Chapter 97 Foundation of Chinese Classical Learning
We have finished discussing the broader concept of human resources.
Yu Zhen made a few half-joking remarks, mentioning that he had alien friends and that he could foresee the future in his dreams.
It can be considered as planting some conceptual elements in advance for my surreal cognitive abilities.
He had made up his mind that if all else failed, he would decisively reveal the truth about being a time traveler and that would be the end of it.
Yu Cui nimbly hid under the wings and told them everything about the future.
As for the rest, let those who need to worry about it worry about it.
After all, the best choice is for a genuine national policy research institution to control, design, and plan all matters of national importance.
It was clear from Director Qin's conversation with him that if he weren't still too young and inexperienced to earn the trust of many people.
The implication is that he should move his workplace now.
He will be safely recruited into the national team, which will be the ultimate high point in his life.
Having obtained the essential knowledge, Director Qin was visibly much more relaxed and at ease.
The two of them went on and on about whether aliens really exist, to the point that Yu Zhen almost wanted to directly copy the grand story structure of the Three-Body Problem universe.
He will definitely use "The Three-Body Problem" as a reference, but it is indeed too early for this magnificent masterpiece to be published. Creating it now would be self-defeating and would ruin the science fiction IP worldview of "The Truman Show" that he has worked so hard to build.
In the next wave of overseas plagiarism plans.
He aims to conquer Hollywood's Dream Factory with the Truman Show series, making this super sci-fi IP from a major Eastern country a cultural icon that resonates worldwide.
"Xiao Yu, regarding the literary circles in Beijing, relevant departments have recently launched some in-depth investigations and rectification efforts."
However, the results were not ideal, and very few people could truly achieve what Yan Shijian and his nephew did.
Moreover, even now, both inside and outside the industry, there are still plenty of people trying to curry favor, and the scope of these requests is quite broad, so they don't touch on any major issues of principle.
Therefore, you should prepare yourself mentally in advance.
These people will definitely quiet down for a while, but they will inevitably resurface later.
Director Qin suddenly changed the subject and began to explain to Yu Zhen the higher-ups' strategy for dealing with the chaos within the literary circle.
It was clear that the situation was unusually difficult.
The implication is that his literary rivals, his mortal enemies, won't be so easy to clean up in the short term.
Yu Zhen was, of course, mentally prepared for this.
The fact that it is so famous, the composition of its behind-the-scenes forces, and the turbulent waves of the entertainment industry in another time and space that gathered together to form a huge momentum, are enough to explain everything.
In fact, compared to the upcoming wave of students going abroad in higher education circles, the serious brain drain is an unfortunate reality.
What's even more distressing is that these remnants still fantasize about one day lording it over others again.
"Director Qin, compared to the trend of going abroad and the inevitable brain drain, the most difficult problem to deal with has always existed within our own country, at the level of cultural inheritance."
"Oh, Xiao Yu, have you made any specific new discoveries?"
"Specific new discoveries? Hehe, even if the facts are right in front of us, someone still has to think about them seriously and ponder them! Putting aside other things for now, just look at the mainstream creative voice in the domestic literary scene in recent years, which is undoubtedly the so-called painful reflection on the past over and over again."
But do you think this falls under the category of normal creative tendencies?
Director Qin pondered for a moment.
To be honest, he doesn't pay much attention to the field of literature.
Especially in the last year or two, I've really rarely looked at any of the novels and stories published on the market.
There's no other reason than that I'm completely insensitive.
Even if given the chance to pick up a copy of "X Literature," one would quickly become drowsy from the so-called refined literary taste within, losing all motivation to read it in one go.
On the contrary, at the beginning of the year, when that special issue of "Story Club" was being hyped up both inside and outside the circle, he had read it and was truly engrossed in it.
Later on, the only things that still piqued his interest were the science fiction novels that this kid published in the journal "Harvest".
As for those mainstream works of literature that reflect on pain and suffering —
Tsk tsk, it's hardly accurate to call it being without complaint.
Anyway, it just felt a bit... inexplicable.
"Xiao Yu, are you saying that this so-called mainstream of creation is actually someone deliberately creating a certain atmosphere?"
"Otherwise what? Otherwise why, when my science fiction works suddenly became popular, why did they suffer such an overwhelming attack and smear campaign?"
It's all because I disrupted other people's rhythm!
Another question is, why did so many young writers across the country flock to create science fiction literature after the launch of the Xinghan Cup National Science Fiction Literature Creation Competition?
Shouldn't creation be the creator's perception and expression of life itself?
If true reflection on pain is the mainstream, would creators so easily abandon fundamental creative principles simply because the [Starry Sky Cup] creative competition offers high prize money?
"Hiss," Director Qin's mind went blank for a moment. He trusted Yu Zhen's keen judgment and thought about it carefully. The current state of the literary circle was exactly like this.
"Literary creation is a very private expression of thought, but it is easy for trends to form, both inside and outside the literary circle, that are called mainstream creative trends."
To put it bluntly, it's all just a deliberate guidance of human bias.
Someone wanted everyone to see or hear something, so they used their little editing tricks that outsiders couldn't see through.
This is the fundamental reason why, as you just mentioned, the relevant investigation work is difficult to carry out smoothly.
.
Director Qin's face turned extremely ugly because Yu Zhen revealed a very ironic truth to him.
Damn it, intellectuals have such dirty minds.
Before anyone could react, seeing that Director Qin had taken his words to heart, Yu Zhen changed the subject and dropped the bombshell again: "Why is it that our generation of young people, especially those who have passed the major exams and entered Tsinghua and Peking Universities—places where such elites gather—are instead like people advising others to be like Chen Shimei, believing that 'every man for himself' and 'heaven and earth punish those who do not look out for themselves'? It's as if these people with distorted values can suddenly be said so frankly—"
"On the one hand, it is true that people's hearts are yearning for change. As the saying goes, people strive for higher positions and water flows downhill. Everyone aspires to a better life, so they selectively pursue some of the feelings that they would not have dared to easily reveal to others."
"On the other hand, I think the root of the problem lies in the cultural sphere. Many of the wise sayings of our ancestors have been deliberately distorted and misinterpreted and promoted. This is the most vicious substitution, obliteration, and rewriting of the roots of traditional Chinese culture."
"Director Qin, please don't think I'm exaggerating—"
Take the saying "If a man doesn't look out for himself, he'll be punished by heaven and earth" for example. Wouldn't your first subconscious impression be that this saying is very negative, disgusting, and a feudal remnant?
"But are you clear about the original meaning of this classic Chinese saying?"
"Clearly, judging from your expression, you don't understand the true meaning of those words. The phrase 'If a person doesn't act for themselves,' originally referred to personal cultivation. It was our ancestors advising people to strive to improve their self-cultivation and conduct. It was saying that if a person holds a position and has the opportunity to do something, but doesn't work hard to improve themselves and become more ambitious and capable, they deserve to be punished by heaven and earth."
Director Qin was utterly astonished. "Wh-what?! Xiao Yu, are you sure you're not making this up?! Does this proverb really mean what you just said?!"
Yu Zhen spread his hands, "Look! Your surprised reaction shows just how shockingly rotten the roots of our traditional Chinese culture have become—"
