Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 594: One hour is equal to one year! News about the second sister in Gansu

Fangyan was a little amused and compared the relationship between himself and his younger brother to the brothers in Lu Xun's family.

The relationship in their family is much more complicated than that in the Fang family.

Everyone knows that Lu Xun has two brothers, the second brother Zhou Zuoren and the third brother Zhou Jianren.

Lu Xun and his third brother Zhou Jianren always had a harmonious relationship.

He provided a lot of help and guidance during Zhou Jianren's growth process.

Zhou Jianren was interested in biology, so Lu Xun supported him in learning relevant knowledge and created conditions for him to study and research.

Financially, Lu Xun often supported Zhou Jianren to help him with his life and career development.

Later, Zhou Jianren devoted himself to social activities and cultural work, and Lu Xun also gave him encouragement and support.

Zhou Jianren, the younger brother, also respected his brother Lu Xun very much and highly praised Lu Xun's literary achievements and ideological ideas. After Lu Xun's death, he also devoted himself to Lu Xun research and related material compilation, and spared no effort to spread Lu Xun's spirit.

As for the other one, Mr. Zhou Zuoren...

In his early years, Lu Xun and his second brother Zhou Zuoren had a close relationship.

They studied in Japan together, translated the "Collection of Foreign Novels" together, and walked hand in hand on the road of literary exploration.

After returning home, the two participated in the movement together again and became comrades-in-arms fighting side by side.

Many of Zhou Zuoren's views on the construction of literary theory have been supported and encouraged by Lu Xun, and Lu Xun's literary creation has also provided a lot of inspiration for his second brother Zhou Zuoren. The two brothers promoted each other in their literary careers and jointly laid the foundation for the development of new literature.

However, on July 1923, 7, Lu Xun suddenly recorded in his diary: "That night I started to eat in my own room and brought my own dish. This is worth recording."

Later on July 7, Zhou Zuoren personally sent a letter to Lu Xun, in which he wrote:

"Please don't come to the back yard again in the future. That's all I have to say. I hope you can be at peace and respect yourself."

At this point, the brotherhood was officially broken.

There are many theories about the reasons for the split.

Some people believe that the conflict was caused by family matters and financial disputes between the two. Lu Xun made a lot of money and shouldered the financial burden of the large family, while Zhou Zuoren and his Japanese wife Nobuko Hata lived an extravagant life, which led to financial conflicts in the family.

There are also rumors that it was simply due to the instigation of a Japanese woman, Nobuko Hata. Nobuko Hata controlled the family finances and was dissatisfied with Lu Xun in many ways, creating conflicts between the brothers.

In addition, there are also theories that factors such as differences in cultural concepts and political stances are responsible, but there is no definitive conclusion in later generations.

At this time, Elder Ye, who had just finished speaking, saw the strange expressions on Fang Yan and Fang Chen's faces and was the first to react. He hurriedly said to Fang Yan:

"We are talking about Lu Xun and the third child of the family, Zhou Jianren."

Mr. Shen also realized at this time that Zhou Zuoren and Lu Xun had a falling out, and it was indeed a bit inappropriate to describe him like this without mentioning who was the second or third child, so he also quickly agreed:
"Yes, of course I'm talking about Zhou Jianren."

After that, he deliberately changed the subject and asked Ye Shengtao:
"Hey, Lao Ye, he's also in BJ. We haven't seen each other for a long time, right?"

Mr. Ye took over the conversation and said:
"I met him at the end of last year. He is in good health. He lives in Xinwenhua Street, Xicheng District. He is preparing to write his memoirs with his daughter Zhou Ye. He is the healthiest among the three brothers in his family."

Mr. Shen nodded and asked:
"By the way, I remember he was a few years older than you, right?"

Mr. Ye responded:

"Yes, if you remember correctly, I was born in late October 1894, and he was born in early November 10. So he will be 1888 by the end of this year, and he will definitely invite us to celebrate his birthday."

Mr. Shen smiled and said:
"Hey, don't say that... Doctor Fang was right just now. Zhou Jianren grew longevity eyebrows when he was over 80 years old. Look, he's already 90."

Then the two chatted for a while, and then Mr. Ye asked the embarrassed little brother beside him:

"By the way, young man, how were your college entrance examination scores this year?"

Although the younger brother had a high score, there were many experts around him, and the scores of his elder sister and third brother were higher than his. He scratched his head a little embarrassed and said:
"It's just average, with a total score of only 334 points."

When Mr. Ye heard this humble answer, his expression was a little strange. This result was very good, but he could tell that the young man was really embarrassed and sincerely felt that it was just average.

He couldn't help but glance at Fangyan next to him, and thought of the brothers Lu Xun and Zhou Jianren. It was because the elder brother was too dazzling, and even if the younger brother was very good, he seemed a little dull when they were together.

Fang Yan also noticed Ye Lao's gaze at this time and smiled at him.

At this time, the leader of the Ministry of Culture said:
"That's pretty good. I heard from the people who grade the college entrance examination that there are actually quite a few people who scored over 334 this year. It's pretty good to be able to get over or . You've got a score of , which is already a very good result."

Fang Chen bowed repeatedly to the leaders of the Ministry of Culture. As long as he wanted to stay in the literary circle, these people would be his future superiors.

Today, his third brother brought him to visit the great writer Mao Dun, and he not only saw Mao Dun, but also Ye Shengtao.

I even met the powerful leaders of the current Ministry of Culture.

I originally wanted to make myself familiar to seniors in the literary world, but ended up getting a luxury package.

It can be said that the task of showing the face has been exceeded.

At this time, Mr. Shen took over the conversation and praised:

"Both brothers in your family are indeed good students. By the way, your brother applied to a traditional Chinese medicine university. What university and major did you apply to?"

The younger brother came back to his senses and responded:

"The Chinese Department of Peking University, I just received the admission letter today."

Mr. Shen was startled and said:

"Oh, then we are alumni."

"I was in the class of 1913."

The little brother nodded repeatedly and silently calculated in his mind what 1978 minus 1913 equals.
Another person who was also calculating was Fangyan. After hearing this, he couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Mr. Shen was admitted to Peking University at the age of 17. He was a rare genius at that time."

Hearing this year's top scholar praising him, Mr. Shen felt more comfortable than others, and said with a smile:

"Haha, Doctor Fang, I love what you said!"

The other people around were also amused by the old man.

Ye Shengtao, who was standing by, said:
"I was different. I didn't go to college. In 1913, I was still working as a primary school teacher in a town in Jiangsu."

His words made Mr. Shen laugh.

He said to him:
“Yes, but you started teaching Peking University students directly in 1921.”

Ye Shengtao said:
"It's a pity that Peking University couldn't afford to pay salaries at that time, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to teach at Fudan University in Shanghai."

Everyone: "..."

Fangyan sighed, he is indeed a person who has been writing novels all his life. Before he started to show off, other people had no idea what he was going to do. This time, he showed off like an antelope hanging its horns and leaving no trace.

By the time everyone noticed, he had already finished installing it. …

We chatted with the old men for more than an hour until Mr. Ye's Chinese medicine was ready. Fangyan and the others watched the old man drink the medicine, and today's chat ended.

After taking the medicine, Mr. Ye called home and asked his family to send him some clean clothes and the article he was writing.

Although the old man is so old, he still hasn't given up writing.

The leaders of the Ministry of Culture also took this opportunity to say goodbye to Mr. Shen and Mr. Ye.

They originally came here to visit their old leader today, but they didn't expect to chat for so long without realizing it.

The two brothers of the Fang family were also deeply impressed.

One is this year's top scorer in liberal arts and a talented Chinese medicine practitioner, and the other is a young writer of best-selling serial novels.

It's hard not to notice them.

After Fangyan and his younger brother said goodbye to the two old seniors, they walked out of Union Hospital and found that it was already dark outside.

The two of them hurried home, as they must have been ready for dinner by now.

On the way, the younger brother said to the dialect:

“I didn’t expect to meet so many people when I went to visit Mr. Shen today.”

Then the younger brother lowered his voice and asked:
"Brother, did you know that you would meet so many leaders from the Ministry of Culture today?"

Fangyan also shook his head and said:
"I just predicted that many people would come to see this person."

"After all, Mr. Shen is a respected senior. Although he has retired, the news of his hospitalization should be reported to his original unit as soon as possible. In addition, today is a holiday. According to the customs of our units, if the old leader is hospitalized during holidays, the current leadership team should at least send someone to check on him."

"But I didn't expect that everyone would come here, and Mr. Ye is here too."

The current leaders of the Ministry of Culture can only be referred to in dialect, which shows true respect for the old leaders.

Before, he thought it was someone from the Writers Association or the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, or some non-governmental association.

It turned out that it was a full mobilization of the Ministry of Culture.

But it makes sense when you think about it, communications in this era are far less developed than in later generations.

It will probably take a few days for organizations such as the Writers Association, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and non-governmental associations to receive the news.

Mr. Ye came here today simply because he is more familiar with Mr. Shen.

But he probably never thought that by coming to visit a patient, he would become a patient himself.

Now I have to stay in the hospital with my old friend for a week.

When I got home, it was already time to have dinner.

The whole family was waiting for them to come back.

The younger brother briefly told his family what happened in the hospital. They all felt that Fang Chen was very lucky. It was not easy for others to show up in front of these leading cadres.

Not to mention that I chatted with them for more than an hour and they took note of it.

There are also two respected seniors here.

I have to say, this time in just one hour, I accomplished what many people cannot accomplish in a year.

If Chen Kaige knew about this, he would regret not coming here today.

He claims to be a person in the literary and artistic circle, and the leaders here cannot be met whenever he wants.

Not to mention leaving an impression.

All in all, a fairly colorful Laba Festival has passed, and five days have gone by in the blink of an eye.

A few days ago, I arrived in Wuwei, Gansu, and met my second sister and learned about her current situation.

In the brief telegram, I described the current situation.

That is, my second sister doesn’t have a boyfriend, but she applied to Fudan University in Shanghai.

The results are out now. As expected, I passed the admission line. I am currently waiting for the admission letter in the countryside of Gansu.

My mother informed her family about the incident, but I don’t know how she felt. My father seemed a little angry and helpless.

The rest of the family just thought it was expected.

In addition, Dajin came back yesterday afternoon, but he did not hold a big banquet as planned. He asked his younger brother Yan Hua to notify Fangyan and said that he had some things to deal with.

Fangyan guessed that it was about the flower snake. At the end of last year, the kid found someone to cure his hand. Just like what Mr. Zhu had told him at that time, he has now gathered a group of second-rate guys.

Now that we know that Dajin has returned, I guess they are here to take revenge.

But things are different now. Fangyan now knows more policemen than all of Huashe’s younger brothers.

He immediately called Qin Nong, who promised to give Fang Yan the result within a week. Fang Yan asked Yan Hua to go back and tell Da Jin not to make trouble and just wait.

After agreeing, he left Fangyan's home.

The time has come to today, January 1978, 1.

Fangyan received two pieces of news that day. Some of his test answers were announced today.

Not only in newspapers, but also in the latest issue of "People's Literature" magazine, his college entrance examination essay that scored full marks was published.

This release caused a huge response.

People were talking about his composition everywhere in the streets and alleys and in every department of the company.

Even hospitalized patients would say a few words to Fangyan when they saw him.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fang Yan received another notice from the Capital University of Chinese Medicine at around noon.

After lunch today, the university will send him the admission letter.

And a grand ceremony will be held for him.

The location is right at the gate of the courtyard, and the school has sent people to their door to make arrangements.

Today, I will take this opportunity to give him double happiness.
