America 1869: A Doppelganger Every Day

Chapter 147 Call for Submissions: New Issues

Li Changsheng's Huamei Weekly has established offices in most countries around the world.

For example, countries like the French Empire, the British Empire, Russia, and Germany each had a separate entity responsible for this.

In some countries, a single person can be in charge of newspapers in several other countries.

In recent years, the various Chinese books translated by Li Changsheng using his clones have begun to gain popularity in these countries.

Many small countries have virtually no cultural heritage; their cultural sphere has been dominated by Chinese culture.

However, for countries with rich cultural heritage, such as France, Russia, and the British Empire, it is not so easy to integrate Chinese culture into their countries through cultural export.

Why only attempt to integrate based on what you already know?

Some have yielded good results, with the people already accepting Chinese culture, while others have had poor results, with hardly anyone watching them.

Fortunately, Chinese culture is profound and extensive, and there are countless books in China.

Therefore, in order to open up markets in various countries and export his culture to these countries, Li Changsheng made many attempts.

In America, Li Changsheng discovered that novels featuring gods, demons, and monsters were the easiest to market.

But this doesn't work in other countries.

Li Changsheng, from the Russian side, also translated Journey to the West at first, but unfortunately, not many people read it.

It wasn't until later, when he translated a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War, that it became a huge hit.

For the warmongering Soviet Union, Sun Tzu's Art of War became popular after it caught the attention of generals in Moscow.

In order to promote cultural export, in recent years (Li Changsheng/team) has been analyzing the origins and historical background of "The Art of War" in conjunction with "Sun Tzu's Art of War".

It has to be said that the effect is very good.

Recently, the clone company, drawing inspiration from TV series about Sun Tzu's Art of War that they watched in their previous life, has written a novel based on this and is now serializing it.

The appearance of this book instantly opened up the market for Russian bears.

After opening up the bear market and seeing the success of Li Changsheng's original self in the United States, the Chinese American Daily and Weekly also launched essay contests on "The Art of War" and "The Thirty-Six Stratagems".

To coincide with the essay contest, Li Changsheng's clones even produced translations of many Chinese military strategy books, combining them with their respective historical stories, and released them all together.

Those who wish to participate in the essay contest should learn more about the relevant historical background.

After all, only by understanding something can you write it into your book and make yourself appear more knowledgeable.

In this way, even if all the winning articles in this essay contest are about wars in the history of the Soviet Union, current events in the Soviet Union, or stories with the Soviet Union as the background, they will all contain a lot of Chinese culture.

It can be said that using Sun Tzu's Art of War to open up the cultural market of the Russian bear was a success.

The success of the two essay contests allowed Chinese culture to take root in both countries, and other related entities also began to take action.

French literature today largely focuses on ordinary people, whether they are the lower classes or women who were rarely mentioned before.

Based on this, the author then launched straightforward translations of late Ming dynasty literature and vernacular translations of late Tang dynasty literature.

Similarly, in France and the British Empire, books like Journey to the West and Investiture of the Gods are very popular, so Li Changsheng's essay contest in the Chinese American Daily and his doppelganger's realistic essay contest were launched simultaneously.

Other countries have also incorporated Chinese culture into their programs from different perspectives, in order to stimulate their people's curiosity about Chinese culture.

At the same time, an essay contest will be held to allow more articles about Chinese culture to appear in these countries.

It is under this premise that many people have become curious about Chinese culture.

Some people even want to learn Chinese, including Mandarin and simplified characters, in order to better understand Chinese culture.

How could Li Changsheng possibly let this opportunity slip by?

When more and more people came to him wanting to learn Mandarin, Li Changsheng established the first Mandarin school. However, he did not establish this school in New York, but rather in San Francisco.

the reason is simple.

He feared that his school would be harassed again.

While Li Changsheng can no longer control the entire state of California, he has replaced most of the councilors and high-ranking officials in San Francisco.

Therefore, even if the current mayor of San Francisco is not Li Changsheng's alter ego, Li Changsheng still wields significant influence in San Francisco.

Establishing the school in San Francisco is definitely the best choice.

Moreover, many of these students are likely to stay in San Francisco or California after graduation, and in the future, Mandarin and simplified Chinese characters may even become more widespread in California.

This is also a good thing for Ji Changsheng.

While Li Changsheng was establishing schools, his clones in other countries were also establishing Chinese-language schools when conditions allowed.

Li Changsheng's cultural exports are beginning to show results.

As a result, some Chinese representatives in San Francisco contacted him.

Because after the Alaska incident, Li Changsheng told Chinese people not to immigrate to the United States anymore.

Therefore, there have been no Chinese immigrants in the United States recently, which has prevented many people from bringing their families over and also prevented some people who originally wanted to come from coming to the United States.

So these people approached Li Changsheng, hoping he could find a way to get more people to immigrate to America and live a better life with them.

After they asked the question, Li Changsheng immediately shook his head and refused.

"We absolutely cannot allow any more Chinese immigrants to come in now."

"There are now nearly 600,000 Chinese in the United States. More than 100,000 of them have been living in Alaska, and only 300,000 have settled in the United States. The remaining 200,000 are still in the form of laborers."

"Only tens of thousands of these people were dispersed throughout the United States; the majority of the rest remained in California."

"Only by solving the employment problem for most people in California can anti-Chinese sentiment be alleviated."

"But if Chinese people take jobs from white Americans and squeeze their living space, then anti-Chinese sentiment will rise even further."

"By then, it will be even more difficult for Chinese people in America."

"So for everyone's sake, it's not possible to immigrate to the United States in the short term."

"If your family or friends really can't survive in the Qing Empire and need to immigrate, I can talk to the immigration office and have them immigrate to other places first."

"Whether it's the Far East or Vietnam, both are now considered good places to go."

"If you wish to reunite with your families, you may go on your own."

Unfortunately, Li Changsheng's persuasion had no effect.

After Li Changsheng left, these people contacted their families on their own.

Why would they send their families to the Far East and Vietnam when they were living such a good life in America?
