After rebirth, I became a great writer.

Chapter 294 Chen Tianhong's Height!

"Why do I often have tears in my eyes, because I love this land deeply."

When everyone was feeling emotional, Chen Tianhong repeated it again with affection.

After everyone's eyes returned to him, he continued with emotion.

"I love this land because I am a creature on this land, and I love this land because it is the destination of my soul! So I came up with an idea to use science fiction to describe the stories that happened on this land. To expand and write down from the perspective of the author, and thus "Three-Body Problem" came into being.

And the charm of "Three-Body" comes from Chinese civilization!

Huaxia Kingdom is a country full of sense of the future. It has never stopped exploring and imagining the universe and space since ancient times!
Not long ago, three astronauts successfully returned to the voyage. One of the female aviation heroes picked a "star" for her child and came back. Under the hard-core technology, she wrote the romance of science fiction. Although the universe is vast, deep space There are also footprints of China Airlines people.

Because of this, it provides a fertile soil for science fiction, and many science fiction writers have been born, such as my teacher Cao Xingkui, who is familiar to everyone!
The teacher once told me that the end of science fiction is Chinese culture, and understanding Chinese science fiction is a key to unlock China's modernization.

I added a lot of Chinese cultural elements to the stories in "The Three-Body Problem", including the narrative themes are mostly oriental images, whether it is the early Ye Wenjie, Wang Miao, Luo Ji, or the later Guan Yifan, Cheng Xin
These main characters are all Chinese, and their image is not only in their Chinese names, but more importantly, their personalities all bear the shadow of Chinese culture.

And I also added some oriental philosophy, history, politics, economy and other multiple factors to give it more modern things, so that it is not limited to the "image of China", but based on the local situation, to show everyone the unique oriental sci-fi style”

When hearing this, Yan Shanqing and Zou Yingde both nodded. "Three-Body Problem" is indeed a science fiction novel with oriental elements, and what Chen Tianhong said is very true.

However, they still have a small question, that is, how much Cao Xingkui helped Chen Tianhong when he created "The Three-Body Problem". Listening to Chen Tianhong's meaning, it seems to have given guiding opinions.

"Old Zou, did Lao Cao really say that? Why haven't I heard of it!"

Yan Shanqing asked a question.

"Old Yan, I really don't know about this. I may have said it. After all, when it comes to understanding science fiction, Lao Cao is definitely a master."

"Really?"

Yan Shanqing prolonged his voice in doubt. He remembered that when he talked with Cao Xingkui last time, his understanding of "Three-Body Problem" was not even as good as his own.

At the same time, Cao Xingkui in front of the TV was also asking himself, did he really say that?
Well, I must have said that!Tianhong is a very honest kid!I do often tell him stories about Chinese science fiction culture.

"Oh, it seems that I am old! I can't even remember what I said!"

Writers from the western camp, such as Barker and Brooke, felt uncomfortable when they heard Chen Tianhong's words. Their approval of "The Three-Body Problem" does not mean they approve of oriental science fiction, which is two different things.

The reason why they voted for "Three-Body Problem" in the end was that they were shocked by the plot concept and grand imagination of "Three-Body Problem". Among them, the most important factor was the first part of "Three-Body Problem". In the story about Ye Wenjie, there is some criticism of a certain era in China.

In addition, the structure and wording of the whole novel are also very rigorous, and almost every idea can be supported by a basis, which is very in line with the requirements of Westerners for science fiction.

That's why Barker and the others finally decided to give "Three-Body" No.1. If it's a pure oriental science fiction, like "The Wandering Earth", let alone No.1, it will be very difficult to enter the top three.

It's not that the quality is not enough, but that they will suppress it. Just like Abbas, the African youth, even Hou Bangxiu's works may not be able to win if the quality is really judged.

Just when they felt uncomfortable with Chen Tianhong's remarks, the next words made them feel "violated" again!
"Of course, this is only the plot concept of the first part of "Three-Body Problem". In the second and third parts, the story is not limited to the local area. I have expanded my vision to the world, and the protagonist's perspective is not from the Chinese nation. , but the nations of the world, which in turn involve the fate of the entire human race.

It is true that I paint a terrifying universe in which human civilization encounters many difficulties in its endless exploration of space, but in the face of global catastrophe, human beings unite as a race and deal with it together This disaster is facing the future together.

At this time, mankind has become a whole, including the villain "Three-Body Civilization" in the book, which is also a whole.

And when faced with the attack of a higher civilization, everyone faces the same situation, and there is no distinction between first come and first come!
For example, after Cheng Xin and Sophon (the robot of Trisolaran) saw two messages on the broadcast written in the language of Trisolaran and the language of Earth, they embraced each other excitedly. At this moment, they represented It's the Milky Way!
The final ending of the story, whether it is the civilization of human beings or Trisolarans, has been fragmented, but as I described in the book.
In the long night of the Orion spiral arm of the Milky Way, there are two meteors of civilization passing by, and the universe remembers their light!

So I think that whether it is the culture of the East, the West, or other continents, everyone has their own splendid civilization history. Even if there are some differences, art and culture do not respect national boundaries, and in the end they all lead to the same goal.

It’s just that before that, we all have to go a long way, and what we should think about is how to walk the road side by side, instead of distinguishing between high and low, and we shouldn’t deliberately group together to target”

"Well said! It's so... so beautiful!"

Hearing this, Abbas, who was seated in the seat, couldn't bear the excitement in his heart, and shouted out loudly, the first three characters of him were in his native language, and the latter was the Chinese he had just learned.

Chen Tianhong's last few words spoke to his heart thoroughly, yes!Everyone has their own history of civilization, and even the history and culture of some of your western countries are not as good as ours.

After all, we have a history of thousands of years. If there were not some changes in modern times, maybe the president of the cultural and educational organization is an African nationality. If that is the case, would you still dare to suppress us?

Of course, the reality is that there are not so many ifs. Abbas also admitted that they are currently at an absolute disadvantage in terms of overall national strength and international status.

But even so, Abbas and the others are still persisting and working hard for the country, the land they love, and themselves, to prove internationally that their literature also has the same dazzling brilliance!

At this moment, Abbas has already regarded Chen Tianhong as a role model, and he hopes that one day in the future, he can do the same, single-handedly pushing oriental science fiction to a world-class level with "Three-Body Problem", winning Approved by all, prove it for your own country!

He believes that this day will definitely come, because he has hope!
"well said!"

"That's right!"

"There is no distinction between high and low cultures in all countries, and they should be treated equally, and the quality of the works should speak for themselves."

If Chen Tianhong's words resonated with many writers suppressed by the Western camp, then Abbas' applause ignited their long-suppressed dissatisfaction.

They responded loudly, and gave Chen Tianhong the applause with all their strength, and gave it to this young man who dared to say a fair word.

The applause and applause in the great hall at this moment is the best expression of what is fair and free.

"This kid really gave me a surprise! Art and culture know no borders, and they all go to the same goal. What we want to think about is to stand side by side, not to fight against each other. There is a height!"

Yan Shanqing said with emotion again, he has already been emotional several times in this awards ceremony because of Chen Tianhong.

Even now he is a little ashamed, because when he selects works, he is actually selfish. He puts a little bit of water on the works of some eastern countries, and he treats western countries with colored glasses. Those small countries in Bath didn't care much.

Chen Tianhong's words, nothing else, just talking about height, few people can compare, because everyone is not a saint, who can be completely selfless?
"Old Yan, I've already said that you don't have to worry about Tianhong's speech at all. I feel that he is not only a writer, but also a speaker!"

Zou Yingde replied with a smile, he didn't pick up the topic of height.

Because from his point of view, Chen Tianhong was obviously trying to heighten the atmosphere. How could a child like him have no selfishness? He has heights, but he is not a saint.

The reason is very simple. Judging from the role of Cheng Xin in "The Three-Body Problem", Chen Tianhong will never be a "Mother".

In fact, Zou Yingde guessed right. Chen Tianhong is not a saint. The reason why he said this is to show his own image, and also to show the image of representing China. After all, a big country needs the height of a big country!

Secondly, those people in diss western countries, those who engage in petty tricks and deliberately suppress the culture of other countries, Chen Tianhong looks down on this kind of behavior, the quality of the works is not as good as others, so he just relies on the number of people to play vagabond.

For example, in the Hugo Awards in the previous life, the reason why very few Asian science fiction writers won the award is that they played vagabond, not to mention that the translation must be in English, and it is unfair to say that most of the voting committee members are from Western countries.

Although the Huaxia Kingdom in this world is better than the previous life, it is also facing a one-to-many situation, so this is the third purpose of Chen Tianhong's remarks, which is to unite all useful forces and break the monopoly of western writers situation,
From the point of view of the actual effect, it has been achieved temporarily, among other things, when there are competitions in the future, the committee members of countries like Abbas will definitely vote for Chen Tianhong, and they will also have a sympathy for Chinese writers. The attitude will be much warmer.

Only in this way, the faces of Buck and the others became ugly. They could all hear Chen Tianhong's insinuating sarcasm, and they also understood the other meaning of Chen Tianhong's poem. Didn't it mean that they deliberately suppressed oriental writers before? works!
Okay, we admit it!
But isn’t what you wrote too much? We don’t treat the East as much as we treat Africa!You need to be so sad and angry!
Another storm, another angry river, how tragic it was.

Buck and the others wouldn't know that this song "I Love This Land" came from the time when the land of China faced invasion in the previous life, so it naturally has the tragic and solemnity of the times.

Chen Tianhong on the stage also saw the displeasure on the faces of writers from the Western camp. He smiled and continued.

"Among the myriad possible futures, no matter how prosperous our literature may be, on long time scales, those that do not completely cast aside prejudices are bleak.

I am very glad that we put aside the controversy, so I thank the organizing committee again for the recognition of "Three-Body", because this is not only an acknowledgment of me, but also an acknowledgment of oriental science fiction!

Today, whether for me or for all of us who love science fiction, we can regard it as a new beginning.

Finally, I would like to thank all those who like and support "Three-Body" and thank you for sharing my fantasy world. In fact, in the grand science fiction world, I only made a small contribution.

thank you all!I'm done speaking! "

After saying this, Chen Tianhong bowed deeply to all the representatives of the Great Hall and the people in front of the camera.

His bow made the representatives in the great hall awe-inspiring, and everyone involuntarily stood up and applauded in return, even Buck and the others stood up as well.

"Mr. Barker, I am very glad that "Three-Body Problem" is No.1, otherwise, when the book is actually released and sold, we will really feel ashamed."

Brook whispered to his old friend.

Buck didn't reply, he looked at the young man on the stage with complicated eyes, and he understood what Brook meant.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether a work of the level of "Three-Body Problem" wins a prize or not, just as it doesn't matter whether Einstein's theory of relativity wins a Nobel Prize in his previous life, because its own value has already been recognized by most people. agree.

If "The Three-Body Problem" can't get No.1, it's not a pity for "Three-Body Problem", but a pity for this International Youth Literature Competition.

However, Chen Tianhong's last sentence still gave them a step, and he stopped speaking just right, and finally said humbly that compared with the world's science fiction writers, he did not do enough, not enough.

Especially the final bow, that represents the height!

Bow to whom?
Thanks to the readers, and to all those who supported The Three-Body Problem, including Barker and the others.

This is the height, this is the measurement, so Buck, Brook and the others stood up to respond.

Of course, this is just everyone's thoughts. In fact, when Chen Tianhong bowed, he was still slandering in his heart.

I am not bowing down to you Westerners, you just wait for me, and then dare to deliberately suppress oriental writers and engage in petty tricks. I have enough works to beat you, and I will also use "your works" to beat you.

How tall is Chen Tianhong? Let's judge for ourselves!

However, there was a small episode at the end, that is, the guest who presented the award to Chen Tianhong was the President of the United States, Besley.

When he presented the trophy to Chen Tianhong, he also said a word.

"Mr. Chen is very talented as an orator! It's a pity that you are not American, otherwise, your future is boundless!"

This future refers to "political future", which implies that Chen Tianhong's eloquence can compete for the presidency.

As for whether this is a joke or serious, it depends on how to understand it.
