Since the publication of "Youth", the Xia Hongjun has paid great attention to current affairs news about the war on the front line in southern Xinjiang.

Sure enough, in mid-May, Xinhua News Agency released a message to the public, saying that Xu Liang, a college student, was bravely injured. This short news did not attract much attention, but then China Youth Daily reported on the front page that "Battlefield of Blew Blood Splashed Old Mountains".

It tells in detail the heroic deeds of Xu Liang, a fourth-grade student at Anxi Conservatory of Music, who joined the army and fought bravely on the front line to fight the enemy and was gloriously injured. After another, major domestic media began to report and reprint it, and Xia Hongjun knew that the book "Youth" would rise with the flow.

Of course, the climax of Xu Liang's promotion was in the 1987 Spring Festival Gala. He and another female singer sang the popular song "Bloody Style". He and his song instantly spread throughout the country, and a wave of learning heroes was set off across the country.

Reportage, filming TV series...

That was the time when the book "Youth" was selling well.

But what Xia Hongjun did not expect was that the hot sale of youth came earlier because of another thing.

Department of Literature and Art of Central People's Radio Station.

Ye Yongmei sat at the desk and frowned slightly, holding a document in her hand.

This is a red-headed document from the superior department transferred to her by the radio leader, requiring the Central People's Radio Station to cooperate with the current propaganda focus to broadcast a novel reflecting the heroic deeds of front-line soldiers. This glorious and arduous task naturally fell on the head of the editorial group of the "Long-Long Broadcast" program of the Ministry of Literature and Art.

Ye Yongmei certainly understood what her superior meant. During this period, major domestic media reported in turn that Xu Liang, the college student soldier who was injured in the battle on the front line, as the mouthpiece of the country, would naturally make his own voice.

But.

There are so few such novels on the market now, which makes her very troubled.

There are avant-garde literary works everywhere, with novel styles and weird content. Or it is the scar literature that was popular in the past two years, which tells the tragic experiences of various characters in that era that cannot be looked back on.

Excellent military novels such as "The Wreath Under the Mountain" and "Triumph at Midnight" that were popular in the past two years have been broadcast on China Radio and Television. Could it be that there is a hot leftover meal now?

It really doesn't work, just do it...

Ye Yongmei sighed softly.

It is really sad to think that various publishing houses have to publish thousands of literary works every year, but they can't find a military novel that is suitable for reading.

"Sister Mei, Sister Mei." A girl rushed in with a book in her hand.

"I went to Xinhua Bookstore yesterday and found a book. You absolutely like it after reading it!" The girl raised her hand and held the book in her hand.

Ye Yongmei saw the name of the novel on the cover: "Youth"

A very literary name, and the subtitle is full of literary atmosphere:

To us and their youth.

However, it turned out to be a military novel! It is about the story of the front-line art troupe!

On the title page, there is a lyrics written:

There is a beautiful flower in the world

That's youthful beauty

The hard bones bloom

Lili's blood stains it red

Ah~Ah~

......

......

Of course, Ye Yongmei knew that this was the theme song of the movie "Little Flower" screened a few years ago, but today, this book called "Youth" suddenly appeared, but suddenly had a different flavor.

She read slowly...

Before I knew it, the wall clock on the wall rang six times, and it was time to get off work.

Ye Yongmei slowly raised her head.

She only read a small part of the book, but she had decided that she would record it.

Xia Hongjun received a notice from counselor Jia Shu that it was one morning. He had just finished class and was about to rush to the ninth floor of the teaching to listen to the next class "Foreign Literature", but Jia Shu who rushed over hurriedly called him and said that it was Editor Wei of "Contemporary" magazine and a female editor from China Radio and Television to come to you.

China Central Radio?

Xia Hongjun was a little surprised, but suddenly thought of something and a smile appeared on his face.

Following Jia Shu hurried to the department office, Xia Hongjun saw Editor-in-Chief Wei and a middle-aged woman in her thirties chatting with the department head.

Seeing Xia Hongjun coming in, the department head introduced each other. Editor-in-chief Wei smiled and said to Ye Yongmei: "How is it? I said it was written by a college student. You don't believe it, do you believe it now?"

The middle-aged woman who came was Ye Yongmei. She first found the "Contemporary" magazine that published the book and stated that China Radio and Television was planning to broadcast the novel. Editor-in-chief Wei naturally had no objection.

Editor-in-chief Wei told her that it was written by a college student and she didn't believe it.

"Old Xia next door" turned out to be a college student?

Can college students write such works?

But after hearing that he also wrote a book called "Love of Hawthorn Tree", Ye Yongmei stopped talking.

It’s really not easy for college students today.

Of course, when it comes to copyright issues, we have to ask whether the author himself agrees, so this trip to Normal University was born.

Seeing the author himself, Ye Yongmei felt a little jealousy.

Young, energetic, talented, handsome...

How can these beautiful words be concentrated on a person, so how can they not arouse jealousy?

Of course, this kind of small thought only appeared for a moment. Ye Yongmei explained her purpose with a smile: the "Long-Long Broadcast" program of the Literature and Art Department of China National Radio and Television wants to broadcast this novel in yours, solicit your own opinions.

What's there to hesitate about?

Xia Hongjun agreed immediately.

In this era when there is no Internet and television is not popular yet, radio is the "king" of this era!

When there is no class, students hold a radio that they bought or assembled by themselves and listen to various programs, which is like the feeling of people in later generations holding a mobile phone.

Everything went smoothly. Ye Yongmei took out a broadcast agreement, and Xia Hongjun signed his name on it without hesitation.

After chatting for a few words, Editor-in-Chief Wei and Ye Yongmei were about to say goodbye and leave. At this time, two middle-aged men suddenly came outside the office door.

"I am Huang Shide, the editor of Chunlei Publishing House, and he is Liu Bin, the editor of Young Literature and Art. A man in his fifties first introduced himself.

Oops...

Editor again?

However, in this era, schools like to publish various literary works, and it is common for editors to come to visit. Didn’t you see two editors sitting in the office?

The department head naturally smiled and shook hands to welcome him.

But, this is the editor of children's publications.

The two also introduced that they were originally editors of the science fiction magazine "The Tree of Wisdom".

When Editor-in-Chief Wei and Ye Yongmei saw that there were guests coming, they immediately stood up and said goodbye. Xia Hongjun and others stood up to see him off.

As soon as the two of them walked to the door, they heard the older man who had just arrived asked: "Is there a college student named Xia Hongjun in the Chinese Department of your school?"

He actually looked for Xia Hongjun?

The two of them were a little surprised and stopped.
