Chapter 95: The culture of the betrayer using straw as bookmarks, soon...
The culture of using wheat straw to make bookmarks quickly spread from Henan Province.
The literary youths in Henan Province use the wheat straw from Li Daohua's shop as bookmarks. What should they do if it is inconvenient to go to other places? It doesn't matter, you deserve the same wheat straw.
The wheat straw used is yellow straw, which is only available after the wheat is ripe.
It is October now, and the time when wheat straw appears in large quantities has long passed. It doesn’t matter, as the villagers have plenty of it at home.
"Let's do it too. We can make it look better."
Several small mountain villages in Qin Province and Yu Province were extremely excited after seeing the news.
The tradition of straw painting has always been there in their village, but many of these paintings are just for self-entertainment and are difficult to sell.
If you want to make something beautiful, it takes a long time to hone your skills. As long as it is art, it requires accumulation over time.
Now, if someone wants to buy straw to make bookmarks, that would be a perfect match for them. With their strength, they are definitely the best.
They took an ordinary wheat straw and made it into rice flowers. After becoming proficient at it, they could make it even faster and all the young and old in the village joined in.
There are not many opportunities like this, so you must seize this opportunity to make money quickly, as you don’t know when the next opportunity will be.
Li Daohua attended lectures not only in Peking, but also in other places, with Peking being the first stop.
Before this, Li Daohua had participated in an exchange meeting, so the students and literary and art workers in Peiping were not unfamiliar with her and knew what kind of person she was.
Before the speech officially began, Li Daohua didn't dare to show up outside, for fear that she would not even be able to enter the venue.
She was giving a speech at Peking University, but today, there were not only students from Peking University, but also students from other schools who came to attend classes.
There were so many people that she almost retreated in fear.
In fact, other schools also have speech sessions, they all have them, just at different times, so there is no need to do this.
But everyone's enthusiasm can't be stopped. Li Daohua is no longer an ordinary person, she is now a national idol, and she is bringing glory to the country.
"I think you should buy me some lung and throat moistening stuff. I will need it sooner or later."
Li Daohua took a sip of water and went on stage bravely and fearlessly.
The crowd was so huge that you couldn't see the end of it, and it was just a sea of heads.
Li Daohua sat at the podium in front and gave a one-sentence acceptance speech: "This is an unexpected award, thanks to myself."
There's nothing wrong with that. She wrote the novel based on her own ability, and she also contributed to the previous overseas operations.
The reporters in the audience swiped their hands quickly, and it had to be Teacher Daohua. What he said always brought traffic and made people unable to stop. I really want to try it and see what it would be like if Teacher Daohua was a news editor.
They should be thankful that Li Daohua made a slight deviation in his career choice in 1979 and chose to be a writer instead of an editor.
If she really chose to become an editor by publishing articles, she would spend every day in the newspaper office thinking about how to increase newspaper sales.
That’s all, the era of marketing accounts will come ahead of schedule.
Without further ado, Li Daohua talked about why she wrote this novel. Her remarks were all very brief because there would certainly be many questions afterwards.
Speak less so that you can answer the following questions more conveniently, and also give your throat a rest as you need to increase your intensity during this period.
There are many people who want to ask questions, but time is limited, so I can only select a few people's questions to answer.
Before going on stage, the person in charge also gave Li Daohua some advice, asking her to ask students as many questions as possible when choosing questioners, leaving one or two spots for outsiders, as this was not their special show.
Li Daohua did the same, but because there were too many people and they were too diverse, she could only choose students who raised their hands with unique characteristics.
For example, the color of the clothes is particularly eye-catching, or the headband is very special...
When you say this, you can be more targeted and directly identify the person in question, saving you time on the question of who you are referring to.
"Teacher Daohua, congratulations on winning the Nobel Prize in Literature. You are our pride. I have read every one of your novels. My dream is to become an outstanding writer like you!"
"I believe in you, and you can be better."
After being encouraged by Li Daohua, the girl sat down excitedly and shared her joy with people around her.
When she was named by Li Daohua, she was a little bit unbelievable. This could be considered winning the jackpot.
"Teacher Daohua! I want to take a photo with you!" This is a photography enthusiast. Being able to take a photo with the Nobel Prize winner in Literature is also a moment worth recording in his photography career.
When taking a group photo, Li Daohua saw that the boy was still holding her book, so she took it from him and held the book together with the boy, making them seem less unfamiliar.
The next person was a reporter. He was obviously here with a mission in mind. He stood up and asked, "Teacher Daohua, what does this award mean to you?"
"It means we have won another award." This is really, I listen to what you have to say, I listen to what you have to say.
The reporter was stunned. What kind of answer was this? If he went back and wrote this, would the editor-in-chief criticize him?
"So what new ideas do you have next?"
Li Daohua discovered that this reporter kept asking nonsense questions. Her next thought was of course to continue writing novels to make money. Could it be that she was so complacent that she would stop writing from now on?
"I'll write a new novel until I die!" She was not exaggerating.
The reporter was not given the opportunity to ask questions. The next question was from a student, who questioned: "Teacher Daohua, I attended your last seminar. I remember you said that you thought you could not win the Nobel Prize in Literature because you did not meet the selection criteria.
You said that the Nobel Prize in Literature is only awarded to people whom the West considers to be its own people. If people in the East, especially those in our country, want to win the prize, they have to slander their own country and compatriots.
Now that you have won the Nobel Prize in Literature, does that mean that you have slandered your country and compatriots in "The Siege of Time" and that you are a traitor?
Or, the Nobel Prize in Literature is not as unfair as you say, it is a truly fair literary award, and you need to apologize for the previous slander. "
The student spoke excitedly, as if if Li Daohua did not answer, or answered poorly, he would come up and fight with Li Daohua, and argue with reason to become a righteous person defending the Nobel Prize in Literature.
In fact, when Li Daohua won the award, she knew that this question would be raised sooner or later, and she was prepared.
“I’m glad that everyone still remembers what I said before. Coincidentally, my memory is not bad, so I still remember it.
I still hold the same view that this award was unexpected, but after I learned about America's situation, it was only reasonable."
Seeing that the classmate was about to get excited, the people around him stopped him to prevent him from causing any trouble on such an important occasion.
Li Daohua waved her hand, motioning him to sit down and continue listening to her.
"I have several other versions of "Time Besieged City" here, including the American version, the Indian version, the British version, the Japanese version, the Soviet version..."
As he spoke, Li Daohua opened all the versions and turned to the first page.
“The version published in China is my original manuscript, which has not been translated into Chinese. It is the version that best reflects my true thoughts. I believe that students who have read this novel know that Country A represents the best country.
The best country gives the best answer, this is an ideal state.
Anyone who has read this novel will know that I have no intention of disparaging our country and our people, so his first guess is not correct.
Next is the second one. I believe most people here have not seen these versions. I bought them to prove to everyone that what I am going to say next is well-founded. "
Li Daohua showed the book to the people in the front rows, asking them to only look at the first page and the parts she had marked as important.
“It doesn’t matter if the students at the back can’t see. The people in front are all your classmates. If you don’t believe me, don’t you believe all these classmates?
I would like to ask the students in front of me, what are the translations of Country A in these versions? "
The microphone was given to the student in the front. Several students in a row gave similar answers.
Country A did not translate it truthfully, but instead used English letters. Not only that, each country's version used different English letters.
Some are A, some are S, some are I...
"I have mentioned the meaning of Country A before. According to normal translation, Country A should be translated as the first, and Country B should be translated as the second. You can also use the order of letters ABCD to replace them.
But it is obvious that these countries chose to replace Country A with the initials of their own countries as a means of cultural propaganda, implying that they are the best country.
This can also be seen in newspapers of various countries. If students still have questions, they can check it later.
It is for this reason that "Time Besieged" unexpectedly won the award, because this work is in line with their cultural propaganda concept."
With such sufficient evidence, most people are speechless and even begin to reflect: if this is true, then whether the Nobel Prize in Literature is important to the country.
But the student still disagreed, thinking that Li Daohua was just quibbling to protect her own image, which was despicable and shameful.
Li Daohua felt that it was unnecessary to explain anything to a person who lived in his own world and was immersed in fantasies about the West.
The most suitable novel for him is "Dong Le's Success Story". If he understands the plot of this novel thoroughly, he should quickly go to the "holy land" in the West that he longs for. If this person wants to apply for studying abroad at government expense, she will definitely ruin his plan.
You really think that Li Daohua is some good person. I have plenty of strength and means. Remember this, boy.
He winked at Ouyang Yuan, who reluctantly memorized the boy's appearance and the people around him, preparing to ask him what his name was and which school he was from...
He is not an accomplice. He just wants to maintain social stability and prevent Li Daohua from venting her anger. Who knows where she will vent her anger? He wants to strike precisely and not hurt innocent people.
What's more, Daohua is not a person without sense of propriety (I guess).
Li Daohua's remarks were later written into the report of the speech on that day by all the reporters present. Those who did not go to the scene said it was very exciting and regretted why they did not squeeze in.
