Chapter 20 The upper reaches of Weiming Lake
The incident of "My Brothers and Sisters" made Liu Hongmin a little depressed.
Zou Shifang also felt guilty about the crow's mouth, so he invited his friends to take a boat trip on Weiming Lake on the weekend.
"Let us swing the oars, and the boat will push away the waves..."
A group of adults in their twenties even sang songs that children like, which shows that these years There is so little entertainment, yet I am still singing this song after visiting the lake for so many years.
Liu Hongmin thought: Not to mention now, even in the next forty years, this song will still be the divine song of Lake Tour.
"Hongmin, don't be discouraged." Zou Shifang shouted loudly: "Didn't you say that as long as you write more, you will definitely succeed."
Liu Hongmin is speechless, when will I be discouraged? Already? I'm just a little depressed, and I've gotten better a long time ago. I have already begun to think about what novel I will write next, but I haven’t told you yet.
Also, what do you think? Why let me and Cha Jianying be on the same boat?
Zha Jianying, who used to talk a lot, was unusually silent today. She didn't say a word after getting on the boat.
"That!" Liu Hongmin also scratched his head. He also knew that the current situation was a bit embarrassing, so it was like this to break the silence.
"Senior sister, I heard that you are also writing novels?"
Zha Jianying said softly "Hmm" and regained her cheerful personality.
“I also want to try a magazine outside the school.”
Liu Hongmin was stunned for a moment. He remembered that Cha Jianying only wanted to write after studying abroad. She is thinking about writing now. Is it the butterfly effect caused by his time travel?
Maybe Cha Jianying originally wrote it, but like "My Brothers and Sisters", it didn't make any splash.
Liu Hongmin: "How is the progress?"
Zha Jianying said a little embarrassed: "I have written the beginning, and I am still revising it."
Liu Hongmin comforted : "Sister, don't worry, your family has writing talent. Mr. Cha from Xiangjiang started his career by writing, and now he has become a newspaper tycoon."
Mr. Cha is Jin Yong who founded "Ming Pao" Sir, he and Cha Jianying are distant relatives. After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, the cultural ban was lifted, and Mr. Jin Yong’s martial arts novels could finally be read openly. Since 1979, Mr. Jin Yong's reputation has grown day by day, and many young people admire Mr. Jin Yong.
The two are related, and Zha Jianying heard this from her father recently. It is precisely because of this relationship that her family has become a bridge of communication between China and Mr. Jin Yong.
Being able to go to Xiangjiang, Cha Jianying’s family has experienced earth-shaking changes. As long as you find a serious job in Xiangjiang, you can earn tens of thousands a year, and your quality of life will immediately improve countless times. Because of this, her family became the pioneers in China to open their eyes to the world. Even though Zha Jianying was deeply influenced by this, she also hoped to go abroad to see it.
Zha Jianying smiled reluctantly, "You are right, you have to dare to write. If you don't write, you really don't know your own shortcomings. Others say that I am good at writing, but when it comes to writing , but I found that my thinking was too scattered. I wanted to write this and that, but I couldn’t save the time of deleting it. I just filled it out at the beginning.”
“Senior sister, you need to do it. When writing an outline, think about the storyline and never add anything that shouldn’t be added.”
“I am also aware of this, but I am hesitant to rewrite it.”
Liu Hongmin. He smiled and said: "You just fell into a misunderstanding. As long as you apply the knowledge you learned in class, you will know what to do."
Zha Jianying nodded, "I will."
Cha Jianying’s topic was so talked about that Liu Hongmin didn’t know how to answer the conversation. Zha Jianying also realized this and smiled sheepishly. Soon, she regained her usual cheerfulness and reopened the topic, "Hongmin, you don't seem to like scar literature very much."
Liu Hongmin spread his hands, "Life has changed. It’s so painful, why do I still read those depressing works?”
"Cure?" Zha Jianying looked at him puzzled, "What does scar literature cure?"
"It causes depression, depression."
"It causes depression!!? ?" Zha Jianying was amused, "You are really interesting."
Liu Hongmin also laughed, "Maybe I am optimistic by nature!"
After laughing for a while, Yingcai asked: "Don't you think we should reflect on that special period?"
"Of course we should reflect on it!" Liu Hongmin agreed with reflection, but he did not recognize the reflection of scar literature, "Reflection is To understand the causes and consequences, scar literature’s reflections on that special period only focus on the consequences of the pain, but turn a blind eye to the causes. This is wrong. "
Zha Jianying asked in surprise. : "How should we reflect on it?"
"Understand its cause and how it went astray, so that after we reflect on it, we can avoid it happening again."
Cha Jian Ying pondered, "What you said makes sense."
Liu Hongmin: "So, I don't understand it, so I won't write scar literature. "My Brothers and Sisters" is about as much as I can write. It’s the limit.”
Zha Jianying stared at Liu Hongmin for a long time and asked an unrelated question.
"Hongmin, have you ever thought about studying abroad?"
Liu Hongmin was stunned for a moment, "I major in history, what do I study abroad?"
"Study History!"
Liu Hongmin couldn't help laughing, "Don't be ridiculous, there is no history to learn abroad?"
Zha Jianying was stunned, "Why don't you? Doesn’t the history department have world history?”
Liu Hongmin leaned back, “Eighty percent of that world history is made up by modern people, whoever believes it is a fool.”
"How could it be?" Zha Jianying said in disbelief: "The four major ancient civilizations, ancient Greece, ancient Rome..."
"We will not talk about the four major ancient civilizations and ancient Greece for the time being. It is recorded in the history books of ancient Rome. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ban Chao sent Gan Ying to continue his mission to the west. Gan Ying reached the east coast of the Mediterranean. He wanted to cross the sea to the west, but the locals said: 'The sea is wide and the water is salty. Food. It takes three months for travelers to reach the other side when there is a favorable wind; it takes three years to reach the other side when there is a headwind. According to the current mainstream historical understanding, Gan Ying returned after hearing that the sea was dangerous. The territory included the east coast of the Mediterranean. How could Gan Ying not know about Rome? "
" Even if according to the mainstream historians, Gan Ying reached the Persian Gulf, then how could he not continue to the west? How could Gan Ying dare to disobey Ban Chao's order and return halfway when others tried to stop him? You know that Alexander's expedition swept through Western Asia easily. Gan Ying could attract the attention of the Parthians, so he could send someone there, right? "
A series of questions confused Zha Jianying. How could she understand this?
Looking at Zha Jianying's confused expression, Liu Hongmin breathed a sigh of relief quietly. Such a straight man performance should make Cha Jianying retreat, right?
