Chapter 300: The Affirmation of the Big Man

"A work of absurdity to the point of absurdity!"

"Meaningless fairy tales!"

"There is no basis, like the dreams of a dreamer, the story has no logic at all, this is a failed work!"

"Nonsensical!"

Those who oppose Su Wen and look down on Su Wen seem to have suddenly found a way to attack, and regard the writing of "Little Silk in Wonderland" as an absurd technique, which is very disrespectful to Chinese literati who have always admired tradition.

They seemed to have grasped Su Wen's weakness and spared no effort to attack, on the Internet and in the newspapers, public opinion seemed to be overturned.

Not to mention picking a bone in the egg, once a person decides that someone is not good, then he must find all kinds of reasons, and he can also say the truth, looking very reasonable.

And people who say good do not have a certain level of literary literacy, and they can't say that the title of the book is good, they just think it's "good", and the reason for this can't be said.

"Little Silk in Wonderland" encountered such an encounter, and people who are a little childlike find it very interesting to read it, especially those children, it seems to have been written to their hearts.

But the child's right to speak is too small to form the power of public opinion, so within two or three days of the end of the Wonderland serial, public opinion attacking and abusing Su Wen can be seen everywhere.

In the face of such a situation, Su Wen couldn't do anything, he couldn't sell himself and boast about how good Sleepwalking in Wonderland was, after all, it was just a fairy tale.

The "Kyoto Life" newspaper, which has the power of public opinion in the media, was a little excited when it saw such a situation, and they wished that public opinion would come more violently.

Only by arguing can they have another gimmick and attract the reader's eye. to get their sales. So, don't expect them to concentrate on shouting for Su Wen or something, yes, they can publish some articles in support of Su Wen, but, on the same page. They will also publish articles that attack Su Wen.

They will not let go of both positive and negative public opinions!

This is how the press survives.

The attack was fierce and public opinion was noisy, and finally aroused a powerful person to jump out to support Su Wen.

He published a book review called "Absurdity Can Cause Peaks" directly in the "Kyoto Life Newspaper" under the energetic name, specifically commenting on the fairy tale "Little Silk in Wonderland".

The original text goes something like this:

……

In fact, when I finished reading "Little Silk in Wonderland", I didn't plan to write an article about it. Because the readability of this little book is self-explanatory, under the witty and vivid language of the original book, it is superfluous to do anything extra. But in the past two days, public opinion has given it the title of "absurd", which has surprised me too much. I have to be cheeky to talk about it.

Speaking of absurdity, what's the first name that pops into your mind? Wang Tianming's "Empty City", Wang Wang's "Insider"? I guess it won't be "Little Silk in Wonderland". But, believe it or not, this children's story has an unforgettable label in my heart - the peak of absurdist works!

For literature, absurdity is not a shameful thing, on the contrary, it is an unattainable literary realm. It's a great thing to be able to write a story into an absurd work. In my eyes. "Little Silk in Wonderland" is an absurdist work, and it is still an indelible peak.

Indeed, anyone who has read "Wonderland" cannot deny that the book, from the characters, the narrative, the description to the dialogue, is absurd all the way to the end: rats and ducks quarreling over unclear pronouns; spitting smoke rings, seeing that people ignore it. Mr. Caterpillar, who likes to ask "who are you"; the soft-shelled turtle that has no tragic experience but cries all day long; And, of course, the never-ending Crazy Tea Party and the Court of First Judgment and Second Trial. However, don't preconceive that it's normal to be annoyed by these nonsensical things, she is thinking about how to curtsy in the process of falling into the black hole, and conceives a snail-type rhyme before the other party tells the story - it is really absurd to the bone!

Although it is so absurd, the writer Su Wen is not nonsense. He is so absurd that it is convincing. In this fairy tale, he alludes to a lot of realistic things. This kind of film and television has both irony, reflection, and feelings. Although it has the coat of absurd modern works, it implies the elegance of classicism - in the absurd, in the bizarre, in the black humor, to achieve an immersive sense of reality.

This is the greatness of "Little Silk Wonderland"!

In fact, if you want to talk about literary achievements, and look at Xiao Si'er's self-talk about the stream of consciousness to the sea and the sky; Hilarious author comments in parentheses throughout the third-person perspective that provide insight into the characters' hearts. But don't underestimate those nonsensical rhymes that are easy to pick up, many of which are from well-known nursery rhyme poems. Avant-garde enough postmodern, right? Of course, there are funny adjectives like puns, jokes, etc., but these are rooted in deeper literary traditions.

The beauty of "Little Silk in Wonderland" lies in the art that balances it: the balance between fun and profundity; The balance between the absurd and the real. When the story is entangled in a certain absurd detail, the author can stop in time and continue the plot. I told an interesting story honestly and uncreatively. His wonderlands are full of flowers, all kinds of strange and lovely creatures. Unbelievable dialogues, illogical events, and, of course, if you prefer, explore the irony, alienation and even class oppression behind the story. But the writer has his principle: let those who love to think think, and those who are too lazy to think can laugh.

Finally, I think we see in a young writer who is not yet twenty years old a giant of absurdist literature!

……

As soon as the book review of "Absurdity Can Create Peaks" came out, all the people who opposed the attack on Su Wen couldn't help but breathe and were speechless.

Because its author's name is Shui Tianyi!

Shui Tianyi, the president of the Imperial Association!

He may not be a writer in the literary world, but he must be a literary giant, not to mention that he controls the Writers' Association, which has millions of writers in the empire.

In terms of power and influence in the cultural world, he belongs to one of the few people in the literary circle of the Chinese Empire!

He published an article in support of Su Wen openly and honestly, and gave enough praise, which made it impossible for people to refute it anymore. Can you say that your literary literacy is even higher than that of Shui Tianyi?

It's a joke for sure!

People who don't want to be reduced to jokes, even if they don't recognize Su Wen, they won't explicitly oppose Shui Tianyi.

Shui Tianyi's appearance completely stopped those who attacked Su Wen, and they no longer had any interest in insulting.

This is the energy of the Imperial Writers' Association!

And when another foreign celebrity echoed Shui Tianyi and published a book review on "Little Silk in Wonderland" called "All the Precious Gather Feelings Here", the criticism was completely settled, and the title and title of Su Wen's "Fairy Tale Master" were completely implemented. )
