I am really a language teacher

Chapter 104: Attention

The literary circle and the critic circle have almost a symbiotic relationship. If there were no writers in the literary circle who worked hard to write novels, how would critics find a way to make a living with their pens?However, just like in the literary circle, the critic circle is also snobbish about the literary circle.Regardless of the prosperity of popular literature, there are new writers who have sold millions of copies from time to time, but the critics either ignore or ridicule these authors; a little more politely remind these authors of popular literature not to be too proud.

But what about authors who face serious literary circles?It was almost kneeling and licking.Once a new author appears in the serious literary circle, the comment circle will immediately turn into a gentle breeze and come to take care of him; if an old author publishes a new book, the comment circle will immediately wave their flags and shout, wishing to directly blow the old writer into a Buddha.In fact, it's not that the critics are spineless, it's that people in the serious literary circle are not easy to mess with.

Regardless of the fact that all writers are under the control of the Writers Association, people in the serious literary circle have formed a group of Aurora Pen Club.If anyone of you dares to abuse the people in the PEN, the other authors of that PEN will immediately bite back like mad dogs.After going back and forth, the comment circles have figured it out, let's hide if we can't provoke it, or hold our noses and praise it together.

Whether it is in the literary circle or the critic circle, the twice-monthly "Mother Tongue" is a must-read.The first half of the month is dominated by the commentary circle, and the second half of the month is dominated by the literary circle (especially the serious literary circle).Moreover, "Mother Tongue" is a fairly traditional literary and artistic magazine, and there is a basis for the position of each article.Whether a novel can be recommended for the cover, and how big the recommended font can be on the cover, all have traditions and sayings.So basically holding a thick copy of "Mother Tongue", just look at the cover to know how many articles worthy of attention are in this issue of the magazine.

However, the most eye-catching fonts on the cover of this issue are "In the Jungle" and "Rashomon". It seems that the key recommendations of this issue are these two novels.But why haven't the authors of these two novels heard of them?Still the same person!Immediately, critics and writers were shocked.It's not that "Mother Tongue" doesn't recommend newcomers, but even the recommended newcomers are definitely not pure newcomers.More or less, they are authors who are well-known in some local publications and entered the national literary world for the first time.Moreover, a new author can publish two articles in a magazine at the same time, and each article is a key recommendation, which is a bit interesting.

So everyone opened "Mother Tongue" one after another and found the recommended novels.To everyone's surprise, an editor wrote an editor's note.But looking at the signature of the editor's press, many authors broke out in a cold sweat again!This is the editor's note of "Mother Tongue" editor-in-chief Yu Baoyan!Generally, they are senior editors, at most, the head of the department writes the editor's note. When does the chief editor also write the editor's note?You should know that the editor-in-chief is generally responsible for writing the headline, so how can you write the editor's note?

After experiencing all kinds of inconceivable things, everyone began to read these two novels. "In the Jungle" seems to be a suspense detective novel, but the whole novel has no other content except dialogue.But if "In the Jungle" is regarded as a detective novel, then the whole novel does not have the pleasure of peeling off the cocoon at all.Instead, the whole novel is entirely based on the incident of a woman being raped and killed, and different people gave different answers and testimonies.Who killed the person is not the important content in the novel. The really important content is that people of different positions and classes have different expressions for the same objective thing.

Xiong Qingquan, dean of the Faculty of Liberal Arts of Dongfang University who is reading this novel, has seen a clue.He wrote on the paper, "Many people know that testimony is unreliable compared to evidence, because the human heart is the most difficult to figure out. And in the creation of novels, there is a kind of character called 'unreliable narrator' , their words are not to promote the plot to develop in a logical direction, but to advance to some illogical places. Although their existence will make readers confused, we have to admit that it is precisely because of the author's small A little cunning makes the text exude an entirely different charm."

After Xiong Qingquan finished reading "In the Jungle", he took a short rest.This is an author Yu Baoyan recently reminded him to pay attention to. Although he is not a complete new author, he is a newcomer in the pure literature circle.Especially when Xiong Qingquan learned that the author was a Chinese teacher who had just graduated, Xiong Qingquan's expression became even more exciting.Because most people know that there is a relationship between literary creation and life experience.Although there is no shortage of geniuses in the world, most of the real people are those who have experienced life and witnessed hardships.

However, although "In the Jungle" is a novel novel, it is only "new".Xiong Qingquan admits that this is a good novella, but Xiong Qingquan still thinks that the author Sun Ping is too cunning, deliberately showing off the mystery in the text and creating a seemingly deep reading level.However, after Xiong Qingquan pondered for a while, he began to read "Rashomon".

Compared with "In the Jungle", which shows off its writing style, "Rashomon" tells a small story.It's kind of allegorical, but also kind of Zen.The exiled servant is struggling in the mass grave, whether to be a villain or a starving person, he is wandering.At this time, he witnessed an old woman pulling out the hair of a dead woman, which made him angry with a conscience, and asked why the old woman did not even let go of the dead body.But the old woman was plausible. She would starve to death, so couldn't she send some money?Secondly, the dead woman was not a good thing, she sold fake food to ordinary people during her lifetime.Under the questioning of the old woman, the servant seemed to have come to his senses. Why did he think he was frozen to death in the mass grave?So he snatched the only clothes from the old woman and disappeared from then on...

The whole story is short but deep, and the story is short but extremely cruel.Xiong Qingquan was a little moved when he saw the end. This work is almost the self-degeneration and exile of an egoist.Moreover, this short story is even darker than "In the Jungle", and it can be criticized far more than the current general works.

Romanticism and realism are two eternal genres of literary creation, and it is generally believed that poetry is best suited to express romanticism, while novels are best suited to express realism.But now to a large extent, novel writers are once involved in realistic themes, and their writing style and depth immediately lose their shape.It seems that to express realism, you must be "full of rusticity", and Sun Ping's critical realism under the pretense of fables made Xiong Qingquan couldn't help but be overwhelmed.Of course, Xiong Qingquan was not the only one who was so impressed. Many authors and critics were amazed by these two novels by Sun Ping.A novel wins with skill, and a novel wins with depth, which fully demonstrates the writing power of a mature writer.

With the publication of the new novel, Sun Ping also immediately received the remuneration for the two novels.It’s very different from writing popular novels in a small way. The two pure literature novels brought Sun Ping 3 yuan in remuneration, which is basically catching up with the income of a popular novel.Seeing such a high remuneration, Sun Ping couldn't help but lament that the serious literary circle is really rich.After all, the country and the association have a lot of inclination towards serious literary circles, which also makes many authors actively squeeze into serious writer circles.

Sun Ping, who got paid for the manuscript, was not such a stingy person, so he found an excuse to invite all the teachers in the Chinese teaching and research group to have an afternoon tea.After the head of the teaching and research group heard that Sun Ping had published two novels in "Mother Tongue", he looked at Sun Ping differently.

"Ms. Sun, it is great for us Chinese teachers to be able to publish works in pure literature magazines like "Mother Tongue"." The team leader reminded, "Our Chinese teachers can publish professional papers in educational magazines, You can also get promotion qualifications by publishing pure literary works or critical works in serious literary magazines. Especially magazines like "Mother Tongue", almost all of them can be used as your resume. ——By the way, I don’t know Has Mr. Sun joined our Taojiang City Writers Association? If not, I can introduce Mr. Sun to join. Our Writers Association is very thirsty for talents like Mr. Sun." After finishing speaking, the group leader watched with great anticipation With Sun Ping.

Although Sun Ping is not very interested in such associations, he also knows the importance of grouping.Especially since my team leader introduced me to join so enthusiastically, it would be too stupid if I didn't give face.So Sun Ping immediately smiled and said: "Then I would like to thank Teacher Mo for his kindness. It is of course an honor for me to join the Taojiang Writers Association. I will need Teacher Mo to help me a lot then."

"Where is it?" Mo Wenshan said with a smile, "Our Taojiang City Writers Association also has a bimonthly "Taohuayuan" magazine. At that time, we will also ask Mr. Sun to donate manuscripts. Naturally, we will pay favorably for the manuscripts."

"Then it will be troublesome for Mr. Mo again." Although local literary publications are not conducive to Sun Ping's fame, they are very helpful for Sun Ping to develop local reputation.

As a young Chinese teacher, he is also one of the authors of a local literary publication. This kind of halo blessing is very helpful for Sun Ping to improve his status in school and social reputation.After all, this is a secular society, and it is actually very difficult for people who do not seek fame and fortune to survive.

Thinking of this, Sun Ping felt that in addition to the local "Peach Blossom Spring", Jiangnan Province's "Jiangnan Literature and Art", "Furong" and "Xingzi Beach" also needed to contribute.

Sun Ping left a copy of the basic samples of "Mother Tongue" magazine for Mo Wenshan. This can be regarded as an achievement of the Chinese teaching and research group, and Mo Wenshan found a conspicuous place to display it.Sun Ping put the rest of the basic sample magazines in the car, ready to take them home.And when Father Sun received the "Mother Tongue" that published Sun Ping's novels, he was a little excited, "Our old Sun's family can be regarded as a famous person! We can publish novels in "Mother Tongue", and in the future, we will be more famous in literature. There is a little future ahead on the road.”

Guo Yi pursed his lips and smiled, but then his cell phone rang, and he ran to the garden on the balcony to answer the call.Because of the care of Aunt Guo, Dad Sun and professional gardeners, the garden on the balcony is much more prosperous than it was then.In particular, Grandpa Sun, who has always favored wealth and nobility, specially transplanted a lot of peonies and peonies, which made the garden more magnificent.Aunt Guo didn't dislike vulgarity, but said, "I just like the color of gold and jade, it's joyful!"

Seeing Guo Yilai's secretly happy expression, it seems that the relationship between him and his boyfriend should have entered a stable period.Although Sun Ping had pantothenic acid, fortunately, his younger brother knew how to respect himself, so he didn't mess around casually.
