Chapter 59 Literature is the ultimate dream

Is Jiang Nanchun a poet or a creative person?Is it an advertiser or a media person?Are you an entrepreneur or a capitalist?Faced with these dizzying and dazzling role changes, Jiang Nanchun himself may not be able to explain the reasons.However, according to an online blog of a childhood friend of Jiang Nanchun, he was an out-and-out literary youth before he went to college, "He said that he read Heidegger's "Being and Time" when he was in the second year of junior high school. It didn’t fall off. To be honest, I read Heidegger when I was a sophomore in high school. Although I didn’t understand it, I was secretly proud of it.”

And Jiang Nanchun quoted a sentence from André Gide on the title page of the poetry collection "Lyric Age": "How much effort we have made to make ourselves interested in life." Jiang Nanchun even admitted: "As for literature, I admire the Czech novelist Milan Kundera in terms of content, and agree with Borges, the representative of the Argentine magic school in terms of form." Because of writing poetry, it is not far from creativity; because of advertising, it is not far from the media; because of enterprises, it is not far from capital.One ring after another, following the rules of survival and the logic of competition, composes the pinnacle of career and the greatness of life.Accidentally, Jiang Nanchun was "forced" to become a media tycoon with a net worth of billions. This is the luck that he has no choice.

Jiang Nanchun doesn't have many hobbies, except reading and writing. "I don't like music and don't have time to listen to it. I can drink a little, but I don't like to socialize." If success must have a price, then Jiang Nanchun’s price is time, personal hobbies, even character, and the dream of being engaged in literature.Because what passed away with the university was not only love but also literature.In Jiang Nanchun's own words, he "became a very one-sided person". "I didn't work hard at school. The teacher talked at the top, so I borrowed books to read at the bottom. My memory is very good. When I take the math test, I also rely on my memory. I read too many examples. When doing a question, I don’t think about how to solve the problem. I don’t know the method, but I think about where I have seen this question, which example question is similar to it, and how to recall the example question... Basically, it is used for Chinese and political methods. Come and do mathematics, physics, chemistry, and even biology." Jiang Nanchun, who has a net worth of hundreds of millions, smiled when he said this, looking like a big boy, "but I am most interested in writing."

However, in the first paragraph of the preface of "The Age of Lyrics", Jiang Nanchun wrote: "Writing is already an extremely difficult thing for me now, even if I write a poem for the poems I left in college Preface. When I think of my life on the campus of Normal University many years ago, it always makes me feel like the end of the road. The peak moment in my life has really passed. I remember that my nights were longer than the days.” Since elementary school, Jiang Nanchun's talent and advantages in literature have been revealed: every composition is praised by the composition teacher, and he has won many awards in composition.During high school, he won the first prize in the composition competition for middle school students in Shanghai.This is the pride of Jiang Nanchun's life, and it is this composition competition that gave Jiang Nanchun the opportunity to enter the campus of East China Normal University for the first time. "I should study in such a beautiful campus in the future." Jiang Nanchun secretly made up his mind at that time.A year later, Jiang Nanchun was recommended to study in the Chinese Department of East China Normal University because of his victory in the composition competition.

Entering the charming East China Normal University, Jiang Nanchun failed to continue his love for literature. "In fact, I only took one semester class. When I went to take the exam, I didn't know the teacher at all, and I didn't know what subject to take... Later, when I graduated from university, the teachers at the Normal University discussed that this student had never taken a class. Should he be expelled, or let him graduate. In the end, I was still allowed to graduate. Some time ago, when I went back to Normal University, I was still joking that if I hadn’t been born in the Chinese Department or East China Normal University, I would have been dismissed a long time ago. Expelled..." However, his classmates said it differently. Jiang Nanchun was an active member of the class at that time, and had a good relationship with the teachers. Because of this, he often didn't go to class after going to sea. The teacher They didn't make it difficult for him.

However, Mr. Li Mingjie, Jiang Nanchun's college counselor, said that Jiang Nanchun was not particularly outstanding when he was in college, because there were too many talented men and women in the Chinese Department at that time.At that time, Fudan University and East China Normal University had the highest scores in Chinese subjects in literature, history and philosophy, and the talented elites gathered here, which can be described as a "gathering of heroes". No matter how brilliant Jiang Nanchun is now and how prosperous his career is, literature is still his ultimate dream, just as Jiang Nanchun wrote in his collection of poems: "When I am in my old age, holding this collection of poems alone, quietly Sitting on the wide balcony with heart, staring into the distance, recalling the long past and those peaceful and beautiful times, I thought, maybe that is all I have.”
