1978 Synthetic Writers

Chapter 78 New Issue of People's Literature
Students of Tsinghua University and Yanda University should all know that Tsinghua University is famous for its “Shui Mu Qinghua” and Yanda University is famous for its “a mess”.

Actually it is "One Tower, One Lake and One Picture". The "Tower" is the Boya Tower, the "Lake" is the Weiming Lake and the "Picture" is the Yanda Library. Students of Yanda University are more or less humorous.

"Teacher Jiang, that is the Boya Tower."

Like a tour guide, Cha Jianying chattered to Jiang Xian, "In our Yanyuan, there is an unwritten rule: no building can be taller than the Boya Tower."

"Can we go up and take a look?" Jiang Xian asked.

Cha Jianying had a strange look on his face, as if he didn't understand why Jiang Xian had such a strange idea.

"It has been blocked and the school won't let us go up."

"Jianying!"

"Jianying!"

As they were talking, a man and a woman came over excitedly.

"Why are you here just now?" Cha Jianying introduced: "This is Teacher Jiang Xian!"

Cha Jianying is a typical college student, with clear stupidity revealed in her eyes.

In social occasions, according to etiquette, the guest has the right to know first, and the younger party should be introduced to the older party first.

This bad thing still needs to be mastered.

Of course, Jiang Xian didn't care about this and shook hands with them enthusiastically.

Cha Jianying first introduced the girl to Jiang Xian. She had a slim figure and looked a bit playful.

"Her name is Wang Xiaoping."

"Wang Xiaoping?" Jiang Xianyi recalled and remembered.

She was the screenwriter of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "The Legend of Miyue", as well as the much-criticized "Turandot".

"Pingping can also dance. She performed 'Xier' in our school's art performance."

Xier knows all about it, right? The heroine of "The White-Haired Girl", one of the eight model operas, was bullied by Huang Shiren and her hair turned white overnight.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang. My name is Liang Zuo." Another boy wearing black-framed glasses introduced himself first. "I have read all your works and I like them very much! I especially like The Chess King!"

Good guy.

Jiang Xian is more familiar with him.

Liang Zuo is the eldest son of writer Chen Rong. His father was once the deputy editor-in-chief of People's Daily.

This man is a true genius. He is proficient in articles, poems, drums, and quick-talking. He wrote Jiang Kun's "Fantasy in the Tiger's Mouth" and Niu Qun and Feng Gong's "Thieves Company". He was also the chief screenwriter of the sitcom "I Love My Family", which is the TV series starring Ge Youpan. It's a pity that such a talent is envied by others.

Before he died, his family was penniless. He borrowed a large sum of money to prepare for filming, but died suddenly. He was left with a huge debt of several million with high interest. His mother was almost driven crazy. In the end, it was his younger brother Liang Tian, ​​who was known as one of the Three Musketeers of Comedy together with Ge Youxie Yuan, who worked hard to film and paid off all his debts.

Liang Tian is a real man. In contrast to him are his sister and his good brother-in-law. Liang Zuo helped his brother-in-law's career take off, and his brother-in-law slept with his sister. After Liang Zuo passed away, his brother-in-law immediately snatched away his computer, which contained all his works during his lifetime. It was the most valuable thing in his family. Wang Shuo was so angry that he cried and cursed, "This man is more Huang Shiren than Huang Shiren."

There is nothing he can do about it, after all, his brother-in-law doesn't even recognize his own son.

It’s Song Dandan’s ex-husband Yingda.

Anyway, Liang Zuo is just such a poor kid, and Jiang Xian doesn't mind making friends with him.

He was even willing to treat Yingda's grandson for free.

When those stupid netizens in the future read this, they all praised him for his righteousness. "Is it this classroom?"

"Yes, from the History Department."

Jiang Xian followed the three people into a large tiered classroom with a cement floor, an old wooden blackboard, a red five-pointed star painted in the middle of the podium, and mottled and torn white paint on the walls.

The classroom was full of people, almost all of them were students from the history department. The teacher of this class was called Deng Guangming. Jiang Xian had inquired in the morning and learned that this class would cover the history of the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties. He prayed that he could learn more about the history of the Tang Dynasty.

"Teacher Jiang, are you interested in history?" Liang Zuo sat on the right side of Jiang Xian.

"Yes." Jiang Xian said with a smile: "Especially the Tang Dynasty. I think the Tang Dynasty is very interesting. In the Twenty-Four Histories, there are two 'Tang Books' that record the history of the Tang Dynasty."

Liang Zuo was full of admiration, "You also know the Twenty-Four Histories. You are truly a man of great learning."

No wonder he could write a novel like The Chess King that has the style of the Ming and Qing dynasties! He should also find the complete Twenty-Four Histories to read when he gets back.

Nowadays, the age difference among students on campus is about 10 years, so Jiang Xian didn’t feel uncomfortable sitting among them.

When it was time for class, an old professor in his seventies walked into the classroom. He was wearing glasses and a dark Zhongshan suit, had white hair and a youthful face, and was thin.

This class was about the peasant uprisings at the end of the Tang Dynasty. Professor Deng Guangming was an expert in Song studies and he mixed in some knowledge points about the Song Dynasty from time to time. It was the first time that Jiang Xian knew that the historical Song Jiang was completely different from the one described in "Water Margin".

His rebel army was ambushed by Zhang Shuye and their retreat was cut off, so they had no choice but to surrender to Zhang Shuye and accept his amnesty.

But it was later proved that Song Jiang's surrender was not his original intention, but rather to preserve his strength. When the time was ripe, he raised the banner of rebellion again, but he soon failed and was suppressed and killed by Zhe Kecun.

Deng Guangming was speaking eloquently on the stage, but the classroom at Yenching University below was not as sacred as one might have imagined.

Can you believe that someone is smoking in his seat during class?
The teacher on the podium did not restrain the students from smoking and even thought it was a normal thing.

Because many teachers smoke too.

It’s a pity that I don’t have any inspiration for [Second-hand Smoke], otherwise I would have collected enough of them.

One class lasts 45 minutes, and one class is divided into two sessions. After Deng Guangming finished his lecture, the progress of [Tang Dynasty] came to (8/10)

"Teacher Jiang, please come to our house when you are free. My mother will be very happy to see you." Liang Zuo said enthusiastically.

"Oh, yes, I really want to meet your mother. I like her articles very much."

Jiang Xian particularly likes Chen Rong's novella "Middle-Aged Man", which was also adapted into a movie. It is so good that one can't help but be speechless after watching it.

The heroine Pan Hong was very beautiful when she was young. She played the role of Empress Wanrong and was the first Chinese artist to appear on the cover of Time magazine. She also holds a Guinness World Record for being the person who has won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress the most times, and those awards were in the 8090s and s.

Pan Hong really has the majesty of a queen. She is a real strong woman. Both her ex-husband and the actors who have worked with her said that they couldn't stand her style. She had no roles to play since she was 40 years old. With this trait of hers, she transformed herself into a professional wicked mother-in-law.

Jiang Xian was chatting with Liang Zuo when the classroom suddenly became noisy.

"The new issue of People's Literature has arrived!"

"He just arrived, right? He wasn't there when I went to the library this morning."

"Hurry and take a look, are there any good articles?"

"One of them is a novel by writer Jiang Xian!"

Cha Jianying, Liang Zuo, and Wang Xiaoping all looked towards someone.
