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

Chapter 317: The depressing masterpiece is online! The birth of "To Live"! He is a role model for contemporary young students!

The Forbidden City.

Downstairs of Tiananmen City, people came and went.

Jiang Hai had never been to Peking. If he was not following the British delegation, then he would not be qualified to come to such a glorious and formal occasion?
Under the gaze of the crowd.

Under media coverage.

On top of the city tower.

Jiang Hai was awarded the [China-UK Friendship Exchange Ambassador Medal] on his chest.

Do you want to ask why Jiang Hai came to this place?
Why can a young man of such age stand on this city wall and be admired by thousands of people?

This has to mention his contribution to promoting Chinese culture.
If you ask which Chinese person is more famous abroad, there may still be some controversy.

Some people would say Bruce Lee.

Some people would say Teresa Teng.

Of course, some people will say Jackie Chan
But if you ask which Chinese writer is the most popular abroad?
Then there is no doubt that this person
It can only be Jiang Hai!
This title is not groundless, but the result of real hard work!
Back then, at a French writers' exchange seminar, he won over the competition with his book "The Old Man and the Sea" and became famous in the world literary world. The exhibit "Forty Scenes of the Old Summer Palace" that he won back from the Louvre in France is still treasured in the Palace Museum.

Then, directly at the British writers' conference, a book "And Then There Were None" directly created the idea of ​​classical detective literature and became the culmination of the Blizzard Hill murder genre.

Another book, Murder on the Orient Express, directly reshaped British law. To this day, the British literary community is still discussing passionately and intensely the protagonist Poirot's behavior of helping the "murderer" escape legal punishment.
Some people think:
"When the law cannot punish bad guys, there is nothing wrong with using your own means to give them the punishment they deserve!"

Of course, some people think:
"If everyone can arbitrarily use lynching to enforce their so-called justice, then..."

"Where is the dignity of the law?"

With unquestionable strength, we won back the precious Liao tri-color Arhat statue that had been lost overseas from the UK.

Today, this arhat statue is treasured in the Old Summer Palace Ruins Exhibition Hall.

Just imagine, a Chinese writer, standing on the stage of world literary history, showed the world the unique style of Chinese writers, and also won back two priceless cultural relics for the country. Just imagine such a contribution.
Why can't he stand on this city wall?

See Jiang Hai finish the award ceremony.

A group of media reporters immediately went forward to greet them.

Along the way, people kept asking him questions:
"Mr. Jiang Hai, what do you think about being named the China-UK Exchange Ambassador? Could you briefly share your thoughts?"

"Mr. Jiang Hai, do you have any plans to write a new book in the future? If you have any plans to write a new work in the future, can you briefly reveal it?"

"Mr. Jiang Hai, can you share with us how you suddenly had this epiphany that led to such a dramatic change in two years?"

"Mr. Jiang Hai, please wait a moment."

In fact, Jiang Hai never expected that he could receive so many honorary medals as a student.

So far, Jiang Hai has received honorary titles including but not limited to:

Ambassador for the publicity and promotion of Chinese culture.

One of China's top ten outstanding young writers.

Exchange envoy of the China-France Cultural Mission.

The most popular Chinese writer among British people.
On the way from the Forbidden City to the Great Hall of the People, Jiang Hai didn't say anything.

In fact, Jiang Hai was not pretending to be cool. He did not answer the media's questions purely out of...
too busy!
There's no way back!

Imagine a scene like this: you come down from the city wall with a confused look on your face, and you don’t even have time to react.

In just a moment, a group of people rushed towards him frantically.

This side is a reporter from CCTV.

Over there, that's the BBC host.

Each side holds a different view and starts to throw questions at you one after another almost frantically.
Just dealing with it is enough to make your scalp tingle.

What's more, it allows you to conduct a suitable interview within a limited time?
It was also based on the enthusiasm for order on the scene that Jiang Hai saw so many reporters rushing towards him.

I was so scared that I made Zhou Xun's classic expression:
"There are so many people."

Afterwards, there was nothing more to say.

Arrival at the City Hall.

Jiang Hai’s current mission is to witness the group photo of Queen Elizabeth and the British Prime Minister as the China-UK exchange ambassador.

After more than 20 years, Queen Elizabeth II visited China again, and this time she moved from Hong Kong Island to the Forbidden City.
Such a historical event is definitely worth commemorating!

"Click——"

The picture is frozen with the river and the sea in the center of the image.

To his left is Queen Elizabeth.

To his right is the current British Prime Minister.

As the host, Jiang Hai had a bright smile on his face, showing off his host style to the fullest.

As for Gwen?

Elizabeth V
She was standing beside Queen Elizabeth, looking at Jiang Hai with a long-lost and brilliant smile.
Just don't be too happy!
Honestly speaking, sometimes it’s not others’ fault for thinking the wrong thing, but the situation of these two people.
It makes people think more!
"Princess Gwen," said Tie Ning, chairman of the Chinese Writers Association. Looking at Gwen's smiling face, he couldn't help but speculate, "Could it be that she has fallen in love with Jiang Hai?"

"Is there something wrong with these two???"

Liu Zhenyun, a veteran of many battles, immediately felt something was wrong when he saw this scene:
"The way Gwen looks at Jiang Hai"

"Why is there a hint of threading?"

“This is not right.”

It has to be said that if the future Queen of England falls in love with a Chinese writer and eventually gets married, if such news gets out——

That is bound to cause a tremor in Northern Europe!
Imagine if the future Queen of England was pregnant with Jiang Hai's child and was eventually born into this world.
Wouldn’t this child then become the future ruler of Britain?

You know, Elizabeth's family currently has only one daughter, Queen Elizabeth V. No matter who Gwen marries in the future, whether the remaining children are male or female,
Her offspring will definitely be the next prince or queen of England!

If the future Queen or King of England has a biological father who is a writer from China, then a descendant with Chinese blood will become the future successor of the British royal family.
Liu Zhenyun didn’t even dare to think about how shocked the Nordic media would be!
"Coward, I dare to think!"

As the chairman of the China Writers Association, Tie Ning actually hopes that Jiang Hai can be with Queen Elizabeth V.

Even so, our Chinese literary world is indeed slightly lacking in artistic achievements compared to the British.
but!

If this marriage really happens
So what if I’m ridiculed?
Do you want to see who your queen belongs to?
If a Chinese writer could marry the Queen of England, and if the future Queen of England could give birth to a child born from the rivers and seas, wouldn't this become a beautiful story?
"I have a feeling that our Chinese literary world will be carried forward"

Get down from the exhibition stand.

Bid farewell to the guests and reporters at the scene.

Jiang Hai found a deserted place and began to try smoking.

Unexpectedly, he hadn't even lit his cigarette yet.

Princess Gwen, dressed in a black dress, walked straight towards him:
"Have you forgotten that you are now the World Anti-Smoking Ambassador of the United Nations Organization?"

"You are an anti-smoking ambassador, and you take the lead in smoking in public."

"I'm afraid this is not right?"

If it is an ordinary occasion, as an anti-smoking ambassador, you can hide in a place where no one is around and secretly smoke a few cigarettes to satisfy your craving, which is nothing. But please don't forget where you are now.
This is the Great Hall!

How many writers dare to smoke in such an occasion?
Just when Gwen wanted to complain: "I think you want to eat purple bullets"

Unexpectedly, before she could even open her mouth, Jiang Hai raised the Rick Fifth Generation in his hand:
"I quit smoking cigarettes, what does it have to do with my e-cigarettes?"

"Although I am the United Nations anti-smoking ambassador, it should not be illegal for me to smoke Snow Leopard e-cigarettes."

Why can a writer be like this?
abstract?

As a member of the British royal family, Gwen has met many writers, but she has rarely seen one as good as Jiang Hai.
A writer of both talent and abstraction?

It must be admitted that no matter whether it is "The Old Man and the Sea" or "And Then There Were None", the writer who can write these two works is...
Definitely not mediocre!

But logically speaking, the more talented a writer is, the more modest and low-key he should be, right?
Just when Princess Gwen was thinking.

"Excuse me, both of you." Tie Ning, chairman of the China Writers Association, walked straight towards the two of them, "I have something I want to discuss with you two."

"There will be a book signing event at Peking University at 1pm."

May Fourth Youth Day is coming soon.

Tie Ning wanted to invite Jiang Hai and Gwen to Peking University through this event, and at the same time, he wanted to raise the popularity of Peking University.
You can also create some places for the two of you to be alone together!

Isn’t that great?
Even so, Tie Ning's plan was indeed very good.

But unfortunately, plans cannot keep up with changes, Gwen responded politely:
"I will be returning home with His Highness in the afternoon."

This time, Gwen followed the British delegation and stayed in China for only three days.

Two days, in Chenghai.

One day, it was in Peking.

Time is running out, how can I find time to go to Peking University?

Where is the time to attend any Youth Day activities?
Jiang Hai and Gwen had the same idea:
"Don't look for me, I'm already tired enough."

Unexpectedly, Tie Ning flatly rejected Jiang Hai's words:

"You can't, you have to go!"

The May Fourth Youth Day was a protest activity spontaneously organized by countless Chinese students in 1919 when the country and the nation were facing life and death!
Due to censorship reasons, it is not convenient to go into too much detail about the specific history here.

Everyone just needs to be clear about one thing -

The origin of this great event is Peking University!
"You are now the representative of Chinese youth," Tie Ning looked at Jiang Hai seriously, "Do you still remember the speech you made at the Elysee Palace in France about Chinese youth?"

"That speech sparked a huge discussion at Peking University."

Young people should have a strong body and positive thoughts!

I still remember that Jiang Hai stood alone in the Elysee Palace in France.

In front of the world's people, he made the following statement:

"So the responsibility today does not lie with others, but with our young people. If the young are wise, the country will be wise; if the young are rich, the country will be rich; if the young are strong, the country will be strong; if the young are independent, the country will be independent; if the young are free, the country will be free; if the young are progressive, the country will be progressive; if the young are better than Europe, the country will be better than Europe; if the young are the most powerful on the earth, the country will be the most powerful on the earth."

When I was a young man wearing bright clothes and angry horses, I lived up to my youth and knew it.

Just imagine, a young man in his prime, in front of the world, shouting out:
"The Chinese nation has stood up!"

How passionate is this?
What a great ambition this is!
Not only in Peking University, among contemporary young students, a considerable number of students already regard Jiang Hai as a role model for their lifelong pursuit!
Even though Jiang Hai has achieved so much at this age.
No one can beat it!

but!

Even if we cannot achieve his results, we can learn from his spirit of self-improvement.
This is also excellent!
"Peking University is the birthplace of the May Fourth Movement and the cradle of China's new ideas and enlightenment," Tie Ning walked up to Jiang Hai and persuaded him earnestly, "Now that the May Fourth anniversary is approaching, so many young students regard you as a role model."

"Can you bear to see so many people return empty-handed?"

"You don't want so many outstanding young people to be disappointed because they can't see you on this sacred and important day."

People, living in this world, always have something to pursue.

If my existence can shine and warm others, it can make them feel the power of hope.
Is this possible or not?

Seeing that the stalemate was at a standstill, Tie Ning's request to trouble himself was indeed justified.

Without giving it too much thought, Jiang Hai could only nod helplessly:
"go."

"Don't say anything, it will be better if I go."

The meeting in the conference hall did not last long.

After bidding farewell to Queen Elizabeth, the British Prime Minister, Princess Gwen, and a group of leaders one by one.
Jiang Hai set off decisively and headed to Peking University's Weiming Lake after being picked up by the Peking University school bus.

It is worth mentioning that.

As they were about to part, for some unknown reason, Princess Gwen looked at him with a meaningful look:
"I have a feeling that—"

"We'll see each other soon."

In response to this, Jiang Hai's answer was also very decisive:
"See you fucking later!"

Of course, due to the other person's identity, it is not convenient to say such vulgar words.

I was almost saying goodbye.

But before he could finish the words, Jiang Hai temporarily changed them to:

"Goodbye, take care of yourself."

“I’m looking forward to that day.”

Goodbye is actually a very romantic word. It is both the end of separation and the prelude to reunion.

Goodbye is just for a better meeting.

So Jiang Hai was not too sad about the separation of everyone.

Rather than being immersed in the grief of parting.

It is better to focus on the present and think about how to go next.
"If the youth of today regard me as a role model, then as a role model for this generation of youth—"

"Of course I should play the role of a good role model!"

Let’s temporarily ignore the achievements I have made in the European and American literary circles.

Jiang Hai fell into a unique and magical state of thinking.

If.
Japan has "No Longer Human", which can make Japanese youth fall into a state of confusion.

South Korea has "The Crucible" and "Hope", which can make South Korean youth cry and even begin to awaken.
So what does China have?
Judging from the current situation, it seems that China has not yet produced a "healing" work that is powerful enough to dominate?
That is what Jiang Hai was thinking about.

Which book can give contemporary young students both spiritual and physical encouragement?

Which book can bring a unique and historical impact to contemporary young students?

Suddenly, a book title popped up in his mind:
"Then there is only 'To Live'."
