At home, the Nationalist Government of Guangzhou, which had just won a phased victory in the Northern Expedition, broke with the Soviet Union, and both Shanghai and Guangzhou fell into chaos.

The root of this matter is still with Sun Zhongshan.

Union with the Soviet Union was Sun Zhongshan's intention, but there were always different voices within the Nationalist Government in Guangzhou.

There was also a dispute over this, which was forcibly suppressed by Sun Zhongshan, and since Sun Zhongshan's death, the opposition has been growing day by day.

The end result was this incident.

At this time, Lin Zixuan was writing "Jinghua Smoke Cloud" on the cruise ship.

The timeline of the novel "Jinghua Smoke and Clouds" extends from 1900 to 1938, showing the historical style of China in the past 30 years, which can be said to be a history of modern China.

The novel has been serialized in the supplement of The News, Happy Forest.

However, the serialization is intermittent, this is because Lin Zixuan is relatively busy, and the time for writing is getting less and less.

This is the price of fame, he is not a literati who lives solely on manuscript fees, and there are still many things to do.

Besides, if the novel is written quickly, once it exceeds the current year, it will not be written, and you cannot write the story of 1928 in 1927.

Therefore, Lin Zixuan has been writing very slowly, and Yan Duhe has not urged the draft.

With Lin Zixuan's status in the literary world at this time, Yan Duhe felt lucky to be able to serialize this kind of novel in the newspaper.

This is no longer the time when Lin Zixuan wrote "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and now I am afraid that no one can ask Lin Zixuan to serialize the novel in the newspaper.

By this time, "Jinghua Smoke and Clouds" had already had a taste of a masterpiece.

There are many aspects included in the novel. There are good stories, there are philosophies. There are historical interpretations and changes in customs. There is deep talk, there is gossip.

It tells in detail how Chinese men and women in this era grow up, how they live, how they love, how they hate, how they develop certain living habits, and how they form certain ways of thinking.

In particular, the Taoist thought in it, in the earthly life of seeking things, people, and achieving things, how to adapt to the times and the environment.

It's not just a novel.

Ordinary readers see stories of grievances between men and women, writers see the "Dream of the Red Chamber" style of writing, philosophers see Taoist culture, and sociologists see a picture of Beiping's social customs.

This is a historical legend during the Republic of China.

Starting from the serialization of "Jinghua Smoke and Clouds". It has been followed by countless literary critics.

Now there will be no more criticism, they are curious about how far this novel can go, whether Lin Zixuan can control such a complicated plot, and whether he will be unable to control it in the end, leaving regrets.

After the propaganda of "Red Studies" by the research school, many readers accepted the theory that the last 40 chapters of "Dream of Red Mansions" were a continuation of the writing.

"Jinghua Smoke and Clouds" can't be compared with "Dream of Red Mansions", but it has a few red mansion charms, but I don't know what the ending will be, and I hope it won't end up like "Dream of Red Mansions".

According to the later generations of online articles. That is, don't mess with it.

It makes sense for them to think so, and the story of 1926 has been serialized in the newspapers, and judging from the plot of the novel, there is a lot of foreshadowing that has not been unfolded, and many characters have just appeared. Apparently there are still many stories to be told.

Could it be that the novel would have come to an abrupt end in 1927?

Literary critics have speculated that the novel is clearly an ambitious work, judging by the way it was written.

Lin Zixuan wants to write a history for this era. So when will the whole story be written?

Will I stop writing in this era, or will I write in a few decades. Lin Zixuan did not give an explanation for this.

The reason why he didn't explain it was because he also didn't think it through.

On the cruise. He has free time, and he has written a few chapters in the past few days, and he has written the story of 1927, should he still write it?

If you write it again, it's not a story, it's a prophecy, and it's not a good story to write.

Writing a novel is inevitably mixed with the author's views and attitudes, and historical events or criticism or support will be presented in the story.

In "Jinghua Smoke and Clouds", a large number of historical events are interspersed.

Including the Boxer Rebellion, the Xinhai Revolution, Yuan Shikai's usurpation of the country, Zhang Xun's restoration, the Zhifeng War, the warlord secession, the May Fourth New Culture, the March 18 tragedy, the pen war between the "Yusi School" and the "Modern Critics", the youth "****", the outbreak of World War II, and so on.

The author's political leanings and attitude to life are among them.

Taking the pen battle between the "Silk School" and the "Modern Critics" as an example, Lin Yutang is a member of the Silk School, and he naturally leans towards the Silk School between the lines, believing that he is on the side of justice.

Now that Lin Zixuan writes it, it will be very different, and it will be relatively fair, which is determined by their respective positions.

The author and the novel are inseparable, which is called Wen Ruqi.

"Jinghua Smoke and Clouds" is a novel written by Lin Zixuan, and readers will take it for granted that this is Lin Zixuan's attitude.

In the future, many people will judge Lin Zixuan's thoughts and character by studying Lin Zixuan's novels, so as to determine what kind of person he is, and finally close the coffin.

But they don't know that these novels were not written by Lin Zixuan, he is not the original author, he is just the porter of the novels.

However, this does not prevent later generations from judging Lin Zixuan through novels.

Therefore, the story of 1927 in "Jinghua Smoke and Clouds" is not easy to write, and he even wants to end it abruptly.

Lin Zixuan's mind was a little disturbed, so he put down his pen, walked out of the cabin, and came to the deck to look at the sea.

On an April day, it is neither hot nor cold, the sea breeze blows, with a salty taste, and you can vaguely see the appearance of the island in the distance, which is the Indian Ocean.

After standing for a while, my mood relaxed, and the irritability gradually faded away.

It occurred to him that someone would write a biography of him many years later, and he didn't know what it would look like.

Whether it is a positive character or a villain who is criticized, whether it is admired or vilified.

Years later, the world will judge him by what he does at this moment, or his attitude, the novels he writes, and so on.

However, how should this page of history be written?

Lin Zixuan thought about it and decided not to think about the future, and to follow his own heart, so that is his true temperament.

If there is really a biography about him in later generations, he hopes that the name of the biography will be "The Great Writer of the Republic of China".

On a cruise, I have a lot of free time, except for writing, and I can only chat with people

Xu Zhimo and Yu Dafu are both leaders in the literary world of this era, although they have different personalities, they can talk very well.

For more than a year, Xu Zhimo has been in Beiping, Yu Dafu is in Guangzhou, and Lin Zixuan is in Shanghai, and the three of them have lived in three cities, so they naturally have different experiences.

The oppressive rule of Beiping, the national revolution in Guangzhou, and the changes in Shanghai.

Three people are three worlds, and it is also a miniature China. (To be continued.) )
