Chapter 216 The right and wrong in Beiping

Lin Zixuan is quite regretful about the novel that cannot be introduced to foreign countries.¥f,

After all, Luxun's novels are representatives of new literature and are unique in criticizing "national character", but everything in the world cannot be done well. Lin Zixuan is not God.

What's more, there will always be someone who translates Luxun's novels in the future, it's just a matter of time.

Moreover, Lin Zixuan felt that Luxun’s attitude towards him was very subtle, and in the future he might be a regular visitor on Luxun’s blacklist of swearing people.

Even without Lin Yutang obstructing it, this cooperation would not go smoothly. It was because he was too wishful thinking and underestimated the position among the literati of this era.

In Lu Xun's mind, he must have been divided into the camp of Hu Shi and Xu Zhimo.

With Luxun's personality, it was considered as giving him face without criticizing him in person.

After thinking this out, Lin Zixuan smiled self-deprecatingly. In this era, position and positioning are very important.

As the saying goes, the way is different, and they do not plan for each other.

Although there is no novel collection "Scream", Lin Zixuan still wants to publish this new literary series.

Yu Dafu was very surprised that Lin Zixuan was willing to promote his novels to the West. After all, Creation Society and Lin Zixuan had a big conflict, and he also mocked Lin Zixuan in his articles.

He said that Lin Zixuan relied on his fame that was praised by Westerners and became a "great" writer in China.

This is actually for Guo Moruo to vent his anger and also for the creation of a society.

At the beginning, Guo Moruo's "Goddess" was published, which was the first shot to create a reputation for Creation Society, and the effect was also very good. However, due to the dispute between the founders of the new poetry, Creation Society was suppressed by all parties, thus making Lin Zixuan successful.

Members of the Creation Society believe that if Lin Zixuan was not available, the Creation Society would definitely emerge and become a leader in new literature, rather than falling to such a down-and-out position.

So. They always sarcastically sarcasticize Lin Zixuan in their articles.

Lin Zixuan did not respond, but Ping Jinya and others under Lin Zixuan were not very polite to the Creation Society and fought back hard. This was just one of the countless debates initiated by the Creation Society.

They have always been using attacks on celebrities to increase their popularity.

Lin Zixuan thought that the novel "Sinking" was the first collection of vernacular novels in New Literature. It reflects the pain and confusion of Chinese youth in this era and is very representative.

He chose his works from a literary perspective, not including personal grievances.

Yu Dafu was very happy and had low requirements for royalties, so the two parties quickly signed a contract.

The two chatted for a while at Peking University. They found that they had many common topics, so they had a candid exchange.

Yu Dafu is a more straightforward person. To put it bluntly, he is self-righteous, and to put it bluntly, he has no scheming, and he says whatever he wants. He hates him clearly and is full of scholarly spirit.

Lin Zixuan's personality is not hypocritical, he is the kind of person who respects me and I will give you one foot, and has a clear distinction between grudges and grudges.

In the past, because the two sides had no exchanges and didn’t know much, I felt quite speculative when chatting.

Yu Dafu explained the misunderstandings in the past, but it was actually not a misunderstanding. They were just a debate in the literary world. He wanted to resolve the conflict between Lin Zixuan and Guo Moruo.

Lin Zixuan smiled, afraid that Guo Moruo's prejudice against him would be difficult to resolve.

Sure enough, after the two separated, Yu Dafu wrote a letter to Guo Moruo who was far away in Japan that night, telling the meeting with Lin Zixuan. He also said that Lin Zixuan is a good person, so let it pass on the grudges of his early years.

Guo Moruo replied that they and Lin Zixuan are from two worlds and he will never accept the mercy and charity of capitalists.

His words were ironic. He thought that Lin Zixuan published a novel abroad for Yu Dafu, so Yu Dafu said good things for Lin Zixuan because he accepted Lin Zixuan's benefits.

After returning to Japan, in order to make a living, Guo Moruo began to translate "Social Organizations and Social Revolutions" by Japanese writer Kawa Naoki.

He also systematically came into contact with Marxist theory, thus establishing a Marxist worldview.

Lin Zixuan also went to meet Zhang Henshui in Peking. This is a writer that Wanxiang Bookstore focuses on training. He has always urged Zhang Henshui to write novels, and the two of them have letters from time to time.

In March, Zhang Henshui finally decided to write a novel called "The Foreign History of the Spring and Ming Dynasties".

However, this novel will be serialized in the supplements of Shanghai's Popular Novel Daily and Beijing's World Evening News, because Zhang Henshui is an editor in the World Evening News.

"World Evening News" is a tabloid founded by Chengshe in 1924. Zhang Henshui has a good relationship with him.

At that time, Zhang Henshui had just come to Peking and met Cheng She, the editor of Yi Shibao. Through Cheng Sheshe's recommendation, Zhang Henshui became the assistant editor of Yi Shibao.

In the past few years in Peking, he has been working with Chengshe, and he can be said to be a friend of mine.

Chengshe I am a very enterprising person. The World Evening News he founded is fair in his position, fair in his speech, and is well-informed and not afraid of power and violence. He has fully achieved the function of the mouthpiece of the people and is very popular.

Of course, his stinginess is also extremely famous.

Taking Zhang Henshui's "The History of the Spring and Ming Dynasties" as an example, Lin Zixuan offered a price of 6 yuan, but in the "World Evening News", it was only 3 yuan for 3 yuan for 1,000 characters.

Lin Zixuan wanted to persuade Zhang Henshui to write full-time and not worry about his salary, but Zhang Henshui politely declined.

The World Evening News has just opened up sales. He is a person who cares about his character. I helped him when he is in trouble. He cannot leave. This is how to be a human being.

Lin Zixuan also hopes to cooperate with such people, and to be grateful is the basic principle of being a human being.

In Peking, although Lin Zixuan is not as busy as Tagore, he has many arrangements.

He met with members of the Crescent Society, talked about poetry, and met Liang Qichao with Xu Zhimo's recommendation.

Lin Zixuan's old academic background is average, and there is nothing to talk about with Liang Qichao, so he just learned some lessons.

Under Hu Shi's recommendation, he and Cai Yuanqi talked about "Dream of Red Mansions". In the current Red Academic community, the three of them had the highest achievements, but later Lin Zixuan did not talk much about "Dream of Red Mansions".

Although the three of them held different opinions, they did not argue much, but only conducted academic discussions.

It was like a small academic conference about "Dream of Red Mansions", and there were also researchers from Peking University such as Wang Guowei and Yu Pingbo, who gathered many masters.

In front of these masters, Lin Zixuan was extremely low-key and humble.

Fortunately, he once studied "Dream of Red Mansions" carefully for the sake of lectures, but there were no mistakes. Some of the views of later generations were relatively novel, which could open up ideas for research on Redology.

At this time, Cai Yuanqi angrily resigned from his position as president of Peking University because of opposing the atrocities of the Beiyang warlords, but he was not approved, so he was nominally the president of Peking University.
