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

Chapter 157 Bingwen! Being a teacher will make you shine!

Li Shutong.

He was a famous musician in the Republic of China, and the poems in the masterpiece "Farewell" were written by him.

Pu Shu once commented on Li Shutong's song.

"If I can write lyrics like "Farewell" in my life, I will die without regrets."

This shows the depth of its influence.

Bao Guowei was introduced by Zhang Taiyan, and finally met this legendary figure.

There are no stars shining, no Buddha light shining everywhere.

He only saw an ordinary old monk with a kind face and kind eyes.

He is about in his early fifties, with a black and white beard on his lips and chin, but it does not look messy, but instead highlights his unique Zen master temperament.

His eyebrows were thick, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes spread like the roots of an old tree.

Bao Guowei said with a smile.

"Hello, Master Hongyi. My surname is Bao and my courtesy name is Bingwen."

Twelve years ago, Li Shutong became a monk at Hupao Temple in Hangzhou, and has since then been given the title of Master Hongyi.

Li Shutong bowed slightly, without any airs of elders, but with a gentle and gentle tone.

"Bingwen is young and romantic, and he is indeed a young talent who can write "Answer" and "A Generation"."

Hearing the other party's praise, Zhang Taiyan was very pleased and said while stroking his beard.

"Bingwen, you need to have a good chat with Master Hongyi. In order to attend this banquet, he took a different route from the road to Lucheng and came here. The journey was quite bumpy!"

Behind Li Shutong, stood two young men, wearing black mandarin jackets with a white bottom. They seemed to be Li Shutong's disciples.

One of the disciples named Qing Chen said to everyone with a smile.

"Hehe, when Master came, he was still reading Brother Bingwen's book "Alive" on the way. When he was fascinated by it, he kept cheering!"

Someone around immediately responded and said: "I read the book "Alive" which is also very good. I have read it over and over several times, and it pokes my heart every time!"

"I don't dare to watch it, it's so tragic! Every time the protagonist Fugui encounters misfortune, I want to die. But when I feel the meaning of living, I tell myself that only by living can there be hope. This Come and go, it can be said that the reader's psychology is clearly grasped."

Hearing the comments from the people around him, Li Shutong smiled and shook his head. He was not restrained.

"Bingwen, your novel is very interesting. Can you come and discuss it with me at the banquet? I also have a lot to ask about those two poems."

This was a bit abrupt, but Li Shutong felt comfortable saying it, like a kind and kind old man.

Li Shutong can be said to be an all-rounder.

He is almost extremely proficient in the field of art, involving literature, music, calligraphy and painting, poetry, music, drama and many other aspects.

He is even one of the founders of domestic drama.

Others call him a master of Yiyi, perhaps as a courtesy, but Li Shutong is respectfully called a master of Yiyi Hongyi, which is the real deal!

After glancing at Zhang Taiyan, the latter nodded and said.

"Bingwen, it would be great to chat with Master Hongyi. You will definitely gain something from the exchange."

But he looked at the other people in the field and continued.

"However, you should first get to know all the guests with me, right?"

The dinner was held in Zhang Taiyan's courtyard, and the guests talking to each other in twos and threes.

Since it was a dinner hosted by Zhang Taiyan, the guests were all well-known figures in the literary world.

Following his pace, Bao Guowei recognized the past one by one.

During the back and forth, Bao Guowei realized that Lao Zhang was interested in introducing his connections to him.

As the celebrities exchanged drinks and exchanged greetings, from time to time they would meet some familiar faces, as well as names that Bao Guowei would hear from later generations.

For example, Cai Chunshou and Tang Boning were among them, and Bao Guowei even met Chu Huiseng.

Tonight's lineup is extremely lively.

But Bao Guowei saw another man.

"Editor-in-Chief Zhao Xinchen?"

Bao Guowei glanced at him in surprise, not expecting that the other party would also come to the banquet.

Zhao Xinchen, with a ruddy complexion and holding a small wine glass, explained with a smile.

"Bingwen, you don't know, right? Mr. Taiyan once participated in the inauguration ceremony of the Red Magazine Club, so he has some connections with our club."

"Bingwen, you two actually know each other?"

Zhang Taiyan looked at Bao Guowei with some suspicion, how many things do I don't know about this kid?

Zhao Xinchen chuckled, patted Bao Guowei on the shoulder and said, "Don't you know, Mr. Taiyan? Bingwen is doing a great job in our magazine now. He not only saved our magazine's life, but also published a series of woo woo woo !”

Before he could finish speaking, Bao Guowei immediately covered his mouth. Bao Guowei glared at him and put his fingers on his ribs. His meaning was obvious.

Afterwards, Bao Guowei smiled at Zhang Taiyan and said: "Ah hahaha, I am going to publish "Alive". I asked Mr. Zhao to help me publish this novel."

There is obviously a loophole in this statement. Fortunately, Zhang Taiyan was just a little strange and didn't care about anything.

Zhang Taiyan has always maintained a critical attitude towards such "deviant" popular novels as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Bao Guowei was even strictly prohibited from writing. In his words, this novel was called.

"Don't waste your time on useless pastimes."

If he found out, there would be a burst of criticism and nagging. People tend to nag when they get older, and Zhang Taiyan is the same now.

Every time he encountered the other party's nagging, Bao Guowei had a headache and felt that his head was about to explode.

Fortunately, Zhang Taiyan did not mention the matter next, so Bao Guowei felt that he had been deceived.

During this period, there were many maverick celebrities, and Huang Kan was one of them.

He had combed hair high, a pair of round-rimmed glasses, and heavy dark circles under his eyes. He looked like he often stayed up late.

"Junior Brother Bingwen, I got in earlier than you. You have to call me Senior Brother!"

Huang Kan patted Bao Guowei on the shoulder and laughed heartily.

But Bao Guowei always felt that the other party seemed a little out of tune.

It's no wonder that Zhang Taiyan is called "Crazy Zhang", while Huang Kan is also very individual and hates evil, so he is called "Crazy Madman Huang". He is called "Little Madman" because he studied under Zhang Taiyan.

Seeing Huang Kan, Zhang Taiyan breathed out of his nose, obviously very dissatisfied with this apprentice.

People are afraid of comparison. Huang Kan was good in the past, but now he is compared with Bao Guowei.

The same Zhang Yang, why is the gap between people so big?

Zhang Taiyan pointed at Huang Kan unceremoniously and lectured him.

"Hmph, Bingwen can't imitate your senior brother. His straightforward and silent temper has offended many people.

The last time Ma Yinchu asked him about "Shuowen Jiezi", he told others, "You'd better do economics. It's not easy in elementary school, and you don't understand it even if you explain it." It's so unreasonable and shameful! "

Huang Kan's face turned red and he immediately became unhappy. He frowned and said, "Master, I don't want you to do this. I just met my junior brother, so you're going to make me look embarrassed."

He muttered another sentence, which seemed to say: "Isn't it the same for you?" "You traitor, you have rebelled against heaven!"

Zhang Taiyan was so angry that he disciplined him again, and Bao Guowei could only stop him.

He shook his head helplessly at these two living treasures.

Chen Songluo once served as the president of the Federation of Students in Hangzhou. Bao Guowei met him once at the Cultural Association last time and said hello again this time.

There is one person who is special. She is a woman with sharp features and power in her eyes. She has crisp short hair that is spread out. She is the most typical woman in the new era of the Republic of China.

Luyin.

Later generations will call her, Bing Xin and Lin Huiyin, the three most talented women in Rongcheng. From this, we can know how powerful she is.

I don't know why, but Lu Yin seemed to be very indifferent to him. He just nodded slightly and said politely.

"I heard that Mr. Bingwen is very talented, so we must experience it at this banquet."

There is something neither yin nor yang in the words.

Although it was strange, Bao Guowei didn't pay attention. He nodded roughly and passed by.

Of course, it's not just Luyin. It's impossible for everyone to like Bao Guowei. There are always some people in the literary world who have some opinions about Bao Guowei.

Later, there were also some people who, although they were good friends with Zhang Taiyan, had no feelings for Bao Guowei.

"Bao Bingwen? I haven't read your article."

"Brother Binglin has many students, but I think Zhou Shuren is the most outstanding."

"Bingwen can get mixed reviews outside, so we should pay attention to it in the future."

Zhang Taiyan could not comment on this due to his status as an old friend, but he knew in his heart that these old friends actually did not agree with Bao Guowei.

He comforted Bao Guowei slightly.

But Bao Guowei didn't have any anger or resentment.

There are many people who don't like you in the world, but it's impossible to win the love of everyone. How tiring would that be?

Later, after listening to Zhang Taiyan's introduction, Bao Guowei realized that this woman whose pen name was Lu Yin was a very strong pessimist.

Perhaps it was because of Bao Guowei’s many previous speeches and the spirit of his works.

As for others, there are always other reasons.

Then Bao Guowei followed Zhang Taiyan back to the table.

At this moment, Li Shutong was already sitting in it. Seeing Bao Guowei sitting next to him, he said with a smile on his face.

"It seems that Bingwen encountered something unpleasant?"

Knowing that the other party saw the indifference towards him in Lu Yin and others, Bao Guowei thought for a moment and then explained.

"It's just a small episode. Let the world slander me, bully me, laugh at me, belittle me, and lie to me, but I will remain unmoved."

Li Shutong, who was sitting upright, was a little surprised. He had learned about Bao Guowei's many deeds before coming here.

From the speech and words, Li Shutong felt that the other party must be a flamboyant and high-spirited young man.

Such people are very motivated in everything they do, but occasionally they cannot stand the "contempt" of others, and thus lose the overall situation.

But Bao Guowei actually said this, which surprised Li Shutong, and he said with emotion.

"This article "Han Shan Shi De Wen Qi Lu" is quite appropriate."

As an eminent monk, Li Shutong knew the source of what Bao Guowei said.

This antiphon is a legend in the history of Buddhism.

The two masters Hanshan and Shide in the Dualu are said to be the incarnations of Manjushri and Samantabhadra.

Li Shutong nodded and said: "Treat others with tolerance and conduct yourself with calmness. This is the philosophy of life."

"Now I understand why you were able to write "To Live", an avant-garde novel with great irony, and convey the great meaning of the pursuit of the power of life."

Hearing Li Shutong's praise, everyone at the table looked at him one after another. When talking about this, everyone had their own murmurs.

After all, the article "Alive" shocked the entire literary world as soon as it was published.

Bao Guowei also has a simple and introspective character. As a member of the literary world, everyone has various problems.

Zhang Taiyan took this opportunity and decided to add fuel to the fire.

He smiled and said: "To Bingwen, you are all seniors in the literary world. This banquet is just to let the villain get to know all the gentlemen."

Naturally, he still had something left unsaid, which was also a farewell ceremony for his friends in Hangzhou.

It was also the moment when Bao Guowei was completely recognized by the literary world!

As soon as these words came out, some people couldn't sit still. Huang Kan was the first to stand up and speak.

"Bingwen, senior brother, I have always had a question I want to ask."

"When the novel "Alive" was written, were there any influences from foreign works?

Or are there any famous works for reference? It’s really surprising that you, Bingwen, can write such sophisticated articles at such a young age! "

Huang Kan may have been unintentional, but these words unexpectedly ignited the atmosphere in the venue.

Lu Yin seems to have a temperament that dares to speak and act, and he behaves the same way, she commented.

"Mr. Bingwen, maybe he is referring to the Russian Leo Tolstoy's "Resurrection". I think the main theme of it is also very appropriate!"

"Hey, there's no need to say that. Talking about life is a matter of Chinese origin. How is it similar to resurrection?"

Someone else said.

"Nephew Bingwen, there is no need to worry. This is something that often happens. In today's literary world, where are we not referring to foreign trends of thought?"

Zhao Xinchen also said with some emotion: "Our roots are still with foreigners, and translating works is one of the important means to absorb nutrients."

Someone else said: "It is what students should be good at. If they fall behind, they should study hard."

Zhang Taiyan frowned slightly. He advocated exploring traditional culture and regarded Chinese culture as his core. If he had heard these words before, he would have jumped up to curse and argue.

But now he has restrained his temper a lot, and there are also close friends in the venue, who can talk to the point.

Just treat it as a literary exchange.

He looked at Bao Guowei, expecting to hear some "new" understanding from this apprentice.

Because according to past habits, this boy will never let go of the opportunity to be in the limelight.

In the past, Zhang Taiyan always wanted to stop the other party, but this time he really wanted to let Bao Guowei shine.

If there are problems, there will inevitably be frictions, and he expected this.

And only friction can make everyone present recognize the existence of a young genius like Bao Guowei!

"Bingwen, all the seniors have asked questions, please answer them."

Zhang Taiyan said with a smile on his face.

Now, he has great confidence in this disciple!
