Chapter 51 Next Work
"It's well written! Especially the opening paragraph, which vividly displays an old father's love and expectations for his children! Is this your personal experience?" Qiu Jianfeng only flipped through a few pages and was attracted by the eye-catching beginning.
"My parents are more introverted, and unfortunately, for some reason, they didn't have the chance to experience the surprise of suddenly receiving a college admission letter! This is what I heard from freshmen from other colleges on my way to report to the school, and I kept it in my heart!" Gao Jialin had already thought of a reason.
Qiu Jianfeng immediately recalled all the legends about Gao Jialin, and hurriedly comforted him, "Fortunately, you discovered the problem in time. Thanks to your report, other colleges and universities across the country have found some impostors in the past few months. Now they have all received the punishment they deserve, and the students they replaced have finally entered the university campus. This is all thanks to you!"
"This is the most correct thing I have ever done in my life! That letter was not only written for myself, but also for all the students who suffered injustice like me!" Gao Jialin had seen these things in the newspaper before, and Zhang Lifeng also said it in the letter.
He was very pleased. Even if he couldn't completely eliminate this phenomenon, it would be good if he could save even one more person.
"I will read your work carefully. I hope you can write more works that reflect the outlook of contemporary college students in the future!" Qiu Jianfeng encouraged. A novel of nearly 100,000 words could definitely not be finished in such a short time, but from the opening fragment, he could already be sure that this was indeed a good work.
After Gao Jialin left, Qiu Jianfeng closed the door and read the book slowly. The more he read, the more satisfied he was. He could see some shadows of Pujiang College in the novel, which helped the school to shape its image very well. The only regret was that Gao Jialin wrote about Shanghai College in the book, not Pujiang College.
Pujiang College must cherish having such a student. This year, a place must be reserved for him among the outstanding students in the school. But Qiu Jianfeng still felt that it was not enough, so he picked up the phone and called Zhang Min.
"Students like Gao Jialin who are talented and principled must be cherished. Can we give him more responsibilities next year?"
"Yes, I think so too. He is a talent who is good at writing and organizing activities. He is exactly what our student union needs. Let him train for a year. When the student union changes its term next year, I think he can at least become the propaganda minister!"
"Well, keep paying attention. If he can make achievements in the next semester and a half, then it's okay to recommend him again!" Qiu Jianfeng has already included Gao Jialin in the list of candidates for the next president of the school student union.
Back in the dormitory, the students who had already heard the news once again filled 404, staring at the sample magazine in Gao Jialin's hand with burning eyes, "Jialin, is this the sample magazine? Can you show it to us?"
"Everyone, just take a look and don't damage them!" Gao Jialin took a few books and handed them over.
The person who received it felt like he had found a treasure. He immediately turned to the page "Young Friends Come to Meet" and began to read it carefully. The classmates around him quickly gathered around, craning their necks and staring with wide eyes to read along.
But there were so many people gathered in the dormitory, they did see it, and the people behind them became anxious.
Gao Jialin had no choice. There were only a few sample copies, one for each teacher, plus some for his roommates. He had distributed all the copies that could be circulated, and there was no way they could get any more!
Fortunately, the school radio came to his rescue.
"A special piece of good news: the novella "Young Friends Come to Meet" written by Gao Jialin, a freshman in the Chinese Language Department of our school, has been successfully published in the first national youth original literature magazine "Mengya" magazine."
"The history of Mengya magazine can be traced back to the 1930s, when Mr. Lu Xun founded Mengya Monthly, aiming to cultivate more outstanding young writers. Mr. Ba Jin wrote an inscription for Mengya. Mengya inherited Mr. Lu Xun's spirit and has become the literary magazine with the greatest influence on young readers today."
After hearing the voice on the radio, the students looked at Gao Jialin differently. If they were envious just now, now they were simply admiring him.
Lu Xun and Ba Jin, these are figures in textbooks. I didn't expect that Gao Jialin could be related to them now. What a great honor! They had countless things to say to Gao Jialin. Seeing this, Gao Jialin's scalp was numb. How could he handle so many people rushing over? At this time, a new voice came from the radio, "From today on, the school radio station will read the novel "Young Friends Come to Meet" for everyone. Now let's start with the first chapter "Goose Father"."
"On an ordinary day in July 1984, 18-year-old Sun Shaoping and his father Sun Yuhou were busy working in the fields"
The entire dormitory floor became silent. Everyone listened quietly to the voice coming from the radio. No one knew who took the lead, but everyone moved lightly and returned to their own dormitories. Then they sat down quietly and pricked up their ears, responding to the voice on the radio with varying degrees of sadness and joy.
Anyone who makes any noise during this process will immediately be met with countless angry looks, and it is absolutely unforgivable to disturb their listening to the book.
Gao Jialin finally calmed down. He quickly closed the dormitory door and distributed sample magazines to his roommates. After receiving the sample magazines, they were no longer in a hurry to learn the story from the radio. While flipping through the novel, they asked Gao Jialin about the creative process and how he came up with these distinctive characters.
"The prototype of Zhong Yuemin was an educated youth I knew when I was a child. Other educated youths all had sad faces when they arrived in northern Shaanxi, but he was different. He was cheerful every day and full of curiosity about everything."
"Yu Shanqing was based on a passenger I met on the train. He was not a student, and I wondered what such a person would be like in college."
Gao Jialin answered their questions one by one, but they stopped talking because they were already immersed in the plot of the novel and had no time to talk to Gao Jialin.
Finally there was some peace and quiet. Gao Jialin quickly picked up the teacup and took a few sips. His mouth had been busy all afternoon, explaining things to his teachers, leaders and classmates.
Go back to your bed, lie down, and relax your mind.
After more than ten minutes, Gao Jialin finally recovered and began to think about what to write next. He had not yet collected enough money to help his family build a new kiln for the New Year, and it would cost money to go out for a good meal with Niu Xinliang on the weekend, so he had to make money quickly.
After much thought, I found a few works that could be copied. However, even if I had the prototype in my mind, copying serious works was a bit tiring.
Otherwise, why not change direction and do something that the general public will like?
