Chapter 369: The 3rd Mao Dun Literature Award!
In later generations, the teaching mode of open classes has almost become synonymous with "show", especially in junior high school and high school, such classes will come from time to time, especially those so-called "excellent classes".
However, it is different now, the current open class does not have the bells and whistles of later generations, everyone values your teaching style, and the open class will not be linked to any interests.
Of course, then again, if you teach your class well, it will naturally be beneficial, at least it will attract more students to your class.
Just like today, not only people from other majors will come to the lectures, but also people from other departments will come to the lectures.
…………
The next day, the weather was sunny and breezy.
The sun was shining and it seemed to be another good day.
He Yun came to the classroom early, and at this moment, he was holding the lectern with both hands and looking down at the lesson plan placed on the podium.
Yesterday, after learning from Professor Ma that his class would be observed by other teachers today, he carefully prepared a lesson plan overnight.
Although he was inevitably a little nervous at the moment, he still restrained himself as much as possible.
It wasn't until the first student walked in through the back door of the classroom that he couldn't help but look up, but he was stunned.
"Li Yan? How did she come! ”
He Yun wanted to come forward to say hello to her, but at this moment, several students suddenly walked in at the door, followed by a group of students who walked in.
Then, students entered the classroom one after another.
Soon, the entire classroom was full.
He Yun made a rough estimate, there were about one hundred and twenty people.
On the other side, in the corridor outside the classroom, a group of people also walked over slowly, and they were the teachers who came to listen to the class.
Most of these people are lecturers, and there are not only their own majors, but also other majors.
As the class bell rang, He Yun couldn't help but take a deep breath, smiled, and said to everyone in the audience: "Okay, let's start class, in today's class, let's discuss such a problem." ”
Speaking of this, He Yun turned around and took the chalk and wrote a line on the blackboard: "Look at the literature of the Wei and Jin dynasties from "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring". ”
"Tao Yuanming's "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring" must be known to everyone, and even many people should be able to memorize it, so today let's start from this prose and talk about the ............literary development of the Wei and Jin dynasties."
In today's open class, He Yun chose a relatively unpopular direction in ancient literature - "Wei and Jin literature".
At this moment, he stood on the podium and talked eloquently: "When it comes to the literature of the Wei and Jin dynasties, the most dazzling of them is the works of Cao Cao's father and son and the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest. Of course, Tao Yuanming, a great writer in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, can also be among the best......"
It took him more than ten minutes, completely ignoring the lesson plan, to say the phone in one breath.
After that, he left the stage to the students in the audience.
In He Yun's class, it is basically this mode, he will introduce the topic, and then it will be the "debate competition" between the two sides, and the others are either spectators or participants, and the whole process is very intense and lively after a class.
This was an eye-opener for many teachers who listened to the class, and they nodded their heads one after another, and in private, they were also discussing in whispers.
…………
Time passed before you knew it.
Soon, the bell rang for the end of class.
When He Yun announced the end of class, the teachers who were listening to the class also came over.
Professor Ma and Professor Jiang are among them.
"Teacher He is really young and promising! I didn't expect this class to be so good just after graduation! ”
"Yes! It's no wonder that you were able to graduate from Professor Ma with excellent grades, and even President Zhang made an exception to promote you to be a lecturer, this class is really great! ”
"Hahaha...... That's natural, the students who graduated from Director Ma's hands, which one is not excellent! ”
"Ahem...... Well, don't praise Xiaohe too much, otherwise he will be proud! ”
At this time, Professor Ma coughed lightly and then said. Hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing.
At this time, He Yun was a little embarrassed.
He really couldn't say anything, so he could only stand aside and echo.
After a while, the other teachers left one after another, and He Yun and Professor Ma also walked out of the classroom.
"Xiaohe, the teacher didn't expect that you not only didn't have stage fright this time, but also spoke so well, continue to work hard in the future, and remember to publish more papers, which will be helpful for you to evaluate the associate professor."
"Lao Ma is right, Xiaohe, you are still young, fight harder, maybe you can be rated as an associate professor at the age of thirty."
"Professor Ma, I understand, I'll think about it." He Yun nodded and replied.
He naturally understands the advice of the two, but the problem is that the associate professor is not something that can be evaluated casually.
Not to mention thirty years old, even if you are forty years old, there are many people who have not been evaluated.
He has just become a university lecturer, and if he wants to be rated as an associate professor or even a professor, he must have a certain breakthrough in his professional field, otherwise you will not be rated at all.
…………
The days passed, and every day, He Yun basically maintained a life of three o'clock.
When he has a class, he goes to class, when he doesn't have a class, he reads the manuscript, and sometimes, he goes out to collect style.
During this period, he also received a lot of invitation letters, but in the end, he declined them one by one.
Now that he has already "become famous", he doesn't need to rely on the number of works to enhance his fame.
Now he just wants to do what he wants to do, to create as freely as he wants, rather than writing for the sake of invitations.
Take his sci-fi "Skynet" as an example, no one urged him, and no one invited him to write, but he wrote more easily.
October 1 is the "birthday" of the country, and the whole country celebrates.
School is closed for one day.
He Yun went to the guard room as usual to see if there were any letters of his own, and then went to the library, intending to borrow two books to go back.
When he finished borrowing the book and walked back, Gao Lao chased after him on a bicycle.
"Koga! You wait! I'm looking for you something, are you free now? ”
"Free! Of course, if you have time, why don't you go to my dormitory and say! He Yun nodded, glanced at Elder Gao up and down, and replied.
"Okay, let's go to your dormitory!" Gao Lao thought about it for a while, and finally agreed.
More than ten minutes later, He Yun led Elder Gao back to the dormitory.
After he put down the two books in his hand, he hurriedly turned to Elder Gao and said, "Elder Gao, feel free to sit down!" I'll pour you water. ”
"No need, let's get down to business! You sit down too. Elder Gao waved his hand and refused directly.
He Yun saw that his expression was very serious, so he didn't insist anymore, but sat down.
"You're twenty-three this year, aren't you?" Elder Gao looked at He Yun and asked.
"Hmm...... Twenty-three. He Yun didn't understand why Elder Gao asked this, but he still hummed and said.
"Is it full?" Elder Gao said again.
"It's full!" He Yun replied.
"Okay, another day, you can contact your parents to see when you are free, so we can sit together and talk about your marriage."
"After all, now that you've all graduated and each has your own job, it's time to think about getting married."
"Uh......"
After hearing this, He Yun was completely stunned.
This is...... Forced marriage?
No way!
So anxious?
"Elder Gao, ...... are you?"
"I'm about to retire, once I retire, my only thought is to hold my grandson, and you and Yunyan are not too young, it's time to think about marriage."
"But we're only twenty-three?"
"What's wrong with twenty-three? Don't you want to marry my family Yunyan? ”
"No, no, no...... Elder Gao, I didn't mean that, really, I ......"
"Okay! Elder Gao, I'll send a telegram home later. ”
"That's right!"
Under some "persecution", He Yun could only agree.
In fact, to be honest, he didn't want to object to this, after all, he and Gao Yunyan had already said that they would get married after graduation, and their parents at home were also urging them, and they couldn't wait for He Yun and the two to get married after graduation.
But when he really got to this point, he didn't know the bottom of his heart.
"Could this be what later generations often called fear of marriage?"
He Yun muttered to himself, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
…………
In the afternoon, He Yun sent an urgent telegram to his home.
After that, he sent another letter to Gao Yunyan and told him about it.
The next day, he received a telegram from home.
There are a few words on it: "The time can be set by the in-laws." ”
Well, it seems that my parents can't wait.
A few days later, the date for the two families to meet was finalized.
It was set for October 10th, a week later.
Although it is only the parents of both parties who meet, it is estimated that the engagement and other marriage processes will be completed in the near future.
Maybe next New Year's Day, you will get married, get a license, and do wedding wine, not necessarily!
In fact, He Yun's father He Donglei and mother Gong Yue really think so.
At this moment, they were discussing this matter in their home.
"Kid's father, should we call the eldest child, the second child, and the third child over that day?"
"Of course, there's no need to hide it."
"What about the introducer? Do you want to find one on the fly? ”
"There's no need, they didn't know each other on a blind date, so there's no need to do anything else."
"Do you have to prepare in advance for the three turns of the engagement?"
"That's natural, these two children are already in love, there shouldn't be any big problem, not to mention that now that the father-in-law took the initiative to bring it up, there is no problem with this matter."
…………
For these, He Yun, who was at Hunan Normal University at the moment, naturally didn't know.
At this time, he was looking at a letter in his hand.
This letter was sent by Kang Xin Kang.
As one of He Yun's "nobles", He Yun and Kang Xin Kang Lao have always maintained correspondence.
For his letter, to be honest, He Yun was really surprised.
Because he wrote a letter to Kang Xin Kang not long ago, he didn't expect to receive his letter after only half a month.
"This ...... The People's Literature Publishing House actually recommended my work "Love in Lakes and Mountains" to the Mao Dun Literature Award Committee? No way! ”
Mao Dun Literary Award, what kind of literary award is that?
It is not an exaggeration to call it the No. 1 literary award in China.
As a leading literary award, since its establishment, it has been selected every four years with the attitude of "preferring shortage to abundance", and each winning work is basically three to five works.
After all, it is almost the day of the third Mao Dun Literature Award.
The publication time range of the works selected by the 3rd Mao Dun Literature Award is from 1985 to 1988, and his novel "Love in Lakes and Mountains" happened to be published during this period, so there is no problem for the People's Literature Publishing House to recommend his work.
However, He Yun knew that if he wanted to win the Mao Dun Literature Award, his "Love of Lakes and Mountains" was afraid that there was little hope.
Although judging from the previous two Mao Dun Literature Awards, the realism novels are more favored by the award committee, there are too many realistic novels participating in this literary award.
Because according to the regulations, each Mao Dun Literature Award is recommended by publishing houses across the country, so that the works participating in the selection will naturally not be too few.
The members of the award committee are all selected by thousands of people, and their vision is much higher than that of ordinary judges.
What's more, only a work that receives two-thirds of the votes will finally win this literary award.
In other words, even if you get the first number of votes, as long as the number of votes does not exceed two-thirds of the total number of votes, you will not be able to win.
It can be seen how strict the award rules of the Mao Dun Literature Award are!
In fact, He Yun didn't know that the third Mao Dun Literature Award in the original time and space, the famous writer Lu Yao's "Ordinary World" was recommended to the award committee by the Huaxia Federation of Literary and Art Circles Publishing House, and finally won the third Mao Dun Literature Award.
And the remaining four works are all first-class classic and excellent works, such as Ling Li's "Young Son of Heaven", Liu Baiyu's "The Second Sun" and so on.
In addition, two writers of this year's Mao Dun Literature Award also won the Mao Dun Literature Award Honorable Mention.
One of them was the famous General Xiao Ke.
That's right! It's the founding general!
His long story "Bloody Luoxiao" won an honorary award.
It can be seen that in order to win such literary awards, ordinary writers really can't do it.
Even He Yun himself felt that this was almost impossible.
After all, there is so little hope!
"Wait...... Kang Xinkang wrote to me about this, how did he know about it? Could it be that he is...... The judges this time? ”
He Yun suddenly realized a problem, and after thinking about it for a while, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was correct.
However, after thinking about it, He Yun showed a wry smile again.
He couldn't help but sigh softly: "Alas...... Even if you knew, what if you knew? According to the rules of the Mao Dun Literature Award, even if Kang Xinkang gave me a precious vote, he was only one vote, and it was not certain whether others would vote for me. ”
Indeed, it is true that opportunism will not win this literary award.
Besides, will Kang Xin Kang really be one of the judges of the "Award Committee" of the Mao Dun Literature Award this time?
It's just his personal speculation, that's all.
