2000/04/21 Sanlian Life Weekly Author: Hu Lun Let me tell you a joke, which is very popular, but it is still necessary to tell it here.There was a family in front of the Lord. The couple had three daughters, and they were always looking forward to having a boy. They hoped and hoped and finally gave birth to a boy, but the boy still couldn't speak when he was two and a half years old. Parents were very anxious, anxious. Hurry up, the boy could speak when he was 3 and a half years old, and he called him "big sister". Within two days, the eldest daughter died, and the second sentence the boy learned was "second sister". My sister is also dead, and the boy can call daddy again. Now the parents are nervous, saying that whoever the child calls will die, what should I do?Unexpectedly, after the child learned to call daddy, the daddy was quite healthy, and the old Zhang next door died.I tell this joke here to give a background to the following narrative.

After graduating from university, I worked in a publishing house. The publishing house naturally has a strong reading atmosphere. In the editorial room where I work, the female doctor Yi is the favorite to read books, but Xiao Yi's reading brings a somewhat terrifying effect. A few years ago, Xiao Yi was fascinated by English poetry. After reading the original translation, he read Mr. Wang Zuoliang's "History of English Literature", "The Realm of English Poetry" and "The Collection of Zhonglou".After she finished reading these books, the news of Mr. Wang Zuoliang's death reached the publishing house, and Dr. Xiaoyi sighed.

After a while, Xiao Yi became fascinated by French literature again, especially Dora's novels, which Xiao Yi admired very much, and he always talked about it. "Blue Eyes and Black Hair" is the most outstanding novel. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi had just finished reading the Du La novels he could find, when the translator, Mr. Wang Daoqian, passed away. Leaving aside the gossip, which writer or translator Xiao Yi is interested in, that writer will die—this may be a coincidence, or it may be the time for the masters to call their curtains—last December, Xiao Yi was reading Mr. Qian Zhongshu's "Guan Zhui Bian".

Our colleagues all said that fortunately Xiao Yi does not like to read the works of contemporary Chinese writers, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. The only contemporary Chinese novel Xiao Yi has read for many years is Wang Xiaobo's. After colleagues discovered the terrifying effect of Xiaoyi's reading, they told her the story of "the old Zhang next door died", and persuaded her to use her supernatural powers in literary criticism. In the first two years, this novel was very popular. , the lawsuits surrounding it are also very lively, so we persuaded her to read it to see if Han Shaogong will die. If Xiao Yi reads it and Han Shaogong dies, it proves that Han Shaogong was not plagiarized, but a real creation.

However, Xiao Yi will never tolerate her supernatural powers being used in such crooked ways, because once a critic of the "Old Babaner" learned of Xiao Yi's supernatural powers and specially gave her a set of "Wang Shuo's Collected Works". One critic hated Wang Shuo extremely. We don't want Xiao Yi to read "Wang Shuo's Collected Works", and Xiao Yi has never read it either.However, some people were afraid that if one day Xiao Yi accidentally watched Feng Xiaogang's movie and ended up killing Wang Shuo, that wouldn't be too bad.
