According to a reliable source, Baowen Weekly's sales in a single day may have exceeded 400,000. Regardless of whether this news is true or not, it's enough to prove his popularity.
Actually, the other nineteen authors are also quite tragic. They've completely lost their luster under Su Shichen's shadow. There were supposedly twenty articles in Baowen Weekly, but now it seems only "The Heartbroken" is left. Almost all the comments and reports are about "The Heartbroken." This is truly tragic.
Of course, there are benefits as well. The names of these 19 authors have been successfully recognized by more people.
The wave of sad people lasted for a long time. When the wave was about to end, suddenly a very unexpected person stood up and commented on this article.
This person is Nalan Xifeng, a rather poetic name, though of course he doesn't write poetry. Nalan Xifeng is a Chinese bioelectronics expert, renowned both domestically and internationally. Such a prominent figure actually published an article in a magazine praising "The Heartbroken"—
"Although I like to read science fiction, I have never had a favorable impression of it. For ordinary readers, the author's wild imagination of the future science fiction is very exciting, but for me, I can't help but find mistakes in the novel every time, which even makes it impossible for me to concentrate on reading.
Recently, two assistants in my laboratory have been discussing the same novel - "The Sad One". This made me very interested, so I read it and was attracted by the protagonist He Xi's spirit of research. To be more precise, I was moved and involved in the story!
No one except his mother understood him, but He Xi didn't give up and persisted. This reminds me of us. When ordinary people think of researchers, the image of them in white coats, dissecting mice with tools comes to mind. This image is like a fixed image of us.
Some researchers' research is useless in their current era, and they face widespread misunderstanding. This is like He Xi in the article. His "Microcontinuum" was arguably useless back then, but 150 years later, it became the foundation of a unified universe. This is the nature of the times. Not all researchers are eccentric scientists. Perhaps, like He Xi, we are all heartbroken individuals, heartbroken on the path of science.
This is the first time that I forgot to look for mistakes and calmed down to read a science fiction novel completely.
Of course, there is one more thing I want to add. Micro-continuity is the basis of time dimension backtracking technology, and..."
What follows is a lot of popular knowledge. I estimate that out of a hundred people who buy this newspaper, no more than five can understand it.
Although Nalan Xifeng corrected the overall theory at the end of the review, the entire speech was full of praise for the short story "The Sad One".
This is surprising!
You know, Nalan Xifeng used to find all kinds of shortcomings in science fiction novels and criticize them. When did he ever praise them? This is definitely the first time!
Even China's Galaxy Awards has revealed that both the Best Short Story and Best Novel awards may be won by one person, and it goes without saying who that person is.
It was because of Nalan Xifeng's comment that Baowen Weekly's sales were soaring. Is printing 50,000 more copies a lot? No, keep going! Print another 50,000!
Let "The Heartbreaker" be popular for a while longer, let the trend be more intense!
Readers who like science fiction want to read it, and even readers who are not interested in science fiction want to see what kind of article can deserve Nalan Xifeng's praise.
