Chapter 223 The Historian's Swan Song

Yao Changsheng's series of speeches on Qi Yuan's "5000 Years of China" in the "Cultural Forum" has become a trump card of CCTV Science and Education Channel.

The average ratings of this series so far have exceeded 5 points.

You know, this is a cultural speech program.

Its basic audience is actually not that wide.

But after Yao Changsheng started to talk about "5000 Years of China", the attention of this program has obviously increased.

Even the webcast data of this show is up.

Every issue can break through the tens of millions mark.

This can be regarded as the number one among Huaguo's cultural programs.

It's the kind that no one has ever seen before.

This program is also highly discussed on the Internet, especially by Qi Yuan's fans.

In this series written by Qi Yuan, some parts are actually a bit advanced and a bit incomprehensible.

But after Yao Changsheng's interpretation, the fans suddenly realized.

It turns out that this point means this, and it turns out that this place should be understood in this way.

In Qi Yuan's fan group, everyone is talking about this show.

"Teacher Yao taught me so well, she explained to me many things that I didn't understand."

"After Teacher Yao's speech, how do I feel that the 5000-year series written by Qi Yuan seems to be not as simple as we seem!"

"The more I listen to "Cultural Lecture Forum", the more I feel that Qi Yuan is amazing! This is no longer a human being, but a god! He can connect countless stories and characters in this land of the Central Plains! This man How did your brain grow! It's amazing!"

"I dare say that if Qi Yuan finishes writing this series, he will definitely become a god!"

"Which emperor do you all like? I have already become a fan of the baby Emperor Shihuang!"

"Look at this, from now on, will Mr. Yao talk about Qi Yuan's series in the "Cultural Forum" once?"

"Must tell it once! I like it so much!"

"Yes! Must tell!"

"I just don't know when Qi Yuan will be able to finish writing this series!"

"Then I don't know! Anyway, I'm still young, so I can afford to wait!"

And amidst everyone's heated discussions, the second issue of "Qin Han" in "Cultural Forum" has begun.

The theme of this issue is "Sima Qian".

……

……

During the Jing and Wu years of the Western Han Dynasty, Sima Qian was born.

No one knows, and he himself probably won't know that in the future, he will accomplish an event that shines through the past.

The long river of history has rolled and stretched for countless years, and the turbulent waves have slapped one bank after another.

In many cases, only a few of them can make waves in the years.

And Sima Qian, without a doubt, was one of the few waves.

In the field of history, he will complete the masterpiece of "studying the time between heaven and man, understanding the changes of the past and the present, and forming the words of a family".

Such a person can only be born once in hundreds of years.

Such a person can burst out with infinite power in a limited life.

Perhaps fate will crush his bones;

Perhaps, the annual rings will obliterate his gaze;

Perhaps, the emperor's mind will make him prostrate on the ground.

But he, in this era when Emperor Wu was coercing the country, relied on his own strength to lay down the rules for writing history for future generations and for the next thousand years.

……

When Sima Qian was 20 years old, he began to travel around the world.

Departing from the imperial capital Chang'an, Sima Qian toured the great Han Dynasty under the command of Emperor Wu Liu Che.

perhaps……

He once lingered by the Wujiang River where the overlord of Western Chu committed suicide, wondering why the overlord refused to cross Jiangdong.

perhaps……

He once walked outside the Miluo River, thinking about Qu Yuan's "the road is long and long, and I will search up and down."

or……

In his ears, the same words that echoed in Jing Ke's ears sounded, "The wind is rustling, the water is cold, and the strong man will never return when he is gone."

He walked the road of Qin Shihuang's southern tour;

He stepped on the track of Confucius traveling around the world.

Could it be that he also saw the eyes of the cow that carried Lao Tzu west out of Hangu Pass on a starry night, and then waved kindly to it in the upper reaches of the long river of history.

He crossed mountains and seas, and the world seemed to be included in his heart.

……

Sima Qian's family is a historian passed down from generation to generation.

He has always had a wish.

It is necessary to write a book for the history of this nation for thousands of years.

however……

Here comes the thing.

Li Ling, after the general of the Han Dynasty, is the grandson of Li Guang.

He actually surrendered to the Huns.

This news exploded in the sky above Chang'an City, shaking the hearts of countless people in this city.

The word Li Ling instantly became an unmentionable shame in the Han Dynasty.

But at this time, Sima Qian stood up.

He defended Li Ling, so he was imprisoned and sentenced to death.

At this time, he has two choices.

One is to die.

If you die, it's over.

And there is another one, that is to accept the castration and survive.

Only by living can we continue our unfinished ideals.

How can a person who has been tortured still live in this world?
The names of Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, and various schools of thought whispered in his ears.

Nuwa waved the willow stick that made man, and countless mud spots fell on him.

He seemed to see the pair of big hands stirring everything in the fog of history.

He grabbed it.

He wrote about his choice in "Bao Ren An Shu".

"Men are inherently mortal, or they are heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather."

"King Gaiwen acted "Book of Changes" when he was arrested; Zhong Nier wrote "Spring and Autumn"; Qu Yuan was exiled, but wrote "Li Sao"; Zuoqiu was blind, and Jue had "Guoyu"; Moved to Shu, handed down "Lu Lan" from generation to generation; Han Fei imprisoned Qin, "Said Difficulty" and "Solitary Anger"; "Poems" three hundred pieces, the works of great sages who were angry."

An indescribable, noble consciousness of wanting to "study the relationship between heaven and man, understand the changes of the past and the present, and become a family story" was formed in Sima Qian's mind.

Thus, he began the compilation of "Historical Records", an "unprecedented" biographical style.

The full text of "Historical Records" has more than 52 words.

Divided into: Ten Tables, Eight Books, Twelve Benji, Thirty Aristocratic Families, and Seventy Biographies.

……

On the TV, Yao Changsheng narrated word by word.

The eyes of countless audience members were red.

Sima Qian is great in Qi Yuan's writing.His "Historical Records", I think, is epoch-making in this series.

But I didn't expect, and didn't dare to think, that Qi Yuan's brushstrokes were so ruthless.

After finishing writing "Historical Records", Qi Yuan didn't describe Sima Qian anymore, not even a single word.

We don't even know when Sima Qian died.

I don't even know whether Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has read Sima Qian's "Historical Records".

Because "Historical Records" was edited by Sima Qian in private, it was not until his grandson Yang Yun presented it to the court, and in the era of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, this masterpiece was finally published.

But at this time, in this book, his criticism of Emperor Wu's militarism will no longer be suppressed.

And Emperor Wu had already mentioned in the previous Edict of Luntai Guilt:

"Since I came to the throne, I have acted rebelliously and made the world miserable. I cannot regret it. From now on, anyone who hurts the people and wastes the world, let it go!"

I finished reading the entire "Qin and Han" series, and I didn't know whether Sima Qian had waited for the belated edict of guilt from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

I sent a message to ask Qi Yuan, why did he write like this.

He replied seven words to me.

"This is a historical blank."

……

……

Yao Changsheng's lecture about Sima Qian in "Cultural Lecture Forum" became the most well-known story in "5000 Years of China" for a long time afterwards.

The story of Sima Qian is so inspiring.

Moved to the point of crying.

In Huaguo's college entrance examination one month later, the topic of the third paper of the national Chinese language is to use Sima Qian as an example to ask students to write about how to realize their ideals.

Sima Qian actually appeared in Huaguo's college entrance examination essay questions!
This even set off a heat wave in "5000 Years of China" in Huaguo.

Qi Yuan was heartbroken when he saw such news.

The incomparably brilliant culture of the previous life is also shining brightly in this world.

Gu Hongli has had severe morning sickness recently.

Qi Yuan was filming during the day, and at night he had to go home and sleep beside her.

Only in this way can she sleep and feel at ease.

The filming of "Kung Fu" lasted until mid-July. After about four months of filming, it was considered complete.

At the final finale banquet, Cheng Cheng, who had already completed the finale by himself, rushed over specially.

After she terminated her contract with Tianhao, she opened a studio by herself.

But many partners in the past seem to have chosen to ignore her existence tacitly.

Tianhao's family has a big business, Cheng Cheng at this time seems to have encountered the same difficulties that Qi Yuan once encountered.

Although Tianhao is not the General Administration, he has no qualifications to ban artists.

But it only needs to be mentioned briefly, and countless TV stations and film and television companies that have a cooperative relationship with it will no longer choose Chengcheng.

So from this year to now, apart from a few small advertisements from companies that are not afraid of Tianhao, there is only one big film and television project "Kung Fu" on Chengcheng's side.

At the finale banquet, Cheng Cheng was completely drunk.

Without her father to shield her from the wind and rain, she seems to have seen the darkest side of this circle.

The temperament of the whole person seems to have undergone some changes.

……

The third day of "Kung Fu" wrapping up.

The movie "Love in the Hawthorn Tree" starring Yuancheng Film and Television's newcomer Gao Rongxue is officially released.

This movie follows the path of sadomasochistic love.

It abused countless audiences who walked into the movie theater.

And this movie also made the pure and charming Gao Rongxue stand out in this circle for the first time.

The first film she debuted was a movie, and it was a movie of Yuancheng Film and Television.

It's obvious that Yuancheng Film and Television is praising people.

Many people's eyes were focused on Gao Rongxue.

With the capital of Yuancheng Film and Television to fuel the flames, as long as Gao Rongxue is not an idiot, in the future, she will never lack the opportunity to show her face in front of the national audience.

This is the unanimous thought of many people in this circle, and it is also the dream of countless people.

……

With a big belly, Gu Hongli was watering a potted plant.

Her whole body is quite plump. Although she has not applied any makeup, she has a round and jade-like feeling at a glance.

"Honey, the baby just kicked me again." Gu Hongli pouted and complained to Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan held up the spatula and said, "This is too skinny! In my opinion, I can't call her Changle, but I have to call her Changjing!"

After the two of them finished their dinner, Gu Hongli held Qi Yuan's arm, and the two of them walked out the door slowly.

After "Kung Fu" finished, Qi Yuan took a rest.

Except for going to the company every few days to watch the movie editing, he has been staying with Gu Hongli at home.

The two walked in the garden of the community.

Not far ahead, seven or eight children were frantically chasing and playing.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that they were playing the game "Everyone is Escaping".

After the variety show "Everyone is Running Away" was broadcast, it immediately aroused huge popularity among young people's groups.

It has even developed to the point where it is not enough to just watch, but also to play by yourself.

This is the impact of Yuancheng Film and Television's variety shows on the people of China.

On the other hand, the second season of "The Voice of Hua Guo" also started in full swing this summer.

The second season of this show has caused a huge wave in the entire country of China, and this country has ushered in an era when all people are good voices.

Qi Yuan and Gu Hongli took a walk and came to the shopping mall not far from home, and came to the baby area.

Gu Hongli held up a small dress, put it in front of him, and said, "This dress is pretty."

Qi Yuan nodded, and someone around had recognized the couple and greeted them in a friendly manner.

A girl held up her mobile phone and wanted to come up to take a group photo, but her boyfriend stopped her and motioned not to come up and disturb Qi Yuan and his wife.

After shopping for more than half an hour, Qi Yuan was carrying two big bags, and Gu Hongli was holding an ice cream, and the two of them slowly melted into the night.

……

……

11 month 7 day.

In a private hospital somewhere in Western Capital.

Qi Yuan, Qi's father, Qi's mother, Gu's father and Gu's mother, Gu Siji, and Qi Mo were all there.

"Nurse, why haven't you come out? It's been half an hour!" Qi Yuan was in a state of anxiety.

Qi Mo patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, when I gave birth to Xiao Nan, it took more than two hours!"

That's what I said, but everyone stood outside the operating room, looking very nervous.

Qi Yuan was so nervous that he sat for a while and stood up for a while, restless.

Another hour passed.

Finally, the door of the operating room opened.

Gu Hongli was pushed out.

Mother and daughter are safe.

The whole family gathered around.

Weakly, Gu Hongli looked at Qi Yuan first.

Qi Yuan grabbed her hand and said softly: "Go to sleep, go to sleep, it will be fine when you wake up."

Gu Hongli closed her eyes obediently.

Only then did everyone notice the newborn baby in the nurse's hands.

"Oh, my eldest granddaughter! This is too good!"

"Hahaha! It looks like a red carp!"

"Lele, this is our Changle!"

"It's so cute! Show grandma!"

Qi Qiyuan smiled and said, "Oh, newborn babies all look like this! Let's let the red carp go to rest first!"

Qi Yuan walked into the house with the cart.

Gu Hongli fell asleep peacefully, breathing quite steadily.

Qi Yuan held her white and bloodless hand, and said softly: "Thank you, wife."

……

……

The second volume is over.

The third volume, "5000 Years of My China", will start tomorrow.
