Chapter 140 Symposium of some young and middle-aged writers in East and Northwest China
“Chairman Du, I really don’t want to go.”
Fang Minghua really doesn’t want to go, and the Writers Association meeting was delayed for several days. I have no time to write at all. This time I went to Shanghai and was delayed for at least 10 days. September has passed.
Chairman Du is Du Pengcheng, who was elected as the executive vice chairman of the Qin Provincial Writers Association. After listening to Fang Minghua’s complaints, he pondered for a moment and said:
“Writing is important, but going out to see it is also important. Well, you have just been elected as a director, which also represents our Qin Provincial Writers Association. You see, Lu Yao just came back from Qinbei and asked him to go to Shencheng, and he agreed without saying a word. "
Fang Minghua really couldn't figure out why Lu Yao agreed so happily.
When I opened the Writers Association two days ago, I complained privately that Qin Bei had been running away for several months and had no time to write at all. He was preparing to close the door and stop writing.
"Let Teacher Chen or Editor Jia go, they also represent young and middle-aged people!" Fang Minghua suggested.
“Zhongshi participated in the “Rural Theme Creation Seminar” held by the China Association in Zhuozhou, Hebei Province this spring. This time he didn’t want to go. As for Pingwa, he was busy preparing for the Xijing Writers Association branch and couldn’t leave. , the others also have something to do, only you are suitable "
Du Pengcheng explained patiently, and finally said with a smile: "Also, you are the editor of "Yanhe". I heard that President Huang is very good at drafting manuscripts. This time I went to Shanghai to meet some writers. Bring back some good articles.”
I ￥%...&&
Fang Minghua had no choice but to return in dismay.
As soon as he left Du Pengcheng's office, he bumped into Lu Yao at the entrance of the courtyard.
"Hey, Xiaofang, did Chairman Du ask you about going to Shanghai to hold a seminar?" Lu Yao saw him and asked immediately.
"I took the initiative to find Chairman Du. I didn't want to go to Shanghai, but Chairman Du didn't agree." Fang Minghua was a little frustrated.
"Hey, why don't you want to go with such a good opportunity?"
"I just went to Shanghai at the end of April. What's there to do? It's a waste of time. Brother Lu, didn't you declare to the public that you would work on creation behind closed doors? Are you here? Why do you want to go to Shanghai all of a sudden? "
"You don't know?"
"What do I know?" Fang Minghua was confused.
“The Fifth National Games will be held in Shanghai. Our Qin Province football team has qualified and will play the final in Shanghai! We can go to the stadium to watch it then.”
Damn it!
Is this the reason? !
Fang Minghua was stunned and stunned.
Lu Yao didn't seem to notice Fang Minghua's expression, he was still in his own excitement.
“In the Fourth National Games held in Yanjing in 1979, although our Qin provincial team reached the finals and only finished 11th, we will definitely play better this time!”
Seeing Lu Yao's appearance, Fang Minghua couldn't help but ask: "Brother Lu, do you like football?"
"Nonsense, what man doesn't like football? When I was studying at Yan University, I played The forward of the school team! He played with Hepingwa and Zhongshi a few years ago, but he has gotten too old in the past two years. "
Fang Minghua really can't imagine this group of writers on the court. Shirtless and shouting.
"When the time comes, let's go and see it together. I'm treating you!" Lu Yao patted Fang Minghua on the shoulder and walked into the small courtyard happily, leaving Fang Minghua still in a daze.
However, Chinese football in this era is not as miserable as later generations. In July of this year (1983), the first Great Wall Cup International Football Championship was held in Yanjing. In fact, the name of this event should be It's called the Yanjing International Football Invitational Tournament. This year, it's already the fifth edition, so the name was changed.
The Chinese team defeated the Danish Odense team, the Polish Shakhtar Katowice team, the Iranian Omid team, and the Japanese selection team to win the championship.
Li Hui, Gu Guangming and Chi Minghua all appeared.
At that time, the color TV set of Fang Minghua’s family was placed in the yard every day, and people on the inside and outside were watching football games. They even didn’t watch "The Great Hero Fearless", and the audience roared one after another. The whole street.
However, Fang Minghua, who had seen the endless decline of Chinese football in the future, had no interest in it, so he went with Song Tangtang.
This time Lu Yao asked him to go to Shanghai to watch the game in person!
Let’s talk about it then.
Two days later, the two of them boarded the train to Shanghai together with their luggage on their backs.
Both of them have been to Shanghai, and Fang Minghua often came to this city before crossing over. However, there was a subway at that time. It is only 1983, and there are still 10 years left before the subway era in Shanghai. They were all confused by this messy road.
In the end I had to buy a map and follow the map to find out. It's better to live in Chang'an. It's square and square, and the roads are straight and horizontal. As long as you know the southeast, northwest, and northwest, you will never get lost. Fang Minghua was sitting on the bus, looking at the city with a larger population than Xijing, thinking to himself. .
This symposium for young and middle-aged people was hosted by the Chinese Writers Association and hosted by the Shanghai Writers Association. The venue was the famous Shenjiang Hotel in Shanghai.
The hotel has a long history and was once known as the "third largest hotel in the Far East". It is said to be a favorite place for stars such as Ruan Lingyu, Butterfly, Yao Li and Zhou Xuan in the 1930s. The famous song "Rose Rose I Love You" was born here, but unfortunately it is still banned for the time being.
Fang Minghua and Lu Yao rushed to the hotel to check in at noon. During dinner in the evening, they met writers from all over the country. He also met an acquaintance, Wang Anyi.
"Sister Wang" Fang Minghua introduced with a smile.
“Xiao Fang,” Wang Anyi smiled when she saw him: “I knew you would come to the meeting.”
"This is Lu Yao from our province."
"This is Wang Anyi from Shencheng." Fang Minghua introduced the two to each other.
"Hello, Comrade Lu Yao." Wang Anyi took the initiative to shake hands with Lu Yao: "Your book "Life" is so well written!"
"You're welcome, I It’s up to you to write "The Passage", which is unique among female themes," Lu Yao said.
“This is Zhang Xianliang, the editor-in-chief of Ningxia’s Shuofang.”
"Hello, hello, Lu Yao, I've heard of you for a long time." Zhang Xianliang warmly held Lu Yao's hand.
"Hello, Editor Zhang."
This time, there are more than 20 writers from ten provinces and one city in northwest and east China, plus "Harvest", "Zhongshan", "Jiangnan" 》 and other famous magazines also sent editors to attend the meeting. There were nearly fifty people, many of whom knew each other, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Fang Minghua also met many writers.
Li Hangyu from Zhejiang Province is famous in the literary world for his "Gechuanjiang Series" novels. He is a representative writer of the "root-seeking school", an important literary school in my country since the new era.
Zhou Meisen from Jiangsu Province is famous for writing novels about officialdom. He is familiar with the novel "In the Name of the People".
But that is all for the future. Now they belong to the younger generation and lack the sophistication of older people. Spicy, but a little more energetic.
The seminar was held in the conference room of Shenjiang Hotel. The next morning, Palladium, chairman of the Writers Association, came to the venue in person and gave a speech.
The chairman of the Writers Association came to the meeting in person, which made these writers very excited. As soon as Palladium entered the conference room, there was endless applause.
Palladium greeted with a smile and waited for the applause to subside before he began his speech.
His speech was not long, but it was very targeted.
“Comrades, you are all young and middle-aged writers, all relatively young. A great man once said that the world is yours and ours, but in the final analysis it is yours. You young people are full of vigor and vitality. The prosperous period is like the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning. Hope is pinned on you. "
"To write about the new socialist people, you must start from life, and you must not make it up, fabricate it, or get too high. , big, comprehensive'. Based on the profound accumulation of life, with a relatively keen vision, you can dig out the beauty and goodness from the reality of life."
Received warm applause.
Palladium is old and not in good health, so it is impossible to attend the whole process, so he is about to leave after his speech. Before leaving, he waves to Fang Minghua, who is sitting in the back row.
"Xiao Fang, come out for a moment. I have something to discuss with you."
"Okay, Mr. Palladium." Fang Minghua hurriedly walked out.
There was a lot of discussion behind him.
"Hey, who is that young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes that Palladium always calls?"
"You don't know? Fang Minghua from Qin Province, a representative of domestic avant-garde novels."
"Oh, it's him. It seems that he has a close relationship with Mr. Palladium. Didn't I hear that he has a good relationship with Wang Meng of Yanjing?"
"Are the two contradictory?"
"That's true. I wonder what Palladium calls him for?"
"We don't even know this."
