Chapter 7 Li Changhe’s sweet dream!

Liu Jianqing took the manuscript, glanced at it, and his eyes lit up slightly.

Apart from anything else, the handwriting is quite neat.

This is also the result of Li Changhe's work in this month. It can't be said to be very beautiful, but at least it is much straighter and more upright.

Being able to achieve this is already very good. After all, in this day and age, most people don't have the time and energy to practice calligraphy, and many people's handwriting is crooked.

"Come, let's sit in the office and let me take a look!"

Liu Jianqing led Li Changhe into the office.

There are several desks facing each other in the office, with several people sitting at each desk. They should be other editors in the editing room.

There is a shabby sofa against the wall next to it, and a black wooden coffee table in front of it.

"Sit first!"

"Xiao Cui, go get this comrade a glass of water!"

Liu Jianqing gave an order and then sat down at his desk.

He actually doesn't need to read it very carefully. With his years of editing experience, he can tell the level of the author with just a quick glance.

However, when Liu Jianqing took his first look from the beginning, his expression became serious.

From the writing style to the choice of words and sentences, it can be seen that this young man has something. His writing is on point, his word choice is precise, and the story he writes is also very organized.

He's a veteran!

Liu Jianqing judged in his heart.

Nowadays, the display of vocabulary is often a display of an author's level, because in this era, it is difficult for many authors to expand their vocabulary.

Many idioms, short sentences, adjectives, etc. that are common in later generations are still rare in this era and can only be obtained through some niche channels.

This is also the reason why Li Changhe felt that some literary works were mediocre in his previous life. Some of the vocabulary descriptions were indeed very monotonous.

Death of an Educated Youth

This title reminded Liu Jianqing of the Soviet writer Chekhov's "The Death of a Little GWY".

Liu Jianqing thought that the content might be somewhat imitated, but he soon found out that he was wrong.

This article describes an educated youth who went to the countryside full of enthusiasm from the beginning, was not afraid of hard work, and became an outstanding member of the countryside.

Later, for some reason, he fell from heaven to hell and reached the bottom of the world.

All the passionate ambitions and even beliefs collapsed, until finally, when the spirit was completely dead, he wanted to commit suicide on the mountain.

These plots comprehensively demonstrate the changes in mentality of many people over the past few years.

"I guess this protagonist is going to die tragically!"

Liu Jianqing subconsciously thought that he had guessed the final ending, which should be a very heroic and cruel writing.

But what he didn't expect was that when he saw the later part, he found that the plot had taken a turn.

The old man who lives with the protagonist said something meaningful to him.

“The darkness before dawn is the darkest, but the light at the break of dawn will make all those who wait until dawn feel it is worth it, because the morning sun is always rising!”

Finally, the protagonist's relatives returned from abroad and wanted to take him away, but the protagonist refused.

“If you think our XX is not good, then go and build it. If you think your compatriots are ignorant, start by learning from yourself and change the people around you, instead of just scolding, complaining, and running away.”

At the end of the article, the educated youth did not die. They entered a new era and worked in a new environment more enthusiastically than before.

"You ask me why? It's probably because I love this land so deeply!"

Li Changhe concluded with a line from Ai Qing's poem.

Seeing this, Liu Jianqing was shocked. Of course, he had read Ai Qing's poems and even knew the sentence before the last one.

Why are my eyes filled with tears? Because I love this land deeply!

Li Changhe only used the second half of the sentence and not the first half!

But Liu Jianqing felt the first half of the sentence at this moment, his heart was surging and filled with tears!
He originally thought that this was a painful novel full of accusations, but he did not expect that in the finale, the thoughts were sublimated and sublimated to the feelings of their older generation. Isn't this the mentality of their generation? Even if they are carrying heavy burdens in the darkness, they are still building silently!

He immediately thought of the title of the article, "The Death of an Educated Youth." Yes, this educated youth did die, and not just once, but he was reborn in his final death.

Li Changhe sat there, staring at Liu Jianqing calmly. He wanted to see if his way of giving inspirational speeches was correct.

When Li Changhe saw Liu Jianqing's excited expression, he knew he had made the right bet.

People of this generation are still too innocent. Even after years of changes, they are still full of love and passion.

The depressing plot coupled with a twist of inspirational stories is most likely to inspire the light in their hearts.

Just like in the past, some passionate little sentences on the Internet could easily make middle school students excited.

After reading it, Liu Jianqing just closed his eyes and said nothing.

Li Changhe was a little nervous.

The editor on the other side was a little surprised. It was rare to see the deputy editor-in-chief behave like this.

"Editor-in-chief, how's the manuscript?"

An editor on the opposite side couldn't help but ask curiously.

They haven't seen any interesting new manuscripts for a long time.

Liu Jianqing opened his eyes at this moment and said in a loud voice!
"good very good!"

“It’s so well written!”

"Let me see, let me see!"

"Let me see first!"

"I'll come, give it to me!"

Hearing Liu Jianqing's words, several editors who were ready to go immediately rushed to Liu Jianqing's desk, vying to see it first.

"Don't even move!"

Liu Jianqing reacted at this time and scolded.

Then he stood up with the manuscript and came to Li Changhe.

"Little comrade, please wait here for a moment. I'll be out for a while!"

After saying that, he took the manuscript and walked out.

Li Changhe was a little surprised: "Editor Liu, what's this?"

"I guess he went to see Editor-in-Chief Zhang, the editor-in-chief of our People's Literature Magazine, Zhang Guangnian!"

Several young editors in the office explained to Li Changhe.

Li Changhe's heart moved when he heard this.

Does finding the editor-in-chief mean that the manuscript can be published?

Judging from Liu Jianqing’s mentality, I wonder if he will give him a high price?

If calculated based on the highest rate of 7 yuan per thousand words, his royalties for this 140-word novel would be yuan!

No, even if you don’t use the highest standard, if you give 5 yuan per thousand words, that is 100 yuan, and 6 yuan per thousand words, that is 120 yuan, anyway, it’s over yuan!
Thinking of this, Li Changhe's mentality also became excited.

More than a hundred yuan, this is probably the first income he earned in this era!
With this money, you have to go out and have a good meal. Lao Mo, Quanjude, Donglaishun, you have to experience the most authentic ones in this era!

He has been living off his parents for free food and drinks at home during this period, and he is too embarrassed to go out and have fun.

But if you can really make money, it will be different.

Li Changhe, who was sitting on the sofa, curled up the corners of his mouth unconsciously.

On the other side, Liu Jianqing took the manuscript and did come to the office of Zhang Guangnian, editor-in-chief of People's Literature.
