"Bu Yangda, do you have some time recently? We would like to recommend you to study at the Lu Xun Academy of Literature."

"Lu Xun Academy of Literature?"

"Yes, this is the first time that the Lu Xun Academy of Literature has recruited online writers to participate in training."

"I have time, I have time, I have plenty of time."

Upon receiving the message from Raccoon, Chen Yang could hardly believe it.

To know.

The Lu Xun Academy of Literature can be considered the highest institution of literature in China.

Many well-known domestic writers have been trained at the Lu Xun Academy of Literature.

This happened in the past.

The Lu Xun Academy of Literature is not open to online writers.

But I didn't expect it.

This time, they actually opened this door.

of course.

Chen Yang also knew this.

This is the impact generated by CCTV interviewing himself.

This also proves that online literature is gradually gaining mainstream attention, and a series of benefits are coming with it.

……

"Teacher Pei, I would like to ask for leave next week."

How long will it take?

"It will take about a week."

"so much."

Upon receiving the message from Raccoon, Chen Yang immediately asked his homeroom teacher for leave.

"Chen Yang, what are you going to do after taking leave?"

"Teacher Pei, our website recommended that I participate in the training program at the Lu Xun Academy of Literature."

"What? The Lu Xun Academy of Literature... Wow, that's awesome! My biggest dream has always been to go to the Lu Xun Academy of Literature, but I've never had the chance."

Yes.

For those who study literature or Chinese language.

The Lu Xun Academy of Literature is a sacred place in everyone's heart.

I wonder how many people want to go there for training.

But a pity.

The Lu Xun Academy of Literature is not a traditional university; instead, it invites writers and scholars from all over the country to participate in training programs. Countless writers, literary researchers, and critics... some never even get a chance to enter this prestigious institution in their entire lives.

Pei Kai also majored in Chinese Language and Literature.

Unfortunately, he never had the chance to go.

"Okay, your leave is approved. Study hard. Oh, and take a lot of photos."

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Pei."

The homeroom teacher asked for leave, and Chen Yang packed up.

The next day, we prepared to head to Taipei.

Li Hanxiao, the class monitor, and a few others from the dormitory, upon hearing that Chen Yang was going to the Lu Xun Academy of Literature, also went to the airport to see him off.

"Chen Yang, study hard and don't embarrass Aurora University."

"Yes, Chen Yang, when you get there, you should pay your respects to Mr. Lu Xun."

"OK……"

Chen Yang bid farewell to everyone.

He knows it too.

All the students were very envious.

This also excited Chen Yang.

It feels like I've gone back to the college entrance exam years ago, that feeling of becoming famous overnight.

But it’s normal to think about it.

The Lu Xun Academy of Literature—what an institution that is!

Not to mention his classmates, almost anyone who works with words would be incredibly envious.

That afternoon.

Chen Yang then flew to Taipei.

……

"Brothers, I heard that the Lu Xun Academy of Literature is going to hold its first online literature training course."

"The Lu Xun Academy of Literature, is it real or fake?"

"of course it's true."

"Dude, did you hear that right? The Lu Xun Academy of Literature? They're going to offer classes for online writers?"

“I didn’t know how before, but this isn’t the first time.”

Within the circle.

Many authors also heard the news and were incredibly excited.

"It's confirmed, Shenji has received an invitation."

"If we don't proclaim the God, will we go or not?"

"We must go even more if we don't promote the gods, don't you all know that? The opening of the Lu Xun Academy of Literature this time is precisely because of not promoting the gods."

"Oh, I see. It was CCTV's interview with Bu Yangshen a few days ago."

"Yes, the news report in '30 Minutes' has set the tone for our online articles. From now on, we will receive more attention from the higher-ups, which is a good thing."

"Bu Yangshen is still the best. I watched the entire interview with Bu Yangshen, and every time he responded, he was thinking about our online literature."

"I saw it too. No wonder Bu Yangshen can write such amazing works. I admire his skill."

This is not flattery towards Chen Yang.

The authors genuinely admire him.

at this time.

Chen Yang, who had just gotten off the plane, was pulled into a QQ group for the first online literature training class of the Lu Xun Academy of Literature.

Chen Yang clicked on it to take a look.

But it was discovered.

They are all big names in the industry.

Tang San, Shenji, Yueguan, Tomato, Xiao Ding, Xiao Qian, Dangnian Mingyue, Thirty, Jin Hezai, Jiangnan...

There are more than 30 people in the group.

Almost.

The first online literature training course invited almost all of the top online writers in China.

I saw Chen Yang join the group.

Everyone in the group chat got excited: "Bu Yang Shen has joined!"

Chen Yang was taking a taxi to the Lu Xun Academy of Literature campus in Shilibao, Taipei.

Seeing everyone chatting on QQ, Chen Yang also chimed in with a comment.

"I owe my admission to the Lu Xun Academy of Literature to you this time."

"Yes, Bu Yangshen, your interview on CCTV was truly remarkable and made us online writers look very proud."

"Learn from the unsung gods."

"Learn from the God of No Glory and keep the formation."

Everyone was already familiar with each other, and they all chimed in the group chat.

An hour later.

Chen Yang arrived at the Lu Xun Academy of Literature.

at this time.

Several authors have already arrived at the registration area.

Seeing Chen Yang approach.

Shenji and Tang San also greeted Chen Yang.

"Bu Yang Shen, we've arrived! Come on, sign in here."

"Uncle Yang, we meet again. From today onwards, we are classmates."

"Yes, but you have to study hard. If you get expelled halfway through, I won't be your classmate anymore."

"Hahaha……"

We met at the company's annual party.

We usually chat in the group, so we're quite familiar with each other, and we got really excited chatting for a while.

Chen Yang signed in, collected the materials, and then went to his assigned room.

About ten minutes passed.

Shenji, Tang San, Tomato... several authors from Qidian came to Chen Yang's room one after another.

Chen Yang looked over and said, "Oh, I was just about to chat with everyone."

"Haha, that's what we think too."

These online novelists rarely meet in person.

Although there is an annual meeting.

But we only see each other once a year.

Moreover, not all writers are available for the annual meeting.

Some writers don't attend the annual meeting, so you won't see them.

"Everyone sit down."

Chen Yang greeted everyone.

"Bu Yang Shen, you are truly amazing. We really didn't expect that CCTV would actually report on your 'Battle Through the Heavens'."

"Yes, when the host said the phrase 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river,' I was stunned."

“Buyang God, you are simply my idol.”

Recalling the news report in 30 Minutes, everyone was still incredibly excited.

No wonder they were excited.

The influence of online literature was simply too low in the past.

Not only is it low.

Moreover, their status is extremely awkward.

Just like when people talk to each other, they ask what you do.

If it's an online novelist, then it's fine if you know a little about them.

If you don't know, just say, "Oh...you guys are the ones who write those simplistic online articles."

be honest.

It is indeed a novel for beginners.

But the implication was clear: some other people just looked down on them.

It's alright to look down on someone like that.

Even many authors within the industry don't think online novels are anything special.

Many people may also feel that online literature is not a respectable profession.

but now.

CCTV's report on Chen Yang provided guidance for many online writers.

at least.

Following such reports.

People subconsciously feel that our online articles are not necessarily inferior.

"Hey everyone, stop criticizing me. We've come all this way, so we have to check in, right?"

"Yes, yes, there's a statue of Mr. Lu Xun in the lobby. Let's take a picture with him."

"Okay, okay, we'll all go."

Everyone was very excited as it was their first time visiting the Lu Xun Academy of Literature.

"Take a picture of me here."

"This is Mr. Lu."

"He's uncultured. He's Mr. Zhou, you know."

"Pfft... Okay, I couldn't remember for a moment."

No wonder everyone is so excited.

One is that the Lu Xun Academy of Literature is the highest literary institution in China.

the second.

Everyone has been studying Mr. Lu Xun's articles since childhood.

Village opera, from Baicaoyuan to Sanweishuwu, Runtu, Kong Yiji, Diary of a Madman, The True Story of Ah Q, etc.

It would be impossible for anyone not to be excited to be able to receive training at the Lu Xun Academy of Literature at this time.

"By the way, I heard that Teacher Yu Hua and Teacher Mo Yan will also be coming this time."

"Yes, I checked the schedule, and both teachers will be giving us lessons."

"I need to buy a copy of 'To Live' and ask Mr. Yu Hua to sign it for me."

"Great idea, I'll go too."

In here.

Many people are fans of Yu Hua.

His novel "To Live" in particular is truly exceptionally well-written.

Chen Yang, like everyone else, followed them to the bookstore.

"Here, this is a work by Yu Hua."

In a nearby bookstore, Tomato pointed to the book "To Live" on the shelf and said.

Shenji came over, took down the copy of "To Live," and said to Chen Yang, "Shen Yang, I heard you joined the Shanghai Writers Association."

"Yes, the team leader recommended me to join. I didn't want to join at first, but the team leader said that if online literature wanted to develop, it should promote itself to the public more. I was influenced by the team leader, which is why I became more proactive in contacting them."

"That's true. But many books written by traditional authors are really quite incomprehensible."

"That's normal. Just like many traditional writers who read our works might think they're simplistic or even garbage. But no matter what, if we want online literature to rise, we need to go out into the world. Just like this bookstore, when it has a large selection of our online novels, that will be the first step."

"Yes, that's right. Online literature is still literature. In the future, our online works will not only be available online, but will also be available in physical bookstores. They may even become bestsellers and enter the list of richest authors."

"Hahaha, Third Young Master, you're so desperate to become a tycoon, aren't you?"

"Come on, it's not like you don't want to."

The Third Young Master rolled his eyes at everyone and said...

Chen Yang, who was standing to the side, thought of something and said to Tang San, "Third Young Master, your comics sell very well. I just wonder if this bookstore has any of your comics."

"Look for it."

This said.

Everyone is interested.

Don't say it yet.

This search.

They actually found it.

"Zodiac Guardian Deities".

"Third Young Master, you've struck it rich!"

Everyone held up a copy of Tang Jia San Shao's comic book, "Zodiac Guardians," and said, "Tang Jia San Shao, you have to sign it for me."

"Wow, it really exists."

Even the Third Young Master didn't expect this.

My own comic book was found in this bookstore.

"What do you mean it's true? Hurry up, sign it, sign it."

"We're so close, stop messing around."

"Hurry up and sign it. Who knows when you'll become a big shot and it'll be hard to even get an autograph from you?"

"You guys..."

Say so.

But Tang San was also very excited at this moment: "Alright, I'll make a fool of myself."

"Third Young Master, sign one for me too."

Chen Yang also took a book on the Zodiac Guardian.

to be frank.

Whether it's the Third Young Master, the Divine Machine, or even Tomato.

If you put these people at the starting line, they would all be Chen Yang's competitors.

future.

Maybe everyone will want to have a showdown.

However, Chen Yang was quite pleased to see this situation.

It's nothing for an online novelist to go abroad.

We want to enable millions of online writers to go further.

That's all.

The future of online literature will be as vast as the stars and the sea.

……

The training courses at the Lu Xun Academy are quite packed.

8:30 the next day.

The opening ceremony of the first online literature seminar was held.

There's nothing special about the opening ceremony.

They were saying some rather official things.

In the afternoon, a professor from the Party School was invited to give a lecture.

The formal discussion did not begin until the following day.

The professors who came were from Peking University and Central South University.

Chen Yang originally thought that their lectures would focus more on traditional literature.

But to everyone's surprise.

The professor from Peking University is also a fan of online literature. He even said that he likes the works of Mao Ni.

He was a little disappointed that Mao Ni didn't come today.

If they come.

He also said he wanted to take a photo with the cat.

The professors at Central South University are even more down-to-earth.

He said he had written online literature in 2000, but he wrote it on Tianya.com.

At that time, I wrote some poems and prose.

Now let’s see.

He felt that they might have gone in the wrong direction back then.

They also did not expect that online literature would experience explosive growth in the form of genre fiction.

However, he also revealed a piece of information to the group of students.

Currently, Central South University may establish a research center for online literature, specifically to study online literature.

Also.

They also plan to develop a review system for online literature.

Furthermore, during the class, they also solicited a series of rules and standards for the online article commentary system from everyone.

Until the third day.

Teacher Yu Hua and Teacher Mo Yan then arrived.

Nothing said.

Before class even started, Chen Yang took out a copy of "To Live" and got Yu Hua's autograph.

and.

Chen Yang also took a photo with teacher Yu Hua.

Teacher Yu Hua is very amiable and always accompanies the requests of Chen Yang and other online writers.

Even when taking a photo with Chen Yang, Teacher Yu Hua said, "Chen Yang, you said that saying, 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river'... right?"

Chen Yang said somewhat embarrassedly, "I also quoted that line."

"That's a great quote! It captures the spirit of youth, and I really like it. Actually, I occasionally read your online works, and I think your online writers write very well. At least, compared to some other pure literature. Some other pure literature makes me want to fall asleep while reading, but your online works keep me awake, like I'm on steroids."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Professor Yu Hua continued, “Of course, I also write about traditional literature, and I don’t shy away from that. You are all wonderful, like the rising sun at eight or nine in the morning. We should have more opportunities to exchange ideas in the future. By the way, regarding your saying, ‘Don’t underestimate the poor when they are young,’ I think we should add, ‘Don’t underestimate the poor when they are old.’ I’m old now, so please don’t bully me. If you do, I’ll win the Nobel Prize in Literature, and you’ll be so envious.”

"Hahaha"

This remark brought smiles to the faces of everyone in the seminar.
