Chapter 122: It doesn't matter if you don't talk to Li Daohua,...
It doesn’t matter if you don’t talk to Li Daohua. Readers can see what Li Daohua wrote anyway, and then they realize that what she said is right. They almost got fooled by that group of shameless people.
In the past, we didn’t have the conditions, so we had to add Xiaomi and rifles. Now that we have the conditions, we still have to add Xiaomi and rifles. Then everyone’s liberation and catching up with Britain and the United States would have been in vain.
It's a shameless thing, and it's very bad.
As Jiuzhou is the first line of hard steel, it is not that no one has thought about collapsing from within.
But first of all, when Jiuzhou was founded, many of the people recruited were young people. With such a good job and the current working environment, they would not easily leave.
This resulted in Jiuzhou not recruiting a large number of people for a long period of time.
Even when recruiting, newcomers have to start as junior editors, who are mainly responsible for the processing of foreign news, and there is not much room for them to tamper with.
Since they want to stir up trouble, they must do something. If they are discovered, they will be fired immediately. After all, they are not in a state-owned enterprise and there is no such thing as a stable job.
Moreover, another aspect that restricts them from entering "Jiuzhou" is that the more such people there are, the higher they jump. They usually like to make some anti-intellectual remarks, so it is not easy for them to pass the background check.
The more readers of "Jiuzhou" there are, the more uncomfortable such people will feel. They usually have to pretend that everyone else is drunk but they are the only one sober.
"Daqin Heavy Industry" is even more heart-wrenching. This is not an ordinary refreshing novel. When writing this, everyone can't help but think about how powerful the country would be and how strong everyone would have to be if it really did so.
They don't even need to think about it, it's written in the novel itself. The people of the Qin Dynasty are as straight as people who grew up eating calcium tablets, and they can't bend at all.
Citizens of the Great Qin can be seen traveling abroad in various countries, and even around the world, Great Qin ships can be seen traveling everywhere.
The whole country exudes a peaceful atmosphere from top to bottom. I am not fighting a war. I just come to your house to visit. I have no special interests. Who doesn’t like to watch the fun?
After reading this article, many readers expressed their feelings and wondered when our country would be like the Qin Dynasty and not fear the powerful nations.
There will be no military parade for National Day this year, but there will be celebrations. Many places began preparing for the celebration ceremonies early on.
Beijing is certainly no exception, and as the capital, every time there is such a festival, Beijing will usher in the peak period of entry and must be fully prepared.
All major newspapers are also reporting on the upcoming National Day, and "Daqin Heavy Industry" is also among the reports as a work to celebrate the National Day.
The Peking Daily interviewed Li Daohua and asked her why she thought of creating a science fiction work like "Daqin Heavy Industry".
"This work is still very controversial. Some readers think that you are singing praises. What do you think of this?"
“People who think I am singing praises are essentially insecure and think I am using science fiction to satisfy the fantasies of some people, but I don’t think this is a science fiction film.
The consequence of overcorrection is to boast about foreign countries to the extreme and ignore the efforts that have been made at home. Of course, it is a fact that we are not as good as foreign countries in many aspects now.
But we are also making rapid progress. In the 40 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, we have already completed a journey that took many countries a century to complete. Given time, everything is possible."
Some people cannot see the objective facts. In fact, even when the country did stand up later, there were still people kneeling on the ground.
Not only did he kneel himself, he also strongly demanded that others kneel with him, otherwise it would seem that he was not a human being.
Li Daohua even gave herself a patch at the end: "Those who accuse me of eulogizing others' achievements better shut up. No matter how much nonsense you say, I will show you what true eulogizing means."
Just kidding. Anyway, these people are already fed up with her. If they talk any more, she doesn't mind writing another more exaggerated one, the kind that would directly piss them off to death.
Eh? My mind suddenly opened up. If I could make these people angry to death, wouldn't that mean there would be fewer flies buzzing?
After reading Li Daohua’s arrogant speech, even people who love watching “Daqin Heavy Industry” feel that Li Daohua is too arrogant.
But if she said that, what would her true eulogy look like? I'm really curious...
Threatened by Li Daohua, these people thought, how could there be anything more sci-fi and more eulogistic than "Daqin Heavy Industry"? If they really wrote it, would they have no shame?
But it’s hard to say about Li Daohua. Who knows, she might really write some weird works.
It's not like she hasn't done this before.
For a long time afterwards, those people in newspapers who liked to focus on Li Daohua and her works began to shift their attention to other people.
All the anger and grievances suffered by Li Daohua must be taken back by others.
They will not attack each other. After all, beating a dog depends on its owner, and they have the same owner.
Li Daohua did not authorize "Daqin Heavy Industry" to Ian. She did not want the novel to be read by foreigners, even though she knew that even if they read it, they would not be able to study it. What they are best at is making PPTs.
According to this algorithm, Li Daohua and they are in the same industry, PPT players. Industry players are enemies, so let's give industry players a chance to survive.
Originally, "Daqin Heavy Industry" was being serialized smoothly. Not long after, Ian called her and asked her if she had authorized other publishing houses to publish her new novel?
"What new novel?"
""Daqin Heavy Industry""
"How is that possible? I haven't authorized you yet, so how could I authorize it to someone else? This novel is not intended to be distributed overseas."
"Oh, then it looks like our legal department will have to start working."
Ian was eager to try. What was the difference between robbing him of his money and taking his life?
He is in America, and he has gone from sleeping in subway stations to where he is today. No one would think that he is a philanthropist.
The friends who had followed him from a remote town to Wall Street and had made a living by robbery were quickly won over by him after he became rich.
These people had different jobs from the ones he later brought in from the remote towns.
People who have experienced the dark society are different from the young people who have just arrived from small towns. When there are things that the law cannot solve, they need to step in.
After investigation, it turned out to be different from what Ian thought. The pirated copies sold on the market were not printed privately by a publishing house, but by a minor.
When they found the minor, he was in the utility room of his home, printing posters with a broken printing press. The room was also piled with the printed English version of "Daqin Heavy Industry".
Of course, this was not the biggest shock to Ian and Li Daohua.
What shocked them the most was that in this storage room, in addition to the English version of "Daqin Heavy Industry", there was also "Selected Works of Mao Zedong", and the posters were not only illustrations of "Daqin Heavy Industry", but also portraits of the two of them.
Even on the wall opposite the utility room door, there was a red flag with a white hammer, sickle, and gear on it.
When Ian sent the photo, there was a beam of light shining on the boy in the dim utility room, making it difficult to see his appearance. Instead, the most clear thing was the chaotic environment around him.
The boy asked his Chinese classmate's sister to translate "Daqin Heavy Industry".
Both of them are bullied at school, but they are different. The boy believes in the Communist Party of the United States and hopes that America can develop into a country like Soviet Union and China in the future, where the people are the masters of their own destiny and everyone is equal.
His Chinese classmates scoffed at his idea, thinking that America is good as it is and does not need to change.
Although the two have different ideas, the boy is the only one in the school who is willing to communicate with that classmate, and the relationship between the two is pretty good.
It could be limited to the surface. At least when Ian and his team investigated, the other party immediately gave up the boy and cleared himself of responsibility.
"We are going to sue him. If he doesn't pay enough fines, he will definitely have to spend his coming-of-age ceremony in jail." Ian was merciless.
In fact, he didn't know what the Communist Party of the United States was. He took the photos and sent them to Li Daohua simply because the storage room was too red. Red, in this era, usually has a specific meaning.
He even thought that the flag belonged to another country, such as the Soviet Union.
"Well, maybe you can ask him to work for you in his spare time to make up for his mistakes. The point is to make him realize that he was wrong, not to punish him, right? Isn't this what you like to say the most?"
"Please, don't learn the hypocritical faces of those politicians and lawyers. They love to confuse right and wrong. If you don't want to punish him, just say so."
If this boy was simply plagiarizing, Li Daohua would of course hate him.
However, according to the boy, this kind of pirated product has good sales, especially among young people.
Young Americans of this era are rebellious and pursuing individuality. The more the mainstream media criticizes Li Daohua, the more these young people praise Li Daohua.
It may not necessarily be that I like reading Li Daohua's books, but I may simply be pursuing individuality and being different.
Based on this situation, Li Daohua simply allowed Ian to print, but this time he would not promote it, hoping that those who wanted to take the bait would do so.
She stopped promoting herself because she couldn't stand the large number of people in China who were watching her.
As one of the few domestic authors who is also well-known abroad, how could we not report on the sale of her new book abroad?
Ian and his team did not advertise the product and launched the sale in a low-key manner, so naturally not many people knew about it and not many people bought it.
Oh, that will make some people very happy. You, Li Daohua, have finally come to this day. I have always said that this kind of book that praises and eulogizes others is not acceptable.
Look, no one abroad watches it anymore, and it’s a disgrace to the country.
Before this, every novel of Li Daohua had to be marketed, which was normal. Given the literacy rate in America, without marketing, the sales data would be extremely ugly.
Others didn't care about this and just laughed at Li Daohua and "Daqin Heavy Industry" for their own amusement.
Even the illustrations of "Daqin Heavy Industry" were ridiculed by these people.
"Do you believe me or those outsiders?"
"I believe you."
Although the research center thinks that Li Daohua's illustrations are reasonable, it has no right to comment because it has not developed them.
They are researchers, not talkers, and they prefer to speak with facts.
Even if the PPT was drawn by America, even if people in China are skeptical, you have to actually make it and use real results to tell them that your PPT is wrong.
The most typical example is the space-based weapon - the Rod of God, which was hyped up a lot, but in the end it was proved that this weapon was completely useless.
They can only speed up their research and tirelessly absorb knowledge from the outside.
Li Daohua is too familiar with this kind of ridicule. In this era, America is still a beacon.
But who is she? She had promised that if anyone dared to say that "Daqin Heavy Industry" was eulogizing, she would really write a eulogizing novel.
"Not really, really!" After knowing Li Daohua's thoughts, People's Literature hurried to persuade her.
