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

Chapter 65 is about fighting against literary orthodoxy!

How can studying be called smooth?
Did I take your lighter?
I'm just keeping it for you.
Seeing Jiang Hai's alert look, Lao Wang immediately said seriously:
"What are you talking about? What do you mean by that?"

"As a teacher, am I the one who can turn on the lighter?"

I wonder if there are such people around you.
He never buys cigarettes, but he has cigarettes available to smoke anytime and anywhere?

Coincidentally, Lao Wang is such a person.

Although I don't buy cigarettes and I keep saying I'm quitting smoking, I haven't quit smoking for more than 20 years.
Is your smoking addiction getting worse?
As for why he never buys cigarettes, why is his addiction to smoking getting worse and worse?

The reason is simple, and can be summed up in one sentence:

"If you give me a cigarette, I'll take it. If you don't, I'll take it."

Lean on this to get a cigarette, then pack a cigarette, mix it up
I have been in this mess until now.

When Jiang Hai saw Lao Wang appear, he was still very alert. When Lao Wang asked for a cigarette, he refused decisively:

"I don't have any cigarettes."

"I saw it all." Not caring about Jiang Hai's refusal at all, Lao Wang walked to Jiang Hai very consciously, and then patted his left trouser pocket, "I say, kid, you are so young, why are you searching so hard?"

"Give me one, and I'll buy one for you next time."

Even though, I was extremely reluctant.

But due to the teacher-student relationship, Jiang Hai still handed Lao Wang a Yellow Crane Tower cigarette.

Two people stood in the corner of the smoking area, puffing out smoke.

The two of them were enjoying themselves, and the student-like readers around them continued to discuss:

"Let me tell you, this novel is really awesome! I read it from last night till noon today and didn't even sleep."

"It's no exaggeration to say this is definitely the most awesome novel I've read in the past twenty years!"

"The scene where Zhu Yuanzhang knelt down to beg for food from Gu Nan made me cry."

"I never thought that the reason Zheng He went to the West was to look for Gu Nan?"

"This author's imagination is really too big"

In class, Lao Wang and Shen Yue had a heated and complicated debate about the book "Two Thousand Years of Poor People"!
Although Shen Yue is usually serious, but when it comes to debate skills——

That's really a very logical explanation!
Lao Wang failed to defeat Shen Yue in the debate in class, and finally waited until the get out of class was over before hiding in the smoking area next to the toilet.

How can I still hear so many students discussing "Poor Ghost"? ? ?
It really never ends, doesn't it?

Hearing the discussion of these students, Lao Wang seemed to be quite sad. He smoked a cigarette and his eyes were lost in thought:

"When we read novels, we read famous works by famous authors, such as Gu Long and Jin Yong. I can't say I can recite them by heart, but I have at least read them a hundred or eighty times. These are the real classics."

"What is a novel? These are novels! Truly good novels are nutritious, can make you understand the philosophy of life, and will never forget them."

"Look at what you are looking at now, what are these?"

"This is a mindless and refreshing article. Not only is it meaningless, but it is also full of plain language."

"There are people who read this kind of novel? There are people who follow this kind of novel."

It should be said that the older generation, especially middle-aged people like Mr. Wang who are highly educated and have been baptized by traditional culture but cannot keep up with the pace of Internet development——

It is indeed difficult for them to take online novels seriously!
In their eyes, these so-called "online novels" cannot be called "literature" at all, they are purely dross!
Jiang Hai fully understood Lao Wang's idea.

After all, their generation grew up in the era of paper books, and they are naturally alienated from online literature. Although I understand Lao Wang's idea, I have a different view on Lao Wang's point of view.

Jiang Hai totally disagrees!
Previous online literature was indeed filled with a lot of meaningless "white text" and "cool text". It seemed that these cool online texts had no other function except to make the readers happy?

As for the insights and thoughts that reading this book brings to people?
This is even less true.
However, with the rapid development of online literature, a considerable number of online literary works have indeed emerged on the market whose quality and content are no less inferior to traditional literature!
These online articles are not only profound, but also have their own thoughts!
Times have changed, it's already the 21st century.

Why are there still people who try to highlight their sense of superiority over reading traditional paper literature by criticizing online literature?

While Lao Wang was talking non-stop,

Jiang Hai silently lit a cigarette, then turned his head to look at him:
"Teacher Wang, I don't know if you know clearly that when Jin Yong and Gu Long wrote martial arts novels in their era -"

“Are they also called aliens?”

Writers in the Republic of China period can be divided into many categories, but the vast majority of famous writers wrote essays, miscellaneous essays, traditional non-fiction literature, and short story collections.

There are many such excellent writers, for example:
Zhou Shuren, Lin Yutang, Shen Congwen, Qian Zhongshu, Yu Dafu, Zhou Zuoren, etc.
It is precisely because of the influence of this group of extremely outstanding writers in the Republic of China that since the founding of the People's Republic of China and the beginning of modern times, a considerable number of writers have been trying their best to imitate the style of this group of outstanding writers in the Republic of China. In the fields of traditional documentary literature, prose, and essays,

Shine and leave your own style!

It is precisely because of the brilliance created by the predecessors that in the literary world at that time, these so-called traditional documentary literature, prose, and essays -

It is hailed as literary orthodoxy!

As for martial arts novels and romance novels?

Were literary works on these themes not considered outliers in the eyes of the literati of the time?

But the result?

Although they were regarded as outliers by the literati at that time, when Gu Long and Jin Yong resolutely chose to delve into the field of martial arts themes, after writing a series of martial arts works that were completely different from the traditional themes of the time, such as "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and "The Twins of the Red Lotus",
Who else dares to say that they are outliers?

Although literary works like "Love and Love" were despised by the literati at that time, the situation has changed until now.
Who else would say that Aunt Qiong Yao’s novels are not classics?

Times are changing and technology is developing.

How can you be sure?
In a few decades, will the online literature that you look down upon now not produce classic literary works like "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and "The Twins of Red Dust"?

Jiang Hai's statement was clear and logical.

At one point, Lao Wang was speechless?

Lao Wang had tried to refute it, but when he tried to analyze the logical loopholes in Jianghai dialect, he found that
It seems like what he said makes sense?
Logically speaking, is it really impeccable?
"This" After a long silence, Lao Wang finally found a loophole after thinking for a long time.
"How can you compare yourself to Gu Long and Jin Yong?"

The reason why the masters are called masters is because they possess extremely terrifying talents and attainments in the field of literature!

Even if they don't write martial arts novels and specialize in other literary works, I think with their talents -

Should I be able to write good results?
"Individual cases cannot represent the majority!"

"Can online literature be compared to Gu Long and Jin Yong?"

Facing Lao Wang's questioning, Jiang Hai shrugged calmly:

"It's definitely not possible now, but how do you know--"

"I can't later?"

After saying this, Jiang Hai twisted the cigarette butt on the ground with his foot:
"Okay, Mr. Wang, class is about to start."

"I'm going back to the classroom first."
