A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!

Chapter 131 This is definitely a well-deserved masterpiece!
To be honest, sometimes Lin Puze really can’t tell whether those who buy books are readers or victims?
You mean he's a reader?
Which reader would cry and look like he's dying after reading a book?

Other readers are calm when reading a book, thinking that there is a golden house in the book and they can appreciate the wonderful world from the book. However, the readers of "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" are...

No one said a word.

But the more you keep quiet, the more it looks?
It is precisely based on this situation that Lin Puze feels that there is nothing wrong with using the word "victim" to describe the book friends of "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood".

"Reading while crying, isn't this pure masochism?" Store manager Lin Puze slowly wrote this sentence in his work log. "It can be clearly observed that the age range of masochistic readers who buy "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" is steadily increasing."

In fact, for young people who have never experienced anything, reading a documentary book like "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" is a good way to make people feel happy.

Maybe they really don't feel anything?
Firstly, they have not experienced that era and do not know the cruelty of that era, so naturally they cannot empathize with it.

Secondly, they were inexperienced and simply could not understand the tragic heroism implied by Xu Sanguan's repeated choice to sell blood for the sake of his family?
On the contrary, when these middle-aged people read this kind of non-fiction books -

Instead, they have a deep understanding of it?

Store manager Lin Puze slowly recorded what he had observed over the past few days:

“No one can finish reading “Xu Sanguan Selling Blood” with a calm face, no matter if they are middle-aged or young.”

It can be said that "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" is a book with a certain reading threshold.

People who are too young cannot understand it.

It is difficult for people without a certain amount of life experience to understand what the protagonist of the book does.

However, if there is a group of highly educated people with a certain level of cultural literacy and their own unique understanding of literary appreciation, when they read this book -

This book is a masterpiece!

“Really, it’s so well written.”

Sitting by the window of the bookstore, the middle-aged man who looked quite elegant was reading with tears in his eyes while speaking some words with deep emotion.

“Isn’t this the literature of suffering that I have wanted to write throughout my life?”

“Isn’t this what I have been pursuing in my literary career?”

A detailed description of suffering and a penetrating portrayal of human nature.

Being able to write nonfiction to this extent——

If this can't be called a masterpiece, then what other book can deserve the title of "masterpiece"?

In fact, when customers are reading in the bookstore, Lin Puze, as the store manager, rarely disturbs them, as long as they don't go too far, as long as they don't act too unruly in the store, such as smoking and drinking, etc.
When encountering some emotionally agitated customers, he usually turns a blind eye?

But I can tolerate you letting yourself go a little in the bookstore.

But you can't be too presumptuous, right?

Seeing this middle-aged man, he was so emotional that he burst into tears and even shouted loudly, disturbing the customers around him.

As the store manager, Lin Puze couldn't help but speak out to stop him:

"Sir, please keep your voice down. This is a bookstore and please be careful with your words and actions."

Unexpectedly, he hadn't finished speaking yet.

A pretty and graceful girl suddenly appeared beside him:

"Sorry, sorry."

After expressing his apologies to the store manager Lin Pu Ze.

The young girl took a step and walked quickly to the middle-aged man who was out of control:
"Dad, it's time to go home."

Shen Yue never thought that one day, her father——

Will you also read the books written by Jiang Hai?
Especially when he saw that his father, whom he had always regarded as a role model for hard work and vowed to follow in his footsteps throughout his life, was full of praise for a person like Jiang Hai and even praised him repeatedly?

Shen Yue admitted that she was indeed a little overwhelmed!
"This book is definitely the most shocking book I have read in the past twenty years!"

"This author is definitely the most amazing author I have ever read." On the way home from the bookstore.

Shen Yue's father, Shen Xuelin, seemed to be immersed in the plot of the book and couldn't extricate himself for a long time.

Along the way, he kept telling Shen Yue about the book "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" and the author Jiang Hai.

All the classmates in the class knew that Shen Yue came from a scholarly family and her parents seemed to be college teachers, but few people knew that -

Shen Yue’s father, Shen Xuelin, is more than just a college teacher!
Shen Xuelin works at Tsinghua University and is the vice dean of the Department of Literature at Tsinghua University.

As a leading figure in today's literary world——

Her father was once nominated for the Mao Dun Literature Award!
It was precisely because the achievements of her parents were too dazzling that Shen Yue had never revealed the specific situation of her family to her classmates.

Everyone knows that Shen Yue’s parents are teachers, but did you know that they are teachers at Tsinghua University?

Everyone knows that Shen Yue's father is a scholar, but few people know.
This scholar was actually nominated for the Mao Dun Literature Prize?
The reason why I never revealed the specific situation of my family to my classmates was, on the one hand, because I didn’t want to appear too ostentatious. After all, those were the glory of my parents.

on the other hand
It's really shameless!

Both my parents are professors at Peking University and Tsinghua University.

As a child, Shen Yue only got admitted to Chengxi Opera?

It's really embarrassing to say this to others.

In fact, when Shen Yue was admitted to Chengxi Opera, she was still full of pride. She made a promise to her parents:

"Even if I fail to get into Peking University or Tsinghua University, even if I just go to an ordinary school, I can still achieve results!"

However, when she really came into contact with literature, she realized that if she wanted to fulfill the promise she made
How difficult is this!

She was indeed one of the top students in Chengxi Opera, but after Chengxi Opera, the honors she had received were compared with those of outstanding students from all over the country.
What is she?
It can be said that a large part of the reason why Shen Yue worked so hard to improve and study in a second-rate school like [Chengxi] is that -

It's because he wants his father's approval!

However, no matter how hard she tried, she finally realized something in despair.

In the face of absolute talent, so-called hard work is really not worth mentioning?
No matter how hard she tries, she can never compare to the achievements her parents had made.

Now, looking at the person whom he once looked down upon, he was actually praised repeatedly by his father, a professor at Tsinghua University who was always strict?

At this moment, a myriad of feelings suddenly flooded my heart.

Recalling what I said at the time:
"Jiang Hai, if you need help, I can ask my father to find some professors he knows to help you recommend books."

At this moment, Shen Yue felt so ashamed that she suddenly felt that she was overestimating her own abilities.

Help Jiang Hai promote his book?
Does he need it?

The books written by Jiang Hai were not only recognized by his always strict father, but even the famous teacher Liu Zhenyun highly praised "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood".

It is true that her father, Shen Xuelin, was nominated for the Mao Dun Literature Prize.

But Mr. Liu Zhenyun——

But he is a real winner of the Mao Dun Literature Prize!

If Jiang Hai can find a literary master like Liu Zhenyun to recommend his books, how could he be interested in the professors introduced to him by his father?

Thinking back to the things she had said to Jiang Hai without knowing her own limitations, Shen Yue felt more and more ashamed. She lowered her head and walked on the street by herself, feeling increasingly uneasy.

And her father Shen Xuelin seemed to have noticed something was wrong with her:
"Yueyue, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Yue raised her head and looked at Shen Xuelin with a hint of tears in her eyes:

"Dad, I know this Jiang Hai you're talking about."

“He is actually my classmate.”
