Xiao Chongyang first looked at the prose poem "The Song of the Stormy Petrel." The indomitable fighting spirit between the lines made Xiao Chongyang's eyes light up. Then he looked at "Hua Xia for Young Men." He could not help but ask, "Are these 'The Song of the Stormy Petrel' and 'Hua Xia for Young Men' really written by Xiao Yunhai?"
Lan Fangyuan nodded and said, "That's right."
Xiao Chongyang said, "Putting aside our relationship as uncle and nephew, purely based on the essay, it is indeed very well written. It makes people feel a sense of uplifting spirit when they read it. It is suitable for children to learn. Haha, I didn't expect this kid to not only write martial arts novels, but also write poetry and prose. "
Lan Fangyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Chief, there is indeed no problem with these two essays being selected as Hua Xia primary school textbooks. But the key is in the third essay. It is a novel called 'The Diary of a Madman.' It is simply too scary. "
"The Diary of a Madman?"
Xiao Chongyang looked at the third essay, which was also the essay with the most words. He read it seriously.
After only twenty seconds, Xiao Chongyang frowned. His expression was extremely solemn.
Three minutes later, Xiao Chongyang, who had not even read one-tenth of the essay, put down the manuscript, took a deep breath, and said, "This kid is really ruthless. Not only did he expose the trauma of the entire society to the world, but he also added a handful of salt to it, causing people to be in so much pain that they are covered in cuts and bruises. Minister Lan, do you think the phenomenon of 'cannibalism' still exists in our society? "
Lan Fangyuan said, "No one in the big cities would dare to openly 'eat people,' but in those relatively closed villages, I cannot guarantee it."
Xiao Chongyang took the manuscript and slapped it twice on his thigh, saying, "What do you think?"
Lan Fangyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Chief, I just feel that it is not easy to handle, so I came to ask for your instructions."
Xiao Chongyang said, "I am his uncle. It is even more inappropriate for me to say anything. This is the first time in 20 years that the Hua Xia Literature Association has seriously recommended these three essays to the Ministry of Education. You must be careful. If you ask my opinion, that 'The Diary of a Madman' should not be placed in primary school textbooks. This kind of novel, not to mention elementary school students, even middle school students, high school students, and even university students who have never entered society would find it difficult to fully understand. "
Lan Fangyuan asked, "Chief, will Mr. Xiao's novel have a negative impact on society? Should we seal it? "
Xiao Chongyang waved his hand and said, "Absolutely not. If the government did that, wouldn't it make us look guilty? 'A Madman's Diary' is a 'Cannibal's Diary'. Our government wants to use practical actions to tell all the people of Hua Xia that 'cannibalism' will never happen in today's Hua Xia. "
Lan Fangyuan nodded, and then left.
Two minutes later, the head of the publicity department and the head of the culture department came over together. They were also asking about the handling of the Diary of a Madman.
Xiao Chongyang thought to himself, "Literati kill people with the brush. My nephew used a novel written in vernacular to disturb the peace of the three major departments. He can be considered to have the atmosphere of an ancient literati. However, I also need to give him a warning. If this continues, it will be terrible. "
After sending away the two heads of the publicity department and culture department, Xiao Chongyang returned to his office and called Xiao Yunhai.
The call went through very quickly. Xiao Yunhai's voice came from the other end.
"Hello, I'm Xiao Yunhai. May I know who you are? "
"I'm Xiao Chongyang."
"Second Uncle?" Xiao Yunhai stared blankly, and said, "Really? You're so busy with work. Why are you so free and elegant to call me? "
At home, Xiao Leshan and Xiao Chongyang liked Xiao Yunhai the most.
The reason was very simple. When Xiao Yunhai talked to them, he never treated them as leaders. He completely stood from the perspective of a family member. He was unrestrained, did whatever he wanted, and dared to say anything.
This was something that even Xiao Yuanyang could not do.
Xiao Chongyang sneered and said, "Isn't it all because of you? I couldn't tell that you had some literary talent. You could actually write poems like 'A Young Man in Hua Xia' and 'The Song of the Stormy Petrel'. But, what's up with that 'A Madman's Diary'? Is our Hua Xia society so dark? "
Xiao Yunhai said in surprise, "No way? Second Uncle, how do you know so clearly? I only wrote a novel the night before yesterday. How did it reach your ears? "
Xiao Chongyang snorted and said, "Just now, the three ministers of the Publicity Department, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Culture came to me one after another to talk about this novel. In just two days, this' A Madman's Diary 'has spread throughout Hua Xia. There are at least a hundred million people who have read it. How big the impact is, don't you know? "
"Hmph, you're the richest man in the world. You're really something. I heard that your relationship with Zhang Xuanlin seems to be very bad. You even quarreled at the meeting. I didn't expect that with just three articles, he would be completely convinced. He even wrote a recommendation letter in the name of the Hua Xia Association, strongly asking the Ministry of Education to put it in the students' textbooks. The other two articles were fine, but when I read the beginning of 'A Madman's Diary', I started to sweat. Do you think I dare to let the children read it? "
Xiao Yunhai didn't expect Zhang Xuanlin to do this for him. He also didn't expect that Lu Xun's articles from his previous life would have such power in this world. He said, "Second Uncle, I didn't expect things to turn out this way. What do you think we should do? Do you want me to make a statement saying that the world in 'A Madman's Diary' doesn't refer to Hua Xia? "
When Xiao Chongyang heard this, he laughed and scolded, "You're just trying to cover it up. I've already dealt with this matter. Remember, don't write such articles in the future. Although we have freedom of speech in Hua Xia, it's not that open. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "I mainly did it because I was angry with Teacher Zhang. I didn't deliberately reflect modern society. Don't worry, I'll focus on acting in the future. I won't write such things again. "
Xiao Chongyang said, "That's not necessary. You can write more articles like 'The Song of the Stormy Petrel' and 'Tales of a Youth in Hua Xia' that are full of positive energy. Speaking of which, I really didn't expect you to have such literary talent. Alright, I still have things to do. I won't chat with you anymore. Goodbye. "
After hanging up, Xiao Chongyang shook his head and picked up 'A Madman's Diary' to read again.
Five minutes later, he started working.
Xiao Yunhai put down his cell phone and said proudly to Zhao Wanqing, "Honey, see if I'm good or not. One 'A Madman's Diary' has shocked the three major departments of Education, Culture, and Publicity. It even reached Second Uncle's ears. Thinking about it, I'm a little impressed by myself. "
Zhao Wanqing rolled her eyes and said, "You really dare to write. When I read it yesterday, I broke out in a cold sweat. I think the others are about the same. If I was beside you the night before, I definitely wouldn't have let you publish it. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Let's not care about the impact. Just tell me if my writing is good or not?"
Zhao Wanqing looked at Xiao Yunhai with admiration and said, "Just based on the article, it's really very good. It's much better than Teacher Zhang Xuanlin and the others. Hubby, you're really talented. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "That's right. I'm a genius. However, speaking of Teacher Zhang Xuanlin, he's really generous. Just now, I heard Second Uncle say that this old man actually used the name of the Hua Xia Literature Association to request the Ministry of Education to choose these three articles as teaching materials. I really didn't expect this. Hehe, to be honest, I'm liking him more and more now. "
Zhao Wanqing said with a look of surprise, "Hubby, can your article really be included in the Hua Xia School's teaching materials? That's really great. In the future, when the two children go to school and find out that Dad's article is in their textbooks, they'll be so proud and proud. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Unfortunately, this matter isn't set in stone yet."
At night, Zhao Wanqing made a table full of dishes and called the parents of both families over for dinner.
At the dinner table, Zhao Wanqing told them that Xiao Yunhai's article was likely to be included in the teaching materials. Everyone was very happy.
Especially Xiao Changfeng. He had taught Xiao Yunhai the traditional culture of Hua Xia since he was young. Now that his article could be included in the teaching materials, it made him feel proud.
"Yunhai, I've seen the three articles you posted on the homepage. To be honest, they were really well written. However, that vernacular novel was a little too ruthless. It directly exposed the nature of society. I'm afraid it won't be included, "said Zhao Mingsheng.
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "Dad, I really didn't expect them to be included in the textbooks. It's my fortune to get it, and it's my fate to lose it. Let him be. "
Xiao Changfeng shook his head and said, "Yunhai, to be able to get the recommendation of the Hua Xia Literature Association is not a simple matter. This will attract the attention of the Ministry of Education. In the past ten years, you are the first. Furthermore, it's three articles at once. It can be said to be unprecedented. Therefore, other than 'A Madman's Diary', 'The Song of the Stormy Petrel' and 'A Youth's Tale of Hua Xia' are very likely to be included. "
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "I hope so."
