Chapter 312 The Xiangjiang Writers' Association was established
The Taoranting Writers' Association building in Xicheng was brightly lit, and several leaders of the Writers' Association were meeting overnight. Even Chairman Palladium, who usually didn't pay much attention to the internal affairs of the Writers' Association in Shanghai, arrived by train. Yanjing attended the meeting.
The cause was a letter from Xiangjiang.
It turns out that not long ago, dozens of writers in Xiangjiang were preparing to organize the Xiangjiang Writers Association. Ni Kuang was the president, Hu Juren, Liang Xiaozhong, and Huang Weiliang were the chairmen, and Zhang Wenda was the secretary-general. Zhang Junmo, Shen Xicheng, Jiang Yun, and Li Mo , Feng Xiangzhi and other 21 people are directors.
It is to protect the rights of Hong Kong writers to freedom of creation and independent speech, and to safeguard the copyright, publishing and distribution rights of Hong Kong writers. The journal is "Writers' Monthly".
The soon-to-be-established Xiangjiang Writers' Association submitted a letter to the Chinese Writers' Association and the Taiwan Literary Writers' Association in the Mainland to send a delegation to attend the establishment ceremony on July 24.
This letter arrived in Yanjing through relevant channels. After review and approval by relevant departments, it fell into the hands of the leaders of the Writers Association for implementation. In principle, the relevant leaders agreed that the Writers Association would send a delegation to attend the founding meeting of the Xiangjiang Writers Association. The specific candidates would be determined by the Writers Association. Determine internally and submit to relevant state departments for approval.
The establishment of a Writers Association in Hong Kong is a good thing. It is also very meaningful to take this opportunity to meet fellow writers in Hong Kong and Taiwan Province and talk about literature. However, it is difficult to decide who to send.
First of all, the Xiangjiang Writers Association is just a non-governmental organization with less than 30 people and no official background. To put it bluntly, it is just a wild stall. Moreover, these writers actually write popular literature. Let this group The big guys are a little bit contemptuous in their hearts.
Let me go?
If the invitations to professors from universities such as Xiangjiang University or the Chinese University of Hong Kong are similar, who are these people?
The standards of the delegation sent are either too high or too low.
For this reason, more than a dozen vice-chairmen of the Writers Association had a huge quarrel over this.
"In my opinion, our Writers' Association should not send people to congratulate! Who is that Ni Kuang? A deserter, a traitor!" The speaker was Ai Qing, a senior poet who is the vice chairman of the Writers' Association. Although he is older, But his temper remains hot.
Everyone here understands what he said.
His real name is Ni Cong. He started writing novels in Xiangjiang in the late 1950s. His writing range is very broad and he has all kinds of genres. His novels include detectives, science fiction, gods and monsters, martial arts, and romance. He has a very good personal relationship with Gu Long and Jin Yong.
Now that I heard Ai Qing’s old story being brought up again, Palladium, as the chairman, said: “Those are all in the past. This time, the relevant departments asked our Writers Association to send representatives to Xiangjiang, which shows that this relationship has been considered. Let’s not dwell on this matter.”
The Sino-British Joint Declaration was signed in 1984, and Hong Kong’s return was a certainty. The Writers Association sent a delegation there, which was originally intended to strengthen the relationship between the mainland and Hong Kong. , a symbol of unity.
Actually, Ai Qing is just talking, he still has a general understanding.
"Comrades, if you feel that it is not appropriate for the vice-chairman of our Writers' Association to lead the team, how about we find a leader from among the chairmen of the provincial writers' associations?" Palladium expressed his opinion.
This is a solution.
At this time, Feng Mu, vice chairman of the Writers Association, said with a smile: "Mr. Palladium, how about I recommend to you someone to lead the team there."
"Who?"
< br>"Fang Minghua, vice chairman of the Qin Provincial Writers Association."
"Oh, it's him." Palladium laughed after hearing this.
"Fang Minghua is a young Chinese. He stayed in the United States for several months last year. He is well-informed. He writes serious literature as well as science fiction novels. He is a combination of vulgarity and elegance. In addition, Ni Kuang named Fang Minghua by name in the invitation letter. Go over."
"The smell is the same!" Ai Qing muttered.
Of course it means that he despises science fiction.
Cha Cha, both Fang Minghua and Ni Kuang liked this, and it was probably one of the reasons why they invited him to Xiangjiang.
Also, he is not interested in Fang Minghua. It originated from the second national literature (poetry) selection in October 1984. Both of them were members of the jury. At that time, there was a dispute over whether Shu Ting and Gu Cheng's poetry collection could win the award. In the end, everyone adopted Fang Minghua's opinion, which made Ai Qing, as the director of the jury, is very shameless.
Someone now proposes that Fang Minghua go to Hong Kong as the head of the delegation of the Chinese Writers' Association to participate in the establishment of the Hong Kong Writers' Association. Although he doesn't look down on this group of Hong Kong people at all, he feels very unhappy about having Fang Minghua as the head of the delegation.
Soon he raised his objections.
"After all, Fang Minghua is only the vice-chairman of the Provincial Writers' Association. He is too young and lacks qualifications. I suggest that a respected chairman of the Provincial Writers' Association should be sent over to show our respect for the Xiangjiang Writers' Association!"
"Lao Ai, who do you want to send?"
"Ruan Zhangjing, Chairman of the Yanjing Writers Association."
Of course everyone here knows Ruan Zhangjing.
He is an old revolutionary, old writer, and more importantly, a poet. His representative work is the long poem "The Water of Zhanghe River".
Ruan Zhangjing recommended by Ai Qing does meet the requirements. Of course, everyone also knows that Ruan Zhangjing and Ai Qing have a good personal relationship.
"That's it." Palladium quickly came up with a compromise: "Comrade Ruan Zhangjing will be the leader of the delegation, and Fang Minghua will be the deputy leader. Do you have any opinions?
No comments, unanimously approved.
The head of the delegation was selected, and everyone discussed the members of the delegation. In addition to the two heads, three more members were determined, and then the list was submitted to the relevant departments for review.
It was a week after Fang Minghua received the news. First, Feng Mu, vice chairman of the Writers Association, personally called him, and then received a formal notice from the Writers Association.
"Hong Kong is going to establish a writers association?" Fang Minghua was a little confused.
And the chairman is Ni Kuang?
Seeing this name, Fang Minghua always felt a little unreliable.
As far as serious literature is concerned, it is only right for people like Liu Yichang, Li Bihua, and Xixi to establish a writers' association.
Especially Liu Yichang is a master of serious literature in Hong Kong. He pioneered Hong Kong modern literature and translated and introduced Western stream-of-consciousness theory.
Representative works include the novels "The Drunkard" and "The Pair". His works inspired director Wong Kar-wai to make the movies "In the Mood for Love" and "2046". He can be called "Wong Kar-wai's literary mentor".
It would be better if Liu Yichang was the president of the Xiangjiang Writers Association.
Fang Minghua looked at the list provided by the other party. He looked like a grassroots team, messing around.
But since the leaders of the Writers Association asked him to go, he couldn't refuse and decided to go to Xiangjiang for a trip.
Hong Kong in the 1980s and 1990s was its highlight moment. Buy some genuine tapes back.
After arranging the work at hand and saying goodbye to his family, Fang Minghua packed up his travel bag and went to Yanjing first to meet up with members of the delegation. There were not many people in the group, five of them in total, and then took a plane south, but it was not a direct flight to Xiangjiang, but It stops at Pengcheng and then enters Xiangjiang.
