Chapter 24 Articles

"Okay, editor-in-chief. But before confirming, I would like to ask the editor-in-chief to read another article. I think there are still a lot of things to be confirmed."

"Huh?" Wei Sheng picked up another article and found that the handwriting was the same as the previous one: "Same author?"

"And it's written by the same person." Xiao Xiao couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the content inside: "That's the one I'd rather recommend to the editor-in-chief. The angle of the material is absolutely amazing!"

Wei Sheng put on his glasses: "A... special party member?"

This article is in the style of a short story. The protagonist is still the old man just now, but the time background is the turbulent struggle era from 2009 to 2035.

The background of the incident is two major events in the history of the Jiachuan Party - the establishment of the Jiachuan Hongshui Red United Special Branch and the struggle against the Shidingshan Peasant Uprising.

At that time, there was a big shot in the Gujing Su family, Brother Qingshui Pao from Ge Laohui, a big businessman from Kaiwu Feng Yinlou in Manzhou, and a review committee member of the Manzhou Party Department of the national government - Su Huaxuan.

Jiachuan is located at the junction of the three provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou. In 2029, under the cover of the Qingshuipao brother, the Jiachuan Hongshui Red Joint Special Detachment led from Gujing Township to the important town of Guizhou - Wutongchang

Establish.

The Shidingshan Uprising was an armed uprising launched by the Joint Special Branch in the name of the "Sichuan-Yunnan-Guizhou Border Region Guerrilla Column" in the area under Kuomintang control for 35 years.

The uprising lasted for more than a month and dealt a heavy blow to the national army and local warlords in the Sichuan-Guizhou border area, suppressing the strength of one regiment, four battalions, one Qingxiang brigade, and thirty regiment training squadrons.

The uprising failed in the end, but from another perspective, it also succeeded.

Because it effectively coordinated and supported the third crossing of the Red River that was underway at that time, it also sowed fire in the Sichuan-Guizhou border area.

From the establishment of the special branch to the failure of the uprising, the area from Wutongchang to Gujing Township has always been an area with active movements.

At that time, the person in charge of the Wutong Field was also a member of the Su family, named Su Tianjun.

Su Tianjun developed many comrades in the local area, and built a tall earth building on the main road from Gujing Township to Wutongchang, where he worked and monitored the front and rear.

At the place that the locals call the "Green Wa Tower", looking towards Jiachuan, at the end of the line of sight, there is a chicken feather shop selling bean curd rice.

It was driven by a cousin and cousin-in-law of Su Tianjun. From there, one could see the movement further ahead on the road coming from the direction of Jiachuan.

Later, the small shop became a contact point and observation post, and the hostess of the chicken feather shop secretly swore to join the organization and became a comrade.

Because they were all one-way connections, after the uprising failed, the hostess of the chicken feather shop lost contact with the organization. From then on, she hid her identity. It was not until she was very old that she would occasionally talk about those passionate days with her grandson.

This is the background of the story. In this novel called "A Special Party Member", the heroine does not have any great consciousness or ideals.

The things she did were just out of love for her husband's brother-in-law.

Joining the organization is just to make the comrades who come and go trust her more, so as to provide them with a safe place where they can communicate with confidence.

The purpose is not lofty, it is simply because they are afraid that they will easily be reported if they go to other places for gatherings, which is not the case here.

Putting aside that special identity, she is actually an ordinary woman who treats people warmly, loves her relatives, is kind and considerate, is somewhat smart, and even has some sense of humor and cunning.

In the grandson's writing, the story of the mistress of the Douhua Restaurant is not as passionate and impassioned as the traditional struggle story. There should be positive characters in the story, and not all of them are bright and upright.

For example, in the eyes of his cousin-in-law, Su Tianjun was a naughty and daring uncle who caused headaches for the family since childhood.

But the more this happens, the more she favors him, but she never gives him a good look. When greeting him, she likes to say "cut off the head".

For example, those comrades are all hungry ghosts in her eyes. When eating, she will deliberately add an extra spoonful.

Everyone liked it very much and named the rising ball of rice "Chuanerjian".

She would watch them wolfing down nervously. If anyone inserted their chopsticks directly into the middle of the bowl to scoop out the rice soup, she would quietly go up and pull out that person's chopsticks.

Because Lao Li'er couldn't do that, it would be like visiting a grave, and she was worried that it would be unlucky.

When there are meetings in the house at night, they are not always united and high-spirited like in the old movies. They will also quarrel, and even get violent when the quarrel becomes fierce.

When that happened, she would knock the rolling pin against the wall and shout, "No barking, no biting," causing the room to suddenly become silent and then burst into laughter.

It can be seen from my grandson's article that this special party member has not received the ideological education that a party member should have. Her thoughts and behaviors are still what a standard old-style rural woman should be, and she cannot be called "enlightenment"

”.

Her "revolution" was just out of a kind of care, even a kind of sympathy. She just felt that these "hungry people" should not be hungry, but she just felt that they and she were all "the same kind".

That's all.

This story is different from all the red stories that could be seen at that time. It has the style of Sima Qian's "Historical Records".

The characters in the story who are supposed to be heroes are all full of shortcomings.

Some are sloppy, some are vulgar, some are irritable...

But because of this, it seems so real, so flesh and blood.

Underneath the heroine's jokes and taunts about gays, there is a real feeling of blood and blood.

After reading such a unique article, Wei Sheng was speechless for a long time.

How long has it been since you've seen something like this?

How long has it been since I’ve seen something so authentic and without any pretense?!

How long has it been since I’ve seen something like this that praises people instead of God?!!

"Chief editor? How is it?"

"Xiao Xiao, what do you think is good about it?"

"I...can't really put my finger on it. I just think that this Sister-in-law Aqing is different from the one in the model drama."

"Then which one do you think is true?"

Xiao Xingjuan stretched out her finger without hesitation: "She!"

But then he hesitated: "But if the martyrs appear in the work in such an image, isn't it too... I even think... some of Xianglin's wisecracks are really funny..."

"No, that's because you haven't seen the author's true intention." Wei Sheng stood up and walked around the editor's office twice excitedly: "That's not funny, it's just superficial! What's underneath is the truth.

Preach the truth!”

"The author is telling us why a group has such great centripetal force and cohesion in that magnificent and earth-changing feat!"

"Why do you get the firm support and support of thousands of ordinary people like this old man!"

"Not everyone has beliefs, doctrines, spirit, and consciousness in their hearts!"

"But they all have an instinct in their hearts! Instinct!"

"The instinct that even though you are in the fog of darkness and terror, and you can't even see the direction and the way out, you still yearn for equality and light!"

"This is the fundamental reason why we received firm support and won the final victory!"

Xiao Xingjuan suddenly felt an electric current running through her body from top to bottom!

That’s right! This is why this very special party member, who had not received any party education, firmly and bravely chose to stand with the party at that time!

Because sounds and types seek each other, breaths and blood are connected!

A group that chooses light will naturally attract such people to join!

On the other hand, such a group that chooses the light must only be composed of such people!

This is the author’s original intention!

Wei Sheng had already sat down: "Xiao Xiao, you are very good. You can realize that this article is even more exciting than the last one."

After saying that, he frowned again: "But it's a useless name. How about... think of a new name for it? It should be subtle and guide readers?"

Xiao Xingjuan pondered for a moment: "The original title is indeed a bit straightforward and has lost its aftertaste."

Wei Sheng directly crossed out "A Special Party Member" with a pen and changed it to "Her Faith". After writing it, he shook his head: "Actually, it is not appropriate to say faith. It should be the most simple and true thing about the protagonist."

Emotions resonate harmoniously with the highest and brightest faith of that era, but... let’s leave it at that for now.”

"The second daughter was mentioned in the following article. Later, inspired by her mother, she also embarked on the road of revolution, joined the Southwest Student Work Team, and once ventured into the Datong bandit den to collect intelligence..."

"Yes." Xiao Xingjuan nodded: "Datong is in Hongshui County, which belongs to Guizhou Province. This second daughter should work in Qian Province later."

"As mentioned in the first article, this second daughter later became the director of the regional Women's Federation, so she is probably the director of the Zunzhou District Women's Federation!"

"Chief Editor, I'm going to call the Qian Federation of Literary and Art Circles and ask the comrades there to help check it out!"

"If the director of the Women's Federation is really the second daughter in the article, she should know more. At least the authenticity of this first article can be easily confirmed." Wei Sheng nodded: "If there is enough time, we will do this in this issue

Just publish the first article!”

Then he continued: "The following novel is just an interpretation of the uprising event from the perspective of a heroine who is not deeply aware of it. There are many characters and details in it. Looking at them briefly, there is actually a lot of information hidden."

"Xiao Xiao, you may have to work harder. Please spend more time and learn about the author's situation. We will try our best to publish it in the next issue."

"As the editor-in-chief, I will do my best!" Xiao Xingjuan said with a smile: "To be able to publish in two consecutive issues, you must at least be a member of the Provincial Writers Association, right? He should be an old writer."

"I'm going to look through the archives of the Writers' Association first and check for comrades with Sichuan origin. It should be easy to find out."

"I'm afraid it's not what you think." Wei Sheng said with a smile: "The older the author, the easier it is to fall into the rules."

"The two articles are different. Only new authors who don't have those rules in their minds can find such an angle of collecting materials, which is refreshing."

"So I am more inclined to..." Wei Sheng touched the manuscript on his chest with a pen: "Xiao Xiao, we may have found a good idea."

This time Xiao Xingjuan became even more excited: "I'm going to check now!"
Chapter completed!
