Chapter 108 After winning the award ceremony, the country also began to announce...
After winning the award, the country also began to promote this author. It was another honor and a national glory...
Some newspapers would also mention Li Daohua, saying that after Li Daohua, domestic literature has been increasingly valued by foreigners.
Li Daohua was also trying to find out about this author. She had never heard of this author, whether before or after the time travel. This shouldn’t have happened.
Although she was not a well-read person before she traveled through time, she had read one or two of the more famous works by many authors, although she had not read all of them.
Not to mention that more and more adapted works appeared later, promoting the authors of this era again. Logically, she should have heard of them.
Liu Mei, this year's Nobel Prize winner, won the award-winning work "Little Notes on Life".
Not to mention, it’s really hard to buy. Every year’s works of Nobel Prize winners are hard to buy. Fortunately, Li Daohua has a special channel, and someone gave her "Little Notes on Life", and not just one person.
Li Daohua read through the entire article at a glance and had countless things to complain about.
The newspapers were full of praise for Liu Mei, as if anyone who cursed him would be a sinner of the country and the nation.
Li Daohua did not say anything, but took a few people and traveled thousands of miles to the place where Liu Mei mentioned that she went to the countryside in her "Life Notes".
Liu Mei went to the countryside after he was admitted to university. The place he went to was a small mountain village in Qin Province.
In October, Qin Province was bare everywhere. Cars passed by, stirring up a cloud of yellow soil. There were also carts pulled by oxen and mules on the roadside.
Because the terrain is mountainous, bicycles are not even as convenient as ox carts or mule carts, especially when going uphill.
Li Daohua and his friends were driving up the mountain, but the car was bumpy and they couldn't go fast.
It was not easy to finally reach the place where Liu Mei had originally gone to the countryside. To be honest, the village was indeed shabby.
It was ten years ago that Liu Mei went to the countryside, and in these ten years, the village has hardly changed. They also didn't know that Liu Mei, who had gone to the countryside with them, had won the Nobel Prize.
When Li Daohua asked about Liu Mei, the villagers were impressed by him.
After Liu Mei went to the countryside, he did not have a good reputation in their village. He was unwilling to work and was always sarcastic to the villagers.
Among the educated youth who came to the countryside, Liu Mei had the worst relationship with the villagers. When the villagers helped him, he didn't even get a thank you. Instead, they felt that it was what the villagers should do.
The houses at the educated youth settlement were not as shabby as Liu Mei wrote in "Notes on Life". On the contrary, the houses at the educated youth settlement were considered relatively good houses in the village, as the houses of the villagers were even more shabby.
"They are all educated people. How can we let them suffer any injustice when they come to our place? It is good to be educated. If it were not for these educated youth, it would be even more difficult for the children in our village to go to school."
Not only that, Li Daohua also saw a group photo of Liu Mei and several other educated youths on the table at the educated youth site.
In the group photo, there is no trace of Liu Mei’s image in “Life Diary” where she was persecuted, targeted by villagers, so poor that she had to eat dirt, and had a pale and thin face.
On the contrary, in the group photo, Liu Mei looked the best, leaning against a bicycle, wearing a clean white shirt, round-frame glasses, and two pens on her chest.
The other educated youth had patches on their clothes, but his clothes were the only ones without patches. He was able to ride a bicycle when he went to the countryside, and his clothes were so good, which showed that his family conditions were really good.
What he said in the newspaper that "Short Notes on Life" was a true record based on what he saw and encountered when he went to the countryside was a complete lie.
Li Daohua and the people who came with her took pictures of all of this. Even so, Li Daohua did not publish an article criticizing it. After all, it is understandable that one wants to make money by writing novels in this way.
Just when Liu Mei was being widely promoted in China, this year's Nobel Prize was also jointly won by two people, the other person was Brullient.
After Brullient won the award, Ian called Li Daohua and said that the Nobel Prize wanted to invite Brullient to attend the award ceremony, but he couldn't find his contact information.
"Your friend has caught their eye now. They want to portray your friend as a hero who speaks out bravely, a friend of the wandering people, the conscience of mankind, and a messenger of peace..."
Li Daohua didn't know that during this period, the Bedi Group was really bold in boasting and had really put in the effort to even win the Nobel Prize.
"Um... the other party authorized you to receive the award on her behalf." This is her pseudonym, and she doesn't plan to make it public.
"He won't even go for the Nobel Prize? So indifferent to fame and fortune? You need a letter of authorization for authorization." They are professionals, not the kind of people who do small things.
"Yes, I'll fax it to you later." There are three copies, one for each person, plus a notarized copy, and it's in both Chinese and English.
As her exclusive translator, Li naturally knew about this small account.
When he saw the Chinese signature, Ian knew that this was also Li Daohua, but he couldn't see the English signature.
Li Daohua's previous pen name was in Chinese, even when signing an English contract. At most, he would add a capital R after the pen name, which was already very respectful.
Li Daohua actually wrote down this English pen name in full. Oh my God, she was so serious. She even wrote it very beautifully, which was very touching. She must have practiced it seriously.
"So why did you come up with this pen name? Do you know how difficult it is to start from scratch?"
"It wasn't that difficult, was it?"
Okay, you are awesome, you have the final say. Ian was really convinced. He really didn’t understand why Li Daohua did this and even asked him to receive the award.
"Well, if I wrote it, would they still help promote it so hard?"
"Of course not." Ian also knew that even though the Nobel Prize gave Li Daohua enough face, those people really hated Li Daohua.
If "Love You" had been published directly under the pen name Li Daohua, not only would it have gained fame and fortune like it does now, but the first step of publishing would have been stillborn.
"That's great. I haven't received a Nobel Prize yet. Oh, and you still need to write an acceptance speech. Remember to write it for me... Or I can help you prepare the acceptance speech."
Thinking of Li Daohua's past achievements, Ian was a little hesitant.
"Of course I have to write it myself. Don't worry about it. I'll give it to you in November. It won't delay you from receiving the award."
In December, Li Daohua, a former Nobel Prize winner, was also invited to attend the award ceremony. This year, there were two writers from China who were nominated for the Nobel Prize.
The winners of the previous session and this session's winners are going together as a group. How can this not be considered a good thing?
Before departure, the media never stopped taking pictures. Li Daohua's glamorous appearance and Liu Mei's plain clothing formed a sharp contrast.
After arriving at the award ceremony, Liu Mei's servility and Li Daohua's arrogance formed a sharp contrast.
This year is Liu Mei's special show, and Li Daohua can only be regarded as a foil, but the media obviously prefers this one with popularity. After all, they have seen many people praising Western countries, but there are not many who are as impolite as Li Daohua.
People all have one thing in common: they look down on betrayers.
Li Daohua was outside the venue for a very short time, and she was not wearing thick clothes. It would have been very cold if she had stayed outside for a long time, so she simply took a few photos and left.
Liu Mei stayed to participate in interviews with various media. He had never been exposed to these media before and hoped to promote himself through these foreign media.
When it was almost time for the award ceremony, Liu Meicai hurriedly took her seat, waiting for the award with a satisfied look on her face.
After the usual thanks, there was an award speech for the winner. The award speech for Liu Mei was: "Surviving tenaciously in the midst of hardship and torture, and moving towards civilization in the midst of corruption and ignorance."
Liu Mei shows us a world without future, without compassion, and without reason.
The development of a country should not sacrifice personal interests. Human rights are above everything else. However, their practice has always been to sacrifice human rights. The ignorant people are high above and judge the wise...
Li Daohua didn't want to listen at all, except that she was sitting in the audience. If she were on the stage, she would have spit at him.
She turned to look at Liu Mei. At this time, Liu Mei still had a smile on her face, looking forward to going on stage to receive the award and give a speech.
Soon, Liu Mei came on stage. He first thanked the people present, and then talked about the background of his creation of "Little Notes on Life".
Or just like what he said in the domestic newspapers, or even more exaggerated, he has never met a good person in his life, and he is surrounded by ignorant, greedy, and cruel people. How painful it is for him to live in such an environment...
Even his parents were gradually polluted from truth, goodness and beauty in their day-to-day lives and became greedy and ignorant. He was afraid that he would become numb as well.
He struggled, and he wrote it all down, hoping that the words would give him strength and remind him of his original aspirations.
Listening to his acceptance speech, Li Daohua rubbed his temples. Otherwise, how could he have won the award? This was like a dung beetle finding the dung that belonged to it.
As for his acceptance speech and works, if we say that when he wrote them, he was not aiming to discredit the country and curry favor with the West to gain recognition, Li Daohua would have swallowed up everyone in the conference hall.
When Liu Mei was giving her speech, Li Daohua looked at Ian and saw that Ian saw her and made the number two with his hand.
Ian helplessly gave her a OK sign.
Liu Mei's speech was approved by most people present, and when he finished his speech, thunderous applause broke out from the audience.
Those who applauded did not include Li Daohua. She put her hands in her pockets and remained arrogant. The camera of the award ceremony even specially recorded her reaction.
Li Daohua just sneered in response.
The award ceremony was also broadcasted domestically. Many people felt bad when they heard Liu Mei's award speech. They could only comfort themselves that they wrote the award speech based on "Little Notes on Life" and that the world also refers to the world in the work.
It is understandable that Liu Mei accepted such an award. After all, this is a world-class award, and not everyone can be as fearless as Li Daohua.
It was only when Liu Mei gave her acceptance speech that people started to feel uncomfortable. What did she mean by "never met a good person"? Why were there only bad people around him? Why were there so many good people around them? Are they in the same country?
After Liu Mei came Brullient, and the award speeches for the two were completely different.
