I met Mr. Hu Wenjiang in the online review of Jianghu. Ten years ago, in Donghu Review, Tianfu Review, and Red Chili Peppers, Mr. Hu Wenjiang and I were both active authors. At that time, one of his impressions was that he had a large output of review works, and the other was that he loved to review the review works of other authors. He is impassioned, does not shy away from relatives, and can always point out an article "The good is good, and the disadvantages are there". At that time, I quietly gave Brother Wenjiang the nickname "Wenxia".
Later, as my relationship with Brother Wenjiang deepened, I knew that he had set up a comment platform called "Red Pen" since 2014. Ten years is not a short time, enough to know a person, and enough to observe a platform. As the saying goes, "text" and "pen" are a match made in heaven, "a red pen" has been sharpened for ten years, and the red pen is red, which is natural and inevitable.
Red pen".
For a person's editorial department, the platform publishes at least 5 articles per day on average. In the beginning, there was almost no financial support, it was all about feelings. In 2014, when I learned about the red pen founded by Hu Wenjiang, I had only heard about it, and it did not stir up many ripples in my heart. It's not that I'm dull, it's that in terms of what I see and feel, it's a question of how long I can hold on.
Many people may be underestimating the red pen. Hu Wenjiang, who is from the ancient city of Hebei, has the unique endurance and stubbornness of Hebei men. Later, when I came into contact with him, he often said, "I just like others to look down on me, which makes my struggle motivated." The spirit of the red pen is in the same vein as its organizer. It grows stubbornly like a weed, and the less favored it is, the more vigorous it grows.
The red pen comes from Hu Wenjiang's "occasional encounter with the wall of the mixed comment platform circle". Hu Wenjiang decided to rely on the official website of the unit where he works at Hanjiang Normal University to make a comment platform called Red Pen. "Anyone who writes seriously, has potential, and loves to write reviews can publish." "We can't let enthusiastic writers let their commentaries die for some other reason. Every time Hu Wenjiang talks about this, he has to wave his right hand, as if to catch back the "lost enthusiasm" of young critics.
It's not the lead when you start, but it's a fight of endurance and unrelenting spirit. During the epidemic, when the school was closed, some people just took advantage of this break, and Hu Wenjiangmao edited the manuscript in a small corner of the house, "The surrounding chaos does not belong to me, and editing the manuscript of the young critic brings me peace." I do it when others are resting, and I'm still doing it on other platforms for the New Year. Over the years, the red pen has thrived. He has won dozens of national and provincial honors and published tens of thousands of chapters. By what? Hu Wenjiang and the red pen are integrated into one "spirit".
Supporting those who come after you.
Why do you need a red pen? Hu Wenjiang's answer is that it is too difficult to publish the comments of the first writers. There are also some platforms that are very tolerant of first-time writers. However, after the first two articles are published, the platform's publication requirements will also increase. As a result, some first-writers were rejected. And then there is "no writing" and "premature death".
Of course, there are also some first-time reviewers, because they have good skills and are good at communication, and they can also get through the "** period of writing reviews and publishing". But there are too few such people. And Hu Wenjiang's red pen is to help "comment on the first writers, let them have a platform to publish, accumulate confidence, and let them smoothly pass the first period of writing".
Nowadays, the students of Hanjiang Normal University who comment on their works on the red pen are emerging one after another. The platform is getting better and better, and the popularity and hardcore of the platform are constantly improving. With a number of well-known domestic commentators such as Deng Haijian, Hu Xinhong, and Li Qiang settled in the red pen, the student author "Recruit Egg" published his works on the red pen, "to be able to be proud on the same screen with the big bulls".
At Hanjiang Normal University, there is a classic saying. "Graduating from Hangang Normal College without commenting on a red pen is an incomplete university experience." Over the years, the red pen has crossed the land of Jingchu and has become the most well-known comment platform for domestic universities, attracting many domestic college students to submit and publish. The red pen platform is becoming more and more famous, and its intention of "supporting latecomers" has never changed. "New reviewers, help them on horses, accompany them on the gallop, give them heaven and earth". One day they won't need a red pen, and that's our greatest achievement, Hu Wenjiang said.
I would also like to talk about how Professor Hu Wenjiang "supported me as a latecomer". I went to Hanjiang Normal University in 2017. At that time, Hu Wenjiang had already done a good job in online ideological and political education. After returning to Hangzhou, I began to "follow the footprints of Professor Hu Wenjiang's online education".
I do short practice and research, I try to take students to write comments to expand their thinking, and I elevate influential news to the level of online culture education, all of which have been inspired and supported by Professor Hu Wenjiang. My "Dugu Nine Swords" on the creation of short ** was first published in red pen. Later, I became the sixth batch of online education teachers of the Ministry of Education, and Hu Wenjiang was the second batch of online education teachers of the Ministry of Education.
The original intention will not fade.
In 2024, the red pen will usher in its "tenth anniversary". And Hu Wenjiang has gone from being strong in blood when it was first held to a middle-aged uncle who walks steadily and gently. However, getting older doesn't mean being conservative or following suit.
During this time, Red Pen invited Deng Haijian, Hu Xinhong, Ran Biao, Li Qiang and other celebrities, as well as Wu Jiajia and other industry professionals to give online classes for college students across the country. Since the autumn semester of last year, the red pen has set up a "commentary and writing literacy class" at Hanjiang Normal University, and although Hu Wenjiang is on temporary duty in the provincial capital, he has traveled tirelessly and long distances to return to Hanjiang Normal University on weekends to organize a commentary writing class. Many commentators either went in person or poured their money into each other, and Hu Wenjiang's careful organization was indispensable behind it. While continuing to do red pen editing, while teaching or organizing in person, students learn ** and have a platform to help, but behind it is tired of Mr. Hu Wenjiang. Sometimes the publication location shown on the red pen ** is in Hubei**, sometimes it is displayed in the high-speed rail station, and sometimes it is displayed in the Provincial Federation of Social Sciences Building. "You work hard, you do it like a young man," someone couldn't help but sigh when they saw Hu Wenjiang. Hu Wenjiang knows that "the original intention of running a red pen has not faded at all."
Over the years, the "red" of the red pen has been the best thing to do. Over the years, the "spicy" of the red pen has been as always. Over the years, the "change" of the red pen has taken the lead. This year, the red pen network has been revised, which is more refreshing and energetic. There are more young authors in the red pen. And Hu Wenjiang has repeatedly innovated the language of comments, and the ** number of the red pen has also been played vigorously. "Stay close to young people, empower young people, and support young people", "Because young people represent the future", "We help young people without asking for anything in return, as long as they give back to the country and society". Hu Wenjiang said that there are fewer and fewer comment platforms now, but the banner of the red pen will definitely continue to flutter in the wind, "because the hearts of young people are still hot."
I want to say, Lao Hu, your original intention has driven our motivation and made us feel that "no matter what, the light of Lao Hu's red pen has always been there". Since October this year, I have started the short ** shooting of the "narrative expression system", and Hu Wenjiang's red pen has always "given me a platform and promoted it", allowing it to pass the "lack of interest period" in the early stage of production, and these series have now brought me a lot of attention and a lot of encouragement.
Last night, my new narrative expression** was completed at 11 o'clock in the evening, and I asked "Brother Wenjiang, did you sleep" on WeChat with the attitude of trying it out. And Brother Wenjiang replied in seconds, "**Send it, I will upload it immediately". I instantly felt a stir in my heart, "Passion is treated with enthusiasm, and creators are not disappointed, this is what the red pen is for us." "Treasure boy Hu Wenjiang, thank you, fortunately there is a red pen.
