As the name suggests, "Fiction Monthly" is only published once a month. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the current rate, if you want to complete the serialization of "The Goddess", it will take at least more than a year.

As the plot develops, the scene becomes more and more grandiose, and a bizarre and deformed society is displayed naked in front of the reader's eyes. When the serialization reached the third issue, the Literary Research Society even held a symposium dedicated to it, and at the same time, according to Zhou Hexuan's explanation, this form of novel was named magical realism.

At this time, there are still about 40 years before the masterpiece of magical realism "One Hundred Years of Solitude" comes out.

Later, the world literary community discussed the origin of magical realism, which has been a very troubled topic. Many European and American scholars believe that magical realism was born in China, starting with The Goddess, and many similar works appeared in the next 20 years.

The advent of "The Divine Woman" comes at a time when the new literature has begun to turn from prosperity to decline, and the creation of new Chinese writers has just entered a bottleneck period. Magical realism is like a lightning bolt that pierces the dark night sky and brings new creative inspiration to many young writers.

Just like the publication of Lu Xun's "Hometown", it gave birth to the genre of "vernacular literature" and became the backbone of the Chinese literary scene in the 20s. Zhou Hexuan's "The Goddess" also brought a wave of magical realism to the creative trend, which was active from the end of the 20s to the early 40s.

There are even writers of the same type who shouted: "I am Zhou Hexuan's lackey!" ”

Zhou Hexuan's supporters did not know his address, so they sent letters to the Ta Kung Pao newspaper one after another, receiving at least 100 letters a month. Most of them asked him for advice on literary creation, and Zhou Hexuan felt that it was too troublesome after replying a few letters, and he had to hire a full-time secretary.

……

When Zhou Hexuan became famous in the literary world, the war in the south continued.

Sun Chuanfang had been sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight before, wanting to use the Northern Expeditionary Army to solve Wu Peifu, and then take the opportunity to swallow the central and southern regions in the name of "aiding Wu". If the war goes well, he also plans to solve the Northern Expeditionary Army.

At first, Sun Chuanfang's plan went very smoothly and he won a few battles, but the situation soon turned around.

In mid-October, the Northern Expeditionary Army, which had been frustrated in the offensive, adjusted its strategic objectives and moved to northern Jiangxi to attack Nanxun Road, where Sun Chuanfang's main force was located. At the beginning of November, the Northern Expeditionary Army cut off the supply line of Sun's army in only two days, and Sun Chuanfang's main force collapsed instantly, some of them surrendered, and some of them sat in the city of sorrow.

The Northern Expeditionary Army spent another four days completely destroying the remnants of Sun's army in Jiangxi and occupying Nanchang without firing a single shot.

And Sun Chuanfang, who was invincible before the war, because he saw the danger of being dumpling, ran away on a warship at the beginning of the decisive battle. So much so that his army was leaderless and had no fighting spirit, and it lasted less than a week before it was completely routed.

Sun Chuanfang lost his ambition to fight for the world, and went north to take refuge with his sworn enemy Zhang Zuolin, apologized in person, and bowed his head to court.

Seeing that the situation in the country had changed greatly, Zhang Zuolin could not sit still in Beiping, so he moved his official residence to Tianjin and personally sat in the rear headquarters. He ordered the Zhilu coalition army to immediately move south to Xuzhou in order to counter Sun Chuanfang's troops in Nanjing and work together to deal with the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Zhang Zongchang and Chu Yupu, who occupied territory in Henan, did not even return home, so they were sent to Xuzhou by Zhang Zuolin, and the war between the north and the south was about to break out.

At the same time, Zhou Hexuan's "Volkswagen" supplement has also been prepared. Just as he was about to publish the publication, news came from Peking University, saying that it was preparing to resume the school in the near future, and invited Zhou Hexuan, the nominal president, to speak.

Zhou Hexuan immediately took a train to Peking and met with many professors and lecturers at Peking University.

Well, "many" is just an empty word, but in fact, there are not many of them, and there are less than 30 people in total.

There is no way, in the current situation in Beiping, scholars in the south are reluctant to be invited to teach. And there are many Peking University teachers who are related to the Communist Party, who either go south to take refuge or hide in Dongjiaomin Lane, and will be arrested by the police as soon as they show up.

Peking University, which is famous all over the country, now has only more than 20 faculty members left. Fortunately, teachers from Tsinghua, Sino-French, Yenching and other universities accepted the invitation of part-time lecturers from Peking University and could barely undertake teaching tasks.

At the gate of Peking University, before Zhou Hexuan got off the rickshaw, he saw a banner hanging there welcoming him, and the teachers of Peking University stood in a row to greet the president.

This battle is not too big, if it is replaced by Cai Yunpei, the meeting place will definitely be set at the station, not at the gate of his own school.

When Cai Yuanpei returned to China at the beginning of the year, the teachers and students of Peking thought that he was going back to school, but he took a day off to celebrate, which was called prestige.

However, at this time and at that time, many teachers and students of Peking University are now full of resentment towards Cai Yuanpei. thinks that he abandoned Peking University at the most difficult time, the so-called deep love and responsibility, this is the case.

"Principal Zhou, you can make us wait!" Zhong Guanguan greeted him with a smile and shook hands with Zhou Hexuan warmly.

Zhou Hexuan said: "Mr. Zhong, you are only a shallow learner, but you can't afford to be welcomed like this. ”

"Afford it, afford it, haha, everyone's salary will depend on you in the future," Zhong Guanguan took Zhou Hexuan's hand and introduced, "This is Ma Yuzao, the director of the Department of Chinese Literature, this is Li Shuhua, the acting director of the Department of Physics, and this is ......."

"Hello Mr. Ma!"

"Hello Mr. Li!"

"Hello Principal Zhou!"

“……”

Zhou Hexuan shook hands with the teachers of Peking University one by one, and a young man caught his attention. This gentleman's name is Ye Gongchao, he is too young, only 22 years old, and he can be a teacher at Peking University at this age.

Zhou Hexuan inquired a few words, only to learn that Ye Gongchao is still a faculty member of Beijing Normal University, and he is also the editor of "English Daily" and "Far East English Times".

The era of the Republic of China was turbulent, and countless young talents became famous. I think that when Liang Yiming gave a lecture at Peking University, he was only 25 years old, and it is impossible to put it in the future generations.

After knowing everyone, Zhou Hexuan suddenly stepped back and bowed and saluted: "In the future, Peking University will entrust you, I am afraid that I will not be able to perform the duties of the president, so I can only be responsible for running errands and asking the Ministry of Education for money." ”

"Where, Principal Zhou's words are serious, I should thank Principal Zhou." Everyone hurriedly said.

Zhou Hexuan's purpose is threefold: first, to show humility and leave a good impression on the teachers of Peking University; the second is to show their attitude and promise not to interfere in daily school affairs; The third is to show his wrist, implying that he is the God of Wealth of Peking University, and he needs to run for education funds.

Only one bow, courtesy, courtesy, promise and favor, immediately let the teachers of Peking University accept him.

Even if someone looks down on Zhou Hexuan, the principal, they can only slander him in their stomachs, and it is absolutely impossible to refute him in person.

That night, Zhou Hexuan lived in the faculty dormitory of Peking University, just waiting for the opening speech tomorrow.
