"Youth" Minority Report

On June 7th, the day after the publication of the Minority Report, Jing M. Guo recommended in Weibo: "The second edition of the Drunken Minority Report published on June 6th is a very special book. It should belong to only a few people, but it has awakened most people. The faint call will be drowned in the strong wind, but thousands of tiny calls will be gathered into a river of sound and will be heard. "

20 12 June, Jing M.Guo's "most secular" cultural team published a new book "Minority Report", which is the second in the drunken ink series. "Drunken Ink Series" is the highest-end semi-annual report of Drunken Ink and a part of Drunken Ink.

In today's China, many young people's youth books are The Novelist, which was edited by Jing M.Guo from June 5th to 10, 2006. This youth-themed publication is divided into columns, short stories, novellas, long serials, picture books and other columns. The sales volume of 500,000 copies in each issue makes it the first issue of youth literature.

20 12 The first issue of Youth Literature focuses on the stories of "minorities" such as autistic patients, schizophrenics, unmarried mothers, sex workers, orphans, homosexuals, vagrants, AIDS patients and disabled people, which also means that the stories of these "minorities" have become a part of the world that China teenagers care about.

"We found that society is becoming more and more open and technology is getting more and more advanced, but the' minority' in society has not decreased, but has gradually expanded to more and more fields. What caused this? Is this a cultural retrogression in a sense? " Jing M.Guo told this reporter that this book was planned out of these ideas.

On June 7th, the day after the publication of the Minority Report, Jing M. Guo recommended in Weibo: "The second edition of the Drunken Minority Report published on June 6th is a very special book. It should belong to only a few people, but it has awakened most people. The faint call will be drowned in the strong wind, but thousands of tiny calls will be gathered into a river of sound and will be heard. "

"Hidden" Ethnic Minorities

Although talking about social issues, this "minority report", especially "teenagers", has cartoons and illustrations, and its content is varied, including papers, narratives, essays and poems.

"My father left me his palm, not the way to hold it. Mother left her lips to me, not by kissing. The city brought people to me, but not in a popular way. The world pushes the years to me, not by hugging. "

Paired with this essay named "Only Me" is a picture. In this picture, a little boy is looking thoughtfully out of the window.

Jing M.Guo hopes that through this book, we can see a different world. The pictures and authors are based on real stories of society, including Li Xi's face-to-face interview with wandering artists, the true narration of Chai Jing, a famous host of CCTV, and the question and answer of Mao Danqing, a Japanese writer living in. "Before writing, we will understand and think about the causes of these ethnic minorities, their psychological evolution and the views of the social crowd on them from books, movies and television. I also interviewed some ethnic minorities and extracted real materials directly from their daily lives. "

But to some extent, this book still has a strong "adolescence" color. Basically, it describes the world from the subjective angle of the first person "I"; Still expressing their pain and confusion; In this complex world, it is full of personal cognitive hardships and efforts. "Go all out ... the most modern culture first shows this topic that few people talk about with its own perspective and feelings-'minority', either sad, colorful, sad, dark, meaningful or touching." The propaganda draft of Minority Report is more like reflecting the inner world of these young writers in their twenties: "Or sad, or gorgeous, or sad, or dark, or meaningful".

In this book, Jing M.Guo's personal favorite is Children of Time. The signing author of "The Most Contemporary Culture" is one of the top 12 contestants in the first "Next Literary Innovation" newcomer selection contest. In this article, she tells the story of a wandering singer in the form of an interview with a reporter.

Xiao Pi walked out of the town and came to the metropolis, almost releasing an album, but she passed by the goddess of luck. Xiao Pi thinks that her present life is "basically good and rich", but Li Xi, the listener, feels the weight and thickness of every word. She wrote: "Perhaps this is the heaviest gift that time can give a soul-it is not a smooth experience. After a few years, through memory and thinking, it will precipitate into the most peaceful and powerful support in the heart, and this soul will have the wisdom of a wise man and the courage of a child.

Please come to Chai Jing to write a story.

Chai Jing is probably the most abrupt author of Minority Report, belonging to "adolescence". There are also young idol writers in their twenties. Jing M. Guo said that Chai Jing was chosen because of some agreement between them. "I hope to analyze the' minority' group from her unique perspective." Therefore, Chai Jing's article is also particularly "heavy taste"

"When they think that you are also struggling for survival, we are equal."

As the "chief writer", Chai Jing described the inspiration of freelance photographer Zhao. The first sentence she wrote was: "I said I became a reporter because of Zhao Lintie."

Many years ago, in the school library dealing with waste magazines, Chai Jing saw a light and shadow magazine, the cover of which was a photo taken by Zhao Wei 16-year-old prostitute A V. She pinched her boyfriend's nose and made him say "I love you". She held a kitten lovingly, regardless of the customers in line. After the business was over, she held her cheek and listened to old John telling the truth about life. She met a handsome young man happily. She sat in a shabby bed, showing her pregnant belly. She was lying on the bed in the moonlight, looking straight at the camera ... Chai Jing was shocked: "Her eyes hit me at once, which made me feel painful and kind."

Later, she got in touch with the magazine, became the first Beijing-based reporter, and achieved her first cooperation with Zhao-interviewing a single mother who came back from Japan. I didn't expect the mother to ignore Chai Jing, but let Zhao take pictures. Lao Zhao's sentence "If you want to shoot the weak, let the weak sympathize with you" woke her up.

Chai Jing said that after ten years as a journalist, I really learned to get rid of moral judgment and political correctness and try to observe. It is also the purpose of Jing M. Guo to be unreasonable and talk about feelings. "The purpose of this book is not to make sense, but to make readers understand and sink their hearts to think and judge."

Readers have different reactions to minority reports. On Douban.com, netizens questioned this group of young writers: "Writers under the age of 20 and 25 began to write about marginalized people, divorce, murder and family, thinking that this is the so-called' seriousness' and' maturity'. I won't question their writing level, but there is no doubt that the limitation of their own experience has led to the serious theme becoming a kind of curiosity, pretending to be profound but only superficial ... doing enough stunts in publicity and binding ... "Jing M.Guo's response to the question is:" That's because they haven't read this book. In fact, no one who has read it will think it is an anecdote. "

Some readers like this expression. SKY, a 23-year-old college student, likes Jing M. Guo's essay Focus best: "Everyone can be the center of the world, the focus of eyes and the direction of cheering. As long as you are brave enough. As long as you are fearless. Including death. Including destruction. " What SKY saw in the Minority Report was not a very small number, but a very large number, because everyone would encounter similar situations: others, helplessness, inferiority, vulnerability and incomprehension. ...

Perhaps, from this Minority Report, which expresses personal experiences and tells others, we can also see the social participation and some efforts of Jing M.Guo and his team of young writers behind the gorgeous novels. Many people don't know that this novel initiated by the post-80 s has also established a "novel fund". Every reader buys a book, which means that a penny will be deposited in the fund. Since its establishment, "Novelist Fund" has helped children in Banshanmen Township Central Primary School in Tibetan areas, people affected by Wenchuan earthquake and Zhouqu in Gansu, and fans suffering from leukemia in Wuhan.

In an interview with reporters, Jing M. Guo said that they "not only continue to transmit positive public welfare energy in the form of the most novel fund, but also always care about and pay attention to related cultural events and participate in social changes in the most appropriate way."
