Chapter 1 May Fourth Literary Society
On September 23, 1978, a meeting to reestablish the May Fourth Literary Society was held in the Beijing University Library. This incident made the students of Beijing University excited. Unable to enter the venue, they gathered outside the venue to get the news as soon as possible.
But there was an exception. A student passed by and went straight to the book borrowing area without even looking at the venue.
"Hello, comrade, I would like to borrow "Three Heroes and Five Righteousnesses"."
"Three Heroes and Five Righteousnesses?" The staff member was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "This classmate "Are you sure you want to borrow "Three Heroes and Five Righteousnesses"?"
"Yes!" Liu Hongmin nodded, "I study history. Reading ancient books can help me understand the environment at that time."
"Oh!" The staff suddenly understood after hearing this explanation, "This is a good idea. Just wait a moment, and I will get it for you right now."
At this time At Peking University, students cannot find books by themselves, but need staff to find them.
While waiting, a person came over and said, "Hongmin, are you here?"
"Old Zou!"
Liu Hongmin was not surprised at all when he saw the visitor. This person was the namer of the school magazine "Weiming Lake". It was impossible for him to be absent for such a big matter as the re-establishment of the May Fourth Literary Society.
Being able to participate in this matter, Zou Shifang is also a celebrity in Beijing University. It's not unusual for Liu Hongmin to know him. What's strange is that Zou Shifang knows Liu Hongmin. They seem to be very familiar with each other.
The two are only half fellow villagers. Zou Shifang is from Fengtian and Liu Hongmin is from Hanhai, both from the Northeast.
When Liu Hongmin entered school, it was Zou Shifang who greeted him and helped him complete the admission process. After that, the two got in touch, and later became acquainted with Liu Hongmin because they often looked for food.
These days, supplies are scarce, and even if you have money, you may not have enough to eat. Of course, as Beijing University students, neither of them has enough to eat. But eating well does not mean eating well, especially for Liu Hongmin, a person with memories of the 21st century.
In 2024, both materials and information are very developed. Suddenly returned to 1978, Liu Hongmin was quite uncomfortable.
However, one good thing about these days is that there are many opportunities, especially for time travellers.
He has now taken the first step, which is to be admitted to Beijing University.
Although it is only a history department, as long as he graduates, he can be assigned a job. Whether he goes to the cultural department to become a scholar-type official or stays in school to become a professor, it can help Liu Hongmin complete his class leap.
It’s not that he looks down on farmers, but that farmers suffer the most and suffer the most, but they get the least money and enjoy the worst treatment. Unless we are in the last days, farmers can only be at the bottom.
Not long after he traveled back in time, Liu Hongmin couldn't stand the poverty of this era, so he tried to think of ways to hunt game and hunt for teeth as a sacrifice. After arriving at Beijing University, although the food was better, it was still difficult to satisfy Liu Hongmin's already naughty mouth. Liu Hongmin would go to Weiming Lake every now and then to get some fish out and improve the food.
The children of farmers have long been in charge, and Liu Hongmin has good cooking skills. After Zou Shifang ate it once, he became dependent on Liu Hongmin, who is also a foodie.
So, the name "Weiming Lake", in addition to Weiming Lake representing Peking University, also carries the special memory of Zou Shifang.
"Hongmin, after the meeting is over in a while, the May Fourth Literary Society will be re-established. By then, "Weiming Lake" will also be accepting manuscripts. The novel you wrote can be directly submitted to " "Wei Ming Lake" Come."
"Shh-" Liu Hongmin quickly stopped Zou Shifang and took a look inside. The staff didn't seem to hear, and then whispered: "My story is a mystery novel. There’s nothing literary about it.”
Zou Shifang said with a smile: “Don’t underestimate yourself, we are all students, how can we get so much literary nature?”
"Why don't you come here? I don't know about you? You are all great talents and write poems so well. I don't have that much talent. I just want to write something and earn some pocket money."
"I know that "Weiming Lake" also pays royalties. Moreover, you should also know that "Weiming Lake" only accepts manuscripts inside the school, and the novel you write will be more competitive than outside."
Liu Hongmin thought about it and it seemed to make sense. Mystery novels do not have a large audience in this era, and are mainly concentrated among students. "Weiming Lake" is indeed a suitable platform.
"Okay, when I finish writing, you can take it over for me to take a look."
"No problem!"
Zou Shifang agreed. He had read Liu Hongmin's manuscript. Although the writing style was It is immature, but very watchable, and is very suitable for attracting students.
Soon, the staff gave "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" to Liu Hongmin.
Zou Shifang pulled him towards the venue, "Let's go! You will also be a member of the May Fourth Literary Society in the future. How can you miss such an important event?"
Liu Hongmin had no choice but to follow him outside the venue.
Soon, the venue opened its door. The big guys who came out saw the students watching, were stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Students, from now on, the May Fourth Literary Club has officially been reestablished!"
"Oh——"
The students present immediately cheered, and the sound resounded throughout the library.
Standing among the crowd, Liu Hongmin also felt a little excited. In the 21st century, his bloody spirit has long been wiped out bit by bit amid setbacks. But now, those passions that have been buried in the dust are gradually awakening.
He held the book in his hand tightly, thinking that he would study hard and join this vigorous tide of change. Even if you can't be a trend-setter, you still have to be a splash that goes with the flow, and you are bound to make some noise in the long river of history.
After returning to the dormitory, Liu Hongmin immediately took out the manuscript and began to continue writing the story:
Xiao Ai's body was hanging on the white silk, and he had been dead for a long time. There was a piece of paper on the ground. Bao Zheng picked it up and looked at it. It turned out to be Xiao Ai's final letter. It said that she killed the Crown Prince of Korea because she was humiliated...
"Young Bao Qingtian" is Liu Hongmin. The novel I am currently writing.
Liu Hongmin was deeply impressed by this TV series. When she first watched it, she felt astonished. Of course, many people said that this drama was plagiarized, but Liu Hongmin didn't care, it was a blast to watch!
Now Liu Hongmin studies ancient Chinese history, so when he wanted to write a novel, he immediately chose Shaobao. There are only a few high-quality costume mystery dramas. He can't write "Detective Di Renjie" and "The Punisher of the Song Dynasty" for the time being. Both of them have a lot of ancient dialogues, and the latter has a lot of forensic knowledge, which Liu Hongmin doesn't understand at all. .
Compared to them, it is much better to pack less. It is more than enough for a practice.
