Chapter 42 042. Shocked America
Hearing that Zhao Taidou finally told the truth, Xi Wendian covered his face very tiredly.

"Mr. Zhao, in this way, our Huaguo's Nobel Prize..."

He hesitated.

Zhao Taidou patted him on the shoulder.

it is more than words.

The awarding rules of the Nobel Prize are very strict.

In two cases, they will not award.

One: People who are already dead do not award awards.

Second: Those who have already won the Nobel Prize will not repeat the award.

Einstein, for example, never won an award for his theory of relativity.

He was awarded for the photoelectric effect.

Afterwards, even though the theory of relativity was slowly proved to be correct, the Nobel Prize was not reissued to him again.

The Nobel Prize is a lifetime honor, and it is absolutely impossible to give it to the same person twice.

That's why, he had been blocking Zhao Taidou before, not letting him tell the truth.

What would happen if the Nobel Prize judges knew the truth?
Thinking of this, Xi Wendian wanted to curse.

Liu Chenmin and his gang had no idea how much trouble he had made!

In the studio, Gao Xiaobai's plump body just got up from the floor, straightened the chair, and said profusely with sweat:
"The floor is slippery."

Ju Xing asked curiously: "Teacher Yu, Teacher Gao, do you know all the people on the three new Nobel Prize certificates?"

Yu Hua smiled wryly: "It's not just that you know each other. Have you ever read "Norwegian Wood"? Haven't you read "The Catcher in the Rye?"

Jupiter exclaimed: "Oh, I have read it, but I usually don't look at the author's name when I read books..."

Yu Hua explained: ""Norwegian Forest" is the work of Haruki Kawabata, and "The Catcher in the Rye" is the work of Hemingway Faulkner."

Jupiter said: "As soon as you say that, I know, and there is another one? That one is...Tolstevsky."

Yu Hua said, "That one, that one is even more important."

Yu Hua didn't talk much, and seemed to be still immersed in the shock, so Ju Xing turned around and asked Gao Xiaobai:
"Mr. Gao, can you introduce to the audience...by the way?"

Gao Xiaobai wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "Okay, I'll give a brief introduction. In fact, these few people are all famous, I'm just adding some knowledge to the audience who don't know them."

"Who to start with? Let's start with Hemingway Faulkner, who was associated with García Borges."

"When we talked about Garcia Borges just now, we mentioned that he created magic realism, and "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is a great book of magic realism."

"In fact, he has predecessors. This context is obvious. In the history of literature, many literary researchers have discussed where García Borges' inspiration came from? Hemingway Faulkner. of."

"Nine years ago, a novel that caused a sensation in the literary world was born. The name of this book is "The Sound and the Fury."

Jupiter's expression seemed to say that she hadn't heard of this book.

Gao Xiaobai said: "It's normal to have never heard of it. This book is extremely obscure to ordinary people, but its narrative technique shocked all writers in the world—how can they write like this?! Everyone basically thought this way at the time. "

Jupiter wondered: "What's so special about the narrative technique?"

Gao Xiaobai said, "I won't play tricks on this point, let Teacher Yu Hua talk about it."

Ju Xing turned his head to Yu Hua, and Yu Hua said slowly:

"Didn't I say it before? I had two teachers and one of them was García Borges."

"The other is Hemingway Faulkner?" Jupiter asked.

"Yes," Yu Hua said with a smile, "the other one is Hemingway Faulkner."

He folded his arms and said: "Actually, literature is a thing that spirals up by stepping on the shoulders of predecessors. No one can write from birth, and it must be by imitating others.

"First imitate others, then go out of your own way, and then try to surpass. This process of surpassing is like wrestling with a teacher."

"Some people won the fight and walked out of their own way. Some people kept fighting." Yu Hua said, "You are like Mo Yu, who has been fighting with García Borges, or me, Wrestling with Hemingway Faulkner all the time."

Ju Xing understood, and asked, "You and Mr. Mo are already top figures in the literary world of Huaguo, can't you walk out of the shadow of your predecessors?"

Yu Hua smiled and said, "If you don't write a book, you won't be able to understand the fear of being dominated by them."

After speaking, he suddenly realized what was wrong, and changed his words: "I made a mistake, it wasn't 'they', it was 'he'!"

Jupiter lost his mind for a while.

Hearing what they said so much, she couldn't figure out that so many talented people were actually the same person.

Gao Xiaobai opened the fan, and said from the side: "Hemingway Faulkner, there is another book that is very popular among young literary and artistic youths—"The Great Gatsby."

Jupiter nodded: "Yes, yes, I've heard that it was written by him too?"

"It's him. Many people learned about this book from "Norwegian Forest". Unexpectedly, it was written by one person."

Speaking of this, he shook his head, and continued: "He also wrote a book, which may be known to junior high school students and high school students in recent years, "The Old Man and the Sea"."

Jupiter clapped his hands and said, "Oh! I know this too, it's in the textbook!"

Yu Hua interjected, "Just this book is enough for him to win a Nobel Prize."

Jupiter stared: "Is this book so powerful?"

On the screen, there is a barrage floating:
"I cried while watching "The Old Man and the Sea"..."

"Yes, yes, I think it's pretty good. When I was in Chinese class, the teacher taught other texts. I turned to the section of "The Old Man and the Sea" first, but ended up reading it by accident..."

"Watching "The Old Man and the Sea" didn't feel like it, but watching "The Catcher in the Rye" made me cry."

"Watching "The Catcher in the Rye" made me cry +1"

……

After sighing, Gao Xiaobai continued to popularize science:
"As I said just now, García Borges is a cultural phenomenon in the United States. If you don't know him, you would be ashamed to call yourself a cultural phenomenon.

"Actually, it's a bit of an exaggeration. In the United States, if you don't know Garcia Borges, there is still room for survival. But if you say you don't know Hemingway Faulkner, then things will be a big deal, and you will be expelled from the country directly. Can.

"Hemingway Faulkner, for a long time, was assumed to be American by default. Because he told mostly American stories.

"In the United States, whether it is in the literary or civil society, he has set off a monstrous wave-no exaggeration, only the word monstrous waves can describe it.

"Half of the young people in the United States are holding his "The Catcher in the Rye" in their hands, imitating the protagonist's speech in the book, and imitating the protagonist's attitude towards life.

"This book has also been listed as a 'must-read list for middle school students in the United States', recommended by all schools and parents, and all American youths know and have read it all.

"Okay, half of the young people are holding "The Catcher in the Rye", what about the other half? Holding "On the Road" in their hands.

"After the book "On the Road" was published, it drove the sales of jeans and coffee machines to over [-] million, and tricked countless American youths into starting a homeless career, and they ran around all over the United States.

"Yes, this book was also written by Hemingway Faulkner.

"A copy of "On the Road" and a copy of "The Catcher in the Rye" jointly built the hippie culture, which is still popular in the United States today."

Yu Hua said: "He also wrote "The Sound and the Fury", "As I Lay Dying", "The Snows of Kilimanjaro", "Absalom! Absalom!"... These books are as powerful as nuclear bombs in the literary world. "

Gao Xiaobai concluded with his fingers: "Young people adore him, the literary world respects him, and the cultural circle respects him. In the United States, Hemingway Faulkner's status can only be described as 'unparalleled'!"

After speaking, he wiped his sweat again.

According to his thinking, this kind of person who "shocked the whole of America" ​​could not be a Chinese.

But García Borges had been slapped so badly in the face just now that he dare not jump to conclusions now.

Ju Xing took a deep breath: "Then...now it is revealed that he is actually from Huaguo, what will happen?"

Gao Xiaobai was still smirking, and Yu Hua showed a dark smile on his face: "God knows, maybe it will shock the whole of America again."

Gao Xiaobai didn't really want to talk about this topic, so he changed the subject and said, "Not to mention what happened to the United States, the Japanese and Russians will definitely be even more broken when this matter is exposed today."

Jupiter asked, "How?"

 Note:

  The Catcher in the Rye by Salinger.

  "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac.
