The history of New China can actually be expressed through songs.
For example, in the first half of the 1950s, the Chinese People's Volunteers sang military songs, marching across the Yalu River with great vigor and high spirits. In the second half of the year, workers, peasants, students, soldiers and merchants sang "Socialism is Good" together.
In the first half of the 1960s, the singer Guo Lanying sang "My Motherland", and in the second half of the 1960s, "The East is Red" was played in space, which spread throughout the country and abroad.
Throughout the 1970s, educated youths sang "We Walk on the Road" and rushed to all corners of the country.
In the first half of the 1980s, under the banner of reform and opening up, people walked on the "Field of Hope". In the second half of the Spring Festival Gala, Hong Kong patriotic singer Zhang Mingmin sang "My Chinese Heart".
In the first half of the 1990s, everyone sang "Spring Story" and went to the sea together. In the second half of the year, Hong Kong returned to China and "Towards a New Era".
Lin Xiaoguang likes these songs very much.
Of course, what he wants to sing most now is "On the Field of Hope" because December is coming soon.
In November, we passed the beginning of winter, and in a blink of an eye, the light snow arrived. The first snow in 1978 came to Peiping, and the November issue of "Youth Digest" was released.
The entire imperial capital was covered in silver and a vast expanse of white.
The north wind howled the night before yesterday, and when I woke up the next morning, the fallen snow outside was two inches deep, and the goose-feather snow was still falling, blowing in the wind and falling on people like catkins.
Lin Xiaoguang suddenly wanted to sing a song. The first snow in 2002 came later than usual.
The snow in 1978 came early, but Zhong Wenzhang came quite late.
When he came to Tsinghua to find someone, Lin Xiaoguang was discussing Youth Digest with people from the Readers Association.
In the October issue of "Youth Digest", a song "White Birch Forest" was published, which caused a sensation among college students in Peking, and "Youth Digest" became famous for a while.
Waiting until the November issue, "Youth Digest" once again caused shock.
This time, the main works of "Youth Digest" are not poems or songs, but novels.
If Lin Xiaoguang wants to copy poems, there are really many poems. Any one of them can make the people in the May Fourth Literary Society speechless. For example, Gu Cheng's "A Generation". The night gave me black eyes, but I used
It seeks light.
Another example is Bei Dao's short poem "Life" - Net.
Or the classic lyric poem "Facing the sea, the flowers are blooming in spring" by Anqing poet Haizi.
No matter which song it is, it is enough to make young literary people worship it.
But he didn't, maybe because he felt that virtue was not worthy of his place. He was a pseudo-literary young man who really stole these famous poems in the modern poetry world. He couldn't help but feel guilty because he actually didn't have the talent and talent for that kind of poetry.
Furthermore, poets all have representative works. If I copy their representative works, I feel sorry for the original authors.
Gu Cheng hanged himself, Haizi fell on the rails...
It is really unjustifiable for him to copy such a tragic thing again.
So he did not copy poems, but wrote a short story that belongs to scar literature based on the experiences of educated youth he had heard for decades.
Scar literature is now a literary trend.
For example, teacher Liu Xinwu's "Class Teacher" was published in "People's Literature" in November last year. There is also the origin of the name of scar literature. "Scar" by classmate Lu Xinhua was published in "Wenhui Po" in August this year.
After Teacher Liu Xinwu was transferred to Peking People's Publishing House as editor in 1974, it was not until the summer of 1977 that he secretly wrote "Class Teacher" at home.
In September last year, the editorial department of "People's Literature" received "Class Teacher", and then it passed the preliminary review by the novel team editor, and then passed the re-examination. In the final review process, the deputy editor was difficult to decide whether to pass the review. In the end, the editor-in-chief Zhang Guangnian decided to make slight revisions.
Publish directly.
Therefore, "Class Teacher" was published as the headline of the "Short Story Special" in the 11th issue of "People's Literature".
The publication of "Scars" was even more tortuous.
The Grade 77 Literary Criticism Class of the Chinese Department of Fudan University wanted to publish a poster, so classmate Lu Xinhua wrote this article "Scar" as a poster for the poster.
Subsequently, "Scar" attracted the attention of all students in the school, and many people shed tears while watching it. The editor of "Wenhui Po" heard about it from a teacher at Fudan University, and asked for the manuscript to read it in detail and prepare it for publication. However, there were differences within the editorial department.
Opinion.
For two months, in Shanghai, Peiping's literary and art circles widely solicited opinions. Lu Xinhua sent "Scars" to "People's Literature", but the manuscript was rejected. At this time, the editor-in-chief of "Literary News" supported
published.
Finally, "Wen Wei Po", published on August 11, 1978, published "Scar" in one page.
This is how "Head Teacher" and "Scar" meet the readers.
The former reveals the psychological trauma suffered by teenagers, while the latter reveals the family tragedy in a special era.
If there is anything that cannot be avoided in the literary and art circles of 1978, it is "Scars".
So Lin Xiaoguang also wrote a short story in the category of scar literature.
Although it cannot be compared with the sudden release of "Scar", it has also caused quite a stir among college students in Peking University. The scope of its influence is only slightly smaller than that of "Birch Forest", but the depth of its influence is only stronger.
Of course, when the author signed his name, he wrote it as anonymous.
He has relatively strict control in this regard. He has many pen names, but he intends to recognize only two, Lin Xiaoguang and Chang'an Jun. "Youth Digest" has published three issues, and he only recognizes the novel "White Birch Forest" and this song.
I don't recognize the others at all.
The November issue of "Youth Digest" was released, and the November issue of "Weiming Lake" was also released. The time was before "Youth Digest", but there were no songs, so maybe they didn't bother to follow the trend.
Currently preparing for the December issue of Youth Digest.
At this time, the Readers Association finally unanimously agreed and decided to jointly publish "Youth Digest" with Tsinghua Literary Society.
Representatives of more than twenty school readers' associations and people from the Tsinghua Literary Society gathered here to discuss the December issue.
"My idea is to set up a joint editorial committee to uniformly organize Youth Digest."
Lin Xiaoguang glanced at each representative, and when he saw someone was hesitant to speak, he said, "Do you have any comments? You can just say it."
He Yongqiang from the National People's Congress had a different opinion and stood up immediately: "Does this joint editorial board have a leadership function or a guidance function for the editorial boards within each readers' association, or is it a superior or subordinate?"
Since ancient times, the power struggle has been extremely fierce. Who wants to see the club in his school be led by another school?
Lin Xiaoguang shook his head: "There is no affiliation, it is just a loose alliance. You can regard it as a confederation. Each state is independent, and the joint editorial committee organizes to absorb some outstanding talents."
"What about the Youth Digest in the future? Will the joint editorial board be responsible? Or will the readers' associations be responsible?" Zha Jianying, a representative of Peking University, pointed to the core.
More than thirty pairs of eyes were staring at Lin Xiaoguang.
Lin Xiaoguang took his time and was very calm: "The editors are separated, and the publishing and distribution are also separated. Each is responsible for a part, and of course the funding is also."
He had no choice. The club's funds were limited. Five hundred copies of the September issue of "Youth Digest" were printed, which was almost used by the Tsinghua Literary Society. The October issue was paid out of his own pocket, and the November issue was collected by each reading association, but
In December, the Reading Association didn’t want to pay any more.
We are all in parallel organizations and there is no superior or subordinate relationship. Why should the funds of our own association be used by others?
"How do you say that?" Zheng Ying, a representative from Beijing Normal University, suddenly lit up.
"As for the nearly ten existing columns, this part is the responsibility of the joint editorial committee and cannot be modified. Each reading association can add some columns according to its own requirements to reflect the characteristics of its respective school."
"In short, everyone will take care of their own affairs based on the overall situation."
