I’ve got it all ready for you~~~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, how much?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"25 yuan and 40 cents, just give me 25.4!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"25! I’ll make up the change next time~~~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Bao'er threw down the money, hugged the stack of newspapers and magazines, and ran back. When she got home, she rushed into the living room and casually divided the newspapers into two piles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad, half for you, the rest is mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan’s father looked at the huge stack in front of him with a headache and couldn't help but shake his head and smile: \"So many, how can I finish reading them? I only read two of yesterday’s papers...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, you have plenty of time, so just read them slowly~~~ I don't care, I spent 25.4 today, you have to reimburse me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan’s father chuckled: \"Read slowly about how the media is criticizing him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hateful!\" Wan Bao'er was furious, \"You’re doing this on purpose to make me mad!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My mistake, my mistake.\" Wan’s father surrendered immediately, rubbing his forehead and smiling bitterly, \"Then you know they’re all scolding him, why do you have to buy so many? Wouldn't it be enough to just buy the Beijing Youth Daily?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't care, I just want to stand with him and face it together! Anyway, you have to pay for the newspapers!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, fine, I’ll pay, I’ll pay. Here’s another 50 yuan, that should be enough for tomorrow, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan’s father waited for a long time without getting a response. He turned his head and saw, good heavens, his daughter was already immersed in the Beijing Youth Daily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, a grown daughter can't be kept...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muttering sourly, he simply found a newspaper featuring Han Han and started reading it half-heartedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no opinion on Han Han, but he wasn't particularly curious either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the years, he had seen too many young prodigies and monsters, but if you lengthen the observation time... they were all just so-so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their generation of children mostly only respected their elders and had very high standards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the article \"The Universe Is Not Yet Settled\" reprinted in the Guangming Daily did pique his interest—\"whether you are or not is up to you\"? A bit of bandit spirit, rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan’s father, who had been somewhat indifferent, found himself involuntarily drawn in as he read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't until his mother called the two of them to eat that Wan Bao'er became lively again, and he woke up with a start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoa?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't just a little interesting. Aside from a pure youthful perspective, Han Han could actually look at things from this height?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not easy...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Bao'er was also in high spirits, chattering away and discussing it with her father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad, what kind of person do you think Han Han is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mother glared at her: \"Han Han this, Han Han that, all you know is Han Han! Look at how arrogant he is; what’s the difference between him and those South Korean sticks?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those are idol boy groups, bringing strength to people with music. How are they sticks?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arguing back, Wan Bao'er suddenly changed her tune: \"Forget it, their musical level is indeed not on the same level as Han Han’s literary talent, so let them be sticks, but you can’t scold my Brother Han!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoa? Changed your tune?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan’s mother widened her eyes, feeling it was very incredible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn't you like that HOT thing the most before? You pasted them all over the wall and wouldn't allow me to criticize them at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When was that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Bao'er denied it flatly: \"You’re slandering me! That was just a poster a good friend gave me. I couldn't hurt her feelings, so I just pasted it for a while out of courtesy. My true heart can only belong to Brother Han!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan’s mother was so angry that she opened her mouth to scold her again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Wan family, she had always played a strict role, paying great attention to Wan Bao'er’s education and discipline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before she could speak, she was stopped by the \"daughter slave\" on the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop, stop, stop. You, you should also pay attention to your educational methods in the future. Han Han’s essay is written very well and correctly in a sense. Bao'er is a grown girl now, she understands many things. You can reason with her; she will listen to the right things. You can’t just criticize without encouragement; that’s not good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Bao'er happily hugged her father and stuck her neck out at her mother: \"Hmph! See that? People who can do big things have a different breadth of mind!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mother laughed in anger, poking her little head: \"Fine, fine, I have no breadth of mind, and punishing you before was all to bite you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just from this sentence, one could tell that she had actually read Han Han’s \"Knowing but Not Following.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s not it.\" Wan Bao'er took it well and smiled, \"I know you’re doing it for my own good. You and Dad have given me a lot of love, but I’m also at the age where I have my own thoughts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan’s father smiled and smoothed things over, following his daughter’s lead completely: \"Han Han’s essay does indeed have positive significance for teenagers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Being too rebellious is of course not okay, but not yielding is a very good quality. Nothing is more important than a resilient heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Han Han has the backbone of your grandfather’s generation. I can understand you worshiping him, and I’m willing to accept it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, the real meaning was: I don't understand or accept you worshiping those South Korean sticks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had said this many times before, but unfortunately, it didn't work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today was different. Wan Bao'er nodded obediently: \"Mm-hmm, I know! I won't do it again in the future, I promise!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mother’s brow didn't relax; it was clear she was still unhappy inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you can’t chase stars, especially Han Han. His personality is too...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Wan Bao'er was particularly clever and didn't let her mother finish. She ran back to the living room, grabbed the Beijing Youth Daily, ran back, and smiled flatteringly: \"Mom and Dad, shall I read Han Han’s new article to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The couple looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Bao'er didn't wait for their consent and began to read \"The Small-Town Test-Taker\" with great emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first part of this article was mostly about a class perspective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is: how I, from a poor small town, once viewed the world, and what kind of impact I received after bravely walking out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Wudang to Shanghai, first accepting the stillness of Daoism, then feeling the prosperity of the magic city, and finally returning to the small town, stillness and prosperity took root in the barren depths of the soul at the same time. The adolescent restlessness that once couldn't find an outlet suddenly irrigated a small flower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green branches stretched upward, the flowers bloomed brightly and fragrantly, while the silent roots dug deeper and deeper into the dark soil...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The text, no longer full of hostility, was full of imagistic hints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Han didn't directly write out any possibilities, but the three symbols of branches, flowers, and roots, as well as the dynamic changes resulting from them, were enough to make people imagine any possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are the branches the vitality of youth?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are the flowers the blooming of effort?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is the root of silence the original heart?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be, but not necessarily only that, and it might even not be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Han’s writing was no longer as clear and fierce as \"Knowing but Not Following.\" His desire to walk out of the small town was strong, but the ending he pointed to wasn't becoming stronger, smashing something, or how glorious he was, but a slightly illusory \"being faithful to oneself and clarifying the original heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the surface, it didn't look fierce or cool at all, but it was elevated to extreme firmness in the last sentence, \"I choose to take the test.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Bao'er saw the mountain as a mountain and only felt a kind of upward, vigorous spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What her mother saw was the older generation walking out of the mountains barefoot, carrying their heads and bathing in blood, with the most tenacious will to grow, finally blooming their lives into brilliant red flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And from the perspective of Wan’s father, he associated it with more and higher things...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From nothing to the current blooming wealth, but the flowers attract bees and butterflies, the branches are overwhelmed, the soil where the roots are is barren and urgently needs irrigation, and the root system itself also has some...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, none of them experienced the stillness of Daoism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stillness of the root and the movement of life are opposite yet unified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless one has experienced a great awakening between life and death, it is difficult to understand that contradictory philosophy of quietly lurking in the dark and desperately absorbing in the barrenness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life and death, yin and yang, movement and stillness—the essence is too metaphysical; it can only be understood intuitively and is hard to express.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when Wan Bao'er finally read the lyrical passage that elevated the main theme, the couple, immersed in thought, were stabbed in the chest without any defense, their whole bodies shivering, from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone’s ultimate mission is to find themselves and then be sincerely faithful to themselves. We are not trying to escape this homeland, but need to hit the road, see different scenery, use a broader world to refine the soul, change from hating everything to loving everything, from disdaining everything to respecting everything, and finally happily discover—this world is not what I imagined in my youth, but I still love it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until Wan Bao'er’s voice faded, Wan’s mother still felt it was incredible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did Han Han really write this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm-hmm! Otherwise who?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good!\" Wan’s father couldn't help but raise his volume, \"It wrote out the height and the thickness. Amazing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan’s mother suddenly felt a strong sense of melancholy and looked out the window blankly: \"We are also about to leave this homeland, but we are not escaping, we are just... in short, it’s really hard to part with...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wan family had decided to move to Hong Kong and send Wan Bao'er abroad to study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of the reason, leaving the hometown where they were born and raised, which carried decades of heavy memories, was bound to be sad and bound to be uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, hearing such sentences, she was truly filled with mixed feelings, coming from the heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was high synchronization, and it was just the right time, fitting the meaning perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It might sound like a vague exposition to others, but to the right people, it was the finishing touch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is indeed an excellent article. Han Han’s spiritual world is big and beautiful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just an instant, Wan’s mother’s view of Han Han turned from negative to positive, and her favorability soared to a fairly high position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being understood, being touched, and being comforted by words was truly a rare happiness and fullness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to that, things like wanting to break his father’s legs or scolding media scum didn't really count as anything in the eyes of someone at her level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She decisively changed her tune, her attitude doing a 180-degree turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aside from being slightly extreme, Little Han is indeed very spirited in his bones. Your generation is all little ancestors and big treasures, who have never suffered any hardships, all pampered and spoiled, which is very inappropriate. Since you like him, you should learn more from him and stop being so unfocused...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Bao'er exclaimed: \"It’s rare to see you praise anyone! Then we are on the same side! Come on, follow me and join the great Han Fan organization!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Question marks appeared on the heads of Wan’s father and mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Fan? Organization?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is this all about?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Tianjin, on the way to dance class, Mao Xiaotong bought a copy of the Beijing Youth Daily from a newsstand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't have time to look closely, but she flipped through it roughly and saw that the entire page 13 was Han Han’s new article, and there was a new photo of him on the color page of page 12, so she was overjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, great!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mao Xiaotong was extremely satisfied with today’s newspaper, holding it carefully in her arms and happily going to the practice room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she arrived at the class, two girls who were chatting saw the newspaper in her hand and surrounded her with a \"wow\": \"Xiaotong, you bought the Beijing Youth Daily too? Do you want the color page in the middle?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mao Xiaotong’s fur stood up, and she protected the newspaper behind her: \"Of course I want it! What do you want to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I don't want to do anything...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the classmates was frightened by her, pouting and muttering weakly: \"If you don't give it, you don't give it, why are you in such a hurry...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other one’s eyes lit up and she asked excitedly: \"Do you like Han Han too? Right? Oh, then we are fellow Han Fans!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Han Fan?\" Mao Xiaotong was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jingjing nodded frantically: \"Yeah, yeah, Han Han’s fans, abbreviated as Han Fans on Tianya!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tianya? Fans?\" The poor student didn't understand and didn't understand at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s Fans, F, A, N, S, an English word, meaning fanatical enthusiasts, the guardian group of an idol!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jingjing was extremely proud, as if announcing a huge thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Mao Xiaotong was indeed very interested, muttering it several times, and the more she read it, the better it sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Han Fans? Of course I am. I’ve liked him since May.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I’m earlier!\" Another girl, Wang Yutang, leaned over and announced proudly, \"I started liking him from the cover of 'Sprout' in April!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mao Xiaotong felt a bit uncomfortable inside and snorted coldly: \"At that time, his first article hadn't even been published. What did you like about him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Handsome! He’s so handsome I’m dizzy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yutang was so frank that Mao Xiaotong was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little girls in this era... no, little girls in any era, all like handsome stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you ask them to appreciate Wang Baoqiang’s great performance in \"Mr. Tree,\" that’s purely making things difficult for them, but if you ask them which star is handsome, they can list them like family treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is no need to blame them for this; 99% of young girls have gone through this stage. The earlier Zhu Shimao, the even earlier Tang Guoqiang, and even going back to Pan An, have all been the dream lovers of a generation of young girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Mao Xiaotong was one of the very few exceptions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, she didn't like that face; she had a natural vigilance toward men who were too handsome. It wasn't until she drew great courage and strength from \"Knowing but Not Following\" that she began to worship Han Han more fanatically than anyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, seeing that Liu Jingjing and Wang Yutang only liked Han Han’s handsomeness, she felt indignant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Handsomeness is just Han Han’s most insignificant advantage. You should pay attention to his talent!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am paying attention! I read every issue of the Beijing Youth Daily.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then where is your newspaper?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I put it back on the newsstand after reading it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The previous issues didn't have photos of Han Han, so why would I buy them? Because I like Han Han, my mom doesn't give me pocket money anymore, so I’m saving my remaining small treasury to buy Han Han’s first book.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yutang’s eloquent response left Mao Xiaotong completely confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She discovered that her worship of Han Han seemed to be on another level—she not only bought the Beijing Youth Daily but also planned to go elsewhere to collect all the newspapers and magazines that featured Han Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she was more interested in that book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where did you get the information? Han Han is going to publish a book?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Xinmin Evening News said so!\" Liu Jingjing snatched the answer, \"That report mentioned that Han Han is writing his first long novel, it’s a novel!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yutang added: \"And there’s more, the Xinmin News has already made an appointment with Han Han for a new exclusive interview!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mao Xiaotong kept both things in her heart and made up her mind to start saving money from now on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can’t lose to Wang Yutang, absolutely not!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yutang, Wan Bao'er, and Mao Xiaotong represented three types of classic Han Fans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first type: because parents dislike Han Han, their liking is not accepted by adults and can only be hidden in the dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This situation is probably the mainstream, because Han Han’s reputation now... hehehe!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problem isn't big; it’s not worse than HOT, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uh, it seems hard to say...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second type: catalyzed by his works, their worship of Han Han is finally tacitly approved or even supported by their parents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many parents suddenly realize that Han Han is actually really top-notch in other aspects, aside from his slightly wild personality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only are the three interview drafts talked about with relish, but \"The Small-Town Test-Taker\" also combines beauty and righteousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s understandable that children like Han Han, and it’s not necessarily a bad thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the behavior of chasing Han Han became legalized in some families, and many Han Fans gained a loose space, allowing them to declare their love openly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some enlightened parents are even willing to talk to their children about Han Han’s works and personality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This greatly expanded the total number of fans of Idol Han and enriched his fan composition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although those middle-aged parents generally only have a shallow favor and it is difficult to continue to upgrade, their value was never to provide star value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their existence is to provide economic support for young Han Fans, raising the overall consumption power of Han Fans by several times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Han Han finally had the capital to publish independently and sell well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third type of Han Fan, represented by Mao Xiaotong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn't get support from their families because they were all children who had been hurt, hiding their worries and rarely talking to others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They worshiped Han Han independently and stubbornly; they might be financially strapped, but they were firm in their will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of Han Han’s existing fanatical fans basically came from this group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the same article and report, a first-level shallow fan only provides 1 point of star value, but they can provide 15 to 50 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides that, they were also the most solid fortress when the giant waves crashed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the iron wall doesn't break, then no matter what kind of blow Han Han receives, there will always be a chance for a comeback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first type of \"looks\" fans and middle-aged shallow fans are like duckweed—fickle, impulsive, and unable to withstand pressure. Their huge numbers are like flowers that could be blown away by a strong wind at any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter two types of fans combined are the ones who truly and steadily built a basic foundation for Han Han, allowing him to stand in the wind and waves and fish with peace of mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if what you catch is a shark, you have to bite each other twice to know who is upstream in the food chain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, a mere negative black tide on the way... just come and try it. ===== CHAPTER 44 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",3336,"2026-06-17T13:04:52.661Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","51d197c77cd3f6463451e1e8efc651e9956ecb12ec73ecc3b85049d83b9aaf58","gen-z-artist-chapter-44","gen-z-artist-chapter-42",150,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgen-z-artist-cover.jpg"]
