The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

  Shanghai, Daxia University.

   It is estimated that many people have not heard of this school, you will know the name of the school in reverse - Xiamen University.

   Two years ago, due to the student protests, Xiamen University, which was founded not long ago, split. Some teachers and students went to Shanghai to start a new school, which is the origin of Daxia University. After the founding of New China, Daxia University was integrated into East China Normal University.

   It was the weekend and the morning was sunny.

   Several female students took the letter and returned to the dormitory talking and laughing all the way. When they passed a room, a girl knocked on the door and shouted, "Mr. Huang!"

  The door opener was a gaunt woman in her 20s. She asked, "What's the matter?"

  The girl said: "When I went to get the letter just now, I saw your parcel, and I brought it back for you by the way."

   "Thank you." The woman smiled.

   "Mr. Huang, let's go first!" The girl handed her the parcel and waved goodbye.

   Mr. Huang's name is Huang Shuyi, pen name Lu Yin, and the No. 13 member of the Literature Research Association. Her current position is a teacher at the High School Affiliated to Daxia, and she is also an instructor for girls at Daxia University. She usually lives in the girls' dormitory.

   There was also a little girl about two years old in the room, looking at Lu Yin eagerly: "Mom, I'm hungry."

  Lu Yin took out a candy from the drawer, put it in her daughter's mouth and said, "Be good, eat the candy first, it's not time for lunch yet."

   The little girl was very thin and ran back to the bed with the candy in her mouth, and sat down obediently without speaking.

  Lu Yin opened the parcel, which contained the latest issue of "Fiction Monthly". As an early member of the Literature Research Association, she had the right to order the journal for free.

   Coaxing the child, Lu Yin opened the magazine. She was quickly surprised to find that the "Toutiao" novel in this issue was actually a new work, and even Lao She's "Lao Zhang's Philosophy" was pushed to the back.

   "It turned out to be Mr. Zhou's masterpiece. Unexpectedly, he also started writing novels." Lu Yin is far away in Shanghai and has never heard of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

   For Zhou Hexuan, Lu Yin greatly admired him. She once said a sentence: I envy heroes, I obey thinkers.

   After reading "The Rise of Great Powers", Lu Yin thought that Zhou Hexuan was a great thinker, and now she is curious about what kind of novels the thinker will write.

  Lu Yin is a novelist who quickly becomes immersed in the story.

   The heroine in the book has no name, and is replaced by "she" throughout. "She" talked to ghosts in prison, "she" was a lonely wanderer since childhood, "she" made friends with wild cats, "she" discussed survival problems with wild dogs, "she" was caught by the police for stealing food, and "she" became an overseer A sacrifice to pray for rain, "she" met the river **** at the bottom of the river...

   Although the "Fiction Monthly" has a lot of weight, it has to publish other content, so "Goddess" only serialized more than 10,000 words. The novel ends abruptly when the heroine meets the river god.

  Lu Yin put down the magazine and let out a long sigh. She didn't know how to evaluate this novel. Everything in the book has spirituality, including cats and dogs that can talk, but human beings are like marionettes that have lost their souls.

fairy tale?

  Children simply cannot understand the deep meaning of the book, while adults shudder to read it.

  Myth?

  This is not a myth novel, the ghosts and ghosts in it can be understood as the protagonist's fantasy. This is a realistic work, but the description of society is too dark. This kind of darkness is also hidden in joy and festivity, like a sharp sword piercing the reader's heart.

  Lu Yin felt the same way, she even felt that the novel was describing herself.

  Lu Yin grew up in an old-fashioned family. His father was a former Qingjuan and even served as a magistrate. But she was regarded as a disaster star by her mother since she was a child, and was thrown to the nurse to raise her because her grandmother died on the day she was born.

   In childhood, the whole family thought she did not exist. She had scabies when she was two years old and couldn't walk or talk by three because no one bothered to teach her. Later, she fell ill with a severe fever, and her family did not send her for medical treatment, waiting for her to fend for herself. It was the nanny who took her to the countryside, where she was cured by eating the peasant family's rough food.

   After his father became the magistrate of Changsha, Lu Yin was brought back to his parents. But she was still not cared for. Once, because of crying, she was thrown into the water by her father. Fortunately, she was rescued by the attendant of the attendant.

   All this is because she is a woman and a calamity.

   When Lu Yin was six years old, his father died of a heart attack, and his uncle took them to his grandfather's house in Peiping. His uncle was a former member of the Ministry of Agriculture, Industry and Commerce of the Qing Dynasty, and he also served as the imperial physician of the Imperial College Hospital.

   However, Lu Yin was still regarded as a disaster star and could not enter the school, so he could only learn the Three Character Classic with his aunt. She even lived with the maid in the house. Whenever there was a happy event or a guest at her uncle's house, Lu Yin was locked in the yard alone, and she could only talk to the birds, insects, flowers and plants in the yard to relieve her boredom.

   This is just the beginning, Lu Yin's life is a complete tragedy, and she has never been smooth. Last year, her husband also died. She was kicked out of the house by her mother-in-law, and she wandered around with her one-year-old daughter.

  When he was studying in school, Lu Yin suffered from sores on his feet and was almost disabled. Later, his lung tube ruptured and he coughed up blood. She was then led to religion, converted to God, and found comfort in her religious beliefs. Now she believes in new ideas (freedom and science). She has been to Japan, North Korea, Fengtian, Dalian and Tianjin. She has witnessed the decline of Chinese society and the misery of people's lives. She is crazy and wants to overthrow this old society.

   Everything depicted in "Goddess" echoes Lu Yin's state of mind.

   Liang Qichao and Zheng Zhenduo felt terrified when they read "The Goddess", but Lu Yin had a different feeling about it, because she had experienced this since she was a child.

   At noon, Lu Yin took her daughter out for dinner, and when she returned to the dormitory, she wrote a book review. She planned to publish it in the "Literary and Art Conversation" section of "Fiction Monthly":

"Since the May 4th Movement, China's new literature, the first is "The Diary of a Madman", followed by Mr. Zhou Hexuan's "Goddess". There are only more than ten thousand words, and I have only seen the beginning of an old society that eats people.' She' seems to be the sacrifice of this dark society, destined to go to tragedy, peeling off the veil of gods and gods, I saw the author's analysis of the soul, the torture of human nature, this book will show readers a real and absurd China..."

   Not only Lu Yin, but all readers who got the "Fiction Monthly" were shocked by this novel, which only had more than 10,000 characters at the beginning.

   Zheng Zhenduo himself wrote a comment in the magazine: "The 'she' in "Goddess" is the incarnation of China's 40,000,000 people, and each of us is a victim of the old society."

   What attracts the attention of writers is the way of writing "Goddess". The plot of the novel is not coherent, with a lot of flashbacks and interludes in between, and there are various fantasies of the heroine in it, brewing a psychedelic and absurd atmosphere, making it difficult to distinguish reality.

A novel like    is unique in the whole world.

   After reading "Goddess", many writers have the same thought in their minds: I'm just cursing, can novels be written like this?
