Generation Z Artists

Chapter 56: Human Day sets the tone [Happy New Year's Eve! ]

Coincidentally, Xiaolong thought so too.

It's up to me how we deal with that jerk next!
After returning, he called together all his best brothers and sisters and held a mobilization meeting.

At the meeting, Director Long briefly talked about three points:

"Everyone knows about Master Fang's situation. His uncle is a piece of shit. He ate his own nephew's family and wiped out his family. Many people in Nong'an have wanted to deal with him for a long time, but they never found the opportunity.

Now, Young Master Fang has entrusted us with such a big task, and I only have three requests -

Fuck him!

Fuck his wife!

Smash him!

Fuck his whole family!"

Tiger Girl No. 1 curled her lips and said, "Damn it, it's obviously four o'clock!"

After cursing, she raised her arms and shouted: "Yes, fuck his whole family!"

Director Long was very satisfied with the successful activation of everyone's enthusiasm for work. He raised his hand and pressed it down - obviously he learned it from our Brother Fang, but for some reason, few people paid attention to him.

Finally, he had to raise his voice: "Destroying him is not the goal, solving the problem for Master Fang is! Brothers and sisters, Master Fang means that we can't do it, but we want them to stop talking nonsense to the reporters outside. What do you think?"

"Keep an eye on his whole family!"

"Kill his son!"

"Throw shit on his door!"

"Fuck, why are you so disgusting? Go when it's time to dig shit!"

"Damn it, forget about it. It's not even our turn to have manure thrown on him. His neighbors have already done it many times."

Director Long and Hu Niu were both stunned: "When did this happen? Are the people so enthusiastic?"

"After Young Master Fang accepted the interview with Beijing Youth Daily."

The red-haired front thorn rolled his eyes and tried to recall: "Didn't the second part of the interview mention that Fang Shao had no guardian? Although it didn't say exactly how disgusting Wang Deli was, everyone in our county knew that Wang Deli's door was thrown with feces the next day..."

"Oops!"

Director Long slapped his thigh in frustration.

"Let this grandson evolve resistance in advance!"

"puff!"

He was the one who organized this little language and several people burst out laughing on the spot.

"So what do we do?"

"Let's just stop talking nonsense. Let's bring a barbecue grill and have a bonfire party in his yard. We'll drink happily at night and sleep in his house during the day. Let's see if he dares to call the police to chase us away!"

"Calling the police is useless!"

A short girl suddenly jumped up and said, "My uncle is from the station front, they are really annoying Wang Deli!"

This is true. Ever since Fang Xinghe became famous, Wang Deli's bad deeds have become known to everyone. Now people in the whole county look down on him.

Why has Fang Xinghe been famous for so long, but that family has been silent until now?
Fear is one aspect, and the other aspect is that I am too busy to take care of myself.

"If the big hat chases us away, we'll go to his neighbor's house and lie on the wall!"

"Yes, yes, his neighbor must hate him to death. He was almost roasted by Master Fang. He will definitely be happy to help us!"

A group of eighteen or nineteen-year-old boys and girls were muttering to each other, and they kept coming up with dirty tricks.

Even Fang Xinghe, who was in charge of giving them the order, had not expected that once people's enthusiasm was aroused, it would activate infinite imagination and execution.

Just like that, without Fang Shao knowing anything, Wang Deli's family suffered a great misfortune.

……

Wang Yali, Zhao Chunhua and others were very worried.

However, after two days of anxiety, there was no movement. In the end, Nandu did not publish the article and had to hold back the news.

"how did you do it?"

Wang Yali couldn't keep the matter to herself, so she asked directly.

The gangster replied nonchalantly: "What can I do? Maybe they have a change of heart."

Feelings are feelings, and things that shouldn’t be publicized are better kept in your heart and don’t talk about them everywhere.

When Wang Yali heard this, she knew she couldn't get any answers, so she continued to pay close attention to the developments in the market.

result……

Only Nanri posted a nonchalant little negative article titled "Fang Xinghe ignores family affection."

Nandu looked down on that material and transferred it to a sister unit...

Xiao Heiwen, even if he is being critical, he can't really criticize him. It's obvious that his opponent, Xinghe, is extremely disgusting, but he just can't get rid of him, so he can only grit his teeth and vent his anger.

The two of them with dark circles under their eyes have taken their lazy work business to a high level.

They wandered aimlessly around the small county town and had no intention of doing any interviews, but if anyone from other newspapers came, they would definitely go and get close.

Relying on the reputation of Nandu, they formed cliques and brothers with those newly arrived reporters, under the pretext of helping each other and sharing information.

It was inconvenient for Heizi and Duoyu to follow, so they came back to ask their eldest brother. Fang Xinghe smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry about them, they don't have any bad intentions."

Accompanying someone for two days is enough of an expression of intention. Do you really want to go and get to know the person?

The money has been given, there is no need.

Of course, it was also because when they met last night, the white light on them became increasingly stable and intense.

Fans with high fan levels are not necessarily good people, but they are unlikely to do bad things to the other party without significant benefits.

In that case, let them do as they please.

Back to the bald head and the dark circles under the eyes, normally no one would be willing to share secret information with them.

However, since they couldn't interview the real person at all, and the students of No. 3 Middle School only talked about trivial matters but kept silent about big things, everyone came for nothing and could only complain to each other.

"Hey, there's really nothing valuable to dig up here. It's like being in prison..."

The words from Dark Eyes instantly resonated with everyone.

"No!"

"Everyone knows the little shit that can be asked. What can't be asked is all in the minds of those kids. It's really annoying to deal with them. It's really annoying!"

"The main reason is that Fang Xinghe refused to accept the interview. This kid is really out of touch... Is this how you say it in Northeastern dialect?"

"He's a madman and a tyrant. I think..." The bald man suddenly sighed crazily, "No matter how long we stay here, it's useless. He's not the kind of person who can be changed by the outside world."

"What about his uncle?"

"We went there, but it was useless." He lied with dark eyes and a straight face. "When Fang Xinghe's mother was sick, his uncle was afraid of being implicated and took the initiative to cut off contact. Now he doesn't know anything when asked. He can only talk about some nonsense from their childhood to cheat us out of the interview fee."

"Well, it was a waste of time."

One young reporter was so annoyed that he said, "Damn it, I'm not going to keep it anyway!"

The bald man immediately said, "We are also planning to withdraw. All the people have been pushed back, and it would be a waste of time to wait any longer."

"That's right, let's go, shall we go back together?"

"That's great. We can chat and play cards on the way."

"Okay, let's retreat!"

Just like that, under the instigation of Dark Eyes and Bald Head, the scattered reporters went back in groups.

They were having a great time all the way, chatting, smoking and playing cards.

My goodness, something as big as someone else’s house had clearly leaked out, but after Fang Xinghe’s actions, there was no further news!
In the eyes of Wang Yali and others, this result is even more outrageous than the article about the semi-finals. This is because they don’t know the process. If they knew the details... wouldn’t they go crazy?
In this way, the difficult-to-defend system is basically shut down.

It cannot target Fang Xinghe himself.

If they continue to babble on about nonsense like “examination-oriented education cannot cultivate high-end talents”, readers will slap them in the face without Fang Xinghe’s return.

Although the difficult-to-defend system has been tirelessly chipping away at the wall for decades, they have a strong ability to read people's expressions. They basically don't force their way in, but mostly fan the flames from behind.

Since there is no opportunity now, we can only lie in wait and wait for the next opportunity.

As a result, several core editors suddenly disappeared from the print media.

However, those intellectuals, educators, and social critics who are helping to cheer or are truly dissatisfied with the expansion policy are still criticizing Fang Xinghe enthusiastically.

This is normal. Nowadays, there are delays in everything. The criticism cycle is already very long. It is not surprising that this unhealthy trend will continue for another two months.

At this time, the People's Daily, which was still waiting for Fang Xinghe's interview permission, finally came up with an article and got a seat at the hot table.

The People's Daily's voice can almost be said to have completely changed the course of history in the previous life "together with Comrade Xiao Fang."

Let’s not discuss for now who is relying on whom, but the effect is immediate.

Many public intellectuals were racking their brains to write articles criticizing Fang Xinghe the day before, but when they woke up the next day, they found that the sky had fallen.

Song Zude, who was hiding in his hometown, had just bitten a fried dough stick into his mouth. Before he could break the first bite, he saw the headline article on page three of the People's Daily. His head suddenly started buzzing.

"Talking about education topics through Fang Xinghe's two new articles"

The title is so ordinary that it doesn't even deserve to be in this position.

What kind of media is People's Daily?
There is no need to explain, Chinese people understand.

The People's Daily has only four pages in total. Coincidentally, today, the headline on the front page has the name of a big shot, the headline on the second page has the name of another big shot, and the headline on the fourth page has the name of the American President.

Then, the three characters [Fang Xinghe] were magnificently sandwiched between the three pages...

Just tell me if it’s scary or not?

Anyway, Song Zude was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and the fried dough stick in his mouth was shaking, as if that thing was growing on his face.

But at this moment, he didn't care about his image, but felt aggrieved - what are you worthy of, you little bastard? How did you deserve to be in such a position? Who wrote this article?

Looking down angrily, the author is Yi Ning.

Song Zude was silent for a long time, and his throat suddenly hurt. Objectively speaking, Teacher Yi Ning's literary achievements were not very high, but she was gentle, restrained, meticulous and patient. Therefore, after Mr. Ba Jin, the chairman of the current Writers Association, was seriously ill and bedridden, she actually took over the chairman's work temporarily.

Now, anyone who is involved in the literary circle knows that the next president will most likely be Sister Yi.

So, if you ask Song Zude to curse Fang Xinghe, he will dare to say anything as dirty as he wants. But if you ask him to openly confront Teacher Yi... Come on, I'm a poet.

With a heavy sigh, Zude read the article carefully with the last one in ten thousand chances.

Generally speaking, the article is still in Mr. Yi's usual style. He praised Fang Xinghe a lot and took the opportunity to criticize the recent impetuous and chaotic public opinion circles. The wording was not harsh and no one was mentioned by name.

In other words, the offensive power is not strong enough, but the symbolic meaning is very strong.

However, this was enough to make Song Zude and his ilk uncomfortable. What about Changping, Chengyi Middle School, Xiaochuan, Yan Lieshan... all the stupid dogs who chased Fang Xinghe and scolded him broke down collectively. They didn't even eat a bite of breakfast, but almost chewed the newspaper.

Teacher Yi wrote a paragraph like this:

"A small town test-taker, a Fang Xinghe-style summary full of childlike fun and wonderful ideas.

Fang Xinghe is particularly good at summarizing. I'm not praising him, this is a recognized fact by everyone.

Chen Sihe from Fudan University praised his lively writing style. In my opinion, it is this kid himself who is full of vitality. A small town test-taker, hey, how energetic!
When he was working on the New Concept, several senior editors did not trust him, thinking that this kid was too eccentric. I trusted him and said that this kid was a very honest person, not what they thought.

Now look at how sincere and true he is to himself.
I was born in a small town, and I don’t want to grow old and rot here. I want to go out and see the cities, mountains, rivers, and the vast unknown world… I want to go, so I speak truthfully and work hard for it.

This is a huge positive force, isn't it good? This is great!

Young people will be encouraged by this, learn to be honest, learn to open their eyes to the world, and learn to fight for what they want. How many more useful talents will we have in the future because of this?
The most rare thing is that he is not self-deprecating, and the ideas he conveys are full of high morale.

What's wrong with being born in a small town?
I can still win awards, get first place in exams, and write beautiful articles.

In fact, we all come from rural areas. It is not worth feeling inferior because of our low birth. We just need to work hard to get rid of the current predicament - just like Fang Xinghe wrote, break this fate and be a real young man.

Looking through his three public articles, we can see that wildness and unwillingness to admit defeat are ingrained in his bones. How wonderful! We especially need more children like him.

Of course, this doesn't mean he has no wisdom, he does, and all of us judges can see it clearly.

In another article, "The Added Value of Reading," the concept of added value is particularly good.

On the one hand, the economic principles implied in the word itself are one thing, but more importantly, when Fang Xinghe started his discussion with the term added value, this move itself powerfully proved how great the added value that learning brought to his talents was.

Without learning and reading, it would be impossible to have such profound explanations.

The term "empowerment" is better. I have never seen this word in any book. I specifically consulted an economics professor at Tsinghua University about this, but he had never heard of it either.

He was extremely shocked and was full of praise.

Therefore, this is the crystallization of Fang Xinghe's personal wisdom and his practice of the unity of knowledge and action of the idea of "empowering reading". He has shown greater honesty in learning and is not as impetuous as many people have ridiculed him.

The word "impetuous" is a great slander against him.

On the contrary, he thinks very deeply and sets an example for the public by showing them how to add value to themselves.

Intelligence and handsomeness are his natural qualities. On this basis, he practiced martial arts all year round to strengthen his body, loved learning to civilize his mind, persisted in thinking to accumulate his wisdom, and kept writing to enrich his literary talent.

Fang Xinghe has added a lot of added value to himself, so not only do my children like him, I also have full expectations, respect and admiration for him.

Things in this world are hard to understand and even harder to do.

Fang Xinghe was able to win the first prize in the first New Concept Writing Competition, to be the top scorer in the Jilin Province Senior High School Entrance Examination, and to become a current teenage idol. His natural talent played a very small role in this. Without arduous efforts, an orphan would never have become so powerful.

He is a role model for all of us to learn from. Not only middle school students, but adults should also take Fang Xinghe as a standard, actively fight against the injustice of fate, know it but not obey it, change from hating everything to loving everything, change from disdaining everything to respecting everything, and finally find the light in their hearts. "

The last paragraph of Teacher Yining’s short composition incorporates four of Fang Xinghe’s works.

Fighting against fate is a quote from an interview, knowing but not going through with it is an essay for the rematch, hate and love comes from "Small Town Test-taker", and the light in the heart comes from "Added Value".

They blend together so naturally, as if these sentences were meant to be one.

Not only does it look uplifting, but it's also full of positive energy.

Of course, the core is because our Fang Shao has a good foundation~~~
In short, the righteous article published in the righteous newspaper really complemented each other and brought him a huge boost in reputation.

As soon as this article came out, the literary world quickly changed its direction.

The Writers Association today is of course much worse than it was twenty years ago, but compared to twenty years later, its influence is still considerable.

So when Teacher Yining suddenly showed his strong support for Fang Xinghe, coupled with the endorsement of Renri, some writers who depended on the Writers Association for their livelihood immediately stopped their activities and retreated to wait and see which way the wind would blow.

If it were in the past, it wouldn't have mattered whether they retreated or not, because the main forces including Yan Lieshan, Xiong Muyun and Cheng Yizhong were very capable and they didn't care about this little pressure.

However, now these guys have retreated first, leaving only the puppet troops on the front line, and the chain reaction this has brought is catastrophic.

The new editorial directly pulled out the last backbone of the public intellectuals and finally broke their arrogance.

Once these guys become cowardly, fearful, and soft, the huge offline voices of Fang Xinghe's supporters will begin the final offensive against the violent remarks.

Then, with overwhelming force and unstoppable force, the whole country was soon peaceful and prosperous.

How many people have been scolded for this? It's impossible to count!
Among them, the worst one was once again Song Zude... He was so unlucky that it had gotten to the point where little girls wrote letters directly to the newspaper, calling him a purebred beast.

He certainly deserved it, but the point is not about him, but about the way this great debate ended.

It started with great fanfare and ended with a barrage of curses. The affirmative side had a violent rant against the clowns, and after venting their emotions, they suddenly stopped caring about the debate.

The public intellectuals' silence also made it impossible for the topic to gain a foothold.

So, after reaching its peak, the heat dropped drastically and soon returned to complete calm.

You no longer see experts discussing the usefulness of reading in newspapers.

No one could have predicted this result.

Except Fang Xinghe.

He is the only one who has the ability to control the situation and keep the huge popularity going.

Publish a new article, curse someone by name, allow Nandu to take away his black material, take the initiative to accept an interview... there are too many ways.

But he decided to stop there.

Criticizing, debating, reflecting on, comparing and building trust in exam-oriented education is not a simple task that can be accomplished in one go.

Any overly optimistic idea is frivolous.

In the future, the sediment will inevitably surface again until we have a second spring in life and the offense and defense will be completely changed.

"But I shouldn't have initiated that grand narrative from a historical perspective, let alone made the final conclusion. My mission has been accomplished."

Fang Xinghe is still sober, still rational, and still determined.

He didn't know how many young kids in his previous life had chosen to drop out of school and work between 99 and 05 because of such trivial matters. He also didn't know how long it took for those kids' high spirits when they first entered the world to turn into resentment, hatred and regret... He didn't have the relevant data.

He just saw such words from time to time in various groups: How great it would be if...

Looking back, half of my life has been wasted.

But this is not looking back, it's just reviewing, nothing can be changed.

As the only person who could clearly see the ending of history, Fang Xinghe chose to withdraw, keep his mouth shut, and hide his achievements and fame at the peak of the popularity.

"I have greatly changed the course of history and saved many dropouts."

"I have done my duty, and it is time to retire."

"I don't have to be the one to achieve success, but I must be part of the success. This state is the most comfortable..."

It is wise to actively shrink and let what should be quiet remain quiet.

What should be silent?

The wrong kind of heat, the imprecise kind, the kind that does more harm than good.

The subtlety of this is difficult to describe and only exists in Fang Xinghe's heart.

However, even though his actions were so decisive and swift, he still couldn't avoid the subsequent "backlash".

Public opinion suddenly put a whole set of labels on him: love of learning, upright, ambitious, and a pillar of the future.

The tone set on the day was the main reason, but the more unexpected and important change was the sudden rebound of the difficult-to-prevent system.

Yan Lieshan publicly changed his words in the new issue of Southern Weekly:

"After arguing back and forth for a while, criticizing and scolding him, I now really have some respect for Fang Xinghe.

How many points exactly?

Taking a ruler to measure, it is already more than half.

At his age and with his talents, it is really not easy for him to persist in learning and be true to what he thinks.

After putting myself in their shoes, I discovered to my shame that I couldn't do it.

As a media person with conscience and who is fair and objective enough, one is one and two is two. I will criticize the bad ones and praise the good ones..."

The article did not mention education at all, but focused on praising Fang Xinghe personally, portraying him as a leading and talented writer who "has no reference value" and has ideas, high vision and persistence. Although he is immature at the moment, he will surely have a brilliant future.

It is difficult to prevent the top leaders of the faction from collectively changing their stance and praising him highly, thus forming a broad public consensus.

Most adults do not get to know Xiao Fang in detail. When they see him waving the flag and fighting for reading, they feel a liking for him and tacitly regard him as the "new youth, new hope" defined by many parties.

In the short term, this is a good thing, as it can greatly reduce the difficulty of attracting fans.

——In just a few days, the number of floating fans, which had been basically stagnant, increased by more than 100 million.

However, aside from the fact that they are all useless middle-aged fans, the real trouble is that once time is extended and Fang Xinghe in the future does something that does not fit their stereotype, then the backlash of public opinion...

“It’s even more exciting!”

Fang Xinghe licked his lips, a sly smile full of anticipation and restlessness revealed at the corner of his mouth.

He has a clear conscience about the times and now just wants to focus on his own destiny.

When being a water army, the most frightening thing is the lack of rhythm.

The most frightening thing about repeatedly washing and abusing fans is that there is no legitimate reason.

The most frightening thing about engaging in black and red operations is that one's ambitions are high but one's skills are low, and one cannot control the intensity.

However, once all the conditions are met, the chaos, turmoil, cyber violence, and even being condemned by thousands of people that ordinary people fear will be just an extreme challenge that has nothing to do with life and death for Fang Xinghe.

Praise for killing?

You can praise him, but can you kill him?
Some people firmly believe in this, while others are secretly preparing for a counterattack.

Chen Chunyaoyao, the coming year will be bright, brothers and sisters, happy New Year’s Eve, and good luck in playing with snakes!
