Today, writers in the circle of friends are forwarding a "plagiarism incident" from 12 years ago, and Lin Peiyuan's "Dark Light" in the "Minimal Novel : Third Anniversary Special Issue" is suspected of "copycating" her "Human Character Side" published in "Carp in the Name of Love" in August of the same year. Years have passed, and the young writer Lin Peiyuan has not responded to this.
I remembered two small memories.
The first thing in the past. I was once copied by a Peking University doctor and professor at Jiaotong University. I sent a public inquiry on Weibo, hoping that the other party would send an email as soon as possible to apologize. Three days later, the other party apologized "breathlessly" and sent me an email. I will do what I say, and I will not pursue it if I apologize.
But like that young writer Lin Peiyuan was silent for 12 years, he didn't respond or apologize, how thick his face was! However, when you think that "Minimal Report" was run by Guo Jingming, it is not unusual.
In addition to Lin Peiyuan's silence, he is now a doctor of literature at Tsinghua University, and asia weekly recommended his works, and a bunch of winners such as the Mao Dun Literature Prize and the People's Literature Award gave him cover recommendations.
Others say they represent the degeneration of the literary world. What qualifications do they have to represent the literary community? They can only represent the pigsty! Since they have abandoned the most basic principles of right and wrong.
By the way, did the big guy who recommended Guo Jingming into the Writers Association come out to express his attitude after Guo Jingming finally admitted to plagiarism and publicly apologized after many years? Who knows what will follow?
The second thing is more twisted and bizarre.
Once a small editor came to add me QQ, saying that he had looked up to me for a long time, and hoped to cooperate in the future and write for her.
It was the boom of journal magazines, and I was writing dozens of short stories a year, many columns and essays. Dealing with many, many editors. No doubt there was him, directly added, and also chatted a few words.
After no contact, I forgot about the existence of this person.
Later, the publishing house asked me to sort out the manuscripts to produce new collections, the computer changed frequently, the original manuscript was lost, the Internet inquiry, suddenly found an article, and I wrote a life experience very similar, and that article is a new book from a new generation of young writers. And the author is also the editor-in-chief of the well-known magazine "Yilin Full Color Edition" - the name is Xifeng Nanpu. I was stunned.
My first reaction, who is she?
How come I wasn't impressed that I had this very familiar friend of hers? Yilin magazine, I know very well, and I have a very familiar editor-in-chief friend, but not her. She directly changed my life experience to the story of "My Friend Xiao Ke", and the rest was copied and copied.
The news reported that she was a post-90s, I was one round older than her, writing a whole generation earlier, she actually called me Xiao Ke? Even more quirky.
She also tampered with the original manuscript to add a blind plot. She was a post-90s person who didn't know anything about the people born in the 80s and the university life at that time. What she writes about renting a house requires a quiet environment. She imagined it from a girl's point of view, and as a result, she dressed up.
When I was a boys' dormitory, other people went out to the Internet café for many years to play games online, and the dormitory was reading and writing alone, very quiet.
She could have reasonably "quoted" to tell the true story of a writer's predecessor. Then I can't pursue it. But she directly washed the manuscript, and the original text was copied hard in large paragraphs, which was simply too fat. How did this man become the editor-in-chief of the magazine?
Over the years, I have been plagiarized and washed by professors of famous universities, chairmen of writers' associations, newspaper reporters, and other people, and all of them are conclusive evidence, and I just don't bother to investigate.
This time, I actually encountered the editor-in-chief of the magazine plagiarizing and washing the manuscript. You know, this autobiographical story of mine has been published in the best-selling Reader magazine in China!
Such a small circle she dared to copy my manuscript... It's incredible.
Later, according to insiders in the industry, this young man went to the magazine to apply, boasted that her author resources are very strong, and has a lot of friendship with many excellent writers, which probably means that who is who is her good friend, who is who, she knows very well, a phone call, the next day to give the manuscript.
Such a powerful talent, the magazine is of course thirsty for talent. As a result, she passed the puzzle and "sought" the position of editor-in-chief.
Only then did I find out that the editor on QQ was her. We said less than five words. I became a resource of acquaintances, my stories, written into her books.
I was very angry and asked her to apologize publicly, but the plagiarist said sorry privately on QQ, and there has been no reply. So far, he pretends to be dead and refuses to apologize publicly.
Not long after, she became the former editor-in-chief of the magazine, presumably after the wear gang was exposed, and finally kicked out of the magazine. After 2019, there is no update news.
Looking back on the past, at this moment, I suddenly had a big brain hole.
What if, I mean, this zephyr Nampo, was looking for me as a celebrity recommendation? I most likely said yes.
Over the years, I've made cover recommendations for too many new authors. The reason is simple, I was once a newcomer, and I have also sought help from celebrities. Many authors have never known each other, and when they came to me for help, I didn't say a word and agreed to it. I always feel that writing is already difficult, publishing is even more difficult, if you can help, you can help, raise your hand.
I used to be a newcomer, I experienced haughty rejection, and I also received warm care. So, hopefully the world will change a little bit.
If Zephyr Nampo copied my article and asked me to recommend it, I agreed, and the name hung on the cover of her book. Then I really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't tell. You personally recommended it, who knows if you have any interest exchange? Then I couldn't condemn her, I couldn't ask her to apologize publicly, I could only knock out my teeth and swallow blood, and silently swallow into my stomach.
If I didn't find out in 2019, I guess she is now like the young male writer at the beginning, mixing more and more, right? She can rely on the title of editor-in-chief of well-known publications, get more aura, study for a doctorate, find a patron, hand over more celebrities to her platform to make recommendations, and even make movies, be a director, and directly ignore the writer's circle.
Fortunately, she wasn't cunning enough to get there. Fortunately, I saw her book.
Fortunately, Skynet was restored without leakage.
