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

Chapter 66: Banned books for participating in the competition?

To be honest, this conversation between Jiang Hai and Teacher Wang was not completely ineffective?
When I heard Jiang Hai say:

"Even though I can't compare to Jin Yong and Gu Long now, how do you know——"

"I definitely can't do that in the future?"

Teacher Wang was deeply touched.

Anyone who is a writer or studies literature has a sense of pride in his heart.

How can you write a good story without a little pride in your heart?

If one day, even you don’t believe in yourself, who can you expect to help you?

"Is this book really that good?" Teacher Wang took out his mobile phone in disbelief, and began to search for the title of "Two Thousand Years of Poor Man's Life" on the screen silently.

It’s better not to watch this.

As soon as I saw it, I couldn't stop smoking.

"Don't tell me, this novel"

"It seems like it's a bit of a waste of cigarettes."

Strangely enough, as a student, Jiang Hai couldn't figure it out anyway.
Why did he study Chinese language and literature? Why did he enter the Chinese department?
He also wants to learn English?

Chenghai Drama Academy has two graduation requirements for undergraduates:

One is the credits required to complete each course.

Another thing is that you must pass the College English Test Band 4.

The afternoon class is English.

When Jiang Hai returned to the classroom, he saw Yang Wei sitting in his seat with a sad face.
It seems like you are translating something?
In fact, Yang Wei's grades are pretty good. Students who can be admitted to Chengxi Opera are basically at an above-average level among the key high schools in various provinces and cities.

However, sometimes, questions like "Chinese to English" do seem a bit difficult to translate?
For example, if you want to translate the idiom "the future is bright", it seems to be a bit difficult to translate it into English?

"See you tomorrow?"

"The days ahead are long?"

Yang Wei tried to translate several English sentences, but he always felt like he was not getting the point.

Just as Yang Wei was thinking, Jiang Hai suddenly walked up to him:

"Does it take you so long to think about this level of English-Chinese translation?"

"Is this simple?" Yang Wei frowned.

"Isn't this simple?" Jiang Hai pointed at the translation in the book and explained to Yang Wei confidently, "There is a long way to go. We can just translate it in a localized form in Chinese."

"Let's fuck FangChang!"

Seeing Jiang Hai's confident look, Yang Wei silently gave Jiang Hai a thumbs up:

“Tsinghua University was heartbroken and Peking University was moved to tears.”

"It would be a real loss for Harvard if they didn't invite you to be a visiting professor."

Facing Yang Wei's praise, Jiang Hai cupped his hands:

"Thank you so much~"

Sitting back in his seat, Jiang Hai turned on his computer. He was thinking about checking the format of the final draft of "No Longer Human", and then finding out when the Asian Literary League would start, so that he could submit his manuscript.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I sat back in my seat, I heard the conversation between Monkey Zhang Wenle and his female classmate Li Qingxue.

The monkey stared at Li Qingxue beside him with a gossipy look on his face:

"I heard that you met your online crush in person yesterday?"

Li Qingxue nodded without denying, "Yes, yesterday afternoon."

"Is your blind date good-looking?" Monkey Zhang Wenle looked at Li Qingxue beside him confidently, "Compared to me, how does she look? Is she as handsome as me?"

It's like it's hard to put into words,
Li Qingxue uttered a sentence with a sigh:

"It makes me uncomfortable."

Hearing this, Zhang Wenle couldn't hold it in any longer, and he started laughing wildly:
"So, after meeting other boys, you still think I'm better, right?" "I made you reject me, now you regret it, hahahahahaha."

Just as Zhang Wenle was laughing wildly.

As if realizing that Zhang Wenle had misunderstood his meaning,
Li Qingxue turned her head and looked at Zhang Wenle embarrassedly:
"You misunderstood. I said it looked uncomfortable—"

“It’s not about the face.”

The moment these words were spoken, the smile on Zhang Wenle's face froze.

The ugly look doesn't mean the face, but the...
silence
Yoshihisa
Unable to bear the endless silence, Li Qingxue stood up, lowered her head and started to rush to the classroom door:
"I'm going to the bathroom"

When I saw Li Qingxue walking out of the classroom.

Jiang Hai turned around and stared at Zhang Wenle in front of him with a distressed look on his face:

"Monkey, why aren't you smiling? Are you worried about something?"

"Don't be sad. If you really can't laugh and want to cry, you can lean on my shoulder."

"Outside the window is the 16th floor. Don't keep staring outside. Think positively."

Schools, especially universities, for both men and women——

This should be the age in a person's life when they have the most energy and when hormone secretion is the highest.

Jiang Hai expressed sympathy for the monkey's plight.

But Jiang Hai had no way of understanding his feelings.

A real man should do things for men——

What should be done!
What's the point of arguing and bickering over trivial matters like love all day long?
It’s the best time of your life!
It would be better to put the vigorous energy of young people into what they want to do!

For example, now——

After persuading the monkey, he must be more open-minded and not get upset over such trivial matters. He must devote his limited life to serving the people infinitely!

Jiang Hai immediately turned on the computer and began to revise the manuscript word by word.

In fact, the total number of words in the book "No Longer Human" is not that large, it is only 65,000 words.

However, even with less than 70,000 words, its global sales volume was...

At one point, it exceeded tens of millions of copies!

This kind of best-selling volume was beyond everyone's expectations. At a certain period of time, its sales even exceeded a series of well-known masterpieces!
According to incomplete statistics, the Shincho Bunko book channel alone has distributed more than 600 million copies of No Longer Human. This number of copies is the total number of copies distributed over the past years of Kokoro, the representative work of Natsume Soseki, who is known as Japan's "national great writer."

Frankly speaking, for a literary work that has long been in the top three of Japan's bestseller list and the top ten of Asia's bestseller list, what kind of waves will it cause when it is published in the world?

Jiang Hai is really unpredictable.

"No Longer Human" is different from traditional literary works, although it has many readers in the Asian market, European and American markets, and even throughout the world.

However, the values ​​promoted by this book are completely inconsistent with mainstream values!
[Suicidal culture] [Depression] [Corruption] [Decadence] These seemingly negative labels all fit it perfectly!
It is precisely because the ideas it promotes are completely contrary to mainstream values ​​that "No Longer Human" has become a hit in some countries:

It was once promoted by mainstream media as a 'banned book'!
Can "No Longer Human" be published successfully?

After it is published, will it cause any adverse effects through word of mouth among readers?

All of this is unknown.

Although Jiang Hai felt uncertain, since he had already committed the crime and written the book—

So there is definitely no reason to back off?

Enter the background of [Asian University Literature League],
Without hesitation, he filled in the contestant [Jiang Hai]'s school, grade, ID number, entries and other personal information on the registration interface.

After checking carefully for a while, Jiang Hai was about to click the [Confirm] button.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, outside the classroom door.

Suddenly a soft and sweet voice came:
"Jiang Hai, come out for a moment."

Jiang Hai looked up and saw
Isn’t the person who came the senior sister Taozi that Fatty has been thinking about every day?
