Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 584 The Unknown Liu Zhenyun

He Ping’s plan for the writer’s village, to be precise, is very interesting. The writer’s dormitory area is implemented in four ways: sale, rent, loan, and gift.

Among them, the writer's dormitory for sale accounts for only one-sixth of the entire dormitory area.

There are two purposes. The first is to recover part of the funds. It may not be a lot, but at least it can save He Ping from investing a sum of money for the next few years of operation.

The second purpose is to allow the writer's village to have a group of fixed residents.There are not many full-time writers in this era, many of them are part-time writers, and their work is basically related to writing or literature. For example, Liu Zhenyun is the editor of "Farmer's Daily".

Therefore, there are not many writers who can really live in the Writers Village for a long time. The most likely thing is that there are some accomplished writer friends who are satisfied with the environment of the park and are willing to buy a place to recuperate here in Ping County.The price of the writer's dormitory sold in this part is similar to that of ordinary houses in the area, which is much lower than houses in big cities like Beijing, and it is still quite competitive.

The rented part is the largest part of the entire park, and nearly two-thirds of the writer's dormitory needs to be rented.The price of renting is very cheap. The largest single-family villas are rented in sets, each set costs 10 yuan per month, and the price of other multi-storey houses ranges from 1 yuan to 3 yuan per month.

The rental price of a multi-storey apartment is very low. Even if there are people who cannot afford the rent, they can still rent with others, as long as they can find someone.

The rental price of a single-family villa is a bit low compared to its style, but it is much higher than that of a multi-storey house. After all, everyone enjoys a single-family villa, so they cannot expect to rent cheap.

The borrowed part is that He Ping is thinking about inviting magazines and newspapers to the Writers’ Village every year to hold symposiums, trainings, pen meetings, creative classes and other activities in the future, and will set aside a small part of the dormitory for them to use, which can also be very good. Promote the relationship between Future Writers Village and major magazines and newspapers, as well as the atmosphere construction of the park.

In the future, He Ping also plans to use the Writers Village to initiate some creative classes, pen meetings, training and other activities, all of which require the cooperation of major magazines and newspapers. This is also an important means for the future development of the Writers Village—to build itself into a domestic literary talent base.

There is also the final gift, He Ping intends to present [-] sets to those writers who have become famous or have won important awards. For example, he himself, who once won the Mao Dun Literature Award, is a very suitable standard.

Liu Zhenyun was assigned to the same house as Chencun and Ma Yuan, and the three of them also lived in a 160-square-meter dormitory.

The real name of Chencun is Yang Yihua, and the name of Chencun is borrowed from the Chencun Reservoir, which is located between Mount Huangshan and Mount Jiuhua.He wrote a short article "Chencun Reservoir", saying that he remembered the piece of water that had passed away, and remembered "the awakening of my long-sick body and the release of depression", so he took "Chencun" as his name. pen name.Therefore, everyone remembered his name as "Chen Cun" and forgot Yang Yihua.

On the road of creation, he is Liu Zhenyun's predecessor, he is a few years older than Liu Zhenyun, and he began to publish works in magazines in 79.His famous work was "I used to live here" published in the third issue of "Shanghai Literature" in 1980.In this work, there is a saying used many times by later generations: We live as old as the Yangtze River.We live, live as young as the Yangtze River.

After that, he wrote "When I was 22 years old" and "Huagouzi Gali" and other works. After several years of writing, he has become a well-known writer in China.

Ma Yuan was a young man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a straight nose and a wide mouth. His qualifications were higher than Liu Zhenyun's and slightly lower than Chen Cun's.He didn't start publishing novels until 82. Two years later, "The Temptation of Gangdis" made him famous.

At that time, "The Temptation of Gangdis" was submitted to "Shanghai Literature", but it was rejected.It was Yang Xiaomin, the editor of "Shanghai Literature", who fought hard against Li Ziyun, the then director, and encouraged a group of writers to help lobby.At that time, Li Ziyun had seriously consulted Li Tuo, Chen Cun, Han Shaogong and many other people for their opinions on this matter.

It was with the unanimous consent and recommendation of these people that Li Ziyun made an exception and agreed to Ma Yuan's "The Temptation of Gangdise" to be published.

Three young people of similar age were under the same roof, and it didn't take long for them to get acquainted, especially Ma Yuan and Chen Cun knew each other from the beginning.

Liu Zhenyun doesn't have many works, and at the same time he is more cautious, so most of the time it is Chen Cun and Ma Yuan who are talking.

"Brother Hua, are you planning to make a home here?" Ma Yuan asked, Chen Cun's real name was Yang Yihua, so Ma Yuan called him Brother Hua.

Chen Cun shook his head, "Although Liang Yuan is good, it is not the hometown of long-term love. Everything here is very good, but I still have a job and family in Shanghai, how can I stay here."

Ma Yuan felt a little regretful, "Yes, it seems that everyone is like this and thinks this place is very good, but they all have jobs and families, so who can stay here!"

Liu Zhenyun interjected: "The vast majority of people will definitely not be able to stay, but I think this is also where Mr. He is astute."

After entering the door, Liu Zhenyun had been taciturn. At this moment, he suddenly spoke, which aroused the interest of Chen Cun and Ma Yuan, "What do you mean by that?"

"You have also heard Mr. He's introduction just now. There are four types of accommodation in the writer's dormitory, sale, rent, loan, and gift. Among them, renting has the largest proportion. Everyone is engaged in creation. When many people create What I like the most is the practice of retreat. Teacher He’s "renting" method hits our pain point very well. The environment here is beautiful and quiet, without trivial life and work pressure, and one or two months are spared every year It is very suitable to come to retreat, the rent is cheap, and there are canteens and event venues. Do you think it meets our needs?
More importantly, there are two ways of 'sale' and 'gift'.Think about it, who would be a writer who can afford to buy a house in a place like Ping County?Who will Mr. He's donated house be given to? "

As soon as Liu Zhenyun reminded him, Chen Cun and Ma Yuan looked at each other and said, "You mean famous people?"

"That's right. There don't need to be many such famous and powerful senior writers. As long as a few people come and live here, do you think it will arouse the interest of some young writers? This is an opportunity to get in touch with the teachers!"

The two of them thought about it according to Liu Zhenyun's train of thought, and it was really the case.

Liu Zhenyun sighed: "Teacher He is really good! Not only is the writing level high, but he is also so smart in his work!"

Chen Cun and Ma Yuan also had this thought in their hearts, but they were even more curious about Liu Zhenyun.

If the two of them knew about Liu Zhenyun's other identity, they wouldn't be so surprised.

In 1978, Liu Zhenyun was admitted to the Chinese Department of Capital University as the No. [-] scholar in the college entrance examination of Nanhe Province.
