Chapter 502 Farewell to the literary event of the 1980s
Of course Fang Minghua knows about the National Young Writers Creative Conference.
Referred to as "Youth Entrepreneurship Association", the first Youth Entrepreneurship Association was formed in 1956 by the Chinese Writers Association, the Central Committee of the Youth League, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions and other units, with Lao She as the director, Liu Baiyu as the deputy director, Gong Mu is the secretary-general of the preparatory committee.
The second session was in 1965 when the Chinese Writers Association and the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League jointly held the National Amateur Literary Creation Activists Conference in Yanjing.
Among the more than 1,100 representatives attending the meeting, the vast majority came from grassroots units such as factories, rural areas, and the army. Relevant leaders met with the representatives.
It is now being held for the third time.
It was originally held at the beginning of the year, but was postponed to the end of the year due to various reasons. Except for Chen Zhongshi who was too old (over 40 years old), the other three "four carriages" of Qin Province were called to the meeting. notify.
Fang Minghua, as a director of the Writers Association, will naturally attend the meeting held by the Writers Association, but what the hell is the "Literary Night·Yanjing·89" party?
Fang Minghua called the Provincial Writers Association to inquire about the situation, and found out that the organizers were the Chinese Literature Foundation, Youth Daily, Workers Daily, Literary News, and Sports News, and the general director was Zhang Xinxin of the Yanjing People's Art Theater.
They are all official institutions, not copycats.
"Minghua, why do you want to hold this literary party on December 31st?" Song Tangtang was a little confused when he saw this letter.
“Maybe it’s time to say goodbye to the 1980s and welcome the 1990s.” Fang Minghua said lightly.
On December 23, Fang Minghua, Lu Yao, and Jia Pingwa each carried their travel bags and boarded the train to Yanjing.
As representatives of Qin Province, of course there are not just the three of them, but also Gao Jianqun, Mo Shi, and Wang Xiaoxin. In addition, the Northwestern University Writers Class also has three outstanding students, one of whom has a good relationship with Fang Minghua. Liao Runbo.
Although Liao Runbo secretly wrote two tomb-robbing novels in the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series, he did not give up serious literary creation. During this period, he also wrote the novella "Who Opened the Door". Bai Miao has become the editor-in-chief. It was published in the editor-in-chief recommendation column of "Yanhe" and won a lot of praise.
They walked together, taking sleeper berths, and the round trip expenses were reimbursed by the Provincial Writers Association.
Liao Runbo was sleeping on the upper bunk. At this time, he was sitting on Fang Minghua's bed in the lower bunk, chatting with Fang Minghua.
"Runbo, when you go to Yanjing this time, you will probably be able to meet some students from the Lu Academy workshop. Yu Hua will definitely participate." Fang Minghua said with a smile.
"Yes. I graduated in 1987. More than two years have passed in the blink of an eye. Time flies so fast. When I was studying in Luyuan, it seems like it happened yesterday." Liao Runbo said with emotion.
"Hey, Runbo, which song "Desire" do you like to sing?" Lu Yao next to him interrupted with a smile.
The TV series "Desire" hasn't been broadcast in Qin Province yet, but the theme song is a huge hit.
After hearing this, everyone laughed.
The long years
I want to say that I was so confused back then
It was hard to choose between reality and fantasy
A female student took the lead in singing, and the car was filled with singing.
In Yanjing, Yu Hua was chatting with Chen Hong in his dormitory. It was cold outside and there was nowhere to go. It would be warmer if he stayed in the dormitory.
He and Mo Yan shared a dormitory at Yan Normal University. Whenever Chen Hong came to see Yu Hua, Mo Yan would find an excuse to leave so as not to be a light bulb.
"Teacher Fang has already left for Yanjing, right?" Yu Hua said, "I'm sorry I haven't seen you for more than a year."
"There will be a meeting the day after tomorrow. He should be on the train. Otherwise, it’s too late, and Liao Runbo will probably come too,” Chen Hong said.
"Yes, why did I forget him? Hey, is Li Hongying coming?"
"I don't know." Chen Hong shook his head: "I wrote her a letter a few days ago, but I haven't seen her yet. I haven’t heard from him since.”
“It would be great if I could come. I haven’t seen him for a year since we met at the Huashan Conference last year,” Yu Hua said with emotion.
"I wonder if He Liwei, who returned to Changsha, and Qian Yuliang, who is in the NTU writers class, will come? I have never seen him again after the workshop."
"I hope they all will come. I can see you." Chen Hong clasped her hands on her chest. She didn't feel anything during the few months in the workshop, but she really missed it after leaving. "Yes, you all can come. Let's bid farewell to the 1980s together."
Shanghai, train station.
A girl in a red ski jacket carried a travel bag and ran towards the ticket gate of the waiting hall in a panic.
She is Li Hongying.
Taking the bus from school to the train station encountered a traffic jam and was about to be delayed!
When the staff at the ticket gate closed the gate at the last second and prepared to leave, Li Hongying rushed over. After checking in, she ran to the platform out of breath while carrying her travel bag.
Finally, she got on the train to Yanjing, and she breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly found her seat and sat down without taking a rest.
We will arrive in Yanjing tomorrow.
Yu Hua and Chen Hong must be in Yanjing now.
Liao Runbo will also go, right? There is also Li Tieling who returned to Northeast Tieling.
You can meet these classmates who were originally from Luyuan’s workshops.
Of course, there is also the respectable and lovely Teacher Fang.
Thinking of this, Li Hongying felt happy.
On this train bound for Yanjing, there was also an excited young man, Ge Fei from East China Normal University.
He was also invited to participate in this year’s Youth Entrepreneurship Conference.
After Ge Fei published "The Lost Boat" and "The Brown Birds", he published short and medium-length novels such as "Green and Yellow" and "Trail of Dawn" in one breath, becoming another rising star in Shanghai after Wang Anyi. Rise a new star.
Together with Yu Hua, who was studying in Yanjing, and Su Tong, who worked at the "Zhongshan" magazine in Nanjing, they were known as the Three Musketeers of Jiangnan in the literary world.
Yu Hua heard that he was taking a master’s writer class at Yanjing Normal University in Yanjing. He must be in Yanjing now, and Su Tong will definitely come too, right?
Although the two are not far apart, one in Shanghai and the other in Nanjing, they have not contacted each other since they met at a seminar for young and middle-aged writers held in Xijing in 1985. However, they all pay attention to each other's articles.
Su Tong was walking alone on the campus of Yan Normal University at this time.
He graduated from here 5 years ago and had long wanted to come back to see it.
Lu Xun's relief sculpture, the May 4th Memorial Square, the ninth floor of the teaching building, Jingwen Lecture Hall, and Lover's Po Su Tong silently looked at these places where he once lived.
Finally he stood in front of a dormitory building.
I heard that this is the dormitory of the graduate writer class jointly organized by my alma mater and the Lu Academy.
There lived young people like him who were full of dreams of literature.
There are too many young people like this, and many of them are probably on their way.
Han Shaogong was taking a train from Huacheng to Yanjing. Haikou was far away, so he left three days in advance.
Can Xue came from Changsha.
Wang Anyi came from Shanghai.
Tie Nian came from Shijiazhuang.
Zhang Kangkang came from Harbin.
These young people from all over the country and young writers from Yanjing attended this grand event to bid farewell to the 1980s and welcome the arrival of the 1990s.
