Chapter 92: The Struggle for Orthodoxy (Three updates today, please vote for me)
At the end of the form, there was a column that said "Indicate where you go to school and are eligible to be a day student." If Tao Yumo had filled in her information truthfully, she would have been arranged to be a day student after enrolling at YSU, but she left it blank.
.
"Yu Mo, why don't you fill it in?" Tao Yucheng asked.
"I want to live in the dormitory."
Tao Yumo had obviously planned this for a long time. Ever since Lin Chaoyang came to the house, she shared a room with her sister-in-law Zhao Li and nephew Tao Xiwu, and she always felt that she had no personal space of her own.
Now that she is going to college, she can't wait to move to the dormitory immediately.
"What's so good about living in a dormitory? There are six people in a dormitory, eight people in one room, and the public bathroom is used," Tao Yucheng advised.
"I'm happy!" Tao Yumo couldn't listen to his elder brother's opinion and insisted on his own opinion.
Tao Yushu also wanted to persuade her sister, but Tao's father said: "Yumo is also older. She has never lived in a group since she was a child. It is also good to live with her classmates. Not only can she exercise her self-care ability, but it can also improve her relationship with her classmates."
feelings."
Tao Yumo's choice won the support of his father, which was equivalent to gaining the approval of the whole family.
August is like fire, and the lotus flowers in Langrun Lake are in full bloom.
Tao Yumo's application form has just been submitted to the Admissions Office, and the admission notice has not yet come out. These days, he still indulges in wandering the streets and alleys of Yanjing City, leaving early and returning late.
Lin Chaoyang sits in the library every day. During the summer vacation, there are not many students in Yanyuan, and he has more free time. He writes novels every day after fishing. The novel "Harvest" that he promised is progressing at this rate.
Slowly form.
During this period, Li Xiaolin wrote twice, both of which were concerned about Lin Chaoyang's creative situation. However, Lin Chaoyang did not speed up the progress because of her urging, and still maintained his own pace. It's not that he didn't want to write faster, but the quality was also poor.
Equally important, right?
However, harmony in life and work does not mean that everything is fine.
Recently, many local newspapers and literary magazines have published articles targeting Lin Chaoyang's "The Inevitable Rise and Decline of Scar Literature", most of which are mainly criticism.
This article published in "October" was originally written from Lin Chaoyang's personal perspective, but due to the particularity of his identity, it attracted the attention of many people in the literary world in the more than a month after its publication.
Regardless of whether Lin Chaoyang admits it or not, his "Wrangler" has been deeply branded as "scar literature" in the past half year. He became famous for scar literature, but after becoming famous, he did things like eating and smashing the pot. This
How to avoid making the many fans of scar literature in the literary world angry?
"Hebei Daily", "Yanjing Youth Daily", "Wenhui Daily", "Literary Review"...
In more than half a month, such articles appeared in many newspapers and magazines, and the debate triggered by "The Inevitable Rise and Decline of Scar Literature" is gradually taking shape.
Faced with the sudden surge of public opinion, Lin Chaoyang was not mentally prepared, and he didn't care much.
In the era of entertainment to death in later generations, public opinion upsurges will come back every month. After the tide subsides, won't things stay the same?
Two days later, Cui Daoyi appeared in the Yan University Library.
"Old Cui, why are you here?"
Cui Daoyi took out a copy of "People's Literature" from his pocket.
"You came here specifically to deliver magazines to me?" Lin Chaoyang was a little surprised.
Cui Daoyi said: "I'm not just sending magazines, I also want to ask you something."
"What's up?"
"Why did you publish such an article in October?"
Lin Chaoyang realized that what he was talking about should be "The Inevitable Rise and Decline of Scar Literature", and he asked in confusion: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"Are you really not aware or not?" Cui Daoyi asked.
"What do you know?" Lin Chaoyang looked confused, and was even more confused by his question.
Seeing his expression, Cui Daoyi understood. It seemed that Lin Chaoyang really didn't know much about the debates and trends in the literary world.
He was indeed a young man. A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Cui Daoyi shook his head and told Lin Chaoyang what he knew about the situation.
In the following two years, the situation was indeed as everyone thought. The atmosphere became more and more open, and many heavyweights in the literary and art circles also returned one after another during this period.
However, any change in the trend is not sudden. In the debate between different opinions, two factions gradually emerged in the literary and art circles: the Xichun School and the Pianzuo School.
The Xichun School is mainly represented by writers such as Zhou, Mao, Ba, Zhang, Feng, and Chen, while the Pianzuo School is represented by writers such as Wang, Lin, Liu, Ding, and He.
The two sides launched a protracted debate on whether literary creation after the end of Humming should truly expose and reflect the scars and reality of contemporary Chinese society, and whether mainstream literature of the "Seventeen Years" should be restored.
In January 1978, Liu Xinwu's "Class Teacher" was published in "People's Literature" and quickly aroused huge repercussions across the country, giving the Xichun faction an advantage in the debate with the Pianzuo faction.
After "Scar" was published, the name of "Scar Literature" spread like wildfire, and "Wrangler" followed closely, winning the tears and hearts of countless readers across the country.
The Xichun School quickly gained the right to speak in the public opinion field and continued to expand this advantage to the literary world and the readership group.
Compared with the Xichun faction, which is good at "literary", the Pianzuo faction has a stronger "official" spirit. They do not advocate blindly exposing scars and constantly exert political pressure on the emergence of scar literature.
However, public opinion is fierce, and there are many ordinary people who have suffered from buzzing. The emergence of scar literature is their outlet. Public opinion is like a flood that has broken through a dam, so how can human power stop it?
It can be said that in the past year or so, in the debate between the two parties, the Xichun faction has occupied a very dominant position.
But just this year, the leftists took advantage of the spirit of the meeting at the top and launched a general attack on the Xichun faction.
With the emergence of literary and artistic works such as the drama "If I Were Real", the film script "The Thief" and "Goethe and Immorality", this debate has reached an unprecedented level of intensity.
It happened that at this time, Lin Chaoyang published "The Inevitable Rise and Decline of Scar Literature" in "October", which was destined to add fuel to this unprecedentedly fierce debate.
Lin Chaoyang himself did not have this awareness, and even Liu Xinwu, who was generally regarded as an effective member of the Xichun School in the literary world, did not have this awareness. Their ideas were just to discuss the matter, but they ignored the changes in the external environment and climate.
As a result, in the period after the publication of "The Inevitable Rise and Decline of Scar Literature", the discussion became louder and louder, and it quickly became a "positional war" between two factions competing for the dominance of public opinion.
Lin Chaoyang, the originator, became famous for his scar literature and was originally regarded as one of the Xichun sects. However, at this time, he acted in the back and was regarded as a traitor by many people who supported the Xichun sect.
From a leftist perspective, Lin Chaoyang counterattacked the Xichun faction. They themselves were happy, but it was impossible to accept Lin Chaoyang into their own camp.
Who can guarantee that there will be no next time for this kid?
If you have such a person around you, you have to be careful!
Lin Chaoyang was a layman about the twists and turns of the literary world. He didn't understand or care about it, and there was no one around him to remind him. However, the editors of "October" did understand.
But they didn't know what Lin Chaoyang's mentality was, and they thought that Lin Chaoyang just wanted to get involved in this big controversy and show his face, so no one said anything too deep.
Zhang Guangnian, the editor-in-chief of "People's Literature", is also one of the leaders of the Xichun faction. Recently, Lin Chaoyang was at the center of a big debate between the two factions. Lin Chaoyang's novel was about to be published in "People's Literature", so he gave the order.
Cui Daoyi came over to ask Lin Chaoyang to see what he thought.
Cui Daoyi sorted Lin Chaoyang out for a long time, and he finally understood. No wonder he was caught and scolded recently.
I dare say he was scolded not only because, as many people said, he was "eating on scar literature and smashing the pot of scar literature." The more reason was because of the "late spring cold" and Xichun in the literary and art circles in 1979. Pian Zuo
A big debate between the two factions.
He explained to Cui Daoyi, dumbfounded, the reasons for publishing "The Inevitable Rise and Decline of Scar Literature".
I heard that this was actually a speech to students. Liu Xinwu overheard it and published it in "October". Cui Daoyi was also dumbfounded.
"What is all this fuss about!" Cui Daoyi sighed helplessly.
After understanding the real reason behind the incident, Lin Chaoyang didn't take it too seriously. He was not involved in the literary world and wrote novels just to earn some royalties.
It's not like ten years ago now. It's not a big deal if we still get guilty for making introductions.
However, he was very curious about one question and asked: "You said that Ding Ling is also a partialist, so why did she write a review to support "Wrangler"?"
"Why can't she support Wrangler?"
People think that the ideological battle between the big guys is a tit-for-tat confrontation between two parties, black and white, either you die or I live.
The actual debate over ideas is that everyone has their own ideas and concepts, which are not the same. More often than not, some outside public opinion simplifies and divides them into two groups in order to better understand and spread this debate.
people.
It is very possible that the two people who are at odds with each other in the mouth of the communicator are still very good friends in private.
After Cui Daoyi explained, he asked Lin Chaoyang what he thought of being criticized by public opinion. Seeing that he had no worries, he shook his head and laughed, "You are really big-hearted!"
Cui Daoyi's arrival today helped to clear up Lin Chaoyang's confusion, at least letting him know why he was scolded.
In the evening, Lin Chaoyang talked about this matter with Tao Yushu with great interest.
Although Lin Chaoyang doesn't want to admit it, his ability to stir up the storm may also prove his influence to some extent.
"Hey, what do you think about me submitting this article to "Literary Review"?"
Recently, because Lin Chaoyang was surrounded by public opinion, Tao Yushu was bursting with inspiration. He wrote hard every day, and his article output hit new highs. He would submit a manuscript almost every two days, but it has not been published yet.
"Okay, Literary Review is an important publication in the field of literary criticism. I support you!"
Tao Yushu looked at Lin Chaoyang's performance and wondered if his man was a little too heartless.
Chapter completed!
