Li Tuo sometimes likes to exaggerate when he speaks, and his enthusiasm for Lin Chaoyang's affairs sometimes even exceeds his enthusiasm for his own affairs.

He was nicknamed Lin Chaoyang's dog-headed strategist by Chen Jiangong and other friends, so his words were naturally somewhat subjective.

But in any case, after this struggle with the media, many writers who spoke out for Lin Chaoyang did feel closer to each other.

The so-called four pillars of life: sharing the same window, carrying guns together, going whoring together, and sharing the stolen goods together.

The nature of the thing itself is not important, what is important is the shared experience, the sense of community and belonging.

This incident was triggered by Lin Chaoyang. After this period of quarreling and pulling with many media, he also became the link between many writers, making everyone's relationship closer than before.

For Lin Chaoyang, this incident also allowed many insiders and literature lovers to see his good popularity in the domestic literary circle.

In just over a month, dozens of well-known writers spoke out for him. Such a scene has never happened before in the domestic literary world.

What kind of personal charisma does it take to unite so many writers with their own unique ideas and personalities?

In addition to being amazed, for some reason a name spread in the literary world, called the Folk Literature Association.

The so-called Folk Literature Association refers to Xunweizhai, which is Lin Chaoyang’s home.

Probably because after the annual National Outstanding Short Story Award Ceremony, this place becomes a gathering place for well-known writers from all over the country.

Lin Chaoyang himself naturally became the "Chairman of the Folk Literature Association".

No one knows from whom this rumor originated, but it spread extremely quickly. Just after the storm passed, friends came to visit and began to tease Lin Chaoyang with this title.

National Day is a rare long holiday nowadays. Counting Sunday, you can have three consecutive days off.

For the Republic, every fifth and tenth year requires big celebrations. This year, there will not only be a massive celebration in front of Tiananmen Square, but also a military parade.

Early that morning, before dawn, Lin Chaoyang's family got up and tidied up, then crossed Chang'an Street to the Tiananmen Gate Tower.

As early as half a month before the National Day, Lin Chaoyang received an invitation from the Ministry of Culture to attend the ceremony, which took place at the viewing platform on Tiananmen Square.

At 5 o'clock in the morning, Lin Chaoyang's family arrived at Tiananmen Square, and all ground troops receiving the review had gathered near Tiananmen Square to stand by.

On East Chang'an Street, tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armored vehicles, howitzers, smoothbore guns, howitzers, rocket launchers, self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, command vehicles, transport vehicles and missile launch vehicles were lined up neatly, thundering like thunder.

The momentum is drawn but not released.

At this time, the sky is slightly bright, and the Tiananmen Gate Tower and Square are colorful during the festival, which is particularly magnificent.

After a long wait, hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life in the capital lined Chang'an Street.

Standing on the viewing platform and looking down, the crowds on Chang'an Street are endless and huge.

After the flag-raising ceremony, people began to gather on Chang'an Street to participate in the festival.

Finally, at 9:40 in the morning, many bigwigs, together with people's representatives from all walks of life across the country and guests from various countries, boarded the Tiananmen Rostrum with thunderous applause, including Lin Chaoyang's family.

At 10 o'clock sharp, Chen Xitong, then mayor of Yanjing City, announced: "The celebration of the 35th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China has begun!"

The sound diffused through the loudspeaker echoed over Tiananmen Square, and the celebration kicked off with the majestic "March of the Volunteers" national anthem and the sound of a 28-gun salute.

The elderly man took off in a red-flag black open-top military parade vehicle, drove out of Tiananmen Square and crossed the Jinshui Bridge.

"The troops under review are ready, please review."

"Hello, comrades!──Hello, chief!"

"Comrades, thank you for your hard work! Serve the people!"

Waves of overwhelming sound echoed through the ten-mile street, just like they did 35 years ago.

The sound of military music and the hunting of war flags.

As tall and straight as a mountain and as majestic as the sea, such a flowing picture will surely condense into an eternal moment in history.

At 10:18, the military parade ended, and then the old man delivered an important National Day speech at the Tiananmen Gate Tower, his sonorous voice with a strong sound transmission echoing.

Finally, the old man's speech ended with the slogan "Long live the great People's Republic of China! Long live the great Communist Party of China! Long live the great Chinese People's Liberation Army! Long live the great unity of the people of all ethnic groups in the country!"

The grand procession was announced and the honor guard of the army, navy and air force entered Tiananmen Square first, guarding the bright red "August 1st" military flag.

Then came the military academy formations, infantry formations, sailors formations, airborne troops formations, female health corps formations, armed police formations and male and female militia formations, entering Tiananmen Square in sequence.

If you look at it horizontally, it's a line, if you look at it vertically, it's still the same line.

The uniform goose steps formed a sound field of the same frequency resonance in the empty square, like majestic mountains, forming the Great Wall of New China. The people beside Chang'an Street cheered and shouted, their blood boiling and they were extremely excited.

When a phalanx of 24 mechanized troops stretching several kilometers passed in front of Tiananmen Square, the crowd's shouts reached their peak.

Steel chariots and horses, the torrent is rolling, and the heroic war eagle comes through the clouds and fog, and then flies away.

Every Chinese present looked at this scene with tears in their eyes and a surge of heat in their hearts.

At 10:58, the procession ended and the entire military parade officially ended.

The largest and most shocking National Day military parade since 1959 has ended. All the guests who watched the ceremony were excited but also regretful. They only regretted that the parade was too short and there was not enough time to watch it!

Lin Chaoyang's family followed the flow of people down the viewing platform, and Lin Erchun kept talking excitedly.

"It's so spectacular! It's so spectacular!"

With a high school education, he really wanted to talk loudly at this time to express his surging emotions. Unfortunately, after thinking for a long time, he could only say this sentence.

When he watched the military parade just now, he was so excited that he shed tears. Their feelings about the prosperity of the motherland may be clearer and more touching to their generation.

In contrast, Lin Chaoyang and his wife were excited, but they were still rational.

On the other hand, Xiao Dongdong, who had been carried on Lin Chaoyang's shoulders, although he didn't understand what a military parade was or what patriotism meant, he was still infected by the solemn and majestic atmosphere, and the whole process was filled with joyful laughter and shouts.

.

The military parade was over, but the square was full of people. It took Lin Chaoyang and his family almost an hour to walk a few hundred meters home, and it was almost twelve o'clock when they got home.

As soon as he got home, Li Tuo, Zhang Chengzhi, Chen Jiangong and other people came close behind.

They also came to watch the military parade today, but they could only stand on Chang'an Street. When they heard Lin Chaoyang talk about their feelings on the viewing platform, their eyes turned red with envy.

"We are all members of the Cultural Association, why can you go to the viewing platform?" Chen Jiangong asked his soul.

Li Tuo shook his head and said: "Jian Gong, don't compare with him on this, he is now the chairman of the Folk Literature Association!"

His ridicule made Lin Chaoyang smile bitterly, who came up with these words!

Everyone talked about this topic with great interest.

"Who did you hear that from?"

"I heard what Li Tuo said."

"Li Tuo, who did you listen to?"

"Zhang Dening, Wang Meng, and Su Xinqun, they all said it."

…

A group of people talked about it for a long time, but still couldn't find the original source. However, Lin Chaoyang's position as "Chairman of the Folk Literature Association" was confirmed.

Then this group of people naturally asked Lin Chaoyang to treat him to dinner in the name of "promotion", and they even treated him to the meal with such confidence.

During the meal, everyone talked about the article in yesterday's "Economic Daily" again, and they all felt overjoyed.

"Economic Daily" has little presence in the literary world, and people will not pay attention to or discuss articles published in such media.

But this time the situation is different. The debate on the royalty payment system has been ongoing for two months between the media and the literary world. No matter which side has the upper hand in public opinion, it is actually difficult to end this big debate.

The "Economic Daily" article affirmed the superiority of the royalty payment system from the perspective of economic and cultural development. It was equivalent to them acting as referees and raising the hands of Lin Chaoyang and his side, declaring their victory!

Therefore, everyone was naturally delighted and inexplicably excited.

While chatting, some people couldn't help but think of the wealthy life after receiving royalties in the future, and burst into giggles.

"Don't have such sweet dreams. Your novel collection has an initial printing of 5,000 copies and it has not been sold out for a year. Why are you still getting royalties? Just take your basic royalties honestly and avoid starving to death!"

Zhang Chengzhi's "vicious" words made Chen Jiangong furious, "Hello? Are you selling well? Are the novels you have written enough for publication?"

The output of Zhang Chengzhi's novels has indeed been low in the past year, mainly because he went to Japan to study at Toyo Bunko in the second half of last year for several months.

The two hurt each other, and the intensity of the confrontation was no less than that of novice chickens pecking each other. Lin Chaoyang was gloating on the sidelines.

Li Tuo acted as a peacemaker at this time, "When it comes to quarrels, you two might as well learn from Chaoyang. "Crossing Guandong" has only been released for ten days, and it's already sold like crazy!"

When he said these words, the attention of Chen Jiangong and Zhang Chengzhi was indeed attracted.

Chen Jiangong complained: "It's not just that the sales are crazy. I went to three or four bookstores, but I couldn't buy it. I wonder if the book was sold privately by the salesmen after it arrived?"

"If you don't work hard subjectively, look for the reasons objectively. Others can buy it, but you can't. Why don't you think about whether you queued up early enough?" Zhang Chengzhi said sarcastically to him again.

Before Chen Jiangong could refute, Zheng Wanlong said: "The sales of "Enter Guandong" are indeed a bit outrageous. I went to the Chinese Bookstore at four o'clock that morning and queued up to grab a copy. The two people behind me couldn't buy it."

At this time, Li Tuo said to Lin Chaoyang, "Chaoyang, I feel that "Crossing the Guandong" this time on the market has greater momentum than your previous books..."

Chen Jiangong interjected: "It's still worse than "Garland Under the Mountain"."

"The situation is different. "Garland Under the Mountain" is unique, with the right time, place and people." Li Tuo said to Chen Jiangong, then looked at Lin Chaoyang, "I'm afraid "Crossing Guandong" will have to sell three to five million copies, right?

"

Lin Chaoyang shook his head, "It's only been on the market for ten days, who can tell the exact sales volume!"

Li Tuo said: "It is definitely indispensable. The sales volume of "Crossing the Boat" has exceeded two million copies, right? It has only been a year. "Crossing the Guandong" has a wider readership and greater influence, and its sales will only increase.
