After Li Qiongqiong applied for a laptop, she returned home and sat in her bed in distress. She leaned over the small table and looked at her homework.
When she finally finished her homework, she saw the thesis question: "Talking about Lin Xiaoxiang's Early Thinking Change and the Inevitability of Historical Development."
She felt a headache coming. "Forget it … I'll have to spend a long time in the library to solve this question. I'll go do my homework first. " She put down her homework and wanted to relax. She sneaked a peek and found that her talkative brother wasn't there. She took out an MP3 player.
"My heart floats in the intoxication of the red light …" Because she didn't plug in her headphones, the volume of the song was a little louder.
"Li Qiongqiong!!" The door was pulled open.
Li Qiongqiong hurriedly stuffed the MP3 player under the blanket and swallowed her saliva. "Wh-what?"
Li Jianmin said unhappily, "Do you think I'm deaf? I heard it. "He spread out his hands." Take it out. "
Li Qiongqiong cursed in her heart that it was a dog's ear as she put up a final struggle. "Brother, I applied for that brand of MP3 player with my own credits …"
"Oh." Li Jianmin bent down and took out the MP3 player. He clicked on the evil capitalist song. "You applied for this too?"
Li Qiongqiong blushed. "I-I'm criticizing Big Poison Grass!"
Li Jianmin shook his head and touched her hair. "Okay, you high school students are too curious. Is it good? "
Li Qiongqiong lowered her head in embarrassment. "It's not as good as I thought." She said, "I'm really criticizing! This song is full of pitiful people. "
"Okay, okay, okay. Our little Secretary Li has a very high ideological awareness. It's an open period now. As long as you understand the essence of these things, it's not a big deal. But there's one thing: Hurry up and do your homework first! "
Li Qiongqiong stuck out her tongue, picked up her bag, put on her shoes and ran out. "I'm going!"
"Hey, come back!" Li Jianmin suddenly called her.
"What now?"
"Cough … That, Qiongqiong, the book you bought last semester, 'Sunset, Xiao Xiang Compilation', is it still there?"
Li Qiongqiong stopped and looked at him in surprise. "I thought you were never interested?" Every time she talked about literature homework, he ran faster than a dog.
Li Jianmin scratched his face and said awkwardly, "Ah … I responded to the party and the people's call to increase my literary and artistic literacy, okay?"
Li Qiongqiong rolled her eyes. "Seriously, you've always been lazy in these aspects. You still need to educate yourself! Some time ago, the Art Design Department under the Overall Design Department held a youth student conference. Why didn't you go? Today just so happens to be the day of the literary world's excursion. You're not going either. Now, you're telling me to increase my literary literacy
"Do you want to borrow it or not?"
"Yes!" The books are in my cupboard, go get them yourself. "Li Qiongqiong waved her hand, opened the door, and ran out.
Today was Sunday, and the front of the Workers' Cultural Palace was particularly lively. They were in the middle of a big parade every Sunday. It's's today, the literary and the literary art art tour.
Singing, dancing, and cheering.
Yangko dancers and ballet dancers walked forward together, greeting each other and laughing with each other.
The actors and actresses of the TV series and movies were holding hands with the workers of the film and television equipment factory, singing "We bring joy to the screen". In front of them was a recently famous actor holding a sign saying "Film and Television" and talking to a little girl beside him.
Laughter and laughter filled the world.
Li Qiongqiong was used to it and didn't think much of it. The foreign exchange student next to her, however, laughed heartily. "How interesting! How awkward! "
Li Qiongqiong was unhappy and rolled her eyes. "How is it awkward!"
"What, the yangko dancers and ballet dancers are dancing together. The actors are holding hands with the workers … Isn't that awkward … Look, isn't that the famous actress who played Xiaoxiang Lin! "
Li Qiongqiong was furious, but as the class secretary, she suppressed her anger and said patiently, "Little Chen, you came from the United States, so I understand that it's hard for you to adapt to our public life. You feel awkward. Can you be more specific? "
Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, and then he said with an embarrassed smile, "Ballet is an elegant art, but Yangko is … Ahem. And actors are public figures … "
Li Qiongqiong shook her head and pulled her into the cultural palace. "Yangko dancers and ballet dancers are all dances. What's the difference between elegant and vulgar? There's only the difference between likes and dislikes. Why can't we move forward together? Workers are workers, so are actors. Why can't workers and actors work together? Here, workers are all equal. Your hierarchical thinking is too serious. "
Little Chen suddenly remembered where she was and quickly recited her family's "self-preservation" mantra. She smiled and said, "Yes, I'm pedantic, I'm pedantic."
Li Qiongqiong looked at her expression and shook her head helplessly. She knew that she probably wouldn't listen to a word and that her mind was only filled with the "self-preservation" mantra of a private society. That was why she agreed.
"I listened to the song you sent me yesterday."
"Oh? How is it? "Little Chen asked with a smile.
"It's good, but it's pitiful." Li Qiongqiong sighed.
"Pitiful?" A song that sang about her success and fame, pitiful? This child was too brainwashed by this society. Fortunately, my family fled to the United States when the country was founded. Little Chen also complained about Li Qiongqiong in her heart.
Li Qiongqiong said, "Isn't it pitiful? The author of this song is a famous singer in your country, right? I remember the information said that she committed suicide in the end. Why did she commit suicide? It's the fault of private ownership. Private ownership turns people into ghosts. However, the people in your country only blame her for reaping what she sowed and becoming someone else's mistress. "
Although Little Chen knew a little about "self-preservation", she was still young and couldn't help but say, "You say you want to open up according to socialism. But there's always a private ownership in the east and a private ownership in the west. May I ask, what does her being a mistress have to do with private ownership? She doesn't love herself. Hmph, people in the entertainment industry and the singing industry, except for a few, are just actors. Didn't you have an old saying in the past, 'Bitches are heartless, actors are disloyal'? "
After saying that, she regretted it and hurriedly smiled. "Don't mind it. I, I've been in the poisonous grass of capitalism for too long. It's nonsense!"
Li Qiongqiong smiled. "It's okay. Our school accepts a lot of international students. You're not the only one who thinks that way. Before most people realize the nature of it, they feel disgusted when we mention the word 'private ownership' and think that we're brainwashing them. This is very normal, don't be afraid. We'll discuss it slowly later. "
As they spoke, they entered the cultural palace. Li Qiongqiong was in charge of being the tour guide and asked her, "Which part do you want to see?"
Just as they were talking, a group of people suddenly came in. The one leading them was a very familiar actress. It was the actress who played Lin Xiao Xiang in "The Legend of Lin Daiyu" and was famous all over the world.
Little Chen immediately became excited. "Ah, it's Lin Lin! She's so close to us! I'm so excited! Hey, there's actually no bodyguards following her. How irresponsible! "
Li Qiongqiong was a little speechless. "Don't be so excited. Although I also like Comrade Lin Lin, the actors here are originally members of the working class. They are ordinary people. Usually, no one will go out of their way to watch them. If anything happens, the police are very quick. We don't have bodyguards here. "
As she spoke, Li Qiongqiong pulled her over. "Is' autograph 'popular over there? Let's go and say hello to Comrade Lin Lin. "
"Hey, hey, hey? Can, can I? "
"What are you afraid of!"
Lin Lin was chatting with a literature research professor when two students suddenly walked over. One of them greeted her. "Hello, Comrade Lin Lin!"
"Hello, little comrade." Lin Lin also smiled and greeted her.
The other student was much more excited and was a little inarticulate. "Lin, Lin Lin Lin! Could you please sign your name for me? "
Lin Lin seemed to frown. "Little comrade, this is …?"
Li Qiongqiong explained, "Little Chen is an international student from America. I've always liked Lin Xiaoxiang, and I also like your movies. "
Lin Lin understood. She smiled and said, "Student, you don't have to be like this. Our actors here are not 'stars' from your world. I'm just an ordinary worker. I also like Lin Xiao Xiang. If you have time, you can come to my house as a guest. "
In the end, the dizzy Little Chen was forcefully pulled away by Li Qiongqiong.
Seeing the two older children walk away, Lin Lin sighed and said, "Ever since the opening of public ownership under the guidance of the National Economic Design Department, there have been more and more international students."
The literature research professor smiled and nodded. "Dialectically speaking, this is a good thing. No matter what kind of intentions some countries have in sending people here, young people are always easy to change. They are not so stubborn. Especially when there is a big environment and under personal experience, it is even easier to change. These are all sparks. "
Lin Lin said, "Every time I see these children or go abroad to perform some plays, I feel sad for many of my foreign colleagues. Not only do they dance like a bunch of demons, they even sell their own bodies and even their own health, just for a chance to perform. "
The professor said, "Under private ownership, the arts field occupies the majority of the capital. The arts world has become a dog controlled by capital. In order to get a chance to stand out, actors have no choice but to do this. Otherwise, no matter how good your acting skills are, you will be sitting on the cold bench. Many times, you look good on the surface, but you are helpless. Don't be too sad. From the perspective of development, the oppression can't last long. One day, the fire will burn through the hardships. "
Lin Lin sighed and forced a smile. "Forget it. Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about the next movie. It's a movie based on 'Fierce Maiden Temple.' Previously, when I applied to participate in the Arts Department's literary drama, I found that there were two more roles to choose from. One was Lin Daiyu's role, and the other was the role of the author of 'Chaste Woman,' Yuan Du 'er. After the examination, when the actors who participated in the examination had a democratic debate, someone mentioned whether these two roles should be added. "
As they spoke, they walked in the Cultural Palace and walked to a wall. Outside the wall was a film exhibition adapted from Lin Xiao Xiang's works.
Among them, "Fierce Maiden Temple" was one of the most frequently filmed films, and it was also the most widely performed film in the world.
The professor looked up at the actors of 'Fierce Maiden Temple' and said, "In my personal opinion, from the perspective of literary history, those two roles can be added. After all, Lin Xiao Xiang's works have the title of 'literary history.' Many of them come from her own literary and artistic sublimation and processing. Back then, there was a saying that the protagonist of Lin Xiao Xiang's' Fierce Maiden Temple 'was based on the famous female general Liu Ermei in the rebellion army. And the reason why Liu Ermei was able to escape from the Fierce Maiden Temple was because of Lin Xiao Xiang and her uncle's help. "
Lin Lin nodded.
There were many foreign tourists near the movie wall. Many of them were dressed strangely in front of the wall and crying uncontrollably at the stills.
The professor turned to ask Lin Lin, "Comrade Lin Lin, you often come into contact with people from various countries when you tour. Did you notice a phenomenon? "
"What?"
"Although our country admires Lin Xiao Xiang, we have already bid farewell to the old society. Although our people and our young students can also feel the evil of the old era through her works and are deeply shocked, it is limited to this. In the vast areas where private ownership still exists, including some backward areas where private ownership is still at the level of feudal society, Lin Xiao Xiang is welcomed much more warmly and deeply. Most of the foreigners in front of you are here because of her reputation. Every year, many people break through the blockade of the socialist camp in their countries and come to our country just to visit Lin Xiao Xiang's former residence. In front of Lin Xiao Xiang's tomb, flowers from all over the world are piled up all year round. "
Lin Lin nodded and said with a wry smile, "Every time I go abroad, I often want to return to China even more. Professor Zhang, look at the Middle Eastern woman wearing a headscarf. Her country is still in a semi-feudal and semi-capitalist state. Until now, there are still cruel cremation systems and honor killings. I remember when I went to that country to act in the play "Fierce Maiden Temple" and to release the old movie of "Fierce Maiden Temple" from the previous generation. There was a language barrier and a cultural difference, so I could only rely on a simple screen translation. But the audience was silent, only the sound of sobbing could be heard. All the women present were crying. After the performance was over, they all held my hand and cried. I … I, sigh. "
Professor Zhang could only sigh.
In the venue, Professor Zhang and Lin Lin were still walking around and talking about the movie.
Li Qiongqiong had already brought the overly excited Xiao Chen out of the Cultural Palace. Unable to resist Xiao Chen's enthusiasm, Li Qiongqiong comforted her, "Okay! Don't worry, Comrade Lin Lin said that you can go to her house as a guest, so you can. You have to adjust your mentality and say again: we don't have those stinky rules of your country. Comrade Lin Lin invited you to be a guest, so just treat it as a visit to an elder's house. Don't think too much. "
Xiao Chen's face was flushed red as she said excitedly, "I didn't expect that! Lin Lin is so low-key. She never does any publicity, and there's no gossip or hype. When I was in China, it was not easy for me to get her poster. I didn't expect that today … "
Li Qiongqiong corrected her, "Hey, you'll know when you stay here longer. I said that the actors and directors here are all ordinary workers. It's not like they're fooling you. The 'stars' in your country have to create 'scandals' and 'hype' in order to create value for the capital and get the opportunity to appear and perform. But the actors in our country don't have to. As a member of the workforce, as long as there's a need to act, they can apply to participate in an audition for a role. The score of the audition will determine the list of actors. The final list will be decided by the actors, directors, staff, and enthusiastic audience after a democratic debate. In the end, the best will be chosen. Usually, as a civil servant, they only need to hone their acting skills and can freely participate in the performance of organizations at all levels. When necessary, they have to obey the country's arrangements. Because they're just ordinary workers, they don't need to cater to the capital. So, except for performances, you'll find that you won't find any news about our actors in any 'scandals' or 'scandals'. "
Xiao Chen listened to her talk and felt a little dizzy. She widened her eyes and said, "Like … like that? I've never heard of it. "
She curled her lips in her heart and still felt that it was brainwashing. If it was really so good, why did my great-grandfather flee the country back then?
Li Qiongqiong waved her hand and said, "You'll believe me in the future. Also, what you said before about 'bitches are heartless, actors are disloyal' were all analyzed in our high school politics class as textbook analysis. The so-called bitches are heartless. Why are they heartless? Because they're people who have been humiliated and hurt. They're people who struggle at the bottom of the hierarchy, the bottom of the hierarchy. In that society, even if they have feelings, others won't take them seriously. If they don't abandon their feelings for those who persecute them and hold on to the little money in their hands, they'll immediately die without a burial place. But even so, the 'bitches' that many persecutors derided were often kind-hearted to those who truly needed help. You'll understand if you look at the Yuan Dynasty drama 'Zhao Pan' er Rescues Feng Chen 'in our literature class. "
"As for the saying that actors are disloyal, the logic is the same. What kind of people are disloyal to actors? To those persecutors who treat them and them as playthings, toys, and casually harm them, they're naturally two-faced and 'heartless'! Do they have to be 'righteous' to jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards and put themselves in a desperate situation? So much so that many times, some people even completely implement 'heartless' as cold-hearted people. That's not their fault. They've just been turned into that by the old society. "
After a pause, Li Qiongqiong said, "No matter how you think we're brainwashing, under private ownership, the old society turned people into ghosts. This isn't a lie. You'll understand in the future. "
Brainwashing! Brainwashing! Xiao Chen still thought so in her heart. However, her eyes were a little moist. She thought of her aunt who jumped into the river to commit suicide. She was also once an actress and an inconspicuous mistress of a big shot in Hollywood. However, her aunt loved acting until her death.
If, if, if Little Aunt was still alive and heard these words, would she be happier?
Why do you believe in these people's nonsense? Bah! It's all brainwashing! The moment Xiao Chen realized her thoughts, she shook her hair and tried her best to warn herself.
The shadows of the two children slowly elongated under the setting sun.
