Chapter 467 Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Bloom

The worst was in the 1990s, when the performance of many military enterprises declined sharply and the loss of talent was quite serious. This phenomenon was not reversed until the late 1990s and the early 21st century.

The country was poor, so it focused on the economy and people's livelihood, keeping a low profile, and temporarily put the military industry aside.

This is a historical trend that no one can change.

This is also the reason why Fang Minghua loves his younger sister and tries his best to provide financial support.

Doing scientific research is hard and poor, and others can't do anything about it, but my younger sister and brother-in-law can't live too hard.

The six-day holiday passed quickly, and the work officially started on the sixth day of the first lunar month, but the employees were sparse and uneven. This phenomenon will not disappear completely until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

This year, the second issue of "Yanhe" was published as scheduled. The editor-in-chief recommended column was Lu Yao's novel "The Tree of Life", which finally met readers after several revisions.

The novel immediately attracted the attention of the literary world as soon as it was published: Lu Yao, who had been silent for two years, finally started publishing novels again!

But this novella is neither like his previous "Life", which caused a sensation in the literary world as soon as it was published, and was praised by all circles, nor is it like "Ordinary World" which was cold and ignored.

The critics praised Lu Yao's "Tree of Life" with mixed reviews. Those who praised it praised it as Lu Yao's transformation work, breaking away from the traditional narrative style, and the article is full of internal tension. Critics believe that Lu Yao does not insist on realistic writing, and also engages in those magical realism and fancy things. The bold description of lust in it makes people feel uncomfortable.

Some people even joked: "That silly man from Qin Province has also betrayed! He has thrown himself into the embrace of avant-garde writing."

It was mid-March, and today was a Sunday, with warm sunshine.

Song Tangtang drove her two children to her brother's house early in the morning, saying that she and her sister-in-law were going to the zoo with her little nephew.

Fang Minghua did not go, and was happy to be free.

After practicing calligraphy at home, he felt bored, so he rode his 28-bar out and wandered around the city aimlessly.

After exiting the West Gate and turning south along the city wall, he unknowingly arrived near Bianjia Village.

He was quite familiar with this area. His sister had studied at Xida University and Xi'an University of Technology. He often came here, and he also gave lectures at Xida University.

In addition, Lei Xuecheng, whom he knew, opened a bookstore here.

He occasionally came to chat with Lei Xuecheng, and felt that it was quite interesting. Although Lei Xuecheng failed in the literary path and was forced to do business, his literary quality was still relatively high. In the future, he would be a literary young owner of an Internet celebrity bookstore.

The books sold were also ingenious, some were very niche, and even the songs played in the bookstore were different.

Just then, Fang Minghua rode over and heard a man's hoarse singing from the bookstore:

I walked from Jiangnan,

The face waiting in the season is like the opening and falling of lotus flowers

The east wind does not come, and the catkins in March do not fly,

Your heart is a small lonely city,

Just like the bluestone streets in the evening

Fang Minghua sat on the bicycle, one foot on the ground, and he heard it.

It was "Error" sung by Luo Dayou.

"Error" is a modern poem written by Zheng Chouyu, a contemporary poet from Taiwan, China. It is one of the representative works of modern lyric poetry in the Chinese poetry world and has been included in textbooks many times at home and abroad.

Luo Dayou composed and sang it himself and included it in his first album "Zhihuzheya".

This is Luo Dayou's first album to be released publicly. Classic songs such as "Childhood" and "The Story of Time" come from this album.

In addition, "Lugang Town", "Zhihuzheya" and "Four Rhymes of Homesickness" are also widely sung, but this "Error" is very niche.

But in this sunny March, the warm wind that happened to blow when I stopped, and listening to this song again, it seems particularly beautiful.

Fang Minghua put away the bicycle and walked into the bookstore.

There were several readers standing by the bookshelf in the bookstore, reading books quietly. At the bar, it was not Lei Xuecheng but a girl wearing a red sweater and a ponytail.

Fang Minghua knew her.

Lei Xuecheng's girlfriend, Wu Meimei.

Lei Xuecheng is quite popular with girls. A few years ago, he went to a magazine office in the middle of the night to steal books with a little girl. He opened a bookstore and was liked by the girl of the landlord. The two established a romantic relationship.

Wu Meimei naturally knew Fang Minghua. When she saw him come in, she called him sweetly: "Editor-in-Chief Fang."

Fang Minghua also smiled and greeted him, and asked: "You are not working today, where is Xuecheng?"

"He is taking a nap in the back, I will go to call him."

Ha.

These days are also leisurely.

Fang Minghua sighed and said: "No, I'll just walk around."

"I'll go to call him, he should get up."

The girl ran into the back room, and Fang Minghua stood in front of the bookshelf and flipped through it.

There was a row of bookshelves selling various magazines, all of which were serious literature "Contemporary", "Harvest", "People's Literature", etc., and "Yanhe" was also on the list.

Fang Minghua looked at the cover, it was the latest issue.

At this time, Lei Xuecheng followed Wu Meimei out.

"Meimei, go pour tea for Editor Fang. Editor Fang, please sit down." Lei Xuecheng greeted warmly.

"You're welcome. How's your business?"

"Not bad. It's no problem to support me." Lei Xuecheng said in a relaxed tone.

"Support you alone?" Fang Minghua glanced at Wu Meimei who was pouring tea again: "More than just you, right? When are you getting married?"

When Lei Xuecheng heard this, his expression suddenly became twisted, but Wu Meimei said openly: "My mother said that I will be 20 years old in October this year, and I can get a marriage certificate when I reach the legal age!"

The girl is not even 20 years old?

Fang Minghua remembered that Lei Xuecheng was almost the same age as him, but he was already 29!

Marry a girl 9 years younger than you!

What a beast.

Fang Minghua cursed secretly in his mind.

But look at this girl, she looks happy.

"Editor Fang, when the time comes, we will treat you to wedding candy!" Wu Meimei said again.

"Okay, don't forget to notify me when the date is set."

After chatting with the girl for a while, Fang Minghua noticed the latest copy of "Yanhe" again and took it out to ask Lei Xuecheng.

"Xuecheng, this issue has published one of Lu Yao's latest novels. As a reader, what do you think after reading it?"

"I read the article "The Tree of Life" written by Lu Yao. It was unexpected but also reasonable." Lei Xuecheng said frankly.

"Oh, can you tell me more specifically?" Fang Minghua picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"It's unreasonable because the style of Lu Yao's new work published after two years of rest is completely different from what he wrote before. Unexpectedly, he abandoned the traditional realist writing technique that he is good at and moved closer to the post-modern writing style of magical realism. "

"But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense. I think that for Lu Yao personally, "Life" is the pinnacle of his traditional realist writing techniques, even more than the later "Ordinary World."

As soon as they finished speaking, Wu Meimei, who was listening to their chat, interrupted: "No, I think "The Ordinary World" is better. I cried when I watched it, and my classmates and the little sisters in our workshop also like to watch it!"

"You are laymen watching the excitement and only experts looking at the door." Lei Xuecheng explained patiently:

"I didn't say that "The Ordinary World" is not good, but from a literary perspective, "Life" is of higher value. Lu Yao seems to have seen this, so he strives to change, otherwise what he writes will be nothing more than It's a remake of "Life" or "The Ordinary World."

Fang Minghua nodded. It seemed that Lei Xuecheng did have some literary skills.

"Then what do you think of Lu Yao's transformation?" Fang Minghua asked again.

"Overall, it is quite successful. Although this novel has flaws, it uses the strengths of magical realism writing without completely losing its original advantages. The combination is pretty good."

"Well, what you said sounds reasonable. I also read his "The Tree of Life", but I still prefer to read his "The Ordinary World"!" The little girl still insisted on her opinion.

Fang Minghua laughed after hearing this.

Lei Xuecheng shook his head helplessly. He seemed to not want to talk about this issue anymore, so he changed the topic and said, "Editor Fang, I actually really like a poem published in this issue."

"Is it the song "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers are Blooming"?"

"Yes, the writing is so beautiful! Haizi is such a talented poet!" Lei Xuecheng said with admiration on his face.

Haizi? !

Fang Minghua suddenly thought of something, his face changed drastically, and he asked hurriedly: "What's the number today?"

"Today is the 25th, what's wrong?" Wu Meimei said.

Damn it!

Tomorrow, the 26th, is the day Haizi commits suicide!
