very embarrassed to sit with someone like him.
"Welcome to all friends in the literary circle, and welcome to the 18th Annual Conference of Chinese Literature hosted by Huaxia University! Now I would like to invite Professor Pang Tong, Vice President of Huaxia University, to give a speech to you! After a while, when everyone was almost there, a host came up to the stage and said.
As the host's words fell, there was a burst of fierce applause. And Li Bai also applauded with everyone, although he didn't like to participate in this kind of conference, but applauding was a minimum of respect for others.
With applause, one of the dozen or so gray-haired old professors sitting on the rostrum took the microphone and said: "Welcome to the elites of discourse and literature from all over the world, colleagues and professors who participated in the conference, thank you for coming to participate in the annual conference of Chinese literature hosted by our university. Our Chinese literature is ......
The theme of this annual conference is 'On the Integration of Traditional Chinese Literature and Modern Literature'. Now I have invited Professor Yi Yongjian of Jinling University to give a speech, he is the most outstanding young generation in the literary world! ”
Professor Pang Tong spoke for sixty or seventy minutes, and everyone at the scene was also drowsy. It is worth mentioning that Professor Pang Tong did not bring a manuscript at all, and he could speak for more than an hour without a script, and he still looked unsatisfied. If the host hadn't secretly given him a look, it was estimated that he would have been able to talk for another hour.
"Poof," Li Bai, who was drinking water, squirted out directly when he heard Professor Pang Tong's last words. Your sister, this Yi Yongjian is fifty or sixty years old, and he is still called the younger generation. However, seeing the person in front of him turn around angrily, Li Bai quickly wiped his back with a tissue and apologized in a low voice. And he sat in the back position, and there were too many people on the scene, so everyone didn't notice the situation here. However, there are exceptions, two of the professors on the stage have been staring at Li Bai, and when they saw Li Bai looking over, they nodded at Li Bai kindly.
Li Bai also smiled awkwardly at them, in fact, he could probably guess the identity of one of the two, and one of them must be Professor Mogu, after all, there are not many people who know him here.
"Whether it is ancient literature or modern literature, it is rigorous, and its status cannot be replaced by fast food literature like the online literature that is now circulating on the Internet. Some people want to enter the literary world through one or two online novels, which is a naked insult to our entire literary world. I won't say who it is, it's just an artist who does variety shows. I heard that he also accepted the post of our literary annual conference, but he didn't see others, which is a contempt for the conference and disrespect for all colleagues, this is looking down on everyone! The more Yi Yongjian talked, the more angry he became, since "Expert Forum" lost to "Art Life", he has been unable to raise his head in the variety show industry. In the past, others held him and begged him to do the show, but now he goes on the pole to beg others, and others don't use him.
And the initiator of all this is Li Bai. This time, after hearing that Li Bai received the invitation to the annual conference of Chinese literature, Yi Yongjian was very angry, he thought that he had devoted most of his life to literature, but he had never been invited, and this time he got this opportunity by virtue of his teacher's relationship. And Li Bai, a young man in his twenties, why can he be invited to the annual meeting.
Listening to Yi Yongjian's words, many people couldn't help frowning and looked at Yi Yongjian with some disgust. It's a good literary annual meeting, but now it's so much like a criticism conference, and it's still in front of the world's Chinese literary elites. However, everyone was even more disgusted with Li Bai mentioned by Yi Yongjian, and they even disdained to participate in the annual meeting. The literary giants on the stage also frowned, looked at Professor Pang Tong, and then did not say anything to stop Yi Yongjian. The two old men who had signaled to Li Bai before also looked like they were watching a good show, and a trace of excitement flashed in their eyes.
"Lao Xu, is this what you signaled?"
"Lao Mo, you have wronged me, that is Lao Pang's student on the stage, how can you listen to me. But he did have some holidays with Li Bai, and I just pushed the boat down the river. ”
"You are too damaged, but Li Bai seems to be indifferent, and he still has the heart to eat."
"You wait and see what happens, with what I know about him, he is not a master who easily surrenders."
……
"But that's right, he is also self-aware, and he knows that he will be embarrassed when he comes. After all, literature is not a novel, and you can understand it by writing two crooked poems. It is estimated that he can't figure out the difference between modern poetry and ancient poetry, how can he talk about integration? Yi Yongjian saw that many people in the audience agreed with his point of view, and the more he spoke, the more energetic he became.
Li Bai frowned and looked at the stage, thinking that if I don't see you in general, I will talk more and more energetically. He actually didn't want to cause trouble today, after all, he was invited by Professor Mo, but now it would be too much to be said to be like this and not fight back. And he can also guess that if he endures it today, tomorrow the newspaper will definitely write a report about Li Ren's confession in front of Yi Yongjian.
Then he threw down the melon seed skin in his hand, picked up the cup and drank a few sips of water, then stood up, took off his hat and mask, and said loudly: "Who, I'm here!" ”
Immediately, the eyes of the audience focused on Li Bai, and Li Bai was not too restrained, and walked directly onto the podium under everyone's gaze. At this moment, Yi Yongjian was a little stunned, although he had been belittling Li Bai, he did not dare to deny Li Bai's ability in his heart. The two professors on the stage, Mo Gu and Xu Da, also looked at each other and smiled when they saw Li Bai walking on the stage.
"Thank you today for the invitation from Professor Mogu and the Chinese Literature Conference!" Li Bai directly picked up Yi Yongjian's microphone and said. After the noise at the scene was quieter, he continued: "To be honest, I didn't want to come. Because I know my abilities very well, my literary foundation is really far from that of many people here. But as Professor Yi Yongjian said, if I really don't come, it will be disrespectful to the conference and to all of you. ”
After everyone in the audience heard Li Bai's words, some people also changed their views on him and expressed their understanding. After all, people are just low-key, and they are not as hateful as Yi Yongjian said. But some people listened to Yi Yongjian's words, and some people even couldn't help but ask loudly: "Why did you come here, and what qualifications do you have to stand on the stage?" ”
"Haha, this friend is right, what qualifications do I have to stand here? I would like to express my friend's doubts and Professor Yi Yongjian's doubts in two poems. This friend doesn't have to rush, I'll leave after I'm done! Li Bai said with a smile, not angry. He really didn't want to stay any longer, this kind of meeting was as boring as he expected. The whole conference vividly expressed the four words "literati are light".
Then he pondered for a while, and then said to the audience:
"You don't see, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns.
You don't see it, Gao Tang Mingjing is sad and white-haired, and the morning is like green silk and twilight is like snow.
……
I was born to be useful, and I will come back when my daughter is gone.
……”
"I don't know much literature, I want to talk about my heart, please advise!" Li Bai said with a smile, and without waiting for everyone to speak, he continued to recite:
"Gently I go,
As I come gently;
I beckoned gently,
Be the clouds of the western heavens.
……
I waved my sleeves,
Do not take away a single cloud. ”
After Li Bai finished speaking, he put down the microphone and walked straight towards the exit without looking back.
And everyone at the scene looked at his back and was stunned. Later, when Li Bai walked out of the auditorium, he could still hear the thunderous applause that erupted from inside.
At this moment, Yi Yongjian was also very embarrassed, although Li Bai did not use words to fight back against him. But these two poems are naked slaps in the face, a modern poem and an ancient poem, which fully show Li Bai's poetic skills. And those who questioned and doubted Li Bai just now also felt that their faces were particularly hot at the moment.
Many people were also deeply impressed by Li Bai's literary brilliance, and the sentence "I was born to be useful" also inspired countless young people.
"It's too unusual, what kind of system. What do you think of our literary annual conference? What do you think of us old-timers? What a bastard! Professor Pang Tong couldn't help but slap the table and said, when he looked at Yi Yongjian, he still had an expression of hatred for iron and steel.
"Xiao Pang, that's all you said. Didn't you notice? This Li Bai has a unique style of ancient literati, straightforward and handsome. The oldest professor on the stage couldn't help but admire. He was also a little disappointed in the performance of these people today, such a good person was just thrown away, and he didn't know what to do when he waited for the poetry competition.
And after Li came out, he regretted it a little. I just left like this, and I don't know if it will make Professor Mogu lose face. And since I came here, I haven't said hello to Professor Mo, and I don't even know what he looks like. But now that the incident has happened, it seems that I can only come to the door another day to apologize.
Immediately, Li Bai stopped thinking about these troubles, and directly called Zhang Qiang to rush to the bookstore. I plan to buy some books on business management and so on, after all, he has too little experience in company management.
