Chapter 232: The Madman Who Dotes on His Wife
Everyone burst into laughter, and Wen Xin also nodded with a smile: "I have read it. Your name is Xiao Nan, right? So what do you think of the writing?"
Xiao Nan was amused: "Teacher, you interrupted me. I just wanted to ask you, what do you think of this novel?"
Wen Xin thought for a moment and chose his words carefully:
"From the description of various details of the Song Dynasty, it can be seen that the author is very professional and rigorous. As for the literary quality, this is a matter of opinion. In my opinion, the reading experience is relatively smooth and comfortable."
"Ah? Teacher Wen, are you biased against online novels? You're giving them such a conservative review."
Xiao Nan's words were agreed by many classmates, but some also spoke out against it.
"Online novels are just street literature. They have no literary value at all and cannot be compared with serious literature. They can't even be called literature at all."
The person who spoke was a boy wearing glasses.
Xiao Nan looked at the boy and smiled and asked, "My classmate, I would like to ask, what do you think of Jin Yong's work?"
Everyone looked at the boy quietly.
Three years ago, in 94, Jin Yong was specially appointed as an honorary professor of Kyoto University.
In recent years, professors in the Chinese Department of Kyoto University have been offering courses on the study of Jin Yong's novels, which is a great recognition of the literary status of Jin Yong's martial arts novels.
The boy was stunned, but answered seriously:
"The literary quality of Jin Yong's novels is beyond doubt, and he has also raised the ideological quality of martial arts novels to an unprecedented peak."
Xiao Nan looked at the boy and spoke in a clear voice.
"My dear classmate, I agree with you. But for many years, Jin Yong's martial arts novels were isolated in the category of popular novels and were rejected and looked down upon by many serious literary writers."
"In fact, even the four great classics were just storybooks circulated among the people. Jin Yong serialized his novels in newspapers, which is the same as serializing them on the Internet now."
The boy shook his head. “But that’s Jin Yong. He’s a master. When he started serializing, he was already a celebrity.”
Xiao Nan laughed and said, "You see, you are using the author to define the work. But I think it should be the other way around, using the work to define the author. Content should be king in any work."
A boy stood up and clapped for Xiao Nan.
"I totally agree. I've read some online novels, and they vary in quality, but there are indeed some excellent ones. I think we should put aside our prejudices and analyze the works objectively, rather than simply dismissing new things."
After the debate, Wen Xin smiled appreciatively and applauded with his classmates.
It is much more useful for them to discuss, debate and persuade each other on their own than for the teacher to preach to them.

On the Xinyue Literature website, the subscription volume of "Modern Style of Song Dynasty Daughters-in-law" has been increasing.
Many people who clicked in found that although the name seemed nonsensical, the content was actually wonderful and profound.
The details are exquisite, the character settings are clear and interesting, and the main idea is sublimated step by step, from a suitable family to the final family, country and the world.
By the time it was completed two months later, it had become a phenomenal work in online literature, and a bunch of loyal fans were crying out for a sequel.
The author Tu Doudou was very kind to his fans and added a 60,000-word extra chapter before the film was allowed to be released.
When the book became a hit, a publishing house had already contacted us about publishing the book and started the publishing process.
After the book was finished, there was a spontaneous online fan group selection of book models. Xinyue Literature Network also asked the author to participate, and finally decided on two book models.
As soon as the final makeup photos came out, book fans were excited, and a group of people began to cry and beg for the filming of the drama.
The publishing house struck while the iron was hot and moved much faster than before, publishing the book just before the Spring Festival.
The book's title used the more elegant alias - "Zhu Zhuo Qi Hua".
The heroine's name is Hua Zhuo.
......
In the cold winter, the wind was howling in Beijing, but the auditoriums of all sizes in Beijing were steaming hot.
The room was packed with people, all patiently waiting for Tu Doudou's new book signing event.
The door of the auditorium opened, and Tan Mu and Wen Xin walked into the venue side by side, causing a commotion in the venue.
Some students from Beijing University have already started discussing quietly: "Isn't that Teacher Wen?"
"Yes, next to him is Tan Mu, a senior from Tanxin Technology. Are they here together to support Tudoudou?"
Seeing Wen Xin and Tan Mu going up to the podium, Wen Xin sat in the seat with the nameplate "Tu Doudou", which caused a sensation in the audience.
Several students from Beijing University shouted out of control: "Teacher Wen... Oh my God, Teacher Wen, you are Tu Doudou..."
Wen Xin smiled and waved to the audience. Staff members came out to maintain order and the noise gradually died down.
The conference begins.
When it was time to answer questions from reporters, the reporter from Beijing Evening News started asking questions first:
"I want to ask Mr. Tan a question. Mr. Tan, congratulations on the success of your Xinyue Literature Network as soon as it was launched, and the emergence of such phenomenal works. How did you come up with the idea of establishing this website?"
Tan Mu sat upright, looking handsome and talking eloquently.
"It started because my wife wrote a novel of hundreds of thousands of words, but she felt there was no suitable place to publish it. So we built this website to provide a platform for online literature enthusiasts."
"Then may I ask if your wife's work has been published?"
Tan Mu looked at Wen Xin with a smile, held her hand on the table, raised it and waved at the reporters.
"It was published, and it was very successful. I am here today just to support my wife."
The audience, which had been a little agitated just now, was in an uproar.
A group of young book lovers were stunned.
"Oh my god, what a perfect couple they are. They built a website just to find a place to publish their wife's novel. Mr. Tan is really amazing."
"Fuck, Mr. Tan is a real-life wife-loving maniac. Compared to him, sending flowers and gifts is simply unbearable."
"Oh, who would have thought that I would be forced to show some affection when I came to a book signing event. I don't even have a girlfriend, this is really heartbreaking."
"It's over. After seeing Teacher Wen, I feel like I will never get married in this life."
......
Another reporter began to ask: "Master Tudoudou, I would like to ask what is the origin of your pen name?"
Wen Xin couldn't help but sigh:
"Alas, this is a very irresponsible pen name. It comes from the fact that since high school, my husband has had a nickname for me, Little Potato."
Wen Xin gestured.
"He just relied on his own height...you know the sense of superiority that adolescent boys have."
Tan Mu laughed along with the whole audience.
Wen Xin continued to sigh: "Alas, this pen name is actually the one thing I regret the most now. I just picked it randomly at the time."
"If I had known this novel would be so popular, I would have chosen a more sophisticated name. For example, the pen name of my previous book, "Wen Xin," is more reliable than this one."
The reporter caught the message in her words: "Oh? Have you published any books?"
"Yes, it was published when I was an undergraduate student. It's a history book called Qingping Yasong. I can also write serious things, not just time-travel novels."
Laughter broke out again.
