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

Chapter 505: Xu Zhimo's reasoning technique? The birth of Bao's literature!

Friends from all sides sat down and a few of them started talking.

Liang Sicheng specifically mentioned Bao Guowei's speech at Peking University, but several people were very sensitive to political events and reminded Bao Guowei to be careful, and then did not mention it again.

This kind of question has too many impacts, and the eight people don't all know each other, so it would be better to talk about some interesting things.

The first to be affected was Xu Zhimo.

"Brother Qisen, are you still running around for your wife? Even I, an outsider, can't help but say a few words to you. You two were born into wealthy families, but no matter how wealthy you are, no matter how hard you work to make money, you can't afford her spending like this.

I heard that she not only had high standards in life, but was also keen on various high-end dances in Shanghai. She would book the best box when watching Peking Opera, and would spend a lot of money to reward famous actors when she met them.

The most inappropriate thing is the smoking of opium. Do you know how many people have had their bodies destroyed and their families ruined by opium?"

The person who spoke was Jin Yuelin. He was born into an official family, but had no interest in politics since childhood. He is now a professor of philosophy and logic at Tsinghua University.

He couldn't stand the behavior of the rich ladies in the south the most. When he heard that his good friend Xu Zhimo was exhausted because of Lu Xiaoman, he couldn't help but feel indignant.

"Brother Longsun." Xu Zhimo sighed and drank cup after cup of rice wine. Even though the other party's tone was not very good, he did not get angry, but just kept sighing.

"You don't understand me. When I married Xiaoman, I said I would treat her well. She does have some minor flaws, but maybe it's because I don't understand her well enough and I don't have enough time to accompany her.

If I had the talent of Bingwen, I could be a rich man and spend more time with her, and it wouldn't have come to this."

Bao Guowei could tell that Xu Zhimo was extremely envious of his royalties.

But he didn't even think about how many people in the country can get this kind of royalties nowadays?

Xu Zhimo was a bit of a scumbag, but he was still a love-brained man.

It turns out that people are complicated.

Jin Yuelin still looked disappointed. As a logician, he could not understand the logic behind Xu Zhimo's behavior.

From divorcing his ex-wife Zhang Youyi, to marrying Lu Xiaoman despite the world's criticism, and finally to indulging Lu Xiaoman until now.

In Jin Yuelin's eyes, everything Xu Zhimo did was not the optimal solution, but instead put himself in trouble.

He analyzed it carefully from the perspective of logic and philosophy.

"In my opinion, the pain started when you broke the marriage rules and had a wife.
You often use "true love" as an excuse, but it is based on hurting others, and the consequences will eventually backfire on you.
You said you were influenced by Western romanticism, but that’s not the case.”

Jin Yuelin's analysis was so logical that Bao Guowei's scalp tingled. Professionals are different. The double attack of philosophy and logic would probably make him red-hot if he were to be analyzed.

But in the face of his friend's accusations, Xu Zhimo did not get angry. Perhaps this was the way the two of them had always been getting along.

After a few drinks, he just kept complaining.

You can complain, but you absolutely cannot change.

Bao Guowei saw two people, one trying to persuade him and the other complaining, and he couldn't help feeling helpless.

He had long given up the idea of ​​persuading Xu Zhimo. He reaps what he sows. He abandoned his wife for Lu Xiaoman in the past, and he deserved the outcome today.

Bao Guowei looked at Jin Yuelin. This philosophy professor was an interesting person. It was said that he never married because of Lin Huiyin.

It is not known whether this conforms to the principles of logic and philosophy.

Suddenly, Bao Guowei discovered.

Now, among the five men in this room, three of them have admired Lin Huiyin, and one of them is already Lin Huiyin’s husband.

This shows how great Lin Huiyin's charm was in the Republic of China.

As they chatted, one of the women finally couldn't help but speak.

Xiao Hong suddenly interrupted and said, "Mr. Xisen, I didn't really support you marrying Lu Xiaoman. You two are really not from the same world. It's really wrong to abandon your wife. You are sowing the seeds of bitterness."

For a while, all his friends criticized him, which made Xu Zhimo a little unbearable. He waved his hands and said.

"Xiu Huan, please stop slandering me. I'm really in a difficult position now that I'm told by you guys."

Xu Zhimo looked at the silent Bao Guowei with a pleading look, trying to seek his help.

Noticing the other person's pitiful look, Bao Guowei couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

However, when mentioning Xiao Hong and Lu Yin, he couldn't help but think of some things in his mind.

So Bao Guowei changed the subject.

"I heard that Miss Xiao Hong is also getting married soon?"

Since they had just met, it was naturally inconvenient for him to call the other person by his name.

Xiao Hong was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Bao Guowei to ask her a question. Then she looked a little gloomy and nodded.

"It's embarrassing to say that this was a feudal arranged marriage arranged by my family. I wanted to resist, but in the end I had no choice but to compromise."

Bao Guowei nodded, pretending to be ignorant, and said with emotion.

“It seems that the feudal system has been eliminated nowadays, but the feudalism in people’s hearts still exists. I have seen countless people suffer misfortune in compromise.

Miss Xiao Hong, if you believe me, then listen to me and follow your own heart. In this glorious era, there is room for a woman who does not have to live for her family and husband."

Xiao Hong widened her eyes, not knowing why Bao Guowei said this.

But these words really touched her heart.

She nodded vigorously.

"Thank you, Mr. Bingwen. Xiao Hong will keep it in mind."

Xiao Hong was only 20 years old at the time, and as a student she met many academic masters in Peking, which was enough to show her literary talent.

Bao Guowei sighed inwardly, and naturally he began to cherish talent.

This Xiao Hong was later called "the literary goddess of Luo River in the Republic of China era".

However, his emotional life was full of ups and downs. He experienced many misfortunes such as arranged marriage, being abandoned by his lover, and being displaced.

According to Bao Guowei's impression, Xiao Hong's fiancé would come to her house soon, and the young Xiao Hong finally compromised with the arranged marriage.

But the fiancé did not cherish this relationship and allowed his family to cancel their engagement.

After living with Xiao Hong and she became pregnant, he ruthlessly abandoned her.

As a result, Xiao Hong was almost sent to a brothel to pay off her debts.

Xiao Hong had a rough life, especially in her emotional experiences.

Bao Guowei was powerless to change everyone's fate, but he only hoped that his suggestions could have some effect on Xiao Hong.

Talking too much about love life can make people feel uncomfortable.

Especially Lu Yin who was sitting next to him.

She is a woman of independent character.

However, she encountered many setbacks in her love life. Lu Yin refused the arranged marriage and married Guo Mengliang, who was already married.

This is also a mess, and it is difficult to tell right from wrong.

She didn't want to talk about her love life, so she turned her attention to literature, picking up the novel that Xiao Hong had just recited.

"Mr. Bingwen is not kind enough to even think of publishing such a masterpiece as No Longer Human in China."

Bao Guowei was stunned for a moment before he realized that the novel was actually "No Longer Human"!
After thinking about it, he understood what was going on.

A few days ago, after discovering that Zhang Xueliang had obtained the book, Bao Guowei immediately notified Lin Yutang in the south and asked him to help him spread the Chinese version of "No Longer Human".

But the message was only sent out for a short time and Beijing had already received it?

Is this spreading speed a bit too fast?

You know, the main way of information circulation in the Republic of China was still letters.

Telegraph is a luxurious means of communication that can basically only achieve full coverage between the north and the south with an official background.

If it is not spread deliberately, it is still too horrible to spread it by word of mouth. Because of the special nature of this work, Bao Guowei did not admit it directly, but asked with a smile.

"How do you know that I wrote it and it's not a forgery?"

"Isn't it written by Mr. Bingwen?"

Xiao Hong was stunned for a moment and looked at the book with some suspicion.

She is extremely fond of Bao Guowei's works and reads each of them carefully. After hearing about the circulation of this book, she excitedly brought it to the literary gathering for exchange.

But now that I have met the real owner, he actually said it was a fake.

Xiao Hong suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

In this era, fake works are rampant, and the government finds it difficult to supervise even normal works, let alone these underground fakes.

If they had this much time, the government would only think about confiscating more red books.

As for forgery, plagiarism and piracy, they are extremely rampant.

From time to time, there are reports of works by famous artists, and what is publicized are all masterpieces that the artists have not yet completed and are unwilling to publish.

But when you actually buy it, you'll find it's nothing more than a low-quality product cobbled together.

Bao Guowei was right in front of me, and I was reciting his fake work. It was really a bit...
Xiao Hong was panicked.

Xu Zhimo had already seen through the clues. He reached out and took the work, and after just flipping through two pages, he burst into laughter.

"You, you! Bao Bingwen, you are always bullying little girls. You are the only one in the world who can write such a work."

"Ah?" Xiao Hong was surprised. "How did Mr. Qi Sen know that?"

Xu Zhimo looked at Bao Guowei's half-smile and pointed at the film "No Longer Human".

“I haven’t read this work beforehand, but I know Bao Bingwen. At first glance, this work is thought-provoking and the story is rather gloomy, which makes people feel that they have lost hope in life.

In addition to the Oriental story background, there is also the Oriental people's narrative writing style.

It is easy for people to think that this is a forgery by a Japanese author.

But if you look closely, you can still see Bao's literary style hidden in this work.

Brother Bingwen, am I right?"

Xu Zhimo raised his eyebrows. He had been friends with Bao Guowei for a long time and was always amazed by this boy's works and actions.

Over time, I have figured out the other party's behavioral logic.

There is also the style of the text, which is difficult to change.

Bao Guowei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, letting the other party do what he wanted.

"So, what exactly is Mr. Bingwen's writing style, as Mr. Qisen mentioned?"

Listening to Xu Zhimo's boasting, Lu Yin also became interested. This was not the first time she had met Bao Guowei.

I once had a small argument with Bao Guowei at a gathering in the south.

There is no doubt that the young Lu Yin was completely defeated.

At first, she was still a little unconvinced, but after reading many of Bao Guowei's deeds, the resentment in her heart completely disappeared.

It’s not that they have lost the consciousness of struggle, but that the two sides are no longer on the same level.

Even Lu Yin was influenced by Bao Guowei's words and secretly explored another path, which undoubtedly greatly affected her worldview.

However, Lu Yin did not tell even her closest friends about her red heart, and her contacts with related organizations continued underground.

Under the influence of Bao Guowei, and his good reputation among the red community, Lu Yin is now very interested in Bao Guowei.

Now that I can see each other today, I naturally want to get to know each other better.

"Cough cough~"

Xu Zhimo cleared his throat. He had been scolded as soon as he entered the room. Now he finally had a chance to get back at them.

he said with a smile.

"Speaking of Bao Bingwen's literary style, I am afraid that no one in the world understands it more deeply than me, Xu Zhimo.

When Bingwen writes articles and novels, unlike ordinary authors, today's well-known writers are often influenced by the vernacular movement and make their writing style closer to vernacular.

But there is a problem. Many writers learned a lot of classical Chinese and wrote a lot in their early years. It would be a bit incongruous for them to switch to vernacular Chinese all of a sudden.

This is what makes Bao Bingwen different from these writers. I would like to call his vernacular writing the best in the country. No one in the literary world today can surpass him.”

puff~
Bao Guowei had a mouthful of rice wine in his mouth and almost spat it on Xu Zhimo's face, looking at him as if he were an idiot.

I couldn't help but complain in my heart.

If you have gone through nine years of compulsory education, you can speak vernacular as well as I do!

But after thinking about it, this seems to be one of my "flaws".

Finding it interesting, Bao Guowei did not stop Xu Zhimo and let him continue speaking.

Xu Zhimo became more and more proud as he spoke, and even put his hands on his hips.

"In addition, Bao Bingwen's articles are accustomed to using popular language to write a profound story, and he always brings unexpected twists and turns.
I think this is the case with the book "No Longer Human". Even though it is full of the flavor of Eastern culture, its core is still that of our Chinese culture.

Even though Bingwen has changed his style, the underlying writing logic is still his own!

You can't escape my eyes!"

Bao Guowei was speechless for a while. He suspected that the other party must have read too many foreign mystery novels, and he must have read a lot of "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes".

However, one has to admire Xu Zhimo's insight into words.

Almost everything he said was in line with the facts, and some of them were also the first time Bao Guowei realized them.

The girls were all a little surprised for a moment.

Lin Huiyin picked up "No Longer Human" on the table, frowned and read it carefully. She glanced through it roughly. Although she did not have as detailed an understanding as Xu Zhimo, she still felt that it made sense.

The other party must have gone through very careful research before being able to come up with this conclusion.

"So that's how it is." Xiao Hong nodded her chin, a light flashing in her eyes, and she silently memorized this summary in her heart.

Lu Yin fell into deep thought.

Seeing the girls' reactions, Xu Zhimo felt so happy and his face was filled with smiles.

Zhu Guangqian, who had been silent all this time, could no longer hold back and started to curse with a smile.

"But look at this fellow's expression, he is so complacent that it is really annoying."

Now that things have come to this, Bao Guowei had no choice but to admit it.

He wanted to continue pretending, but Xu Zhimo had already explained his writing style thoroughly, so how could he have any room for improvement?
Bao Guowei was so angry that his teeth were itching, and he was thinking about when he should give this guy a good lesson.

But what he didn't know was that Xu Zhimo's joking behavior provided a solid theoretical basis for a literary school in later generations.

They are the generation that grew up under the influence of Bao Guowei's works, gradually began to get involved in literary creation, and gained the right to speak.

The "Bao literature" they established brought about a huge change in the literary world of later generations.

Back to the present, Bao Guowei is nominally the youngest, but in fact, in terms of mentality, Xiao Hong is still the youngest.

She couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Since it was written by Mr. Bingwen, why don't you just publish it and let everyone see it? This is a rare and good novel."

She asked the most crucial question.
