Chapter 5 Are You You?
"The 1000-degree cobra spits out a long letter and shouts to Mangmang and Titi frantically, I will never turn over..."
The hateful cobra described in "Mangmang and Titi" quickly resonated with primary and secondary school students across the country. The cobra became synonymous with the director of teaching, and the author Liu Jingting, who created this synonym, also became the object of hot chat among students.
"That guy is simply a genius. Cobra searches through the trash cans and tries to find the handles of Mangmang and Titti. Isn't it a copy of our Director of Teaching?"
At that time, in order to prevent primary and secondary school students from having an early love, the school often sneaked through the trash can and looked for clues about students' early love or writing aggressive remarks.
Liu Jingting's fairy tale sparked a cloud of discussion, which immediately attracted the attention of experts and the media, and was called the "Cobra phenomenon", so another wave of discussion on primary and secondary school education quietly emerged.
Liu Jingting did not expect that things had developed to this point, but the overall trend was still under control and the effect was better. As a college student who had experienced the Internet era, Liu Jingting knew very well that the power represented by the media in an era of information explosion was a bright double-edged sword.
After careful analysis and preparation, Liu Jingting accepted an interview with the Municipal Education Television Station and expressed the following meanings:
1. I am eager to return to campus to study;
2. Thank you for your love for his story, but the high school entrance examination is about to be imminent. I just want to study with peace of mind. I hope everyone will only pay attention to the story and not to him;
3. Call on primary and secondary schools across the country to create a good learning environment for students, and hope that teachers will love their students.
In front of the camera, the amateur, nervous but sincere Liu Jingting's aptly telling and expression left a profound impression on the audience, and it was very obscure but vividly portrayed an excellent three-good student who was forced to drop out of school by the dark forces of the school to the fullest. Especially his panicked but eager eyes showed a strong accusation of a middle school student of the brutal and indifferent teachers in the school.
The day after Liu Jingting was interviewed, the leaders of the Municipal Education Bureau personally cared for him, and the principal of the No. 1 Middle School in the city came to his house and invited Liu Jingting to attend their school for free.
As for the prototype of the cobra in Liu Jingting's original school, Director Wang was criticized by the teaching office and suspended his job. The principal and head teacher Zheng were also punished accordingly. The storm of Liu Jingting's withdrawal was successfully resolved.
Liu Jingting, who was editor-in-chief of the "Top of the High School Entrance Examination" and created "Mangmang and Titi", went to No. 1 Middle School to study, which caused a lot of commotion. However, due to Liu Jingting's own deliberate low-keyness and school protection, Liu Jingting quickly returned to the normal life of middle school students. However, this kind of life lasted for less than three days, and a strange girl suddenly found him.
A long navy jacket, loose trousers, blue cloth shoes, black shoulder bag, white headphones, fair skin, and a nearly mature figure... When Liu Jingting saw the girl in front of him, he still praised her in his heart, but as a college student soul, he would not be as drooling as a middle school boy.
"Hey, hello, are you looking for me?" Liu Jingting pointed at his ear and asked.
The girl took off her headphones, looked at Liu Jingting, was stunned for a moment, and said, "Are you the little boy writing about cobra?"
Liu Jingting's words were naturally clichés in his previous life and were not worth mentioning, but in this era when literary works were seriously scarce, it seemed unique. Of course, the main reason was that he could not tell Mi Hu that he had traveled through time or had a dream to get out of his mind, and he would just fool him in the mist.
After hearing this, Mi Hu really had no doubts about Liu Jingting anymore. He looked at the young boy in front of him in shock and said, "How do you want to innovate?"
"It's a long story. Let's go to the pavilion over there to talk." Liu Jingting wanted to write those books, first of all, to establish a good cooperative relationship with a publishing house. Of course, once his stories are born, a publishing house will contact him, but not all publishing houses have beautiful editors like Mihu.
The two sat down in the pavilion, and Liu Jingting continued to sell his literary concepts, starting with a question: "What do you think is the most important thing in a novel?"
Like a student, Mihu thought for a while and said, "Emotions, writing style."
Liu Jingting smiled slightly and said, "I think it is an interesting novel. No matter how emotional or literary style you have, no one will read it. If there are no readers to read it, what is the meaning of your feelings and literary style?"
"You are a popular literature view, it's too commercial," Mihu said.
Liu Jingting shook his head and said, "In fact, the two are not a relationship of either one or the other, and can be unified. Confucius said that poetry should be prosperous, observant, group, and resentful. Among them, this group means that readers pay attention to it. The story theory is too deep, and the song is too high and there are few people. Without audiences, what is the use of the truth? If it can be easily understood, wouldn't it be better?"
"It's very difficult." Mihu is known for being a newcomer and sharp person. She mostly agrees with Liu Jingting's words, but if she wants to elicit more words from Liu Jingting, she needs to express this opposite attitude.
"It's not difficult, but all the four great classics in China have done this, especially the red ones..."
"Four Great Classics?" Mihu asked in confusion.
Liu Jingting swallowed and suddenly remembered that there were four great classics in this world. There were "Twenty-Four Histories". They studied "The Three Kingdoms" but did not know "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". They knew that Tang Seng took the Western Classic and heard the story of Sun Wukong making a fuss in the Heavenly Palace, but they had never read "Journey to the West". Except for one of the four great classics, the other three are cumulative works, and are a sorting and interpretation of the legends and scattered stories of the predecessors by later generations. Obviously, no one in this world has done this job.
"Well, yes, in a few years, you will know that in short, I want to express that literary works that are separated from the people may not be good works. The stories I want to write are both spring and snow, and people who are young and old, and the whole nation is carnival."
Mi Hu looked at Liu Jingting and her expression changed slightly. She had never met someone who could completely suppress her in the debate on literary and artistic theory. The middle school student in front of her, both Ci Feng and existing works, showed vigorous ambitions, which made her unable to refute.
"Then have you had any idea about your next work?" Mihu said the real purpose of this trip, and wanted to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with this author.
