Chapter 392 The situation escalates
Fang Minghua did not expect that he would almost be dragged into officialdom.
But to be honest, he didn’t want to enter.
In this era, the attractiveness and enthusiasm of young people within the civil service system are far less than that of later generations. Otherwise, many young people would jump out of the system and resolutely go to work?
Jack Ma was a teacher and worked in the Ministry of Foreign Trade, but he resolutely resigned to found Alibaba.
Shi Yuzhu was assigned to the Anhui Provincial Bureau of Statistics after graduation to study for graduate school. After graduation, he went to work to found the Giant Group.
Ren Zhengfei also transferred from the army to a local state-owned enterprise and resolutely resigned to start his own business.
In the early 1990s, this trend reached its peak. In 1992, after the great man's southern tour, 150,000 officials and intellectuals within the system went to sea one after another. This turning point in history created entrepreneurs.
Not to mention those college students who have just graduated, otherwise there would be no saying that "one hundred thousand talents go to Hainan".
We can't be entrepreneurs. We can live a happy life and do something meaningful for the country and the people to the best of our ability.
Fang Minghua originally thought that the incident in "People's Literature" would soon be over, but what he never expected was that it would ferment and become more and more troublesome.
Some people with ulterior motives launched a fierce attack on avant-garde literature, and "Yanhe" magazine, as the base camp of "avant-garde literature", gradually became the target of bombardment.
At this time, Fang Minghua was sitting in his office reading a literary review published in the magazine "Literary Theory". The title of the article was "Some My Brief Opinions on Pioneer Novels"
Title Very humble, but the content is aggressive and full of gunpowder:
"Pioneering novels, under the banner of "pioneer", have "weird and obscure" writing techniques, low style, vulgar and explicit content. Therefore, rectification It is urgent to purify the literary world! ”
Edi Shen Na
It is undeniable that some avant-garde novels do have the problems mentioned above, but Fang Minghua believes that these novels published in "Yanhe" do not have these problems.
I am very careful, otherwise I will reject Ma Jian’s novel directly.
Fang Minghua planned to ignore it.
People didn’t name “Yanhe”, so why should I take the title?
Drinking tea
Fang Minghua picked up the tea cup.
Tomorrow is Sunday. Where can I take my baby and my wife for a walk?
By the Bahe River?
Just as Fang Minghua was thinking, the door opened with a bang, and he saw Bai Miao hurried in holding a newspaper.
This guy didn't even knock on the door when he came in.
But it looks like something is urgent.
Fang Minghua didn't say anything, he just put down his tea cup and asked, "Is there something urgent?"
"Oops. I forgot to knock on the door." Bai Miao apologized, and then said : "Editor Fang, look at this."
It's a literary newspaper.
Fang Minghua took it, took a look, and his expression became serious.
The newspaper published an article criticizing avant-garde literature, but unlike the previous articles that used "map cannon", this time it directly used two articles as examples for criticism.
Mo Yan’s "Happiness"!
"April 3rd Incident" by Yu Hua!
Criticizing the former is a blasphemy against the image of mother, and criticizing the latter for being weird and incomprehensible. These two people are really a pair of brothers
Fang Minghua sighed inwardly.
But thinking about the storms in the past, what does this mean?
"Editor Fang, although this article only criticizes these two novels, it has obviously pointed to our "Yanhe"." Bai Miao also saw the seriousness of the matter, otherwise he would not be so anxious .
"Should we remove the novel by Su Tong from the editor-in-chief's recommendation column in the next issue?" Bai Miao made another suggestion.
This time the editor-in-chief column is launching a short story called "Blue and White Dyeing Shop" by Su Tong, which tells the story of "Blue and White Dyeing Shop" caused by three little boys searching for a yellow civet cat that disappeared for no reason.
The meaning of the novel is very similar to "Going for a Long Journey at the Age of Eighteen" written by Yu Hua. It can be said that they are all trying to express the panic and melancholy faced in life during the "adolescent encounter".
This is also one of the few "weird" texts by Su Tong, which seems to have just hit the "muzzle".
Fang Minghua did not answer himself but asked instead: "What do you mean?"
Bai Miao hesitated, and finally said: "I don't think I should change."
"In that case, there's no need to ask me again. I've already commented." Fang Minghua took a sip of tea calmly.
“You can really keep your composure.” Bai Miao said with a smile.
After all, Fang Minghua is the editor-in-chief, and he personally reviews and recommends the editor-in-chief’s recommended columns. If something happens, he will be the first to suffer.
Fang Minghua smiled and said leisurely, "Bai Miao, I remember that at the end of 1983, the unit held an emergency meeting to convey the spirit of superiors to eliminate mental pollution. I once read a poem to you, you Do you still remember? "
"Passengers should not ask about what happened in the past, the water flows from the east of the country," Bai Miao said.
"Yes, if it was a heavy rain last time, this time it can be considered a moderate rain at most, not even a moderate rain. As the Cantonese people say, "sprinkle water."
Fang Minghua imitated the emphasis of the Cantonese people, which made Bai Miao laugh
This guy.
In the past two years, Cantonese songs have begun to enter the mainland, and Bai Miao also understands "sprinkle water." "That's what drizzle means.
"Okay, regardless of those comments, we will proceed as we planned! "Bai Miao said.
"We can't ignore it." Fang Minghua suddenly said: "I'm worried that these authors like Yu Hua and Mo Yan will be under certain pressure."
They are not writers of Wang Meng or Zhang Xianliang's generation. After decades of ups and downs, I have withstood all kinds of storms, and now I have learned to be calm.
Not even Lu Yao, Chen Zhongshi, or Jia Pingwa, who have certain qualifications and status in the literary world, are vice-chairmen of the Provincial Writers Association, and this is a talisman in a sense.
They are just fledgling authors. Although they are somewhat famous in the literary world, they have not experienced such a blow from non-literary sources. Can they withstand it?
Bai Miao immediately understood what Fang Minghua meant and said immediately: "What do you mean? Write them a letter to comfort and encourage them?"
"That's what I mean! Bai Miao, please send a letter to each of the great contract signers, especially the authors of avant-garde novels, telling them to write boldly, and our "Yanhe" magazine will check it for them! If there is a problem, we Hold on!"
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to start writing!" Bai Miao walked away happily.
Fang Minghua guessed right.
Yu Hua was really scared.
