I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 682 Blacklist

In his past life, Liu Jin had one regret.

He was reborn before the movie 731 was released.

However, he listened to the theme song, sung by Tan Weiwei.

After listening to it and reading the lyrics, he was so angry that his scalp tingled and his head felt like it was about to explode.

Here's a snippet of lyrics for your consideration:
……

Transformed into stars and longing in the sky

A rainbow streaks across the azure sky.
Your bright smile in the distance
Time flows like a song, mountains and rivers meander
My love exists between heaven and earth.

When you see me again, I will have transformed into a morning star, illuminating the dawn.

……

The bright smile of the draft, the stars and the longing of the draft, the years of the draft are like a song!
That's Unit 731!
What kind of 'bright smile' is there?
Chinese lyricists and composers should all die. They don't care about the story; they just pile up fancy words.

'A rainbow streaks across the azure sky of Nima,' but in Unit 731, darkness reigns supreme.

Keep moving forward, there is light ahead!
Where are you still putting "My love is between heaven and earth"?
Do you understand the suffering of those who are victims?
It even transforms into the morning star to illuminate the dawn...

The lyrics are grand, but what do they have to do with those hardships and Unit 731?
As a result, it became the theme song!

Liu Jin felt that this piece of garbage, "When You See Me Again," was far inferior to "Unit 731," which the Dutch blogger commissioned Tim Moyo to create for $800. He argued that China has no musicians, only a bunch of scoundrels who make a living off others.

Forgive me for not being able to swear, I can only express my anger.

However, after his rebirth, when Liu Jin saw Alizee's concert, he subconsciously thought of Unit 731.
He asked Leslie Cheung to rewrite the lyrics and compose the music, and retained the name Unit731 to express his respect for the foreigners who supported justice.

The lyrics, told from a first-person perspective, depict the numerous crimes committed by Unit 731.

It is available in four languages: Chinese, French, English, and Polish.

To this end, Liu Jin asked Leslie Cheung to retrieve the copyright of "Men Behind the Sun" directed by Mou Dunfei from the film library of Silver City in Hong Kong. He then contacted Mr. Cheung to retrieve the picture materials she collected when creating "The Nanjing Massacre".

He asked Spike Lee to re-edit it into a seven-minute film, which included historical materials and footage of Unit 731.

After Spike finished editing, he couldn't sleep soundly for a whole week, and his dreams were filled with those images!

……

As Liu Jin's singing began, eight giant screens slowly descended from the stadium dome.

Above, the provenance of these images is recorded in Chinese, English, Polish, and French...

The song echoed.

But inside the 10th anniversary stadium, there was complete silence.

Thirty-eight thousand people watched the bloody and cruel images on the screen, feeling a chill run down their spines.

After the seven-minute performance, Liu Jin gestured for Alizee and Tianxian to step back, then exchanged a glance with Leslie Cheung, raised his hands, and extended his middle finger.

"Fuck Japan Chicken!"

The stadium fell silent for a moment as the two men roared angrily, then erupted into a deafening roar.

"Fuck Japan Chicken!"

"Those who live a simple life are not human, they are beasts."

"Kill the little life!"

"..."

Angry voices rose and fell.

Liu Jin's eyes suddenly welled up with tears, which flowed silently down his face.

He stepped forward and embraced Leslie Cheung.

"Brother, thank you!"

"No, Amos, I should be thanking you for letting me participate in something so meaningful."

Suddenly, I felt like I had a goal again.

Liu Jin then hugged Alizee, then hugged Tianxian tightly, and finally hugged Maggie who came forward.

At this moment, even the celestial being was moved to tears.

She suddenly realized that this performance had unparalleled significance for her!
……

The concert ended at 11:00 PM.

But the impact of this concert has only just begun.

The following day, the Polish newspaper "Republica" reported on the concert.

However, instead of reporting on the heartwarming scenes at the concert, they focused on the song "Unit 731".
The newspaper used extremely serious language to express sympathy for the suffering of the Chinese people during World War II, followed by a condemnation of Xiao Rizi's atrocities.

The Republic is the national newspaper, and its significance is extraordinary.

Shortly afterward, comments about the concert and the song "Unit 731" appeared on the official website of Le Monde.

Xiao Rizi's reaction was extremely swift.

On one hand, they protested, stating that Alizee's concert had hurt Xiao Rizi's feelings and was a false accusation. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs subsequently issued a statement: all members of the Rebirth band would be blacklisted as unpopular individuals by Xiao Rizi.

Meanwhile, the overseas offices of the Little Days International Cultural Exchange Foundation also began a flurry of activity.

They started smearing Alizee's concerts and discrediting Rebirth.

They denied the existence of Unit 731 and also stated that the so-called Nanjing Massacre was not a real event.

It must be said that Xiao Rizi's overseas offices have considerable influence.

Many newspapers and periodicals, under the pressure of financial incentives, have censored coverage of the concert.

Meanwhile, a constant stream of negative information about Liu Jin has emerged.

Various rumors followed one after another, and there was even a woman who ran out carrying a small black child, saying that Liu Jin was the child's father.

In an interview, Eva laughed and said, "I don't know about other things, but I do know that Amos has never been to Louisiana, and I doubt he even knows where Baton Rouge is. As for Unit 731, I think it's a great song. I've seen the footage, and I know what he said is true... Whoever shouts the loudest is the one who's in a hurry."

The following day, the Immigration Bureau announced that Eva Green had been added to its blacklist.

"I don't like sashimi!"

Upon receiving the news, Eva immediately retorted.

Meanwhile, major French newspapers continued to report on the concert.

For the French, "Little Life" isn't important, even though their anime is indeed entertaining; Unit 731 isn't important either, since it's too far removed from their lives. Moreover, most of them are aware of the long-standing conflict between "Little Life" and Liu Jin.

Back then, they were even capable of shooting people.

What the French were interested in was Liu Jin's performance of "You Are Beautiful" at the concert.

Countless women found it incredibly romantic!

……

German newspapers and magazines have also continued to pay attention to the song Unit731.

At the same time, they were very interested in the music video for this song and even bought the copyright from Sil-Metropole Organisation Ltd., preparing to broadcast it on television.

Some commentators believe that after the end of World War II, Germany, as the instigator, was severely punished.

But why doesn't Japan admit its mistakes and even go to pay homage to war criminals? According to the Potsdam Declaration, is Japan a defeated nation?

Of course, some politicians have also come forward to defend him.

However, during this period, the German people had not yet been brainwashed, and at least in terms of their values, they were much more positive than they would be in the future.

Spain, Italy, and other countries are also paying attention to this matter.

According to street interviews, 57 percent of respondents demanded that the Japanese government apologize to China, admit its mistakes, and stop visiting war criminals' shrines.

Thirty percent of people said it was irrelevant to them and they didn't care.

Thirteen percent of people said they hadn't heard of it, but since Xiao Rizi was very polite and wealthy, they would support him...

However, this discussion about daily life did not last long.

On August 2, German Industrial Bank announced that its €127 billion Rhineland Fund had suffered heavy losses, exceeding €8 billion.

Three days later, America's tenth largest mortgage lender, America Mortgage Investments, filed for bankruptcy protection. This was the second major mortgage lender to declare bankruptcy since April.

On August 8, BNP Paribas, France's largest bank, announced the freezing of three of its funds.

European stock markets suffered a severe blow.

Meanwhile, Alizée had completed two concerts in Amsterdam and Brussels and quietly led her team to Casablanca, Morocco.

Leslie Cheung, Maggie Cheung, and Liu Yifei had already left.

Leslie Cheung and Maggie returned to Hong Kong Island to handle some private matters.

Tianxian, on the other hand, was told to rush back to Paris overnight by a phone call from Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu only found out from the news that Tianxian went to Warsaw to sing the song unit731, and then Xiao Rizi blacklisted her.

She felt like the sky was falling!

The Xiao Rizi market is a market that Aunt Liu must acquire in her plan.

We were negotiating with several companies related to Xiao Rizi, but who knew that this silly girl's one song would cause multiple endorsement deals to be terminated.

She was furious!
I flew directly from Beijing to Paris and gave Mr. An a good scolding.

But Mr. An believes that it is a good thing that Tianxian did not betray her conscience for money.

Although for some unknown reason, news about Liu Jin has been suppressed in China, including this concert, and there has been no reporting on it, we are now in the internet age, and much information that is not reported by print and official media has already spread online.

Judging from public opinion, it does not harm the celestial being in any way.

However, Mr. An found it difficult to calm Aunt Liu down when she was acting somewhat frantically.

This was probably one of the main reasons for their divorce back then... Aunt Liu had a huge difference in understanding on certain things!
