Chapter 1661 I am not fictitious

The press conference has officially begun.

This press conference was nominally Kong Zhiyong's new book press conference, so Jin Jingcheng sat aside first and asked the protagonist Kong Zhiyong to speak.

Kong Zhiyong calmed down for a while, and then faced more than 100 crowded media reporters at the scene, saying: "Thank you very much for all media reporters to come to my new book launch today. Yes, I have released a new book. This is a novel, and its name is "The Furnace".

"Readers who are familiar with me know that my literary works mainly revolve around women, workers, poor people and people who are discriminated against. I have always felt that as a female writer, I have the social responsibility to pay attention to such a group of disadvantaged groups and use the power of literature to speak for them. Although in today's era of material supremacy, the power of literature is becoming more and more limited, I still uphold such a sense of social responsibility. This sense of social responsibility is also the original intention of me to enter the literary circle and become a female writer. I have always kept this original intention in my heart, and it has never changed, and will not change in the future."

"In 2005, I wrote a novel "Our Happy Times". This novel has achieved great sales and became my representative work. Last year, it was adapted into a movie by director Song Hae-sung, starring Lee Nai-young, Kang Dong-won and Yoon Yoo-jung, and also achieved a good box office. I am very grateful for this."

"Whether anyone has read the novel "Our Happy Time" or the movie "Our Happy Time", I know that the love story told in my novel is a bit different. It tells everyone how powerful the precious love in the world is by telling the story of a man and a woman meeting at the intersection towards death."

"In fact, the focus of my writing "Our Happy Times" was not on the love between the male and female protagonists, but on the fact that the heroine's tragic life experience was to inspire everyone, telling everyone that there were such miserable women in the glorious society we are proud of. I exposed this dark side to everyone in the hope of attracting everyone's attention to this dark side and thus improve it."

"The heroine Youzhen in "Our Happy Times" was because she was forcibly attacked by her cousin when she was a child. Since then, she has been living in heavy shadows. She is extremely self-enclosed in terms of feelings, does not believe in love or fate, and has attempted suicide three times."

"Yes, women being attacked by x, this is a problem that I pay great attention to, and it is also a crime that our society should pay great attention to. This time, my novel "The Furnace" also talks about the problem of women being attacked by x, and this time the person who was attacked by x was not a woman, but a group of women. What's more serious is that these women are all disabled girls."

When Kong Zhiyong said this, many media reporters below were in agitation, especially Korean media reporters.

"I heard it right? This time, the new book by writer Kong Zhiyong is about a group of disabled girls being attacked?" The reporter from mbc TV showed shock and asked the reporter from KBS TV next to him.

KBS TV reporter was also surprised: "Which writer Kong Zhiyong said, she is so brave."

A reporter from the Chosun Ilbo told the reporter of the Chong Ilbo: "I knew this writer Kong Zhiyong was very brave, and it seems that it was true."

"The Central Daily News" reporter responded: "Isn't she afraid of causing public criticism when she actually writes a story about a group of disabled girls being attacked?"

The editor of the naver website was confused: "Does the writer Kong Zhiyong want to attract attention when writing such a story?"

"Creation and Criticism" is an important pure literary journal in Korea. As early as 1988, Kong Zhiyong's short story "Dawn" was published in the autumn issue of this publication. It has only since then that literary creation has begun. The literary journal "Creation and Criticism" has always been very concerned about Kong Zhiyong, and Kong Zhiyong has published many literary works in this literary journal.

At present, an editor of "Creation and Criticism" sighed after listening to Kong Zhiyong's words: "I am worthy of being a writer of Kong Zhiyong. I am becoming more and more bold. Before, she wrote "Our Happy Times" because she was criticized because she was involved in a woman who was forcibly attacked by her cousin when she was a child. This time she was so angry that she actually became more and more serious. She wrote about a group of disabled girls being attacked by x. I really worry about her."

The editor of another important Korean pure literary journal was also sighing: "The current status of writer Kong Zhiyong in our Korean literary world is not easy. It was achieved by her hard work. I hope she will not be confused. A group of disabled girls were attacked. Can such a story be written casually? Not to mention the vast majority of the people, even some writers and critics in our literary world cannot accept such a heavy story, right?"

The reason why these Korean media reporters have such comments and concerns is that even though South Korea has always claimed to be a democratic country, in fact, South Korea is a very sensitive and even inferior country. Many citizens of this country are disgusted with revealing the dark side of their country. On the contrary, they like to compete for something that seems bright and beautiful, but actually flashy and false. The invasion of women is the dark side that many Koreans think is sensitive.

Before Kong Zhiyong wrote "Our Happy Times", because this novel involves a woman being attacked by her cousin when she was a child, it aroused the disgust of many readers and even criticized by some literary writers and critics. Kong Zhiyong was very uncomfortable during that period. It was not until later that the movie "Our Happy Times" was released to great success, which improved this phenomenon and made Kong Zhiyong's behavior become just.

In comparison, a group of disabled girls were attacked, which is really a very sensitive dark side of Korea. It is like a landmine that ordinary people usually dare not touch, whether it is a writer or a director. Now, Kong Zhiyong actually touches it, which is a taboo.

At this time, a reporter from South Korea's SBS TV stood up and said to Kong Zhiyong: "Writer Kong Zhiyong, is your story in "The Furnace" completely fictional? Don't you think that fiction such a story will cause psychological shadows on many citizens of our country?"

Kong Zhiyong's face turned solemn: "No, my story is not completely fictional. I also know that as a writer, it is an irresponsible act to make such a story without authorization, and I would not do it."

Even the reporter of "Daily Economics" couldn't help asking: "What do you mean is your novel adapted from real events?"

Kong Zhiyong nodded: "Yes, it is adapted from real events."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was sensational.
