Zhao Ziyu felt a little disappointed and sighed: "This person is not from the 77th grade. He is a worker, peasant, and soldier student, and the director of the May Fourth Literary Society of Peking University. He came to you directly. It seems that he knew that you planned this."
Lin Xiaoguang was a little depressed.
He clearly promoted Pan Hong, the president, the person who gained the most benefits. If the sky fell, there would be a tall man to hold it up. She was the president, so of course she would be the one to take the blame. He was the head of the editorial department, so there was no reason to settle accounts with him.
Facts have proved that among the workers, peasants and soldiers, there are good comrades and bad elements.
A large number of worker, peasant, and soldier students like Youth Digest very much. For example, soldier students who have stayed in the military camp for a few years like the Military Camp Years column of Youth Digest. There are many articles related to military camp life in the column, such as
The novel "The Colonel's Daughter".
Worker students are no exception. They like the Production Times column, which contains many articles about factory production and construction, such as the novel "Workers' Courtyard".
Farmer students also like some, such as the novel "The Son-in-Law at Home".
The same goes for students in grades 77 and 78.
Many of them are educated youths who have had the experience of going to the mountains and countryside. They like the educated youth stories column in the Youth Digest very much. The educated youths of the Corps like the novel "Beidahuang" in the column, and the educated youths who jumped in the queue like "The North Wind Blows".
There are many columns and more articles.
The reason why literature is highly praised is because of the aesthetic ideology contained in words and the inner emotions expressed.
Lin Xiaoguang believes that a literary work, whether it is Yangchun Baixue or Lower Riba People, must first achieve one purpose, which is to touch people's hearts and move people from the bottom of their hearts. Other cognitive functions, educational functions, and aesthetic functions come into play secondarily. If they fail to reach people's hearts, they will just
There is no way to further touch on social functions.
As long as a person is good or bad, he or she has a shining point of humanity, the only difference is more or less.
Take the bad elements among worker, peasant, and soldier students, for example. They entered university through connections, but their learning ability was not up to standard. They also fished in troubled waters in school, and even formed gangs to bully men and dominate women.
Even if these people are bad and have never been in love, they still like love poems.
Some people have not been home for a long time and have never been reunited with their parents. When I saw the homesickness and homesickness in the Youth Digest, I couldn't help but be touched by it.
But Lin Xiaoguang didn't want to please everyone.
His slogan is, there is always one that suits you, just impress a large number of people.
This is also true. When Youth Digest was released, it caused a huge response. During normal times, because there are classes, not many students come to visit the Tsinghua Literary Society. When weekends are off, people come to visit very early.
On weekends, students all want to relax, and members of the Tsinghua Literary Club are no exception, but someone must be on duty.
The person on duty was helpless when he saw these readers coming to look for them. Later, there were more people and he couldn't handle them alone, so he had to ask the superiors for instructions.
So, the two presidents decided to work overtime today to receive readers.
The work of receiving readers is very simple. Some of them are very moved because of reading the article. It's enough for one person to be moved. They have to find someone to talk to. It's okay to find someone to talk to. But they have to go to the Youth Digest Editorial Board to say that their books and periodicals
Well done, when it comes to moving parts, it makes people runny noses and burst into tears. It really makes the listener sad and the listener in tears.
"You don't know, we are in the Great Northern Wilderness, it's hard work."
"It was 1969. I had just graduated from high school. I hadn't rested for a few days, so I got into a tanker truck in the Northeast, transferred to a reclining car in Peiping, and then went to the Northeast. For two days and two nights, I waited until I arrived in the Great Northern Wilderness.
The educated youth gathered together, and as soon as they got out of the car, it started pouring with rain, and there was no shelter..."
People who have never gone to the mountains or countryside feel very strange when they hear this, but they don't understand the mixed flavors.
Although Lin Xiaoguang has never been an educated youth, he knows a lot about these things and has some experience, but it is not as good as those who have experienced it personally, but the number is large.
Every educated youth has his own story, but he does not know the stories of other educated youths.
And Lin Xiaoguang knew it.
He wrote novels about educated youth with a very clear purpose of arousing resonance and impressing these people.
The next day, after the study class, when the Tsinghua Literature Society held an enlarged meeting, he mentioned this matter.
"Why the September issue of Youth Digest is so popular is because we impress our readers, to be precise, we impress the educated youth among our readers."
Those attending the meeting were thoughtful.
He continued: "The readers are all from Longjiang, Nanyun, Hu Jian, and Western Xinjiang. They are all children of workers, peasants, and soldiers. Most of the people here are educated youths from far away.
The old three groups, the new five groups in the middle, and the last five groups are closer. As long as we capture these people, Youth Digest will be successful."
"But looking at the September issue, the proportion of the educated youth life column is relatively small. Should we expand it?" Liu Yan asked.
She was an educated youth, but instead of going to Beidahuang, she went to the Nanyun Frontier. The article about educated youth in Youth Digest made her cry for a time.
When everyone else heard this question, they all stared at Lin Xiaoguang, including Zhu Jianjun who resumed his duties.
"Need not."
Lin Xiaoguang shook his head: "It is enough to expand the content. There is no need for columns. Take the current stories of educated youth, military camp years, and rural world. The former are all articles for educated youth. The production and construction corps accounts for a large part of the column "military camp years"
, there are also many stories about the educated youth who jump in line in the rural world."
"If the proportion of educated youth increases too much, Youth Digest might as well change its name to Educated Youth Digest."
The classroom burst into laughter, and Liu Yan couldn't help but blush.
Pan Hong waved his hand, coughed, and after the classroom was quiet, he scanned everyone and slowly said: "The one-week study class has ended successfully. The students are all doing well and have successfully passed the study. Next, what we have to do is to implement the double
Hundreds of policies."
After a pause, Pan Hong looked at Lin Xiaoguang in the field: "Just like Xiaoguang did, on the basis of the existing September issue, we will correct some problems and improve others. Making Youth Digest a good job is our main job.
, the other departments are surrounding the editorial department and fully cooperating with this matter."
The president sets the tone, and the executive vice president supports it with both hands. The other five ministers also know the ins and outs, and the more deputy ministers and backbones will certainly not object foolishly.
So the matter was settled.
Youth Digest is a topic of conversation for many students right now, and not everyone has positive reviews. Of course, there are also different opinions.
Just like some of the people Chen Jiangong talks about.
On this day, Lin Xiaoguang went to the Peking University Readers Association and bumped into him on the road. The two of them were familiar with each other. He had invited Chen Jiangong to write for him before. He had experienced the popularity of Youth Digest, and Chen was no stranger to Lin because he was a young man who had risen to fame.
Editor-in-Chief of Digest.
"Xiaoguang, I have something to tell you."
"What's the matter? Don't tell me it's a manuscript request for the new issue. Was it cut off by the May Fourth Literary Society?" Lin Xiaoguang joked casually.
Chen Jiangong was a little embarrassed.
"It's like this. Someone told me that your Youth Digest is engaged in popular literature and engages in Liba people. The works in it are not very literary and some are too vulgar. They asked me not to write for you. Of course I didn't agree, but
There's no room for "Weiming Lake" there, so I can only serialize this one for you now."
"It's okay." Lin Xiaoguang shook his head.
Popular literature and elite literature have always been sworn enemies, just like literary films and commercial films.
But he didn't expect that the war would come so quickly.
