Zhou Hexuan's understanding of Lu Yin comes from the university elective course "History of Modern Chinese Literature". She is China's first feminist writer (not counting Lu Bicheng). Her works often focus on women's perspectives, but her writing style is direct, vigorous and stubborn.
, writing like a knife.
Luyin's women's rights are true women's rights, pursuing equality and independence between men and women, advocating that women should not be used as flower vases, women should help themselves, and women should share family and social responsibilities with men. For housewives who are unable to work, they should do housework.
Raising children is also considered labor.
This kind of thinking was very valuable in the early years of the Republic of China - and it will also be very valuable in China decades later.
When Zhou Hexuan was taking "History of Modern Chinese Literature" as an elective, the deepest impression he had on Lu Yin was her tragic life. She obviously lived in an official family, but she suffered a lot since she was a child. She got married and gave birth to a daughter, but her husband died of illness. She was kicked out by her mother-in-law.
The family suffered for many years, and finally met a good man and remarried. They lived a happy life for several years, but eventually died of dystocia.
In fact, the reason why Lu Yin survived was due to poverty. The couple did not go to the hospital to save money, so they only spent more than ten yuan to hire a midwife to deliver the baby at home. As a result, the baby was bleeding profusely and could no longer be treated by the hospital.
Unlike Zhu Xiang's tragedy of seeking his own death, Lu Yin's tragedy all comes from society.
Preferring boys over girls!
If she was a boy, her parents would never regard her as a disaster and leave her to fend for herself. If she was a boy, her mother-in-law would not kick them out of the house after her husband died.
This woman has never given in. She has been fighting against fate her whole life. Unfortunately, she was unable to defeat her in the end.
"Is Ms. Huang going to Peking?" Zhou Hexuan asked.
Lu Yin nodded and said: "Beiping Municipal Girls' High School is short of a principal, and I was invited to perform my duties."
"Ms. Huang is really young and promising," Zhou Hexuan said with a smile. He knew that he had been the principal of Luyin for a short time, but because he was not good at handling mundane affairs, he resigned after only one year.
As a principal, and a principal of a public school, you must have contact with various officials. Everyone knows what kind of ethics officials have. She is so fed up with this that she would rather not be a principal and teach as an ordinary teacher.
"Woo..."
The train whistle blows.
Lu Yin hurriedly buttoned up his suitcase and said, "Mr. Zhou, we'll talk to you next time, I have to catch the train."
Zhou Hexuan said: "Ms. Huang, if you are unhappy in Peiping, you can come to see me at the Tianjin Ta Kung Pao newspaper office."
"Okay, goodbye!" Lu Yin didn't have time to say more, put his daughter on his back, and left quickly with two suitcases.
"well!"
Zhou Hexuan looked at Lu Yin's thin back and couldn't help but sigh. The Republic of China was difficult, and it was even more difficult for women in the Republic of China. For a woman like Lu Yin, who has an ordinary appearance and does not rely on family background or men, it is a miracle that she can become a principal at such a young age.
.
After returning home, someone came to visit me soon, but it was Liu Huicheng, the owner of Lili Bookstore, who personally sent money.
"Mr. Zhou, this is last month's royalties." Liu Huicheng held a check from a foreign bank in both hands.
In later generations, royalties were basically settled every six months, but wars in the Republic of China were frequent and everyone was afraid of accidents, so they were settled monthly.
Zhou Hexuan glanced at it and saw that the amount above was more than 10,000. He immediately smiled and said: "Boss Liu, for this novel, I can just send someone here, why bother you."
Liu Huicheng smiled apologetically and said: "Others can do it, but I have to deliver Mr. Zhou's royalties to my door in person. Only then do I show respect."
"Boss Liu is interested," Zhou Hexuan said.
Liu Huicheng probed: "Mr. Zhou, your "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been serialized for 80,000 words. Can it be published as a single volume?"
Well, this is Liu Huicheng's real purpose. Businessmen can't afford it early if they don't have any profit.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has now been serialized to the point where Guo Jing takes Yang Guo up Zhongnan Mountain. Guo Jing has just shown off his power on the mountain, which makes readers enjoy watching it. The protagonist Yang Guo has been stealing chickens and dogs since he was a child, and he also worships Ouyang Feng as his adoptive father. At first glance,
It's not serious. But this kind of protagonist is more humane and easier to be accepted by readers.
Some critics commented in the newspaper: "Yang Guo in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is completely different from Guo Jing in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Guo Jing is honest and dull, but Yang Guo is evil. As soon as he appears, he doesn't know who he stole."
Chicken, he can tease women at a young age. This is not a knight in the traditional sense. He is the son of the big bad guy Yang Kang. He has his own personality and personality. Let us wait and see how far he can grow in the end."
It can be said that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is more popular than "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". The only thing that people are criticizing now is that the weird Huang Rong is written as a disgusting middle-aged woman. Huang Rong fans are almost scolded.
.
Faced with such a hot-selling novel, Liu Huicheng naturally wanted to win the copyright.
Zhou Hexuan didn't beat around the bush and said with a smile: "35% of the royalties, if Boss Liu agrees, we will sign a contract."
"Okay!" Liu Huicheng agreed without even thinking about it.
…
morning.
Shan Chengfu rolled up his sleeves and walked to the courtyard to greet Li Shoumin and others who were about to go to work: "It's breakfast, have you eaten?"
"Eat, good morning, old man." Li Shoumin greeted.
The weather was a bit cold. Shan Chengfu walked to the entrance of the alley while drinking a white soda. Several old guys were already waiting there. They were not here to play chess. Only fools would play chess outside in this kind of damn weather without freezing.
Dogs are weird.
"Why aren't you here yet?" Fourth Master Zhang said, trembling.
"Come on, come on!" Shan Chengfu stamped his feet and moved his body.
Not long after, Mr. Chen came over with a bird cage and said with a smile: "Everyone is here, morning!"
Fourth Master Zhang said angrily: "What a fart, I'm freezing to death."
Several old men waited for a long time, and finally a newspaper deliveryman came over and shouted: "Get the newspaper, "New Tianjin Daily", "Yi Shi Daily", "Ta Kung Pao", "Dazhong Daily"..."
"Hurry up, hurry up!" the old men urged.
As soon as they got the newspaper, they couldn't wait and started reading it right where they were.
What do you think they are doing?
Looking forward to catching up on "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"!
In the previous chapter, it was written that Yang Guo was bullied by the Chongyang Sect, got into great trouble, and fled randomly into the forbidden area. Readers will have their appetites whetted.
Chen Erye was a scholar in the former Qing Dynasty. He was a strange reader and soon read that the little dragon girl had officially appeared. The newspaper read: Yang Guo raised his head and saw a delicate hand like white jade lifting the curtain and walking in a young girl.
The girl was dressed in a gauze-like white dress, as if she was in smoke. She seemed to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. Except for her black hair, she was all white.
There was a layer of blood on her, making her look extremely pale.
"What a wonderful girl!"
Mr. Chen couldn't help but cheer in a low voice: "This girl only exists in heaven, and is rarely heard of in the human world."
After he finished reading today's serialized content, he sighed and said, "It's a pity that it's too cold and inhumane."
Mr. Zhang smiled and said, "Women should be cooler."
"I like Huang Rong better, she is smart and smart." Shan Chengfu said.
"It seems that this little dragon girl should be the heroine, which suits me very well." Mr. Chen said, stroking his beard.
"Martial arts novels depend on men, why do you care about women?" Shan Chengfu said and gestured, "I didn't expect that Guo Jing has become a peerless master. I don't think all evil and western poisons can defeat him. The Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon.
, hit it with one move and broke the Beidou Formation!"
Chen Erye said: "You don't understand this. Everyone has the love for beauty. The novel must have a male, a female, and a yang in harmony to make it read well."
"You are not serious!" Everyone scorned him in unison.
Fourth Master Zhang said: "The novels written by Mr. Huang are still good-looking. I look forward to reading the later ones every day."
"It's Mr. Zhou, my tenant!" Shan Chengfu said proudly.
During the Republic of China, there were too few entertainment options. A martial arts novel was not only popular among young people, it could even make a few old men wait for updates in the cold weather.
Throughout Tianjin, countless people read "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" every day. Today, the daily sales of the "Popular" supplement have exceeded 8,000 copies. Fans even praise "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" as the best book today.
Zhou Hexuan is worried, should the plot of Dragon Knight be changed?
It won't work if we don't change it. During the Republic of China, although sexual concepts gradually became more open, it was limited to intellectuals. Ordinary people still attached great importance to chastity. If a Taoist priest defiled Xiao Longnu, the newspaper office would probably be smashed.
