Ba Jin traveled south to visit the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

The news spread quickly and attracted the attention of many Hong Kong media.

As a result, the media flocked to it.

However, when they arrived at CUHK, they were told that Ba Jin had visited Chinese University of Hong Kong, and when they learned that Lin Jing was on campus, they actually visited in person and had a good conversation in the café of the Qian Mu Library.

Ba Jin is one of the most influential writers since the May Fourth New Culture Movement, an outstanding Chinese literary master in the 2O century, and a giant in China's contemporary literary circle.

Moreover, in China in the 2o century, there has always been a legend of Lu Guo Mao, Ba Lao Cao, such a ranking.

Lu is naturally Lu Xun, Guo is Guo Moruo, and Mao is Mao Dun; Ba is Ba Jin, Lao She is always Lao She, and Cao is Cao Yu.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that there is no first and no second. After all, in terms of writing, when everyone is about the same level, they are all benevolent and wise.

But being able to rank among the top writers of that era is almost a reflection of the level.

Of course, in later generations, the authority of this ranking has been questioned because of various problems.

For example, Lu Guomao, the second-ranked Guo Guo Moruo, was labeled as a slave, a negative man, and a lewd man because of all kinds of unbearable behaviors. But we all know that this is all an evaluation of character and morality, and it has nothing to do with literature.

What's more, in the critics' circles, they have always liked and used to buttoning their hats. No matter what you do, if you want to criticize you and knock you down, don't care about anything else, put a big hat on you.

Take a small example in the era of online writing, as long as the author writes the online articles of the Qing Dynasty, as long as he does not rebel and overthrow the Qing Dynasty from the beginning, even if he implements a reform policy, those so-called Red Guards of the Han Dynasty will give the author a hat of a clean demon, a minion, and a manchurian legacy, no matter how the article is written.

Another example. Ba Lao Cao, what do you say, Ba Jin can't be compared with Lao Cao at all.

Because Lao She was nominated for the Dynamite Literature Award for "The Story of Cat City", if he hadn't committed suicide by jumping into Taiping Lake, the Dynamite Literature Award would not have had to wait for Mo Yan in later generations, and he would have gotten it decades earlier.

In fact, the so-called dynamite award, even Okuhei won the dynamite peace award, and he looks like a real earth policeman. We don't have to take it too seriously.

Finally, speaking of Ba Jin, in later generations, he was considered to have been completely blown up by Guo Xiaosi, and it was as many as a few streets.

However, this is all the future generations, the economic development. People's hearts are impetuous, money worship is prevalent, and there are not many people who can calm down and do learning. No matter how ridiculous and ridiculous things are, they can become popular all over the world because of hype.

Don't bother with it.

Ba Jin such, moral aspect.

During the special period, Ms. Huang Zongying said that he was like a calm old man in a Nordic pencil drawing. Although there is a saying, it is difficult for eternity to die alone. But sometimes, it's harder to live than to die. Because if you die, you will be gone, and you don't have to care about the flood after death. And to live, you have to endure unimaginable pain and suffering.

Ba Jin walked out of "hell" alive, and then wrote "Caprice", dissecting himself and the mistakes of the special period, telling the truth, and being a serious person.

Alone. Mistakes will inevitably be made. Therefore, making mistakes is not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is that you know that you have made mistakes, but you do everything possible to cover them up, instead of correcting them when you know your mistakes, and you will make mistakes again and again, and finally sink.

As Jia Pingwa said: Ba Lao's works are there. Those articles, those words, those people who do not have great courage and noble personality, cannot write them. Unspeakable.

Therefore, he is known as the "conscience of China in the twentieth century" with a pure heart!

And in terms of literary achievements, there are countless achievements.

Even the magazine he founded, "Harvest", is also very good.

From the list of authors in the above table, we can get a glimpse of one or two: Mo Yan, Lu Yao, Wang Meng, Yu Hua's, Jia Pingwa, Wang Anyi, Wang Shuo, Shi Tiesheng, Han Shaogong, and so on.

This list includes Nobel Prize winners in literature, best-selling novel authors, and ...... Each of them, in the field of traditional literature, can be said to be a prince.

Of course, more importantly, these literary powerhouses are proud to be able to publish their novels in the magazine "Harvest".

The year before last, in 1982, Italy awarded him the "Dante International Prize"; Last year, in 1983, France awarded him the "Legion of Honor"; He was also selected as one of the "Seven Cultural Celebrities of the World" by PEN International at the 47th Congress.

Ba Jin, who is a highly praised and exemplary master in both morality and writing, is naturally proud of everyone to communicate with such a master.

In the 80s, it was considered by many to be the freest, happiest, and most promising era in China. In this era, a hundred wastes are waiting to be rebuilt, new literature is rising, and everyone is proud to recite poetry and read literature.

In a cultural desert like Hong Kong, Ba Jin is even more revered.

The arrival of Ba Jin made the Hong Kong literary scene boil for a few days. The four great talents came, the second- and third-rate talents also came, and in the end, as long as they were engaged in writing work, they also came to watch the master's demeanor. The whole CUHK was bustling like a vegetable market.

And the Hong Kong literary circle also commented on this: "No one gets old because he lives a few more years, and he is only old because he has given up his ideals." The years wrinkle the skin, and the loss of enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. ”

Moreover, it is rumored that one of the purposes of Ba Jin's visit to Hong Kong Chinese University is that the University of Hong Kong Chinese will confer on him an honorary doctorate of letters.

So, after Ba Jin came to Hong Kong, there were several headlines in the newspapers.

"Vice Chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) Ba Jin is visiting CUHK in Hong Kong."

"Ba Jin, a master of literature, exchanges literature with Lin Jing, the first talented woman in Hong Kong."

……

In fact, the so-called literary exchange is not a thing at all.

Lin Jing and Ba Jin, as well as Professor Wang Limin next to them, talked mostly about things that had nothing to do with literature. For example, some situations in China, such as Ba Jin's invitation to Lin Jing to go north, visit Wèn's "Harvest" magazine, give a speech at a university in the mainland, and so on.

But the media doesn't think so, because Lin Jing has been recognized by everyone as the first talented woman in Hong Kong. Now that Ba Jin, Taishan Beidou, is here, and he has taken the initiative to put Lin Jing's position as high as him, does it mean that Lin Jing has ......

Well, everyone admits that the idea behind the ellipsis is too arrogant. But with such a play, can it be considered that the geographical restrictions in front of the first talented woman, the word "Hong Kong" can be removed?

It seems that everyone is honored to do so.

As a result, the media became even more crazy, and Lin Jing was shot while lying down, was tracked by major media, couldn't even eat when she went to the restaurant, and was finally forced to stay in the dormitory and couldn't go out. It was not until Ba Jin left Hong Kong to represent China at the 47th International PEN Conference in Tokyo, Japan, that he stopped.

God is pitiful, Lin Jing has no ambition to fight for any first talented woman at all.
