"After "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood," Zhang Zhong once again surprised me. I want to thank Zhang Zhong for taking us to Chadong, Taoyuan, to see the most beautiful human nature. I often think about it.
In today's peaceful society, what are the responsibilities of writers, and I seem to have found some answers in "Border Town". Looking for the long-lost beauty in the lost way, peeling off the impetuousness, between people... And "Border Town"
The imperfect ending of "Border Town" also seems to reveal Zhang Zhong's thoughts, which not only symbolizes the violent impact of modern civilization on traditional culture, but also indicts the loss of traditional virtues in reality."
——Zhuang Yu
"Zhang Zhong surprised me. I have to say that I can always see surprises in him. When I saw him for the first time, I was already surprised by his appearance. He is actually younger than my son. To be honest
, this is really an unbearable thing, because it makes me feel that I am old, not the kind of physical aging, but the feeling of decadence from the inside out. However, I still have some opinions about "Border Town"
.Zhang Zhong is too cruel. Cuicui is so crystal clear and a rare girl in the world, but you are willing to let her end up with such a tragic ending. Don't tell me what the story is, Ben Tiancheng, you just wrote it by hand, I am also a writer
, you can’t fool me.”
——Liu Yuan
"Although I have strong objections to some of Zhang Zhong's poems, I have to admit that his novels are indeed amazing."
——Lin Ai
"If someone told me a few months ago that Zhang Zhong could write a novel like "Border Town", I would definitely not believe it. But reality is always so mysterious and mysterious, and a highly romantic work like "Border Town" is exactly the work of this man.
Written by a master of detective fiction.”
——"Chinese Publishing House"
…
After "Border Town" came out, there were almost no negative reviews. Major media outlets and literary figures all expressed their praise one after another.
In fact, it's not just "Border Town" itself, but it's partly because of Kong Zhou that so many people come out to praise it.
Kong Zhou had been scolding Zhang Zhong happily in the past few days, but he turned around and was named and criticized by the Ministry of Culture.
Although everyone didn't know what happened, they all associated this incident with Zhang Zhong.
Zhang Zhong had people in the Ministry of Culture, and everyone easily came to such a conclusion.
The style of the media has always been very realistic, and their ability to adapt to the changing circumstances is no less than that of a "chameleon". Among the media that are now praising "Border Town", several of them actively published articles in which Kong Zhou criticized Zhang Zhong, fearing that
There will be no chaos in the world.
Now that something happened to Kong Zhou, they were also afraid that Zhang Chongqiu would settle the score later, so they had a positive attitude.
These media have no bottom line. Even if others praise it, it is normal, but they can say anything.
"A leading figure in Chinese literary circles."
"To beat the crowd, the only hope for the Nobel Prize in Literature."
When Zhang Zhong saw these words, he was a little confused. Are these media trying to flatter him?
This time, almost everyone who had been in contact with Zhang Zhong came forward to speak, but Wang Yi was excluded.
Wang Yi felt miserable. When "The Story of Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" came out, he could still associate Zhang Zhong with scar literature, but with "Border Town" he had no shame in linking it with scar literature.
There is a Scar of Wool. Except for the open ending at the end, the whole story is incredibly beautiful. He couldn't pretend not to see this full of romanticism.
I just wish that old man Zhuang Yu could still rely on "Border Town" to find its roots. He lost this battle.
…
"Son, let me read you another passage. This passage is said by Zhuang Yu. Ahem, it follows "The Story of Xu Sanguan Selling Blood"..."
On Wednesday night, when the family was sitting on the sofa watching TV, Hu Huifang was holding her mobile phone, smiling from ear to ear, and read several other people's comments to Zhang Zhong in succession.
When Hu Huifang saw them praising her son, she was even happier than herself being praised.
Zhang Zhong, who was sitting next to him, just smiled and did not express any opinion. After a while, he said to Zhang Xingjun, "Dad, I will send Pengpeng to your store tomorrow afternoon. I have some things to do. I will wait until the things are finished."
Come back as soon as possible."
"Is something wrong?" Zhang Xingjun asked.
Zhang Dian nodded, "Well, let's go back to school."
Hearing Zhang Zhong's words, Hu Huifang also put down her phone and looked over, "Why are you going back to school? It's been so many years since you graduated, what else is there?"
"The school contacted me and asked me to give a speech. I had already agreed before, but I didn't expect that Pengpeng would suddenly have a holiday." Zhang Zhong briefly explained the situation.
Zhang Xingjun slapped his thigh and said, "This is a good thing! You should have told us earlier. What other stores should I visit? Tomorrow I will take Pengpeng to your school to watch your speech, so you don't have to worry about it."
"You can't watch it in your store? Besides, you couldn't watch it in the past. The lecture was indoors." Zhang Zhong said.
"It's not a big deal if the store closes for a long time. Isn't this your speech? It shouldn't be difficult to reserve a seat." Zhang Xingjun said with a smile.
Hu Huifang also smiled and said, "If you can keep one, leave one for me. I'll adjust the class and go and have a look tomorrow. I haven't seen your speech yet. The last time you went to accept the award, I was also on TV."
Seen.”
Zhang Zhong looked a little bitter. In fact, it would not be difficult for him to reserve a seat, and the school would definitely give him face.
But he didn't want to take them there. Although it was just a speech in school, it might attract media attention. If media with no professional ethics caught it, his parents and Peng Peng might be exposed.
But looking at the expectant looks in his parents' eyes, Zhang Zhong didn't want to let them down, so he nodded, "I'll ask the school to see if they can arrange a seat for you. But I will definitely not be able to take care of you then."
"Don't worry, do we still need your care?"
Zhang Zhong shook his head, "I'm not worried about you, but you must keep an eye on Pengpeng. Don't let me talk from above and she suddenly jumps below."
Hu Huifang laughed, "It's really possible, but don't worry, I will definitely cover Pengpeng's mouth when the time comes."
Pengpeng, who was watching TV, suddenly felt something. He turned to look at grandma, his eyes were wide open, and he asked with confusion, "Grandma, do you want to cover my mouth?"
"No, you heard wrong. I said I would take you to play tomorrow."
"Playing?" When talking about eating and playing, Pengpeng will show a special expression, like a smile, but also look particularly quirky.
The apple muscles and pear dimples on her face will become very obvious at this time.
Although she had seen this expression many times, Hu Huifang was still amused by her, stretched out her arms to hold her in her arms, and said with a smile: "Well, I will take you to your father's university."
