Chapter 132 Let's Exchange Martial Arts

September 1978, 9, Sunday, was also Mid-Autumn Festival.

It was on this day that the mutual aid fund project of the Economics Department was officially launched.

With Liu Wei and Tao Haisu gathering the class committee members of the two classes in the Department of Political Science and Economics to promote and push forward, it was finally officially implemented on the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After learning that Li Changhe used the film adaptation fee as mutual aid fund, many students were silently grateful in their hearts, although they did not say anything.

Even the teachers in the department were amazed when they found out about it, and when I talked about it with teachers from other departments, they all felt proud of it.

After all, in this era, most students are poor, and being poor is the normal state. Only a very few can receive a salary from their company and study in school.

Even with government subsidies, most people still struggle to make ends meet.

Even if some people want to borrow money, there is no one to borrow from, after all, most of their classmates are not rich.

Some people know that Li Changhe is rich and earns royalties as a writer, but he only receives the lowest level of scholarship from the government.

But he was not familiar with Li Changhe, and Li Changhe was often not at school. When he wanted to borrow money from Li Changhe, he either couldn't open his mouth or couldn't find him.

Now, the money has been placed in the cash box of their dormitory, and anyone who needs it can apply for it publicly.

Of course, Liu Wei and his team also made detailed regulations, including requirements on the number of times each person can apply and the upper limit of the amount.

Generally speaking, five or ten dollars is the upper limit. It is impossible for you to borrow a hundred dollars just because you ask for it.

Li Changhe didn't care about these. The money came unexpectedly. After he got it, he took advantage of the source and did this thing.

To put it bluntly, if you ask Li Changhe to take money out of his family to set up this mutual aid fund, many people might think that Li Changhe is putting on a show.

However, since I received the novel adaptation fee openly in school, it is normal to take this money out.

It’s just like when you win a big prize at school in the future, you can keep it for yourself, but you can also take out some of it to buy something for your class.

Anyway, everyone knows where the money comes from, and everyone will judge right from wrong.

Then in the following days, Li Changhe clearly felt that his popularity in school had improved.

Most importantly, the school also came to him.

Inside the department office, Dong Wenjun looked at Li Changhe with a smile even brighter than last time.

"You kid, don't you feel bad about taking out so much money?"

Li Changhe smiled and said, "Teacher Dong, you said it as if the money is not mine anymore. The money is in the cash box in our dormitory. I can take it anytime I need it."

"I just provide some convenience to my classmates when I'm not using it. There's no need to feel bad about it."

"Yes, I guess this amount of money is nothing to you, but you have a good understanding."

"I'm just wondering, you have such a good consciousness, why don't you apply to join D?"

Dong Wenjun asked Li Changhe with a smile.

After hearing this, Li Changhe was slightly stunned, and then he seemed to be thinking about something.

What does Teacher Dong mean by this? Is he persuading him to join D?
Li Changhe is still not a D member for many reasons. For example, when he was an educated youth, he had a bad background and was not qualified to join.

After he came back, he did not participate in social work until he was admitted to university. Even after he came to Peking University, he was not considered to be one of the most upright people.

In addition, influenced by the thinking of later generations, he was not so eager to join the organization, so Li Changhe never took the initiative in this matter.

But it must be said that in this era, entering D is definitely a very important and glorious thing.

The application process for admission to D is still very strict at this time, and if you are not truly outstanding, you will not be approved at all.

"Teacher, you know my family situation. I applied for it when I was an educated youth, but it was rejected, so I never applied again."

Li Changhe certainly couldn't say that he hadn't considered this matter, so he could only bring up the reasons for his previous rejection.

Dong Wenjun shook his head: "That was all in the past. We have changed now and broken the class-based theory."

"This time the school has a number of places for D, and our department got one. The teachers were still struggling over who to give it to, but after a meeting, they finally decided to give it to you!"

"Ah? Doesn't this require an open selection?"

Li Changhe asked in surprise.

Dong Wenjun looked at him and said with a half-smile, "How do you know there's no open election?"

"Don't worry, your position was nominated by the department after a meeting with two class committee members. After the nomination, the school Youth League Committee has already conducted a preliminary investigation of you among the students in the department."

“Do you know what your approval rating is?”

"One hundred percent. I asked so many classmates and no one objected. You must be very popular."

"Okay, go back and write the D application. When you're done, give it to Tao Haisu, and he'll help you submit it to the Youth League Committee."

"Keep up your good performance!"

At this time, Dong Wenjun patted Li Changhe on the shoulder and said seriously.

"Okay, thank you Teacher Dong."

Li Changhe then walked out of the office and began to think while walking on the road.

Joining the D was also a pleasant surprise for him, because his current D membership status was very useful.

Especially during the political review, D member actually represents the passing of the political review.

Just like when they were recruiting students for college, he and Haiwen had the same family background, but Haiwen had more overseas connections than him.

But the teacher surnamed Qian dared to make trouble with his file problem, but did not dare to bring up Haiwen's file.

The reason was that at that time Haiwen had already joined the D locally, but Li Changhe was not a member of the D.

For example, students from other departments are not allowed to audit classes in the law department now, but it is not completely prohibited, and you can also apply to audit.

But there is a prerequisite for applying, that is, you must first be a D member.

why?
Because there are nearly a thousand students in the class of 77 at Peking University, and less than a hundred of them are D members.

Among these one hundred people, half are from the law department, sixty students, all of whom are D members.

The teaching materials are all top secret and are stamped with confidential seals.

Even though Jiang Mingan and the others have a good relationship with Li Changhe, Li Changhe cannot see their textbooks. If you are lucky, you can see the cover of their textbooks.

It can be said that if Li Changhe had entered D after graduating from Peking University and gone to Zheng, he would have been a big step ahead of 99 percent of his classmates.

With his status and academic qualifications, it is even bold to say that there is a great possibility that he will be assigned to the highest government agency overnight.

Too bad, that's not his interest.

But it's good to have this opportunity. At least, it should make his plan go more smoothly and safer in the future.

When Li Changhe returned to the dormitory, he unexpectedly found that Lao Tao and the others were all there.

"How's it going, Changhe, are you surprised?"

Obviously, the school Youth League Committee was conducting a preliminary investigation, and these students must have known about it a long time ago, but they just kept it a secret from Li Changhe.

"That was such a surprise. I was stunned when Teacher Dong asked me that!"

"Starting tomorrow, I will also be an active member of the D."

Li Changhe had to be "surprised" at this time, and he immediately said with great "surprise".

"Don't worry, you still have one more level to go!"

Lao Tao looked at Li Changhe at this time and said seriously.

"Ok?"

Li Changhe looked at Tao Haisu in surprise. Tao Haisu said seriously, "After you submit your application, the higher-level D Committee of the school will send someone to talk to you."

"You have to explain your past experiences clearly, basically your experiences since you went to the countryside as an educated youth until now. Just tell the truth. As long as you haven't committed any serious mistakes, there will be no problem."

"Of course, you can't lie, because the organization will send people to verify it." "Then there will be a preparatory period. Soon, by this time next year, you will be a real comrade."

Tao Haisu explained science to Li Changhe.

After the 11th National Congress last year, the preparatory period for admission to D was restored to one year.

"Okay, I'm surprised that I can get in. One year is nothing!"

Li Changhe said with a chuckle.

Li Changhe and his friends celebrated the admission to D in a small way. Instead of going to the Changzheng canteen for dinner, they chose to play a basketball game on the basketball court.

After all, this is not something that should be publicized loudly. We can just play basketball and sweat a little.

In the following period of time, Li Changhe became even busier.

In addition to daily classes, study, and library research, the literature club finally received a reply from Mr. Mao Dun.

At this time, Mr. Mao Dun was ill and could not come to Peking University in person to attend the Restoration Society ceremony.

However, he still personally wrote the title of "Weiming Lake" and the reply letter and had them delivered.

After receiving Mr. Mao Dun's reply, the May Fourth Literary Society also determined the date for its revival, which was September 23, which was also a Saturday.

Li Changhe also called the People's Literature Office at school. After Liu Jianqing checked the time, he agreed to attend.

Soon, it was September 23rd.

Li Changhe didn't have any classes in the morning, so he didn't need to ask for leave.

Inside the library, when Li Changhe arrived, Chen Jiangong and others were already busy.

"Changhe, you're here. Just in time. You and Lao Zou will go to the door to pick someone up later."

As soon as Chen Jiangong saw Li Changhe coming, he immediately assigned him some work.

"Row!"

Li Changhe came in from the back door because it was closer to the dormitory.

After hearing Chen Jiangong's arrangements, he quickly came to the main entrance of the library, where Zou Shifang and others were already waiting.

"Changhe, come quickly."

Seeing Li Changhe coming, Zou Shifang waved to him hurriedly.

This time when the Literature Society is revived, the school's deputy secretary of the D Committee Ma Shijiang, vice president Ji Xianlin, first-class professors Zhu Guangqian and Wang Yao, and Mr. Lu Xun's close friend Zhang Tingqian (Kawashima) will all be present.

In addition, they also invited many social writers, such as poetry critic Xie Mian, writer Liu Xinwu, etc.

When Liu Xinwu came, Li Changhe took a special look at him.

Liu Xinwu is very tall, about 1.85 meters tall, about the same height as Li Changhe, and is still a very capable young man.

"Student Li Changhe, I finally see you."

After greeting Zou Shifang at the entrance of the library, Liu Xinwu came to Li Changhe and spoke excitedly.

"Hello, Editor Liu!"

Liu Xinwu is now a literary editor at Beijing Publishing House. Yes, it is the Beijing Publishing House that is about to publish a collection of Li Changhe's novels and will soon launch "October".

"In fact, I have wanted to visit you for a long time, but I have not met you after looking for you several times. To be honest, if your novel "The Educated Youth" had not been published last year, I would not have dared to publish my novel "Class Teacher" at all."

Liu Xinwu spoke seriously to Li Changhe at this time.

Li Changhe was speechless after hearing this.

Skillful.

Li Changhe really wanted to say, it was only because I saw that you submitted the article "The Death of an Educated Youth" in your previous life that I boldly wrote and submitted it.

However, Li Changhe has made some changes to the literary world. "Scars" was published in August this year, but it did not cause a historical sensation.

The reason is that many plot points of "Scars" are similar to Li Changhe's novels and are considered to be imitations.

The most important thing is that no one is calling for scar literature now, because Li Changhe wrote a lot of manuscripts to earn royalties, and most of them were about educated youth.

Nowadays, the term "Scar Literature" has replaced "Scar Literature" in the literary world. Li Changhe is now naturally the founder of "Scar Literature".

This is also the reason why Li Changhe is so famous now. Although he does not participate much in the writer's circle, the legend of Li Changhe has begun to spread in the circle.

"I've been traveling a lot lately, so I'm not in a fixed place. I'm really sorry that you made a few wasted trips."

Li Changhe said with a smile at this time.

"Liu Xinwu?"

"Hey, Editor-in-Chief Liu, you're here too?"

At this moment, Liu Jianqing also walked in. Seeing Liu Xinwu having an enthusiastic discussion with Li Changhe, he hurried over.

Although Liu Xinwu published "Class Teacher" in People's Literature, don't forget that his main job is a literary editor at Beijing Publishing House.

This guy is still the editor of October.

We can't let him poach our talents.

"Editor-in-Chief Liu, you're here too!"

"Old Zou, let me introduce you. This is Liu Jianqing, the deputy editor-in-chief of People's Literature Magazine."

"Hello, Editor-in-Chief Liu!"

Zou Shifang hurried over and greeted Liu Jianqing enthusiastically.

People’s Literature is a holy temple in the hearts of literature and art lovers.

"Well, Old Zou, you take Editor-in-Chief Liu and the others to the venue first. I'll continue to wait for the guests here. We'll talk in detail after the meeting."

Li Changhe knew that they couldn't continue the conversation here, as it would be pointless, so he decisively arranged for Zou Shifang to take everyone away.

"Yes, let's talk after the meeting. Come on, Xinwu, let's go in first!"

Liu Jianqing decisively pulled Liu Xinwu into the venue.

Liu Xinwu was confused at this time. I haven’t even spoken to Li Changhe yet.

We plan to launch the magazine in October.

However, Liu Jianqing was a senior veteran of People's Literature, and Liu Xinwu had no choice but to follow him in obediently.

Li Changhe was at the door. Soon, the school's top leaders, Ma Shijiang and Ji Xianlin, came together.

Seeing Li Changhe at the door, several people nodded at him.

"Secretary Ma, Mr. Ji, Mr. Zhu"

When Li Changhe saw the big guys and first-level professors coming over, he immediately stepped forward and greeted them respectfully.

"This is Li Changhe"

At this time, Ma Shijiang greeted Li Changhe with a smile and said that as a newly reported student on the D list, he, as the deputy secretary of the school's D committee, of course knew about it and took the initiative to introduce Li Changhe.

"I have seen!"

Ji Xianlin nodded and spoke very frankly.

Next to Ji Xianlin, a short old man was looking at Li Changhe curiously.

"Are you Li Changhe? I heard you know Kung Fu, would we have a chance to spar with each other?"

　Thank you Princess Violet and Mr. Sui Gefeng for the reward. I bow my head in gratitude!
