Editor's note: The Year of the Tiger is the New Year, and the big coffee is the New Year! On the eve of the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, friends from all walks of life at home and abroad sent New Year greetings through the Southern Metropolis Daily and N video to celebrate the Chinese New Year!
On December 15, 2021, as the only contributor to the monthly magazine "Fairy Tale King", Zheng Yuanjie announced that "Fairy Tale King" will be discontinued on New Year's Day this year. After that, he will devote all his energy to the rights defense struggle against 672 trademarks that have been preemptively registered in bad faith. On the eve of the Spring Festival of the Year of the Tiger, Zheng Yuanjie said in a return interview with Nandu and N video reporters that it is still difficult to adapt to life after the suspension of publication, but the new progress in trademark protection has relieved him a lot. "The 672 infringing trademarks have finally been reduced by one."
Rights advocacy continues, so does writing. Even if she does not publish new works, Zheng Yuanjie still maintains long-term interaction with readers, "chatting with readers is a very relaxing thing." For the younger generation, Zheng Yuanjie did not hesitate to give affirmation, but also sent a sincere message: "I hope they use their own advantages, self-reliance, do not nibble on the old, so that it can be." ”
At the end of the interview, Zheng Yuanjie offered a New Year greeting to the readers of the Southern Metropolis Daily and N Video: "Nothing else is counted, the most important thing is good health." I hope that everyone will maintain good living habits, and health must be decided by themselves. ”
There have been new developments on the road to trademark protection
It has been suspended for more than a month, and time has not diluted the sadness in Zheng Yuanjie's heart. Originally, the middle of each month was a fixed day for the cover of "Fairy Tale King", and in mid-December last year, Zheng Yuanjie tossed and turned due to "sudden suspension" and couldn't sleep all night.
A month later, Zheng Yuanjie told Nandu reporters that the symptoms of insomnia seemed to be worse. "The heart is empty." He was never able to accept that he had personally suspended the publication of The Fairy Tale King.
"I started writing Fairy Tale King at the age of 29, and it's been 36 years, and it's become a part of my life, and I think it will take me a long time to adjust to life after the suspension."
Fortunately, Zheng Yuanjie's unrelenting progress on the road of rights protection has finally brought him good news.
On January 6, Zheng Yuanjie announced on Weibo that he would authorize Guangzhou Vimax to use the name and image of "Shuk Beta" to promote the sale of domestic children's oral care products. Previously, Vimax infringed Zheng Yuanjie's intellectual property rights because of its "Shuke" trademark, and the "tug-of-war" between the two parties lasted for nearly three years, and finally Vimax Company submitted a letter of withdrawal to the Beijing Intellectual Property Court to accept the invalidation ruling made by the State Intellectual Property Office on its registered "Shuk" trademark.
"The 672 infringing trademarks have finally been reduced by one." Zheng Yuanjie said with satisfaction. The Spring Festival is approaching, and when it comes to the outlook for the New Year, he firmly states that he will fight the infringing trademark to the end. "In the new year, I hope to successfully protect all 671 infringing trademarks, quickly end this uncomfortable life, and then resume the publication of "Fairy Tale King" as soon as possible."
The suspension of publication does not mean that the pen is closed, and Zheng Yuanjie still maintains the habit of daily writing. "I used to wake up at 4:30 a.m. and write until 6:30, and now it's even earlier, and I go to bed at 6:30 p.m. and get up at 2:30 a.m. every night. The habit of writing has been going on for 36 years. ”
"Today's young people are smarter and more capable than their predecessors"
Writing and rights protection are undoubtedly the focus of Zheng Yuanjie's work at this stage, in addition, he spends several hours every day interacting with readers on the Internet.
"One morning when I was writing, I suddenly wondered if anyone would be as awake as I was." In the early morning of August 17, 2015, Zheng Yuanjie posted a Weibo post entitled "Tell me why I'm awake now?" "Quickly got nearly a thousand responses. Since then, he has been up every day to post an interactive Weibo post with the topic "Early bugs are eaten by birds", inviting readers to speak freely in the comment area, a habit that has continued until now.
What impressed him most was that a female reader left a message that she was urged to marry by her family, hoping to get the blessing of "getting off the list as soon as possible". "She grew up watching my work, and she also wants her future children to see my work and help my book grow sales."
Zheng Yuanjie, who has always been kind to readers and almost responsive, did not meet this reader's wishes for the first time. "It is better to have no children in the world without a fairy tale book and no market, and it is not possible to wish people without fate to have children alone." In Zheng Yuanjie's view, choosing whether to marry or not is a personal right, and it cannot be made up for marriage and children, "without the right resoluteness can not be reluctant to be difficult."
Social media has built a platform for Zheng Yuanjie and readers to communicate, and at the other end of the network, readers from all walks of life from all walks of life in the north and south of the world pour out to Zheng Yuanjie, but he never feels that this is a burden.
"Chatting with everyone is a very relaxing and natural thing, and I feel very interesting about the questions asked by everyone."
Zheng Yuanjie, who dropped out of school in the fourth grade of primary school, claims that she "knows less and doesn't know anything", so she has the fullest curiosity and expectation for all magical and unimaginable things.
He confessed to the Nandu reporter that he did not like to be in close contact with others, but he liked to carefully observe every passer-by in life. "I often look at the young people on the side of the road and think they are all living happily and energetically."
For the younger generation, Zheng Yuanjie gave his own affirmation: "There has never been a country or a nation that is inferior to a generation, and the young people now are definitely smarter and more capable than their predecessors." Sometimes young readers ask him how to relieve stress, and he also suggests that there is no need to take on too heavy a burden, "use your own advantages, support yourself, and don't nibble on the old, so that you can do it." ”
With the Spring Festival approaching, Zheng Yuanjie presented a New Year greeting to the readers of The Southern Metropolis Daily and N Video. This blessing is simple and simple, but it is especially warm in the context of the ongoing global epidemic: "Everything else is counted, the most important thing is good health." I hope that everyone will maintain good living habits, and health must be decided by themselves. ”
