A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!

Chapter 209 The birth of "Sowon"! A sensation in South Korea! Hemp ropes are cut at the thinnest part, and misfortunes only come to the unfortunate!
Don't worry about whether you are copying a book or writing a book.

Don't worry about whether it was intentional or accidental.

Since embarking on the path of literature, Jiang Hai has always held only one concept:

He wants to use words to make people aware of suffering, draw strength from it and cherish their current lives more.

To date, has Jiang Hai fulfilled his promise?

Yes, of course he did.

"The Wanderings of Sanmao" makes children realize that peace is hard-won and makes everyone cherish the happy life they have now.

"The Crucible" makes everyone understand that even in peacetime, there is still darkness that cannot be hidden under the sun, and all living beings suffer.

Compared with those authors who advocate depicting a beautiful life and only know how to sing praises all day long, the emergence of a critical writer like Jiang Hai——

It is simply a breath of fresh air in the literary world?
Describe suffering rather than glorify it.

Know the world but not the world.

These two sentences should be the best description of a writer like Jiang Hai?
To be honest, after writing "The Crucible", Jiang Hai actually intended to take a vacation for a while.

Taking advantage of this time, he wanted to go to a concert to see how David Tao escaped on stage, and at the same time, learn something and accumulate some writing materials.

But
Did this unexpected letter disrupt his plans?

Studio, seminar room.

On the stage, the studio leaders, led by CAFA Vice President Song Huimei, gave eloquent speeches.

Offstage, Jiang Hai sat in the corner of the conference room, staring at his mobile phone screen.

He frowned the whole time and said nothing.

After a while, when Jiang Hai had read most of the letter in the mailbox, he could no longer suppress his anger:

"Is there such a beast in this world?"

Ansan, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea.

A middle-aged man in his early fifties, with an untidy beard and a slightly decadent look.

He was staring at the TV screen with lifeless eyes.

It can be seen that the house has not been cleaned for a long time, and cigarette butts and beer bottles are scattered everywhere.

He curled up on the sofa, staring at the TV with empty and confused eyes.

On TV, KBS TV station is broadcasting live the Blue Dragon Film Awards Ceremony, which is held every three years in South Korea.

The host, wearing a gorgeous dress, announced to the thousands of viewers waiting in front of the TV:
"The work that won the Best Film Award at the 36th Blue Dragon Film Festival in South Korea is a realistic work directed by director Huang Donghe and written by Chinese writer and screenwriter Jiang Hai——"

""furnace"!"

"Please invite Director Huang Donghe to come on stage to receive the award."

The Blue Dragon Film Awards is an award established by the Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to promote the revitalization of Korean films and the development of popular culture. As the most watched and most prestigious film award in Korea, each Blue Dragon Film Award will spark a huge discussion and response.

The Blue Dragon Film Award is somewhat similar to the Golden Rooster Award in China, but compared to the Golden Rooster Award, the Blue Dragon Film Award is...

More discussion.

More valuable.

Its recognition among the Korean people is unparalleled, and it is considered the supreme hall of the Korean film industry.

If we were to select the most watched and influential film of the year, the name of this film would be——

It can only be The Crucible!
Regardless of other things, just looking at the data on paper, the box office of "The Crucible" finally remained at 36 billion won. 36 billion won is equivalent to about 190 million yuan in RMB. According to the final box office data, the number of audiences who went to the cinema to support the movie "The Crucible" exceeded 20 million.

At first glance, the box office performance of 1.9 billion yuan seems to be just that?
In the domestic film market where box office revenues easily exceed 30 to 40 billion, this box office result may not even be called good, and can only be described as "mediocre"?
But don't forget, this is Korea!

And not in China!
According to official data, South Korea's current population is around 5200 million.

The population is only 50 million, and the number of viewers who went to the cinema to support "The Crucible" is -

It has exceeded 20 million?
What a terrifying number this is?
This is equivalent to if you go to the streets of Seoul and randomly pick three passers-by, on average one in three of them will have walked into the cinema to support "The Crucible".

I would like to ask, is there any movie in China that has achieved such an achievement?
"Wolf Warrior" or "Hi, Mom"?
Putting aside the box office performance, let's look at the impact that "The Crucible" has brought to Korean society. A movie can make millions of people sign a petition to request a retrial of a wrongful conviction that has been sealed for thirteen years. With the joint petition of hundreds of thousands of legal practitioners, the movie shocked the Blue House. Finally, with the efforts of hundreds of congressmen, the Korean law was successfully amended, the murderer was severely punished, and justice was given to the victim.
Let alone the domestic situation, even if we look at the entire world film history, let us ask——

Which film can achieve such an impact?

Which screenwriter can achieve such brilliant achievements?
But this is such an exaggerated plot that even novels dare not write it like this, but
Let The Crucible do it!

Let Jiang Hai, a writer and screenwriter from China, do it!
If a movie like this with such brilliant achievements doesn’t win the Blue Dragon Award, who else will?
It can be said that there is absolutely no doubt that "The Crucible" won the 36th Best Film Award.

It has full gold content!

The Blue Dragon Film Awards judges were also very direct in their award speech for The Crucible:

【This is a film that changed the law, society, and the country. 】

Not only did director Hwang Dong Hyuk win the Best Director of the Year award at the Blue Dragon Film Festival for this film, but Jiang Hai, the author of the original novel of The Crucible and screenwriter of the film, also received the award from the Blue Dragon Film Festival.

Best Screenwriter of the Year!
Bestselling author of the year!
The most popular author of the year!
Normally, after each film awards list is announced, the winners should appear at the awards ceremony and go on stage to deliver their acceptance speeches.

However, after the Blue Dragon Film Festival, which is regarded as the highest honor by countless Korean actors, directors, and screenwriters, announced the news of Jiang Hai's winning
Jiang Hai himself did not arrive at the scene?

The scene of the award ceremony.

As the winner, Jiang Hai left only a sentence from the book "The Crucible" for the audience at the scene and watching the live broadcast:

"We fight all the way, not to change the world, but to not be changed by the world."

Jiang Hai is the first Chinese foreign screenwriter to win the Best Screenwriter of the Year award in the history of the Blue Dragon Film Festival.

Jiang Hai is also the first in the history of the Blue Dragon Film Festival to be named after the jury announced the list of winners.
Writers who did not arrive at the award ceremony?

We all deeply regret Jiang Hai's absence.

Whether it was the judges participating in the awards ceremony or the audience watching the live broadcast of the awards ceremony on TV, they all watched the moment the winners were announced.
Expressed the highest respect to Jiang Hai:

"This prosperous age is just as you wish."

“We really changed the world”

You want to ask Jiang Hai why he didn't go to the award ceremony in person?
First, Jiang Hai felt a little tired recently and he still had a lot of things to do.

Instead of traveling a long way to an unknown place to attend some inexplicable award ceremony, it is better to save time and have a good rest.

Second, not going to the scene was also for my own personal safety, after all, my identity is somewhat special.

If I go to Korea and get caught by some unknown book fan, and then perform a self-destruction offline together.
Maybe it's really too late to even cry?

Although Jiang Hai did not arrive at the award ceremony, his fame as a writer has spread to the Korean literary world and even the film and television industry.
That was a reputation that spread far and wide.

“The last conscience of the literary world.”

“A warrior who dares to speak up for the disadvantaged.”

"With his pen, he defended the last dignity of the lower classes"

Watching KBS TV station, the big screen kept scrolling, reporting on a writer named Jiang Hai.

At this moment, the middle-aged man curled up on the sofa, feeling exhausted.
It seems like there is a little hope again?
He threw the empty beer bottle in his hand into the messy trash can beside him, and then slowly sat up from the sofa.

"real."

“Can you give us poor people justice?”

Watching the news scrolling on the big screen, and KBS TV station's 24-hour continuous coverage of the Blue Dragon Film Festival award-winning work "The Crucible".

Those four big characters, like an extremely sharp knife, deeply hurt his eyes.

The dusty memories were awakened again.

I think of what my family went through ten years ago.

As if his emotions had completely collapsed, tears of regret began to flash in the corners of his eyes:
"My poor Nayoung."

My thoughts drifted uncontrollably back to ten years ago.

The man's name is Park Junzhi.

At that time, he was still an employee of a logistics company.

Although his income was not high at that time and life was rather difficult, fortunately he had a wife who loved him and a smart and lovely daughter.

If following the script of ordinary people, Park Junzhi should take on the role of head of the family. He would work hard in the logistics company and make money desperately. No matter how hard life is, he will give everything he has to create a relatively affluent living environment for his wife and daughter.

In fact, Park Junzhi did exactly that.

Although the work was tiring, every time he felt exhausted, as soon as he thought of his wife and daughter waiting for him at home, his fatigue would disappear in an instant and he would suddenly become full of energy.

If everything goes well, my daughter will grow up under my care.

She will meet a boy who loves her.

The two met, fell in love, and finally entered the palace of marriage, and then had children, and the two would smoothly form a new family.
Although the imagined life is very happy and perfect, all these fantasies——

It all ended on that nightmare-like morning.

To this day, Park Junzhi cannot forget that hellish scene.

He will never forget it in his life.

Naying, her 8-year-old daughter, was accidentally kidnapped and persecuted on her way to school.

After several hours of inhumane treatment, my daughter was covered in bruises and was dying. Although she was rushed to the hospital in time and the doctors tried their best to save her life, she was left with a lifelong disability. (Content has been modified)
Park Junzhi couldn't imagine——

What kind of beast is it?
How could they commit such a crime?

When I think back to the pictures of the scene sent to me by the police inspector
Park Junzhi was completely unable to control his emotions and his whole body was shaking with excitement.

It was like his emotions were completely out of control.

He grabbed his messy hair and sobbed as if he was about to collapse:

"If I'm not in a hurry to go to work that day, I'll send Nayoung to school before going to the company."

"If I had been more careful that day, I wouldn't have parted with Nayoung at that street corner."

"If I had remembered Nanzhu's instructions that day and not let Naying go to school alone, then all this would have happened."

“Will none of it happen?”

“Will everything change?”

After being subjected to this inhumane abuse, her daughter Naying became mentally ill and would swear at any adult male who came near her.
Their emotions will completely get out of control and they will become completely hysterical.

He was eventually sent to a mental hospital.
After learning about her daughter's tragic experience, mother Nanzhu cried all day and was extremely sad.
Suffering from breast cancer.

The expensive monthly treatment costs are an astronomical figure for this already poor family.

For Park Junzhi, every day in the past ten years has been like a year.

Under this tremendous pressure, even though he was only in his forties, he looked as old as a sixty-year-old man who was terminally ill and had lost his vitality.
In the past ten years, Park Junzhi lived in self-blame almost every day.

“If that day.”

It is worth mentioning that.

The culprit behind all this is the guy who raped his own daughter.

After committing such a heinous crime
He is still alive and well?

The devil named Cho Doo-soon, after attempting to kill someone and almost torturing his daughter Na-young to death.
In the end, he was only sentenced to twelve years in prison?

He was even granted a two-year reduction in sentence by the prison because of his good behavior in prison.

After destroying his family.
He only has to serve ten years in prison, and then he can be released and start a new life?
"The victim has become mentally ill, his family has been destroyed, and yet the punishment for the perpetrator is so light?"

"Is this reasonable?"

“That doesn’t make sense.”

During these ten years, Park Junzhi traveled everywhere. He went to the police station, the court, and even tried to expose the case to the media, but the result was
But still nothing works?
Each time, he made his appeal to the law enforcement agencies, demanding a retrial of the case and giving the perpetrators the punishment they deserved.

But every time, the answer he got from law enforcement was:
"We understand your feelings."

"But this case happened too long ago and the evidence chain is missing, so there is really no way to reopen the case."

Thinking back on his experience of having no one to turn to for help over the years, Park Jun-ji couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

"I just want justice!"

“But why is it so difficult?”

Perhaps, I am too depressed inside.

Or maybe, I haven't talked to anyone for a long time and want to find someone to talk to.

Sitting on the sofa, Park Junzhi also began to try to contact Jiang Hai's private email address left on the public platform under the book review of "The Crucible":

[Mr. Jiang Hai, I also have a secret that I have kept in my heart for a long time. If you have time now, please listen to me in detail.]

The Russian writer Tolstoy once said in his book Anna Karenina:

“Happy people are all alike; each unhappy person is unhappy in his own way.”

As the saying goes-

House seemingly endless rain.

Misfortunes always target the unfortunate people.

Life will not treat you well just because you are pitiful. It will only give you a head-on blow when you feel that you have reached the lowest point in your life.
Book review of "The Crucible".

Looking at this message from a man named [Father Park Junzhi], which can be described as heart-wrenching and heartbreaking.

Thought for a long time.

Jiang Hai frowned and suddenly sighed:

"This person's experience is definitely a real-life version of 'Hope'."
