Today, Jianmin dozed off in China's History of Literature class. He was so engrossed in his experiment last night that he started dozing off in class after staying up for most of the night.
"Get up, Jianmin. What do you think?" Professor Yang walked to his side with a smile.
Jianmin woke up with a start. He was stunned for a moment before he quickly stood up and looked at the podium. On the blackboard, the professor wrote in small characters, "On the ideological development of Xiaoxiang Lin's early works."
It was impossible for people not to know Xiaoxiang Lin's famous name. Ever since she was young, she had been in elementary school, middle school, and high school. Her works had always been included in the textbooks.
People called her "The Iron Xiaoxiang Lin, the Flowing Water Textbook".
However, he had never been interested in literature. He chose this elective course to earn credits. Even the works of Xiaoxiang Lin, who was known as a literary giant, he had only learned a few excerpts from his textbooks and watched a few television dramas, movies, and plays based on the original works. Other than that, he had not seen anything else.
However, other than those few pieces, Xiaoxiang Lin's works were also divided into early, middle, and late works. What the hell?
Other than the argument that "Lin Daiyu Lin's acting was ugly" in the television series, he only knew a few of her representative works and some basic background that he had learned in middle school and high school.
Jianmin looked at Jianmin's confused face and reminded him with a smile, "Think about it first. What are Xiaoxiang Lin's early works?"
Jianmin was speechless. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly remembered that he had accompanied his cousin to watch a few days ago on Apple TV. It was criticized by the People's Daily for being "shoddy, misleading, and overly entertaining". He quickly grabbed onto a life-saving straw and said, "'Willow Tree'! Oh, and 'Dream of a Golden Turtle'! "
Everyone burst into laughter.
Jianmin was stunned. What? Did he … say something wrong? He remembered learning in high school that 'Dream of a Golden Turtle' was Xiaoxiang Lin's first novel.
And that TV series, didn't it say that "Willow Tree" was also one of her early works?
Professor Yang was very gentlemanly. When he heard him mention the mistakes that had been repeatedly corrected in class, he only shook his head, smiled slightly, and said gently, "Watch less TV dramas in your free time. Don't spend all your time in factories and laboratories. Young people should exercise more and read more books. Respond to the party's call and increase your literary and artistic qualities."
Jian Min listened obediently. Mr. Yang waved his hand and told him to go back to his seat. He walked around and knocked on the door, waking up many science and engineering students who were sleeping. So he laughed again and read with interest, "Lecture, lecture, startled a flock of gulls and herons."
The awakened "Ou Lu" stares at him blankly. He smiles mischievously and goes back to the podium. He clears his throat and says, "Well, let's talk about the division of Xiaoxiang Lin's works again. Previously, a classmate said that "The Golden Turtle's Dream" was Xiaoxiang Lin's early work, which was wrong. "The Golden Turtle's Dream" was indeed Xiaoxiang Lin's first novel. However, in terms of ideological development, it belongs to Xiaoxiang Lin's later works. Why do you say that? "
Professor Yang showed a slide. "Because Xiaoxiang Lin … Well, let me remind some students again, Lin Xiaoxiang Lin is only a pen name. This talented woman's real name is Lin Daiyu Lin Chuguang. Therefore, Lin Chuguang, Lin Daiyu Lin, and Xiaoxiang Lin are the same person. This is basic literary knowledge. Some TV series made a joke about the surname Lin and the name Xiaoxiang Lin. I hope that everyone will not make the same mistake in the exam. "
Professor Yang smiled when he saw the embarrassed looks on the students' faces. He continued, "When Lin Xiaoxiang wrote 'The Dream of the Golden Turtle', she only released the first half of it. That is, the old version of 'The Golden Turtle's Dream.' Although many TV series lack the rigorous spirit of socialism, there is one thing that everyone should know. That is, when Xiaoxiang Lin wrote this novel, she was only 12 years old. She was still living in the Jia Mansion and was a rich young lady who did not leave the house. She could not be called 'Xiaoxiang Lin.' In 'The Golden Turtle's Dream,' there is also an ignorant rebellious consciousness and a kind of atmosphere that modern people call 'spontaneous sadness.' However, it still did not break away from the old path of a talented scholar and a beautiful woman. Although the feelings of the characters are exquisite and rich, there is a different kind of romantic and very touching, but it is still a love story of a feudal society's noble class. The author herself lost her mother when she was young and her father when she was young. After witnessing many marriage tragedies among her relatives, she placed a perfect and fake love in it. It was a love that was not only in line with her family's views, but also in harmony with her parents. It was a love that transcended the constraints of feudal society's etiquette. At that time, many young people liked this work. They even regarded it as a love bible, and the male and female protagonists in it would die for it. I know that even among today's young people, there are still many people who have read 'The Golden Turtle's Dream' and like it very much. Isn't that right? "
Many of the female students below were pursing their lips and laughing at the same time. Many of the male students were also laughing. One of the male students with a very strong head stood up. His face was red as he gathered his courage to say, "Teacher, I know what you are going to say next. I also know that the love story of the characters is limited by their social class, but I just like 'The Golden Turtle's Dream.' I like Yu Zi Cai and Miss Yin."
Professor Yang also laughed and said, "It is fine. It is very normal for people to like such vivid characters. I also liked it when I was young. After class, come. You can look for the teacher to discuss' The Golden Turtle's Dream '. What is that phrase that is trending on the internet now? Oh, 'CP.' But we are in class now. "
There was a sound of kind laughter from below. The male student heard it and laughed embarrassedly before he quickly sat down.
Professor Yang changed the beautiful and youthful slide of 'The Golden Turtle's Dream' into a dark and bleak slide of 'The Golden Turtle's Dream.' "But how many students have seen the complete version of 'The Golden Turtle's Dream'? It is the edited version of 'The Golden Turtle's Dream' and the second half of 'The Golden Turtle's Dream.' Come, raise your hand to take a look. "
There were only a few people who raised their hands.
Professor Yang joked and said, "There are very few students who have seen it. I remember that the complete version of 'The Golden Turtle's Dream' is one of the compulsory books in middle school. Why, were you all naughty in middle school? "
A female student wearing glasses stood up and said, "Teacher, when I saw it … I really, really couldn't bear to read it."
There were people who agreed one after another.
Professor Yang sighed and said, "Oh, you guys. Back then, I only became interested after I left my student days and learned more about some matters. "
After sighing, he shook his head and continued, "There are very few students who have seen it, just like what the female student said. This is also one of the reasons why 'The Golden Turtle's Dream' is Xiaoxiang Lin's first novel, but it is considered a late work. Xiaoxiang Lin's first half of 'The Golden Turtle's Dream' was accidentally lost and was rumored to be 'The Golden Turtle's Dream.' Later, it was verified that it was her work. However, the second half of 'The Golden Turtle's Dream' was kept in her own hands until she was middle-aged. Then, she rewrote the first half of 'The Golden Turtle's Dream' and combined it with the second half before officially releasing it. "
The bespectacled female student raised her hand again. She adjusted her glasses and asked, "Teacher, according to the remaining manuscript, before the second half of 'The Dream of the Golden Tortoise' was edited, it was originally a tragedy, right?"
Professor Yang nodded and said, "Yes. It was just the second half of the novel before it was edited. It exposed the society at that time. Because she was confined to the Jia Mansion and was still young, the tragedy was still shallow and childish. Some scholars said, 'It was sad.' I still recommend that students read the complete version of 'The Golden Turtle's Dream' after it was edited by her. "
At this point, the bell rang. There were only five minutes before the class ended. Professor Yang put away the materials and said, "Okay, this class will end here. Students, organize the knowledge related to 'The Golden Turtle's Dream'. "He pointed at the topic on the blackboard and said," This is the topic of our mid-term thesis. Everyone can go back and prepare first. "
Because Professor Yang had always been famous for being amiable, a girl with a ponytail said with a smile, "Teacher, class is over. Let's look at the extracurricular things. I heard from a modern Chinese professor that you have clear out-of-print information about Xiaoxiang Lin? Please, please. I just happened to be discussing Xiaoxiang Lin's appearance with someone on the forum. This is also to stimulate people to explore the history of literature. "
This was a student from the Chinese Department of Arts. It seemed like he already knew the inside information. He was waiting here.
Professor Yang was speechless. He coughed a few times and saw that most of the students were attracted to him. He had no choice but to attract this group of students. After all, young people, even though they had undergone a lot of education, most of them liked to look good on the surface.
Finally, Professor Yang turned on the computer screen and turned on the darkened slide.
The slide changed, revealing a peerlessly handsome face.
Although his face was sickly, although he was middle-aged, he still had a slightly proud smile. His appearance was still affectionate, but he was as clear as autumn water. The jade tree stood alone, with a solemn handsomeness.
Even though the photo was not very clear, it still had an extraordinary deterrent power.
The students were all stunned.
The most dazed goose was Li Jianmin.
Professor Yang was a little proud like an old urchin. "This is a photocopy of the out-of-print photo that I exchanged with a lot of work points when I followed into the People's History Archive. You can only look at it, not copy it. "
After a long time, only the female student with glasses could be heard muttering involuntarily, "Didn't, didn't they say that Xiaoxiang Lin was young and delicate …"
When Professor Yang heard this, he smiled and said, "People will grow up and change. This is a photo of her when she was middle-aged. "
It was only after Old Professor Yang left that the students below reacted. The girl with the ponytail touched her face. "Eh? I think I'm blushing? "
"Eh! I want to go back and fight 300 rounds with the guy who said that Xiaoxiang Lin in history was not as good-looking as a certain contemporary TV drama! "
Li Jianmin went out in a daze, his retina still showing the appearance just now.
