On the screen, a barrage of comments passed by:
"I cried while watching The Old Man and the Sea..."
"Yes, I think it's quite interesting. During Chinese class, the teacher was explaining another text, and I turned to the section on The Old Man and the Sea, and ended up finishing it by accident..."
"I didn't feel anything after watching The Old Man and the Sea, but I cried after watching The Catcher in the Rye."
"I cried after watching "The Catcher in the Rye" +1"
…
After sighing, Gao Xiaobai continued to popularize science:
“As I said earlier, García Borges is a cultural phenomenon in the United States. If you don’t know him, you’d be embarrassed to call yourself a cultural figure.
"It's a bit of an exaggeration. In the United States, if you don't know García Borges, you can still survive. But if you say you don't know Hemingway Faulkner, then it's a big deal. You can even be stripped of your citizenship right away.
"For a long time, Hemingway and Faulkner were assumed to be Americans because most of the stories he told were American.
"He created a tremendous wave in the United States, both in the literary world and among the people—no exaggeration, the only word that can describe it is a tremendous wave.
"Half of America's youth hold his copy of The Catcher in the Rye in their hands, imitating the protagonist's speech and his attitude towards life.
"This book has been listed as a 'must-read book for middle school students across the United States.' It is recommended by all schools and parents, and all American youth know about it and have read it.
"Okay, half of the young people are holding The Catcher in the Rye, and what about the other half? They're holding On the Road.
"After the publication of On the Road, the book boosted sales of hundreds of millions of jeans and coffee machines, and deceived countless young Americans into starting a life of wandering across the United States.
“Yes, this book was also written by Hemingway Faulkner.
"A copy of On the Road and a copy of The Catcher in the Rye together built the hippie culture, which is still popular in the United States today."
Yu Hua said: "He also wrote 'The Sound and the Fury', 'As I Lay Dying', 'The Snows of Kilimanjaro' and 'Absalom! Absalom!' ... These books have the power of nuclear bombs in the literary world."
Gao Xiaobai counted on his fingers and concluded, "Young people admire him, the literary world praises him, and the cultural world reveres him. In the United States, Hemingway Faulkner's status can only be described as 'unparalleled'!"
After saying that, he wiped his sweat again.
According to him, the person who "shocked the whole of America" could not be a Chinese.
But after being slapped in the face so badly by the García Borges incident just now, he no longer dared to jump to conclusions.
Jupiter took a deep breath and said, "So... what will happen if we reveal that he is actually Chinese?"
Gao Xiaobai was still laughing awkwardly, and Yu Hua showed a sinister smile on his face: "God knows, it will probably shock the whole of America again."
Gao Xiaobai didn't want to talk about this topic, so he changed the subject and said, "Let's not talk about what will happen to the United States. After this incident was exposed today, the Japanese and Russians will definitely be even more devastated."
Jupiter asked, "How do you say that?"
