: Hurt others first, hurt yourself first

In early April, the April 1984 issue of "People's Literature" was released as scheduled.

Without any warning, a novel in the magazine, with the main story of bandits fighting bullies, became popular.

This novel does not keep up with current events and styles, nor does it have fancy writing techniques and narrative methods. The creative technique can be said to be simple and unpretentious, but the writing style is sophisticated and the story is penetrating. It has been favored by countless readers in a short period of time.

love and admiration.

At the beginning, everyone was naturally attracted by the gimmick in the novel about the real name of the character "Six Sons", "Lin Weimin", and naturally connected this novel with the writer Lin Weimin, who had been criticized and attacked some time ago.

Together.

For several months, various newspapers and magazines bombarded Lin Weimin, as if they wanted to kill him. Although there were many negative impacts, there were also positive impacts.

That was when Lin Weimin became famous nationwide again.

When the media, including the Yanjing Youth Daily, began to rectify Lin Weimin's name, many people found out.

Oh, it turns out this writer was wrongly accused.

For ordinary readers, the news in newspapers probably has the same impact on them.

Only then did Zhang Jianjun sigh with emotion: "The more I read this novel by Teacher Lin, the more profound and profound it becomes."

Lin Weimin shook his head, "I have no regrets. The United States is not a paradise. I was just scolded for a few days. It's nothing compared to what you, teachers, suffered at that time."

A boy with small eyes pondered and said: "I think, on the surface, Teacher Lin should be scolding the writer Wu Ruiping who published an article in the newspaper to attack him before. The pronunciation of Wu Wu is similar.

"The story of Taizu leading the people to conquer the world!" Tong Zhonggui's eyes flashed, "Teacher Lin, I have always wanted to ask you, is this really the case? Is there really such a profound meaning behind "The Thief of Officials"?

"

"How did you know?"

Those who were born in the 1980s, if they lived long enough, would probably understand what "Geng" is.

As they talked, two people got up on the bar, and the others watched them with interest and ate while watching.

After publishing a long speech, Tong Zhonggui looked convinced.

"What about Huang Shiro?"

Mr. Wan asked: "How was it? Do you regret not agreeing to his invitation? If you had gone to the United States last year, you might not have had so many troubles."

Compared with Tong Zhonggui's partial belief, the veterans in the editorial department are not so easy to fool.

Zhang Jianjun suddenly said: "Yes, yes, Zhang Muzhi, Zhang Muzhi, look at me, I'm confused!"

After Mr. Wan came out of the toilet, Lin Weimin said with a smile: "By the way, teacher. I heard that your "Sunrise" is going to be adapted into a movie?"

Arthur Miller has been back in the United States for half a year, and the American version of the play "The Intouchables" will be premiered on Broadway next month.

What kind of deep meaning can I have, and what does it have to do with me? If you can, go to Jiang Wen!

However, later generations of Lin Weimin also read those articles on the Internet that randomly interpreted "Let the Bullets Fly", so when writing the novel, he also deleted the metaphors that were too sensitive and easy for people to misunderstand.

Ten months after "The Thief of Officials" was published, the popularity it aroused has gradually become a trend. In particular, there are countless questions about which people who originally attacked Lin Weimin were insulted in the novel, and which historical figures are hidden behind them.

A topic that readers are passionate about discussing.

At the same time, in the cafeteria of Yanjing Normal University.

"Who do you think this martial arts scholar is?" Zhang Jianjun asked.

Mr. Wan is now over seventy years old, and Lin Weimin cannot bear to ask him to go through the back door with others for his own sake.

But no one asked Lin Weimin about it, because everyone felt that since Lin Weimin insisted on writing the story in an obscure way, he must have his own intentions.

When everyone heard this, they became interested and hurriedly asked: "Oh? How did your classmates discuss it?"

Therefore, when people appear in the novel "The Thief of Officials" with a scene like "The real name of the six sons is Lin Weimin", it is more of a fun-loving mentality.

After saying that, he asked Zhu Changsheng on the side, "Hey, by the way. What is the name of a fist in Jin Yong's novel?"

After a while, while Mr. Wan was going to the toilet, Li Yuru quietly said to Lin Weimin: "He feels a little uncomfortable because he didn't help you before."

"Who else could it be? Chang Kaishen! It is written in the novel that Huang Silang was once a revolutionary and he could also speak fluent English."

Lin Weimin asked with a relaxed expression: "What story?"

On the contrary, Tong Zhonggui, who was standing aside, said seriously: "Now in our school, the most discussed thing among students is Teacher Lin's novel."

"Hehe!" Lin Weimin laughed and said, "Those are all unreliable grass-roots teams!"

"We call it popular, and you wouldn't even understand it if I told you."

Zhu Changsheng suppressed his laughter and said: "Seven Injury Fist, hurt yourself first, then hurt others."

There is a proper term in Buddhism called "fighting the machine front", which in layman's terms means a weakling, which is probably the current state of Teacher Lin.

"It's not a good thing for young people to always be separated from each other." Mr. Wan sighed, and then asked: "Would you like me to help you ask and transfer to the corresponding unit in Yanjing?"

Everyone could no longer hold back their smiles and burst into laughter.

This is not a problem of Teacher Lin's writing skills, but of taking into account the readers' feelings and the external environment.

"My brother-in-law turned out to be a director at Shanghai Film Studio. You can ask me later if my novel can be adapted into a movie."

The storm was completely over, and the two of them were in a good mood. At the same time, Mr. Wan told Lin Weimin some good news.

"Do you still need to ask? Teacher Lin is scolding "Literary Review". Huang Silang's family has two dogs, one is called Justice and the other is called People's Heart. Hey, do you still remember those two articles in "Literary Review"?

"

"Why do you feel terrible?" Liu Yin asked.

At this time, someone else retorted: "Who said this novel was written by Teacher Lin? The author is clearly named Zhang Muzhi!"

Teacher Lin’s thoughts are indeed beyond the reach of ordinary readers like us!

Liu Yin read aloud the contents of a letter from a reader, and all her colleagues laughed, creating a joyful atmosphere in the office.

"There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers. Each work is different in the eyes of different readers. This is not because of the work, but because of the people who read the work..."

"Because this reminds people of the old society that ate people without spitting out their bones." Tong Zhonggui said this, turned his attention to Lin Weimin, and asked: "Teacher Lin, a small number of classmates around me feel that this novel is a substitute for

You redress your grievances and accuse the villains who smeared and slandered you, but in fact you are telling a different story."

In the period since "The Thief of Officials" was published, everyone has seen this scene countless times and participated in it countless times, but they always enjoy it.

Mr. Wan glanced at his wife and said, "You think I don't know? There are many directors who want to adapt your novel, but I haven't seen any one you agree to adapt?"

Tong Zhonggui thought for a while and said: "The most discussed part at the beginning was definitely the part where Liuzi eats fans. Many people thought it was absurd at first, but the biggest feeling is still scary."

When May was approaching, Lin Weimin went to Mr. Wan's house to have a meal.

Everyone laughed.

"Still like that, she is still working in Zhijiang for the time being."

Lin Weimin was a little surprised, but after thinking about it he said, "I won't bother you, teacher. I can just figure this out myself."

In the past few days, Lin Weimin began to receive letters from readers forwarded by the editorial office of "People's Literature". He did not expect that the filth he threw towards the opposite side would hurt himself first before hurting others.

Everyone heard from Lin Weimin more than once that he read Taizu's poems. After Yao Shuzhi and Liu Yin went to Lin Weimin's house, they also talked about Taizu's "Man Jiang Hong" hanging on the wall of Lin Weimin's living room.

If this guy just wanted to curse people, he would never write such a long novel. He curses people, but there must be deep meaning in it.

Lin Weimin scratched his head, "Hey, I have to vent after all!"

But if we look closely, this martial arts scholar should represent the bureaucrats and warlords of the former Qing Dynasty. They were armed and cunning. At the same time, they wanted to please everyone. They didn't offend anyone. They had evil intentions and served whoever was in power."

"I think Yuan Gongbao is not suitable. There are too many places where Chang Kaishen can match up. Look..."

"No, no, I think it should be Yuan Gongbao. He stole the fruits of the revolution and pretended to be democratic, but in fact he was dictatorial."

Teacher Lin is really interesting.

Finally, they stopped after both of them said they were tired and the food in the lunch boxes was cold.

"Lin Weimin, nicknamed Liuzi, godfather Zhang Muzhi, was born in the 12th year of the Republic of China and died at the age of 18. He loved swaying fans throughout his life."

Lin Weimin should be a fanatical believer of Taizu. He wrote the novel "The Thief of Officials" to scold the people who attacked and smeared him. This was only for superficial reasons. His real purpose was to popularize Taizu's thoughts.

Tsk tsk, this kid, despite his cheerful appearance, is really deep-minded!

Lin Weimin dismissed the bad taste of this group of people and stacked the manuscripts in his hands with a bang.

He Qizhi said: "No, I think we should hurt others first before hurting ourselves."

Rong Shihui sighed: "For the people, for the people, you are not called smart, but you are mistaken for being smart?"

Through this conversation, he was greatly inspired. When Teacher Lin wrote the novel "The Thief of Officials", he may have thought about it in his mind for ten points, but after writing it, it became seven points.

After reading it, we as readers will probably be able to understand the intention of Teacher San Sanlin.

The little-eyed boy's analysis made everyone nod frequently.

After hearing this, everyone showed a malicious smile.

"What about the hidden figure behind it?"

You obviously want to write a novel to curse people, but you still have to use a pen name. So many characters in the novel use pseudonyms, but a "Sixth Son" who was wrongfully killed has to use his own name. This is pure disgusting people!
