A widower's entertainment

Chapter 270 [Heart Shock] (Subscribe)
Beijing, January 1989, 1.

The latest issue of "People's Literature" was published. Because of the rumor in the Beijing literary circle about Lin Youcheng's latest novel, many literary workers in the Beijing literary circle rushed to buy the latest issue of "People's Literature" as soon as possible.

"I don't know yet whether this issue of People's Literature magazine will be available at this time."

"Are you so anxious?"

"Aren't you anxious? I know everyone is waiting to read Lin Youcheng's latest spy novel. They all say it's extremely exciting!"

"I have also heard about this from my wife. She works in a publishing house. Now their publishing house wants to directly publish Lin Youcheng's novel."

"This magazine just published and they want to publish it. It turns out that Lin Youcheng's novels are really good!"

"Stop talking, go check the newsstand. If it's not there, I plan to go to the bookstore."

Two young comrades who had just got off work rushed to the newsstand because of Lin Youcheng's new novel in People's Literature.

Just when the two young comrades rushed to the newsstand to buy the latest issue of "People's Literature", they were told that it was out of stock.

The key point is that many people at the newsstand want to buy the latest issue of "People's Literature" magazine.

"It's really gone. The last one was bought by that female comrade just now."

Obviously, the words of the newsstand owner disappointed everyone who had come. Some of them glanced at the lesbian who bought the last magazine and quickly chased after her, as if they wanted to discuss things with her, but it seemed that their wish did not come true.

There were naturally other people at the newsstand. Seeing that many people wanted to buy the latest issue of "People's Literature" magazine, they were naturally a little confused and wanted to know the reason.

"The latest issue of People's Literature magazine published Lin Youcheng's latest novel."

Obviously, this statement naturally let other people who were not in the literary circle know that Lin Youcheng had published a new novel. Naturally, everyone was very surprised, and immediately wanted to read Lin Youcheng's latest novel.

No matter what the literary circle thinks of Lin Youcheng's novels, the people have always loved and admired every work of Lin Youcheng.

Because as Lin Youcheng said, he wrote people's literature for the masses, so naturally it will be sought after by the masses.

Now that Lin Youcheng has written a new novel, the people are naturally more looking forward to and excited about it than those literary workers.

"Hurry up, let's go to the bookstore and see what novel Lin Youcheng has written this time. I especially like his last novel, 'The Untouchable Lover'."

"Me too. Let's go to another newsstand."

"Don't look at it. Since it's not here, let's go somewhere else and see if there's the latest issue of People's Literature."

……

Such conversations took place at different newsstands. It can be said that at the same time, Lin Youcheng's newly published novel had already surprised all the literature lovers in the capital.

But the more surprising thing is yet to come.

It can be said that on the same day, Lin Youcheng's novel "The Lurker" which appeared in "People's Literature" really shocked everyone who had read it. No one had expected that Lin Youcheng, a writer who was good at writing about love, would bring such an amazing spy story after his previous work "The Unreachable Lovers".

It’s really amazing!

What’s amazing is that this novel not only contains spy wars, but also love, which is what Lin Youcheng is best at. The two are perfectly combined, bringing tears to the eyes of countless readers who read this novel.

Because Lin Youcheng wrote this spy story full of twists and turns between revolution and love so brilliantly!

In Lin Youcheng's "The Hidden", the people and things there really seem to have existed in reality.

The world is ever-changing, eternity cannot resist the moment, and human hearts are even more so. Now, with Lin Youcheng's "The Hidden Corner", readers have entered that revolutionary era. Although it is different from the grim "The Sound of the Wind", it is still full of blood.

In that revolutionary era, there would really be comrades talking about faith, even if it was a faith that affected different parties. It was a matter of life and death. But in that atmosphere, readers could truly feel the flower blooming in human nature.

Everyone saw that Zuo Lan, a woman with revolutionary enthusiasm, protected Cuiping's safety with a smile at the end of her death. What was even more touching was that when Cuiping learned that Zuo Lan and Yu Zecheng were lovers, she was not jealous or anything else, but regretful that Zuo Lan did not tell her before she died, telling her that Yu Zecheng was actually pregnant with her and hoped that she could leave in peace.

This simple sentence made countless readers heartbroken, but what was even more inspiring was that Yu Zecheng was reading "Serve the People" after Zuo Lan's death. This is a plot that really touches people's hearts.
Cuiping and Zuo Lan in the story are so real. Cuiping's kindness and appreciation for Zuo Lan, her inner simplicity and kindness, she has never been a petty woman, but has a big picture.

As an uneducated, illiterate, and rude woman born in the mountains, she became the leader of a guerrilla team of more than 20 brothers with her sharpshooting skills. Yu Zecheng described Cuiping as a natural warrior, and her temperament changed after she took up the gun. She had a firm revolutionary belief and the courage to sacrifice.

However, such a natural frontline fighter was sent to the rear by mistake and forced to become a wife. She came to the city with the confidence of a guerrilla leader. The revolutionary work went from fighting with real swords and guns to hiding and playing hide-and-seek with death. Although she made some mistakes, she never stopped learning, from numbers to reading. Not long after she came to the city, she successfully used mahjong to pass messages, deal with all kinds of people, open up Yu Zecheng's interpersonal relationships, and later became Yu Zecheng's right-hand man.

From her work, she has made rapid progress and is a very smart person. At the same time, she is loving in interpersonal relationships. She has a revolutionary comradeship with Zuo Lan. After Zuo Lan's death, she blamed herself for wasting her time and cursed him for not knowing that she and Yu Zecheng were fake before she died. She also has a true friendship with the stationmaster's wife. However, it is precisely this sincerity that makes her character essentially unsuitable for undercover work. But even if Cui Ping is not as perfect as Zuo Lan, she is a rich and charming female character.

It can be said that every character in Lin Youcheng's novel "The Lurker", regardless of whether it is the protagonist or the supporting role, has different personalities, is vivid and extremely real.

Xie Ruolin and the stationmaster are of the same kind. Of course, Xie Ruolin is much lower than Wu Jingzhong, but they believe in the same truth: if a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. In their eyes, only interests are supreme. Yu Zecheng and Li Ya are of the same kind. They have ideals and ambitions. Although they belong to different camps, they work hard for their respective beliefs, run around, and are ready to sacrifice their lives at any time. They are all pure. And the stationmaster's wife, because of Cuiping's company, she has grown true love for her and exchanged true love for her. She would ask Cuiping about her health with concern, and keep Cuiping close to any good things. At the same time, she also sincerely taught Cuiping the way of being a wife and the way of survival.

There are also the clumsy Ma Kui, the smiling tiger Lu Qiaoshan, and the sincere Liao Sanmin...

Every character is worthy of careful analysis.

Amazing, it really is amazingly true!

No one expected that Lin Youcheng would bring such a realistic and lifelike cruel spy novel.

Yes, it is cruel, really cruel. For the sake of ideals and beliefs, one has to hide one's identity, use a fake identity, and perform fake plays.

He is Mount Emei, the deep sea, Engineer Yu, Director Yu, and Deputy Station Chief Yu, but he cannot be just Yu Zecheng himself.

The colors outlined in the text are so dark, restrained, and calm, and Cuiping is the only bright color in Yu Zecheng's life. On the day when he asked her to leave, she went out reluctantly and resolutely. He suddenly realized and went to confirm her last back in disbelief. On the night when he thought she had died, he paced around the house, made the bed, put away the slippers, and paralyzed himself to create a false impression that she was still there.

Whenever someone around him dies, Yu Zecheng always thinks about the value of his own life, which brings him greater sorrow.

He told himself, you are a martyr, you have to accept these tortures, these tortures are the price of your ideals, you have to accept them until death.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

After reading this novel, I saw Yu Zecheng crying on the other side of the strait at the end. He never knew that Cuiping's real name was Chen Taohua.

Such a story and such an ending moved every reader to tears and were deeply shocked.

The realistic white-drawing technique combines romantic idealism with realism, and also perfectly weaves revolution and love together, striking strongly in the hearts of every reader. Every heart is deeply touched by Lin Youcheng's touching story.

The huge impact makes everyone who has read the story rushed into the world of faith, seeing the pure faith and sad and regretful love of the revolutionary predecessors.

Even though the ending is sad, it is good to have such an ending. Because such an ending is the real history, and it truly points out a very cruel reality. The hardships faced in realizing lofty ideals come not only from the enemy, but also from the so-called own people.

Contradictions will always exist. When you solve one, the next one will appear.

However, the misunderstanding and fighting from peers are more hurtful.

Also, who has ever guaranteed that following one's beliefs will definitely lead to success and fame, and that one will definitely obtain worldly happiness, that is, to live a peaceful life with loved ones and relatives? Aren't the sacrificed Zuo Lan and Liao Sanmin even more tragic? After all, they lost their lives. Just because Yu Zecheng and Cui Ping are the male and female protagonists, it doesn't mean that we want these two male and female protagonists to be happy.

Obviously, the grimness of the ending is more impactful at this moment.

Of course, if you can bear it, this ending is very gentle, because this story has taken deep root in your heart and grown.

Not to mention literature lovers, even those working in the literary circle were greatly shocked by Lin Youcheng's novel.

Because it is truly an unprecedented spy novel.

It is at this time that literary workers who have read Lin Youcheng’s latest work "The Hidden" will understand why the brilliance of this novel was already being spread before the novel was published, and why it can be said to be the pinnacle of spy novels.

Because unlike readers who are moved by the story, literary workers are able to see what the pure belief in "The Disguiser" means. Some of them even think that Lin Youcheng's "The Disguiser" transcends the "spy war" type of literary works.

Ba Lao, the editor-in-chief of Harvest magazine in Shanghai, was really shocked by Lin Youcheng's novel "The Hidden". With red eyes, he looked at his colleagues in the editorial department and said excitedly: "Lin Youcheng's novel "The Hidden" has surpassed the genre of "spy war", breaking free from the restraint of the genre and entering a broader world, transforming into an allegory of the Chinese revolution. It has a profound temperament and is shocking."

Colleagues in the editorial department also nodded in agreement. As literary workers, they can better understand the literary significance of "The Hidden". You must know that due to the limitations of "spy warfare", the context of "The Hidden" mostly profiles the revolution and cannot give a detailed account of the revolution.

In other words, the novel cannot explain the nature of "revolution" in a straightforward manner - the awakening of the masses, breaking free from the constraints of existing social relations, centralized planning to break through the net, and liberating themselves, but Lin Youcheng used "The Hidden" to write a story about the true awakening of a revolutionary.

"I didn't expect that Lin Youcheng would start the novel "The Hidden" with the romantic love story of Yu Zecheng and Zuo Lan. It's really wonderful! This novel has achieved the original meaning of revolution under the theme of spy war, giving meaning to revolutionaries, and using the surging emotions and surging cognition to make a leap in cognition, and then adjusting the operation of practice with the leap in cognition."

"It was Zuo Lan who told Yu Zecheng that our comrades should see the achievements, see the light, and strengthen our courage in difficult times. The people are suffering, and we have the responsibility to save them. We must work hard. If we want to fight, there will be sacrifices, and death is a common occurrence. But we think of the interests of the people and the suffering of the majority of the people. If we die for the people, it is a worthy death."

When he said these words, Ba Lao's voice was excited, tears welled up in his eyes, and finally he couldn't hold back his tears.

Ba Lao was so moved that he shed tears, for the ending of the story and for the comrades who sacrificed their lives.

……

Obviously, both literary workers and readers from the general public were deeply touched by Lin Youcheng's "The Hidden Corner".

Overnight, literally overnight, the novel "Insidious" became extremely popular.

It can be said that before this cold winter has passed, Lin Youcheng's fiery novel "The Hidden" has really driven countless literature lovers crazy. Their hearts were struck and hot red blood began to flow from their hearts.
