According to the video, the online novel Don't Shake Style mainly tells the story of a woman who spontaneously went undercover to avenge her boyfriend, fell in love with a drug Lord and sent her to prison. After reading it, some fans posted comments on social platforms to denigrate the anti-drug police, which made love too uncomfortable.
* * * The Central Committee of the Communist Youth League issued a document continuously: Don't let the anti-drug hero bleed and feel cold.
With the fermentation of the incident, on June 5, 65438, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League commented on the novel continuously. "Literary creation should have a bottom line, and there should be zero tolerance for any act of whitewashing and beautifying drug dealers, and the hero of drug control should not be allowed to bleed and be chilling."
"Falling in love with drug lords and praising their love, some online literature pursues novelty, puts aside the legal and moral bottom line to beautify the image of drug traffickers and seriously distorts the values of young people. You know, drugs have plunged the Chinese nation into a century of humiliation. Nowadays, there are still many people who have given their lives for the cause of drug control, which always reminds us that the alarm bell of drug control is ringing at all times. "

The latest response of the publishing house: co-publishing with a third party has been removed.
According to Beijing Youth Daily, the reporter noticed that more than 300 people have read the novel in an e-book reading APP, and about half of them think it is "not good-looking" and "ordinary". Some netizens who have seen it commented that "every trace of beautifying sympathy for criminals is an insult to the anti-drug police and the injured. You can read novels without thinking, but you can't live without three views. " Some netizens commented, "That man is a drug dealer, friends, can anyone tolerate it? Drug dealers never deserve sympathy. " In the e-book reading APP, the novel has been removed from the shelf.
Earlier, in response to the controversy, the author of the novel "Chu He Chu" said: "The starting point of writing this novel is to pursue justice. The portrayal of Qi Cheng and Zhou Lin expresses my respect and admiration for the anti-drug police every word; I have also described the cruelty of Jingfuzhou more than once, and I have no sympathy for his death, let alone' washing white'. "

" Subsequently, the reporter of Beiqing Daily repeatedly called the editor-in-chief, but all the phones showed that they were on the phone.

media comments
The novel "amorous feelings don't shake" has been approved, and it will certainly be accused of being divorced from real creation.
On June 4th, 65438, the official blog of Sichuan Drug Rehabilitation Administration criticized the novel "Don't Shake Style", saying that literary creation should have a bottom line and resist "poison novels", which attracted the attention of netizens. On October 5th, 65438/kloc-0, the staff of the book publishing house said that books were no longer printed and sold.
At present, many online shopping platforms have been unable to find the book.
Long before the official criticism, there were many questions and criticisms about this novel on social platforms and short video platforms. According to the brief introduction of the novel, the work mainly tells the story of Anyuan, the girlfriend of Cheng Qi, an anti-drug policeman, who collected criminal evidence undercover around Jingfuzhou in order to avenge her dead boyfriend, and finally shot the drug Lord herself.
There may be no problem just reading the outline, which is the old routine of "revenge writing". However, the author used a lot of space to describe the drug Lord's deep love for women and created a person who was "cruel to the world but soft to you". Although the woman finally took revenge, she fell in love with him. It can be seen that the author gave the man the status of drug Lord only to create contrast, stimulate readers' emotions and make them happy in entanglement and pain.
This way of writing makes some young readers feel pity, distressed and reluctant for drug lords after reading this novel, and even insults and curses the anti-drug police in order to safeguard their roles, shouting that "the love of drug lords is the cleanest love". It is precisely because of these ridiculous remarks that the Sichuan Drug Rehabilitation Administration came forward to rehabilitate the anti-drug hero, reiterated the zero tolerance attitude towards drugs, and also set off a fierce criticism of the novel.
Many netizens denounced the novel's "three views are not correct" and called for it to be removed from the shelf so as not to have a bad influence on teenagers. The author of the novel insists that he respects and admires the anti-drug police, and says that "a thousand readers have a thousand Hamlets in their hearts, and it is impossible to add all the voices to the author and works". The implication is that I don't like drug lords, but I can't help it if readers want to love and like him.
This seems reasonable, but literary creation is not in a vacuum. Its appearance is based on social life, and it will also have an impact on social life, such as triggering readers' emotional fluctuations, guiding readers' value judgments, and more importantly, affecting the thinking structure of society. Therefore, good literary creation is inseparable from the sense of social responsibility and mission. When you earn the fee, you will think that the work is your own treasure, and when you are criticized, you will think that it is the reader's own misunderstanding. This creative attitude is too utilitarian and chicken thief.
The author sells his novels online.
Moreover, the reason why "Customs Never Shake" caused such strong anger and disgust was not only because of the overall "three incorrect views", but because it deviated from the truth of art. Although the truth of art is not equal to real life, it is a highly refined "real life", that is to say, it is indeed a fictional art, but works of art cannot be divorced from real life. The creative subject should have real life experience and sincere emotional attitude, and his fiction and imagination should adapt to the psychological acceptance of most people.
In Don't Shake Style, the woman's boyfriend was brutally killed by a drug Lord, and her parents died because of drug-related, but she still loved the murderer and even tried to persuade him to wash his hands and live a quiet life together. Finally, in order to meet the demands of drug lords, she even ignored the law and lynched the police to take action. Such a protagonist, such a plot, obviously does not meet the demands of society for justice and conscience, deviates from people's beautiful yearning for love and affection, and deviates from the basic laws of life, so it will make readers feel seriously uncomfortable and feel that their feelings and values have been offended. But this deformed love is described by the author as sad, helpless and tangled.
Of course, we can't deny that there may be abnormal and morbid feelings in reality, but it is undoubtedly "toxic" to present abnormal and morbid feelings and behaviors in a normal way, or even beautify them with the filter of "true love is innocent".
Some inappropriate remarks by readers were exposed.
Literature, like other art forms, needs a certain aesthetic threshold. However, the rapid development of online writing has lowered the threshold of literary creation and the average quality of creation. Although there are some excellent works, most of them are fast food, which is a tool for the platform to earn clicks. Many online novels are poorly written and lack of aesthetics. They aim at attracting readers' attention and are divorced from reality, reality and the bottom line.
However, in the current creative environment, there are almost no literary comments to discuss and guide online reading, because many works do not have the artistic value of discussion, just like commodities, with the superficial and emotional reading evaluation of netizens as the only criterion of "good or bad". In this way, writers are easily carried away by fans, lost in the whirlpool of traffic, deliberately catering to readers to earn commercial interests, and accumulating a lot of "text garbage."
According to statistics, there are currently about 30 million online literary works with about 500 million readers. Teenagers are the largest group of readers of online literary works. However, the content-oriented deviation, vulgarity, pornography and violence in online literary works seriously affect the healthy growth of teenagers. Some readers are "distressed by drug lords", which is a typical example.
Obviously, it is impossible to solve the fundamental problem simply by scolding a problematic work on the hot search and immediately taking it off the shelf. Why such works that deviate from the truth, offend readers and blaspheme heroes can pass the platform review and why they can be published is the most concerned issue.
In the long run, if literature wants to develop healthily and produce more excellent products, it is urgent to establish a perfect evaluation system and standards, give professional literary criticism a violent and clear direction, guide rectification, strengthen a long-term supervision mechanism, and clarify the bottom line. It is not allowed to blindly pursue "cool" and cater to the audience and become the "popular secret" of fast food literature, so that literary creation, whether paper or online, will return to ideological and artistic measurement and discussion and form an initiative.
