For the editors of People's Daily, Haizi's manuscript was definitely something everyone wanted to be the first to see.
So, when an editor said that he had received Haizi's latest novel "Drawing Sword", all the editors, including the editor-in-chief Zhang Guangnian, gathered together.
"Oh! It's really Haizi's manuscript, so good. It turns out that Haizi hasn't submitted any manuscripts for such a long time, and he is holding back to write something big!"
"Go away! What are you saying? How can you describe it like that? It's totally disrespectful."
"'Drawing Sword'? What kind of novel is Haizi going to write? It's so thick, it must have a lot of words, right?"
"Anti-Japanese novels! Oh my God! Haizi has transformed himself again. He no longer writes scar literature like Scars, but instead writes novels about the period of the Anti-Japanese War. It seems to be about the story of the commander of an independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army..."
"Hurry, hurry! Take it apart and have a look together. Hurry up."
…
After the first editor who discovered it read the first page, everyone started scrambling to read it.
There is naturally no false reputation under such a great name.
Lin Huowang's pen name, Haizi, is no longer the unknown newcomer he was when he submitted his work Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Bloom.
Today, Haizi can be said to be the most famous poet and writer among China's new generation of literary circles.
Both his poems and his novel "Scars" have been recognized and acknowledged by most experts in the literary field.
Not to mention, the fanatical admiration for Haizi by the vast number of young literary people has made him a popular idol.
"Great! That's great. I never thought that a literary creation with the Anti-Japanese War as the background could be so innovative.
The image of Li Yunlong, the leader of the independent regiment, who enjoys taking revenge, is so... so vivid.
Moreover, I have checked the information and know that among the cadres of our Eighth Route Army, there are many officers and soldiers like Li Yunlong who have bandit spirits but are dedicated to resisting the Japanese and can fight tough battles. "
The first editor to see "Drawing Sword" exclaimed that it was very exciting after reading a large chapter, and did not hesitate to praise "Drawing Sword" at all.
After he said this, many editors who had not yet received their turn to work on the first chapter of "Drawing Sword" felt as if their hearts were tickled and they felt extremely itchy, and they quickly leaned their heads over.
Fortunately, these editors read manuscripts very quickly on a daily basis, reading ten lines at a glance.
soon……
Most of the book "Drawing Sword" was circulated in the editorial department of "People's Literature".
Yes!
To be on the safe side, Lin Huowang did not send out the entire copy of "Drawing Sword", but only half of it. The plot was probably about Li Yunlong and others attending military academy, and had not yet touched upon the sensitive plot later in the book.
Crash!
The first editor who finished reading these contents was so refreshed that he slammed the table and shouted: "Great! It's really great! Haizi's "Drawing Sword" will definitely lead to another literary craze.
It’s hard to imagine that he had just pioneered scar literature with his novel “Scars”.
Now, I am sure that once his "Drawing Sword" is published, it will immediately lead to another wave of "Drawing Sword" literature about the war of resistance against Japanese aggression."
"Great! Last time, Haizi published Scars, which caused eight out of ten articles published in magazines and journals across the country to be scar literature.
This time, our People's Literature will once again be at the forefront of national literary magazines, and once again lead a new trend with Haizi's "Drawing Sword."
"Editor-in-chief! Editor-in-chief, please give us your opinion! Can Haizi's "Drawing the Sword" be published?"
…
All the editors focused their attention on the editor-in-chief Zhang Guangnian.
Zhang Guangnian reluctantly put down the last page of the manuscript and said with a smile: "Such a brilliant manuscript must be published! It just so happens that the new issue is about to be printed, so I will withdraw the next manuscript immediately.
The first chapter of "Drawing Sword" will be placed as the first article in the new issue of "People's Literature".
Haha! This time our People’s Literature is going to be in the spotlight again!”
However, at this time, an editor cautiously raised a question: "Editor-in-chief, but it seems that Haizi's "Drawing Sword" has not been completely written!
What if we publish it and the subsequent content is not sent to us, or the content sent is problematic? What should we do then? "
"Tsk! Why are you worrying about this? That's Haizi! Has Haizi ever disappointed us?"
"That's right! Since Haizi sent the manuscript to us, it means he trusts us, People's Literature. We must not let Haizi down, and we must believe in Haizi even more."
…
In the end, it was still the editor-in-chief Zhang Guangnian who made the final decision: "Haizi's manuscript must be published, immediately!"
Not only that, Zhang Guangnian immediately let the editors present spread the news.
In almost an afternoon, the entire literary and art circle in Beijing knew that the great poet and writer Haizi was about to publish a new work, and it was still a new type of work that shocked the entire editorial department of People's Literature.
Crash!
The news spread from the Beijing circle, and telephone and telegrams were sent.
Within a day, all influential literary and artistic workers in China knew that Haizi had published a new work, which would be published in the next issue of People's Literature.
It immediately aroused everyone's curiosity, and people in the industry were speculating what literary form Haizi's new work would be in after "Scars"?
