Gotta Go the Healing Route

Terashima Wakako pointed to the red bird on the coffee table and said.

"Isn't this Red Bird? A children's publication. When I was young, I really liked reading the stories on it."

"How did this magazine provoke you?"

"You'll know it just by looking at it, the first story."

"Isn't it just a fairy tale, what else can it be?"

Daizo Terashima looked at Wakako Terashima suspiciously, then reached out and picked up the red bird on the coffee table.

"Let me see, the first story is called "The Little Match Girl", and the author is called Feng Jianxi."

Opening the title page and catalogue, Daizo Terajima began to read.

The reading speed of adults is not slow, and soon, he completely read the four pages of the story.

Terajima Daizo, who was still interested, even continued to read the second story in the magazine.But the childishness and illusoryness of the second story immediately made Daizo Terajima a little interested and stopped reading.

"What's the matter, dear."

Gently placing the red bird on the tea table, Daizo Terajima looked up at his wife who was crossing her arms in front of her.

"Is there any problem with the first story? The story of "The Little Match Girl" is very well written. I didn't expect Akadori to have a story of this quality now."

"As an adult work, the "The Little Match Girl" is of course very good. Although the atmosphere of the story is warm and dreamy, the core of it is dark and spicy."

"But, this is children's literature..."

Wakako Terashima couldn't help expressing her dissatisfaction loudly.

How can there be a fairy tale with the protagonist, a poor little girl, who dies so tragically?

Using such a story to read to a reading group with children as the main body, isn't this a beautiful sugar-coated poison?

The author who wrote this story is simply heartbroken! ! !

The more Wakako Terashima thought about it, the more angry she became, and finally said angrily:

"No, I'm going to write about today's incident in my column."

Hearing Terashima Wakako's words, Terashima Dazang was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly persuaded: "Wakako, why are you doing this?"

Wakako Terashima is a columnist contracted by Wenyi Dongxia Publishing House, an established publishing house in Kanagawa.As a writer exporting ideas, Wakako Terashima has great influence in the field of children's education, and has fans of full-time mothers who care about their children's education.

What's more, her column of miscellaneous talks is still in the old magazine "Spring and Autumn" with many readers.

If you really attack this work on Spring and Autumn, it is equivalent to attacking the magazine "Red Bird".

"It's not a big deal at all. Besides, the editor of your magazine won't allow you to do such nonsense."

"Why is something related to children's education not a big deal? Besides, this story can be published on Chidori, and Chidori is also responsible. Our Dongxia Publishing House is not afraid."

Saying so, Terashima Wakako picked up the Akadori magazine on the coffee table again, and walked into the study.It seems that I plan to work hard all night to write a manuscript.

Looking at his wife's back, Dazo Terajima shook his head helplessly.

Chapter 18 Strange

"See for yourself!!!"

On the third day when the latest issue of Red Bird Magazine was officially sold, the boss of Red Bird Magazine called Zhu Hong, the editor-in-chief, into the office.

A brand new "Spring and Autumn" magazine was thrown on the table in front of Zhu Hong, and there were also some opened envelopes on the table.

Seeing the distraught look of her boss and friend, the president, Zhu Hong picked up the "Spring and Autumn" magazine suspiciously.

"Spring and Autumn" magazine has been folded "intimately" by the president, so Zhu Hong turned to the miscellaneous talk column at once.

The first line is the big headline: "On the taboo of children's literature-darkness is the shame of children's literature."

The column of the author wrote a pen name called 'Ruozi'.

"Our country, and even the whole of Asia, has a long history. A well-known children's literature magazine recently published a fairy tale called "The Little Match Girl."

"Even my husband and I have to think that this work is excellent. It is full of extremely deep connotations and practical significance..."

At the beginning of this miscellaneous talk, she praised "The Little Match Girl", which made Zhu Hong nod her head.

It seems that people of insight in the publishing field are not bad.

However, this kind of praise, why does the president have such emotions?

After reading down the article, Zhu Hong understood the reason, and then her face gradually became ugly.

The first two paragraphs are indeed admiration, but by the third paragraph, the author is just trying to see.

"But I'm curious, is this work really for children? Is it for children who have not yet decided on their views?"

"In my opinion, the meaning of fairy tales is not to add a touch of beautiful color to children's childhood, so that they can temporarily break away from the reality of society and have a beautiful yearning for the future?"

"It is true that everyone needs to face reality. Moreover, the older you get, the more you understand the cruel reality of society. But is it really good for people to be exposed to this part of reality at an early age?"

"The author constructed four pictures extremely cruelly. Under such circumstances, these environments are indeed beautiful. However, the author punctured these beauties one by one, showing the darkness and cruelty of reality to children. in front of you. Isn't that bad?"

"In my opinion, this author is embarrassing, and the red bird who made this story published in the magazine's first article is even more embarrassing. No wonder the red bird magazine will decline more and more."

Seeing the final epilogue, Zhu Hong finally understood why the president was so angry.But this is no longer what Zhu Hong cares about.

Zhu Hong's face had turned livid, and the veins on her forehead were standing out.

"absurd!!!"

"It's just talking nonsense. What kind of guy is this guy named Ruozi, and he dares to slander this article like this. This is the true meaning of children's literature. This is not children's literature, what is this?!!!"

He slapped his palms on the table fiercely, and the blow with anger shook the entire desk.The originally livid-faced president was also taken aback by the extremely angry Zhu Hong.

md, it's me who should lose my temper.You lose your temper...

The president subconsciously thought of this, but Zhu Hong had already turned around and left the office without even closing the door.

"Wait! Vermilion! What are you going to do!??"

The president quickly chased after him, but he could only see Zhu Hong's back.And the angry roar of Vermilion in the air.

"I'm going to spray this biscuit to death!"

Soon, in the evening of the same day, an article appeared on the page of the Miscellaneous column of "Kyoto Shimbun", the number one seller in JD City: "On the future of children's literature in Shennai Kingdom."

The article is written like this:

"Children's literature should not be labeled as 'out of reality' or 'childish'. In my opinion, all popular books are aimed at a broad audience, and the same is true for fairy tales. Any work can also reflect reality , and the same goes for fairy tales.”

"Children do need the guidance of truth, kindness and beauty, but cultivating their understanding of this social norm must also be included in the goal."

"In my opinion, some ignorant and incompetent people like to scare people, and dare to put shackles on a field of popular literature when they know nothing. This is the best manifestation of her ignorance and incompetence."

"In addition, it's amazing that a certain magazine can hire such a columnist. Such a level can really 'entertain' the public."

The miscellaneous talks published in the Evening News were naturally written by Zhu Hong. As the editor-in-chief of an old-fashioned magazine, she is also considered to be very powerful in the publishing field. The editor-in-chief of jd news is his old classmate for many years, so he can release his counterattack like this.

In the evening, Wakako Terashima also got the jd news and saw this article.

In the column of the author of the article, Zhu Hong was written, not a pseudonym but a real name.

Wakako Terashima also knew who Zhu Hong was, it was clearly written on the cover of Akadori magazine.

A slap doesn't make a sound.

If it is said that the column chatter published by Spring and Autumn Magazine did not attract many people's attention.When Vermilion scolded it in the evening paper, which sold the most, it immediately attracted many people's discussions.

"Ruozi, forget it. Contact your editor to send an apology statement."

Dazo Terajima exhorted from the side.

"Zhu Hong is a top figure in your circle, and her qualifications are there. If the other party goes off in person, you have no advantage. Hurry up and give in."

"Be soft?"

Terashima Wakako's eyes widened, obviously already on top.

"I won't. What I said is wrong. This kind of dark stuff should not appear in the field of children's literature."

"It is true that I am not as good as editor-in-chief Zhu Hong in terms of credibility. But..."

Wakako Terashima sneered.

"The vice chairman of the Children's Growth Alliance Committee is my best friend for many years. Can Zhu Hong be as powerful as the previous organization?"

The Children's Growth Alliance Committee is a non-profit organization established with the theme of caring about the healthy growth of children, and it is quite well-known in the entire Shennai country.

After calling her best friend, the vice president, Wakako Terashima hung up the phone with a sneer after getting the promise.

...............................

Naturally, Kazama Xi didn't know that a fairy tale she copied would cause a round of war of words in the field of paper media around the field of 'children's literature'.

When he knew about this matter, the whole matter had already begun to ferment, and many magazines and newspapers that had the obligation to publish children's literature also made their voices heard.

"Is this fairy tale so powerful? I remember that there is also a red bird at home." Kazama Xi's aunt, Kazama Riko, couldn't help feeling emotional while bringing a pot of stew.

The red bird that was sent along with the manuscript fee, Kazama Xi simply flipped through it and threw it in the living room.Later, when Riko Kazama was cleaning the living room, she also saw it and put it away.

"Oh? Show it to me later."

Putting a newspaper on the table, the elegant man who was eating and reading the information in the newspaper said.

The elegant man is Kazama Xi's uncle, Kazama has been away for a long time.

Hearing Kazama's long absence, Kazama Xi couldn't help speeding up the cooking.

And when Kazama got the red bird for a long time and turned to the fairy tale "The Little Match Girl", he was stunned.

Seeing this, Kazama Xi also dropped her chopsticks, "I'm done eating, I'm going back to my room first."

"This kid..."

Seeing Kazama Yui's back running upstairs, Kazama Riko couldn't help shaking her head.Then she turned around and saw her husband in a daze.

"What's the matter, dear?" Riko Kazama asked strangely.

"Nothing..." Kazama Jiube shook his head.

"The author who wrote this story has the same name and surname as Xiao Xi, don't you think it's strange." He pointed to the author's signature on the third page of Chiniao's story.

Hearing what her father said, Akane Kazama who was drinking water couldn't help but choked on the water and coughed loudly.
