Chapter 275 Great article!
Chapter 275 Great article!
Li Xunan is the leader of the Municipal Bureau. I won’t go into details about what he is in charge of.
Every move of a great writer can have a great influence. Some are even praised as the backbone of the nation, such as Dickens who exists on Earth and in parallel worlds.
Although Gu Lu's influence is far from being so exaggerated, it must be said that he is a very influential figure in the area surrounding the city of Yu Shui.
His every move not only caused heated discussions on the Internet, but also the city's education department took action.
See what effect that has.
If it is three points good, it should be reported as five points. If it is five points good, it must be reported as ten points.
"Mr. Chang is a really smart man. He knows how to take advantage of advantages when he has them." Li Xunan shared with his colleagues with a smile.
"I heard that your department has already taken action." Deputy Director Liu spoke, and the latter nodded.
Their department started writing "Positive and Healthy Expressions of Youth - Taking No. 8 Middle School as an Example". With this popularity, it would be no problem to be on the TV station's Fog City News.
"This incident is not universal. Even if the high school has sufficient funds, there is only one student like Gu Lu," said Deputy Director Liu.
"One is good enough." Li Xunan responded.
The heat lasted for two or three days, and junior high schools, high schools, and even universities in the Foggy City were all discussing the school magazine "Youth".
Some students even started discussing the essay rankings among high schools in Fog City.
"No. 8 Middle School will definitely be first because of Gu Lu." "Not necessarily. Excluding Gu Lu as a cheat option, I don't think No. 8 Middle School can keep the top spot." "Didn't you watch the recent essay competitions? Bashu Middle School is far ahead."...
Students are prone to produce strange things. Raising stinky water, collecting cigarette butts, etc. are essentially just idleness. Arguing about which high school is stronger is similar.
"What's the big deal? It's just a school magazine. No one cares."
Offline review of manuscripts by the school is more offensive. Many people have fallen out with Li Guyuan, and the person who spoke at the moment was Da Huang, a friend of Tangyuan who had a relationship with him.
The campus dictionary explains sharing food with friends: Regardless of whether you are friends or not, when you see the other person eating, you can go up and share.
"If you don't care, why do you submit your work?" Lu Ping heard it and said something beside him.
This statement caused real damage, and Da Huang raised his voice, "You also failed, didn't you? The eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother."
"I didn't pass because my level is low. I should keep working hard," Lu Ping said. "In a word, if you're not good enough, practice more."
Da Huang was choked and couldn't speak.
Seeing that he was still unconvinced, Flathead sneered, "Do you know who I am?"
"?" Da Huang looked at his classmate who was a head taller than him.
"My composition is so bad that even Gu Lu can't save it!" Lu Ping said proudly.
No, what is there to be proud of? Da Huang didn't understand.
“I can’t tell who has the better writing skills, but I can tell who among my peers has no talent for writing.” Lu Ping said, “My eyes are my ruler!”
Amid much discussion on the internet and under the spotlight of the city, the school magazine of No. 8 Middle School, "Youth", was released on an ordinary morning.
May 5th will be remembered as a day in literary history.
Li Xunan, the head of the education department, came home from get off work and saw his son Li Xiangbei doing his homework.
He asked, "Do you know the school magazine, 'Youth'? It was released today."
"Of course I know. Our school also has seven or eight copies." Li Xiangbei stopped writing and responded as a matter of course.
He was surprised at the distribution capacity of the school magazine. Li Xiangbei was studying in the junior high school department of No. 94 Middle School, which was quite far away from No. 8 Middle School in Sha District. How were the magazines delivered there?
"Have you read it? What was the content like?" Li Xunan asked.
"I couldn't see it at all. There were only a few magazines that were fought over by all classes. I didn't have a chance to read them at all." Li Xiangbei said honestly, "You don't know the scene. There were loud drums and gongs, and firecrackers! Damn, it was so exaggerated."
"Don't say that. You are still studying, how can you swear like that?" Li Xunan corrected.
That's right, this is the shortcoming of school magazines, no matter how famous they are. Without a publishing license, "Youth" cannot be sold outside. Even the adults in the education department can't read it.
Fortunately, there are always more solutions than problems. With the full support of Principal Chang, a factory was specially found to print the school magazine, which was then sent directly to high schools and junior high schools in the main urban area of Fog City by post.
This is why No. 94 Middle School was able to get it on the same day.
The "money" was paid by the school, and the coverage area was negotiated by Li Guyuan.
But what made the school magazine so shocking was Gu Lu himself.
"Dad, are you particularly curious about the contents of the No. 8 Middle School magazine?" Li Xiangbei suddenly asked.
"A little curious, but not much," Li Xunan responded.
Li Xiangbei said mysteriously, "Dad, as long as you come back to eat with me and mom more often, I will let you see it right away."
Li Xunan was silent for a moment after hearing this. "I've been very busy with work recently. I will definitely leave work early after these few days."
"It's a deal!" Li Xiangbei took out a magazine from his schoolbag.
Compared with magazines on the market, it has no barcode and no national unified publication number. Other than that, it is just the publication standard.
The cover is a silhouette of a person waving his fist and seeming to say something.
In the upper left corner is the name of the magazine and the emblem of No. 8 Middle School.
"'Youth', the cover shows a positive and optimistic young man, expressing himself. The implication is good and in line with the country's major policies." The last sentence that Li Xunan thought in his mind was the key.
The photographer of this silhouette is Gu Lu, and the temporary model is Tian Xiao. As for why Tian Xiao was chosen? There is no special reason, mainly because Tian Xiao has long fingers, which looks better from the composition and angle of the silhouette.
"Didn't you say that this school magazine is very popular and can't be seen?" Li Xunan asked.
"It was very popular, but I still managed to grab one in the chaos," said Li Xiangbei. "After all, I am the monitor of our class. The important property of the class must be taken home by the monitor for safekeeping."
"That makes sense." Li Xunan took the magazine back to the study and left a message, "Finish your homework early. I'll treat you and mom to a meal today."
"Guarantee to complete the task." Li Xiangbei responded loudly.
This is actually the case. "Youth" magazine is very popular, but not many students care about the content.
This feels a bit like the fan culture of later generations, where some fans don’t even listen to their brother’s albums, they just praise and buy them to help increase the statistics.
Some newspapers have previously said that Gu Lu is a star writer, and this evaluation does make sense.
"Very professional." Li Xunan looked at the catalog and layout.

[…]
To be honest, Li Xunan would not be interested in what high school students wrote. So he just glanced at it, wanting to know about Gu Lu's article, but there was only the title but no author's name.
"Young China? The magazine is called Youth. Needless to say, this must have been written by Gu Lu."
Flip to the middle of the publication.
The content at the beginning was refreshing to Li Xunan, and the style of writing also felt new to him.
[On Young China
There is a young China in my heart!
The world is dominated by people in their fifties and sixties, while the young people are more likely to see the coming of national politics.
Old people often think about the past, while young people often think about the future.
If you only think about the past, you will feel nostalgic; if you only think about the future, you will feel hopeful.
Only because of nostalgia, we are conservative; only because of hope, we are enterprising.]
At the beginning, it is said that although the current society is led by people in their 50s and 60s, the future of the motherland can be better seen by watching the performance of young people.
The reason is then explained, because the old people like to reminisce about the past, but the young people are more focused on the future, and so on.
"What kind of writing style is this? Something between vernacular and classical Chinese?" Li Xunan continued reading.
The following is a very spirit-enhancing analogy.
The old are like the setting sun, the young are like the rising sun; the old are like lean cows, the young are like young tigers; the old are like monks, the young are like knights; the old are like dictionaries, the young are like plays.
Although Li Xunan is not a young man, the article made him very excited.
"Standing today and looking back to the past, I can see how prosperous the Tang, Yu and Three Dynasties were; how heroic the Emperor Qin and Emperor Han were; how prosperous the literature since the Han and Tang Dynasties was... What a great spirit!"
Li Xunan was also excited. Some people were so excited after reading Xiong Wen that they would read it several times. Some people would read it out loud, and he was the latter.
However, as the leader of the education department, he was shocked by the power of the words as he read on and shut up.
It's hard to put this feeling into words.
For example, if you are from the One Piece world, it is equivalent to being hit by the Conqueror's Haki. If you are from the Bleach world, it is equivalent to being suppressed by Aizen's spiritual pressure. Looking back at history from today's perspective, the politics of the three dynasties of Yao, Shun, Xia, Shang and Zhou were very harmonious; Qin Shi Huang and Han Wu were all heroes; the culture since the Han and Tang dynasties has been even more prosperous. However, the splendor of China today has not reached the height of history. And our generation of young people is to create this kind of prosperity.
"Is this Gu Lu?!" Li Xunan thought, isn't this very similar to the words of a great man? Study for the rise of China.
The great generation did it.
So now young people like Gu Lu must work hard to help China return to the top of the world.
Then he gave examples of energetic teenagers from abroad.
The ending of the article is even more brilliant.
"Fuck!" Li Xunan couldn't help it. Only these two words could express his feelings at this moment.
From the living room came the question from the child Li Xiangbei, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Because in the child's impression, his father does not swear, so what the hell is going on?
"It's okay. It's just that Gu Lu's writing is so good." Li Xunan responded in the study. He really slammed the table and stood up.
I was so excited that just saying "fuck" wasn't enough to vent my feelings.
At this moment, Li Xunan had only one reaction in his heart, "It's going to explode, it's going to explode, the education department and the propaganda department of Fog City are going to explode!"
We must increase publicity and make sure the whole country knows about it.
It's just too late, it's already too late.
Li Xunan didn't get home until the evening, but the school magazine went on sale this morning.
It has long been spread online.
It was spread from Gu Lu Bar.
This was shared by a forum user named "Spirit Land Falls".
Linglu Arrives: [I am a 16-year-old junior who has written an article. Please give your opinions and see if you have the talent to be a writer.
...]
First floor: Sixteen-year-old high school students should just study hard.
Reply: What the hell?
Second floor: I’m not bragging about this level, I reached this level when I was 2 or years old.
Reply: Definitely as old as you are.
Floor 3: The level is average, I still need to practice hard for a few more years.
Reply: Only then can you become a great writer at the age of 18.
4th floor: How many times do I have to say this to make it clear? Do you know that writing a good composition does not mean writing a good article?
Reply: But then again, there is always a literary genius, such as your relative...
and many more.
What is Tieba? It is a place for bragging. There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, as well as crouching dragons and phoenixes. So many forum users are ready to brag without even looking at it.
Let’s pretend first.
But after replying, they looked at the content sent by the original poster and quickly replied to themselves to save face.
On the 250th floor, a netizen named Blue Knight issued a kind reminder: "Before you post a pretentious reply, please be sure to read the content. Really, we really can't pretend to be this pretentious. Finally, @灵陆临-哥, please come out and explain, is this really not written by a Chinese studies expert? Is this really a -year-old student?"
Although it may not sound good to say it out loud, the Blue Armored Knight is actually a good person.
The original poster also responded: "Unless you admit that Gu Lu's supernatural works "Iron Pillar", "Yesterday's Park" and "Flower Rice" are the best works, I will not tell you who the author is."
In just one hour, thousands of floors were built.
Many netizens want to know who wrote such a brilliant article.
Therefore, according to the request of the original poster, many people left messages such as "Gu Lu is the best in the world in supernatural", "A genius in supernatural", "There is no doubt that Gu Lu is best at supernatural themes", etc.
There is no doubt that in the fragmented Gu Lu Bar, today is the peak period for readers of supernatural novels.
Finally, the poster gave a reply: "I'm sorry I lied to everyone. First of all, the person who wrote this article is not my relative. Secondly, "On Young China" is also the work of Gu Lu. He is now in high school and casually founded a school magazine club, and this article is the inaugural article for the school magazine."
[??]
[????]
[??????]
Just typing out a few question marks does not mean there are only these. Instead, there are dense question marks under the original poster's reply.
Because it was so unbelievable, some people began to seek verification.
But such an incredible thing seems understandable when it happens to Gu Lu.
Soon, netizens in Fog City found this article in the school magazine of No. 8 Middle School, "Youth".
You can imagine what happened next. That afternoon, Gu Lu's "On Young China" flooded the Internet.
"This is the kind of literature that young people should read!"
"Just draft a few, I say a few, civilization be damned. Is this something that can be published in the school magazine? This can even be included in the textbooks, the Chinese textbooks."
“The sky is blue, the earth is yellow. Even if there are thousands of years, there are still vast lands. The future is like the sea, and there is a long way to go. Beautiful is my young China, which will never grow old! Strong are my young Chinese, who will never be bounded by the country! Ah, I feel like I’m about to catch fire. I have to do 10 papers today, and I will make my own efforts to help China return to the top!”
"After reading it, I kicked my cow away and plowed ten acres of land. I want to grow potatoes for the country."
"'Why do we have national confidence', 'If there is no Li Bai' Although I know that Gu Lu's articles have always been well written, I really didn't expect them to be so good. The sixteen-year-olds of other families want to bring the country back to its peak. I turned my head and looked at my own sixteen-year-old, who just asked my parents for more pocket money because two yuan was not enough for breakfast."
"This is a chicken soup article that is more suitable for the physique of Chinese babies. Although the metaphor of the elderly and the young is a bit derogatory to the elderly, this is the recklessness of youth. In addition, to be honest, sixteen years old is the time for growth. Four buns and a soy milk cost two yuan, and it is worth it to eat a tea egg, so two yuan is really not enough to fill you up."
"I don't know what it means to be young and frivolous, I only know what it means to be the winner..."
The reply went a bit off topic, discussing how much breakfast money is appropriate for growing high school students.
However, a small deviation in the building cannot affect the violent storm that Young China is talking about.
very crazy.
It is even more powerful than the previous "Flatland", it is so overwhelming.
"Principal Chang, Principal Chang..."
"Why are you calling me in the middle of the night?"
Principal Chang who answered the phone sounded a little unhappy. The implication of his words was that you'd better be in trouble.
On the other end of the phone, Director Hu's excited tone remained unchanged.
"Our school magazine, 'Youth', is very popular," said Director Hu.
“Isn’t it normal for the school magazine to be popular? After all, Gu Lu is the president.” Principal Chang has great confidence in Gu Lu and thinks that with Gu Lu’s popularity, it is normal for it to cause a sensation in the Fog City.
"No, principal, it's all over the country. The internet is full of news about our school magazine." Director Hu said, "My colleagues in the Party Committee Propaganda Department told me that more than a dozen media outlets contacted us in the afternoon, wanting to come to the school for an exclusive interview with Gu Lu. Among them are official media outlets such as Yangcheng Daily, Guangming Daily, and Youth Daily."
In terms of sales and influence, among the Huaxia newspapers, Guangming ranks in the top three, while Yangcheng Daily ranks in the top ten.
Therefore, Principal Chang immediately became alert upon hearing this.
"What did Gu Lu do?" Principal Chang didn't think that the popularity would come out of nowhere. The only thing was that Gu Lu exceeded his expectations again.
"It's a complicated matter," said Director Hu.
"Then just tell me briefly what happened," said Principal Chang.
"Because the inaugural article written by student Gu is so good, it is so good that it is being discussed all over the country." Director Hu said simply and clearly.
Principal Chang had a question mark in his heart after hearing what Director Hu said.
Damn, what kind of article can cause such a big reaction?
How good is it?
How much worse is "If There Was No Li Bai" by Xinxia Society?
"Okay, then I'll go online to see what's going on." Principal Chang believes that he has seen a lot of storms and can keep his composure.
"Also, don't rush into interviews or anything like that. Let me learn more before I make a decision."
After Principal Chang finished speaking, he hung up the phone, stood up and opened his laptop.
Normally, when he gets home at night and has nothing to do with work, he basically doesn't play with his phone.
There was no need to search at all, because when Principal Chang opened the NetEase portal, the large left window of the homepage news was about Gu Lu.
What was the news at this location on the website before? Something like "Super Typhoon Approaching: Ships Returning to Port"
Be nice!
