As an old editor who has been working for ten years, Cheng Yongxin knew very well that the novel "Living" would definitely not pass the review, unless it was overhauled, but once it was overhauled, the novel would lose its original style.

Not to mention it will become a mediocre work, it will also eliminate the artistic characteristics in it.

The editor’s responsibility is not only to discover excellent works, but also to help writers improve their works with a professional perspective.

The so-called perfection means making modifications. Some modifications are for the better of the work, while others are for the purpose of coping with censorship.

Even if Mr. Li is in charge behind the "Hundred Flowers" magazine, he cannot do whatever he wants and publish whatever he wants. He can only say that he can be slightly out of order, but the exception is limited.

Cheng Yongxin thought about it and gave the manuscript of "Living" to President Li Linlin.

Li Linlin is the daughter of Mr. Li. She continued her father's style of hosting magazines, supported young writers, and writers who have made innovations in literature, becoming the protector of avant-garde writers.

Many avant-garde writers in China became famous in the magazine "Hundred Flowers", thus becoming a young and strong group among the Chinese writers.

When Li Linlin saw this novel, she couldn't help but remembered that she met Mu Zhiyuan during a meeting in Beijing a New Year. While they were chatting, Mu Zhiyuan inadvertently mentioned this novel.

"What do you think?" Li Linlin asked.

"The manuscript is of high quality and distinctiveness, but the content involves many sensitive areas, so I am afraid I can't pass the review." Hu Yongxin said truthfully.

"Okay, I'll take a look first." Li Linlin said calmly.

After Hu Yongxin left, Li Linlin was flipping through the manuscript while thinking about the matter.

Although she lives in Shanghai, it does not mean that she does not know anything about the capital, especially officials from the Ministry of Culture, the superior department.

Mu Zhiyuan is currently just a deputy director, and he is not in charge of the leader. However, this person is at a young age and strong, and is a reformist faction, capable and motivated, and has unlimited future.

Li Linlin heard that Mu Zhiyuan's only daughter was married, and Lin Zixuan should be Mu Zhiyuan's son-in-law. So, it's in the capital...

She soon stopped considering this complex relationship because she was deeply attracted by the content of the novel.

After watching "Living", she found that she had misunderstood Mu Zhiyuan.

Li Linlin originally thought that Mu Zhiyuan said that in the capital because of her son-in-law, and she was most annoyed by this kind of relationship household.

The reason why "Hundred Flowers" magazine is that it can enjoy a high reputation in the Chinese literary world is that it strictly controls manuscripts. No matter what the standards do not meet the standards cannot be published. This is pure literature.

Now it seems that Mu Zhiyuan should know that other literary magazines will not publish "Living", so she introduced them to "Hundred Flowers" magazine. She should thank Mu Zhiyuan.

After a brief look, the novel "Living" shocked Li Linlin, as if she was watching a history of the suffering of the nation.

From a small perspective, this is a story about how a person lives, and from a big perspective, this is a microcosm of a nation.

Even without Mu Zhiyuan's relationship, "Hundred Flowers" will publish this novel.

She is a very courageous person. She dares not publish it in other magazines. She dares to publish it first. Then she will make mistakes and write a review. After writing a review, she will make another mistake again when she encounters such a thing next time.

This is repeated mistakes. Anyway, she is Mr. Li’s daughter, and no one will remove her from her position.

There is a saying in this era that "first viewing rights" is that some people can see the content of the magazine before it is published.

For example, Zhang Yimou, director of the National University of China, signed an agreement with "First Viewing Right" with "Hundred Flowers" in 1988. He paid some fees and would mail him a copy after each issue of "Hundred Flowers" magazine.

At this time, before the magazine was launched, Zhang Yimou had time to decide which work he wanted to sign and adapt it into a movie.

This shows that the works published in "Hundred Flowers" are of high quality, and many companies and major directors in the film and television industry will sign similar agreements with influential literary magazines to seize the opportunity.

Li Linlin decided to publish "Alive" and the Qing example of "Hundred Flowers" will also be sent to people who have the "first viewing rights" in advance.

Lin Zixuan was not sure what was happening in Shanghai. He was packing his luggage with Mu Shanshan and preparing to go to the United States.

This time, the two of them went together, not traveling, but staying for the first half of the year, so they naturally had to bring a lot of luggage. Otherwise, the prices in the United States would be so expensive, and it would be a waste of money to buy.

In order to pay Mu Shanshan's tuition for further study, their savings have bottomed out. Fortunately, they will be in the crew in the future, so there is no need to worry, as long as they don't spend money randomly on weekdays.

The only thing Lin Zixuan can't rest assured is his sister.

Lin Xiaoling will be in the college entrance examination in a few months. He was in the United States at that time and could not take care of him. In fact, even if he was in China, he would not have much effect, mainly due to psychological reasons.

He took the college entrance examination too seriously, but Lin Xiaoling didn't care much about it.

There are many people who can't take the college entrance examination for the first year and continue to take the next year, and some people continue to take the exam for three or four years. Therefore, although the situation of taking the college entrance examination is severe, the candidates are still mentally good.

Parents will not take leave to send their children to the college entrance examination, or wait outside the examination room, just like normal exams.

While packing her luggage, Mu Shanshan looked at the house. The things in the house were arranged by them. She was always a little reluctant to leave it and go to a strange place.

"We are going to the capitalist United States and enjoying the world of flowers. How many people dream of good things. The American people are queuing up on the other side of the ocean to warmly welcome us. Your mood is wrong. It has hit the enthusiasm of the American people too much." Lin Zixuan joked.

"Americans don't care about our lives or death. It would be nice if they didn't arrest you as a criminal." Mu Shanshan teased.

"Then we are going deep into the enemy's backbone, reconnaissance of the enemy situation, and preparing for the final decisive battle with the US imperialist empire." Lin Zixuan said generously.

"You guys are just scouting the enemy situation. Do you know the way to the United States? There are not many people who know English." Mu Shanshan shook her head and said.

"So we won't stay in the United States for a long time. Come back quickly after the filming, so as not to find the north." Lin Zixuan said simply.

"It's spring now, and it's autumn when we get back." Mu Shanshan said with emotion, "We have only lived here for half a year, and we have to stay vacant for another half a year. If no one lives there, it's a bit like home."

After all, this is the home they have prepared by themselves. They handed over the keys to their parents and just come and have time to check it out.

In fact, if you rent out the house in the past six months, you can make some money. But the two of you will forget it. When you think about it, you always feel uncomfortable when you think of a stranger living in your house.

This is the place that belongs to both of them, with their common memory.
