1977 passed, and in the blink of an eye it was 1978.
In the Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs Awards, Zhang Guorong took the last place and won one of the top ten songs with "Silence Is Golden".
He debuted for half a year, released an album, and won a heavyweight award for one of his songs, which undoubtedly caused quite a stir in the Hong Kong music scene.
In just half a year, Zhang Guorong won one of the top ten golden songs, became popular in Hong Kong, and his fame was on par with that of veteran singers.
Cheng Shufen struck while the iron was hot and released Zhang Guorong's second album.
The second album written by Zhang Qiurui for Zhang Guorong has every song at the golden level. It was released in March and sold 380,000 copies in one month, which instantly dropped the jaws of countless people.
This album not only consolidated Zhang Guorong's position in the music industry, but also pushed him to a new peak, making him a shining new star in the Hong Kong music scene.
The media rushed to report on Zhang Guorong's achievements, and his name appeared almost daily on the entertainment pages of major newspapers and magazines. The events he attended were always packed, with fans cheering him on crazily, creating a lively atmosphere.
Zhang Guorong's second album sold 380,000 copies, which made Cheng Shufen understand the distribution channels and gaps between Huaxing and record companies.
When various entertainment companies and record companies in Hong Kong saw Xingchen Dahai's ability to create stars, and turned an ordinary person into a highly anticipated superstar in just half a year, they were all envious and even didn't know where to find out Xingchen Dahai's address.
During this period, Zhang Qiurui received many letters from Hong Kong entertainment companies and record companies.
They promised Zhang Qiurui that they could give what Cheng Shufen could, and even double the promise, just hoping that Xingchen Haihai could write songs and create albums for their singers.
Cheng Shufen knew that sooner or later someone would find out Xingchen Dahai's address and would definitely contact Xingchen Dahai privately.
Not only did she raise the price for writing lyrics and composing music for "Starry Sea" to 5,000 yuan per song, she also wrote to Zhang Qiurui from time to time to deepen the relationship between them.
Cheng Shufen now holds the novel written by Xingchen Dahai in her hands and is in charge of its publishing in Hong Kong, which further binds this cooperative relationship firmly together.
Cheng Shufen knew very well that Xingchen Dahai's talent was immeasurable, and she had to use all means to protect this relationship and prevent it from falling into the hands of others.
She also had a hunch that as long as she managed the novel Xingchen Dahai wrote in Hong Kong well, Xingchen Dahai would not easily turn around and cooperate with others.
Cheng Shufen is well aware of this, so she always attaches great importance and caution to the cooperation with Xingchen Dahai.
She personally oversees the publishing process of each book, striving for perfection from editing and proofreading to cover design and even marketing and promotion.
She also understood that this was not only a respect for Xingchen Hai's works, but also the cornerstone of maintaining their cooperative relationship.
As for Zhang Qiurui's "Zhu Xian" published in People's Literature and "The Legend of the New White Snake", "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Farewell My Concubine" published in Xiaoxiang Magazine, they have all received positive reviews.
However, these days, scar literature is still the mainstream. Several novels about flying immortals, fantasy ghosts, and demons have suddenly appeared in the literary world. Some people like them, while others don't, which naturally caused some controversy.
Some writers of the older generation have reservations about such works that are detached from reality and full of imagination. They believe that literature should be a reflection of social reality rather than wild fantasy.
They worry that if such works become too popular, literature will lose its criticality and depth.
However, the younger generation of readers has shown great enthusiasm for Zhang Qiurui's works.
They believe that the fairy world in "Zhu Xian" is magnificent and fantastic, which makes people fascinated; the repaying of gratitude with one's own body in "Legend of the New White Snake" is deeply touching; the lingering love story in "A Chinese Ghost Story", and the tragic feelings that transcend life and death in "Farewell My Concubine" all deeply touched their hearts.
Although the novel written by Zhang Qiurui was controversial, it did not affect Zhang Qiurui, nor did her novels get removed from shelves or banned.
On the contrary, the greater the controversy, the more famous the novels written by Zhang Qiurui became, and the sales volume increased rapidly, making People's Literature and Xiaoxiang Magazine earn a lot of money.

This year is the first year of the resumption of the college entrance examination. Universities across the country have resumed enrollment. The educated youth who want to return to the city, the high school students who want to continue their university studies, and the factory workers who want to continue their studies are all studying hard, looking forward to this day.
The dates for the 1978 college entrance examination were set to be held from July 20th to 22nd.
The college entrance examination lasts three days, with two exams a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, so there is plenty of time.
The 1978 college entrance examination adopted a nationwide unified test with unified questions and time, and was divided into liberal arts and science subjects.
The subjects for science students' examinations include Chinese, mathematics, politics, physics, and chemistry. The full score for each subject is 100 points, and the total score is 500 points.
The subjects for liberal arts students to take the exam include Chinese, mathematics, politics, history, and geography. The full score for each subject is 100 points, and the total score is also 500 points.
English is also required, but it is not included in the total score.
Zhang Qiurui was taking the liberal arts exam and had already filled out her application form before receiving her admission ticket.
"Bring your pen, admission ticket, and scrap paper. Do your best on the exam. Mom will be waiting for you outside." After Zhou Guihua checked Zhang Qiurui's things again, she signaled Zhang Qiurui to hurry into the examination room.
However, when Zhang Qiurui took the college entrance examination, the examination center he was assigned to was coincidentally at Shaxian No. 1 Middle School.
This year, many people registered for the college entrance examination in Xingcheng. Since there were not enough schools in Xingcheng, the county-level schools under Xingcheng were recruited as examination venues, and a number of staff from the Education Bureau and teachers from major universities were selected to supervise the examination.
Today, Zhang Qiurui took the college entrance examination. The entire Zhang family, as well as Wang Shi and Zhou Tan, came to see Zhang Qiurui off to the examination room. This was an unprecedented scene.
"Mom, it's so hot. Why don't we go back first and come back when the exam is almost over." After Zhang Wenfu saw Qiu Rui enter the examination room and could no longer see her, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.
"If you want to go back, go first. I'll wait here for Qiurui to come out." Zhou Guihua looked towards the school gate without even looking at her second child.
"That's right." Zhang Ercheng echoed.
He was both nervous and expectant, because the first person in their Zhang family who was taking the college entrance exam was currently taking it. He hoped that Zhang Qiurui could be admitted to university and bring honor to their Zhang family.
