Chapter 244 Domestic Publishing
During dinner, Zhao Yanshu told her the good news, "Professor Li is already prepared and will start the counterattack tomorrow."
"Really?" Lin Yuzhu was finally happy after hearing this. Zhao Yanshu had suffered too much injustice in the past few days, and it was finally their turn to fight back.
"Well, don't worry. Professor Li knows that I have been wronged. He said that he would compensate me later and helped me get some benefits. Maybe this time it will be a blessing in disguise."
"Really? What's the benefit?"
"You'll find out soon enough."
"Um?"
It was rare for Zhao Yanshu to keep her in suspense, which made Lin Yuzhu even more curious.
But this time he didn't say anything no matter how I asked.
Even though Lin Yuzhu was itching to do so, she could only wait.
When I went to work the next day, as expected, there were fewer articles criticizing him in the newspapers, and more rational analysis. Many articles called on everyone not to be blindly misled by others. After all, no one has read books published abroad, so how can you believe what others say?
Some people also revealed that Zhao Yanshu donated part of his royalties to the embassy for living expenses of international students, which changed the views of some people who did not know the truth about him.
In the following days, there were fewer and fewer criticisms, and this incident sparked more discussions among some well-known scholars and professors about the domestic ideological environment.
Many people have published articles and reflected on themselves, asking whether we should not let foreigners see the real life in China. Will Chinese people feel inferior about their poverty?
At this time, an article was published in the People's Daily with the title "The country cannot only see the good, but also see the darkness at the bottom."
The content is roughly that Chinese people should accept the facts and realize the gap between themselves and developed countries. Only by recognizing the gap can we have the determination to change. We are not bad, we are just still catching up. What we need to do now is to keep a low profile, develop in a low profile, and strive to catch up.
We must not look down on ourselves. We must believe in ourselves and our country. Even though China is indeed not as good as others at the moment, we must be determined to change this situation!
When this article came out, ordinary people who read it were excited, especially college students. Many schools held several speeches on this topic, and students' learning attitude became more serious.
As people's attention shifted, the discussion about Zhao Yanshu gradually disappeared.
Lin Yuzhu had just breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the People's Literature Publishing House suddenly issued a notice.
They first reflected on their own mistakes, saying that they had previously refused to publish the book "Going Home" simply because the content was too dark.
But after reflection, they think they were wrong. They admitted that they thought this was a good book at the beginning, but the content did not conform to the mainstream environment in the country at that time.
But now think about it, isn't it like covering one's ears and stealing the bell to blindly pursue light? Beauty is good, but is there no darkness in the world?
Only by seeing the darkness can the country and the people make progress, so they should not only show everyone beautiful stories.
Therefore, the People's Literature Publishing House has decided to officially release the controversial book "Going Home" in China starting next week.
Let the people come and evaluate it and see what this book is like. The publishing house also welcomes readers to write in and give their comments.
This statement caused a sensation as soon as it came out, and Zhao Yanshu was pushed to the forefront again.
This also made Lin Yuzhu's heart, which had just been put at ease, rise again...
