Love and Gentle Township: Billionaire Sister

Chapter 48 Afterword
Not in name
What is a novel?Balzac said that a novel is the secret history of a nation's soul. Although it is not necessarily regarded as a golden rule, it is an absolute classic discussion or a metaphor for the world.

What I want to say is: novels are not cosmetics, nor are they French perfumes. Novels should be a chicken soup for the soul that nourishes people’s hearts, and a powder for expelling decay and strengthening the body.Of course, it can also be a pistachio that delights the body and mind, or a Nongfu spring that becomes a person trekking in the spiritual desert.A good novel should inspire, lead and criticize the society and life, especially the pathology and lack of humanity in those societies. Although the novelist’s pen is not the judge’s hammer and does not have the power to enforce the law, it should be the balance of morality Pushing hands, you can make moral judgments and spiritual influences on characters in your own works.

As for the definition and division of so-called pure literature and popular literature, it is not only very imprecise and unscientific to understand from the connotation, extension and quality of the concept, but also difficult to measure and identify in practice.If you must use this ruler to measure, would you say "A Dream of Red Mansions" is pure literature or vulgar literature?Scholars and experts can delve into this famous work, which can be called a classic of Chinese literature, for decades, and even divide it into schools to fight pen and ink lawsuits.With a junior high school education, or even a local scholar who has finished a small education in the countryside and has a rough understanding of characters, he can read it at a glance, and he can roughly understand its meaning.In addition, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhao Shuli and other well-known writers such as "Xiao Erhei's Marriage" and "Li Youcai's Banhua" have a wide audience, and it is impossible to use the ruler of pure literature or vulgar literature to tailor them one by one.

Sometimes, the extreme of vulgarity is elegance.I think that appealing to both refined and popular tastes is the best achievement in the art of novels.How to write interestingly and meaningfully is a major creative topic given to writers by the times.

I remember that the concept of pure literature gained a foothold in the literary world around the early 80s when the reform and opening up of the last century began.With the crest of the reform and opening up, the big waves wash away the sand, and the kaleidoscope of the literary world after 30 years of ups and downs is still the same. The naughty thing called "vulgar literature" is still romping around, everywhere.

The reality is that works with high acclaim in the literary circle are not bought by the majority of audiences, and best-selling books that have created a miracle of distribution are dismissed in the literary circle.

This is of course a literary embarrassment!
This embarrassment is likely to continue for several years.Because of the large population of our famous Chinese families, the great differences in cultural levels and the deep "gap" in aesthetic needs, it may be difficult to rhyme in a hundred or ten years.

It's okay and normal.You can sing your "Yangchun Baixue" as much as you want, and he can also shout his "Lower Riba People".Each has its own fun, and each has its own way of reproduction.Natural selection, survival of the fittest!The question is to see who lived and who came.The most common and constant competition in this world is the competition of survivability.

Broadly speaking, each of us lives in this great atmosphere of survival competition.When I was a teenager, the first thing I loved was pure literature. I did a lot of graffiti on poetry, prose, reportage, literary criticism, and novels.Later, he accidentally set foot in the officialdom, and wrote a lot of parrot-like words, and even wrote inspections when he made a mistake at work.It seems that in the previous life, I have cast myself under the disciple of Confucius. His old man can only use Ziyue, but we can’t do anything without one word: write!It goes without saying that it is sweet, sour, bitter and hot.

Just like this, how many years have passed away, and at the same time, I have been doing my best to decorate the officialdom for more than 20 years. Suddenly, I found that there are many people in the officialdom who are much worse than me. bigger.As for us, no matter how we become officials, we will not be able to be big officials.

I feel like a very mediocre green apple, and there are so many green apples out of blue that quickly turn darker than blue.Since it can't be deeper than blue, what's the use of love inn?So catching up with a very decent and normal opportunity, Li Taibai hummed in his ear again: "Life is not satisfactory in this world, and the Ming Dynasty will spread out and make boats" go!
Rafting in the business world is both bitter and sweet, but it is definitely different from writing articles.When you write an article, you can edit it there alone, but the business wars are unpredictable and unpredictable, and the other party is also editing it there.You make it up and earn some money, but if you make it up wrong, they will earn your money.Are there no fathers and sons in business?
Although there are not too many good things to do to make money, it is very complicated, tiring and annoying.Unexpectedly, the impulse to write a novel ten years ago came back again.In the dead of night, I often ask myself: Cao Xueqin is not even a member of the Writers Association, has never heard of winning any awards, and has never been a chairman or vice-chairman. The crown of Huaxia Shenzhou makes foreigners jealous.Chen Zhongshi, a master of contemporary literature, also said that if you can't write a book that can be used as a pillow after death at the age of 50, your life will be in vain.These words are really a literary declaration like Huang Zhong Dalu, an oath like a strong man cutting his wrist, and it is also a self-examination of the writer's self-torture and judgment.Now that he has the title of Chinese writer, he should not be in vain.

The encouragement and encouragement of so many role models from ancient times to the present made me accidentally jump into the quagmire of making novels again.I have written short stories, novellas and short novels, and I can finish them in one go when I get excited on a whim, but running a full-length novel is like the Red Army walking a [-]-mile long march. I am not sure about the founding ceremony.

Just in the middle of writing this long manuscript, when I was in pain and struggling to retreat, I showed half of the printed manuscript to Mr. Wang Jianting, a famous poet and painter of brother Wen Dao, to read.

It takes time to read long-form manuscripts, and when I put down the manuscripts, I am busy with business matters.Suddenly, I received a call from Brother Jian Ting late at night, and I could still hear his clapping voice on the phone: "Brother, I read half of the long-form manuscript, it's good, it's good! The characters are vivid and the storyline is good. My eyes lit up. Hurry up and finish writing, as long as you have a handsome woman, you won’t have to worry about finding your husband’s family.”

At the same time, I also sent the manuscript to my classmate Zhu Te in college for review through the Internet mailbox, and I also got the approval and support of my seniors.

The encouragement from my friends in the same way is unavoidable to be praised, but it played a role in boosting morale, so I regrouped and continued to fight hard.

Encouragement from friends is encouragement, and you cannot write for you with a knife.You still have to trek hard in the snow-capped mountains and grasslands, and work hard at your desk until you draw the last punctuation mark on the manuscript paper.

Fortunately, I met Liu Yingwu, a senior editor and reviewer who is talented and thoughtful.We have never met before, just exchanged messages in the Internet mailbox, and communicated briefly on the phone.Afterwards, it was all about adjusting, revising, communicating and negotiating the content of the manuscript.Mr. Liu Yingwu is proficient in calligraphy and has a deep insight into the book market.The association with him made me open a skylight in the lost way of creation, and understand a lot of truths about what to write, how to write and for whom to write.

To say a cliché is to be grateful for life, and at the same time, we should be grateful for the like-minded teachers and friends who share the same goals and make good plans in life and creation.

This novel is only the first of the trilogy of full-length novels "Red Earth" in my writing plan, and the next two of course still have a long way to go in the snowy mountains and grasslands.With the care and help of the leaders and editors of the Writer's Publishing House, and the understanding, support and love of the readers, the author will work hard and report to his bosom friends in case of emergency.
