1995年8月,我奉命兼任《萌芽》杂志主编。那时候,文学已经走入社会边缘,众多文学刊物销量剧减,曾经有过的发行几十万份的风光变成了遥远的、梦幻似的回忆。创刊40年的、具有全国影响的《萌芽》也只能发行1万多册。这个发行量在文学杂志中还算是不错的业绩,但对于一本自负盈亏的杂志来说,绝对无法维持正常运转。就像濒临破产的企业,每个月都要为下个月 August 1995, I was ordered to serve as “Bud” magazine editor. At that time, literature had entered the margins of society. The sales volume of many literary publications drastically dropped. Hundreds of thousands of copies of the scenery once issued had turned out to be distant and fantastic reminiscences. The first publication of 40 years, with the national impact of the “sprout” can only issue more than 10,000 copies. This circulation is still a good performance in the literary magazine, but for a self-financing magazine, absolutely can not maintain normal operation. Like a bankrupt company, every month for next month
