Chapter 97: Humiliation Li Daohua stood still on the stage and looked around...
Li Daohua stood on the stage and looked around. She could see some obvious malice and also some curiosity.
She would definitely not use the speech given by the accompanying team. As for their award speech, if she really accepted it, it would mean that she agreed with what the speech said.
It meant that she agreed with what was said in the award speech, that she was in the dark, but that was not true.
She has always been in the light, while these people, on the contrary, are truly in the darkness without knowing it.
"I have a few objections to the award speech just now. I do not agree with this award speech. My country gave birth to me, and also gave birth to my writing.
If the country is not such an inclusive, united and progressive one, it will not be able to nurture positive vitality and people.
Words are my yearning for the future, not a rebellion against the present.
If you only come to this conclusion after reading "Time Besieged", I would think that your literary literacy is worrying, and I feel ashamed for winning the Nobel Prize for such a reason.
"Time Siege" is not a criticism of a country or government, but a victory for the people."
Li Daohua spoke in Chinese throughout, and the translator next to her helped translate word by word.
It must be said that this was the most satisfying translation she had ever had, because Li Daohua required that she express her protest in a strong tone.
She didn't need to choose her words carefully; she could just say whatever made her feel good. Of course, she was still a little worried about Li Daohua.
At present, the country's international power is not particularly strong, and it is also excluded by international forces. She is worried that after Li Daohua said this, these countries will collectively make things difficult for her.
Some mentally abnormal people believe that the West is a truly civilized country, without any worldly wisdom and absolutely fair and just. They are simply lying with open eyes, or their cerebral cortex is so smooth that even a fly would slip when it touches it.
These countries are truly uncivilized. They are just playing the tricks left over from their ancestors, but they don't understand why. Sooner or later, they will suffer the consequences.
Li Daohua is not worried about these things. Whatever they want, they can ban her books. Isn't that what they are best at? At worst, she can just change her pen name and continue to make money from them.
If she is really asked to change her pen name to make money, she will throw away her conscience, just disgust others, stir up trouble, and focus on hurting each other.
When everyone present heard what Li Daohua said, their faces changed, and only a few countries could not hide their smiles.
For Western countries, many things can be discussed for money, but when it comes to national consciousness, they do not allow others to interfere.
Their country can only be controlled by themselves, and it is absolutely impossible for outsiders to come in.
So, there is a reason why many countries have not been able to win the Nobel Prize in Literature over the years.
You praise your own country, but they disagree. What does that mean? Are you trying to incite people from our country to riot?
We don’t know why they are so sensitive, and we don’t know how a little bit of goodness from other countries can cause the people of their country to riot.
I really don't understand.
Li Daohua's words were tantamount to a slap in the face, especially on such an important occasion.
While she was still giving a speech, the microphone was suddenly turned off. Without anyone reminding her, Li Daohua immediately noticed that the microphone was turned off.
The originally deafening sound became difficult to hear even in the front row after the microphone was turned off.
They originally thought that this would be enough, but unexpectedly, Li Daohua took out two walkie-talkies from his coat pocket, just like the ones teachers used in class.
It was originally made for use in situations where people were surrounded. It was quite useful and she had used it several times.
Unexpectedly, it would come in handy at this time. Li Daohua continued to talk about the original meaning of her novel and how it was distorted by the translated versions in other countries.
The vast majority of people present had never read the Chinese version. They all thought that their country's version was the original version and that Li Daohua was a traitor.
Now that I heard Li Daohua say this, and after communicating with each other, I realized that it was really as she said.
But so what? They don't care about the truth, they only care about whether they can fit in. Li Daohua's behavior means that she is not sociable.
Such people will never be accepted by them in the future.
Li Daohua's small loudspeaker was not used for long before he was driven off the stage and the loudspeaker was confiscated along with it.
But the Nobel Prize cannot be withdrawn. The whole world already knows that Li Daohua won the prize. If they withdraw it, they would be slapping themselves in the face, which would be even more ridiculous than being slapped in the face at an awards ceremony.
At this time, many people still have a heavy filter for the Nobel Prize, and the Nobel Prize itself also values its own reputation, so it is not the time to give up.
It doesn’t matter if they can’t withdraw it, they have plenty of ways to deal with Li Daohua.
Listing her books as banned is just the most despicable way, of course they will do it, but not only that, they also want the media to publicize Li Daohua - the bad aspects.
For example, Li Daohua had a chaotic sex life, provided services to high-ranking officials, enslaved ordinary people, and the clothes she wore were made by slaves...
What they came up with is of course commonplace to them. They would not personally investigate Li Daohua's living conditions, nor do they care what their country is like. They just want to say that.
It doesn’t matter if there are no pictures or truth. They won’t care even if there are pictures and truth.
Just when they were thinking about how to punish Li Daohua, Li Daohua stepped down from the stage without accepting the certificate or medal, in order to show her dissatisfaction with this Nobel Prize and to demonstrate her attitude that she was really ashamed of it.
Someone reminded Li Daohua that she had forgotten to take her certificate and medal. Li Daohua said loudly that she would not accept such an award speech and such a medal.
As mentioned before, they were still more concerned about their face at that time. Even if they were wrong, they had to make the best of it. Li Daohua had to take this award.
An attack after the fact is an attack after the fact. It is also very embarrassing for them if Li Daohua does not want the medal at this time.
Someone trotted over to bring something to Li Daohua. Li Daohua put his hands in his pockets and stared at the other person, making the other person break out in a cold sweat on his back.
When Li Daohua turned around and left, he didn't dare to chase after her.
Li Daohua had offended many people. Before Li Daohua left, the newspapers were full of negative information about her.
They attacked Li Daohua's dressing style, saying that she was too poor to buy an evening gown.
Some newspapers also said that people in their country had never heard of evening gowns. After all, their country was so poor and backward that they could not even afford food, so how could they have money to buy clothes, let alone aristocratic clothing such as evening gowns.
Not only did he not get the award, but people also said such things about him. The person in charge of the entourage could not blame Li Daohua. When he heard such words, he was also furious.
For the sake of the overall situation, they had to endure it. From a personal perspective, Li Daohua was very happy with this approach. However, from an official standpoint, their publicity did not achieve the desired effect.
On the way back, everyone felt a little depressed.
Before coming here, everyone was very happy. No matter what, Li Daohua winning the Nobel Prize was something to be happy about. Some simple-minded people really believed that this was a victory for culture and a reflection of Li Daohua's cultural level.
But after experiencing the award ceremony, I realized that everything Li Daohua said before was true, which is actually quite depressing.
Li Daohua was not unhappy. She could curse people in such an occasion. Cursing would have been fine, but this group of people did not cancel her Nobel Prize. She thought it was cancelled just like that.
Some people feel guilty, and some people don't. America really thinks that the country A in Li Daohua's article is them. If it's not them, could it be country S? Don't be ridiculous, they are the ones who are on good terms with Dongda now.
Therefore, American newspapers did not criticize Li Daohua, but instead believed that Li Daohua fully demonstrated what freedom of speech and human rights are.
Those countries are not free or democratic at all, and are completely incomparable to us, the beacon. We still have a lot to learn from them.
Both "Vanity Fair" and "Time" invited Li Daohua to participate in exclusive interviews, and Li Daohua became really popular in America.
It is extremely controversial, and word of mouth keeps twisting and turning, making it impossible to imagine what she will do next.
Li Daohua had just returned to China and had no time, so Vanity Fair and Time sent reporters to interview her locally, which was more attractive to American readers.
This award ceremony was also broadcast domestically, with Chinese subtitles to make it easier for more people to watch.
Among them, the largest audience is college students. Many ordinary people still have to go to work, and college students can even watch the award ceremony together under the guidance of their teachers.
When seeing the award speech, many students were filled with indignation and really wanted to stand up and shout loudly, "You're talking nonsense!"
But they were thousands of miles away, and the award ceremony had already ended, so no matter how angry they were, it would be of no use.
"Teacher Daohua will never let them go!"
"But what can Teacher Daohua do? This is the Nobel Prize. If Teacher Daohua messes up, she may not get the prize. Tell me honestly, would you give up such an international award?"
The students present wanted to say no, but honestly speaking, how many people could refuse the Nobel Prize?
The students, including the teachers, clenched their fists as they watched the award speech translated into Chinese. Even though the speech had been translated as well as possible using good words, the malice revealed in it still made people feel uncomfortable.
When Li Daohua came on stage, many people's eyes lit up. She is 25 years old this year, has traveled a lot, is knowledgeable, and has shed her previous immaturity and looks much more mature.
In addition, she dressed more conservatively this time, giving the impression of a peaceful and prosperous country.
The way she dressed made many people nod their heads secretly, thinking that this was the style of a great country.
It’s a pity that Li Daohua couldn’t speak, because if she opened her mouth she would ruin everything. Kuku’s speech left the listeners stunned.
Some people didn't react and subconsciously looked at the subtitles when Li Daohua was speaking. It took them a while before they realized that they didn't need to look at the subtitles and could just listen to Li Daohua directly.
What Li Daohua said also made many people feel relieved. This is right. This is Teacher Daohua, although the attack power was a little smaller this time.
What they didn't know was that the broadcast they saw was also screened, and what Li Daohua said through the loudspeaker was not recorded at all.
The only way they could see Li Daohua's speech was because of the efforts of the embassy. Some countries simply used a castrated version, without Li Daohua's speech at all.
The method of spiritual victory also makes them numb to winning.
After Li Daohua returned to China, many people spontaneously came to Li Daohua's doorstep to send flowers to express their support for Li Daohua.
In December, the only flowers still in bloom are wintersweets and some chrysanthemums.
As a result, a large number of wintersweets and chrysanthemums were soon placed in front of Li Daohua's house.
Everything was fine at the beginning. The number of the two kinds of flowers was almost the same, and there was everything. The color was mainly red. The New Year is coming soon, so we wanted to have a festive mood.
I don’t know when it started, but chrysanthemums have surpassed them and their numbers have increased rapidly, so much so that wintersweets are almost gone.
The color also changed from the original red to a mixture of white flowers, making it look like a memorial service.
There was nothing that could be done about it. Many people supported Li Daohua, but there were only so many wintersweets and chrysanthemums in Peking. Everyone wanted the red ones at first, so the white ones were left.
Those who realize it late or are slow to act can only choose white flowers, after all, it is a token of their love.
Li Daohua lived in another courtyard. Ouyang Yuan would secretly go to the doorstep of her house at night and bring back a few flowers, which he would place on Li Daohua's desk. They also looked very pretty.
There will also be a light fragrance in the room.
It was here that Li Daohua was interviewed by Vanity Fair and Time. The two sides hit it off immediately and were determined to make shocking statements.
