Chapter 2096 He Chen
On the morning of July 2, Yao Yihan personally hired a photographer who sleepwalking as a "j-young Fashion".
Coincidentally, on that afternoon, another person who was about to be hired came to j-young fashion and culture company. Unlike sleepwalking, the one who went to j-young fashion magazine, and the person who was looking for j-young Literature and Art Magazine.
He is a man in his twenties, to be precise, he is already twenty-eight years old this year.
His name is Hechen!
More than two years ago, in the winter of 2004, Hachen was the host in a small theater in Seoul. However, in his opinion, the host's job was just a part-time job to earn money to support himself. His main job was a poet, writer, and film screenwriter. Unfortunately, he was just a wandering poet, writer, and film screenwriter. Without a representative work, he had no fame, so naturally it was difficult to make a living by relying on it.
That winter, Hechen would go to a messy alley every Sunday midnight, walk into a midnight snack stall that has been running for many years, eat some spicy midnight snacks, drink some beer, and let some misty thoughts fly.
By chance, He Chen met Lin Bin in the alley.
Lin Bin is a worker at a construction site and a literary youth. His dream is to become a poet and writer.
That day, Lin Bin was lucky enough to publish a small poem in the evening newspaper supplement. For the first time, he turned his work into lead type and received a little royalty. He was excited that night, he called his uncle and second uncle who were working on the construction site to have midnight snack together. When he was having midnight snack, the excited Lin Bin recited his small poem directly at the midnight snack stall, which attracted the attention of He Chen who was sitting next to him.
He Chen developed an inexplicable favor with Lin Bin, who was acting weird. Perhaps he was sympathetic. He felt that a wandering poet, writer, and film screenwriter like him met a working literary youth like He Chen, which was a fate, so He Chen made friends and Lin Bin.
Lin Bin's poem at that time was written like this:
"If I say I love you
Will they say that toads want to eat swan meat?
Actually, I just want to hold your hand
If you can steal a kiss
Willing to die
But now I can only look at you from afar
Like a girl in the wilderness looking at her distant hometown
Those dark eyes that look through Qiushui!"
This short poem expresses Lin Bin's obsession with Han Jiaren, who is a crazy fan of Han Jiaren.
Lin Bin was very happy to know someone like He Chen. He felt that He Chen was not only a bit like-minded with him, but also willing to listen to and understand the thoughts in his heart that ordinary people think are strange. Every time Lin Bin meets He Chen, He Chen will give him books he likes very much. Lin Bin either can't afford or it is difficult to buy these books because they are too niche. For example, a collection of poems by a non-famous poet who Lin Bin likes is difficult to buy in a bookstore.
Because Lin Bin's unrealistic obsession with Han Jiaren, he slacked off his job and was fired by the supervisor of the construction site. Moreover, he thought about Han Jiaren every day, and he was restless, depressed and forgot to eat and sleep.
Lin Bin’s uncle and second uncle found He Chen and hoped that He Chen would help enlighten Lin Bin.
So, under He Chen's guidance, Lin Bin understood that Han Jiaren was like the sun in his mind, and he was like an iceberg drifting on the sea. His pursuit of Han Jiaren was in danger, because the sun was unattainable and unattainable, but the sun's light and heat were real. If the iceberg chased the sun, it would be warmed by the light and heat, breaking or even melting.
He Chen also arranged a good show for Lin Bin.
He Chen found Yan'er, who was Lin Bin's childhood sweetheart in the rural area of his hometown. The two had actually had love for each other for a long time.
One night, He Chen deliberately got Lin Bin drunk, and deliberately arranged for Yan'er to appear in front of Lin Bin and opened a room for them. So, Lin Bin and Yan'er had a man and a woman that night, breaking the gap between the two and thus confirming their relationship.
Afterwards, Hachen left Seoul. He quit his job as the host of the Seoul Small Theater and became a wandering poet, writer, and film screenwriter.
He was used to wandering, he had been wandering for many years, and he had never stayed in a city for more than a quarter.
This time is no exception. Hachen lived in Seoul for more than two months and left Seoul. This bustling and impetuous city in Seoul is both strange and familiar to him. The strangeness is that Seoul gives him a sense of estrangement, and familiarity is that he has seen all kinds of people in this city, including upper-class people, inferior people, life corruption, and struggle to survive...
From then on, He Chen no longer contacted Lin Bin.
And two years later, in the winter of 2006, Lin Bin returned to his hometown to marry Yan'er.
And this spring (the spring of 2007), He Chen, who was still wandering, accidentally read a magazine called "j-young Literature and Art", and suddenly saw Lin Bin's name. "j-young Literature and Art" magazine has a column called "Special Recommendation", which is used to recommend young poets and writers who are not very famous but have very literary talent. Three people are recommended in each issue, and Lin Bin was arranged to launch it in the "Special Recommendation" column.
This issue of the magazine briefly introduced Lin Bin's situation and also published three prose works by Lin Bin at one time. The introduction said that Lin Bin was a working literary writer who emerged this year. He has published dozens of literary works in many newspapers and magazines, and the most published is poetry, followed by prose.
The three essays published in "j-young Literature" this time are "The Iceberg of Wandering", "Struggle in Spring", and "My Bride Under the Moon".
In the prose "The Iceberg of Wandering", Lin Bin recalled the past when he was obsessed with Han Jiaren. Now he is relieved. The deep obsession at that time turned into a faint nostalgia now. Lin Bin said that although he was like an iceberg chasing the sun at that time, there was also a lot of fun in the process. Under the sun's illumination, his iceberg continued to melt, and that melt was also a beautiful process. The melted water could flood the cold of that winter. In any case, during the pursuit, his heart was clear and happy. Now the water has been injected into his heart. Whenever he saw Han Jiaren from various media, the water in his heart would surge undercurrents, but he was not afraid of this undercurrent. In his opinion, this undercurrent is a true portrayal of life emotions.
In the prose "Struggle in Spring", Lin Bin tells his life experience working in Seoul. He and Yan'er are divided into two places. He is in Seoul, and Yan'er is in his hometown and rural areas. But Yan'er is like the spring in his heart. During the days when he works and struggles in Seoul, this spring is always in his heart, giving him the courage and motivation to fight against the cruel life. Whenever he thinks of Yan'er in his hometown, he will be more diligent. However, he is unwilling to tell Yan'er about his hard work, and does not want Yan'er to share the heavy pressure with him. Lin Bin made a good wish at the end of this prose, hoping to return to his hometown as soon as possible, buy a dowry for Yan'er, and have a good man who is not cheap when he gets married.
In the prose "My Bride Under the Moon", Lin Bin describes his marriage with Yan'er. In the winter of 2006, he returned to his hometown to marry Yan'er. He said that this was not a luxurious wedding, but it was not simple, because the wedding carried a rich love. When getting married, Yan'er, wearing a cheap wedding dress, told Lin Bin that she felt warm and did not feel shabby at all. Lin Bin's eyes were moist, and he forced himself to cry because he wanted to see Yan'er smile more in his future life.
