A children's publication that has accompanied generations
Came to the end
Zheng Yuanjie's "Fairy Tale King" was discontinued
This year's December issue became its masterpiece
Founded in 1985, "Fairy Tale King" has published 495 issues so far, with a total print run of more than 200 million copies, and each story is independently written by Zheng Yuanjie.
Some people say that "The Fairy Tale King" itself is a "fairy tale" that is difficult to reproduce.
Zheng Yuanjie wrote a letter with tears in her eyes
Why did you choose to stop publication at this moment? In "A Letter Written by Zheng Yuanjie with Tears", he explained:
"I want to say sorry to the millions of readers and friends who have supported the monthly magazine "Fairy Tale King" for 36 years, sorry that I am 66 years old and have limited energy, and I can only devote all my energy to fighting with the 7197328 Pipilu trademark, the 8229932 Fairy Tale King trademark, and the 5423972 Shuk trademark by stopping writing the monthly "Fairy Tale King" monthly magazine."
Readers lament: the memories of generations
The suspension of "Fairy Tale King" made readers very sorry, and some people lamented: Shuk Beta, Pippiru, Rubik's Cube Mansion, is the memory of childhood ah...
"I began to watch your Fairy Tale King for more than eight years, and now I have become my son's spiritual food, and I feel deep regret."
A netizen said that he thought that there would be this day, but when this day really came, he still felt unreal. Along with it, there was also the juvenile period around 2000.
Zheng Yuanjie's fairy tale is a childhood that generations cannot avoid.
From "The Legend of Shuk Beta", "Roque the Great Bad Wolf", "Pentium Money Detector" to "Rubik's Cube Mansion", Zheng Yuanjie has created a large number of classic fairy tales.
Zheng Yuanjie's stories are integrated into many of his thinking and unique educational concepts, and these characters are also the epitome of Zheng Yuanjie, who does not obey authority, does not flattery and snobbery, and often does not fit in with traditional concepts, becoming the brand of the times with a wonderful painting style.
This is not the first time that Fairy Tale King has been discontinued
In fact, this is not the first time that Fairy Tale King has been suspended.
The last time was in 2002, when Zheng Yuanjie was criticized by CCTV's "Today's Sayings" program, and Sabine said on the screen that his fairy tale works were "full of inappropriate content for children."
After the show aired, there was an uproar, parents wrote to the media to denounce Zheng Yuanjie for poisoning the next generation, and many schools banned his books. A mother in Xi'an wrote to Zheng Yuanjie: "The recent Fairy Tale King has an adult tendency and is not suitable for children to read. ”
Zheng Yuanjie announced in anger that since 2002, "Fairy Tale King" has only published old works.
Those years were Zheng Yuanjie's "transition period", a large number of readers who followed him from childhood into adulthood, they hoped that Zheng Yuanjie could continue to create new stories for the "Pippiru" who grew up, and Zheng Yuanjie began to create multiple novels.
The resulting "Wisdom Teeth" and "Golden Thumb" were greatly successful, with the total number of prints exceeding one million copies, but Zheng Yuanjie obviously felt that the more restrictions he wrote, the more words such as hemorrhoids and menstruation caused parents to be dissatisfied, and finally even the word "marriage" could not appear, and the "Ghost Car" in the series was forced to stop.
"Fairy Tale King" was written by one person for 36 years
On the 20th anniversary of the founding of "Fairy Tale King", a commemorative album was published. On the title page, Zheng Yuanjie wrote four big characters of "personality".
"I have what I have today, which is entirely due to character. My personality is not good, my heart is not open-minded, and I will repay my eyes. But without this, at least "Fairy Tale King" would not have been written alone for 36 years. ”
On May 30, 1978, his fairy tale debut, Gecko and Bat, was confirmed for inclusion in the children's journal Sunflower, and the editor returned a handwritten letter affirming that his ideals of writing for children were remarkable. Zheng Yuanjie set this day as the starting point for his children's literature creation.
Zheng Yuanjie, who worked tirelessly, quickly became famous, and almost all of his works were published in famous children's publications across the country. Some magazines sold 100,000 copies because of their popularity.
But then he discovered a problem, that is, in that era of a thousand words and two dollars, his income would not rise because of magazine sales, and his payment was not proportional to his income.
In 1985, under the introduction of a reader, he contacted the Youth League Committee of Shanxi Province and ran his own children's publication, which later became "Fairy Tale King". At that time, he proposed royalties instead of royalties, which was a precedent at the time.
Three years later, the monthly sales of "Fairy Tale King" exceeded one million.
The text of "Fairy Tale King" accounts for a very high proportion, for a long time the picture-text ratio is more than 9:1, and all the stories are completed by Zheng Yuanjie, and the intensity of work can be imagined.
Bought 10 suites to store reader letters
In addition to writing, Zheng Yuanjie often writes back to her young readers. For his own readers, Zheng Yuanjie is a warm day for decades.
A well-known story is that in the 1990s, Zheng Yuanjie bought 10 apartments in Beijing in one go because of the mountains of letters from readers, which were dedicated to storing these letters.
"These 10 houses have never been lived, rented out, not sold, and the letter is still inside. I never managed money, and now these houses are all school district houses. ”
Adults who grew up watching his works will continue to see him as a life mentor, asking him all kinds of questions on Weibo, their work, emotional difficulties, confusion about the future, and how to educate their next generation.
Over the years, Zheng Yuanjie has not stopped writing. A total of 5 million words have been written in several years and have not yet been published. According to his plan, 13 unpublished novels, including "The Enemy", will be published 100 years after his death.
At the end of this year,
Although "Fairy Tale King" is painted with a rest,
But Zheng Yuanjie's story will continue.
Stop publishing without stopping writing,
I wish Teacher Zheng forever young!
