Chapter 316 Extra Chapter - Legendary Domination
At the book club, Yue Chengzhi brought a book for exchange, "The Years I Was Sent by the Organization to Study."
This is Yue Chengzhi's first time attending a reading club.
In 2049, with e-books dominating the market, reading paper books has become a retro activity. However, recently the Internet has started to set off a trend of "in the past, transportation was slow and letters were far away", and people have started to organize book clubs to exchange books.
Yue Chengzhi was one of those who got into the genre under this trend. He initially chose "The Years When I Was Sent to Study by the Organization" recommended by netizens. It is said to be a very good introductory autobiographical novel that is both interesting and patriotic. It is said to be very suitable for reading on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The author is the famous scientist and writer Yi Hanxing.
To be honest, after reading this book, Yue Chengzhi flipped through it four or five times. If paper books were not too expensive and she, as a student, did not have the money to buy too many, she might not have been willing to use them to exchange books with others in the reading club.
But now, Yue Chengzhi is glad that she came, because she exchanged "Zhouyi Family Affairs" with a young lady who shares the same interest!
"Zhou Yi Family Affairs" is a compilation of the contents mentioned in Yi Hanxing and Zhou Yizi's diaries, letters, and various letter manuscripts left by their friends, showing Yi Hanxing and Zhou Yizi from various angles.
Yue Chengzhi, who has already become a fan of Yi Hanxing, couldn't be happier to get this book.
By the way, at the book club, Yue Chengzhi also added the young lady as a friend, and the two of them chatted about Zhou Yizi and Yi Hanxing's gossip for two hours.
"Actually, I think the coolest part of this book is the message to the reader on the title page," Yue Chengzhi recommended it to the young lady. "Here, Yi Hanxing writes: 'People say that a person's right and wrong should be judged after their coffin is laid, and that merits and demerits should be left to future generations to judge. But I always feel that future generations don't know what exactly happened to you, so their judgment may not be accurate. I must admit that I really can't stand people's arbitrary criticism. After much deliberation, I decided to write this autobiographical novel. This article is completely true and has no fabrications. Any similarities are simply because real life experiences are more exciting than stories.' That's absolutely cool, isn't it?!"
Following Yue Chengzhi's instructions, the young lady flipped open the title page of the article. Seeing Yi Hanxing's handwritten words printed on the white paper, she couldn't help but sigh, "Academician Yi is truly a man who dares to speak and act. In fact, I discovered this from reading Zhou Yi's family affairs. He is a man who dares to act and take responsibility. The letter that opens my book was sent by Yi Hanxing's parents to her eldest brother, scolding him for helping her stay home."
Upon hearing this, Yue Chengzhi quickly turned to the first page and said, "It's written in the novel that the author ran away from home because of the feudal ideas at home, and then went to the organization's study class."
"I still remember that her friends wrote to her later, scolding her for being a bad person and selling
friend. "
"Is there such a thing?" Yue Chengzhi widened his eyes.
"It's said that her friend was supposed to be on leave to visit her family, but she recommended her friend to the organization, saying she was more suitable for the job. Then her friend worked overtime for over a year, and when she was finally released, she immediately wrote a letter to scold her."
"Hahaha, it's okay to betray your friends for the country." Yue Chengzhi laughed.
After laughing, Yue Chengzhi still remembered to say: "I read in the book that I also found the red tourist attraction in our hometown. It is said that the working people took less than a month to forge the ancient tomb of the enemy. It was actually the contribution of Yi Hanxing and her brother Tian Guangqian!"
"I know that too! It's said that the local government originally planned to demolish the ancient tomb and use the land to build a grand auditorium, but Yi Hanxing even wrote a letter to the local government, advising them that although the tomb was fake, it could be used as a red tourism attraction. So your hometown is actually there!"
The young lady continued, "So my hometown is also related to Yi Hanxing! The village where her father was knocked down is in our county, and it is now a national model rural revitalization demonstration site!"
"And after reading the letter, I found out that the luxury brand bag we're so fond of now, which costs tens of thousands of dollars, was actually made by her cousin!"
"And, my favorite novelist actually went to a Japanese literary gathering with her. You have to see that gathering, it's outrageous! It's amazing that the Japanese managed to survive! It makes me want to read "The Legend of Zhang Gong" to see just how legendary it is! And her life was simply too legendary! The American godfather of pornography, the prototype of Hollywood movies, is actually connected to her!"
"And that Spy Star! It really fits the Japanese style of naming! Hahaha, not only was she shocked, I was shocked too!"
"Hahaha, this nickname is really embarrassing. The key is that Yi Hanxing even wrote in her autobiography that one of her regrets in life is that she doesn't understand how the Japanese discovered her!"
"I just feel like if her story were made into a TV series, people who don't know her would definitely call her a Mary Sue. How could someone combine so many elements into one life? Not only is she a scientist and a writer, but she's also a veteran spy and a feminist pioneer, and she also has a childhood sweetheart who loves her so much?"
"Actually, I think it's normal. That era really saw many legendary figures, and each of their lives was even more extraordinary than the stories in novels. There were Yi Hongxing, the two men from Yi Hanxing who always had flashes of inspiration when deciphering codes faster than a computer could calculate; Tian Guangqian's brother, who everyone thought was a gigolo but was actually a high-ranking member of the Standing Committee of our underground party; Zhou Yizhi, whose entire family was highly educated and almost monopolized the scientists in the Three People's Party government, and his family through marriage; Long Aotian, who went from being penniless to becoming the godfather of the Lighthouse and even became a will; Tian Xiuxin, a genius designer who single-handedly broke racial prejudice and was highly sought after in the 20th century; and a patriotic writer with a prolific body of work and a vastly varied literary style..."
"But despite this, they can't even make it to the top of the Legend List." Yue Chengzhi complained.
"Yes, after all, the battle for the top spot between He Yuexun and Zhang Gong was really fierce."
“So is The Legend of Zhang Gong really an autobiographical novel?”
"Today I asked and checked in again on Weibo: Who is more handsome, He Yuexun or Zhang Gong?"!
