Chapter 218 Historical Nihilism


Chapter 218 Historical Nihilism



If you just look at the back, Wang Zixu seems to have raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.



This caused An Younan, who was watching the live broadcast, to think that he was surrendering. Until later he yawned unabashedly.



The speech just now was too long and lacked excitement. An Younan was already drowsy, but Wang Zixu stretched her waist, which woke her up.



“What is he doing?”



An Younan asked in the headset, Duan Xiaosang was stunned and did not answer.



She doesn’t know either.



Xiao Mengyin stared at Wang Zixu beside him with wide eyes, like a stunned golden retriever.



For a moment, she seemed to be back in high school, when her deskmate was scolded by the teacher for a whole class without speaking back. When she took a closer look, she realized that she had not transitioned but had fallen asleep.



But what is the occasion? Can you be so arrogant at this time?



She stretched out her foot and lightly kicked his calf under the table, trying to make him behave himself. However, Wang Zixu remained unmoved, so the light kick turned into a violent kick.



Talk about controlling your emotions! If you really stand up to these people, not even I can save you!



While she was shouting in her heart, Xiao Mengyin suddenly felt that her kick was missed, and then her feet were firmly clamped by Wang Zixu's legs.



Xiao Mengyin’s beautiful eyes trembled slightly, then turned upward and turned white.



What cyberpsychosis!



Wang Zixu finished stretching and sniffed loudly. He was not affected by the storm under the table at all. Under Xiao Mengyin's astonished eyes, he spoke:



"I'm sorry. Kong just said There was a small question in the teacher’s speech that made me very confused. ”



Kong Huaifang was half-lying on his seat - he had completed the task and was in a very relaxed mood - when he was suddenly reminded of the past, he immediately sat up straight and looked at him with raised eyebrows.



With a displeased face, Shi Tonghe knocked on the table with his pen and said, "You have a problem, why didn't you mention it just now?"



Wang Zixu said, "I just thought to myself, with Teacher Kong's knowledge and education, I should not make such a low-level mistake."



Shi Tonghe knocked on the table hard and said sternly: "Here It's a meeting, you're yawning and stretching, and now you don't acknowledge the criticism, how can you behave?"



"I'm sorry, I drank fake wine last night, I'm a little hungover, and I still have a headache. Besides, it's not that I don't acknowledge the criticism, Teacher Kong's mistake is so obvious that even if I want to, it's hard not to complain."



Shi Tonghe said: "If you are not feeling well, go out and enjoy the cool breeze before coming in."



Wang Zixu said: "No, thank you to Teacher Shi for your concern. I am completely fine now."



After a pause, Wang Zixu said again: "I just woke up. Wine, I suddenly realized that maybe it was Teacher Kong’s low-level mistakes that caused his interpretation of my novel to be completely absurd.



“If I don’t point it out, it will lead to the spread of falsehoods and damage Teacher Kong’s reputation. It’s better to point it out on the spot. With Teacher Kong’s magnanimity, he will definitely accept the opinion and repent. ”



The prince made an unexpected move, and Shi Tonghe originally wanted to find an opportunity to silence him. They were here to execute him this time, and they couldn't let him seize the opportunity to perform.



But now he has said "low-level mistakes" on the one hand and "unspeakably ridiculous" on the other. He can no longer stop them, and it is extremely harsh in his ears. He is not allowed to say it, and I don't know what else he will arrange.



Kong Huaifang said: "If you have any opinions, just say so. I would like to see if you can't accept criticism, or if I am really wrong."



"Okay, then I will talk about it." Wang Zixu said generously.



Things are starting to get interesting. Even the most uninterested people present here became interested at this time and pretended to be having fun.



Except An Younan was not very happy.



"Twelve thousand red wine, I gave him two bottles, and he was called fake wine, who is this!"



Duan Xiaosang thought, it turns out that Wang Zixu drank at your house last night.



An Younan reached out and scratched casually on the sofa cushion, wiping off the remaining juice on his hands.



She originally planned to wash her hands, but when the live broadcast got exciting, she didn’t dare to miss a minute.



Wang Zixu said: "Before I talk about this mistake of Teacher Kong, I want to ask Teacher Kong first. Your criticism standards for works should not be formulated for me alone?" Wang Zixu said: "Teacher Kong, don't get excited. If you don't use double standards when criticizing works, then other works will be written in the same way, which is also considered historical nihilism, right?"

Wang Zixu said: "I didn't ask that. What Teacher Kong means is that the views of the characters in the novel must not go against the current characterization of historical issues. For example, the character in my book has a praising attitude toward the Boxer Rebellion, which is historical nihilism."



Kong Huaifang pointed at him: "That's because the character in your novel is the incarnation of you as the author, and the character's attitude reflects your orientation. , and then influence the readers!”



Wang Zixu said: “But the character ‘Gao Jiren’ in my book adopts a completely negative attitude towards the Boxers, and is different from ‘Crazy Grandma’. Completely opposite. "



Kong Huaifang said: "The character Gao Juren is a villain, which just further confirms your position."



Wang Zixu closed the material in his hand, raised his head and said, "So you think that all the actions of the positive characters represent my own views?"



Kong Huaifang said: " This can be seen from the text. ”



Wang Zixu said: “In One Hundred Years of Solitude, José Arcadio Buendía is obsessed with science and technology and believes that the colonists have brought it. The railway and telephone are the gifts of civilization. In his ignorance and confusion, Macondo gradually became an economic colony of the banana company - is this not historical nihilism? ”



Kong Huaifang Said: "This paragraph is obviously critical..."



Wang Zixu said: "Then why can't you see the critical nature of this plot in my book?"



Kong Huaifang lowered his voice a bit: "Your criticism is not clear enough."



"If my criticism is not clear enough," Wang Zixu said, "then Marquez's criticism is even less clear. Teacher Kong, I have a question, have you read very little? Have you read "One Hundred Years of Solitude"?"



Kong Huaifang has not read it.



In fact, Kong Huaifang has not even watched "Fire in the Stone" seriously.



The more you haven’t seen it, the angrier you will be when you are hit on a sore point. Kong Huaifang's face turned red.



"I read "One Hundred Years of Solitude" when I was young. I didn't think deeply about literature at that time. I just remember that it left me with wonderful memories. But if I were to highlight it today, I would also say that it was not very good in terms of historical attitude and spiritual orientation."



After saying that, Kong Huaifang raised his head and said: "What? "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is a masterpiece, so just criticize it. Isn't it hard to say that Wang Zixu and his colleagues regard "One Hundred Years of Solitude" as their guide, so it's no wonder that they can't escape its shackles."



"So you think "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is the standard. "Loneliness" also has the problem of historical nihilism."



Kong Huaifang said: "Yes, but the severity is very different from yours."



"Then the work "Gone with the Wind" describes the 'warm' relationship between slave owners and slaves, and writes about the trauma and economic difficulties suffered by the American South during the abolition war. Is this also historical nihilism?"



"Of course there are problems in this regard."



“Then “Catch-22”, in exaggerating the institutional oppression of the army and the existential anxiety of soldiers in the fascist war, also made the mistake of historical nihilism?



“Of course it counts.”



"Then in "How Steel Was Tempered", it is written that Paul participated in the anti-revolutionary work and stayed "for three days and three nights without sleep", avoiding the factional struggle and amplified issues in the Cheka's "Red Terror" operation. Is this also historical nihilism?"



“Of course it is.”



“That’s enough.”



Seeing Kong Huaifang getting more and more excited, Shi Tonghe stopped him from continuing.



He knew that Kong Huaifang was only half-qualified. He had not read a few books and had a very bad temper. Letting him face off with the prince was just to make a fool of himself.



When Wang Zixu finally gave the example of "How Steel Was Tempered", Gu Zao's smile reached to his ears.



A work with such an overwhelming theme can also make the mistake of "historical nihilism". What other works cannot be labeled this way?



The latest ⊥little⊥talk⊥ is published for the first time in the ⊥6⊥9⊥⊥book⊥⊥bar⊥⊥!



Unexpectedly, Kong Huaifang actually fell into the trap, so she raised her neck and pushed up her hat.



Next, Wang Zixu gave another example from "Doctor Zhivago". Wouldn't he want to slap himself in the face with each other?



The literati are all in decline, especially this prince. And this Gu Zao.



Shi Tonghe said: "That's it. Wang Zixu, I know what you mean. You just want to say that Teacher Kong has used a general proposition to cover up other shining points of your work.



"But literary appreciation is like this, everyone is interested in one, and it is easy to lose sight of the other. You don’t need to question it anymore, we can discuss it after the meeting. "



Wang Zixu said vigorously: "I will ask one last question, just a question about my own works. ”



Shi Tonghe pursed his lips. He selfishly didn’t want Wang Zixu to continue talking. But Wang Zixu didn’t wait for him to agree, and then asked:



"There is also a passage in the novel where Xi Po called on the whole village not to join the commune during the people's commune movement, and later when the large-scale contract work was implemented, she also called on the villagers not to withdraw from the commune. Is this also historical nihilism?"



Kong Huaifang has already been involved and doesn't care about anything. Spreading his hands, he asked: "Is this plot of yours any different from the previous one?"



"Are you making the mistake of historical nihilism?"



"Yes!"



Kong Huaifang's eyes widened with anger, he stared at Wang Zixu, and spoke harshly.



The whole place was silent for a moment. The sound of breathing sounded secretly like a looming cat in the trees.



"The plot I'm talking about is the plot of Teacher Shi Tonghe's novel "Chi Jie"." Wang Zixu said.



Kong Huaifang’s lips twitched violently, and his whole body froze in place.



Wang Zixu pressed his body to the table and said, "Teacher Kong, you are saying that Teacher Shi Tonghe also made the mistake of historical nihilism, right?"



Kong Huaifang opened his mouth, but found that he could not say a word.



Shi Tonghe rubbed his forehead in disappointment and leaned back on the chair.



“Tell me!” Wang Zixu said, “Aren’t your criteria for judging everyone the same? Did Shi Tonghe make the mistake of historical nihilism?”



A few beads of sweat started from Kong Huaifang's forehead and slid down openly on his bald head.



"Don't you dare to say it? Don't worry, Teacher Shi Tonghe just said that writers must be generous and be able to listen to criticism! Don't worry, he will definitely accept your criticism!"



Kong Huaifang swallowed and concluded He stammered: "Although I have not read this work, based on my understanding of Teacher Shi Tonghe, he must be measured in his writing, and no, he will not commit historical nihilism..."



Wang Zixu grabbed the material in front of him and threw it towards Kong Huaifang at the other end of the long table.



The paper material flew in the air, making a clattering sound, turning into a parabola, and hit Kong Huaifang accurately.



“You know who the fuck you are, you’ve changed again, and you still fucking say you’re not targeting someone?!”



Wang Zixu was angry.



He was not angry because he saw Kong Huaifang's character clearly.



Kong Huaifang deliberately targeted this matter. When he read the second paragraph of his manuscript, Wang Zixu already knew it. There was no need to peel off the details and prove it layer by layer.



The reason why he is so angry is because Kong Huaifang is so mediocre.



He was angry because of Kong Huaifang’s mediocrity.



In the past days and nights squatting at home doing nothing, he had thought countless times, how many books do he need to read to become one of those people who look up to him in the literary world?



It was like the little brat in "Farewell My Concubine". When he saw a famous actor, he thought, "How many beatings will it take to become a star?"



As a result, today he found out that Liu Xiang did not study.



I don’t read “Gone with the Wind”, I don’t read “Catch-22”, I don’t read “How Steel Was Tempered”.



I don’t even read Shi Tonghe’s books.



I don’t understand the most basic things, but I still sit on it in a grand manner, talk about Taoism, and give orders, so ignorant and confident.



At that time, every time Wang Zixu asked him, he felt his heart aching.



After he threw the material, no one in the audience reacted immediately. Xiao Mengyin was the first to feel something bad, so he quickly got out of his seat and wrapped his arms around his neck.



"Zixu! Calm down! Even if Teacher Kong is unfair, you can't throw things at him! What's the difference between this and a monkey?"



Li Minyang reacted quickly, waved his hand and said: "Yes, Wang Zixu, just say it, don't move your hands, Teacher Kong, are you okay?"



Kong Huaifang was hit by the material. It was not harmful, but it was extremely insulting. His chest heaved violently, but he was so surprised that he could not speak.



Li Minyang said: "Fortunately, Teacher Kong is fine. Okay, please apologize quickly."



"Bang! Bang! Bang!"



Shi Tonghe slapped the table hard three times, each one harder than the last, and finally the palm of his hand hurt.



“Wang Zixu, what kind of behavior do you have?”
