Chapter 98: Pulling Every era has a special person...
Every era has a characteristic character, whether good or bad, who can attract readers no matter what the situation is.
For a newspaper, such a person is simply great, and if this person also knows some art of interviewing, it would be a match made in heaven.
During the interview, the reporters thought that Li Daohua was such a person, and they would have the same idea as the reporters here: it would be great if Li Daohua joined the newspaper.
In fact, it can be seen from the past that Li Daohua is a person who is very good at dealing with the media and is also very good at marketing.
After the last Nebula Awards ceremony, American readers' attention was all focused on Li Daohua, and not many people discussed the other winners.
The same is true this time. Readers in many countries are discussing Li Daohua. Whether good or bad, it is at least better than no one discussing her, for them as journalists.
People who are being paid attention to usually get better results. The worst are those who disappear quietly in a corner where no one cares. They have seen many such people.
Before the interview, we first had to take photos. This courtyard house is not very big and was not originally intended to be used as a long-term residence. Not only is it not big, it has not been properly renovated.
Just tidy up and make it clean and habitable.
Such a house surprised the reporters who came to interview her. After all, they knew that Li Daohua had made a lot of money in America, not to mention at the University of Tokyo. She could definitely live in a big villa, a particularly luxurious one with its own garden.
It doesn't seem to be the case now, her life seems to be a little tight.
The reporter cautiously asked her if she was being suppressed or if there was some other problem, perhaps they could help.
“Of course not, it’s just that I was humiliated at an award ceremony before, and my readers stood up for me and expressed their support for me with flowers. There were so many flowers that they blocked the door of my house, so I can only live here temporarily.
Look, the flowers here were brought from there, they are very beautiful.”
The reporter was a little skeptical and asked to go and see such a scene after the interview. Li Daohua would certainly not refuse, as she was not lying.
During the interview, the reporter asked about what Li Daohua said about the award ceremony and the criticism she received from other media afterwards.
Li Daohua said calmly: "I have said that I am the future. Literature will eventually return to literature itself. The more impurities it contains, the less pure it will be.
Their old age is engraved in their bones. They are even unwilling to open their eyes and see the world. When they are old, they are left with only a stale aura and will sooner or later be abandoned by the times.
The future does not belong to them, but to every ordinary person who works hard. "
Oh, if you say that, we'll be excited and say more of what we like to hear.
America's dream had not yet deteriorated, at least the people at the bottom did not know that it was just a lie.
Or maybe they told so many lies that they began to believe them themselves. After all, America is the best at lying.
Li Daohua's theory of the struggle of the lower class still has a large market in America, and it is also the value that America has always been promoting.
They have also filmed many film and television works to show that even ordinary people have the opportunity to achieve class crossing through struggle.
When mentioning that many readers in America also support her, Li Daohua also specifically expressed her gratitude to the readers who support her. Although they are thousands of miles away, she still hopes that each of her readers can have a happy family, good health, and all the best.
After listening to the translation, the reporters were a little surprised. They also knew Li Daohua and had read many interviews about Li Daohua before coming. What could they say about her previous speeches?
She is nothing like the Chinese people they know. She is extremely aggressive. Even during the current interview, they have witnessed Li Daohua's aggressiveness.
Just mentioning that her readers support her very much, her mood changed instantly. The blessing sounded full of sincerity, from family to health, and in all aspects.
Moreover, I heard that the people here all know witchcraft, so maybe this really is a form of blessing. If they don't enjoy it, it would be a big loss.
A reporter quickly added that he hoped Li Daohua could also give them such blessings.
Free blessings can be sent at will, but if you receive free blessings, you can’t accept the ones that require money.
Now it seems that Li Daohua is a pretty good person. Why is he good? Of course, he is good for his readers.
I can't say that every wish will be granted, but with this witchcraft, the readers might take advantage of it.
There are also various slanders against Li Daohua by other countries, such as his chaotic private life.
Li Daohua’s answer was: “I suggest you check who said it. If someone says that about me, it usually means that he is that kind of person. Otherwise, why would he think that about others? Don’t you think so?”
Of course, this is definitely not right, but Li Daohua feels that this statement will absolutely come true 100% when applied to those people, and there may even be unexpected surprises.
Reporters, think about it. Not only does it seem to be true, but when they make up stories to write press releases, they are just citing cases around them and are used to them.
It takes so much brainpower to write it yourself. You only earn a few dollars a month, so you have to work so hard.
The company belongs to the boss, but your body is your own, so take as good care of it as possible.
A few people got together and chatted for a long time, and both the host and the guests had a great time.
Finally, Li Daohua asked Ouyang Yuan to take them to her previous home to see how famous she, Li, was.
We really have nothing lacking. The number of our readers in Beijing may even exceed the number of readers in a foreign country. If it weren't for the need to earn foreign exchange, she would have been able to live a comfortable life by just writing in China.
The reporters were also stunned to see the flowers everywhere, especially since new readers kept sending them flowers as they were looking.
There are men and women, young and old, it can be said that they are all-rounders.
At this time, the total population and the advantages of concentrated residence are reflected, and a large number of people can be gathered in a short period of time.
This is something that many foreign countries cannot do. The fact that so many people sent flowers to Li Daohua's family is itself surprising.
They randomly interviewed several passers-by and asked them why they supported Li Daohua so much and what was the charm of Li Daohua.
Most adults come to Li Daohua because of her works and her patriotism, while children come to her more because of her book corner project.
America also has charity, but their charity is focused on helping the homeless and the so-called refugees, and they do not allow charity in the area of education.
Not only can we not do charity, but we also need to encourage people to invest more money in education.
If you want to see education change your destiny, how can you think destiny is expensive? There are free ones, but are you willing to use them? Can using them change your destiny?
What they hope most is not to study, to have a happy education, to grow up obediently and muddle-headedly and to be exploited.
However, they will not write this when they go back. The fact that they can write about Li Daohua's active participation in charity is already because Li Daohua blesses them.
If ordinary people knew that charity could be done in this way, they would be furious.
Soon, Vanity Fair and Time published special reports about Li Daohua. Unlike other reports, they actually interviewed Li Daohua himself instead of making groundless accusations.
This kind of report that hides part of the truth is more authoritative and convincing than a report that is entirely false.
The fact that Li Daohua did not take the medal was also written about. Before that, neither television nor the media reported that Li Daohua had refused the Nobel Prize.
There was laughter in the room. The proposal was two months in the making, but in the end the winner refused it. This was definitely a blow to the Nobel Prize.
If you don't give it and if you give it but others don't want it, these are two different things. The latter means that Li Daohua is more powerful and the professionalism of the Nobel Prize has suffered another blow.
The Nobel Prize is also in a hurry. Why do you refuse? We don’t allow you to refuse!
Some newspapers tried to save face by saying that the Nobel Prize would not be awarded to people of poor character.
It's useless. Not all Nobel Prize winners are saints. There are more than one or two who were nailed to the throne for their poor character.
Actually, that's not true. To them, these people are not of bad character. No one is perfect and it is inevitable to have some shortcomings. The Nobel Prize focuses on literature itself.
Alas, this is a slap in the face to oneself. What's more, as I said before, it's not that the Nobel Prize is not awarded, but that people don't want it after it is awarded.
In this way, a heated discussion broke out in the newspapers surrounding Li Daohua, and Li Daohua's life was also dug up, with all kinds of true and false reports.
Some domestic reports were also directly quoted by them.
A person in charge also called Li Daohua's home and asked her to accept the medal, as it is not easy to win an award.
After such a long time, Li Daohua calmed down a lot and said, "I can accept it if the award speech is modified and an apology is given. Otherwise, I won't take it. They can give it to whoever they want.
When the time comes, let’s see who will be embarrassed.”
When it comes to embarrassing others, Li Daohua is far ahead. After all, she made her fortune from this and one should not forget her roots.
The Nobel Prize also disagreed with Li Daohua's statement, and the two sides remained in a stalemate, spending the whole year of 1985 in this stalemate.
During the Chinese New Year, Li Daohua did not dare to go out. She wanted everyone to forget about her, so she had to have another major event to divert people's attention.
That day is not too far away.
When the Chinese New Year was approaching, Li Zhuzi and Li Sanzhu went back to their hometown. Their uncle had passed away. This uncle was very good to them, and they had to go back to attend the funeral. It happened that they had not been home for a few years, so they went home to worship their ancestors and would not come back until after the Chinese New Year.
There were only Li Daohua and Ouyang Yuan left at home, so they simply ordered the New Year's Eve dinner from a restaurant outside to save them the trouble of cooking.
Before setting off, Li Sanzhu called Zhang Qingshan and told him that they were going back and had to live at home.
Zhang Qingshan also knew that they were coming back, so he advised Li Sanzhu to live in Li Zhuzi's house, saying that he might not feel safe and comfortable living in his own house.
"There's nothing unstable or unfamiliar about my home." Li Sanzhu didn't care.
