Chapter 335 334 "Chengdu, just your disappearing side is enough for me to be honored for a lifetime"
Fang Minghua thinks Shang Zhongmin is not bad, not as arrogant as Wan Xia, who can travel all the way to Xijing "Discussing poetry and swords" with him shows that he truly loves poetry.
Although the two have different poetry concepts.
The two chatted while eating.
"Shang Gong, are you prepared for this attack on Beidao Shuting and the others?" Fang Minghua asked.
"Yes, we have been planning it for a long time." Shang Zhongmin was honest: "Although the creative ideas of poets in Shu Province are not exactly the same and we quarrel with each other, our attitude towards Misty Poems is the same: we are willing to cut off our bodies and want to kill them. The emperor pulled the horse down!"
Fang Minghua shook his head and said:
"Every generation should challenge the previous generation, just like Beidao and the others challenged Ai Qing, but you guys This method is too cruel."
"I don't agree with it either, but I can't make the decision. Our poetry circle in Sichuan Province is full of people." Shang Zhongmin said with a smile: "To be honest, I don't care about them. I also disagree with the behavior of shouting slogans in front of others. It is really embarrassing.” ." After saying that, Fang Minghua picked up a piece of meat in the rolling pot.
"How is it? Does it taste good? The hot pot here is very delicious." Shang Zhongmin also smiled.
Fang Minghua left Chengdu at noon the next day and returned to Xijing. Zhao Muchun hurried back three days later and arrived at Fang Minghua's office as soon as he got to work, with a look of excitement on his face.
"Editor Fang, I gained a lot from my trip to Chengdu this time. Take a look at these poem manuscripts!" Zhao Wuchun raised the manuscript in his hand.
Fang Minghua took it and looked at it carefully. There were "August Sleepwalker" by Bei Dao, "Disappearance" by Gu Cheng and "On the Mountain" by Li Gang. They were all just selected as "Top Ten Poets" A new poem written by me!
"Bei Dao is very grateful to you for speaking for them at the discussion. I originally wanted to have a chat with you, but you hurried back to Xijing. "Zhao Muchun said.
"There are a lot of things at home." Fang Minghua replied, and handed him the poem manuscript, "You can arrange for these poems to be published in magazines one after another."
"There is one more." Zhao Munchun took out another poem. A copy of the poem manuscript was handed to Fang Minghua.
“It was written by that Wan Xia.”
Oh?
Fang Minghua took it and looked at it carefully.
"Essence"
The first and last time
People are not perfect after all
Too many opportunities are left in mistakes
But we are happy Make progress
The highest and most perfect are some incomplete parts
Between the two events of our perfection
All of this is just a process
What you pray for and get
< br>Only my corrupt side
It's enough for you to enjoy a lifetime
Chengdu
Just your disappearing side
It's enough for me to enjoy a lifetime of glory
It looks a bit familiar.
Fang Minghua suddenly remembered that Jia Zhangke quoted this poem at the end of the movie "Tale of 24 Cities".
"Editor Fang, Wan Xia asked me to bring you a message. Do you dare to publish this poem?" Zhao Muchun said.
"Come on!" Fang Minghua laughed and said: "As long as he writes such a poem, "Yanhe" will be published!"
It is mid-December, and "Yanhe" is the last one of the year. The issue was published as scheduled. In addition to "1986" written by Yu Hua recommended by the editor-in-chief, several poems in the poetry column also aroused readers' love, especially Wan Xia's "Essence".
Fang Minghua held the brand new issue of "Yanhe" and looked at the last few lines of Wan Xia's poem. He suddenly remembered the song sung by Zhao Lei in later generations.
"Chengdu"
Similar approach but similar approach. The publication of the last issue of "Yanhe" brings a perfect end to the work of the editorial department this year. Now Fang Minghua is thinking about another thing.
The second part of Lu Yao's "Ordinary World" has been completed.
In fact, according to Lu Yao's plan, it should be completed by the end of September, but due to health reasons, it was postponed until late November.
But it was not serialized by "Flower City".
This is what Zhao Hongjun called and told, and Fang Minghua was not surprised.
That’s how history is.
"Red Army, have you signed the copyright for the second part with Lu Yao?" Fang Minghua asked on the phone.
“I signed it a long time ago. I personally went to the guest house of Tongchuan Coal Mine Hospital and signed the contract on the spot. The content is the same as the first one.”
"Okay, prepare to publish it. Don't print too many copies for the first printing, just ten or twenty thousand copies." Fang Minghua said.
"Okay, but Minghua, I have to tell you. When I saw Lu Yao this time, I found that his face was very poor. Did he have some disease?"
Fang Minghua's heart He fell silent, but his tone was calm: "I don't know, I'll go to his house tonight to have a look."
"Okay, I also told him, take it easy."
After hanging up the phone from Zhao Hongjun, Fang Minghua sighed slightly, whatever is supposed to come will come.
In the evening, Fang Minghua and his wife went back to their parents' place to have dinner together, then drove home and walked outside with his wife for a while, then sent her home before preparing to go to Lu Yao's house.
Lu Yao's family lives very close to Fang Minghua. It turns out that in January this year, after Lu Yao signed a contract with Shengshi Graphic Publishing Company and "Flower City" to publish the first part of "The Ordinary World", both parties paid him the remuneration The total amount is more than 10,000.
After discussing with his wife Linda, we directly bought a 100-square-meter house with three bedrooms and one living room in the Xingfu Community where Fang Minghua lived. They had just moved here.
Fang Minghua went up to the fourth floor and knocked on their home. The person who opened the door was a little girl wearing a red scarf, who was Lu Yao's daughter, Lu Yuan.
"Far away, is your dad at home?" Fang Minghua asked.
"Uncle Fang, my father is not at home, but my mother is." The little girl answered crisply.
Soon, Linda walked out of the bedroom, looking haggard.
Seeing it was Fang Minghua, he forced a smile on his face and greeted warmly: "It's Minghua, come in quickly."
Fang Minghua sat on the sofa and asked again: "Brother Lu What are you doing?”
After hearing this, Linda sighed deeply, looking sad.
"Hey, Lu Yao has returned to Qinbei."
"Back to Qinbei? Visited his parents?"
Linda shook her head, as if he was hesitating to speak, and then looked at He looked at his daughter next to him: "Far away, go back to your room to do your homework."
The little girl returned to her room obediently. Linda went over and closed the door before saying: "Minghua, Lu Yao I treat you like a brother, so I won’t hide some things from you. Lu Yao went to Qinbei not to visit his parents, but to see a doctor!”
It turns out that Lu Yao has initially completed "The Ordinary World". On the second draft, when I was revising it, I discovered that there was something wrong with my body.
I feel weak all over, and I feel sick when I see the lard and meat.
But in order to insist on writing, I never went to a large hospital for treatment. I just asked the doctor at the Coal Mine Hospital to prescribe random medicines until I completely completed the second draft, returned to Xijing, and then went to the hospital for examination.
"The doctor said that liver cirrhosis has caused liver ascites, which is very serious."
"Then you should be hospitalized for treatment quickly. Why did you go to Qinbei?" Fang Minghua didn't understand.
“The doctor said that it is very difficult to completely cure his current condition. Later, he heard that there was an old Chinese medicine doctor named Zhang Pengju in the Yulin area who was very good at treating this disease, so he went to Yulin.”< br>
Hey.
There are Xijing Hospital and Tangdu Hospital in Xijing City. These excellent hospitals that are ranked among the best in the country don’t go to Yulin for treatment, instead of going to Yulin? !
