Recently, there was an argument in the cultural circle of China. The focus of the debate is: Do writers need to go to college first? Around this issue, there are two opposing views: one is that if you want to be a writer, you should not go to college; Another point of view is that if you want to be an excellent writer, you should get a college education. I think the above two views have gone to extremes, and their argument is meaningless, but there is nothing to talk about. Personally, I think that being a writer, especially a good writer, is not necessarily related to going to college. Whether a person can become a writer depends on whether he or she has the talent to become a writer in his or her genes. With talent, even if you can't get into college, you can become a writer as long as you have a rich life and make some efforts. Gorky never went to college. Can we say that he is not a writer? His novel My University is actually about his wandering life, which is very vivid and profound! Of course, I don't agree with the statement that "universities will destroy writers". University experience is also a kind of life, and life is an indispensable factor in literary creation. Mr Wen Yiduo went to university: after studying in Tsinghua, he went to many universities in the United States for further study. In his short life, he wrote many famous works. Who can say that this writer and poet was ruined by college education? In my opinion, whether Gorky or Wen Yiduo, the decisive factor for them to become writers is not whether they went to college, but whether they have this special talent factor in their genes, whether they have a profound life experience and have a special interest in writing at the same time. That's the point.
