Past years
Young writer Zhuang Yu's latest novel "past years" was published by Wenhui Publishing House recently. The novel tells the story of Li Chunchun, a woman who is tired of her "good qualities". Yesterday, Zhuang Yu said in an interview that the protagonist Li Chunchun does have her shadow, but in the process of writing, she has weakened her shadow. I hope readers can find her shadow in Li Chunchun after reading this story.
This past year tells the story of Li Chunchun's life in the emotional column of the newspaper. She is tired of her "good quality". Because of her responsibility, she is a tired model worker who works 360 days a year, but the promotion she gets is the result of a transaction. Because of her deep love, she has been trapped in an unclear "admiration" unrequited love for many years and wasted a good time. Because of her kindness, she has been involved in the emotional disputes of her relatives and friends again and again, but has been ridiculed again and again Laugh. This beautiful and successful single woman is often tired, confused and even desperate in her heart.
inspiration source
Zhuang Yu said that this story was created because she and the people around her were confused about life. "One day I found that I was living in an environment full of complaints. The feelings of maintaining interpersonal communication became fragile, the sense of trust between people was completely lost, and my life became colder and colder. I can't help but assume that Li Chunchun, a person who can satisfy all our expectations of "good people", is willing to take anything from anyone. At the same time, I also write about the troubles of the "good man" and try to write about the hidden pain in our hearts. I don't know if it's going to make people forgive each other. "
Zhuang Yu was once a media practitioner, and Li Chunchun, the hero of the novel, also worked in the media. Some readers think that Li Chunchun's life is what Zhuang Yu experienced. In this regard, Zhuang Yu said that the novelist always unconsciously gives his own shadow to the characters. "I don't rule out that Li Chunchun has my shadow, but I have tried to play it down. Li Chunchun is a fictional character, and her story is basically fictional, but I believe that these life-oriented plots must be staged in different places and different Li Chunchun every day. ". Zhuang Yu said that she wanted to tell readers through Li Chunchun's story how difficult and hard it is to be a good person. "But you can also see how lovely such a person is in the eyes of the people around him. Do you want to be a person like Li Chunchun, or do you want to keep the beauty of Li Chunchun selectively? "
From "inside and outside the circle" to "marriage everywhere" and then to "Happy Hotel", Zhuang Yu basically keeps the rhythm of writing a long novel every two years. In her view, writing is a very difficult thing, to bear a lot of things, "lonely, boring, and the kind of suffering of meditation, so, for writers, the most important thing is actually to adhere to.". Some people say that after being plagiarized, Zhuang Yu became famous. Zhuang Yu doesn't agree with this view: "I think if you like this profession and do it, and then you insist on it, maybe 10 or 20 years later, when you look back, maybe it's not too late for others to know you and understand you."
Works should embody life
Zhuang Yu said that she likes all sincere works. "The so-called sincerity is something that has a special sense of life, a clear expression, and a special beauty. There is no sense of affectation in reading it. I don't like works that add too much personal emotion. " In the process of writing, Zhuang Yu has been pursuing to show the quality of life, "it is not necessarily a thing of life flow, but it must be living.". I don't know how far away I am from that standard, but with the passage of time and the growth of my experience, I will be able to express life more accurately than I am now. Zhuang Yu has now given up his career as a journalist and devoted himself to writing. "Originally, writing was just a simple way for me to seek expression. When I gave up my career as a journalist and focused on this matter, it added another meaning -- to make a living.".
Plagiarism dispute
Event details
Her work "inside and outside the circle" was once said to have been plagiarized by Guo Jingming and written as "how many flowers fall in a dream". Zhuang Yu filed a lawsuit to the court and won the trial.
Suing Guo for plagiarism
In December 2003, Zhuang Yu filed a lawsuit with a Beijing Municipal People's court, claiming that Guo Jingming's book "how many flowers fall in a dream" had plagiarized his book "inside and outside the circle". Subsequently, the first court of Beijing Municipal People's Court of first instance ruled that dream plagiarized the original relationship between characters in circle, resulting in the substantial similarity between dream and circle as a whole. Guo Jingming was dissatisfied with the appeal.
On May 22, 2006, the Beijing Higher People's court made a final judgment, rejecting Guo Jingming's appeal, and ordered Guo Jingming and the publisher to compensate Zhuang Yu for the economic loss of 200000 yuan. Meanwhile, Chunfeng Literature and Art Publishing House and Beijing Book Building were also ordered to stop publishing and selling dream. The final judgment also required Guo Jingming and the publishing house to make a public apology in China Youth Daily on the 15th. At the same time, in order to "punish" his behavior, he was sentenced to compensate Zhuang Yu with 10000 yuan of spiritual solace.
judgment
Civil judgment of Beijing Higher People's court in the case of Zhuang Yu v. Guo Jingming's infringement of copyright
The trial found that: on August 14, 2002, Zhuang Yu published the novel "inside and outside the circle" under the pen name of "pig making a wish" on Tianya community website. In February 2003, "circle" was published by China Federation of literary and art publishing house with the signature of "Zhuang Yu". "Circle" takes the emotional experience of the protagonist Chu Xiao, his current boyfriend Gao Yuan and former boyfriend Zhang Xiaobei as the main line. It describes the love life and conflicts between Chu Xiao and Gao Yuan, as well as the emotional entanglement between Chu Xiao and Zhang Xiaobei. It also describes the marriage life of Chu Xiao's friend Li Qiong and Zhang Xiaobei, as well as the extramarital affair between Zhang Xiaobei and his lover Zhang Mengmeng, Gao Yuan and Zhang Xiaobei Meng Meng's sexual relationship and cooperative filming.
On August 19, 2003, Guo Jingming, as Party A, entered into a book publishing contract with Chunfeng publishing house, as Party B, for the publication of Guo Jingming's dream. Article 11 of the contract stipulates that Party B shall pay Party A remuneration in the form of royalties, which shall be calculated as follows: Book Pricing × 10% of the edition tax rate × 100000 copies printed. In November 2003, Chunfeng Publishing House published Guo Jingming's dream. The copyright page of the book has the words "Guo Jingming, Chunfeng Literature and Art Publishing House, first edition in November 2003, first printing in November 2003", etc. The main line of dream is Lin Lan's emotional experience with her current boyfriend Lu Xu and former boyfriend Gu Xiaobei. While describing the love life and conflicts between Lin Lan and Lu Xu, it alternately describes Lin Lan's emotional entanglement with Gu Xiaobei, Gu Xiaobei's emotional experience with his current girlfriend Yao Shanshan, the friendship between Lin Lan, Wen Jing, Wei Wei and match, and their conflicts with Li Molly .
analysis
The court held that:
As to whether Guo Jingming's novel Dream plagiarizes Zhuang Yu's work circle, we should first compare some of the contents of the two works with Zhuang Yu's accusations.
As for the part of "main plot infringement facts", Zhuang Yu's summary of the corresponding contents of the two works is not completely accurate: for example, Zhuang Yu thinks that in the circle, there is a plot that "Gao Yuanyin quarrels with chuxiao, which leads to the fracture of chuxiao"; in the dream, there is a plot that "Lu Xu quarrels with Lin Lan, which pushes Lin Lan down the stairs, which leads to the fracture of Lin Lan" (see Section 2 of Schedule 1). But the actual description in the circle is: Gao Yuan shakes his arm, Chu Xiao is startled, steps back, steps on the coke bottle, falls to the ground, causing fracture. The actual description in dream is that Lu Xu shakes his hand and Lin Lan rolls down the stairs, resulting in fracture. It can be seen that the fracture of the heroine in the two works is not caused by the hero's "pushing". Zhuang Yu's generalization is not accurate and subjective. But on the whole, the 12 main plots listed in Schedule 1 are basically consistent with the description in the original. Referring to the contents of Schedule 1, after comparing the corresponding plots in the two works involved in the case, it can be concluded that the above 12 main plots are obviously similar. Zhang Meng, for example, doesn't deliberately ask Qian Xiaochu for help in the first plot. Accordingly, the plot development and ending in dream are the same as those in circle. The court does not support Guo Jingming's proposition that the above plot is not original and the expression of the plot is completely different.
