Chapter 44: Offer up
The peak of "Youth Literature" was more than 800,000 per issue, but that was in the 1970s and 1980s.
At the turn of the millennium, the physical publishing industry suffered a heavy blow. In the past, a poem published in a publication could receive countless letters from young college girls.
Nowadays, the halo of writers and poets seems to have been largely taken away by film and television stars.
Of course, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. In the 1910s, writers were still a respected profession, and "Youth Literature" also maintained a sales volume of about 300,000 per issue.
Students generally don't buy juvenile literature magazines on their own. After all, most people's pocket money is used to buy more interesting reading materials such as Zhiyin Manke, Animation Frontline, and Dynamic New Force.
To put it more directly, if your family can order "Youth Literature", your family conditions are pretty good. Just like Zhang Yudong, Zhou Lin and others. Of course, the former only ordered milk at home, while the latter also ordered "Reader".

Picture·Lanyin]
Since it is a journal for teenagers, the tone of the introduction must be aimed at students who read the article. To put it more bluntly, the tone is from the standpoint of student's position.
Secondly, there are many pictures in the book, and even every article has an illustration. The author of each picture will be marked with the author in the lower left corner.
The illustration of the reading map is a piggy-shaped piggy bank...
Many middle school and high school students remember Gu Lu, the author of "Smashing the Piggy", because the introduction was very good!
“Is it so good-looking?”
“Can you show it to your parents, is it true or not?”
“If it doesn’t look good, I’ll write about it later.”
Some students also have a little bit of rebellious mentality, and journals have never praised authors so highly in the past.
Xiaoxi, who is studying in a key junior high school, has similar thoughts. She uses this publication to relieve her boredom, because the size of the physical publication is quite large. For example, it contains a majestic description of the ignorant feelings between junior high school students.
["Don't worry." I whispered into its ear, "I will save you."...]
"Is it well written? What's better?" Xiaoxi frowned I don’t understand. Tell a story about a little kid saving a piggy bank?
Besides, Xiaoxi doesn't like watching "Fruit Attack" either.
This magazine has many columns, [Novel Tribe] [Fairy Tale Space] [Xinxing Shuo] [Prose Wind Chime] and so on.
"Smashing Piggy" is in [Xinxing Shuo], and this column only has one article in each issue. Xiaoxi still loves the stories in [Novel Tribe] because the story is stronger.
After finishing reading it in a short time, Xiaoxi was about to close the door and secretly play on the computer for a while -
"Peng!" The door could not be closed, and Xiaoxi finally woke up, because for her After buying a computer, the parents were worried about secretly using it to play games, so they changed the door.
Xiaoxi’s father, Father Li, is a house structural designer. Although he is not engaged in interior decoration, designing a bedroom door is child’s play. Anyway, if the computer enters her house, Xiaoxi will have no private space. She can understand her parents' concerns, but she still has the thought that she knew she shouldn't have this computer.
"No..." Xiaoxi suddenly seemed to understand something, and picked up the "Youth Literature and Art" that he had finished reading, and turned to the two pages of Xiaozhu.
I read it through again. I don’t know why, but the second time Xiaoxi felt a strong sense of involvement in the “me” in the story.
Xiaoxi made a decision. When his parents came home from get off work around seven o'clock, according to the introduction, he immediately went over to show them "Smashing the Pig".
However, the parents’ reaction was very different from Xiaoxi’s expectation.
“The author Gu Lu who wrote this article is also a student? It’s amazing that he has published an article in a magazine at such a young age.”
"Xiaoxi, you should also follow my example. A simple piggy bank story can be made so interesting by others. I can't hold it in for a 600-word essay."
"Order this for you. The magazine wants you to learn how to write articles in it, and Gu Lu is the target of your learning.”
“The editors of the magazine always praise Gu Lu, how happy I would be if I were the parent of this child.”< br>
Father Li and Mother Li had a mixed oral education, and the former took "Youth Literature and Art" to read other contents.
The child’s mother began to check the homework for the weekend.
The end page is the evaluation form - "Juvenile Literature and Art" June prize judging.
The questions are quite comprehensive, including your overall feelings about this issue, whether you are satisfied with the cover of this issue, and your favorite columns. It is very comprehensive.
The two more interesting options are [articles I like] and [articles I don’t like]. Xiaoxi is not interested in filling in this, but Father Li is quite interested...
Gu Lu didn’t know that President Jian’s strong positive attitude had given him a little fame in the juvenile literature circle. It would not be an exaggeration to say that President Jian was his talent.
President Jian also registered "Smashing Piggy" for the "China National Outstanding Children's Literature Award", which is held every three years, just in time for the 2010 to 2012 awards.
Even though it is difficult to win a prize when you sign up for the first time, President Jian thinks it is good to be nominated.
Lack of confidence, he still didn’t give President Jian a reply to the author’s proposal. At present, Gu Lu only knew that there was a difficult decision before him.
A big thing happened in Class 5.
How old is it exactly? Gu Lu didn't know the details. It was class monitor Chen Na who called to inform him that something urgent happened and he must be at school at 3:30 in the afternoon.
Gu Lu didn’t have to go to school for Sunday night study, but Chen Na was more serious.
"What's the big deal? Even if I ask, I won't say anything, and my tone is quite strict." Gu Lu was too lazy to go to school and was curious about what was going on.
"Let's do this, I will go if the letter is up, but I won't go if the flower is up."
Gu Lu took out a 50-cent coin from the piggy bank and accompanied it The coin fell on the back of the hand, and the result appeared——
Literally.
Facts have proved that Gu Lu should find a day to raise the piggy bank. Not only did it bring him "The Bus Driver Who Wants to Be God", but the coins he "spit out" also gave him the correct choose.
