Chapter 818: Public Opinion Storm, It's Killing Me (Part 1)
The Pulitzer Prize, as the highest international award in the field of journalism, is known as the "Nobel Prize of Journalism."
It consists of 14 news awards and 7 creative awards.
This photo, titled "Protect", won the most prestigious "News Photography Award".
In the photo, the woman was kneeling on the ground, instinctively protecting her child with her hands, closing her eyes tightly, tears running down her gray cheeks, leaving two black tear marks.
The protective suit was torn, the protective mask was lost, and there were bloodstains on his arms.
A man opened his arms, held her and the little girl in his arms, and used his broad arms to build a wall of life for them.
His dark eyes looked forward steadily, calm and sharp, with the fortitude and determination to face death calmly.
All around were exploding mushroom clouds, flying yellow sand, billowing smoke, and thick fog blocking the sun.
There is a line of small words in the lower right corner of the photo: "Photo taken on May 2, 2052, at Kenny Bay resettlement camp."
The text section includes a brief introduction to the author: Mai Lehui, a correspondent for Huaxin News Agency, was born in J Province in 20xx and graduated from Huaxia Communication University. He has been stationed in northern F Continent for many years and has reported on "The Great November 25th Bombing" and "A Village Attacked by Wild Beasts."
There are also comments from the Pulitzer Prize Selection Committee on the winning works:
Protect, protect, defend.
Aid Without Borders has protected tens of thousands of Schenkwo infected patients in Continent F. In this barren land, the world has seen not only the raging virus, but also the blossoming of kindness.
The winning news was announced by the president of Columbia University, and the winning works were then announced on the Pulitzer official website.
When the news reached China, the news media was shocked.
You should know that although this award is not limited to any nationality, very few Chinese people have won it.
Even McLean himself was caught off guard.
Major media outlets also called his Chinese News Agency.
The Chinese News Agency was stunned by the sudden enthusiasm of its colleagues. After learning the whole story, it expressed regret that reporter Mai was still in Continent F and was not available for an interview.
Although the real owner did not show up, this is a top-notch happy event in the Chinese news and newspaper circles, so it is natural that there must be a lot of fanfare.
There should be a report, right? Arrange!
Is it going to be trending? Let’s do it!
Although colleagues celebrated and the news reported it, the Pulitzer Prize is only an industry award after all. For some outsiders, they may not have even heard of it and may only know of the "Nobel Prize".
I originally thought that the industry would have a carnival and the matter would be over, but I didn't expect that after the hot search term "China News Reporter Wins Pulitzer Prize" was at the bottom of the list for two hours, it suddenly and inexplicably jumped to the third place in the hot search.
The first two entries are:
[Jiang Fuyue Pulitzer Prize]
Are they hugging each other?
They are all labeled with the word "explosion" at the end.
"W-What's going on?"
"Are we journalists so proud?"
"This trending search makes me feel a little dizzy."
"April Fools' Day is coming?"
"I'm just confused. What does Pulitzer have to do with Jiang Fuyue? Why is she trending on the internet?"
"I remember the Pulitzer Prize didn't give out science prizes either?"
“…”
A group of people clicked in with doubts, puzzlement, and confusion...all kinds of complicated emotions.
Then, I was stunned on the spot——
"The woman in the photo is Jiang Fuyue?!"
"Oh my god—that was a helicopter bombing! How dare she!"
"I thought she went to Continent F just to do some research in the lab, but I didn't expect it to be so thrilling."
"It is said that the little girl she is holding in her arms is a girl with antibodies. It is because of her that Jiang Fuyue was able to discover the active F enzyme."
"However! These are not the main points! The main point is! The man holding Jiang Fuyue and the little girl, using his body as a shield, was actually Professor Xie—Xie Dingyuan!"
Not only were journalists surprised, but the internet was also in an uproar.
There are those who feel sorry for Jiang Fuyue——
"The Moon Goddess is suffering. There's so much blood on her hands. Woohoo!"
"Bao, my heart hurts."
"Those who say, 'It's just the discovery of the F active enzyme, she just got lucky and encountered someone with pre-existing antibodies,' aren't they feeling guilty? Doesn't it hurt? If you're brave enough, risk your life and experience a helicopter bombing! Damn it!"
There are also people who are crazy about Jiang Fuyue——
"After seeing this photo, I finally understood why the person standing at this height today, enjoying the flowers and applause, is Jiang Fuyue! Because - she deserves it!"
"She used her life to protect lives and save more lives."
"As a Chinese, I feel extremely proud and proud."
"The backbone of a nation is unbending and unbroken!"
"The first time I saw the Moon Goddess cry, how desperate must she have been?"
"Where the heart is, where love is, never forgetting the original intention, love knows no boundaries - this is the Moon Goddess!"
“I worship not the streams, but the sea; not the plains, but the mountains.”
In addition, there is a "secret" force in the comment area——
"Ahem! Although I know it's a bit inappropriate to say this, but does anyone really think Sister Yue and Professor Xie are... a good match? (Very quietly)"
"Forgive me for letting my imagination run wild under such a positive Weibo post. But the image of Professor Xie holding Sister Yue in his arms is so sweet! Ahhhhh! I can't control myself!"
"So, are there any CP fans?"
"Raise your hand quietly (mainly to avoid being criticized)"
"Since they know they're going to get criticized, what are those people upstairs doing?"
"Are the daily TV dramas, variety shows, interviews, and those devilish mashups on those lousy websites not enough to satisfy the wicked tastes of you love-brained single-celled organisms? Why do you have to mess with this nonsense on such a solemn occasion?"
"It's disgusting. Fucking open the door to disgust—it's disgusting!"
"It's just a bunch of bugs!"
"Sister Yue risked her life, Professor Xie acted righteously, and yet you all viewed a hug as something so dirty."
“Reported.”
Overwhelming accusations and insults came pouring in, and those netizens who supported the CP were sprayed like sieves in the blink of an eye, and they dared not even speak.
Soon, the comment section returned to calm, filled with voices of praise and praise.
"Sister Yue protected the little girl, and the professor protected her. This is the character of the Chinese people!"
"The professor is handsome, Sister Yue is cool!"
"The current and future top figures in Chinese academia are all in this photo."
“…”
At the same time, in a group chat called "Yuanyue Saccharin Processing Factory" -
Yuanyue's Little Button: [Woohoo! That's too much!]
Yuanyue's panties: [I'm so pissed! It's so hard to eat candy, and I have to be fucked by a ginseng rooster]
Yuanyue's little heart: [???]
Yuanyue's belly is pounding: [What happened? ]
Yuanyue's little button directly posted two screenshots, which were the comments on Weibo where they were being chased and dissed by a group of keyboard warriors.
Yuanyue's Dabobo: [Didn't we agree that we only eat candy internally? Why are you promoting it on Weibo?]
Yuanyue's underwear: [Bobo, you didn't go on Weibo today? ]
Yuanyue's Big Bobo: [Uh... I was waiting in line to take the third driving test, but I didn't brush it [wipes sweat] So, is there something serious? ]
Yuanyue's Little Button: [This is a huge matter, just take a look]
There is no need to say anything, just post the photo that won the Pulitzer Prize and it will be clear.
Yuanyue's big boob: [Holy shit! This is me, Yueyue, and Yuanyuan?!]
I recognized them both at a glance, there was no doubt that they were in love.
【Yes.】
Yuanyue's big kiss: [Oh my god! Here comes the sugar! Inhaled like a storm! Oh my god! He even hugged me! He hugged me! Yuanyuan's eyes were not only determined but also gentle, and it must be for Yueyue! Awww! KSWL (I'm dying of it)!]
Yuanyue's belly: [Bobo, you're so slow to realize it. When I clicked on the trending search, this photo was the one that popped up. I was so sweet that my soul left my body and my brain was dizzy!]
Yuanyue's little heart: [Me too! Me too! I used to only be able to eat candy from cracks in the ground, but I never thought that one day I'd be able to soak in a pot of honey? Ah! Happiness comes so suddenly~]
Yuanyue's Little Panties: [This photo makes me imagine a 2 million word romance novel, so good!]
Yuanyue's Big Bobo: [I'm shocked! You all saw it? Why didn't you come to the group to let me know? I missed out on so much candy [angry]]
Yuanyue's little heart: [Oops, I was so busy enjoying the sweets that I forgot to mention it in the group. It's still in the top three trending searches. I thought everyone saw it.]
Yuanyue's panties: [But these swearing keyboards are so unethical! Knock! They even called me and Little Button disgusting!]
[Wow… If only Yueyue and Yuanyuan were truly a couple, then we’d see if those trolls would still dare to criticize them! What a shame…]
It's fake.
It's obvious that the two of them are a perfect match, the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, the man is strong and the woman is strong, so why aren't they together?
worry!
