Xu Zhimo had this plan before returning to China.

It is true that new literature in China is booming, but it also faces many practical difficulties, that is, it cannot be accepted by the vast consumer group, that is, readers.

In this era, there were not many people who read books, and even fewer of these readers liked new literature, which created a situation of applause.

The newspapers were bustling with arguments, and it seemed that the new literature was thriving.

But there aren't many bookstores that are really willing to publish new literary books.

Some bookstores publish such books not to make money, but to make a name for themselves, because they only publish the works of writers who have a reputation in the new literature, such as Lu Xun and Hu Shi.

As for the works of other new literary writers, it is extremely difficult to get published.

As in later generations, purely literary books can never be compared to entertaining books.

Therefore, many new literary groups will raise their own money to set up bookstores, such as the more famous Beixin Bookstore.

Beixin Bookstore comes from the Xinchao Club of Peking University and is supported by Lu Xun.

"After May Fourth, Peking University became the center of the leadership of the new trend of thought, at that time the publishing industry was extremely silent, most of them failed to undertake the task of publishing, Li Xiaofeng and others learned from Si, inherited the spirit of the Xinchao Society of Peking University to organize a publishing institution, named Beixin, and issued books on new literature, art and new trends of thought, and the books published in a short period ......of time became popular all over the country."

This is the current state of new literary book publishing.

After three years of development, the new literature has grown from scratch and is well known to the public, and the next step will be an uphill battle with the old literature for the publishing market.

Why did the Literary Research Society go to war with the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly faction?

In addition to the difference on the road of literature, the competition for the market is also an important reason, only by defeating the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly faction, can we win over readers and make new literature more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

This involves survival and interests, and it is a long-term and difficult task.

In fact, the entertainment and pastime novels represented by the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School have never died out, but have flourished even more in later generations.

Xu Zhimo understands the current predicament of new literature, so he wants to pull Lin Zixuan into the gang.

On the one hand, Lin Zixuan's reputation can be borrowed to gather a group of intellectuals who are inclined to Western thought.

On the other hand, it is borrowed from Lin Zixuan's publishing and distribution channels.

Lin Zixuan warmly received this former good roommate.

The two chatted about some past events in the United States, and talked about Xu Zhimo's interactions with those British intellectual elites in Britain.

Lin Zixuan didn't expect that he accidentally became popular in the UK, which was an unintentional move.

In fact, as "The Old Man and the Sea" and "The Little Prince" slowly become well-known, he will become more and more popular in the Western world.

Lin Zixuan was quite hesitant to set up a literary group, he did not want to be confined to a certain group.

He came from later generations and knew that Xu Zhimo's Crescent Society was a literary group with complex members, and it had great achievements in poetry creation, and the connection between members was relatively loose.

Within these two years, a large number of literary groups will emerge and then disband, and those that can sustain more than ten years will leave their own traces in the history of modern literature.

But it's not good for him to refuse directly.

After all, Xu Zhimo personally invited him, and the relationship between the two was not bad.

He could only vaguely say that he was busy with banking affairs and film companies, and that he was in Shanghai, so he did not have time to participate in the activities of literary groups, for fear of causing bad repercussions.

As for the issue of publishing books, Lin Zixuan agreed.

As long as it is not a book with too radical ideas, Vientiane Book Company can publish it, not to mention that Xu Zhimo's poetry is full of romanticism, and it is still very marketable in this era.

Coupled with his untimely death, it is legendary......

By the way, should you remind him not to take cheap flights?

Forget it, it's still too early, who knows what will happen in the middle, and saying such things inexplicably will offend people.

Lin Zixuan suppressed the impulse in his heart and smiled at Xu Zhimo.

Xu Zhimo looked at Lin Zixuan's sudden weird smile, and didn't know why he was suddenly shocked in his heart.

He didn't stay long in Shanghai and went to Beiping.

The reason is very simple, Xu Zhimo has divorced his wife in March, and of course he has to go to Beiping to pursue Lin Huiyin.

Before returning to China, he found himself a job as an English secretary at the Songpa Library, founded by Liang Qichao.

The Songpa Library has two courtyards, one is at No. 7 Shihu Hutong near Xidan, and the other is at Kuaixuetang in Beihai Park, where he lives in his old mansion at No. 7 Shihu Hutong.

Here's another interesting fact.

Liang Qichao's son, Liang Sicheng, is courting Lin Huiyin, and the two often meet in Kuaixue Hall in Beihai Park and have trysts in the library to read books.

Xu Zhimo often ran over to disturb, which made Liang Sicheng very annoyed, so he posted a note on the door of the library, which said, "Lover does not want to be disturbed".

After coming to Beiping, Xu Zhimo not only knew how to pursue Lin Huiyin, he also made friends with literati in the Beiping literary circle, and published poems in Hu Shi's "Endeavor Weekly".

Maybe Lin Zixuan didn't refuse too clearly, maybe Xu Zhimo didn't make it clear, anyway, he often mentioned Lin Zixuan's name when he was wooing other literati.

As a result, many literati believe that this Crescent Society was founded by Lin Zixuan, and the poems and articles of the Crescent Society were also published and distributed by Vientiane Books.

Lin Zixuan was the founder of new poetry, and it was natural to create a literary group based on poetry.

Xu Zhimo became the spokesperson of this literary group in Beiping, and a group of poets or scholars who were summoned by Lin Zixuan's reputation gradually gathered at No. 7 Shihu Hutong.

This is how the prototype of the Crescent Society was formed.

Lin Zixuan, who was far away in Shanghai, had no idea that he had created a literary group and had become the mastermind.

He didn't pay much attention to the things in the literary world in Beiping, and he didn't know what happened until Zheng Zhenduo, the editor of "Novel Monthly", told him about it.

I haven't been the boss for years!

The matter has come to this point, Lin Zixuan doesn't know what to say, and denying it is useless, this is a matter that can't be explained, only pay attention in the future, don't get too close to those people.

In November 1922, an American named Osborne ordered a set of radio broadcasting equipment from the United States to Shanghai.

The amateurs of the Shanghai International Radio Association became excited and enthusiastically helped Ausborne install the equipment and debug it, and they erected two large antennas about 70 meters above the ground on the roof of the building.

There were also a large number of radios that were shipped with the ship.

In order to make money, Osborne immediately began marketing his radio in Shanghai, claiming to receive a radio station in a few days.

Lin Zixuan also got an ore radio, and he heard Douglas Sheila say that this thing is easy to assemble and has no technical content.

He secretly looked for Chinese radio enthusiasts, ready to study and imitate this ore radio.

Our slogan is: cottages should start from the Republic of China.
