When it comes to Ye Yonglie, everyone's first reaction is that of Ye Yonglie, who wrote "The Rise and Fall of the Gang of Four". But he is not only Ye Yonglie, who writes documentary literature, he is the traveler Ye Yonglie—the travelogues he writes are popular and never reprinted. Here I would like to mention Ye Yonglie, who has not yet written documentary literature.

He studied chemistry at Peking University when he was young, and he was already famous when he didn't graduate: his "Carbon Family" was all over the country, and good luck could not be stopped. He was photographed by the Shanghai Children's Publishing House to participate in the compilation of the eight-volume "100,000 Whys". After graduation, he handed over the peach blossom luck and was also hired by the film science and education to record on the spot.

Bad luck came with the terrible times, and he and the editorial team of "100,000 Whys" were picked up. The manuscript "PHS Roaming the Future" was almost copied, and although "100,000 Whys" was reprinted during the Cultural Revolution, the disgusting publication notes and forced content made him grit his teeth with hatred for these pests. Fortunately, the nightmare was finally over, and Ye Yonglie was reinstated. He continued to participate in the filming of scientific and educational films and won awards. This film is another classic outside of "PHS" -

Autumn has entered, and the harvest season has arrived. There is always a scourge in the harvest process – a large group of green worms eating green cabbage leaves. At this time, pesticides were applied. A large number of bugs were all wiped out, but one here did not die, it was poisoned by drugs.

"It hurts... Oops..." Cai Qing Worm fled all the way to the east and west, and fled to the vicinity of the hospital, yi worm hospital. In order to save his life, he disguised himself, pretended to be ill and fell, was found by a praying mantis who had just been discharged from the hospital, and carried it into the hospital.

The doctor in the hospital, Dr. Woodpecker, came to ask, "What's your last name?" "I... My last name is Cai—"

"What's your name?" "Called... Baby! Oops..."

"What did you eat?" "Eat green... Ah, no, no, no, ate a lot of mulberry leaves, and broke my stomach! In the process of answering, he swallowed and suddenly changed his words, which aroused the suspicion of woodpeckers. It is not possible to determine whether it is a pest or not. It had no choice but to call Nurse Swallow: "Look closely at this disease number." According to the situation of stomach pain, give it medicine and injections, and test the stool. ”

Nurse Swallow took the order and took the scourge to the ward. The other wards are designed to eliminate the scourge. "Where did this guy come from?" The little frog asked. "I don't know."

"What disease are you sick with?" "I... My stomach hurts. Cai Qing Worm said.

"You have to pay attention to what you eat later. This little dragonfly, she has a cold. ”

"I'm a little bee, and my eyes hurt." "My name is Little Frog, I eat too much, my stomach is bloated!" Good big foodie.

"Frogs..." The vegetable worms are thieves with weak hearts. "What's your name?"

"My name is Baby Vegetable..." “？”

The vegetable worm medicine was finished, the needle was finished, and I slept all night. After the stool test, I slept another night.

I have to say that Mr. Qin's background painting is immersive, naturally good feeling. Mr. Dai Tielang, who later became the director, played with the anthropomorphism of the animals - the woodpecker doctor played tai chi, and the hospitalized ones had a kind of learning!

The joy of the insects is the fear of the pests. On the third day, the caregiver came on time to provide nutritious meals. Other beneficial insects and beneficial animals are easy to handle. Only the green worms were afraid when they heard the names of all the pests, and they heard their own - ah! It was so frightened that it covered the quilt, and its abnormal behavior aroused everyone's suspicions.

Everyone went to report, but the scum slipped away. Doctor Woodpecker was calm: "You're right! It does not eat mulberry leaves at all, and is a vegetable worm that specializes in eating green vegetables. It ate pesticides and got poisoned..."

"What about the villain—catch it." Everyone rushed to the ward to see that the villain had slipped away early, leaving a pillow as a disguise!

"Everybody pay attention, now do it now. Catch a green worm who eats green vegetables! It is 2.5 cm tall and wears a yellow scarf and a brown tunic. Let's go find it right away, don't let it run! There was a loud noise on the radio, and all the resting medical staff were out. Beneficial insects and beneficial animals who have recovered from injuries or illnesses also participate.

Sure enough, I didn't run far, and I was still eating. "See if you can still find me..." The vegetable worm triumphantly turned into a pupa. The woodpecker doctor looked at it: "Don't move it first, see what tricks it plays." ”

That's it, day and night guards. When it came to the day when the praying mantis took care of it, the green worm broke out of the pupa and changed into a leather bag.

"Hello wow." - This is called flesh and blood. "Don't move!" Mantis said.

"Why is it so powerful?" We are good friends. "You seem to be —a green worm."

"Oops, you're mistaken. You see I'm a pretty—little butterfly. "No, you're the one who's changed."

"You're so confused. Green worms are green worms, and I am me. "I don't believe it!"

"Green insects eat vegetable leaves, and I don't even touch the edges of the leaves." As soon as you smell the smell of greens, you will be disgusted. Look at you, why do you associate me with the vegetable worm? "No, wait until Dr. Woodpecker comes."

"O my mantis brother—if you really don't believe me, he will pick some nectar and taste it with you, and you will know who I am." Let me go..." So lowly that everyone is called a brother, and he wants to be tempted. But it forgot what the praying mantis ate -- "Oh, I was deceived by you last time, and this time I will never be deceived by you twice!"

"Gee, what are you talking about?" "Hugh is going to put garlic, you are the change of the vegetable worm!"

"Oops, you still don't understand it for most of the day?" The rookie is different from me: it has no wings, I have; it can't fly, and I will—yes, I can dance. I'll give you a flower-picking dance. The vegetable green worm began to dance, and after a dance, he danced down: "I am a butterfly, which is the vegetable green worm?" Like you guys – good on the worms, goodbye! "It's going to run away.

Then. "Stop, you shameful liar!" The Woodpecker Doctor is here.

"Where am I a pest, oh, I'm a little butterfly." You have wronged me, and I eat only nectar. What is the evidence for saying I am a pest? "The green worm whined and cried, and the face cried?" Don't pretend to be garlic, you are the proof: although you don't eat green vegetables now, the babies you spawn will continue to eat greens like you did before! The woodpecker doctor said a broken word.

"I... I..." "Hugh away!" The beneficial insects and beneficial beasts could not bear it any longer and came up to catch it. In the end, it was captured alive by the spider's heavenly net. "You see, how cute this pest has disguised itself! We—"

"—Can't be fooled anymore!" Beneficial insects, beneficial beasts said.

When the author finished writing this fairy tale, the spring of science really came, and the reform and opening up also came. But science fiction literature was frozen five years later in 1983. A controversy over whether it is important to popularize or change people's spirits has led to a large number of science fiction magazines in the field of journalism and publishing: suspended, returned to the oven or not allowed to publish. Zheng Wenguang was angry and became a wasted man; Tong Enzheng learned from Jiang Wei to avoid disasters; Ye Yonglie could not bear the return of the nightmare, and simply dropped the rake of the eight precepts of the pig - not to serve (monkey). Since then, he has been the traveler Ye Yonglie, the biographer Ye Yonglie. So the crystallization of foreign science fiction art took advantage of the void.

Now "Science Fiction World" is still there, and only One Liu Cixin has appeared. How did they feel under the Nine Springs of the Controversy?

"Only by being careful can you do your job well." - Ye Yonglie
