Chapter 239 "Once Upon a Time" is published

With the conclusion of the Mao Dun Literature Award award ceremony, news about the award also appeared in major newspapers across the country.

Seven award-winning writers, including dialects, and their works once again spread all over the country.

Relevant news is published in Wenhui Po.

Gong Zhen picked up the scissors, carefully cut it out, and then pasted it into his collection of newspaper clippings, skillfully making a newspaper clipping.

Then, I simply tidied it up, put the collection of newspaper clippings into my bag, and took it with me to work at Shanghai Film Studio.

"Good morning, Sister Gongjie."

"Good morning, Xiaoyu."

After Gongjie greeted Zhang Yu and the others, he came to the public phone seemingly casually , made a call to Yanjing Publishing House.

“Teacher Fang, your cousin’s phone number!”

Amid Uncle Qin's shouts, Fang Yan quickly went downstairs.

"Hello, cousin."

When Gong Zhen heard him calling "cousin", it meant that there were other people around him. , but there is nothing to hide.

I made this call just to congratulate him on winning the award.

"That's it. The uncle went to the boiler room to fetch water."

Fang Yan looked around and saw no one around.

"Yanzi."

Gong Qie had just chatted with him for a few words, and frowned, "Why does your voice sound so weak? Is it because the signal is not good?"

“It’s not a signal problem.”

Fang Yan sighed faintly: "I may be sick."

"Sick?!"

Gong Jie was startled and said anxiously: "What kind of disease? Is it serious?" Have you gone to the hospital to take a look..."

"It doesn't matter, it's just insomnia."

"How can I have insomnia?"

"Alas, two trees are not a forest, but there is a heart in the field."

"Okay, you lied to me again!"

Gong Jie was ashamed and annoyed when he heard "Lovesickness becomes a disease".

"Why did I lie to you? Really, I was probably sick and couldn't sleep anyway. I sat up and spread out the letter. I saw that I was so happy for no reason. Your name was written crookedly on every page. Name."

Fang Yan suppressed a smile.

Gong Qie's cheeks turned red at first. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this sentence was very familiar, "Pfft, you just tampered with Mr. Lu Xun's words. It's superfluous!"

Fang Yan smiled and said, "I changed the tree." What does Mr. Ren say about Mr. Lu Xun? What's the matter?"

Gong Qian laughed and scolded: "I'm so angry!"

"Then I won't say that in the future."

"Just don't say it. If you don’t say it, others can’t force you to say it.”

"Okay, then I'll tell you Mr. Lu Xun's exact words."

Fang Yan cleared his throat, "It's probably been so long since I've seen you that I think everyone looks like you, and they all look like you." I almost didn’t understand.”

There was no reply from the other end of the phone for a long time.

It was so quiet that you could even hear Gong Xie’s rapid breathing due to shyness. After a while, a voice came from the receiver:

“Keep talking nonsense, I won’t pay attention to you. ~”

"Why are you talking nonsense?"

"Is this really what Mr. Lu Xun said?"

"Of course, that's what Mr. Lu Xun said."

"Mr. Lu Xun still said such things?"

"No! Mr. Lu Xun never said anything."

Hearing him burst into laughter, Gong Zhen realized that he had been fooled again, but instead of becoming angry, he enjoyed it.

Those two love words are quite nice...

The two of them talked to each other about their daily work and life. Gong Qie finally couldn't hold it back and asked: "When will you come to Shanghai?" City?”

“It will take a while.”

Fang Yan said that Li Cunbao’s script has not been written yet.

And I am going to Prince Gong’s Mansion at the end of the month to attend the Red Society Symposium held by CCTV with Wu Zuxiang, Wan Jiabao and others.

"Okay."

Gong Qie couldn't help but feel disappointed, and suddenly heard him say "cousin" again. There was no doubt that Uncle Qin, who was fetching water, was back.

Hanging up the phone reluctantly, Fang Yan smacked his lips.

"Teacher Fang, are you finished?"

Uncle Qin made himself a cup of strong tea.

"It's done, uncle."

Fang Yan saw him holding the sample issue of "Flower City" he had sent, and asked casually, "What do you think of my manuscript?"

"Okay! Great!"

Uncle Qin said: "Many people have asked me to borrow it. They all want to watch 'Once Upon a Time' and are looking forward to this issue of 'Flower City' Can be released quickly”

Two days later, the latest issue of "Flower City" came out. "Grandpa, it's time to eat."

Bai Ruoxue walked out of the kitchen and shouted towards the living room.

But I saw Bai Yaoshan motionless, holding a magazine in his hand, his face sometimes solemn, sometimes excited, and kept saying:

"Interesting, interesting."

"Grandpa, are you watching "Once Upon a Time" again?"

Bai Ruoxue walked out carrying the plate.

"Such a wonderful book, I must read it several times."

Bai Yaoshan stood up and came to the restaurant.

“What do you think is strange?”

Bai Ruoxue saw "Flower City" in his hand. From the day she got it home, she read it twice. The rest of the time was "occupied" by Bai Yaoshan, and she only watched "The Grandmaster Huang Feihong".

“This opening chapter is so wonderful!”

Bai Yaoshan turned back to the first page.

On the teahouse, there is a mixture of people, people drinking tea, listening to operas, and walking birds. It is just like a replica of a "teahouse".

At this time, a group of Western missionaries were walking by on the street, singing "Hallelujah", which attracted everyone's attention.

The Chinese troupe in the teahouse looked over and quickly called on his companions to pull the erhu violently, insisting on suppressing the foreign singing.

This is the common people's way of expressing their dissatisfaction and indignation against the foreign invasion. Just as the Chinese folk music was suppressing "Hallelujah", a loud whistle suddenly sounded.

Suddenly, the teahouse became quiet.

The musicians in the troupe were dejected one by one, put away their harps, and bowed their arms to the unstoppable sound of the warship's whistle.

“Ruoxue, do you think this is wonderfully written?”

Bai Yaoshan sighed repeatedly.

Bai Ruoxue nodded and said: "Teacher Fang used this whistle to point out an unavoidable and grim reality in the late Qing Dynasty. The industrial civilization of the West came to the land of agricultural civilization in the East."

"Yes."

Bai Yaoshan sighed: "Faced with strong ships and cannons, even Huang Fei No matter how high Hong's martial arts are, it will not help. "

Bai Ruoxue said: "Grandpa, Teacher Fang told me that he designed Huang Feihong to be a bystander, witnessing the turbulent situation of internal and external troubles, but not knowing. Where to go, just like the young people of our generation, sometimes we are confused and can’t tell the direction.”

"I'm afraid it's not all."

Bai Yaoshan said that the group of statues here are very interesting.

"Grandpa, let's chat while eating."

Bai Ruoxue ran into the kitchen and quickly brought out two bowls of rice.

The grandfather and grandson were discussing while eating.

Just like in "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong corresponds to "Jin Gong" and Zhu Bajie corresponds to "Mu Mu". Huang Feihong, Thirteenth Aunt, Lin Shirong, Yacasu and others all have their own meaning.

For example, Huang Feihong’s apprentices, Lin Shirong and Liang Kuan, were upright and courageous, but limited in their narrow vision. They represented the conservatives who completely rejected foreign culture in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.

On the contrary, it is a rootless Piaoping who returned from studying abroad but overcorrected. It represents the rootless Piaoping who fully accepted Western culture in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China but lost its national heritage.

Aunt Thirteen is the only one who can master both Chinese and Western knowledge.

Tolerant of thought, able to integrate the two cultures well, and became the enlightener of Huang Feihong's ideological awakening.

"Plus this chivalrous and righteous Huang Feihong."

Bai Ruoxue's eyes lit up, "Teacher Fang hopes that young people can be like Thirteenth Aunt and like Huang Feihong, who can be civilized and martial. A man with high ambitions and great chivalry serves the country and the people. "Maybe this is the meaning behind his design."

Bai Yaoshan was full of praise.

"Thirteenth Aunt..."

As Bai Ruoxue muttered, she couldn't help but think of the scene where Thirteenth Aunt taught Huang Feihong "Love Tiger Oil", and also thought of the scene where she taught Teacher Fang a foreign language. For a moment, she felt weird and surprised.

While he was thinking about it, Bai Yaoshan shook his head and laughed: "But it's a pity, this novel seems to be unfinished."

"Grandpa, can you see this?"

“It’s so obvious, how could I not see it?”

Bai Yaoshan smiled.

From the Shahe Gang who sells "pig flowers" and "piglets" to the White Lotus Sect who cheats and pretends to be gods, the theme of this part is "awakening", which is the awakening of people's wisdom.

We must open our eyes to see the world, and we must also see the world squarely.

From Nalan Yuanshu to Mr. Sun and Lu Haodong, the theme of this part is "revolution", which means ideological awakening. No matter whether you study medicine or martial arts, you can't save the Chinese people.

The Qing court must be overthrown to find a way out!

“No wonder Teacher Fang would borrow Mr. Sun’s words in the end and say, ‘I hope the morning sun will always shine on our land, and never forget the blood of the martyrs on the ground.’”

Bai Ruoxue suddenly realized.

"This is to say that for the sake of sacrifice and ambition, one dares to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky." Bai Yaoshan said regretfully, "It's a pity that I can't watch the next part right away. I really want to see what he does next. How do you write it? "

Bai Ruoxue said that she was translating "Saving Private Ryan" for dialects, so she could find an opportunity to ask her grandfather.

“Forget it, let’s bother Yanzi again later.”

“Why, Grandpa?”

“Although this novel combines historical backgrounds such as the history of blood and tears in Nanyang, and integrates the themes of the times of patriotism and resistance to the great powers, and also includes love, martial arts, and entertainment, even if it is serious literature in popular literature, it is still popular literature. ”
< br>Bai Yaoshan said: "In the literary world, not everyone can accept popular literature, even if the author speaks in dialect."

Bai Ruoxue suddenly realized, took the magazine with a heavy heart, and flipped through it until Turned to the last page.

The above is a reader feedback questionnaire for "The Grandmaster Once Upon a Time", and there are also small prizes.
