adults of this class are easily impetuous.

turn on your mobile phone 100 times a day, browse Weibo 200 times, and send 300 Wechat messages.

in the Internet world, the flow of information is almost pervasive.

our lives have been cut into countless pieces, and we begin to get used to reading jokes or typing a short passage in our moments to express what we think.

however, as we become more accustomed to the fast-food culture, few people remember the original meaning of literature.

Choosing our collection of high neck evening dresses might just be the best decision you have ever made. Spend time and consider this selection.

there is an 8.5-point documentary called the Daily Life of Literature.

, the Mai family was invited as a guest, and the answer given was very thought-provoking.

some people question: is literature really useful in our time?

the Mai family used a passage to answer:

Yes, it is always said that in this era of rapid development, literature is doomed to be thrown into the nook and cranny.

but as the Mai family said, if there is no literature in life, it is like no moonlight and no birds. Although it will not affect your eating and drinking, it will eventually make the world monotonous.

so, fortunately, although the times are changing rapidly, the ways of information dissemination are also changing.

but no matter which era we live in, there are always many excellent creators who bravely embrace the new wave of the times and take the times as the soil of literature to write a series of new masterpieces.

this is not, recently

pinduoduo

held an event

the midsummer press conference of the Public Voice Creator Plan

, we have invited some creators who speak for the times to talk about literature and the times together.

Mai Jia: writing is my refuge

there is a clip in the Daily Life of Literature--

on a rainy day, the Mai family and friends were shuttling through the streets of their hometown with umbrellas.

he said lightly: "I really wanted to get out of here when I was a kid."

few people know how much pain is hidden behind this sentence.

the Mai family was born in Zhejiang in 1964.

he could have grown up happily, but because of his family, he never enjoyed the happiness of his childhood.

at that time, people of the same age in the village regarded him as a monster and easily bullied and abused him. The father and mother in the family were too hard on him.

the Mai family at a young age have no playmates and no friends, so they have no choice but to digest the loneliness in the process of growing up.

maybe in order to express his depression, the diary has become a tool for him to express his feelings. There are worries, grievances and anger.

his body is covered with tentacles, sensitive to the harm of the world, but can only be written on paper for self-examination.

at the age of 13, the Mai family, who was still a junior high school student, went to the village doctor A Niu's house to pay New year's greetings and accidentally found a book in the firewood pile.

that book is called "Lin Hai Snow Field". It was picked up by A Niu in the street. There are still more than a dozen pages missing at the back of the book, which could only be used to start a fire.

but who knows, Mai's family was fascinated as soon as it was opened. The world in the book, like a charming kaleidoscope, gave him a rare taste of childhood and opened the door to a new life.

he began to find ways to read, and then tried to imagine the outside world.

from then on, the words in his writings are no longer immature diaries, but increasingly mature works.

he wrote "intrigue", with treacherous stories and unpredictable suspense. He not only won the Seventh Mao Dun Literature Award, but also was selected into the "70 novels Collection of New China in 70 years".

he also wrote "declassification", which is deeply watched by the connection between personal fate and the great interests of the country, and was selected by the Daily Telegraph as the "best 20 espionage novels in the history of the world."

it can be said that for the Mai family, the background of childhood is always dark.

but writing is like a beam of light that illuminates his world and reconciles him with the sufferings of life.

when writing the Sea of Life, the Mai family once fell into a bottleneck period.

at that time, he was in the age of knowing his destiny, and he should have been satisfied with his wish, but his father's sudden death caught him by surprise.

before he picked up his pen, he questioned countless times whether he really had the courage to face a childhood riddled with holes.

but fortunately, the Mai family decided to face it.

I have to say that the scars given to the Mai family by the times, although painful, have also become his grindstone, allowing him to jump into the sea of life under the tip of his pen and begin to explore the meaning of writing.

in the recent midsummer press conference of "the Creator of the Voice", he said frankly--

"now there is a saying that unfortunate people spend all their lives curing childhood. Unfortunately, I am such a person, but fortunately I met literature, fell in love with reading and writing, and I was saved."

for him, reading and writing are his own feet.

without these two feet, he would not be able to complete the start of life at all.

maybe the suffering of life is inevitable, but reading and writing will eventually give us some relief.

Liu Zichao: I like to record the world with a pen

unlike the Mai family who was born in the 1960s, the life of young writer Liu Zichao is almost smooth.

Liu Zichao, a post-80s, grew up in an office compound in Beijing and has been well-off since he was a child.

the wrenching strength of the literati has nothing to do with him, he has always advocated love and freedom.

Liu Zichao's opportunity to start writing is actually very simple.

when he was a child, he liked to read travel literature, such as the Adventures of Hal Roger and Robinson Crusoe.

he is eager to venture into wonderful corners of the world like the protagonist in the book.

in 2000, when Liu Zichao was still in high school, his class organized to play in northern Shaanxi.

they drove across the Loess Plateau by bus, and dozens of people crowded together in caves for the night.

Liu Zichao described that when he passed through the most rugged section of the road, he was almost floating, and his ass could not reach the seat at all.

he found that what he liked was never the stability between the squares, but the chic from all over the world.

maybe the fire of travel is burning in my heart. As an adult, Liu Zichao expanded his travel map step by step.

he went to Lijiang, Tianshan, Northern Europe and Central Asia.

once, Liu Zichao traveled in Central Asia and was firmly attracted by the local conditions and customs there.

for him, it is a completely different world from his native land, and few Chinese people set foot on it.

Liu Zichao, who graduated from the Chinese department of Peking University, suddenly came up with an idea: why not write down all the stories during the trip? Anyway, he loves to travel, he also loves literature, and he has more experience as a journalist.

Liu Zichao's teenage salesman

after tossing and turning for a long time, he finally made up his mind:

from then on, he traveled while writing.

compared with the previous generation of writers, he did not suffer so much, but had more opportunities to explore every corner of the world. But this does not mean that the pen in his hand is doomed to lack the weight of the times.

in the midsummer press conference of "the Creator of Voices", he told a short story:

once when he went scuba diving, there was a wind and waves blowing on the sea. He asked the coach worriedly, "can you still dive?"

the coach comforted: "it's all right. I'll be all right if I go down."

Liu Zichao went into the water with an oxygen tank on his back, only to find that the sea did not fluctuate so much at all, but just went up and down like a heartbeat.

he believes that the influence of the times on people is like the surface of the sea.

the tide of the times that we can see is just like the foam on the surface of the sea, and the real wave of the times is the deeper sound of the pulse of the sea like a heartbeat.

he said: I want to write for the times, not for the froth of the times.

in Liu Zichao's works, there are the remains of pagodas seen by Xuan Zang, the blue waters of Issyk Lake, and the bright smiles of Central Asian girls.

he immersed himself in the real travel experience, observed the different people and things of this era, and made his brilliant works.

Chen Jiaofan: science fiction changes the world

if the Mai family and Liu Zichao recorded the real world.

then, Chen Jiaofan, a post-80s writer, is full of fascinating imagination.

in an interview with the Zhongsheng Creator Project, he recalled his creative process:

that was 20 years ago, when the Internet just entered every household.

Chen Jiufan, who has just turned 20, like many Internet addicted teenagers, began to indulge in surfing the Internet.

however, unlike most people, Chen Jiaofan, who likes to read the World of Science Fiction, pays more attention not to online games, but to rich and fascinating advanced technology.

he strictly divides life into two lines:

an extreme reason--

according to the secular desire, read Peking University step by step, take the offer of Baidu, Google and other famous companies, study the technology in the Internet wave, and have several jet lag meetings with people from different countries every day.

A piece full of imagination--

pick up your favorite pen and type the world you have built in your mind since childhood into the word document word for word.

the two lines that seem to never intersect converge perfectly on him.

in Chen Jiaofan's science fiction, you can easily capture two different elements:

compared with the previous generation of science fiction writers, Chen Jiaofan never stuck to the imagination in his mind.

he has done Internet-related work and knows the secrets behind those technologies, so he is often able to pour them directly into his writing.

when he worked at Google, his favorite project team was called Project X.

X stands for unknown, and the things studied are interesting: space ladders, human genetic sequencing, VR glasses, self-driving.

although most of them have come to nothing, only a small number of projects have been studied.It can always make a big difference to the world.

in Chen Jiao-fan's view, science fiction and scientific research actually have the same effect.

he quoted a sentence from Liu Cixin:

in the process of the rise of many great powers in history, it is accompanied by a large-scale science fiction phenomenon.

those imaginative blueprints that transcend reality will eventually become technological and social changes that transform reality.

who says it's not?

just as many of the scenes in 2001 Space Odyssey, filmed in 1968, slowly become a reality 50 years later, the imagination hidden in science fiction will change the tide of the times sooner or later.

even if science fiction is just a seed, as long as it is watered by everyone, it will grow into a towering tree sooner or later.

have read a sentence:

the writer spends all his life and may leave only a few books.

if you spend a little time, you can easily hear different voices and see different worlds in the book.

probably, this is the meaning of reading and writing.

pinduoduo

the reason for organizing

"Public Voice Creator Project"

, I also hope that in this impetuous era, we can find a quiet place where we can listen to the creator's voice and feel the moonlight-like soothing literary feelings.

in a word, the name "Voice Creator Project" still comes from Shakespeare's "Storm"--

"there is a lot of noise on the island."

pinduoduo believes that talent is the most precious gift in the world. They hope that creation is to express their views directly, accept all rivers, and be respected and supported at the same time.

so, in addition to the above-mentioned Mai Jia, Liu Zichao and Chen Jiaofan, the Zhongsheng Creator Project has invited writers from many different fields to settle in:

Zheng Yuanjie, Yi Zhongtian, he Fan, Yu Xiuhua, Zhou Guoping, Luo Xin, Chen Luyu, Li Fang, GE Shuyi, walking, Jin Yucheng, Cheng Yongxin, Li Weichang, Sangge, Zhou Jianning.

although the styles of writing are different and the fields of writing are different, they still speak for the times, create everlasting literary works, and promote books to a wider audience.

as pinduoduo's large-scale knowledge inclusion action

"more Reading month"

can help these excellent creators find more users on the e-commerce platform, gain more revenue, and enable writers, readers, and publishing organizations to achieve friendly and benign interaction.

if you also have genuine works that you want to read, you are welcome to buy them on pinduoduo.

in fact, this is not the first time pinduoduo has put into practice in the direction of universal knowledge as an e-commerce platform.

as early as April this year, pinduoduo launched a series of subsidy activities for authentic good books, subsidizing tens of billions of yuan online in the book special show, and using the platform to arouse the enthusiasm of the whole people for reading.

since then, public welfare activities such as "Reading to you" have been held, inviting celebrities from cultural circles and publishing houses to go to China's grass-roots mountains and villages to donate books and books to school children.

pinduoduo hopes that through the e-commerce platform, a bridge of knowledge will be built between readers and creators, so that reading by the whole people can be popularized at a deeper level.

you know, reading is never a high-level thing.

as long as you really love reading, then books will also use its way to give you the response you want.
