Writer Liang Xiaosheng recently at his new book launch conference, couldn't help but give a group of young reporters who came to interview a lesson: "You should ask this question more accurately, you can ask like this..." Under his questioning, several young reporters left his new book launch conference midway.
Never using a smartphone, he sold his new book "The Expression of Chinese Debate" to China Mobile's e-reading client "and reading". The original price of a paper book was 38 yuan, and the electronic version sold for only 5.7 yuan. "I never thought that such a serious book I wrote could be read on a mobile phone." The veteran author has allowed his books to be sold electronically, despite professing to dislike "mobile phone readers" and to hate "mobile phone addicts."
He admitted that he had "no strength" to pull back students
Liang Xiaosheng felt the experience of teachers in an American movie. In a small American town, the quality of urban students is getting worse and worse. Teachers make great efforts to pull them back, but at the end of the film, the leading teacher has to admit that he may not have the strength to pull them back.
"I feel the same way. I really want to pull the students back, but I feel powerless." Liang Xiaosheng's new book seems to be written for contemporary youth. He named the preface of his new book "China_Entertainment to Death Price." He wrote: "Our children, who are often trapped in subcultures, subcultures, and bad cultures, seem to me-they are very poor."
Although his book may be "wishful, embarrassing, and thankless," given his years of teaching experience, he still wants to do what he thinks is right in the great dilemma facing Chinese culture today. "Someone has to do it-before our children all become gluttons and bullies; before our children become angry all the time."
He joined Beijing Language and Culture University as early as 2002 and became a teacher. Once, he showed an old film reflecting the characteristics of the times and people's lives in class. A student jumped out and said,"Teacher, I don't like this kind of film." He was furious. In front of the class, he told the student,"I have a duty and obligation to show you films that match your qualifications. It is precisely because you don't like it and haven't seen it before that I'm showing it to you. You should take good nourishment from it."
Liang Xiaosheng recorded the lives of ordinary people and spoke for them. He was called "the guide of life". However, in front of the post-80s and post-90s generation, this "life mentor" can only shout "I am doing this for you" like their parents, but the listener is very few. In his new book e-book launch, most of the people who came to "support" were middle-aged readers, not many young people, and the scene was really not "massive."
He sat on the stage and mercilessly criticized some "mobile phone controllers." However, a few young people sitting in the back row could not help but fiddle with their phones.
Can the post-80s and post-90s write works different from Guo Jingming
So far, Liang Xiaosheng still can't get used to the current "Internet for all, mobile phones for all" environment. He stubbornly uses the oldest cell phone, doesn't use it to surf the Internet, and never likes to learn how to use computers better.
In earlier years, he shut down the blog he had persuaded himself to start. "It's like a living room in my house. In the past, only my friends could come in, but now anyone can come in. Some people spit, curse, and defecate here, but I can only watch them do so." Because he couldn't stand the harassment of critics who sold advertisements, Liang Xiaosheng resolutely cut off this only channel to contact netizens and readers besides books.
Lately, he doesn't even like watching TV. "When you turn on the TV, it's all about making the audience laugh. I don't think China has a shortage of laughter."
He visited the Film and Television Institute of the Chinese Academy of Arts. "I want to write a story about a person, from his birth in 1968 to his current growth, and I want to make his story into a film." He went to the film and television institute to recruit a group of post-80s and post-90s students to do auxiliary work, and expected these students to write profound, influential words,"I want to see, now post-80s and post-90s can write works different from Guo Jingming's" Little Times."
He called young people together and "trained" them. He told young people that most of them understood what the countryside and mountains were like in the past. But when it comes to "poverty," young playwrights clearly lack imagination. They don't know what the houses of the poor are like, what the villages of poverty are like, what clothes the poor wear, what furniture the poor have.
In fact, China's economy is far from developed enough to eliminate poverty. In recent years, there have also been many literary works and film and television works reflecting the lives of these people, but young people rarely or do not like to pay attention to these "non-selling" cultural products.
"You read more of these documentary books, more of the old films, and you'll write. But you, like most people around you, chose to conform." He reminds the youth of the present generation-never to be like the people around you. This sentence, the most popular "alien" Ma Yun has had a similar expression-if a plan has 90% of people say "good", I must throw it into the trash can.
How much youth can be consumed by mobile phones
Walking in the subway and on the street, those who rushed on the road often did not care much about their pace. At this time, they usually looked down at their phones.
Some people sit on the subway while looking at their mobile phones. After several stops, they find that they are sitting in the opposite direction; Some people in crowded cars, desperately want to twist their arms, take out their mobile phones from their bags, twist them into their line of sight, watch a video; Some people have asked friends to gather together, or before the party begins, or the party is in progress, but feel that it is almost over, they take out their mobile phones and bury their heads in silence. At this time, the party should naturally end.
Liang Xiaosheng's most shameful thing was this bunch of "mobile phone controllers." "I don't like 'cell phone'. No, it's annoying. You can write that in the newspaper. It doesn't matter. It's what I said." He said that if there is a "mobile phone control" among the students he teaches, he will definitely report to the school and ask the student to choose another tutor.
He doesn't object to getting the latest information through his mobile phone, nor does he object to watching the news on his mobile phone, but he objects to watching soap operas and literary dross all day long. He knows that most people are watching unnutritious programs, worthless movies, and in-depth articles, but he still wants to remind young people that if you are like most people, you are destined to be "most people" for the rest of your life.
"Now everyone has gone to college, graduated from college, and found a job, but the differences between people are getting smaller and smaller." You see what he sees, and you don't want to see more than him or see something different. You're just like him." He cited the entry interview that students are most concerned about at the moment as an example."A senior interviewer, from the moment you enter the room, your speech, behavior, self-cultivation, you can see from your face what level of person you are. After three or five sentences, you will be passed without knowing the number of ways."
To say this, Liang Xiaosheng may have "said too much" for an electronic version of the new book launch conference. But at the end, he still did not forget to mention the mobile phone again."You have a mobile phone, not to kill time." How much youth do you have and how much time can you spend on your mobile phone? Young people can't be swallowed up in the quagmire of entertainment culture, or you're finished. You can have fun occasionally, but you can't have fun every day." (Reporter Wang Yejie)
