When Guo Fan opened the comments section, he found that the number of comments was increasing exponentially.
"Why don't they eat meat porridge? Hahaha, allow me to laugh for three minutes. Now, Ye Moumin will be forever nailed to the pillar of shame!"
"The analysis that humans and apes are of the same species is absolutely brilliant; some people must be jumping up and down in frustration."
"If there is no torch left, I will be the only light!" I burst into tears upon seeing this sentence! I felt a sudden clarity and awakening within me! The most important thing for a person is to be true to themselves! There's no need to pay attention to the cold words and false arguments of others! Thank you, Zhan Chengwen! You are a true idol!
"This comparison clearly shows who is superior! Lin said that our God Zhan is unconventional, but God Zhan's theory of human origins puts Lin at the monkey's table, hahaha!"
Lin suggested that college students take off their long gowns, and Zhan Ge immediately created an absurd character with the famous saying "Why don't they eat meat porridge?"
I suddenly remembered a suggestion Lin Moumin once made: he suggested that farmers buy houses in the city and drive back to the countryside to farm.
To be honest, Lin Moumin really resembles that ancient emperor who famously asked, "Why don't they eat meat porridge?"
Our James is truly generous; he doesn't mince words, letting us fireflies learn to shine and generate heat on our own, without waiting for a torch.
Speaking of fireflies, I suddenly thought of what the doll sister said: "You are like a firefly in the dark night, so bright and so outstanding!"
Ahem, wrong channel. Anyway, Lin Moumin, you're really stupid!
…
Since Zhan Chengwen released "I Love This Land", his popularity has never waned.
Subsequently, the famous writer Wu Wencai exposed Zhan Chengwen's background, and Zhan Chengwen was immediately subjected to widespread condemnation.
However, with Zhan Chengwen's sharp rendition of "Confession," Wu Wencai was utterly defeated, and countless netizens flooded the comment section of his Weibo account, ultimately forcing him to disable the comment function.
The popularity of the Zhan Chengwen incident suddenly reached a peak, becoming a major internet event.
At this time, Wu Wencai's friend, the famous scholar Lin Hwai-min, also stepped in, angrily denouncing Zhan Chengwen for being unconventional and unwilling to work diligently, and suggested that contemporary college students take off their long gowns.
Now, with the release of Zhan Chengwen's video titled "Torch," its popularity has surpassed all previous peaks.
Weibo was completely crashed.
When the staff finished their emergency repairs and Weibo returned to normal, the top five trending topics were all about this incident.
#ZhanChengwen# Torch
Why not eat meat porridge?
Humans and apes are the same species #unconventional#
I am the only light.
No need to wait for the torch#
Zhan Chengwen has become incredibly famous, his fame has spread beyond his immediate circle.
His words and poems are being quoted on major video platforms and in social media chats.
His fan base on Douyin suddenly exploded, reaching an astonishing 30 million followers!
With Ye Huaimin's defeat once again, some people couldn't sit still any longer.
Qin Yiku, a member of the Writers Association and a renowned writer whose works depicting rural life sell very well, posted an article:
"I was shocked to hear that my good friend Lin Hwai-min was hospitalized due to a sudden heart attack."
After hearing my friend recount the whole story, I couldn't help but sigh at how quickly morality has disappeared with the development of the internet.
As a writer, I should be more objective in my view of the world.
As an outsider, I don't know who to criticize; it seems like no one is right.
However, as an elderly man who has dedicated most of his life to the literary world, Lin Hwai-min deserves respect.
Moreover, respecting the elderly is a traditional virtue passed down for thousands of years, and we cannot lose it.
The literary world should ideally be positive and benevolent, and should not tolerate those who lack moral character or are narrow-minded.
Seeing Qin Yiku's post, netizens were not convinced, and countless netizens flooded his comment section.
"Oh, so you're resorting to moral blackmail! Respecting the elderly is fine, but the elderly person must be worthy of respect! And you're indirectly saying that Zhan Shen is petty. Does that mean only you are allowed to post on Weibo, but others can't say anything?"
Hilarious! It really proves what LeBron James said: "Should unsuccessful people like us just shut up?"
"I have carefully read Lin Hwai-min's most famous work, 'Iron Horse Bridge'."
Perhaps my own level is too low; I only have a master's degree in literature and can't see that this book, which is touted as a real-life epic, is not realistic at all, and therefore cannot be called an epic.
The main content of the book tells the story of a widow and three bachelors who, after decades of ups and downs, eventually raise the three children she had with her deceased husband to adulthood.
The story ends with the widow surrounded by her children and grandchildren.
Her son and daughter both felt sorry for their mother for raising them all these years.
They deeply resented the three bachelors who had provided them with food, clothing, and other necessities, believing that they had tarnished their mother's reputation.
The three bachelors did not have a good ending.
One of them went far away and disappeared without a trace.
He was a man who made a living by collecting scraps. His hair had turned completely white. One day, he drunkenly crossed the road and was hit by a car, leaving him crippled. Few people saw him after that, and they guessed that he was probably dead.
He was sweeping the streets of Qianmen Street and lived in the most dilapidated house. He would occasionally laugh to himself, making people worry that he might suddenly develop dementia one day.
To be honest, the little schemes and psychological maneuvering described in this book are indeed very stress-relieving to read.
The book is an excellent novel. If it were renamed "Country Love Story" and adapted into a TV series, it could run from season 1 to season 13.
However, calling it an epic masterpiece would be a bit of an exaggeration.
Those who write urban fantasy novels online, who often seclude themselves for tens of thousands of years, witness the destruction of heaven and earth, and reverse time, should be called magical realism novels?
Moreover, in an interview video with the Literary Gazette, Master Lin Hwai-min said that this novel is a hymn to mothers.
She preserved her chastity and raised her children with great difficulty in such a harsh living environment, teaching them how to be good people. She is great in the role of a mother.
But then I thought about it, and something just didn't feel right. Isn't this a modern-day version of a hypocrite? And yet, it's being praised.
If you're going to sing praises to your mother, then stop flirting with other men and keeping them hanging on.
All I can say is that the novel itself is fine, but that interview was really hard for me to handle.
So the question arises: what exactly is the contribution of Lin Hwai-min's works to the literary world? Let's find out.
"Hello, Mr. Qin Yiku, I used to be a fan of yours. I have read your early works such as 'Turning Back to the Yellow Earth,' 'High Hill,' and 'White Skirt.' Your writing is concise, and the stories are well told, which can touch people's hearts."
But what about your later works? "Eat Drink Man Woman," "Bachelor Village," "Stockings," and "Urban Women"—each novel is more explicit than the last.
You said that depictions of sex are perfectly acceptable; the wise see wisdom, and the lewd see lewdness! The key is to see the social changes and the distortion of human nature after sexual repression, thereby gaining a better understanding of oneself and others.
Undoubtedly, as a novelist, you have excellent oratory skills, and with so many fans, few dare to voice opposing views.
But for you to personally engage in this online battle is a loss of dignity for a scholar.
You constantly talk about contributions to the literary world and respect for your predecessors.
It suddenly dawned on me that the literary world of our great Han Dynasty has always been controlled by people like you!
The arrogance in your Weibo posts is exactly the same as your descriptions in "Bachelor Village"!
You said that as an outsider, you don't know who to criticize, it seems like everyone is at fault!
This reminds me of what you said in your interview about "Bachelor Village".
You said, "Li Cuiyun, who was abducted, is certainly at fault; she shouldn't have trusted human traffickers so easily and lacked awareness of the dangers. Zhang Heitu, who bought her, is also at fault, but if he doesn't buy a wife, his family will be ruined. Looking at the entire bachelor village through his lens, if they don't buy wives, the whole village will perish."
Listen to this; this is your answer back then.
Oh, right, you also used the word "extinction." In the interview, you said the entire village "extincted," but on Weibo, you indignantly used the phrase "morality has "extincted" so quickly.
It's clear you're well-suited to writing cyberpunk fiction; the word "extinction" is used exceptionally well.
