A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!

Chapter 179 Don't mind life or death, just fight if you don't agree! I want to see what your strength is? (4k)

It’s a bit strange to say, because the relationship between the author and the magazine should be a mutually beneficial one.

Authors receive royalties for publishing articles in magazines and journals.

The magazine receives submissions from authors all over the country, collects them together, and publishes them in the name of magazine journals, attracting readers to buy them and ultimately making a profit.

This should be a positive feedback loop.

But looking back at the rivers and seas——

The "Dragon Clan" series of novels, which were first published in "Youth Preface", caused the magazine to be severely ravaged by readers and besieged by angry readers several times, and at one point it was on the verge of closing down.

The second time the dark fairy tale series of short stories was published in the magazine "Feng Hui", it hadn't even started yet, just a brief introduction -

Magazines and journals were taken off the shelves just because they were reported?

Is this record too brilliant?

When I received the news that the magazine "Fenghui" was taken off the shelves due to a report by parents, and that the magazine would be suspended for two weeks for rectification.

Jiang Hai was completely stunned:
"What did I do?"

Just because I wrote two depressing fairy tales, the magazine company announced that it would cease publication?
Is this influence a bit too great?
Jiang Hai tried to search the Internet for news about the cessation of publication of Feng Hui, and found that without exception, almost all of the comments were complaints from parents.

Various labels such as "bloody", "violent", "difficult to read for minors" were coincidentally added to the magazine "Fenghui".

“Is this something for kids?”

"If our Zi Han grows up reading fairy tales like this, what will happen to him when he grows up?"

Some parents began to describe their children's frightened expressions on the Internet:

"It was a pitch-black night."

Zi Han is five years old and is about to graduate from the last year of kindergarten.

In another semester, Zi Han will graduate from Red Star Kindergarten and enter the sacred and solemn primary school classroom.

The first grade of elementary school is a very important node in a child’s life. It plays a crucial role in the child’s education and physical and mental development.

Counting the time, there are only 4,382 days left before I take the college entrance examination.

Time is tight and tasks are heavy.

At such a critical juncture in life, we naturally cannot let our children fall behind their peers in their studies.

In order to develop Zihan's moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor aspects in an all-round way, Zihan's mother specially enrolled Zihan in three cram schools in her spare time. In addition, all the enlightenment reading materials that Zihan needs for study -

Of course, there can’t be any missing one!
Zi Han is a child with a problem. She is not interested in any scientific research, enlightenment, or educational literary books at all.

She has always been fond of reading fairy tales.

For example, fairy tales like Snow White, The Ugly Duckling and the White Swan, and The Little Match Girl, etc., seemed to be something she would never get tired of reading. She would always listen to them and read them over and over again.
Fenghui magazine has always been a popular children's enlightenment book in the reading market, because each issue of Fenghui magazine serializes various and bizarre fairy tales, and is accompanied by various exquisite illustrations.
Based on this, "Feng Hui" magazine has always been loved by Zi Han and Zi Han's mother. They almost must read and buy every issue.

That night, the kindergarten teacher finished the homework assigned by the teacher, and as usual -

As usual before going to bed, Zi Han opened the "Feng Hui" extracurricular book and began to read the various fairy tales serialized in this magazine.

"Snow White was rescued by the seven brave dwarfs. She did not eat the witch's poisoned apple in the end. The kind-hearted Snow White was rescued by the dwarfs."

At the beginning, Zi Han read with great fascination. She was intoxicated by the wonderful fairy tales that the writers wrote for children and couldn't extricate herself.

then
She saw an allegorical fairy tale called "Little Red Riding Hood"?

"The evil big bad wolf bared its sharp fangs and approached Little Red Riding Hood step by step, and in the end only a pile of unknown bones was left."

"The hunter who represented justice died tragically at the claws of the big bad wolf, and the kind old lady was ultimately not saved."

The darkness of the plot described in this story is terrifying when you think about it carefully.

Especially in the story, there is an illustration of a big bad wolf with blood oozing from its claws, which makes people tremble with fear and trepidation.
At ten o'clock in the evening, when little Zi Han saw this scene, he was immediately frightened.

"mom!!!!!"

Zi Han's out-of-control emotions attracted Zi Han's mother. When Zi Han's mother picked up the latest issue of Feng Hui magazine to read, she almost fainted from anger:

"Who let our Zi Han read this kind of rubbish book???"

For several days, whenever Zi Han thought about the story of "The Lost Little Red Riding Hood", she became very depressed. Even her whole personality changed from cheerful at the beginning to dull:
"fake."

"all fake."

“Justice does not necessarily triumph over evil, just like Little Red Riding Hood, although she is kind, she may not be saved.”

The way to defeat a little boy is to lie down next to his ear and whisper in his ear:
"There is no Ultraman Tiga in this world."

To defeat a little girl, you just need to repeat the above steps and whisper in her ear:
"There is no Balala the Fairies in this world."

In an instant, the childhood dream was shattered.

Although they are in the last year of kindergarten, children at this age still have their own thoughts.

Zi Han has a boyfriend in her class. Oh no, to be more precise, he is a good male friend named Yuhang.

When Yuhang heard that Zihan cried while reading at home, he immediately became very angry:

"What kind of crappy book could make our Zi Han cry???"

Yuhang, who was righteous and did not believe in evil, immediately asked his parents to go to the newsstand and buy him a copy of "Fenghui" magazine.

He wanted to help Zi Han:

"I want to see what's going on."

When the righteous Yuhang was flipping through the latest issue of Fenghui magazine, when he read the article "Lost Little Red Riding Hood" that made Zi Han cry, the usually bold Yuhang suddenly became a little disdainful:
"That's it?"

"Can a fairy tale like this make Zi Han cry?"

"Zi Han is too timid. It seems that Zi Han will still need my protection in the future."

Just as Yuhang was thinking about whether he should go to the dessert shop early to buy two small cakes that Zi Han liked to eat during class tomorrow to comfort Zi Han's wounded heart.

By chance, he read an allegorical fairy tale titled "The Wolf is Coming" in Feng Hui:

"In fact, the cowherd boy was not lying. The wolves really came to the mountain that day, but no one believed him."

Yuhang was deeply moved by the experience of the cowherd boy:

"Actually, I did do the homework for that day, but I just forgot to bring it with me."

“Why won’t the teacher believe me?”

Yuhang's grades were not very good in the class, and he was at the bottom of the class. Every time he said he forgot to bring his homework, the teacher would scold him harshly:
"Yuhang, if you didn't do it, you didn't do it. You can't learn to lie at such a young age."

"Children, the most important thing is to be honest"

But those children with good grades, for example, Zi Han’s favorite Haoxuan.

Yuhang knew that Haoxuan obviously didn't do his homework, but every time Haoxuan didn't finish his homework on time, as long as he told the teacher that he forgot to bring it, the teacher would say to him very gently:
"Children should not lose things. Haoxuan, you must remember to wear it next time."

The cowherd's experience is exactly the same as Yuhang's.

He clearly didn't lie, but why didn't the adults believe him?

He clearly did his homework and just forgot to bring it, but why does the teacher always accuse him?
The more Yuhang thought about it, the angrier he became. The angrier he became, the more he thought about it. The story of the shepherd boy made him feel very upset.

When he looked up, he just saw the remaining half of his father's Liquan cigarette in the ashtray.

“My life is like walking on thin ice”

Yuhang felt very upset. The feeling of being frustrated and not being understood was suppressed in his heart for a long time and could not dissipate.

"Everyone says that Liqun is very strong and can suppress what's on his mind?"

"I want to see if this Liqun is really that magical."

Yuhang took his father's Zippo lighter from the living room table.

He picked up the half-smoked cigarette butt in the ashtray and wanted to imitate the adults and smoke to relieve his sorrow.
Unexpectedly, he turned on the lighter with a click, and before he even lit the half-stick of Liqun in his mouth, the door to the living room opened directly.

Yuhang's father pushed the door open and walked in.

"I'm back."

When Yuhang's father saw his 6-year-old child holding a Zippo lighter in his left hand and a half-stick of Liqun between the index and middle fingers of his right hand, when he witnessed this scene with his own eyes -

I was stunned immediately.

"what are you doing?"

The young Yuhang held half a stick of Liqun in his hand and looked at his father with a serious expression:

"I'm very stressed and want to smoke a cigarette to relax."

Yuhang's father was immediately more confused: "What kind of pressure requires you to smoke to relax?"

Yuhang was seen holding a cigarette in his hand, with countless sorrows in his eyes:
“You’ll understand when you’re my age.”

Hearing this, Yuhang's father locked the door and untied the Seven Wolves belt around his waist:

"Whether I understand or not, you will know it soon."

To be honest, when Zi Han's mother and Yu Hang's father gathered a group of parents and filed a complaint all the way from the Education Bureau to the Cultural Center.

Jiang Hai was completely stunned.

Things like book publishing are generally jointly supervised by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Culture.

Logically speaking, even if you want to complain, you won’t be able to find anything to do with the cultural center.

But the reasons given by these parents are also unexpected:

"If the cultural center doesn't care about culture, what does it care about? Food?"

"Aren't the Cultural Center and the Ministry of Education part of the same system? If we report a problem to you, wouldn't it be resolved if you just reported it to the higher authorities one level at a time?"

"Our children have been influenced by these crappy magazines. Your cultural center failed to provide adequate supervision and must be held responsible."

In fact, Jiang Hai really wanted to defend the cultural center:
It is like there is no wife in wife cake, no pineapple in pineapple bun, and no fish in fish-flavored pork shreds.
The cultural center actually does not have such a wide range of jurisdiction. To put it bluntly, it is a place that provides a venue for cultural and entertainment activities for the masses and does not have that much power.

"I understand how you feel," said Director Zhang of the Cultural Center, who tried to take charge of the situation while looking at the agitated parents. "But supervision and reporting of such matters are not part of our Cultural Center's job responsibilities. If you want to report, you should go to the right place first."

When a scholar meets a soldier, there is no reason to explain.

Even though Director Zhang has tried his best to explain, this group of parents still don't care. In short, they have only one logic -

"Reading books, the very act of doing it is learning culture."

"Since your cultural center has the word 'culture' in its name, you must be responsible for this incident."

The work at the cultural center is relatively leisurely.

It's rare to see so many people in the museum.

Jiang Hai was still thinking about going to see the fun.

Unexpectedly, before he had time to watch the fun, Director Zhang called him over:

"Xiao Jiang, please help me receive these parents who come to complain."

You asked Jiang Hai to receive these parents who came to complain, which made Jiang Hai suddenly feel like——

How does it feel like if someone in this hall sues me?
Faced with this group of excited parents, Jiang Hai suddenly felt a little nervous.

If you knew the author of these so-called 'rubbish stories', he is sitting right in front of you.

Then I will be torn to pieces by you, right?

Adhering to the principles of treating people and doing things consistently within the system:

“Enthusiastic and polite, but clueless.”

Even though everyone was very excited, Jiang Hai quickly sent away parents one by one.

After much difficulty, I finally made it to the end of get off work.

Jiang Hai returned to his dorm and contacted the editor-in-chief of Fenghui magazine. The magazine gave him a reply that was roughly as follows:

"We just received too many reports and need to be reviewed by relevant departments, but we are not stopping publication."

"After the review by relevant departments is completed, Fenghui journal still welcomes your submissions."

I'm sorry, will you dare to do it again next time?

This sentence should be a true portrayal of the journal "Fenghui"?

Even though parents have repeatedly reported this to them, the editorial department of Feng Hui remains very firm:

"Truth is invincible!"

“We are not doing anything that goes against our values. We are just incorporating some novel elements into the familiar fable.”

It is worth mentioning that although the content of these two issues of Feng Hui has been reported by many parents in China, in France——

The sales of Jiang Hai's [Dark Fairy Tales] are still very good?

In fact, children's books like Aesop's Fables and Grimm's Fairy Tales were originally...

It itself has a bit of an adult orientation?

However, due to the general differences between domestic values ​​and foreign values, the series of fables introduced from abroad were forced to cut off a considerable part of the realistic elements.

This is why the children's books entering the domestic market are getting younger and younger.
The editorial department of Fenghui magazine communicated with Jiang Hai. If the subsequent stories and fables of this type, such as "dark fairy tales", face great resistance in publishing in China, then these adult fables created by Jiang Hai -

It can be translated into French by the editorial department and sold in France.

Jiang Hai readily agreed to the magazine's proposal:

"Let's do it this way."

Looking at the comments section of Fenghui magazine, there are all kinds of vicious messages from angry parents:

"This is a rubbish magazine. Close it down now!"

"Where did you find this author? How could he write such a crazy story?"

"This is a story book for children. Why do you write it so bloody?"

"Authors like this should be thrown into a pig cage."

The truth has always been in the hands of a few people.

I won't stop killing people just because you oppose me.

"It's useless for you to threaten me. I won't listen anyway." Jiang Hai flipped through the negative comments from parents with an indifferent look on his face. "If I stop what I'm doing because of a few threats from you, if I'm really that cowardly——"

"Then, I won't be called Jiang Hai anymore."

In fact, Jiang Hai has always felt that he was too low-key.

Whether he is submitting novels or magazines, he seems to always use a small account?
Sometimes, appropriate humility is indeed a virtue.

But excessive modesty can only be called stupidity.

Jiang Hai recently reflected on it and realized that it might be because of his excessive modesty that the voices on the Internet questioning his reputation and plagiarism are getting louder and louder.
"Life and death are bearish, do not accept it!"

Adhering to this concept.

This time, Jiang Hai doesn't want to keep a low profile anymore.

He wanted to see what kind of strength those haters who were always clamoring to kill him on the Internet actually had in real life.
If I really meet him, can I really kill him with a knife as people say online?

Jiang Hai submitted an article to a well-established magazine called Ta Kung Pao under his real name [Jiang Hai]. This magazine had a great influence in the province:
["Sanmao's Wanderings" Episode 1, Scene 1, please check.]
