I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 246 Death Threat

Chapter 246 Death Threat
Was Old Joe a victim?

This was the first time Liu Jin had ever heard of it.

The main problem was that he never mentioned his ethnicity, and Liu Jin always assumed he was purely French.

But upon further reflection, it seems to make sense.

France has many ethnic groups among its victims.

Many of them did not reveal their ethnic identity as victims, but lived like normal people.

……

On April 30, the Humanitarian Daily published an article by Liu Jin.

He recounted some of the atrocities committed by the villagers, as well as their oppression and persecution of Mr. Zhang.

But these are not the core issues of the article.

Rather, it's the rise of a small-life mentality.

He used his personal experience to structure this statement.

He had studied abroad in his youth, attending the preparatory class of Chukyo University, a very famous private university under MGW.

During a Japanese language class, a teacher used very subtle Japanese to express discrimination against Chinese students.

Its meaning is roughly the same as the NC's term for victims during World War II: "inferior people".

He made his move!

Then he was expelled!

This matter will be exposed by the public sooner or later.

Instead of letting them explode, let's explode ourselves!
Most importantly, Liu Jin constantly linked Xiao Rizi's atrocities during the invasion of China with NC.

He wrote in the article: I cannot believe that, fifty-five years after the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War, there is still a country that refuses to admit defeat, refuses to apologize, and even refuses to acknowledge the crimes committed back then.

Are they trying to revive the NC by putting those NC elements into the shrine to worship?
A teacher actually referred to a student from China as 'znr'. It's like a victim going to Germany to study and being called 'inferior' by the Germans. I'm sure that victim would pull out a gun and empty it!

……

Liu Jin's article immediately resonated with many victims from various ethnic groups.

On that day, this topic was discussed on several television talk shows.

That same evening, a CCTV video was broadcast on a news program on France 2.

The host said in an angry tone: France is one of the birthplaces of European civilization and the founder of world literature.

However, how could an excellent writer be threatened like this simply because of one of his works?

This is a desecration of civilization and freedom of speech!

Then, an interview with the Toulouse police was played.

The deputy chief of police in Toulouse, who is also Chloe's brother, stood in front of the camera with a serious expression.

“We will definitely investigate this to the end! Amos has added a unique touch of Chinese style to Toulouse, and he has brought honor to Toulouse.”

We will never allow certain individuals or organizations to act so recklessly.

Toulouse police certainly won't target ordinary people.

However, he characterized the incident as organized crime.

They played a video of Toulouse police raiding an Asian gang enclave located on Rue de la Verge d'or street.

It is a genuine Asian gang, mainly composed of young people.

The street also has an interesting name: 'Golden Yinjing Street'.

This gang has a core group of more than a dozen people and peripheral members of forty to fifty people. Their main source of income is the production of adult videos.

Of course, it was illegal filming!
France is so small, yet it's almost entirely monopolized by adult film production companies like Woodpecker.

Therefore, it is very difficult for outsiders to join in; they can only make illegal adult films.

……

However, the smear campaign and attacks against Liu Jin have not stopped.

On May 1, the Chinese ambassador to France said in an interview: "Xiao Rizi has never set up concentration camps in Shanghai, nor has it ever abused the victims."

He even stated that it was precisely because of the protection provided by Xiao Rizi that the victims were able to live in Shanghai.

Balabala!

He will report back to the country and lodge a protest with China through official channels.

He also told the Chinese Embassy in France that since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, the two countries have upheld a friendly exchange attitude and will never allow certain people to smear China's reputation.

The embassy responded: Art originates from life but transcends it; we cannot impose rules and regulations on literary creation. Furthermore, the book *Life Is Beautiful* was not published in China; it was the author's own work, and we cannot interfere.

That evening, Liu Jin received a call from Mr. Lu.

"Xiao Liu, we're sorry, we can't give you more or more support."

"We must be careful what we say when it involves diplomatic relations between the two countries..."

His words revealed a hint of apology.

Liu Jin laughed and said, "I write books to make money. I've made the money, so I'll naturally bear the consequences myself, and it has nothing to do with the country."

"No, you probably don't know..."

Mr. Lu hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "After Life Is Beautiful was published, many victim groups and organizations contacted the domestic authorities. There are also many descendants of victims who lived there back then, who want to go back to visit and commemorate the past."

You know, this is a huge boost to the country's image.

Liu Jin laughed and said, "This has nothing to do with me. If you plant a phoenix tree, the phoenix will come."

Those were our ancestors; it was the kindness and tolerance of the people of Shanghai who lived in that era that attracted those people back.

"Can……"

“Mr. Lu, it’s alright. The improvement of the country’s image is also an improvement in status for us overseas Chinese. I am Chinese, a descendant of soldiers, and I just did what I wanted to do.”

"Xiao Liu, thank you!" The more indifferent Liu Jin seemed, the more guilty Mr. Lu felt.

"If you really can't handle it, you can tell us, and we will help you to the best of our ability."

"I know!"

"..."

After the exchange ended, Liu Jin simply smiled.

He made a phone call to Old Joe.

"Old Joe, we've arrived at school!"

"I'll be down right away."

Last night, Liu Jin told Qiao Anpu that he had finished a new book, printed it at school, and stored it in his personal locker at school.

He's going to send the manuscript to Sylvie tomorrow and ask if he wants it.

Old Joe was naturally very interested!

Liu Jin greeted the school security guard.

Along the way, we also encountered many students who came to the school to use the internet.

Old Qiao came downstairs and met up with Liu Jin.

"I really don't understand, why do you like Sylvie's coffee, which is so weird?"

"I'm young!"

Liu Jin said with a smile, "Of course, we should try more interesting things."

"It's not interesting at all."

“I will tell Ms. Sylvie what you said.”

Upon hearing this, Old Qiao laughed loudly and slapped Liu Jin hard several times.

The two stopped in front of the lockers.

Liu Jin entered the password.

Old Joe then asked, "How have you been these past two days?"

"How about what?"

"These past two days, the attacks on you in the newspapers have become increasingly fierce!"

"What's the point of attacking me? I'm just an author, a writer... I'm not a celebrity or a politician. I just need to write good books, works that readers enjoy. They can't possibly shoot me, can they?"

Huh? "

"what happened?"

"There's a letter here, but I don't remember having this letter."

As he spoke, he picked up the envelope, then casually took out two printed copies and handed one to Old Joe.

He put the other book into his bag and reached out to tear open the envelope.

"Old Joe, do you think it could be a gift from a female fan at school?"

"Just let those children go... You already have Sophie, Alizee, Heidi... By the way, what's that girl's name?"

"Which one?"

'Bang! '

Just as Liu Jin and Lao Qiao were talking, something fell out of the envelope, made a crisp sound when it landed, and then rolled twice on the ground.

Old Joe's gaze suddenly froze.

The students around them also saw clearly what it was.

A girl covered her mouth and let out a soul-stirring scream that echoed through the corridor.

That was a bullet!
The bullets are bright orange and shiny.

Liu Jin's expression froze for a moment, and he subconsciously took two steps back.

"Security, security!"

Old Joe realized what was happening and shouted sternly, "Call the police! Call the police right now!"

He looked at Liu Jin, "Amos, what else is inside?"

"I...I'm not sure."

As they were talking, a card slipped out of the envelope.

"What did you write?"

"ZNR, ずっと见ているんだからね! (We are watching you)"
