It is estimated that many people have never heard of this school. If you pronounce the school name backwards, you will know it - Xiamen University.
Two years ago, due to a student unrest, the newly founded Xiamen University split. Some teachers and students went to Shanghai to start a new school from scratch. This is the origin of Daxia University. After the founding of New China, Daxia University was integrated into East China Normal University.
big.
It was the weekend and the sun was shining brightly in the morning.
Several female students took the letters and returned to the dormitory, chatting and laughing all the way. When they passed a room, a girl knocked on the door and shouted: "Teacher Huang!"
The person who opened the door was a haggard woman in her 20s. She asked, "What's the matter?"
The girl said: "When I went to get the letter just now, I saw your parcel, so I brought it back for you."
"Thank you." The woman smiled.
"Teacher Huang, let's go first!" The girl handed her the parcel and waved goodbye.
Teacher Huang's name is Huang Shuyi, her pen name is Lu Yin, and she is member No. 13 of the Literary Research Association. Her current position is as a teacher at the High School Affiliated to Daxia University and as a guide for girls at Daxia University. She usually lives in the girls' dormitory.
There was a little girl about two years old in the room, looking at Lu Yin eagerly: "Mom, I'm hungry."
Lu Yin took out a candy from the drawer, stuffed it into his daughter's mouth and said, "Good boy, eat the candy first, lunch time isn't here yet."
The little girl was very thin. She bit the candy and ran back to the bed. She sat down obediently and said nothing.
Lu Yin opened the parcel and found the latest issue of "Novel Monthly" inside. As an early member of the Literary Research Association, she had the right to order the journal for free.
While coaxing her children, Lu Yin opened the magazine. She was soon surprised to find that the "headline" novel in this issue was actually a new work, and even Lao She's "Lao Zhang's Philosophy" was pushed to the back.
"It turned out to be Mr. Zhou's masterpiece. I didn't expect that he also started writing novels." Lu Yin lives far away in Shanghai and has not heard of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Lu Yin admired Zhou Hexuan very much. She once said: I envy heroes and I admire thinkers.
After reading "The Rise of the Great Powers", Lu Yin thought that Zhou Hexuan was a great thinker, and she was now curious about what kind of novels the thinker would write.
Lu Yin is a novel addict and quickly became immersed in stories.
The heroine in the book has no name and is replaced by "she" throughout the story. "She" talks to ghosts in prison, "she" wanders alone since she was a child, "she" makes friends with wild cats, and "she" discusses survival with wild dogs.
Problem, "she" was caught by the police for stealing food, "she" became a sacrifice for the warlord to pray for rain, "she" met the river god at the bottom of the river...
Although the "Novel Monthly" is very substantial, it still needs to publish other content, so "The Goddess" is only serialized with more than 10,000 words. The novel ends abruptly when the heroine meets the river god.
Lu Yin put down the magazine and let out a long sigh. She didn't know how to evaluate this novel. Everything in the book was spiritual, including cats and dogs that could talk, but humans were like puppets without souls.
fairy tale?
Children simply cannot understand the deep meaning of the book, while adults shudder when reading it.
myth?
This is not a mythical novel. The plot of gods and ghosts in it can be understood as the protagonist's fantasy. This is a realistic work, but the description of society is too dark. This darkness is also hidden in the joy and celebration, just like a Taoist law
The sword pierces the reader's heart.
Lu Yin felt the same way, and she even felt that the novel was describing herself.
Lu Yin grew up in an old-style family. Her father was a former Qing Dynasty official and even served as a county magistrate. However, she was regarded as a disaster by her mother since she was a child, and was left to be raised by a wet nurse because her grandmother died on the day she was born.
During her childhood, the whole family treated her as if she didn't exist. She was covered with scabies when she was two years old, and she still couldn't walk or talk when she was three years old, because no one bothered to teach her. Later, she fell seriously ill with a fever, and her family refused to send her home.
She went to be treated, waiting for her to fend for herself. It was the wet nurse who took her to the countryside and ate the simple meals of the farmers to recover from her illness.
After her father became the magistrate of Changsha, Lu Yin was taken back to her parents. However, she still received no love and care. Once she was thrown into the water by her father because she was crying. Fortunately, she was rescued by the attendants and survived.
All this is because she is a woman and a disaster star.
When Lu Yin was six years old, his father died of a heart attack, and his uncle took them to his maternal uncle's home in Peking. His uncle was a former member of the Ministry of Agriculture, Industry and Commerce of the Qing Dynasty, and he was also an imperial physician at the imperial hospital. His family had a big business, and Lu Yin had about 20 cousins.
indivual.
But Lu Yin was still regarded as a disaster star and could not go to school. She could only learn the Three Character Classic from her aunt. She even lived with the maid in the house. Whenever there was a happy event or a treat at her uncle's house, Lu Yin was locked in the yard alone.
, I can only relieve my boredom by talking to the birds, insects, flowers and plants in the yard.
This is just the beginning. Lu Yin's life is a complete tragedy. She has never been smooth. Her husband also died last year, and she was kicked out of the house by her mother-in-law. She wandered around with her one-year-old daughter.
When she was studying in school, Lu Yin almost became disabled due to sores on her feet. Later, she suffered a ruptured lung duct and coughed up blood. At that time, she was guided to believe in religion and converted to God, and found comfort in religious beliefs. Now she believes in new ideas (freedom).
(with science), she has been to Japan, North Korea, Fengtian, Dalian and Tianjin, and witnessed the decline of Chinese society and the suffering of people's lives along the way. She went crazy and wanted to overthrow this old society.
Everything depicted in "The Goddess" coincides with Lu Yin's state of mind.
Liang Qichao and Zheng Zhenduo felt terrified when they read "The Goddess", but Lu Yin had different feelings about it because she had experienced this since she was a child.
At noon, Lu Yin took her daughter out to eat. When she returned to the dormitory, she started writing a book review. She planned to publish it in the "Literary Talks" section of "Novel Monthly":
"The new literature in China since the May 4th Movement has been first recommended by "Diary of a Madman", followed by Mr. Zhou Hexuan's "The Goddess". There are only a few thousand words, and I only read the beginning, and I have already seen an old society that cannibalizes people.'
She seems to be a sacrifice of this dark society, destined to tragedy. Peeling off the clothes of gods and monsters, I can see the author's analysis of the soul and the torture of human nature. This book will show readers a true and absurd story.
of China…”
Not only Luyin, but all readers who got "Novel Monthly" were shocked by this novel, which only serialized the first 10,000 words.
Zheng Zhenduo himself wrote a review in the magazine: "The 'she' in "The Goddess" is the embodiment of China's 40 million citizens. Each of us is a victim of the old society."
What attracts more attention from writers is the writing style of "The Goddess". The plot of the novel is not coherent, interspersed with a large number of flashbacks and interludes, as well as various fantasies of the heroine, creating a psychedelic and absurd atmosphere.
It makes it difficult to distinguish reality.
This kind of novel is unique in the whole world.
After reading "The Goddess", many writers have the same thought in their minds: Damn it, can a novel be written like this?
