(About the story of the writer Ma Guan during his interview at a labor camp in K Province, he stopped by to visit Pan Pengcheng, a former colleague, leader and later subordinate of Director Xiao Zixin who had worked with him in the past. I have already written down many of them, but I wrote
As he was writing, Dahua suddenly realized that he was now writing about the death of the elder Xiao Zixin’s mother. It was at the scene where many leaders, colleagues and subordinates came to attend the funeral in his hometown? At this time, he inserted the relevant information about Maguan’s visit to Pan Pengcheng.
The Secretary of the Working Committee encountered an unexpected sexual incident on the way. Is it inconsistent with the sad atmosphere of the whole background at this moment?
So, after thinking about it last night, I immediately deleted this paragraph and decided to write it out at a suitable time later. However, when I continued writing today, I felt that there was nothing too sudden about inserting this paragraph at this time. After all,
Now, Director Xiao Zixin has seen off Secretary Gao and returned to Niangniangzhai with other municipal party committee secretaries, county party committee secretaries and others on some memories and thoughts on the rural dirt road. It was not at the scene of the death of the old mother, and it has already been written above.
Ma Guan is a character, so there shouldn’t be anything wrong with continuing to write about his erotic affairs, right? The fastest update, all text typed by hand
Well, when I think about it this way, I can comfort myself with big words, so let’s continue, we should continue.
Not much to say.

Continue the story) It is said that the labor reform farm where the writer Ma Guan went to interview is the largest labor reform farm in the province founded in the 1950s. It is also seven or eight hundred miles away from the provincial capital, far away in a wasteland of the past, with "
It is known as "Eight Hundred Miles of Vast Sea". In the past, Shimonoseki only knew about such a place, but had never been there. That time I got off the train and saw that it was a fourth-class station. Behind it was just a small town, which was very backward.
That kind of town.
When he got here, it was actually a long way from the headquarters of the labor camp where he was going. He had to transfer to a local train and then rush to the hinterland of the wilderness for more than 200 miles, and then arrived at the headquarters of the labor camp. The place had already been abandoned.
Integrated into one, it has become a small modern city of special significance.
The main building with many high-rise buildings is divided into ten sub-areas, which spread out in a radial shape. Each sub-area seems to be one of its ten fingers. The main area does not hold a prisoner. If you want to visit them, come here
People have to take small donkey carts from different regions. It is one of the most important means of transportation in the area. It is also specially prepared by the folks to make money for the men and women who come from all over the world to visit relatives.
According to the different venues they want to go to, they take small donkey carts in different directions, and then they can finally reach their destination.
So, you don’t know until you go, but after you go, you realize that this horse’s dynasty is just as expected, it’s too big, too big!
It's just a labor camp in K Province. It has such a large area and radius. To go to any branch, you have to ride on a donkey cart for half a day to get there. Not to mention the trains and small trains you have to take before.
What about those journeys?
What's interesting is that after getting off the big train, you need to take a rare small train to go to the farm headquarters. It's a very small train. The track is only more than one meter wide. It whistles and makes a milky sound. A train called
There were four or five small carriages pulled behind the twenty-eight-ton small locomotive. On the small train, Shi Guan met a beautiful foreign woman, about twenty-one or twelve years old.
At that time, she brought a little girl, who seemed to be six or seven years old. They were chatting after a long journey, and the two of them started talking to each other unknowingly. At first, Ma Guan thought she was from the local area, but through the conversation, she found out that she was also here to visit.
of the prisoner.
"Ah, so you're here to see someone too?" Ma Guan smiled widely.
"Yes." The woman is beautiful, really beautiful, but her expression is reserved and a little embarrassed. The little girl is eating an apple next to her and looking around.
"Who are you going to see?" Ma Guan asked.
"..." The woman didn't respond. After a while, she whispered: "I...husband."
"Where are you from?"
"Siping."
"What about you? You are also going to see the prisoner, right? Who are you looking at?" the woman asked back, her eyes were very bright and flickering, giving writer Ma Guan a strong feeling that they were a pair of "talking eyes".
"Well," Ma Guan hesitated and said, "I'm here for an interview, and by the way, I'm also visiting someone. He used to be a city leader in our hometown."
"Oh..." The woman said, very surprised. She also came to visit the prisoner, but the level seemed different. From then on, she stopped talking and only looked out of the car. Maguan also followed her gaze and looked away.
Looking around. This is indeed a wasteland. Even after decades of construction, you can still see large areas of uncultivated saline-alkali land and large areas of reeds everywhere you pass...
Originally, the matter basically ended here. We met occasionally in a certain place or under special circumstances when we were out. It was a chance meeting that we encountered almost every day when we were out. It was very common, so we just wanted to say hello and say a few words.
, and then they separate, and most people will never have the chance to see each other again in their lives. But for some people, other unexpected stories will happen due to various reasons.
Shimonoseki belongs to this kind of person.[
Don't forget, although Ma Guan is now a person who often interviews the public security bureaus of K Province and the subordinate prefecture and county public security bureaus, he is a "freelance writer" without any "valid documents"
"Why is this? No one can explain it clearly, only Ma Guan himself knows best.
In fact, as mentioned in a previous chapter, Ma Guan is not a jobless gangster, but someone who once worked as a secretary and section chief in a county government. His literary creation has already achieved some success, and he is widely recognized throughout the country.
He is also well-known in the province and even the country. Not to mention anything else, he only published many literary works every year when he was the section chief, and his income from manuscript fees has already exceeded 30,000 yuan. At that time, his salary was only 230 yuan per month.
It’s just diversification. The annual royalties income far exceeds the annual income of the county party committee secretary and county magistrate at that time. (Of course, this is only the leader’s salary, other personal income does not count...) Being able to sneak into government agencies,
Being able to get a section chief position is already quite difficult in itself, and it is also a position that many people dream of their whole lives or that is simply impossible to achieve. But for Ma Guan, who can write a few things and earn a good income, it is completely
Don't look at it that way. He originally wanted to have a good time in the government agencies. At least, if the country is not corrupt and the political power is there, he will continue to do this job, and he will be completely guaranteed to eat and support his family in this life.
His wife also worked in a government agency and was the treasurer of the Industrial Bureau. Originally, the family of three had been living a good life because of their jobs and status.
However, suddenly one day, Ma Guan suddenly attacked his wife and discussed the matter of resigning. It was just after the couple had made out, and they were still breathing. Ma Guan smoked a cigarette and thought for a while, and then told his lover that he had actually
What he had been thinking about for a long time. His meaning was actually very simple and clear. His lover understood it as soon as he heard it. Ma Guan had mentioned this idea to her before, but it was just an idea at the time...
But this time, what Ma Guan said was basically his decision. He told his wife that it was just a formality. He would listen or not, agree or disagree. Ma Guan, who always had a good idea and kept his word at home, also decided to do this.
Did it.
"Do you really want to resign?"
Although her lover had known that he had this intention for a long time, once he really wanted to do it, she was still surprised. She let go of her arms around him and tried to sit up, but was pulled back by Shimonoseki and nodded.
From a practical point of view, it is surprising for anyone to make such a decision as Shimonoseki. How many people try every means to find connections and spend money to think about agencies, not to mention government agencies, even if it is an ordinary public institution.
Who can get in so smoothly and easily? Therefore, who has already entered, but suddenly wants to give up? Unless a lunatic, a fool, or someone with a brain full of water... That would be the case, right?
?
Moreover, why is it necessary to abandon a good and comfortable job and take the road of resigning to become a "freelance writer" by yourself?
However, Ma Guan doesn't think so.
He believed in his ability, and the salary at that time was indeed not high, and it was not like the current "government" where any position, including street offices, has marginal power and manages too many things and people. It was not the case at that time,
The general background of Shimonoseki's resignation at that time was that, in addition to relying on his word processing skills to make a living in the county government, he had reached the level of section chief. For him, he had reached the end. He was basically expected to rise further.
And the salary, damn, is pitiful. Not to mention other things, except for occasional business trips, he is an official section chief of the county government. If he has to take a train to do personal things, he doesn't even want to buy a ticket worth more than ten yuan.
It's more than 200 yuan a month. If you spend a little, you'll get a little less.
Although his family life is not bad, he is indistinguishable from those who have already made a fortune. In his heart, he looks down on his so-called "section chief", including the county government he is busy serving every day.
Why?
My one-month salary is still the same even after it has been increased. If it goes up further, I will write every day, every day, but I won’t get a penny in exchange for it.
On the other hand, the annual manuscript fees (although the royalties in China are the lowest in the world and have been the same for decades) are tens of thousands of yuan or even tens of thousands of yuan...
Therefore, with this idea and confidence, Ma Guan was so hot-headed that he simply did not take the government employee who he had worked hard to become as seriously as he did at the beginning. Damn it, he should cut it off completely.
Leave this place.
An important indicator of life is to live a better life. For this purpose, you can work for the "Party" as a servant of the people, or you can become a singer or sell yourself. Ma Guan is not that noble or mean, he just feels that he has been a loyal drummer for many years.
But he still lived below the quasi-poverty line and felt unbalanced. At the same time, he couldn't see any bright future at all. It would be better to resign and go home to be a "sit-at-home" person who doesn't have to go to work every day and can write freely.
In the end, his lover agreed to his decision, and there was nothing he could do if he disagreed.
When they first started dating, she fell in love with him wholeheartedly because of his literary and artistic talents, and she did believe in his talents. He could make a living in anything he did, and make a decent meal at that.
, she has no doubt in her heart...
Later facts proved that Shimonoseki was just as expected. His ability proved that although resignation was not easy, it was not his best choice at the time. Especially after the government agencies continued to increase their salaries substantially every year, they soon disappeared.
In the past few years, the general salary level has doubled continuously. But that is another story. Just talking about money, it is not bad for Shimonoseki to come from behind. Moreover, he has made so many people and friends from all walks of life...
At that time, colleagues in the county government were surprised at first that Shiguan was leaving without any warning. Later, when they learned that Shiguan was leaving home to concentrate on writing, they felt as if Shiguan was going to die. The faces of the well-intentioned people who persuaded him were full of worry.[
"Damn it...are you too self-righteous and arrogant?"
"Think about it carefully, this is not a trivial matter, Shimonoseki!"
"..."
Needless to say, Shimonoseki himself had always believed that giving up his "formal job" in the county government and "going to work" as a so-called "freelance writer" that was not very fashionable at the time would lead to death.
The place of death and burial.
Now when colleagues and friends tried to persuade him, Shimonoseki didn't answer at all. Instead, after handing the resignation report to his boss, he simply packed up his own things when he returned to his office and packed up some materials, documents and many other things within a few days.
I gave it to someone else, haha, it feels a bit like Xiang Yu back in the day. Everything was almost done, and the leader’s approval came down: “Agree.”
Shimonoseki said: "It's okay now. From this moment on, I, Shimonoseki, can no longer make a living here. Shimonoseki can only go home to fight with magazines and publishing houses! The road to tomorrow is to live if you win, and to die if you lose."
.”
Human beings admire strength, while nature admires weakness. Shimonoseki believes that the wind will last forever, and the rain will last all day. No matter what you do, struggle is the most powerful before you are determined. Once you are determined, the most terrifying thing is indecision and lack of determination.
attitude.
Maguan's act of fighting against the odds not only caused a sensation and controversy in the county government where he was located, but also caused a lot of discussion in the county and city circles where he was located. There were mixed reviews and opinions, which will not be discussed here.
Whatever.
In short, before resigning, Ma Guan did not know Xiao Zixin. At that time, he was still serving as the executive deputy county magistrate and concurrently serving as the county magistrate in Dading County.
Xiao Zixin is a person who loves talents, and he is also a talent himself. Just like when he was transferred from the Petition Office to the Government Office, Secretary Gao Wentai is a person who loves talents. After so many years, he has made great achievements in many other aspects.
Big changes, but the only thing that hasn’t changed is that he still loves talent!
Before Ma Guan resigned in his county town, the literary works he wrote and published were mostly purely fictional novels, essays and the like. After resigning, he became under great pressure, fearing that he would publish less works soon, which would affect his quality of life and make his life worse.
People looked down upon him, so in terms of writing, he adjusted his structure and no longer concentrated on writing the so-called pure literature in the past. Instead, in order to ensure that his annual royalties income continued to increase, he occasionally wrote some easy-to-understand novels and published them in magazines all over the country.
In magazines big and small...
The royalties keep coming.
He lived a very comfortable and decent life, and more importantly, he no longer had to get up and run to the county government from nine to five every day to draft various types of documents or speeches for the leaders.
In less than a year, he sold his original house and bought a new residence with royalties, which made everyone who knew about it look blue...
Moreover, he used to go out privately and was never willing to buy tickets (haha, it saves money), unless he was on business and would be reimbursed when he came back, and he also bought sleeper berths, plane tickets, etc... Now, he doesn't care at all.
It only costs a few dozen yuan to buy a ticket. Sometimes when I go to a provincial capital for an interview and I can’t catch the bus, I just hire a taxi and go directly there. That kind of mentality and comfort is not something you can experience when you are an official.
In a word, everything is decided by oneself, and what supports all these decisions is the large amount of royalties.
He didn't know the police chief Xiao Zixin before, but one day he committed suicide in order to write some stories about the police. He didn't even have a letter of introduction, so he went alone to the Daguo County Public Security Bureau where Xiao Zixin was located.
To be honest, interviewing is one of the most difficult things in China.
Not to mention those press and interview passes that the government has repeatedly emphasized and attached great importance to. Even the letter of introduction from the propaganda unit was not available at the time. What's more, when he went to any small unit, including a hospital,
Interviews in schools and the like are not that easy. If you want to interview someone, they will let you interview them.
