Chapter 205: Praise by name by senior county officials? (3000+)
As the editor-in-chief, Liang Dakang naturally has a certain understanding of readers' letters.
Especially in terms of the number of letters, he remembers very well that in recent issues, there have not been many letters from readers.
At most, there were only about 500 letters from readers, and the sales of their "Science Fiction Literature and Art" magazine could once reach as much as 30,000, and this was still the sales volume of Jincheng and the surrounding areas, as for the national sales, there were 70,000.
It can be seen that the proportion of reader letters compared to total sales is not very high.
But now, although the total sales of the latest issue of "Science Fiction Literature and Art" magazine have not been counted, in terms of the number of letters from readers, it has far exceeded the previous one.
You know, this is still the last few days, and if it takes a while, the number will definitely climb.
"Are you sure there are so many? And it's still the amount of these days? ”
"Editor-in-chief, I'm pretty sure, and there are a small number of readers' letters, I also opened them and looked at them, and found that these readers' letters all mentioned the same suggestion, and they all asked our magazine to have a little more science fiction." Ouyang Peng nodded solemnly and replied.
Since what happened last time, Ouyang Peng has been very cautious in doing things, and naturally there will be no similar mistakes.
"You can't be talking about Man Jianghong's new work, the sci-fi of "Hou Yi Running to the Moon", right?" At this time, Liang Dakang put down the pen in his hand, he looked at Ouyang Peng, seemed to think of something in his heart, and said immediately.
"That's right! It was this writer who wrote "Hou Yi Running to the Moon", and many readers said in the letter that why is the plot behind it gone? Q: When is the next time we publish it? Some readers asked, can you get a special issue and only publish this one? ”
"Special issue? That's definitely not good, but it can also be seen from it that these readers really like to watch this sci-fi, but it's a little more, I'm afraid it will ...... Influence other publications, so let's sort out these readers' letters, select some representative ones, send them to the author, and I'll think of other ways. ”
Liang Dakang is obviously a little embarrassed, although it is true that he is the editor-in-chief, but there are some things that he can not decide alone.
This is especially true of such a change in the length of the resolution, which is even more difficult to make.
Still, he decided to think of something else.
No, after he sent Ouyang Peng away, he immediately lowered his head and looked at the report in his hand, but he put it aside, and then picked up the pen, intending to write a new report to the superior leader.
For the main content of this report, in fact, there are two points, one is to focus on the new work "Hou Yi Running to the Moon" by "Man Jianghong", and the other is to hope that the superior leaders can consider publishing this science fiction and find a way to take it to the world to win awards.
For the former, Liang Dakang is very confident that he can convince his superiors to lead, but for the latter, he has no confidence, because our country's science fiction basically has no sense of existence in the international community at present, and like the world science fiction award "Hugo Award", it almost does not consider works from non-English-speaking countries, even if it is a neighboring country.
Unless you're translating into English, and you've had to go through a whole bunch of nominations.
Moreover, this is only theoretically possible, but in practice, there is almost no hope, or the probability of winning the prize is zero.
The reason is actually very simple, the "Hugo Award" is said to be a world science fiction award, but at the beginning of its establishment, it was under the "control" of some Western countries, so everyone understands it.
This is the essence of Western literature, which is often inextricably linked to politics.
Of course, all of this is far from it, but let's get back to the point.
Although Liang Dakang knew that there was no hope for this science fiction to win international awards, and he might not even be able to pass the level of his superiors, he still decided to give it a try.
If nothing else, just fight for a breath and fight for our country.
This is Liang Dakang's heartfelt words, and it is also a point he has always insisted on.

Yincheng, in the compound of the Yuanshui County Government.
The conference room was full of people.
At this moment, a leader wearing glasses sitting on the stage was saying something to the audience in a low voice.
This leader is none other than Secretary Sun, a high-ranking county official.
"Reform is the general trend, this is the policy above, some of our leading cadres can not always stay in the past, now, our government's party members and cadres should think about how to lead the people to make a fortune, solve the problem of poverty and backwardness, instead of thinking about how to ......"
"In the past few days, everyone must have read a reform article in the Hunan Provincial Daily, right? I think it's very well written! More importantly, as far as I know, the author of this article is still a native of Yuanshui County, Yincheng, and the author himself is a retired soldier, who is now both a teacher and a writer, and is very young.......
On the rostrum, Secretary Sun of the county party committee held the newspaper in his hand and said loudly to everyone in the audience, and even during the speech, he also read a short paragraph of the content of a certain article in the newspaper in public.
And in the end, he put down the newspaper in his hand, glanced at everyone, and said again: "After everyone goes back, we should organize and carry out activities to study the spirit of this meeting in the town, and we must understand the above policies, and strive to increase the income of the people a little next year, and it is best to emerge a few model villages......
A quarter of an hour later, Township Chief Li left the huge conference room with several town leaders.
At this meeting, Secretary Sun of the county party committee summoned more than 70 leading cadres from more than 10 towns and dozens of townships in the county to hold the meeting.
Township Chief Li and the town leaders have already understood its purpose.
The key is four words: "make a fortune".
In fact, the county party committee has held such meetings more than once or twice, and there will be one almost every once in a while.
The county party committee and the county government have attached great importance to the economic development of the county, but for various reasons, it has been ineffective.
This time, everyone present had a faint revelation.
No, after the meeting, Township Chief Li got a copy of the Hunan Provincial Daily a few days ago and read it with several other town leaders.
"Lao Li, this article should have been written by Comrade He Yun, right?" Secretary Liu of the town party committee looked at Township Chief Li and said.
"It should have been written by him, didn't Secretary Sun say it at the meeting just now, the author is from our Yincheng Yuanshui County, it won't be wrong."
"But...... I really didn't expect that Xiaohe could not only write, but also write such a good article about reform! Township Chief Li sighed, but sighed again and continued.
"It's a pity that he's going to teach now, if he continues to stay in the township government or the township government...... I arranged for him to go to their village for a temporary post, alas...... The old party secretary of their village recently had a conflict with a villager over irrigation water, and now their village is ...... None of them are in charge. ”
"This matter must be dealt with seriously, in addition to the pursuit of criminal responsibility for the beaters, their village should also arrange a village party secretary as soon as possible, I don't think it's better to do this, transfer Xiao Li to a temporary post for a period of time, Township Chief Li, what is your opinion?" Secretary Liu of the town party committee looked at Township Chief Li and hurriedly said.
"Xiao Li? No, this kid has just graduated from agricultural school, and it has only been a long time since he was assigned to the town's agricultural machinery station, and he went to manage a village, which is not suitable, not suitable. When Township Chief Li heard this, he immediately shook his head, waved his hand and said.
But Secretary Liu of the town party committee said with a smile: "Lao Li, I said you...... You don't have to deny him because he is your youngest son, this kid has been performing very well for a while, young man, just exercise more, you look at Xiaohe, he is also so young, and the reform articles he writes are at such a level, even Secretary Sun praised it at the conference, you have to give them a little more chance! ”
"Okay, Lao Li, this matter has been decided, let's go back first, there is still a mess of things in the town waiting for me to go back and deal with."
After saying this, Secretary Liu of the town party committee turned around and walked towards the outside of the county government compound.
And at this time, Township Chief Li stood in place, he was stunned for a while, and finally sighed softly, but also left the county government.
…………
Yincheng People's Hospital, inpatient building, in a ward.
He Yun walked out of the ward under the send-off of the old village chief's son.
Just now, he chatted with the old village chief's son for a while, and sure enough, as he expected, the truth of the matter was the same as he had guessed.
He looked at the old village chief on the hospital bed and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
After all, in the final analysis, it is because there are too few drainage and irrigation stations, which led to frequent contradictions, and finally caused today's incident.
If one or more irrigation and drainage stations were built in the whole village, this would not be the case.
But to build an irrigation and drainage station, the village will definitely not be able to come up with the money, and it is not realistic to rely on the funds from above, because there is no money in the town.
As for relying on the villagers to raise funds, it is even more unfeasible, you know, in the past, in order to share the electricity cost of the drainage and irrigation station and be responsible for the drainage and irrigation station pumping this matter, it is difficult for the villagers to reach a unified opinion, let alone build another drainage and irrigation station.
"Alas...... The key is that everyone doesn't have enough money in their hands! He Yun sighed softly and couldn't help muttering secretly.
…………
After visiting the old village chief, He Yun returned to Yincheng Normal School, and at this time, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon.
In the dormitory, He Yun sat down at his desk and continued to refine the preliminary outline of the new work.
For this film, his expectations are very high, because he wants to write a huge work that deeply reflects how the vast number of rural areas are reformed and lifted out of poverty.
For this reason, he also deliberately chose two typical villages as the location of this story......
