Reborn Bao Guowei, I really didn’t want to be a great writer!

Chapter 147 Master Bao Guowei is only seventeen years old?

Chang Kaishen was originally going to issue awards to Bao Guowei, especially for his contribution to the Hangzhou Plague.

They even wanted to issue him a medal to show the government's "emphasis" on such incidents.

But after watching his "Alive", Chang Kaishen changed his mind.

"This damn Bao Guowei, I thought he was different from other literati, but now I think he is the same as his master Zhang Taiyan, damn it!"

Chang Kaishen threw the "Novel Monthly" on the ground. In his opinion, such novels were biased, and such novels and stories would only cause trouble for his rule.

After a cursory scan, in addition to the tragic story description of the protagonist Fugui, there is also a criticism of the historical background.

Under the corrupt feudal rule of the Qing Dynasty, the poor people couldn't bear it and shouted this sentence.

"Manchu Qing Dynasty, Manchu Qing Dynasty, Manchuria must be overthrown!"

Such a roar.

There are also various criticisms of the current situation, horse bandits, and military rebellion, as well as ruthless disclosures of feudal landlords and comprador capital.

Regarding the criticism of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Chang Kaishen was happy to see it as nothing more than a corpse of the times.

When Mr. Sun was in the government, he even offered sacrifices to Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, demonstrating his criticism of the Manchus.

There is nothing wrong with horse bandits and military chaos.

But these wealthy landlords still have comprador capital, which is their root!

This guy Bao Guowei is digging into his roots. How can you endure this?

How is this different from those Bolsheviks?

Chang Kaishen was furious, he slapped the table and said.

"Caught! Catch this guy immediately!"

Chen Xuen lowered his head slightly, and then spoke word for word.

"I'm afraid it won't work. First of all, Bao Guowei has made great contributions to the prevention and control of the plague. He is quite prestigious among the people. His influence spreads all over the film industry, music industry, and literature industry. Even many students are his fans, and many celebrities and masters are his. supporters.”

He took a breath and seemed to have many reasons, but he only mentioned them briefly.

"Besides, although this novel only has more than 10,000 words, it is highly sought after by literati from all walks of life. Not only the Red Sect, but even some foreigners speak highly of it."

"Some people say..." Chen Xun'en paused, observed Chang Kaishen's expression, and then continued.

"Bao Guowei can win China's first Nobel Prize in Literature!"

"What?" Chang Kaishen's pupils shrank. He naturally paid attention to the evaluations of foreigners.

If Bao Guowei is very famous among foreigners, his works are also quite popular internationally.

Then wouldn't it be contrary to him to punish Bao Guowei?

If he only has considerable influence in one field, Chang Kaishen can still suppress it with an iron fist.

He had always done this before, and he had never seen a parade before?

But what if there is an explosion of powerful people in various fields, as well as students and ordinary people?

Chang Kaishen took a deep breath, and now he felt that he was not so angry anymore.

For a moment, I felt a little emotional.

Bao Guowei.

This guy has actually reached this point?

Chang Kaishen took a sip of the green tea on the table and gradually calmed down, then thought of something.

Asked Chen Xun'en.

"How old is this Bao Guowei now?"

The latter thought for a while and replied.

"He is now a sophomore in high school and should have just turned seventeen this year!"

"Sigh~"

Chang Kaishen took a deep breath and felt a little emotional for a moment.

He said looking out the window.

"It would be great if this person could be of use to me."

As soon as Chen Xun'en raised his eyes, the principal seemed to want to recruit this Bao Guowei?

This is not surprising, the principal is also a person who cherishes talents.

he asked immediately.

"Then what should we do with the novel "Alive"?"

Chang Kaishen thought for a while and tapped his cup on the table.

Then he said with a cold expression on his face.

"One code is the same. "Alive" is banned first. All content must be deleted before it can be republished!"

Bao Guowei's book became popular.

This time it was not limited to the southern Zhijiang Province, but also reached the Jinmen area of ​​​​Beiping and the Lingnan area. Bao Guowei's work was released and became the headline.

Because of his previous volunteer activities and the conflict in Hangzhou, his reputation has already been damaged.

Several more masterpieces are brewing, and now the name Bao Guowei represents the sales volume of the newspaper.

The media in various places even started to promote Bao Guowei spontaneously without the help of others.

The work "Alive" is being discussed everywhere in teahouses, restaurants and even on the streets.

Even the illiterate people from the lower classes came to join in the fun.

The most important reason is that Bao Guowei learned from his previous creative experience and did not use gorgeous words as the standard for the text of "Alive".

Instead, it is as straight as possible, close to the living language habits of the lower class people, and a lot of slang and dialects from the market are added.

Many people became more understanding and pertinent when they heard what others said, and the common people even applauded the criticisms against the gentlemen.

Jinmen City.

The teahouse culture here has always been strong. Since the Qing Dynasty, the most important place for opera performances has been in the tea gardens.

Subsequently, it evolved into various forms such as storytelling, cross talk, and drumming, and became an important entertainment and social place for people in Jinmen City after dinner.

Rich men naturally go to the famous tea gardens in Socks Alley, Beikou Road, and Jinhua Bridge.

Ordinary people can't go there, but they can order a few side dishes and listen to a few stories and cross talk in an ordinary restaurant.

Of course, the reward is indispensable.

Today, the Qingyuan Teahouse is overcrowded. Today there is a gentleman storyteller, who is talking about Bao Guowei's new work.

"Alive"

On the table, a middle-aged man wearing a melon hat said.

"After work today, you can come and have some fun, did you hear? There is even an ancestral hall for Mr. Bao in Hangzhou!"

Another man wearing a long gown said: "According to me, this gentleman should have built a living shrine and wrote articles such as the story of epidemic prevention and control. There is still one alive today, especially for saving thousands of people in Hangzhou." Thousands of people, these were saint-like existences in ancient times."

Folks always like to exaggerate, especially when chatting. They will not give up until they are dumbfounded.

A man at the opposite table turned to him and said, "I heard that Mr. Bao is still a high school student?"

The middle-aged man in the melon-skin hat shook his head repeatedly and said seriously.

"How is this possible? You are misunderstood. The version I heard is that Bao Guowei is a fellow disciple of a certain master in the south. He has been out of the army for many years, but he just can't stand this dirty world!"

"Is that so?"

"Hey! Don't say any more. Look, the storyteller is coming!" As soon as he finished speaking, an old man in a long gown walked onto the stage amidst the sound of gongs and drums.

He slowly opened a hand-written book and spoke in a high voice.

"Dear readers, listen carefully to the explanation. Today I will continue to tell you about "To Live" written by Mr. Bao Guowei, a literary master of the generation."

"Everyone should have heard some of it last time, but there may be some new listeners that haven't heard of it. Let me introduce it here."

"This story tells the story of the down-and-out landlord young master Fugui in a village in Zhijiang."

"Last time we talked about Master Fugui meeting a horse bandit, what a good guy."

"To Live" is being read across the country, and in Shanghai, a vigorous ban has been launched.

The leader is the current member of the Shanghai Municipal Government and the head of the scientific and educational organization.

Chen Dezheng.

This man is also a strange man.

Historically, as soon as a new official takes power, he takes office with three arrogances, causing a stir in the sky and the earth.

He implemented Chang Kaishen's orders and violently suppressed, scolded and arrested new-school literati such as Hu Shizhi and Xu Zhimo.

He even forced Brother Xun to flee to the concession.

But he is also an extremely anti-Japanese celebrity, and his anti-Japanese works are no less than those of Brother Xun.

But he was also very capable of causing trouble when he was in charge of the newspaper.

On a whim, he launched a "public opinion poll" to elect the "number one idol in the minds of the Chinese people" today.

It didn't matter if he didn't choose. He was chosen first in the first choice, and Chang Kaishen was still behind, finishing second.

How could Chang Kaishen tolerate such a violent temper?

He was immediately escorted to Jinling, where he stayed in prison for several months and was ordered to "never be used again", which was extremely dramatic.

But at this moment, this matter has not happened yet, and Chen Dezheng still holds the power.

"Put the books away from me! In addition to "Alive", there are several other books recorded in the book. Confiscate them all!"

Chen Dezheng kicked the door of Crescent Bookstore and waved his hand. A group of men in uniforms rushed into the bookstore and began to open randomly. All the customers in the store fled and several cabinets were pushed down. .

They all held sacks in their hands, and when they saw any relevant books, they put them all into sacks, like a group of robbers.

"You guys! Stop it! Why do you ban "Alive"? These are all gentlemen's favorites. There are other books that you can't take away. What evidence do you have?"

Dai Wangshu happened to be in the bookstore today. He saw the wolf-like government troops, all kinds of books being destroyed at will, and his heart felt like a knife.

Scholars in this era sometimes regard books as more important than their lives.

Fortunately, his friend Shi Zhecun kept stopping him, so he didn't have any conflicts with these people.

Chen Dezheng is thin, has a sunken face, and wears a pair of black-rimmed eyes.

With a proud look on his face, he placed a piece of paper with a red seal in front of him.

"This is a banned book sent from Jinling. Let me tell you, not only the books here must be banned, but also the entire Shanghai City and even other places, all "Alive" and the books on the list must be banned without negotiation!"

Seeing the furious Dai Wangshu, he twitched his lips, looked for a pile of books, and sat firmly under his butt.

Since then, the national government has launched an investigation into "Alive" and issued a notice warning Bao Guowei to be cautious in his words and deeds in the future.

"Alive" can be published, but it can only be re-released after the content has been deleted and reviewed.

But Bao Guowei's attitude towards this is.

"Fuck you!!!"

If it is deleted, can life still be alive? He refused to die and even told Chang Kaishen to come and arrest him.

Bao Guowei naturally guessed that Chang Kaishen did not dare to touch him because the other party was not a wanton northwest warlord.

Although Chang Kaishen has a bald head, he has brains.

Today, Bao Guowei is like a hedgehog. If he bites one, his mouth will be filled with thorns.

In a sense, Bao Guowei is even more difficult to move than Zhang Taiyan.

Because this person is very popular with the people.

As expected, the investigation into Bao Guowei was brought to an end. The National Games were about to take place, so Hangzhou could not cause any more big troubles.

But the ban on "Alive" will not stop for a moment.

Chang Kaishen ordered all existing versions to be confiscated, and even teahouses and taverns could not disseminate it.

He thought there would be some backlash, just like when other books were banned before, but he was able to suppress it soon.

But as the suppression continued, the cavalry below, like Chen Dezheng, even broke their legs.

Why is this "Alive" still spreading?

After collecting the old ones, new ones came out. Especially the student groups in Shanghai also established special underground copying societies and underground ink printing factories.

Every day, workers and students would mimeograph new chapters and distribute them all over the streets.

At that time, everyone would secretly keep these mimeographed chapters and exchange them with others for private viewing.

What's even more outrageous is that because of the ban by the government, the influence of the book "Alive" has a tendency to expand.

Some ordinary people who didn't know this book became curious after hearing about the vigorous ban incident.

Chang Kaishen wants to ban this book. It must be very awesome, right?

Then I have to take a look!

Even some Bolshevik books that were originally banned have opened sales channels among the people.

Naturally, some of them came from the west of the country, with the help of insightful people.

This phenomenal event also became an essential part of people's conversations at that time.

Many students in later generations were studying literature and history.

"Literary event alive!"

This historical event is also a chapter that must be studied!

Many classic quotations in his works also influenced the way of speaking of many literati at that time.

Of course, it is impossible for foreigners not to notice such a large battle.

Shanghai Stock Exchange.

The spring rain continued in late March, and the streets in the public concession were muddy and slippery, with few pedestrians.

Occasionally, some desperate rickshaw drivers were still running hard, forming a sharp contrast with the black Ford Model A cars passing by.

The car stopped at the entrance of a small courtyard, and a European and American white man with a nose that covered one-third of his face and deep eyebrows stepped out of the car.

He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, a gentleman's hat on his head, and held a civilized stick in his hand. He said to the young man in a long gown holding an umbrella for him.

"Is this Lin's house?"

He was not very fluent in Chinese, but the young man still understood, he nodded and said.

"Yes, Mr. Maitland, it is the Chinese writer who translated "Reply", Mr. Lin Yutang."

Maitland nodded and said.

"Knock on the door, and you must visit Lin this time. The poem "Answer" is so wonderful that it has been sought after by many literary writers in Europe."

"Today, I must know the contact information of the author Bao and pay a good visit to this master!"

　I was rejected again and was speechless.
