Many people came after hearing the news, including many who drove several hours like Yu Dong and others.
People came in batches, and the cries came one after another.
Many people noticed Yu Dong and the others, but because the occasion was not right, they did not come up to talk to them.
After Yu Dong and others asked Wang Lang, they found out that Wang Zengqi vomited a lot of blood due to rupture of esophageal varices caused by liver cirrhosis, and eventually died of large-scale bleeding in the stomach.
"By the way, when you finish here, you can come home with me." Wang Lang took Yu Dong's arm and walked aside: "I have finished writing what the old man promised you."
Yu Dong opened his eyes and looked at Wang Lang blankly. He knew that what Wang Lang was talking about should be the preface that Wang Zengqi wanted to write for him, but he didn't expect that he would actually write it.
Wang Lang patted Yu Dong on the shoulder: "Don't leave. My mother and I will discuss the memorial service later. After the discussion is over, I will take you to have breakfast first. It is not easy to come here in the middle of the night."
Before Dong Dong could reply, Wang Lang had already walked away.
After it fully dawned, Wang Lang's side had already made arrangements. He informed Yu Dong and the others that the memorial service was scheduled for the 19th of this month, which was the 15th day of the fifth lunar month.
At this time, Wang Lang and the others have not finished their work. Mr. Wang's virtue has been praised in all directions and he has many acquaintances. Now that he is gone, it is natural that everyone from all walks of life must be notified.
It was almost noon when Yu Dong and the others followed Wang Lang back to Puhuangyu. Wang Lang found two pieces of paper from the study and gave them to Yu Dong. After Dong took them, he smiled and said: "The old man writes his own books and never lets others give them to him."
He wrote the preface, and when he arrived, he was busy writing prefaces for others every day. He always writes prefaces for those who have just come to the fore, or even those who have not yet come to the fore. This is the first time for someone as famous as you."
Many people know that Wang Zengqi loves to support younger generations. Therefore, many young writers who are not very famous always like to write to him, hoping to get a preface from him.
The preface he wrote to Yu Dong was written with a brush, and the brush strokes were smooth and flowing, making people feel refreshed and refreshed.
Yu Hua stretched out his head to look at it, blinked, and took a step back. The writing was too sloppy, and he couldn't understand many of the words.
"The characters are beautiful, but I don't really recognize them."
The front is actually fine, but the further you go to the back, the smaller the characters become and the more scrawled they become. Some characters even require some effort to read.
The two pages combined contained less than 300 words, and Yu Dong read the end in less than two minutes.
But at the end, he frowned.
Wang Lang saw him frowning and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yu Dong pointed to the back: "It seems that I haven't finished writing."
"Isn't it finished?" Wang Lang stretched his head to look and saw at the end of the second page, "My stomach hurts a little, so I'll write here and wait until the stomach pain subsides before writing again."
Wang Lang was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "It may not be that it is not finished, or it may be a deliberate joke. However, it will definitely not be good if it is published. I need to find a way..."
Yu Dong shook his head, "There's nothing wrong with it. It's good to leave it like this."
Wang Lang thought for a while and finally nodded: "It's up to you. You guys sit here for a while, and I'll go stay with my mother for a while."
"Don't worry." Yu Dong grabbed Wang Lang's arm with his backhand.
Wang Lang looked back at Yu Dong: "What's wrong?"
"The old gentleman has written a lot. He is gone now. I want to search for his articles and make a collection of them."
Wang Lang nodded: "Of course there is no problem. I agree on behalf of our family. However, I suggest we talk about it in a few days. We definitely don't have this intention today."
"Okay, let me tell you in advance that I will ask for your help when the time comes. Since we are making an anthology, I will try my best to find all of Sir's works."
"Of course I'll try my best."
…
After Wang Lang left, Yu Dong and the others stayed in the study for a while without staying much longer. They said goodbye to the Wang family and left the hotel before lunch time.
This night, the strings in their heads had been tense, and now they finally couldn't hold on any longer, so they ate something for lunch and went to bed.
The next day, they set off back to Jinling again.
After returning to Jinling, Mr. Yu Dongwang copied the preface he wrote, carefully stored the manuscript, and then asked Hu Hao to send the copied preface to Deep Space Company.
Yu Dong not only wants to put this preface in the Chinese version, but also in other language versions. Even if there are other prefaces, this must be added.
In fact, the content of this preface written by Mr. Wang to Yu Dong is quite ordinary, and the words are very simple. Basically, he wrote out what he said to Yu Dong on the phone.
First, he mentioned how the two met, then mentioned a few words about Yu Dong's previous works, and finally praised the clever writing style of "Old Book", and also talked about his love in his youth.
That is to say, when I was recalling my past love, I didn't write a few sentences before the sentence "My stomach hurts a little, so I'll write it here and wait until the stomach pain subsides a little before I write again."
Yu Dong couldn't tell whether it was Mr. Wang's deliberate joke or whether he really stopped writing because he felt an unbearable stomachache when he wrote this.
Perhaps, it was because he had a stomachache that he stopped writing, and Wang Lang was afraid that he would feel guilty, so he said that Mr. Wang was joking.
In fact, now that I think about it, when he wrote "Old Books" and wrote the story of Chang Huaiying and his wife, he may not have not drawn material from the story of Wang Zengqi and Shi Songqing.
For example, some stories about Chang Huaiying and his wife's life in the early years, as well as stories about being pidou. Chang Huaiying's records are not detailed. Many of them were written by Yu Dong himself. Among them, there must be records of hearing Mr. Wang's "bragging" before.
Contents in the mind.
When the preface was sent, Yu Dong also asked Hu Hao to speak to Yiliang, and asked the company to contact Wang Lang and others to negotiate for the copyright of Wang Zengqi's anthology.
Someone would have taken care of this matter. In the last life, it was Yan Normal University Publishing House who settled the matter first and published an edition of "The Complete Works of Wang Zengqi".
However, even as a student of Yan Normal University, Yu Dong had some criticisms about this edition of "The Complete Works of Wang Zengqi".
There are many errors and omissions in the Yan Normal University edition of "The Complete Works of Wang Zengqi", such as the problem of multiple versions of the same article but with different contents, that is, there is some confusion in the selected version, and it is marked as one version, but it is actually another version.
There are two reasons for this situation. The first is that time was relatively short. It is said that Yan Normal University authorized the copyright in front of the Wang family at the funeral, and then it took eight months to compile a complete set.
The second reason is that in contemporary literary criticism, scholars often focus on studying the meaning, content, and form of the text, and rarely study it from the perspective of edition and compilation. Therefore, when compiling the "Complete Works", it is inevitable that there will be questions that are not
A very mature place.
In other words, the current academic research on Wang Zengqi is not very mature, and many aspects have not been taken into account.
In the final analysis, Yan Normal University Publishing House was too anxious and wanted to compile the book while the person had just passed away and there was more interest.
It is also for this reason that Yu Dong wants to let Deep Space Company obtain the authorization for the complete collection, spend more time and energy to make this set of books better.
After this set of books is released, it will be more convenient for subsequent academic researchers to study Wang Zengqi.
…
At noon the next day, Yu Dong was writing big characters in his study after dinner, when a shout suddenly sounded outside.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, open the door."
Yu Dong stretched his head and looked outside. It turned out to be Chen Tao standing outside the window with his head in a cat's manner.
"How did you come?"
After opening the door and putting Chen Tao into the room, Yu Dong asked strangely. Today is Friday, so it stands to reason that Chen Tao would not have time to come over.
Chen Tao wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked towards the coffee table. He poured himself a cup of herbal tea. After taking a few sips, he said, "God, it's so hot that I can't even survive."
Yu Dong looked at Chen Tao. When they first met, this boy was not very tall and thin. Over the past few years, his height has increased a lot and he is almost as tall as him.
"School is on holiday today?" Yu Dong asked.
"No." Chen Tao shook his head: "I came here during my lunch break, and I have to rush back soon."
Yu Dong was surprised and said: "What's so urgent?"
Chen Tao wiped his sweat again and said with a smile: "Isn't it the Dragon Boat Festival? My mother said that she would invite you, my sister, and uncles and aunts to my house for dinner."
Yu Dong stared at Chen Tao and said with a scrutinizing expression, "Your parents have already called us about this. You don't need to make a special trip. If you have anything to do, just tell me quickly. Otherwise, I will call now."
Call your aunt and tell her that instead of studying hard at school, you came to my place to fool around."
Chen Tao quickly raised his hands and looked like he was surrendering, "No, brother-in-law, if my mother knows that I'm here, my butt will definitely bloom again. That's it, Jin Yang and I set up a reasoning club, you are
You know that, right?"
"I know, I heard it went well."
Chen Tao said with a proud look on his face: "It's just a small achievement, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning - but now I encounter a small problem, I may need your help, brother-in-law."
"What's the problem? How can I help?"
"It's not a big problem. Brother-in-law, you can just talk. We have a lot of people in Yuhua Mystery Club now. We have members both offline and online, so we hold activities both offline and online..."
"Wait a minute -" Hearing this, Yu Dong raised his hand, "Online, offline? What do you mean by online?"
"Deep Sky, our online members often organize activities online. Isn't this because the website belongs to your company? As my brother-in-law, of course I will give my full support."
"No, you will be a senior in high school next semester. Do you have time to do this? Can your aunt surf the Internet for you while you are at home?"
Chen Tao smiled and said: "No, I mainly manage offline activities. President Fang organizes all online activities."
"Who is President Fang?"
"Fang Tao, a student at Jinling University and the president of our club."
"Aren't you the president?" Yu Dong asked.
"I gave in." Chen Tao chuckled: "After all, I'm still in middle school, I don't have enough time, and I can't think about all aspects of things as thoroughly as Brother Tao, so I simply gave him the position of president to make it easier for him to manage."
Yu Dong nodded: "You are quite capable of developing your own style. Your reasoning club is developing very well. Why did you come to me today?"
Chen Tao rubbed his hands in embarrassment: "This is not to facilitate online activities. We need the website to give some privileges, at least to give the website certification. Brother Tao went to Deep Space to ask before, because we have no procedures and no documents.
, so the company was unwilling to certify us, so I came over and used the back door."
"That's it?"
"Well, that's it."
"Okay, I'll call you later and ask your president to go to the company again."
Chen Tao held Yu Dong's hand excitedly, "You are truly my brother-in-law!"
Yu Dong threw Chen Tao's hand away in disgust, and then asked: "Where's Jin Yang, why didn't he come with you?"
"He has recently fallen in love with computers. He holds a book and studies it every day. He is obsessed with it. He also tells me every day that he will create a software in the future to allow members to play Werewolf on it."
"Oh?" Yu Dong became interested, "Did he say that?"
"Hmm." Chen Tao pursed his lips, "I think he put the cart before the horse. I have played the online werewolf killing activity once and it was not interesting. It is more fun offline. You can hear the sounds and see the expressions, which is more exciting. Besides,
Well, if you really want to play Werewolf online, you can just play it on the website, why do you have to get another software, brother-in-law, don’t you think so?"
Yu Dong didn't say yes or no. He didn't know what Jin Yang was thinking, so he couldn't comment.
However, Yu Dong had met that kid from Jin Yang a few times. He was a smart kid, not as lively as Chen Tao, but he had many ideas and strong logical thinking. So when he heard that Chen Tao and Jin Yang were starting a reasoning club, Yu Dong thought of Jin Yang from the bottom of his heart.
More credit.
"Well, if you have time, you can bring him to my place for a chat, and I'll see what he thinks."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chen Tao nodded: "Okay, wait until next weekend. He will be happy to know that you want to see him."
At this time, Chen Tao looked at the time and suddenly became startled, "No, it's getting late. I have to rush back. Brother-in-law, it's settled. I'll tell Brother Tao when I get back and ask him to go there again."
Deep Space Corporation.”
When Chen Tao finished saying these words, the person had already disappeared.
The young man's steps were still fast, as if the speed of sound could not catch up with him.
After Chen Tao left, Yu Dong called Yu Liang and told Yu Liang about the Yuhua Reasoning Agency. There was no problem in handling the matter. Yu Liang also explained to Yu Dong why he had not certified Yuhua Reasoning Agency because he had recently approached them.
The company requires certification and there are too many individuals and organizations that require permissions.
Some of these individuals and organizations are real, and some are scammers. They want to get a certification from the Deep Space Company, so they go so far as to cheat on the website. Therefore, the company is more strict about certification. Generally, there is no certification without proof materials.
Certification will be given.
"It's a good thing to have stricter control. We must not let the website's certification become rotten and unconvincing."
"By the way, boss, "Men in Black" and "Fatal Identity" will be released in July. Do you want to go to the United States?"
Yu Dong thought for a while and asked: "When is the release date of "Old Book" set?"
"The initial date is August 9, the day of the Chinese Valentine's Day."
"Then let me go again in early August. Then we will arrange a few autograph sessions and hold them together. I will ask Yu Hua and the others later. If they have time, I can also arrange autograph sessions for them."
"okay, I get it."
…
"Old Book" is scheduled to be released simultaneously around the world during the Chinese Valentine's Day, which is a good sign. After all, "Old Book" is related to love. At the same time, it can also promote China's Valentine's Day to other countries. It is also a good opportunity to promote traditional Chinese culture.
In addition, the reason why Yu Dong insisted on dragging Yu Hua and the others to book signings was because he wanted them to make more appearances abroad.
As long as there are more appearances and more publicity, Chinese literature can always make a name for itself in foreign countries.
