Chapter 500: Pure Love for Children
Work hard. If you don’t have any connections, make yourself a network.

At this time, Professor Tong invited Gu Lu to have dinner in Chengfuyuan Canteen.

Friends who have studied at Peking University know that among the Tongyuan Canteen, Yannan Food, Shaoyuan Canteen, Changchunyuan Canteen, etc., Chengfuyuan is the better one.

"Why is Expert Gu suddenly interested in scar literature?" Professor Tong asked.

Calling him Xiao Gu doesn't seem that familiar. With the reputation of the person in front of him, Professor Tong feels that he is not qualified and can't call him that. Calling him teacher is a master's degree of the school, which is the opposite. So let's call him expert. After entering the six core think tanks in China, what else can he be if not an expert?
But a passing classmate heard it and couldn't help but smack his mouth. Look, what is the ceiling of students? The professor called the students experts. The passing classmate remembered that when he was a child, he wanted his father to call him dad, but he was beaten up... If I had such a powerful senior, I'm sure my father would also fulfill my insignificant wish.

"I have an idea for a new book and I need to find some information. Professor Tong happens to have this course," said Gu Lu.

That’s great. Professor Tong immediately said that if there are any questions, you can call and ask at any time.

If it weren't for Gu Lu, Professor Tong wouldn't have been able to meet with the editors-in-chief of People's Literature and Wenhui Daily so easily, after all, they are not in the same field.

Professor Tong has a very beautiful beard, long and white, which can cover his neck. It looks good, well-groomed, and has a hermit-like look. The only downside is that it is a little inconvenient to eat.

"I remember..." Professor Tong stroked his beard, "Isn't Gu's next work about Europe? It's the same fantasy as Harry Potter."

"Professor Tong is also interested in best-selling books?" Gu Lu said.

"I'm too busy," Professor Tong waved his hand. "It's hard to focus on popular literature. But your work, Expert Gu, has already gone beyond the pace of popular literature."

At least that's what the professor thought.

To make an inappropriate analogy, a small anchor who sells goods is just an internet celebrity, but a big anchor is a channel, and the levels before and after are completely different.

"I write about one novella and one novel a year," Gu Lu said. "If I don't have any inspiration for a short story, I might write two novels."

Professor Tong said with emotion that it is great to be young and maintain strong creative energy.

The two chatted while eating, and finally Professor Tong said that he was looking forward to a new work inspired by scar literature.

I'm really looking forward to it.

Think about it, scar literature was created by writers born in the 1950s and 1960s, and it is really exciting to see Gu Lu, who was born after 1995, create the same subject.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Lu left school.

He is going to pick up Yao Xiaoju at the airport today. Yao Xiaoju is coming to China from Daying. The matter is quite complicated, so I will make it short.

King Guru currently holds the Commander of the Order of Arts and Letters of France, and is also the youngest recipient of the honor. And because of Mr. Toad, it seems that Big Ying will also be awarded some kind of medal.

But I have a request, I hope to add a preface for Mr. Toad.

If it were just this, it wouldn't be called complicated. But there are two parties who proposed adding order.

One side is the Da Ying Royal Family: [Invited by the Da Ying Royal Family xx, pay attention to the books created by Da Ying Youth Health.]
The other party is the current ruling party of the United States, and the content of the prologue they want is similar to the above.

Yao Xiaoju was caught in the middle and didn't know what to choose. Anyway, he had other things to do, so he simply returned to China and talked things out with the writer in person.

The conditions offered by both sides were similar. Gu Lu was surprised, "Why can the royal family and the ruling party fight?"

"It's normal to fight. The royal family represents the face of the country, while the ruling party represents the substance of the country. Besides, this kind of thing has happened more than once or twice." Yao Xiaoju has been in London for so long, he must have a better understanding of it.

Da Ying is really good at taking advantage of others and is worthy of being called the world's troublemaker.

Gu Lu had to compare the conditions proposed by both parties before he could give Yao Xiaoju an answer.

In the long run, the royal family will always exist, and giving them face can guarantee long-term interests. But the ruling party can provide great support in the short term, and as an adult, Gu Lu wants to have it all.

"So is there any way to have them all..."

Yao Xiaoju didn't say much about the new work's achievements, and Gu Lu didn't ask much either. Because the premise for both sides to want to take credit is that Mr. Toad is the credit. The achievements speak for themselves.

That’s right, the reputation of “Mr. Toad Goes to a Psychologist” has undergone a reversal - perhaps the word “reversal” is not appropriate enough to describe it, it would be more accurate to say it is a “surprise”.

For example, psychologist Ben Bion has a column in the London Morning Post, where he shares a lot of misunderstood psychological knowledge. This is similar to the Chinese Internet's "Identifying Popular Internet Videos".

Today's column title: "Mr. Toad Goes to See a Psychologist" is one of the most important works by psychologists in the 21st century. Gu Lu has given us a surprise.

Many people thought that Bain had also been recharged.

Fortunately, the comments he wrote are meaningful, but the details are too long, so I will just quote two paragraphs.

[In 1936, Italian medical doctor and early childhood educator Maria Montessori proposed a subversive concept in her book "The Secret of Childhood" - "Children are the fathers of adults."

As a psychologist with extensive clinical experience, I am very sure that the mental illness of adults has its roots in childhood. So I will not completely blame everything on childhood, but I also respect the facts.

Yesterday I read through the new work of the famous Chinese writer Gu Lu, Mr. Toad Goes to the Psychologist, which is a popular science novel about psychology. Putting the words writer and popular science about psychology together will make people frown, but Gu Lu's work is well prepared.

His new book, Mr. Toad, presents the idea that "children are the fathers of adults" in a very three-dimensional way. I am amazed and moved by the logic of the content and the rigorous science popularization.

To make it easier for our citizens to read, Gu Lu even borrowed the most well-known fairy tale in our country, The Wind in the Willows, as the background of the story. It begins with a passionate and adventurous Mr. Toad falling into depression, and depicts a map of spiritual growth.

After 10 interviews with the psychologist Cang Lu, the depressed Mr. Toad regained his inner light. As a psychologist, I dare not say that I can do better than Mr. Cang Lu.

During the interview, counselor Cang Lu mentioned three important self-states: child self-state, parent self-state and adult self-state.

The reason why people are suffering is because they are not in the adult state, and the main reason is that they have experienced a bad child self-state, which fully corresponds to the concept that "children are the fathers of adults."

The childhood stage is crucial in a person's life, and I will try to put forward this idea in many of my future school speeches.

The fact that the Education Committee promoted this book in primary and secondary schools was something I could only realize after reading Suoyu. Campus educators need to understand this, and should become students' soul catchers like the consultant Mr. Canglu, protecting children's childhood. If you stand in Mr. Canglu's perspective and think carefully, you can learn some of the secrets of communicating with children. …]
Those who are studying in normal schools should be familiar with Maria, the founder of Montessori education. Her educational philosophy is to "treat children as independent individuals and oppose rote learning."

In the middle, Bain also shared a number of cases to illustrate the practicality of the techniques in this book.

At the end, he praised again: [If he hadn't known Da Ying, he wouldn't have chosen The Wind in the Willows. If he didn't have a clear love for children, he wouldn't have created such a professional work. I now believe that the Weymouth Series is not an attack on Da Ying, but a deep appreciation of Da Ying.]
What is a history book of the years? This is it!

In a few years, no one will know that Cthulhu appeared to fight back against the attack of The Sun.

"Is it really so wonderful and practical? I think I should buy a copy because I don't know how to communicate with my children."

"The pure love for children... It reminded me of the news I saw a while ago. It seems that Gu Lu's family situation was very poor when he was a child. If it was in Lyon, Gu's father would have been arrested and sent to the police station. So is he redeeming himself by creating this work? May God bless you."

"Gu Lu has no professional knowledge of psychology, but he wrote such a professional psychology book. My Jeanne, it's hard to imagine how much effort he put in."

"The Weymouth series is certainly not an attack on Daying. If you hate a place, you won't write about it in a book."

Wait for discussion.

There is even a little genius who said, "It seems that Gu Lu has a popular science book called "Flatland". I heard that it is a work that can arouse children's interest in spatial mathematics. Now that popular science works on psychology have received such high praise, I have an idea that every subject should be allowed to write a popular science book, which can bring some impetus to the education industry."

With such a good reputation, the sales volume was very high.

In the first week, no, not even a week yet, just five days, the sales exceeded 22 copies. If you think about how many people there are in Daying, and think about the rise of the Internet and the decline of the physical industry, this is a very exaggerated data.

This is the audience, the audience of the Cthulhu series is still not comparable to fairy tales. Yes, Mr. Toad is a fairy tale, because from the beginning of the promotion, the publishing group deliberately ignored the popular science attribute.

Because people in China and abroad have a resistance to popular science novels. A large number of people, because they read too many books in school, will skip the popular science novels without even reading the introduction.

"Can the sales of popular science psychology books be so high? Why don't I just write one myself?" Watson suddenly had an idea.

He is very concerned about current affairs. Whenever there is any big news, he will jump out and analyze it with his professional knowledge of psychology. Not to mention it is useless, his income is several times that of psychologists of the same level.

Therefore, Mr. Toad achieved the fastest sales volume of 07 copies since .

Why 20? Because was the year when Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was published. The book alone sold over copies in just hours.

"What do modern people value most? Oh, it's emotions!" Watson thought about it, and his creative ideas became clear. "Should I write a book about why modern people suddenly burst into great emotions because of trivial things?"

"Let's call it 'The Elephant Hiding Behind the Mosquito'. It sounds like it will make people want to buy it."

Professor Watson was thinking this, and he was very proactive, because the next moment he turned on his computer and was ready to write the beginning.

Suddenly, a call came in from the secretary, who told him, "A reporter from the Daily Telegraph wants to interview you."

Watson never turned down an interview, even from The Sun, let alone The Daily Telegraph.

This is one of the four major newspapers in China. The newspaper has a very wide readership because its content is also wide-ranging, with columns on sports, travel, art, fashion, etc.

After tidying up his suit, Watson came to the reception room to meet with the reporters who were going to interview him.

It must be said that unlike Bain, who has his own psychological counseling room, Watson opened a "mental health communication company."

The reporter was a lady named Ani Jike. She looked capable in her grey business suit and always had a contagious smile on her face.

"Hello, Professor Watson, I'm a reporter from the Daily Telegraph, just call me Zeke." Annie gave a brief self-introduction.

The conference room is not big, but it is big enough to set up a camera.

The two greeted each other. The camera equipment was not turned on at the moment. Ani first told the content of the interview. After all, it was a regular newspaper, not The Sun.

"We came here because of the work 'Mr. Toad Goes to the Psychologist'," said Ani. "We found out that Mr. Gu Lu wanted to create such a work after watching the children's play 'The Wind in the Willows' in London a few years ago. At that time, he came to visit Professor Watson. We would like to know some stories about the creation of this work and whether Professor Watson provided a lot of professional knowledge."

Ok?
"Such a secret has been found out. There is really no privacy in this society now, haha." Watson said calmly, but his brain was spinning like crazy. After about two seconds, Watson thought of something. It seemed that he had invited the other party before.

He originally wanted Gu Lu to promote his new book, and then he also praised Gu Lu's work. Wouldn't their status be elevated after this? This is a basic operation in the academic circle.

Unexpectedly, this Chinese man did not play by the rules at all. He took the book and returned to China without making any noise.

"It's not that I don't have privacy. It's just that Mr. Gu Lu was arguing very fiercely with The Sun at the time." Ani said, "Hot news figures must be followed by someone. It just so happened that Mr. Gu Lu came to visit Professor Watson."

So that's how it is. Two thoughts flashed through Watson's mind.

First, it seems that the book "Mr. Toad Goes to the Psychiatrist" is more famous than he thought. Because only with such a great reputation will the media dig into the story behind the book.

Second, Gu Lu must have consulted other psychological experts before writing this book.

"So that's how it is. It makes sense," Watson said.

Watson had an opportunity.

Of course, if he admitted it casually, it would be too embarrassing to be slapped in the face by Gu Lu in the future.

So Watson prepared to "praise" Gu Lu, to praise him as much as he could, to make up stories to praise him, to make Gu Lu feel embarrassed, and to make it difficult for the other party to expose him.

This way he has both popularity and safety.

After figuring this out, Watson drank a cup of coffee and started to make up a story, or rather, to tell it.
