It has been five years since He Yun was reborn, and he has gradually grown from a retired soldier who has just changed jobs to a famous young writer.

Fame, affection, love, money, and position, these are far beyond the goals he set at the beginning.

More importantly, he felt that he was living a very fulfilling life, rather than simply running for wealth.

Now that he has been elected as a deputy to the National People's Congress, he feels that he must do what he can to live up to everyone's recognition of him.

This proposal is one of his attempts.

He hopes that while realizing his self-worth, he will not forget to give back to the whole society, so that more people can embark on the road of literary creation.

Even after he returned to Hunan Normal University, he was always paying attention to the progress of this matter.

Almost every other week, he would send a telegram to the old man Xu Zhenkang, asking about the progress of the matter.

Perhaps it is precisely because of him, a famous writer, that the Yuanshui County Education Committee attaches great importance to this matter.

Within just one week, the activity of "Founding Yuanshui County Primary and Secondary School Students' Essay Contest" spread in all primary and secondary schools in the county.

After learning of the incident, the school leaders also quickly convened the Chinese teachers in the school to discuss the essay competition.

Two days later, the county's primary and secondary schools received an official notice from the Education Commission.

The event, which will be organized by each school itself, will select five of the students to participate in the competition, and the final will be held in the compound of the Yuanshui County Education Commission in mid-June.

The event will be divided into primary school student group, junior high school student group, and high school student group, and finally three first prizes, five second prizes, and ten third prizes will be selected.

Winning students will not only receive the corresponding certificates, but also other awards.

These awards include but are not limited to stationery, extracurricular books, and even the first prize winners of the three groups will also be presented with an additional copy of the works of Comrade He Yun, a "famous young writer".

For these works, He Yun will write a message on the title page as a sign of encouragement.

In fact, this additional reward was not originally included in He Yun's proposal, but was temporarily joined by the leaders of the Education Commission.

In this regard, He Yun naturally agreed.

In fact, he not only agreed to this request, but also promised on the spot that these works would be purchased at his expense and mailed to the organizer, the Yuanshui County Education Commission.

He Yun didn't look at this amount of money, and even if it wasn't for the fact that the teacher politely rejected his kindness, he would have donated a sum of money to this essay contest as a fund for the event.

Yincheng, the editorial department of "Student World".

At this moment, Director Li, as the editor-in-chief, is checking the sales of the latest issue of the magazine.

On the side, Gao Yunyan stood there with a manuscript, waiting.

"Editor-in-chief, do we have so many sales in this issue? It's almost 10,000 copies? That's more than 3,000 copies more than the previous issue! ”

At this moment, Gao Yunyan also saw the sales report in Director Li's hand, and she couldn't help but smile.

"Hahaha...... In fact, I didn't expect the sales to grow so fast, I just asked Xiao Li, he said that there are many Xinhua bookstores in the area around our Yincheng into our magazine, and according to the feedback, the sales are not bad, I estimate, our next issue of the magazine should also hit a new high. ”

From Director Li's tone, it can be seen that he is very happy at this time.

After all, now that the magazine has begun to make a profit, there is no need for funding from above.

And the employees of the magazine can also be paid as usual.

Of course, more importantly, the magazine has hope and a future.

He believes that as long as they continue along this path, their "Student World" magazine will definitely get better and better.

"I almost forgot, Yunyan, what did you just do with me?" Director Li was happy, but suddenly remembered something, turned his head to look at Gao Yunyan and asked.

"Editor-in-chief, I would like to ask you to help me look at this manuscript I wrote."

"Oh...... Oh, the script, right! I'll see, see! After Director Li took the manuscript handed by Gao Yunyan, he immediately read it.

After a while, he couldn't help but nod and said, "Hmm...... Okay, revise the last paragraph a little more, and change it to ......The Analects is the culmination of the core ideas of Confucius's great disciples......"

"That's it, remember?"

"Remember! Editor-in-chief, if there's nothing to do, I'll go out first! ”

Just when Gao Yunyan took the manuscript and was about to leave, she saw Director Li stop her again: "Yunyan, you wait, wait." ”

"Editor-in-chief, is there anything else you can do?" Gao Yunyan turned her head and looked at Director Li.

"Yuanshui County is about to hold a county-wide essay contest for primary and secondary school students, do you know about this?"

"Essay contest?"

"Well, the essay contest is said to have been proposed by Comrade He Yun at the Yuanshui County People's Conference not long ago, and the Yuanshui County Party Committee attaches great importance to it, so the Yuanshui County Education Committee has focused on this activity.

"Uh...... Editor-in-chief, this is ...... It's better for you to make up your own mind, after all, you're the editor-in-chief of the magazine. ”

Although each issue of the magazine has a fixed section, it is not impossible to change it.

It is not a problem to select a few award-winning essays to be published in the language section, and Director Li can make his own decisions without asking her opinion.

"You girl, I'm asking you what your opinion is...... Forget it, I asked Xiao Li to contact the Yuanshui County Education Committee to see if they could allow us to publish it. ”

Director Li glanced at Gao Yunyan with a smile, and then continued: "Perhaps, we can also donate some "Student World" magazine as a prize for this essay contest. ”

"Editor-in-chief, this is a good idea, I think we can also contact the newspaper and take the opportunity to promote our magazine and further increase the sales of the magazine."

"Not bad! Yunyan, your idea is quite good, so let's do it. ”

After listening to Gao Yunyan's proposal, Director Li immediately nodded again and again.

He thought it was a brilliant idea.

…………

The provincial capital of Hunan Province, Hunan Normal University.

Inside the dormitory.

Under the lamp, He Yun was sitting at the table, holding a pen, revising the first draft of "The Journey of Life".

Two days ago, he sent a letter to the editor-in-chief of Contemporary, Mr. He, formally agreeing to the publication of his work "The Journey of Life" in their magazine.

As for the simplified publishing rights of this work, he finally handed it over to the People's Literature Publishing House.

After all, he and this publishing house are already old friends, and he is more relieved to hand them over to publish.

Moreover, the magazine "Contemporary" is under the supervision of the People's Literature Publishing House, and many problems are easy to solve.

What's more, he agreed to this matter a long time ago, so naturally he will not regret it.

…………

The revision of "The Journey of Life" is destined to be long and boring.

He Yun's plan is to complete the revised version in three months, and it is impossible to know whether it will exceed expectations in the end.

However, one thing is certain, and that is that the rigor of this work will far exceed that of all his previous works.

After all, in He Yun's mind, his novel will be on par with Lu Yao's "Ordinary World".

…………

Fast forward a week.

On this day, He Yun had just returned to the dormitory after giving class to the students, and received a letter.

The letter was sent by Huang Yi of Xiangjiang.

After reading the letter he sent, He Yun put the letter on the table, but he fell into deep thought for a long time.

The other party's letter is actually for one thing.

Ask when his new book will be out.

Seriously, if it weren't for this letter, he really forgot about what he promised Huang Yi.

It seems like it's been more than half a year!

It's been so long.

If it had been before, he would have finished writing his new book long ago, and he could have even written several copies.

However, in the last year or two, he has been writing books more and more slowly, and his works are scarce.

In addition to "Twelve Days of Life and Death" and "Skynet", only the long "Life Journey" that he is revising is left.

As for fantasy, after he opened the new pit of "Savage Shenhailu", no new work has been born, not even a short story of this type.

In this way, this also made his reputation in the Xiangjiang book circle have been reduced a lot.

And this is one of the reasons why Huang Yi wrote to him again to urge a new book.

Also, He Yun has not had a work for more than half a year, and many people will inevitably speculate whether this "Man Jianghong" is Jiang Lang's end.

As the owner of "Huang Yi Publishing House", how can Huang Yi not be anxious.

In fact, the works of "Man Jianghong" have a group of loyal "book fans" in the entire Xiangjiang

And He Yun's works are also maintained, almost every year there is a publication or publication mode.

But in Huang Yi's opinion, this is still not enough.

Because one of He Yun's previous works is not a "fantasy" theme, but a science fiction.

That's right, this sci-fi is the "Skynet".

The final sales volume is not bad.

Not only in Xiangjiang alone, it has won sales of 18,000 copies, but also in Taiwan and Southeast Asia, there are also nearly 100,000 copies.

This kind of sales may not seem like much, but for science fiction, it is very good.

What's more, this science fiction will also be translated and published in Western European countries such as the United States.

It is expected that the total global sales volume will exceed 300,000.

Of course, that's all a stretch.

Although Huang Yi learned about these things, he had to urge He Yun to draft.

After all, Huang Yi Publishing House needs new works to open the book market as soon as possible.

And undoubtedly, He Yun's new work is a good opportunity.

For this reason, He Yun also had to temporarily change his plan and planned to continue to open a "new pit".

This time, he will continue the glory of "Savage Shenhailu" and create a "fantasy" universe that belongs to him alone.

…………

Mid-April.

Liang Dakang, the editor-in-chief of Science Literature and Art, wrote him a letter with bad news.

As he had feared before, the right to host the World Science Fiction Annual Conference eventually changed.

The 1991 World Science Fiction Annual Conference, which was originally to be held in Jincheng, was decided by the World Science Fiction Association to re-vote on the right to host it.

After the news reached China, Liang Dakang immediately reported the matter to the Sichuan Provincial Association for Science and Technology, and the Sichuan Provincial Association for Science and Technology also quickly reported the matter to the relevant central departments.

In order to dispel the "doubts" of some countries, Liang Dakang decided to attend the World Science Fiction Annual Conference again.

This time, their destination will be The Hague, the Netherlands.

In this letter, he also sincerely invited He Yun to attend the World Science Fiction Annual Conference with them.

Although He Yun wanted to go, he thought about it, in May, Professor Ma seemed to have arranged a very important thing for him, which made him have to decline Liang Dakang's invitation this time.

It turned out that in May of this year, he and several teachers would go to several universities in Kyoto to participate in the exchange and study meeting of ancient Chinese literature.

Among them is Kyoto Normal University.

Therefore, he can only say sorry to Editor-in-Chief Liang Dakang.

Similarly, because of exchanges and learning, his marriage with Gao Yunyan had to be postponed to this year's National Day.

It was precisely because of this incident that he wasted a lot of words, which convinced his mother Gong Yue.

Fortunately, there is still more than half a month left in the divorce period, notify relatives in advance, and there is still time, otherwise this matter will be in trouble.

…………

After half a month of revision, the first and second volumes of "The Journey of Life" have been revised.

He Yun also took his luggage and came to Kyoto with the other teachers.

They first went to Kyoto University, then to Huaqing University, and finally to Kyoto Normal University.

During this period, He Yun continued to revise the first draft of "The Journey of Life" while seriously communicating and studying.

Occasionally, he would think about the outline of a new book.

It wasn't until mid-May that Liang Dakang met him at the train station when he set off for the Netherlands and passed through Kyoto.

A week later, the 22-day exchange and study meeting finally came to an end.

Together with other teachers, He Yun embarked on the road back to Hunan Province.

When he returned to Hunan Province, he received a telegram from the Yuanshui County Education Committee.

The telegram informed him that he would go to the Yuanshui County Education Commission on June 18 to serve as a judge for the essay contest.

At that time, he estimated that the school should be closed, so the time must not be a problem.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that he went to Kyoto for more than 20 days to study and exchange, so he had to make up for the missing classes.

As a result, in the next half month, he took nearly 30 classes in a row, an average of two classes a day.

On June 16, after the invigilation of the exam, he came to the pier and boarded the passenger boat to the dock of Yuanshui County.

Early the next morning, the passenger ship slowly docked on the pier.

After He Yun got off the boat, he went straight to the Yuanshui County Education Commission.

At this moment, in the compound of the Education Commission, there are many schools, and they have come to the huge conference room one after another with the school as a unit and led by a leading teacher.

Among them, the leading teacher of Sanshui Township Middle School is none other than Principal Zhao himself.
