"I knew I wouldn't come, what kind of temper did this big boss have, I knew that it was not polite to release pigeons, and it looks like your single book is going to be in the soup again." The editor was so angry that he didn't want to fight, he thought he could talk about a good business, but he didn't expect to play this one.

"If you don't come, you won't come, you can soak in the soup, and if you come in the future, you will have a good meal." Tian Xiaoxiao gave the editor a glass of red wine and handed it to the editor, and took a drink himself.

"I envy you very much, no matter what, you have leisure and elegance, but I don't have any leisure and elegance, I am a widow who has to be busy with your strange temper author all day long, if it weren't for the higher salary of being an editor than being a teacher, I would have gone to teach and educate people by now." The editor didn't want to drink at all, and was still angry with the man who released the pigeons.

"It's okay, another village, what are you afraid of." Tian Xiaoxiao went to pick vegetables for the editor again, and she found that no matter what era she was in, money was the most important thing, and people in every era had to run around for money.

Maybe it's really as Tian Xiaoxiao said, although the boss released their pigeons, but the cooperation was discussed, Tian Xiaoxiao's comic "The Biography of Lao Tzu" was really popular, and it was also printed as a single book.

Tian Xiaoxiao witnessed that "The Legend of Lao Tzu" was loved by children of that generation, and all this became the driving force for her creation.

Tian Xiaoxiao, a lonely beautiful cartoonist, has also made many writer friends, and is much more cheerful than before.

However, Tian Xiaoxiao is still so poor, because the manuscript fee will be suppressed by the people below, plus she is not a person who loves money much, as long as she lives alone, it is enough to have it.

In this era, Tian Xiaoxiao has spent more than 20 years drawing a comic book until the end, giving the children there a childhood.

Later, when the elderly Tian Xiaoxiao fell ill, her hands could no longer hold the pen, and Tian Xiaoxiao lived alone in a small apartment waiting for death.

From time to time, friends will come to visit, and everyone will sigh at her experience, wishing her illness to get better soon, and the disease is getting more and more serious.

Tian Xiaoxiao's former scenery is no longer there, and the torn red sweatshirt she wears all day long is full of patches, if you have money, you can probably cure this sick body, but unfortunately there is no money.

It's about the time of dying.

The editor brought a comic from Hong Kong, which is also called "The Biography of Lao Tzu".

"This ......" Tian Xiaoxiao flipped through it, and his hands trembled so much that he shook the comic book to the ground again.

Tian Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, but smiled.

On the second day, the cartoonist who had brought happiness to countless children in the 80s left, without a suicide note and no friends, leaving only the "Biography of Lao Tzu".

The editor accidentally bought a copy of "The Biography of Lao Tzu" when he was on a business trip in Singapore, but when he opened it, it was not Tian Xiaoxiao's book, but someone else.

And this "The Biography of Lao Tzu" is the childhood of countless post-90s and post-00s, and even created the sentence that where there are Chinese, there is "The Biography of Lao Tzu", which is an example of cultural export, and it is the childhood of generation after generation.

But how dark is there behind this brilliance? No one will care about the tragic old age of the original author, because no one will see her, and the only thing they know and see is Ye Zhe's plagiarized work.

As the original creator, Tian Xiaoxiao and her comic book "The Biography of Lao Tzu" were forgotten by the world together, becoming a grain of sand in the long river of history, fleeting.

The editor contacted the Writers' Association and embarked on a long road of rights protection, perhaps because of the awe of originality, or perhaps because of the tragic experience of old friends, sighing.

However, plagiarists refuse to admit the facts.

Ye Zhe didn't know until he died that the person he plagiarized was actually Tian Xiaoxiao.

In this era, Ye Zhe is actually also a cartoonist, but compared to Tian Xiaoxiao, he is just a third-rate comic that he has never met with talents.

I accidentally borrowed an old book late at night, and the author had the pen name Lan written on it, and Ye Zhe didn't want to read it a few times to express his admiration for his comics.

"What are you drawing?" The people of the publishing house disliked Ye Zhe's works.

"yes, I see." Ye Zhe is such a proud person, but in this era, he has repeatedly hit a wall, and no one seems to be able to appreciate his talent.

Proud like him, he can't accept failure, but it seems that he can't always think of a high-quality plot in his head, and he always thinks that those popular works don't seem to be very good.

Ye Zhe suddenly moved his brain, planning to come to a dove to occupy the magpie's nest, and he also published a book "The Biography of Lao Tzu", with a completely different painting style.

"If I change the style of this book, no one will know that I copied it, and I am in Taiwan, and the book is in the mainland, so he doesn't know it anyway." Ye Zhe used his brain, he admired this book very much.

I didn't copy much, and I didn't copy it much, and I added some new things to think of in the future.

Ye Zhe became famous with his "The Legend of Lao Tzu" for a while, he became a first-class cartoonist, and he enjoyed the dividends even if he was later asked to apologize.

"Recently, the writers' association in the mainland wants to unite to denounce you, is your work really not clean?" The publisher was a little scared.

"Don't care about these people, he just looks at me, and besides, I am a childhood of so many children, they will definitely protect me." Ye Zhe didn't care at all, because he knew that someone would protect him.

However, Tian Xiaoxiao's editor still resolutely defended his rights.

The editor said, "The "Biography of Lao Tzu" written by Lan is the childhood of people in the last century, and the "Biography of Lao Tzu" written by Ye Zhe is the childhood of people in this century, even if the latter has become famous and famous, but we can't deny the mistakes he put down, history may be forgotten, but we exist to make this history can be officially not forgotten by the public." But no matter how much history is forgotten, it still exists, and we can do what we can to reflect on how to not do bad money to drive out good money. ”

Everyone knows that everyone can't wait for an apology, but everyone still supports rights protection so resolutely to denounce plagiarists, in fact, it is just to give an explanation to the original creator Tian Xiaoxiao.

The money-loving editor I met from Maeda Xiaoxiao, since he can also support his rights for the sake of originality.

Ye Zhe refused to apologize, he became a family in this era, and even when he was dying, he refused to admit plagiarism.

When he left, public opinion was full of mourning, and even Hong Kong government officials were deeply distressed.

Both the original and the plagiarist are gone, leaving only the noise of the spectators.

Some people see all kinds of resistance to plagiarized works, but they find that their favorite works in their childhood are plagiarized works, and they turn a blind eye, saying that plagiarism is also a kind of ability, and Ye Zhe, the plagiarist, is a talented person, and most of the plots in the later period were also thought out by Ye Zhe.

Some people can't advise the fans of plagiarists no matter what they say, people use the success theory to explain everything, he is wrong for plagiarism, but he succeeded, he brought us a lot of happiness, he is our childhood!

Some people also say that if there is no plagiarist to carry forward this work, I don't know who the original creator is.

Is it because the plagiarist's work brings joy to everyone that the original sin can be ignored?

The most ridiculous thing is that the last page of Ye Zhe's "The Biography of Lao Tzu" comic actually wrote a statement to resist piracy and support originality.

The editor watched the scolding on the Internet, she was tired, she ran around for a long, long time, but she still didn't wait for Tian Xiaoxiao's apology.

In fact, if the editor is in the current era, the plagiarist's work is her childhood, and the editor will resist it in the same way.

In fact, a large part of the reason for the prevalence of piracy was because of the long period of time and the traffic blockade that caused the information not to circulate to the plagiarists to take advantage of, we didn't know this before, which is understandable, but we know all this truth, can we still sit idly by and turn a blind eye?

Don't turn a blind eye to plagiarism because it is the so-called childhood, no matter how you say that plagiarism is the original sin, the plagiarist is talented or talented, but it is not right or wrong, even if the flesh grows well, the bones are also copied.

Even if there is no plagiarism of the latter, the former is still popular, and the former was once the childhood of a generation, isn't it because the former is good that the latter will plagiarize and try to replace it?

Do you want to watch bad money drive out good money, and a whole cultural industry and circle is rife with plagiarism and piracy?

In the reality afterward, Ye Zhe and Tian Xiaoxiao looked at each other.

"Police." A couple of police uncles handcuffed the old man.

Tian Xiaoxiao and Ye Zhe both knew that this was undoubtedly a scam.

However, the old witch who pretended to be a ghost has been arrested by the police, but she is disguised by hypnosis, and she can divinate the past and present lives.

However, when Tian Xiaoxiao and Ye Zhe returned to Ye Zhe's house, they shuddered when they saw the "Old Master", this was not the old master she knew, this was the original "Old Master".

"This is something I used to buy at an old bookstall, it's some age, maybe it's from the 80s." Ye Zhe explained to Tian Xiaoxiao for a while.

"It's not something I know, I seem to know something." Tian Xiaoxiao seemed to understand something, and suddenly seemed to understand the sadness and desolation of the original author.

"Don't be sad, this kind of thing is actually very normal, we don't look at it, we didn't know it before, but now we know it, just boycott it." Ye Zhe actually knew about the plagiarism of the comic "Old Master" for a long time, and he actually admired the original work, so a good original work should not be covered by plagiarized garbage.

"It's really a good work, I really hope to meet it sooner, but it's not too late to meet it now, a good work is good enough no matter when it is encountered, time will not make its luster dusty, but will make him more flavorful." Tian Xiaoxiao read the old master of his friend's book, feeling the childhood of that generation in the last century.

Dreams are likely to be a mirror of reality, and both dreams and the flower of sin are still blooming.
