In front of the writers of Xiangchenggang, Yang Xia is a junior, so when the host said that the symposium was about to start, Yang Xia smiled apologetically at Han Mingren.

Although Han Mingren is thirty years old, he is also a rookie in literature, and his creative achievements are not as outstanding as Yang Xia, so he is interested in Yang Xia himself, and he is not proud of his age, so Yang Xia's politeness to him is very good for his appetite, at least in Han Mingren's opinion, this guy named Yang Xia is worth befriending.

No matter what kind of society you are in, making friends is about fate. You are well-educated and famous, and others may respect you or dislike you, but to become friends, you really have to have the right appetite.

Yang Xia didn't expect that his politeness would actually meet a friend, this can be regarded as an unexpected joy, to be honest, he has been in Xiangcheng Port for almost half a year, and there is really no one who can be called a friend. Those people at HKU can only be said to be classmates, not friends.

The so-called love house and Wu is what it means, Han Mingren felt that Yang Xia was worth befriending, and even Yang Xia listened carefully to the meeting was regarded by Han Mingren as a serious merit. Later, when Yang Xia's fame was already in the ascendant, Han Mingren recorded this plot in an essay, and in his opinion, compared to Yang Xia, he was not as good as him.

The reason why Yang Xia listened carefully was actually the purpose of "learning".

In his previous life, Yang Xia had participated in many meetings and presided over some meetings, but he had never participated in foreign conferences. The year-end symposium of the Xiangcheng Hong Kong Writers Association can be regarded as Yang Xia's "first time".

The first item of the meeting was to announce the addition of new members of the association. And give new members a three-minute introduction to themselves. According to the host, the Xiangcheng Hong Kong Writers Association has added 12 new members this year, and five of them are unable to attend the symposium because of their busy work, while Yang Xia and other seven people need to come to the stage to give a three-minute self-introduction, which is actually a very short speech.

As a writer, everyone cherishes these three minutes very much, because isn't it the attitude of a writer to let others know about themselves and then read their own works, and become consumers of their own works? So, the kind of writer who is very upright in front of the reader. The kind of writer who is arrogant in the face of writers who are less famous than himself. It can only be said that it is 2B.

After listening to others' self-introductions, Yang Xia walked to the microphone:

"Distinguished Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Yang Xia. Wood Yi Yang. Xia Shangzhou's Xia, from Wucheng in Nanshu, China, is currently a student in the second class of European literature in 1979 at Hongda. I just turned 15 this spring. In July 1978, I began to create literature, the first article "The Story of Lao Ma Mountain" was published in the 9th issue of "Nanshu Writers", the journal of the Nanshu Writers Association of China, in 1978, and the first poetry collection "Fire in Southern Xinjiang" has been published by the Huaxia Writers Publishing House, with a first printing of 3 million copies.

Since September last year, he has been publishing his works in newspapers and magazines in Xiangcheng Port and Baodao, and yesterday he was informed that his short story "The Wolf Comes" will win the 1979 United Daily News Short Story Award. As a literary newcomer, the main purpose of joining the Hong Kong Writers Association is to learn from my predecessors and how to become an excellent writer. Thank you. ”

There is nothing to add oil and vinegar, it is completely objective and true, but when the participating writers heard it, they were very surprised, 3 million copies, or the first printing, oh my God, if this print is in Xiangcheng Port, it is almost a volume per person.

After the introduction of the new writers, there is a brief summary of the work of the Federation. In these summaries, most of them speak in numbers, how many literary salons have been held, how many work seminars have been held, how many works have been published by all members in newspapers and magazines such as Xiangcheng Port and Baodao, how many works have been introduced to the mainland for publication, how many monographs (single books) have been published, what are the most important gains, how many awards have been won by writers inside and outside Hong Kong, and how many works recommended by the Association and approved by the Hong Kong government will be awarded the "Xiangcheng Hong Kong Literature Award", etc.;

In addition, how many times we have raised funds for writers in difficulty, how many times we have provided solidarity with writers who have been wronged, and how many times we have communicated with writers from outside Hong Kong, etc., the summary is like a running account, but it is also cordial and credible, because most of the people here are witnesses and participants.

Yang Xia's energy is destined to be remembered once in the report, and there is still room to study the people present, but it is obvious that Jin Dada did not come to the venue, and even the Ni family brothers and sisters did not appear, among the Xiangcheng Port writers that Yang Xia has an impression of, only one "Xiangcheng Port Talented Girl" came to the meeting site, but this Xiangcheng Port Talent Girl has only started to create in recent years, and only three collections have been published at this time.

Although she is a "talented girl", she was born in 1948, and she is 32 years old this year, and she is completely an "aunt" level of cunzài, so Yang Xia has lost interest in getting acquainted.

Just when Yang Xia thought that the symposium would end peacefully, the last program of the conference, "free speech", began. Those who wish to speak can have a 10-minute opportunity on the podium.

Yang Xia naturally has no interest in doing this kind of Raushzi speech, but Yang Xia's lack of interest does not mean that he is fine. After the first person talked about the way out of Xiangchenggang literature, a person came up and pointed the finger at Yang Xia!

The man was speaking in English, but Yang Xia was able to understand it perfectly.

"Writers' Union, why did you recruit a person from the Red Country into this association? If he spreads red rhetoric at meetings, who can afford to take that responsibility? If there are some toxic elements hidden in his work that are not discovered by the editors, who is responsible? Therefore, I propose to expel Yang Xia from membership, and mobilize all writers and publishers to boycott the publication of Yang Xia's works! This man wears tortoiseshell glasses and has a bunch of white hair on his forehead, let's call it "white turtle".

Bai Mao's speech made Yang Xia a little embarrassed, and at the same time a little caught off guard. Yang Xia came to Xiangcheng Port, but he didn't interact with people much in half a year, especially the writers in Xiangcheng Port, and he didn't know anyone.

However, this reminded Yang Xia of the legend about the writers of Xiangchenggang in later generations, saying that before the new millennium, the writers of Xiangchenggang had been divided into two factions, one was duì mainland affection, sympathy and understanding of the state of the mainland, and was called leftist; The other faction is anti-mainland and is generally referred to as the rightist. At that time, Yang Xia remembered that there was a saying that what was anti-mainland was an attitude, a faction, and there was no reason at all, they were purely anti-mainland, that is, they were uncomfortable and uncomfortable with the mainland.

Now, Yang Xia has just encountered this situation, this "white mao", there is no reason, it is blindly anti-mainland, so even Yang Xia, a person from the mainland, is unprincipled anti-this, in short, this situation is equivalent to everyone is a civilized person, just you are a primitive person came to the civilized people, and all oppose the people/rights given to primitive people.

Yang Xia was just embarrassed for less than five seconds, and his heart was clear, because this is not Yang Xia's problem, presumably the federation made this decision, and must have investigated Yang Xia, besides, there are also writers in Xiangcheng Port who have been to Beijing in the early years, such as the famous Liang Yusheng, who once attended the National Day reception with the delegation of Xiangcheng Port writers, which means that the mainland and Xiangcheng Port have not completely severed their relations. As an upper-level figure in the Writers' Federation, it is impossible not to conduct an investigation into Yang Xia.

Sure enough, Yang Xia's idea was established, and after the "Bai Mao" stepped off the podium, the original host came up and said: "Mr. Yang Xia, don't affect your judgment of Xiangcheng Port and the Xiangcheng Port Writers Union because of this kind of family words. The decision of the Writers' Union to admit you to the Federation as a member is based solely on the artistic quality of your literary works, and has no relationship with the individual's age, gender, ethnicity, place of birth, beliefs, etc. ”

"Thank you, host," Yang Xia didn't want to go on stage to say, but since the host made this conclusion, Yang Xia couldn't hide aside, he had to fight back, "This writer just now, I don't know his name, but he is wearing a tortoiseshell glasses, indicating that he has a high level of knowledge, as a Chinese breed, he can actually give a speech in English, which is really standard; Coupled with the fact that he has a touch of white hair on his forehead, he looks very mature, and these two traits combine to make me think he should be called 'Mr. White Turtle'. ”

"Mr. Bai Mao, I think that before discussing who is right and who is wrong, we should first determine a few principles: first, where is the boundary between our symposium and free speech? May I understand that if Mr. Bai Mao's words are true, then this symposium should be changed to a racial symposium; Or secondly, the debate on social systems? Or for the third, the trial of writers? Or is this the freedom that Mr. Bai Mao praises? ”

Yang Xia's words can be described as extremely sharp, and hundreds of writers on the scene were all stunned by Yang Xia, and then, Yang Xia said: "Here, I have no intention of debating whether the red of the mainland is good or the white of Xiangcheng Port is good, I just want to tell you a truth, the times are advancing, the world is advancing!" Three hundred years ago, most of the capitalists in Europe were slave traders, and they dug their first pot of gold, do you think they are noble? In the eyes of the traditional aristocracy, that is, the ancestors of the liberal system in the eyes of Bai Mao, they were nothing more than butchers and outbursts; A hundred years ago, London in England was smoky and polluted, can you insist that it is paradise? If the people of the United States were not supported by the global currency, the rice dollar, how comfortable would his government be? Europe's development is nothing more than plundering the world's resources; The sudden riches of the United States are nothing more than the makers of trade rules. ”

"They are not something to be proud of, they are only how many years old, there is an old saying in China, each has three hundred years, do they have three hundred years of history? Britain has been around for 300 years, but haven't the British themselves fallen into a second-rate country? As for Huaxia, at least in 5,000 years of history, it is 4,700 years ahead of the world!
