Chapter 25 postscript

A while ago I attended a webinar on literature held by a company.My original intention was just to join in the fun and mix some fruits to eat.The symposium fell into heated discussions from the very beginning, from the writing phenomenon after the 1980s to literary technical barriers, the conference room was very narrow, but the topics gradually became grand.An uncle said sadly: "I would like to ask everyone, I now feel that Chinese literature has come to an end and is about to die. What do you think?" I didn't want to say anything at first, because the things in their literary circles are different from mys. It doesn't matter, I sell power distribution products.Unexpectedly, the host asked me a question, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer: "Chinese literature is not the Chinese men's football team. It is still far from the end."

In fact it is. How can literature die easily.Li Bai is dead, but Li Bai’s poems are alive till now; Su Shi is dead, but Dongpo’s poetry is alive now——Dongpo’s meat is also alive, but this is another topic—things with real vitality will live forever of.There is a reason why Chinese national studies have existed for thousands of years. If you want to die, it is easier said than done. What's more, not only is Chinese literature not dead, but it is much more lively than before. With the help of the Internet, it can really be said that "900 million of one billion people are writing, and 100 million are posting."Maybe the uncle will argue, "I'm talking about pure literature, not popular literature." In fact, in my opinion, they are all the same thing.If no one reads pure literature, it is dead literature; popular literature can also pull out high-quality stuff, and it was also a popular literary form in those days.How many articles have been handed down from the "pure literature" of the same period?

The topic is back to the pen spirit.Mark Twain once wrote in the preface to "The Adventures of Urchin": "Whoever tries to find a motive in this story will be prosecuted; whoever tries to find a moral in it will be exiled; whoever tries to find a conspiracy in it will be shot . ” He is worthy of being one of my favorite authors, speaking my heart. "Bi Ling" is also the same as this book. It doesn't have such a profound connotation, and it doesn't have the ideal of economical economy and revival of Chinese culture. Luzi, I hope everyone will pay attention. If you have to dig out the positive meaning of this article, it is probably only this: "People will die, but words and talents will not. The latter can transcend time." It can also be regarded as a part of my confidence in Chinese studies. way of expression.

So I have never worried about whether Chinese studies will die or whether literature will die or not. What I really worry about is myself. This novel has progressed for two episodes.To be honest, I'm not very satisfied, it looks immature in terms of technique, and a little pale in terms of fun, at least in my opinion, its reading pleasure is not as great as expected, which is hardly satisfactory.So readers who can persist until the end of the second episode, it is really not easy for you.In order to thank you for your patience and generosity, I have a little secret to share with you: I now know as much as you do about the upcoming third episode of the story -- yes, I haven't written it yet, not even a draft or an outline.
