Chapter 34 Classic American Prose
In addition to Wang Defu's article "Listening to the Snow Night", this issue of "Studying" also includes articles from other philosophy students.
However, their articles, compared with "Listen to the Snow Night", naturally become a foil, but the more the number of articles, the more it can certainly save face for the entire philosophy department.
Didn’t the people in the literature department say that all the students in the philosophy department are sluts? There is a new issue of "Xueju" as evidence, which shows that the students in the philosophy department are just low-key, not completely lacking in talent.
Before getting the new issue of "Studying", Cao Rongqing, the class monitor of the philosophy department, was still sighing with a few classmates. He said: "Wang Defu in our class is really too stubborn. He actually threw his articles out. Isn't this sending ammunition to that Huang Dapao! Huang Dapao has a good relationship with an editor in "Studying" and will definitely get Wang Defu's defeat in the election. At that time, it will definitely be a sarcasm."
"Team leader, you actually don't need to worry about Wang Defu. I think his heart is not in the school at all. He is also the kind of person who can face any ridicule. To be honest, you don't know what can make him angry with such a person."
"Anyway, it's enough that our philosophy department can be kept. If Wang Defu wants to be embarrassed, just let him go. You are kind and righteous to him, you will do your best."
"I think Wang Defu probably is quite talented in literature, but he hid it too deeply so that we didn't know it."
...
Just as Cao Rongqing was chatting with several classmates, the literature department on the other side was also talking about Huang Kan.
Huang Kan himself is not ugly and a little handsome. He even has long hair and is wearing a retro Hanfu. There is a natural sense of mean coldness on his face. When his sharp eyes swept towards others, most people will subconsciously avoid it.
Students in the literature department were particularly excited before each issue of "School" was released because in their minds, they really regarded this school magazine as their stage. If they could perform successfully on the stage, they would feel that they were the center of the world.
"Wang Defu of the Department of Philosophy, except for being handsome, has never heard of any accomplishments in literature. If he can publish an article in "Xueju", I will eat shit!"
"You are so good at cheating on food and drinks. Isn't this someone said that you should learn to learn to eat and drink from Wang Defu? "The "Study" is all played by his family. Can't he easily publish articles on it?"
"Fang Hongyun, your sarcasm is really good, hahahaha!"
...
Just as the whole classroom was filled with joy, Huang Kan, dressed in retro Hanfu, suddenly spoke, his voice as cold as a sword: "Wang Defu's work was adopted and received praise from almost all editors."
As soon as Huang Kan said this, the other students in the literature department seemed to have been pressed and all became quiet.
No one dares to question Huang Kan's words. Even if the school magazine has not been published yet, everyone knows that Huang Kan often publishes articles in school magazines and has a good relationship with an editor in the school magazine, so he can naturally know some news in advance.
"Haha, I want to see what amazing work he wrote that actually made these editors who were above the top were impressed by it. It was still vernacular. I don't believe that there is vernacular in this world that can write 'supreme beauty'." Huang Kan was like the most picky diner, waiting to taste the dishes made by Wang Defu.
As for the "supreme beauty", he naturally described it from the editor, and he felt it was a bit incredible, but because he still recognized the level of editorial "School", and he also needed to have a good relationship with the other party and dared not offend them easily.
In this case, the school magazine "Xueju" was finally released, and naturally it was received by students from both sides at the first time. The attention of this issue of the school magazine was unprecedented.
Fang Hongyun, a student in the literature department who just spoke sarcastically, opened the new issue of the school magazine with an extremely pious heart. He quickly flipped through the insignificant pages such as school news in front, and then saw Wang Defu's classic article "Listening to the Snow Night".
He did not read the article first, but read the evaluation of Zhu Moche, the editor-in-chief of the literary and artistic section that he admired more. The other party actually wrote nearly a thousand words of comments, and this review can take up a whole page!
"... The whole article of "Listen to the Snow Night" is full of poetry and painting. The author captures every moment worthy of sighing in life. The brushstrokes quietly wander with the changes of surrounding things, showing a peaceful mentality and philosophical contemplation in a quiet state. From this, I can feel the author's loneliness, sadness and calmness, and even more so that he can feel his love for nature. This is a vernacular article that I have seen since the New Culture Movement. The gorgeous and beautiful writing style can be said to have subverted..."
Fang Hongyun clearly saw the scene of the editor-in-chief Zhu Moche whom he admired and worshipped this essay. You should know that Zhu Moche is a relatively famous senior in the Chinese department. Although he has not graduated yet, there is a famous magazine in the Magic City that has sent him an invitation, which has made many students from the same department envious.
Fang Hongyun then began to read Wang Defu's article "Listening to Snow Night", and at this time he found that the classmates around him had fallen into endless silence, as if they all followed Wang Defu's brushstrokes and went to that Snow Night.
Most of the students in the literature department have the heart of a literary youth. The more literary adolescent people read this article "Listen to the Snow Night", the more they will be deeply immersed in it because they appreciate its ultimate meaning and beauty. On the contrary, if ordinary people who love to read popular novels read this essay, it would be a waste.
Anyway, after a hundred years, this essay is definitely qualified to be selected for high school Chinese textbooks. Its template can be referred to the "Late Autumn and Early Winter" by the famous Japanese essayist Tokufu Luhua. This "Late Autumn and Early Winter" was selected for Chinese textbooks.
Wang Defu's "Listen to the Snow Night" is not inferior to "Late Autumn and Early Winter". He shows his literary talent in the fullest in this essay, which is a pity that only readers of that parallel world can appreciate such classic and beautiful articles.
