Chapter 286 Timely Rain in Jinmen(1/2)
Chapter 286 Timely rain in Jinmen
On New Year's Eve, Lin Weimin went to the Capital Reading Library on the pretext of looking for information for his creations, and spent a long time flipping through the newspapers and magazines of the past few days.
His grandma's group of people will not rest even during the Chinese New Year, and they will criticize endlessly.
I didn’t see any intervention measures from relevant departments, but Lin Weimin saw several articles criticizing him.
If you have too many lice, don't bite them, if you have too many debts, don't worry about them. That's what you say, but it's enough to be annoying if these things just hang around you like mosquitoes.
Fortunately, one good thing is that the intensity of criticism seems to have declined recently. At least Lin Weimin searched for a long time and saw articles criticizing him less frequently than before.
This is a good sign!
Lin Weimin casually opened another newspaper, which was this morning's "Yanjing Youth Daily". Earlier, reporter Li Xiangyang also published a commentary article "Let the bullets fly for a while", which caused a wave of response, but was soon submerged in the
amid a flood of criticism.
Huh?
When Lin Weimin quickly browsed the newspaper, he discovered something interesting.
"This is……"
The author is still Li Xiangyang, the overly enthusiastic journalist comrade Lin Weimin remembers.
…
Of course, the more important thing is you. If it were not for your contribution to the country, the relevant departments would not be able to take such painstaking efforts.
Jiang Zilong's tone on the phone was full of envy.
Lin Weimin couldn't figure out what Comrade Li Xiangyang was doing? It couldn't be just because he liked his own works, right?
Unfortunately, Brother Yudao's condition was so serious that the hospital was helpless. Finally, Brother Yudao and his wife decided to return to their hometown for conservative treatment. Before leaving, Brother Yudao said goodbye to Comrade Weimin. Zeng said that the most regretful thing in his life was that he had not written a novel.
A solid novel. Comrade Weimin has a humorous personality. At that time, he joked that he would write a novel and send it to Brother Yudao.
After the death of Brother Yudao, Comrade Weimin also provided financial assistance to Brother Yudao's family. This matter was informed by Brother Yudao's wife when a member of the Xining Literary and Art Association came to express condolences, and later spread to the ears of many colleagues in the literary world.
Lin Weimin thought about it and had a hunch in his mind.
But by this second article, it felt as if he was Lin Weimin's attorney, sparing no effort to defend Lin Weimin, a writer who was "unjustly imprisoned."
Comrade Weimin once said to me that Lao Guo (Guo Yudao) had a very hard life. I promised Lao Guo this book and wanted him to be a son of a rich family and have an unforgettable love. At that moment,
Very sad.
The call went to the long distance station and I waited for more than half an hour before the call came through.
At the end of the article, Li Xiangyang did not forget to appeal to readers to distinguish right from wrong and not to be fooled by the tricks of insidious villains. At the same time, he pointed out from a high position that the culture of being punished for words cannot last forever and cannot reverse the course of history...
"What on earth is going on?" Lin Weimin asked Jiang Zilong on the phone.
Although the content of Lao Jiang's letter praised him like a living saint, which was a bit disgusting, who wouldn't feel comfortable being praised?
What's going on with Lin Weimin now?
Jiang Zilong took the risk and asked Li Xiangyang to publish the correspondence between them in the newspaper to publicize Lin Weimin, which really made Lin Weimin feel guilty.
For the people, to be honest, Mr. Chen was implicated when he spoke for me. In the end, he alerted the chief minister to calm down the matter.
…”
"Let me borrow your work phone number."
"Haha, I didn't think too much at the time, I just wanted to speak up. If Mr. Chen hadn't helped me back then, I wouldn't be where I am today. Now you are also facing the same situation. Since someone found
I'm sorry, I must say something fair. But I really didn't expect that Li Xiangyang would write me another letter later..."
I used to think that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, acted like a big brother.
Jiang Zilong explained on the phone that Li Xiangyang contacted him through people from the Jinmen Literary Association. At first, he just said that he knew that he and Lin Weimin were classmates in the Literary Research Institute, so he wanted to know more about his experience in the novel "Lover"
view.
…
Jiang Zilong only regarded this as a very ordinary communication. He had a close friendship with Lin Weimin, and the quality of "Lover" was indeed good. Coupled with the large-scale criticism of Lin Weimin from outside, it really reminded him of his previous experience.
The situation he faced in the past few years was almost exactly the same, so he praised the work "Lover" in his correspondence.
Since "Lover" was published in "Contemporary", the reviews have been mixed, and the public opinion has been fierce. Regardless of readers, many colleagues and seniors have written eloquently, filled with righteous indignation, and have great potential to bring comrades to justice. Last month, I also learned from a friend,
Comrade Weimin has already suspended his work because of this incident. The seriousness of the situation reminds me of what happened a few years ago, and it is inevitable that I feel as if a rabbit has died and a fox has died.
"Old Jiang, don't say that. The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the strong wind knows the honest minister. I want to thank you for this matter." Lin Weimin said sincerely.
"Lao Jiang! Haha, my good big brother! You are really a timely helper in Tianjin!"
Most of the article of more than 4,000 words is the content of correspondence between Li Xiangyang, Jiang Zilong, and the Xining Literary Association. The rest is Li Xiangyang's account of how he became interested in Lin Weimin's criticism and wrote this article.
"Who to call?" Qu Xiaowei asked.
He did not shy away from telling the truth that he was deeply involved in this matter after being entrusted by the relevant departments, but this did not damage Lin Weimin's gratitude to him.
You must know that in this era, being involved in an incident like Lin Weimin's and losing your job is just a trivial matter...
Qu Xiaowei was confused, why did he call Lao Jiang in such a hurry?
Lin Weimin saw the doubt in his mind, and without further explanation, he threw a newspaper to Qu Xiaowei, which Lin Weimin bought on the way here.
He quickly packed up his things, left the Capital Library, and went to the Cultural Center where Qu Xiaowei worked.
"Comrade Xiangyang:
Hello, I received your letter. In your previous letter, you mentioned that you hoped to write a review article about Comrade Weimin and "Lover". I have read it through your newspaper a few days ago, and I would like to express my approval and thanks.
What a pity! Brother Yudao passed away due to illness in May this year. Before his death, Brother Yudao and his wife went to Yanjing for medical treatment and contributed a lot to the people.
"Why are you here?" Qu Xiaowei asked in surprise.
The prototype of the character 'Guo Yudao' in "The Lover" is actually Guo Yudao, a new savage in southern Hebei, a middle school teacher in XN City, and also a children's literature writer. He is the author of the short story "Prairie Eagle" and the novella "Eagle of the Prairie".
"The Sound of the Piano by the Agate River", "The Adventures of Bird Island", "The Secret Under the Beach", etc.
"No, you must not. To thank you, you should thank the relevant departments and Comrade Li Xiangyang. One of them is making suggestions behind the scenes, and the other is a pioneer in the front. Without them, this matter would never be possible.
But as you may have seen in this article, Comrade Li Xiangyang and I were almost reduced to artillerymen firing artillery shells. Faced with this situation, I was a little hesitant.
Brother Yudao is a classmate of Comrade Lin Weimin and I at the Institute of Literature. Our group of students entered the Institute of Literature in April 1980 and graduated in October. The study in just half a year has been useful for life, and at the same time, we have also formed profound friendships.
The friendship of classmates.
I would like to call you the timely rain in Jinmen.
As soon as the call came through, Lin Weimin burst out laughing, which startled Qu Xiaowei.
Although the article in the "Yanjing Metropolis Daily" can roughly tell the whole story, Lin Weimin still doesn't understand the details and needs Jiang Zilong to explain it to him.
Although what happened to you this time did not alert the chief minister, it may have caused a department of this level to plan and rack their brains for you. It is really enviable to say it!
Brother, I have never enjoyed such treatment in my life!"
"I was confused at the time. How could this matter be related to the relevant departments? To be honest, I have no problem saying a few good words for you in the newspaper.
Seeing Lin Weimin's serious face, it seemed that he was on business, Qu Xiaowei quickly took him to the curator's office and borrowed a phone.
It was on the second page of the Yanjing Youth Daily that an article caught his attention.
Later, he saw Li Xiangyang's first commentary article in the Yanjing Metropolis Daily.
Later he really wrote it, and "Lover" was completed during the "Contemporary Novel Seminar". At that time, many famous domestic writers gathered at the Dongshan Hotel in Yantai. I was fortunate enough to be invited to attend the meeting and chatted with Comrade Weimin about this novel.
novel.
Zilong only stated one sentence here: "Guo Yudao" in "Lover" is definitely not a traitorous businessman in old Shanghai. This time Comrade serving the people has been smeared and spread by villains for no reason. This is not only a personal injury to him, but also to the deceased brother Yudao.
I have informed the Xining Literary and Art Association about this matter and hope that you will write to me to verify the situation and then make the news public.
After reading the entire article, Lin Weimin felt a sense of well-being.
However, he had already read the copy of "Yanjing Youth Daily" brought by Lin Weimin at this time, so he naturally understood Lin Weimin's excitement.
"Old ginger! Old ginger!" Lin Weimin muttered as he patted the newspaper.
Lin Weimin originally didn't have much feelings for this comrade who was an overly enthusiastic journalist in his impression, but in the two articles before and after, the first article was fine. I just felt that he was interpreting Lin Weimin and "" from a different perspective than most critics.
The novel "Lover" is of course mainly based on praise.
Li Xiangyang's second letter told Jiang Zilong that comrades from relevant departments had found him after reading his review article, hoping that he could write another article, not only to overwhelm the current one-sided criticism, attack, and discredit Lin Weimin.
Public opinion, and more importantly, we must try our best to bridge the impact of these negative public opinions on Lin Weimin himself during this period.
Now when I look at it, the top spot in the Literary Research Institute belongs to you!
All of the above matters are complicated and complicated under the agitated mood. Comrade Xiangyang can decide for himself whether there is any available material, or he can publish this reply letter in a newspaper.
When Jiang Zilong said this, he couldn't help laughing.
After "Lover" was published, I had the opportunity to read it immediately. In the novel, Guo Yudao and Jian are deeply in love. Although they are separated by worlds, they will remain together until death. It is so touching that it makes people sigh with admiration after reading it. He has completed his education for the comrades of the people.
Brother Dao’s promise.
Then he turned his attention to the newspaper and looked at the three words "Li Xiangyang".
To be continued...
