Chapter 5 Are You You?

"The 1000-degree cobra spits out a long letter and shouts to Mangmang and Titi frantically, I will never turn over..."

The hateful cobra described in "Mangmang and Titi" quickly resonated with primary and secondary school students across the country. The cobra became synonymous with the director of teaching, and the author Liu Jingting, who created this synonym, also became the object of hot chat among students.

"That guy is simply a genius. Cobra searches through the trash cans and tries to find the handles of Mangmang and Titti. Isn't it a copy of our Director of Teaching?"

At that time, in order to prevent primary and secondary school students from having an early love, the school often sneaked through the trash can and looked for clues about students' early love or writing aggressive remarks.

Liu Jingting's fairy tale sparked a cloud of discussion, which immediately attracted the attention of experts and the media, and was called the "Cobra phenomenon", so another wave of discussion on primary and secondary school education quietly emerged.

Liu Jingting did not expect that things had developed to this point, but the overall trend was still under control and the effect was better. As a college student who had experienced the Internet era, Liu Jingting knew very well that the power represented by the media in an era of information explosion was a bright double-edged sword.

After careful analysis and preparation, Liu Jingting accepted an interview with the Municipal Education Television Station and expressed the following meanings:

1. I am eager to return to campus to study;

2. Thank you for your love for his story, but the high school entrance examination is about to be imminent. I just want to study with peace of mind. I hope everyone will only pay attention to the story and not to him;

3. Call on primary and secondary schools across the country to create a good learning environment for students, and hope that teachers will love their students.

In front of the camera, the amateur, nervous but sincere Liu Jingting's aptly narrated and expressed left a profound impression on the audience, and it was very obscure but vividly portrayed an excellent three-good student who was forced to drop out of school by the dark forces of the school. Especially his panicked but eager eyes showed a strong accusation of a middle school student of the brutal and indifferent teachers in the school.

The day after Liu Jingting was interviewed, the leaders of the Municipal Education Bureau personally cared for him, and the principal of the No. 1 Middle School in the city came to his house and invited Liu Jingting to attend their school for free.

As for the prototype of the cobra in Liu Jingting's original school, Director Wang was criticized by the teaching office and suspended his job. The principal and head teacher Zheng were also punished accordingly. The storm of Liu Jingting's withdrawal was successfully resolved.

Liu Jingting, who was editor-in-chief of the "Top of the High School Entrance Examination" and created "Mangmang and Titi", went to No. 1 Middle School to study, which caused a lot of commotion. However, due to Liu Jingting's own deliberate low-keyness and school protection, Liu Jingting quickly returned to the normal life of middle school students. However, this kind of life lasted for less than three days, and a strange girl suddenly found him.

A long navy jacket, loose trousers, blue cloth shoes, black shoulder bag, white headphones, fair skin, and a nearly mature figure... When Liu Jingting saw the girl in front of him, he still praised her in his heart, but as a college student soul, he would not be as drooling as a middle school boy.

"Hey, hello, are you looking for me?" Liu Jingting pointed at his ear and asked.

The girl took off her headphones, looked at Liu Jingting, was stunned for a moment, and said, "Are you the little boy writing about cobra?"

When a girl younger than him called a child, Liu Jingting frowned and said, "My name is Liu Jingting, what are you asking for?"

"Yes, your name is Liu Jingting, and then Gu Yongsheng is also you?"

"Ah? Oh, that, stage name, stage name."

The girl stared at Liu Jingting for a few seconds and said, "I need you to answer me honestly, are you Gu Yongsheng himself?"

"My name is Liu Jingting, and Gu Yongsheng is my pen name."

"Are you sure you are yourself?" the girl asked.

Although Liu Jingting possesses the wisdom of adulthood, he was still asked by this philosophical question. He reached out and touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "The vast universe is full of countless unsolved mysteries. Where does human beings come from and where does it go, what is the ultimate concept of human beings, what is the connection and reason between the three iota, self and superego? I am still exploring these questions. Why did the child suddenly ask this when he is young?"

The girl widened her eyes and was completely confused. Only when she could understand the last sentence, he actually called her child and said angrily: "You call me a child, you are the little brat."

"How old are you this year?"

"Seventeen, how old are you, thirteen or fourteen?"

Liu Jingting suddenly realized that he was fourteen years old this year. When he saw a beautiful girl, he couldn't help but pretend to behave like a bad habit. It was really hard to change. Liu Jingting hurriedly smiled and said, "Hello sister, I just joked with you. I am reciting a sample essay."

"I don't blame you. Just be honest, who is Gu Yongsheng?" The girl looked like "I can't hide anything from my sister."

Liu Jingting pointed at himself and said, "It's me. If you don't believe it, I will recite "Dragon and Tiger Fighting Jinghua" to you now." Liu Jingting roughly guessed the other party's identity and prescribed the right medicine.

"Ah, that, did you really write "Dragon and Tiger Fight against Jinghua"?"

"If you want to change it, are you the editor of "The Great Jianghu"?"

"I am Mihu, editor of "The Great Jianghu".

"I have long admired Daming. I have read your "Walking the Birds". It is very well written. I am going to imitate and write an article "Walking the Dogs." Liu Jingting's hateful humorous cell was once again out of control.

Mihu looked unhappy and said, "You are mocking me."

Liu Jingting regretted Mi Hu's expression and hurriedly added: "The other birds are flying away, but there are birds that are waiting. I like this sentence very much. Mi Hu, don't be angry. I am a joke and have no malice." Liu Jingting really read "The Remaining Bird". At that time, he was very well-read in order to find literary books in this world.

After hearing Liu Jingting recite his proud sentence, Mihu's anger also disappeared, and he said embarrassedly: "I wrote it two years ago, and now I am embarrassed to read it again."

Liu Jingting smiled and said, "Common, I have similar experiences. Sometimes I get goosebumps when I read what I wrote before. Why didn't I write it later?"

"Because I find myself better at commenting and discovering new books, such as your book "Dragon and Tiger Fighting Jinghua."

"There are still many immature aspects in game production, which you probably can see too." Liu Jingting was very modest.

"You are so young, why do you think about writing such a story?"

"I heard my grandfather tell the story of the Seven Heroes and Five Righteous Ones since I was a child. I yearn for it, and I hope that I can create some heroes and heroes in the future. But I also found that the martial arts stories that we are popular now are generally a bit old-fashioned, and the methods and techniques of narrating stories are still in the Republic of China. Think about it, now it is a new century, a new era, everything is being renovated. Why can't martial arts stories keep pace with the times?"

Liu Jingting's words were naturally clichés in his previous life and were not worth mentioning, but in this era when literary works were seriously scarce, it seemed unique. Of course, the main reason was that he could not tell Mi Hu that he had traveled through time or had a dream to get out of his mind, and he would just fool him in the mist.

After hearing this, Mi Hu really had no doubts about Liu Jingting anymore. He looked at the young boy in front of him in shock and said, "How do you want to innovate?"

"It's a long story. Let's go to the pavilion over there to talk." Liu Jingting wanted to write those books, first of all, to establish a good cooperative relationship with a publishing house. Of course, once his stories are born, a publishing house will contact him, but not all publishing houses have beautiful editors like Mihu.

The two sat down in the pavilion, and Liu Jingting continued to sell his literary concepts, starting with a question: "What do you think is the most important thing in a novel?"

Like a student, Mihu thought for a while and said, "Emotions, writing style."

Liu Jingting smiled slightly and said, "I think it is an interesting novel. No matter how emotional or literary style you have, no one will read it. If there are no readers to read it, what is the meaning of your feelings and literary style?"

"You are a popular literature view, it's too commercial," Mihu said.

Liu Jingting shook his head and said, "In fact, the two are not a relationship of either one or the other, and can be unified. Confucius said that poetry should be prosperous, observant, group, and resentful. Among them, this group means that readers pay attention to it. The story theory is too deep, and the song is too high and there are few people. Without audiences, what is the use of the truth? If it can be easily understood, wouldn't it be better?"

"It's very difficult." Mihu is known for being a newcomer and sharp person. She mostly agrees with Liu Jingting's words, but if she wants to elicit more words from Liu Jingting, she needs to express this opposite attitude.

"It's not difficult, but all the four great classics in China have done this, especially the red ones..."

"Four Great Classics?" Mihu asked in confusion.

Liu Jingting swallowed and suddenly remembered that there were four great classics in this world. There were "Twenty-Four Histories". They studied "The Three Kingdoms" but did not know "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". They knew that Tang Seng took the Western Classic and heard the story of Sun Wukong making a fuss in the Heavenly Palace, but they had never read "Journey to the West". Except for one of the four great classics, the other three are cumulative works, and are a sorting and interpretation of the legends and scattered stories of the predecessors by later generations. Obviously, no one in this world has done this job.

"Well, yes, in a few years, you will know that in short, I want to express that literary works that are separated from the people may not be good works. The stories I want to write are both spring and snow, and people who are young and old, and the whole nation is carnival."

Mi Hu looked at Liu Jingting and her expression changed slightly. She had never met someone who could completely suppress her in the debate on literary and artistic theory. The middle school student in front of her, both Ci Feng and existing works, showed vigorous ambitions, which made her unable to refute.

"Then have you had any idea about your next work?" Mihu said the real purpose of this trip, and wanted to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with this author.
