“Are you in your hometown? Have you returned to Xihe? Why didn’t you tell me when you came back?” Ning Chunyan couldn’t believe it.
“What are you telling me for?” Chen Qingluo walked around barefoot on the ground, bluetooth headphones on her ears flashing, “I don’t want to go out. Every time I come back, there are a bunch of people around me, and I can’t do anything. I’m bored to death.”
“Indeed.” Ning Chunyan felt the same way, “But then you Why are you coming back? "
"What are you coming back for?"
"Oh, it turns out that you also used the excuse of attending Teacher Li Tingfang's 70th birthday to escape from the pressure of academic papers and other life, and breathe a sigh of relief in your life."
Chen Qingluo said: "That's not true. I have no studies. I have to go back to Xihe for about half a month every year to see rural China so that I will not be separated from the people."
Ning Chunyan chuckled. Chen Qingluo said this with resentment, and she knew the origin of this resentment.
Chen Qingluo became famous when she was young. The books she wrote in her early years were not accepted by some seniors, who criticized her for being low-level and not deep-thinking, so she took the postgraduate entrance examination at Nanjing University and then studied for a Ph.D. Now those people dare not criticize her level. After all, it would be tantamount to slandering NTU and her inheritance, and then criticizing her for being out of touch with the people.
Chen Qingluo said: "To be honest, I quite envy you. At least you can still have the weight of your studies. Since I graduated, I have lost all the pressure. Now I am light and airy. To be honest, I am a little confused."
Ning Chunyan said: "'The unbearable lightness of life', right? 'Women always long to bear the weight of a male body. The heaviest. The heavy burden also becomes the image of the most powerful vitality."
Chen Qingluo sneered: "Don't listen to Milan Kundera. We are all at the top of the food chain in this world. What I need is the weight of money. "
Ning Chunyan said: "No wonder they say your novels are too inorganic and lack human emotions. I sincerely hope that the little prince can awaken the fantasy of love in your heart."
"Want to awaken My fantasy of love only requires a shot of hormones." Chen Qingluo said, "Love is all a trick of the brain and genes." Ning Chunyan didn't answer her, tapping the keyboard monotonously with her fingers. Chen Qingluo quickly finished reading "The Little Prince's Love Letter" and said to the person on the other end of the phone:
"I understand why you like the little prince."
"That's right!"
Ning Chunyan put away his hands and picked up the phone excitedly: "I knew you would also appreciate him! He is really special!"
Chen Qingluo commented: "He is not doing speech therapy, but creating. Every word of his can be seen with traces of careful consideration and carving, even rhetorical I can feel that he has thought about it instinctively."
Ning Chunyan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, this is why we admire The Little Prince. Many of us believe that although these are speech therapy scripts, the literary nature of them is undeniable."
Chen Qingluo became a little interested: "Look, his first sentence, 'I know you work very hard, and as your friend, I feel sorry for you, but as your boss, I can't show it.' This sentence is very clever.
“He started with a heart-to-heart talk with no foreshadowing and no background. It seemed to be meaningless, but in fact, this sentence contained a huge amount of information. It also pointed out the personalities of both parties in the speech therapy. It came naturally, and it also intertextualized with the rest of the text, with a little romance. "
Ning Chunyan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, and the conflict between identity and complex interpersonal relationships has been brought about from the first sentence. This contradiction runs through the entire text from the first sentence. ”
Chen Qingluo said: "He is not doing speech therapy. He is creating. In fact, this is not a script, but a novel with a special theme."
"Yes."
"I can guarantee that this little prince does not understand women at all in life."
"Why?"
p>“Because when he was writing these scripts, what he was thinking in his mind was definitely not ‘I want to conquer this woman’, but ‘I want to climb the highest mountain of literature so that this woman can feel my awesomeness’. He actually doesn’t know how to please women. He just clumsily thinks that if he is good enough in literature, he will definitely make the other person feel it.”
"But the women were still pleased."
"Yes. Because you women are just like him, you are all idiots." Chen Qingluo said.
"He is like a poet. You are just the object of his singing, and he uses things to express his aspirations. Just like the ancient poems about praising plum blossoms and snow, although it is about snow or plum blossoms, what he actually wants to express is himself.
"But you plum blossoms and snow, you stupidly listened to it, and felt that the poet was shining all over. He does not please you, and you do not care to be pleased by Him. You are just, secretly fascinated. ”
Ning Chunyan was very unwilling. She clenched her fists tightly, but she could not refute what Chen Qingluo said. Her interpretation was harsh, but she was right.
After holding it for a long time, she thought of a retort: "I think you talked about the little prince too lightly."
"Yes, after all, I only read one chapter." Chen Qingluo said, " I think I need to emphasize that although he is a bad poet who thinks about how to write beautiful poems, he is not curious at all. The reason why he is not curious is that he does not lie to himself about how noble he is. ”
Most Chinese people understand the word "keqi" through the book "The Unbearable Lightness of Being". If the meaning of this word is explained in a popular way, it is a bit similar to "pretending to be high-profile, using low-cost behavior to make oneself appear sacred and noble."
For example, "If you don't change, you are not Chinese"; California wildfires burned dozens of people but rescued a cat, and people prayed for the cat and praised life; today is Kobe's birthday, everyone should not fly in a helicopter... These are all kitsch behaviors.
Of course, there are also some emotional people who are really touched by the meaning contained in these things. To oppose kitsch is not to oppose emotion itself, but to oppose hypocritical sublimity and arbitrary kitsch. In other words, when everyone is moved, you must allow some people not to be moved. At the same time, when you are not moved, you do not have to pretend to be moved.
When it comes to the little prince, he is obsessed with literature in speech therapy scripts, but he does not use literature to maintain a sense of psychological superiority. He just truly believes in the power of words and the appeal of literature. He believed he could make money from literature.
Chen Qingluo said: "To sum up the above."
"To sum up the above?"
“To sum up, the little prince is not married.” Chen Qingluo said categorically, “He is a straight man who only thinks about literature. Why should such a person have a wife?” At the table, the man commented, "To say it is romantic is to say it, but to say it is to pick up girls, picking up girls has literary value."
Next to him, Director Yang wrinkled his nose: "Picking up girls is just to pick up girls, and literature is literature, so how can picking up girls have literary value?"

“There is too little education about love in our country. Many young people have no experience in interacting with the opposite sex before leaving school, so a love expert like the little prince suddenly appeared and came into being at the right time! "
The man nodded: "Yes! The Little Prince is a product of the deformed literary market we have today. It is vulgar and obscene, but it is also very entertaining. ”
Someone else said next to him: "Although I say it's obscene, it really works. Many girls do this. I learned a few of the little prince's sayings, which really make girls happy."
The man laughed loudly: "So I said it was a product of a deformed market! As long as it works these days, let's get popular first, who cares about the reputation behind us!"
"There is no connotation in the first place. ," Xie Cong burped, "What's the meaning these days? People in the literary world are just fools. Who cares about the seriousness of literature?"
Wang Zixu frowned as he listened. Lin Feng came over and asked in a low voice: "Brother, have you heard of the little prince?"
"No."
"Then why do you feel like you have something to say?"
The prince was silent for a long time, the little prince "I just think they are a bit kitsch."
"What does kitsch mean?"
"I'll tell you after I finish eating."
