Back to 1997, I became the originator of online literature

Chapter 103: News ferments and is used as an example
Han Er became more and more excited as he walked and looked.

The corners of his mouth had already risen.

He kept muttering to himself: "Good scolding!"

"Yes! Who dares to call himself a famous writer? Famous, famous works, how can a writer who has never written a famous work be called a famous writer?"

"Hehe, can Professor Wang Gongye bear it if he scolds me like that? Wang Gongye... this name sounds very noble! He's really lost face this time..."

……

Another city.

Guo Xiaosi saw what Cao Sheng said to the media on TV in a small restaurant outside the school.

He watched without blinking.

The envy in his eyes was very obvious.

Only when Cao Sheng disappeared from the news did he look away and lower his head to eat.

After taking two bites, he murmured softly, "A real man should be like this."

It is said that when Liu Bang saw the scene of Qin Shihuang's travel, he couldn't help but say this.

……

On that day, news about Cao Sheng's criticism of those writers and professors appeared in newspapers, radio stations, television news and other media across the country.

Seen and heard by countless people.

Media practitioners seem to be particularly interested in this kind of verbal battle.

It's simply a place that people are flocking to.

People are also very interested in this kind of news.

A fight between a new literary figure and veteran writers and professors?
This is very interesting!

These days, people have limited entertainment options. Although there are computers, most families still only have black and white TVs.

Those who own a color TV are considered to have a good family background.

Only a few people can use computers.

Many people have never been to a movie theater in their entire lives.

In this kind of environment, everyone is very keen on gossiping.

When I see something interesting in the newspaper or on TV, I will use it as a topic of conversation with others. Some talkative people can’t wait to share it with others.

It just so happens that the dispute between the old and the new in the literary world and the resistance of young writers against veteran writers and professors are very suitable as topics of conversation after dinner.

Compared to chatting about celebrity gossip, chatting about things in the literary world is more classy and respectable. At least it shows that you pay attention to the literary world and are not a vulgar person.

Teacher Zhang teaches in high school.

She loves literature.

She likes "Living with a Flight Attendant" very much and is considered a fan of this book.

At noon that day, she was overwhelmed with emotion after reading the news about Zhongyuan Yidianhui's response to those writers and professors in the newspaper subscribed by the school.

Halfway through the class that afternoon.

She saw some students in the class sleeping, reading extracurricular books, daydreaming, and making mischief, and she suddenly couldn't help wanting to share the story of Zhongyuan Yidianhui with her students.

She teaches Chinese and is also the head teacher of this class.

But this class is just an ordinary class. There are few students in the class with good grades. Most of them don’t expect to be admitted to university, and the mentality of just getting by is very common.

At this time, she wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with everyone.

She stood on the podium, took out the newspaper that was sandwiched in the handouts, and after shaking it open, she saw that the attention of the whole class was attracted.

She smiled and asked, "Do you know what's in this newspaper?" No one answered.

She pointed to a news headline and said, "Did you see it? A Little Gray in the Central Plains! Does anyone in our class know what this name means?"

"A little bit of gray from the Central Plains?"

"What do you mean by a little bit of gray in the Central Plains? What's so great about the gray in the Central Plains?"

"Are you the brother of Zhongyuan Yidianhong?"

"Teacher! I know you are talking about the pen name of a popular writer!"

……

A girl answered.

Teacher Zhang raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling everyone to be quiet.

When the classroom quieted down, she began her story. "Just now a classmate said it right. Zhongyuan Yidianhui is indeed a pen name of a popular writer. I don't know how many people in our class know or have read his works. Do you know? His first work, "The Days of Living with the Air Hostess", has recently sold over one million copies. Classmates, do you know what kind of achievement this is?"

Hearing that she was not talking about the textbook content, the students pricked up their ears and looked at her.

Someone raised his hand, "Teacher! I know! I heard that this is the best-selling novel recently!"

Teacher Zhang nodded, "Yes! This book is indeed the best-selling novel recently, and this book was written by Zhongyuan Yidianhui on this newspaper!"

In the classroom, students were whispering and talking.

Some people murmured: "Isn't living together against the law?"

Someone said: "Isn't this a banned book? It's not good for the teacher to talk about this in class, right?"

Someone else said: "One million copies...how much would that sell for?"

……

On the podium, Teacher Zhang continued.

"As far as I know, this Zhongyuan Yidianhui is only two or three years older than you. Moreover, his grades in high school should be similar to yours, because the news reported that he was a student at Huizhou Teachers College and only studied at a junior college level.

Ladies and Gentlemen! I know that many of you had no hope of getting into college when you took the college entrance examination.

But now that universities are expanding their enrollment, it shouldn't be difficult for those of you here to work a little harder and get into a better college, right?

I also know that many students in our class write good essays and their Chinese level is not bad. Think about it, Zhongyuan Yidianhui’s grades are similar to yours, but has he given up on himself?

No! Even if he failed to get into college, even if he could only go to a junior college, he did not go with the flow or just muddle through.

What is the atmosphere like in college?
You may not know this because you have never been to college, but I know that the courses there are very easy, at least most of the professional courses are very easy. It would be difficult for you to get into a university where the courses are not easy.

In short, once you enter university, you will find that most students are having fun, dating, and are very free.

But in this environment, Zhongyuan Yidianhui did not give up on himself. He is only a sophomore now, but he has already published two novels. One is "The Days of Living with a Flight Attendant" that I just mentioned, and its total sales recently exceeded one million copies. The other is "I Want to Become an Immortal", and its current word count is many times that of the first novel.

A classmate just said that "Living with a Flight Attendant" is currently the best-selling novel.

What I want to say is that Zhongyuan Yidianhui is currently the most popular young writer in our domestic literary world!

So, students! You must study hard! You must not relax, especially those students who have good Chinese grades and strong writing skills. You can really study Zhongyuan Yidianhui! He has already opened a way out for you and set a good example for you, students! "

Teacher Zhang spoke earnestly and sincerely at the podium.

The students had different expressions on their faces.

Some people looked surprised; some pouted and changed their lying position; some smiled and seemed proud of it.

In the original time and space, after Guo Xiaosi and Han Er became famous through the "New Concept Composition" competition, teachers in many domestic schools used these two people as examples to motivate students in their classes.

But now, Cao Sheng has become such an example.
