Song Xiaoci's literary elder brother

I'm Ying Song's hometown. I'm from Jianghan Plain, one county and one county. Customs and habits, dialect diet are the same. Although I know there is such an authentic fellow villager, I haven't contacted him since I came to Wuhan. Among friends in Hubei's literary and art circles, there are many comments on Mr. Ying Song in private. Most people say he has a bad temper, like a mine, and stepping on it is a safe haven. For such a risk-averse, of course, I am waiting for an unknown junior to make a detour. Who has the courage to step on "mines"? If it is blown up, it will not be destroyed.

A friend and I visited an editor in the Provincial Writers' Association, and happened to meet the legendary "mine"-Ying Song. He rode his bicycle into the writers' association compound, holding a faucet in his hand, holding his head high and looking ahead, with a serious face and a hard expression. In today's words, it is like a pair of "",as if it doesn't care about the whole world. I immediately felt that this person was too lofty to want. Party member cadres are by no means approachable. Therefore, I have a sense of distance from Mr. Song. But after visiting the editor, my friend took me to Mr. Ying Song's office. The friend said, hometown, come and have a look. Since signing up, Mr. Ying Song is still very enthusiastic, on the one hand, because of his hometown people, on the other hand, for the younger generation of literature. After exchanging some writing experience with us, Mr. Ying Song led us to meet several editors and told us that we could contact the editing teacher directly if there were any works. In this way, I feel that this person is not as inhuman as the legend on the rivers and lakes. He still feels warm, kind and friendly, not hard to touch, not cold.

But we haven't contacted each other since that meeting. It was not until 19 13 that I had the novel "Blood Basin Classic" selected from Selected Novels, and Mr. Ying Song mentioned this novel in a lecture and expressed his appreciation. Later, some students passed this on to me, and his works were valued by such a big coffee teacher. This is a great encouragement and an affirmation. With this foundation, I bravely sprouted the courage to step on "mines". In the long run, I became familiar with Teacher Ying Song. You don't really know a person until you know him well. Mr. Ying Song is not the legendary "mine". He doesn't have that strong smell of gunpowder At best, he is just a firecracker. You'll hear it when it's blown up, but it won't hurt anyone. You blow it and it will pass. There is also a bad temper. When you meet people with different ideas or sweet words, Mr. Ying Song will respond rudely. He will not give in against his will because you are a leader, nor will he forgive your ignorance because you are a chess piece. Different ideas are different. I offended many people for this.

Although Mr. Ying Song is sometimes ruthless, he is also an easy-going and humorous person with many organic interests.

On one occasion, Mr. Yingsong was poured on the wine table. At first he thought it was fake, but the people in the seat took turns to persuade him to drink, but he still didn't drink. Finally, he sincerely explained that I am a boring person, and I don't drink, smoke, play cards, gamble or drink tea. Someone asked, is it lascivious? Teacher Yingsong held back and said that the lakes and mountains were good or not, and other leaders had the final say. Everyone at the table laughed. It seems that they still have ideas about the opposite sex, but they have a wicked heart and no thief courage. Amitabha, poor thing.

Although Mr. Ying Song claims to be a boring person, once such a person is interesting, he is too interesting. During his tenure as Dean of the College of Literature of Hubei Writers Association, Mr. Ying Song held an advanced research class for young writers every year from 20 1 1. From planning to implementation, he has to worry a lot, asking teachers, choosing hotels, budgeting, reviewing student lists and asking everything. Tian He, vice president of each summary, said that Dean Ying Song really broke his heart about this matter, and did a lot of work for the successors of Hubei literature, as well as for your students. Tian teacher decided that he was just like your father. Every time I talk about this, Dean Yingsong always smiles and sighs, God, I am too old. I'm not their father, I'm their big brother. So the students called Mr. Yingsong privately. The way to call him, the way promised to slide. The Evening News in my hometown once did a full-page interview with Mr. Song, titled "Chen Yingsong, a literary master from the grassroots". After the interview was promoted through WeChat platform, I told the editor in the circle of friends that the title was wrong. Make the editor nervous and say, what's the matter? Teacher Ying Song said that there was a brother missing behind the master. The editor replied several times in a row with a big grin. Since then, Tao has won the reputation of "literary elder brother" in the literary world.

The fourth advanced research class was held in a big farm in Huanggang. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, cinnamon was fragrant in the manor, and maple leaves turned red. I don't know who found several persimmon trees in the back hill of the manor, all of which are sweet and crisp persimmon varieties. The results are not so much, but they are all mature, hanging on the branches one by one, with yellow in the green and waves in the red, like big girls. Students send pictures in the circle of friends, which makes people itch. The next day, at first light, I got up and found the way to the back hill. Those persimmon trees were obviously swept away, and several were looted, leaving only two or three tall ones. I am already the earliest person to get up. Did anyone work late to steal persimmons? Suddenly, I heard a thorn. I looked at it and said, Alas, the literary master is tiptoeing around a persimmon tree. After being discovered, Big Brother smiled and shook hands, knowing that he had a purpose and was very understanding. When you start, the master elder brother will tell you the difference between crispy persimmon and soft persimmon with rich experience, and will guide you to distinguish which persimmon looks delicious, starting this or that. That kind of feeling is not like a "literary master" at all, but like a lively, frank and lovely rural peasant baby. Their pockets were bulging. When they went down the mountain, the eldest brother told them to be quiet and go quickly, so as not to be found. At noon, some students posted pictures in the circle of friends and cried loudly at the bare persimmon trees all over the mountain. The elder brother commented in the back, but I didn't expect all the students in this advanced research class to be bandits. At the graduation ceremony, the master elder brother said, I sincerely hope that your skill of burning, killing and looting will be used not only against persimmon trees in the back mountain, but also in writing, and you will be tough in your works. In this advanced research class, you learned to steal persimmons, but you should also learn to steal readers' hearts. What a "bandit" leader and a literary master elder brother.

But many of us call him master. He is glad that others call him that. He hopes that we will not call him the headmaster, dean or teacher. Indeed, in writing, he is devoted, careful and sincere in teaching and leading us. I said in my speech at the 11th signing writers' conference that "Teacher Chen Yingsong taught me to write". After the meeting, he said don't say that, it is the result of your own enlightenment and efforts. But I'm telling the truth, really. In the process of my writing, I got careful guidance from Mr. Chen, which made me understand many writing principles and learned some "killer" and unique skills he taught me. Some contract writers have also received his care and guidance. He likes many students, which is the result of his selfless dedication and helping others. A good teacher makes a good apprentice. Disciples are lucky to have such a master. Thank you, master.
