Full text of novel
1977 One day in spring. Zhang Junshi, the head teacher of Class 3, Grade 3, Guangming Middle School, decided to accept Song Baoqi, a rogue who had just been released from the detention center of the Public Security Bureau. Back to school from the public security bureau, it's already three o'clock in the afternoon. In the grade group office, he and his math teacher uncle formed the first wave of the team about Song Dynasty. Teacher Yin didn't understand. Teacher Zhang got a rogue in when he was paying close attention to the quality of teaching, fearing that "a mouse excrement would spoil a pot of porridge". Teacher Zhang replied: "Now, there is no reason to send Song back to the Public Security Bureau, and there is no need to send him back to his original school. Since I am the head teacher, then when he comes, I will start my work ... "
Before Mr. Zhang started to work, Xie Huimin, the Communist Youth League Secretary of the class, called him. Xie Huimin is pure and sincere, and has a good personality. Due to the time and energy devoted to social work, my academic performance is average. Before the Gang of Four was found out, she was the Communist Youth League Secretary in her class. At that time, the Youth League sent a liaison to Guangming Middle School, and the liaison often talked with her. After that, Teacher Zhang and she began to have some seemingly inexplicable contradictions. For example, can we organize collective life to engage in mountain climbing activities, and can female students wear short-sleeved shirts in summer, etc. It was not until the Gang of Four was found out that the contradiction between them was completely eliminated. On the question of whether to criticize Song Baoqi's novel The Gadfly, which was found out when he committed the crime, he advocated severely criticizing the yellow book, but Teacher Zhang said, "This gadfly can't be said to be a yellow book." He put the novel with the cover torn off and the heroine's face savagely painted with a moustache in the illustration into his schoolbag and said, "Let's talk about this book another day."
At Song Baoqi's home, Teacher Zhang had the first conversation with the students who will enter the class tomorrow. Ning Baoqi, standing in front of Mr. Zhang, was juryman with her upper lip cracked in the fight. Her eyes are full of emptiness and stupidity. During the conversation, Mr. Zhang felt that Song Baoqi lacked basic political awareness and his knowledge level was only about grade one. Song Baoqi read "The Gadfly" as "Death of a Cow", saying that the book was stolen and could not be understood, but he thought it was a "yellow book". This aroused teacher Zhang's deep thought: Baodi people were not necessarily poisoned by reading toxic books, but fell into the abyss of ignorance because they didn't read anything. He thought bitterly: In the history of human civilization, the Gang of Four used the most revolutionary "logic" and slogans to cover up the most reactionary and ignorant policies. How many other examples can we find?
I heard that I had a quarrel with the head teacher cadre, and Mr. Zhang rushed home again. Shi Hong is a "little book fan" who was influenced by the serious reading atmosphere in his family since childhood. At this time, she was reading the Soviet novel "Table" under the lamp, which was the five female students who threatened to strike when Song entered the class. After reading a paragraph, they scrambled to ask questions; "Xie Huimin said we read" poisonous weeds ". Can this book be called poisonous weeds? " "Is Song Baoqi better or worse than the hooligans in this book?" And said to teacher Zhang: They won't go on strike tomorrow.
From home, Mr. Zhang rode his bike towards home. At the door of Xie Huimin's house, his plan was clear: he would leave the gadfly to Xie Huimin, guide her to correctly analyze the problem and help her eliminate the pernicious influence of the Gang of Four; He wants to carry out reading guidance activities in the whole class and educate students including Song Baoqi. -People's Literature 1977 was originally published. 1 1.
After the novel was published, it aroused strong repercussions from all aspects of society, which was unexpected by the editorial department of People's Literature. The editorial department has received thousands of letters from readers from all walks of life in more than 20 provinces and regions in the east, west, north and south of the motherland. Of course, the education front received the most letters, and many middle school students and teenagers wrote letters accusing the Gang of Four's fascist cultural absolutism of hurting their hearts. A juvenile delinquent in a reform-through-labour camp in a remote mountainous area of Guizhou told Song Baoqi about his similar experience and denounced the Gang of Four for "killing people without seeing blood". Now that he has read the article "The Head Teacher", he has plans to repent and turn over a new leaf. To sum up, the response caused by the class teacher in all walks of life can be described as "a stone stirs up a thousand waves". This is a kind of telepathy and vibration. Liu's novels have touched the hearts of readers or awakened them, which is the strength of the works and the most successful part of the novels.
[Edit this paragraph] Life in a Dream of Red Mansions
When Liu was in elementary school, he found that the pillow on the bed where his father slept was particularly high, so he opened the pillow and found a book "Dream of Red Mansions" in it. There was no paper-bound version, but the printing age was very old, and there were still some in it. Liu found it very interesting. Liu's parents thought he was young and did not encourage him to read, but they did not condemn him. Liu's earliest reading of A Dream of Red Mansions should be in primary school, when he should be twelve years old.
In youth, it should be said that it was in the late Cultural Revolution. It was reassuring to watch A Dream of Red Mansions at that time, because Chairman Mao made some comments on it, and it was reassuring to comment later, and the Dream of Red Mansions was reprinted, so I watched A Dream of Red Mansions at this time. But Liu has his own experience, and that is vicissitudes. However, I feel that Liu seems to have experienced many things, human feelings and human feelings, and began to ponder these things, but I feel that Liu began to ponder the taste at that time.
Up to now, Liu still has a sense of awe and dare not say that he has read A Dream of Red Mansions. Liu thinks the more it is, the better, because if everyone thinks they can fully understand it, it will be correct. Liu is telling you what is right when he talks about A Dream of Red Mansions, so Liu won't read it again. Why does he feel that he is still reading? Now Liu still has to study, and it is still full of freshness. I think there may be new gains.
Mr. Liu believes that A Dream of Red Mansions is a work with autobiographical and family history characteristics, and many characters in it have prototypes in their lives. On the other hand, Qin Keqing is the master key to interpret A Dream of Red Mansions. Only by deciphering Qin Keqing's life prototype can we understand Cao Xueqin's real creative intention. In his view, Qin Keqing's real life experience is the daughter of abandoned prince Yin Yong who hid in Cao Fu during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, that is, a distinguished princess figure. All doubts about her are closely related to her true identity.
There has been a lot of applause and abuse since the lecture room broadcast Liu's program about A Dream of Red Mansions. Of all the voices, Feng Qiyong and Li Xifan, the redologists, made him most angry. "Some people say that I have disturbed the direction of social culture and feel that I am labeling me." . But Liu said that he was a person with a special personality and would not get angry. "The criticism of these redology experts really interfered with my study of redology, but it was also an incentive for me, and I even got a motivation from it. In these doubts and sharp criticisms, I benefited a lot and got an inspiration. " Recorded 24 episodes of Lecture Room, including 6 episodes of Lin Daiyu, 6 episodes of Xue Baochai, 6 episodes of Shi Xiangyun and 6 episodes of Jia Baoyu.
When it comes to A Dream of Red Mansions, Lin Daiyu is an unavoidable topic. The untimely death of Chen, the actor of Lin Daiyu in the 87th TV series A Dream of Red Mansions, also made Liu feel very sorry. Liu combed three classic images of Lin Daiyu: "In the 1940s, A Dream of Red Mansions was first made into a movie, and Lin Daiyu played by Zhou Xuan showed her innocence, which was a classic; In 1960s, Wang played Lin Daiyu in the Yue Opera version of A Dream of Red Mansions, which highlighted her poetic side and was also a classic. In 1980s, Chen fully showed the classical beauty of Lin Daiyu to the audience, which was another classic. Now there is a red chamber draft, and another Lin Daiyu is about to be born. " Liu concluded that this is called a 20-year cycle. Every 20 years, Alin Daiyu will be unforgettable.
