Mao Dun Literary Award, and has previously won the National Outstanding Novella Award.

But even so, the country still doesn't know how the island country crazily pursues and admires Lin Youcheng's "The Devotion of Suspect X".

But now in the 1980s, Lin Youcheng's novels can actually win awards abroad, and the island country specially awards Lin Youcheng a special award, which shows how influential this influence is.

You must know that local literary awards generally give awards to local authors and literary works. It is really amazing that a foreign author like Lin Youcheng can win two special awards for mystery literature for his translated and published works. Incredible.

Editor Zhang Wei looked at Lin Youcheng and said, "Youcheng, your article "The Devotion of Suspect X" really had a great influence on the island country."

Zhang Wei also heard that Lin Youcheng's "The Devotion of Suspect X" was killing everyone in the island country, setting off a quite terrifying trend.

In fact, for some reason, he was not surprised at all. As the first reader of this novel, he was really shocked and speechless after reading it. It was really the most perfect thing he had ever seen. The method of crime is also the most thrilling love.

Hearing Zhang Wei's words, Lin Youcheng smiled. In fact, he knew very well how lethal "The Devotion of Suspect X" was in the island country. Even if he did not win the Mao Dun Literature Award, it would not affect the success of this mystery novel. excellent.

After all, in this day and age, it is so rare.

Maybe this means that if there is no light in the east, there will be light in the west!

He couldn't help but said: "Ba Lao is very sure about your article "The Devotion of Suspect X". He was also surprised that you were able to win the award in the island country."

Hearing Lin Youcheng's words, Zhang Wei and Yang Yiping looked at each other, seemingly surprised. They didn't expect Lin Youcheng to say such words.

In this age of poetry and literature, the author Lin Youcheng is no less popular than those famous poets.

Zhang Wei nodded repeatedly after listening to Yang Yiping's words and said: "Yes, Lin Youcheng's "The Devotion of Suspect X" actually gave me the same feeling. On the one hand, it is very exaggerated, making people feel like, Oh my god, this is What kind of madman would create something like this? But on the other hand, it makes people feel very real and delicate, and they can truly feel that this sentiment exists in our lives and emotions, and even marvel at how we came up with it. Such an incredible scam and trick.”

Nowadays, many people yearn for going abroad and the world abroad.

Yanyuan Literary College specially invited Lin Youcheng to come to the school to give a literature lecture. Of course, it was not just because Lin Youcheng won the island country's literature award, but also because of Lin Youcheng's current influence.

Lin Youcheng smiled and said: "Compared to the island country's awards, I actually care more about the Mao Dun Literature Award."

"I think the reason why "The Devotion of Suspect To stimulate the readers’ senses, so as to achieve the purpose of thinking about human nature or expressing emotions.”

Zhang Wei looked at Lin Youcheng and asked, "Youcheng, will you go abroad to the island country to receive the award?"

At this time, the culture of worshiping foreigners is still very strong. For example, when Lin Youcheng won the award in an overseas island country, several newspapers reported on it. The news was even more enthusiastic than when Lin Youcheng won the Mao Dun Literature Award.

Although Lin Youcheng doesn't care about the island country's literary awards, many people in China do. Especially Lin Youcheng's "The Devotion of Suspect X" was very popular before, and Lin Youcheng himself and the novels he published have always been very popular. , now that he has won a literary award from the island country, he is naturally sought after by more literary youths.

Lin Youcheng shook his head. He had no intention of making a special trip to the island country just to receive the Edogawa Rampo Award and the Mystery Association Award. He said, "The publisher can just collect it on your behalf."

Before, after the publication of "Love Letter", Lin Youcheng came to Beijing to receive the National Outstanding Novella Award and gave a lecture in Yanyuan. However, that time was organized by Zha Haiming and students from the School of Liberal Arts, but this time it was specially organized by the school professor. Lin Youcheng was invited to give a lecture.

This is of course also because Lin Youcheng's status in the literary world has been rising rapidly for all to see. He is definitely not a newcomer. After all, he is the person who won the Mao Dun Literature Award, and his published works have also caused quite a stir in the literary world. Lively discussion. Naturally, Yanjing Institute of Literature would not miss this opportunity for Lin Youcheng to come to the capital and invited Lin Youcheng again.

There is no doubt that the students at Yanyuan who call themselves poets are very fond of Lin Youcheng. It can be said that every novel written by Lin Youcheng makes this group of students go crazy, and they continue to engage in literary exchanges. There has always been talk about Lin Qi's poetic life and poetic life in "The Wonders of the World", exchanges about Lin Qihe and Gu Xiaomeng passing each other, and loud shouting of Gu Xiaomeng's last words in "The Wind". and red faith. Now that Lin Youcheng was invited again, naturally everyone came to the auditorium with great enthusiasm to listen to Lin Youcheng's lecture.

All of them knew very clearly that Lin Youcheng not only won the Mao Dun Literature Award, but also won the Island Country’s Literature Award, which was constantly reported in newspapers.

As a loyal reader of Lin Youcheng, Xie Shuhua naturally came to the front row of the auditorium early in the morning and was very excited to see Lin Youcheng on the stage. She actually wanted to tell Lin Youcheng that she especially liked "The Wonders of the World" written by Lin Youcheng. "Thing", she also wrote to Lin Youcheng, saying that Lin Qi died in Jiang Xi's arms in the end, which made her burst into tears, but she never received a reply, which made her very disappointed, but now she can see Lin Youcheng Nothing matters anymore.

In fact, Lin Youcheng has participated in literature lectures twice before, not to mention the Writers Association seminars. In fact, they all talked about the creation experience and some feelings of literary works, and then exchanged some issues with students, but now it is very Apparently because of some newspaper reports, many Yanyuan students wanted to know about Lin Youcheng's "The Devotion of Suspect X" winning an award in the island country.

Some students asked several questions about "The Devotion of Suspect X".

Obviously, in the minds of these students, it is really a novelty for Lin Youcheng to win the island country's literary award.

One student stood up and asked: "Comrade Lin Youcheng, your book "The Devotion of Suspect X" was able to win the island country's literary award, but it did not win the Mao Dun Literature Award. Do you feel regretful and regretful?"

Hearing this question, Lin Youcheng shook his head, looked at the student who asked the question, and said: "Of course not, because I am honored to have won "Wonderful Things in the World", and you may not know that the Mao Dun Literature Award is Domestic status is judged once every three years, while the Edogawa Rampo Award and Mystery Association Award in the island country are actually judged every year.”

Lin Youcheng's words are actually very obvious, which means that the status of the Mao Dun Literature Award is much higher than that of the island country's literary award.

"Is that the island country's literary award?"

Seeing that the student seemed a little dissatisfied with Lin Youcheng's answer, Lin Youcheng couldn't help but smile and said, "So?"

"So, it's just an island country's literary award."

But, just.

The difference of one word means thousands of miles.

Lin Youcheng smiled and said: "Of course I feel honored to be able to win the island country's literary award, but what makes me feel even more honored is to be selected for the Mao Dun Literature Award."

Xie Shuhua did not expect that Lin Youcheng would be so nonchalant about winning foreign awards for his works. This really made her feel very special.

It's so special, completely different from the current popularity abroad.

As for the student who asked the question, he was also very surprised by Lin Youcheng's attitude towards the island country's literary award. Lin Youcheng really didn't seem to care about the island country's literary award.

This made him unable to imagine or understand that it was a foreign literary award!

Lin Youcheng could actually tell that this student seemed to think that being able to win a foreign literary award was a very great thing, and he might even think it was even more amazing than winning the Mao Dun Literature Award.

In this regard, Lin Youcheng just wanted to say that although foreign awards are good, the Mao Dun Literature Award at home is more fragrant.

He does not think that the moon abroad is rounder or brighter, not to mention that although the Edogawa Rampo Award and the Mystery Association Award are the highest honors for reasoning in the island country, they cannot be said to be the moon abroad. It can be said that it is a foreign star, but it is really better not to take advantage of the Mao Dun Literature Award. It is not a level award at all. If it were replaced by the Akutagawa Award or Naoki Award of the island country——

Well, the Mao Dun Literature Award is more fragrant and brighter.
