Chapter 249 What is cultural confidence? Lin Feng teaches everyone a lesson

“Stop!”

"Wait a moment!"

"don't want!!!"

Before Qi Guoqiang could say anything to stop them, there were already cries of surprise from all around.

But it's too late.

Lin Feng used great force, quick hands and eyes, and smashed the walnut on the table with a "bang".

The originally hard walnut shell shattered.

Lin Feng picked it up with his hands, found two pieces of fruit pulp and stuffed them into his mouth.

“It tastes pretty good.”

Lin Feng closed his eyes and immersed himself in it, shaking the trophy in his hand:
"This thing works pretty well..."

Lin Feng's sudden action,

It immediately stunned everyone at the scene.

This is the Nebula Award trophy!
It is the dream of many writers, an existence that is out of reach!
Such a precious trophy, and you actually used it to crack walnuts?!??!
Before Qi Guoqiang could react, Lin Feng took the trophy and started smashing the bag of walnuts on the ground.

One after another.

—one by one.

Seeing this scene, Qi Guoqiang almost died of pain.

There are only a few such precious trophies in the whole of China, oh no, to be more precise, in the whole of Asia.

You actually used such a precious trophy to crack walnuts???
Isn't this a waste of God's gift!!!
Every time Lin Feng knocked the trophy against the hard walnut shell,

Qi Guoqiang's heart,
It will tremble violently as the trophy falls!
“Stop, stop!!!”

Qi Guoqiang called for a pause and snatched the trophy from Lin Feng's hand:

"Stop smashing it! It'll break if you keep smashing it!"

Carefully look at the trophy in your hand,
I saw that the originally smooth and flawless trophy had a small dent because the walnut was hit too hard.

Qi Guoqiang must be so heartbroken!
"Send away the gift of heaven!"

"This is pure waste of God's gift!"

This is not only Lin Feng's honor,

This is the glory of the entire Chinese nation!
As for the gold content of this trophy——

That can be exhibited in the National Museum!
Such a precious trophy.
Such a supreme honor, and you use it to crack walnuts?
Who is it!
Who on earth is this person???
Not only Qi Guoqiang was surprised, but all the guests present were stunned when they saw Lin Feng make this bold move.

"No, I'm going to..."

Sister Zifeng opened her mouth so wide in surprise that she could even fit an egg in her mouth:
"Brother Lin Feng, have you always been so brave?"

Looking at the dented trophy, Mr. Huang was also extremely heartbroken:
"Is this how you treat honor???"

[Not bragging, using the trophy as a hammer is the first time I’ve seen this in such a long time of watching TV!]

[Hetao never thought in his life that he would be hit by the Nebula Trophy one day?... That would be a death without regrets!]

[If you don’t understand, will the walnuts opened with a trophy cup taste better?]

[I don’t know whether it tastes good after it’s opened, I only know that… Mr. Qi must be feeling extremely heartbroken right now???]

"I'm really convinced. What are you doing?"

Qi Guoqiang stared at Lin Feng with a painful look on his face and hugged the trophy in his arms.

"Cracking walnuts." Lin Feng spread his hands with an innocent look on his face. "Isn't it obvious?"

Qi Guoqiang was almost driven to collapse by Lin Feng:
"Is that what I mean??? How can you crack walnuts with it?"

Lin Feng stared at Qi Guoqiang in surprise, "Ah? Can't I?"

In terms of ownership,
You gave me this trophy.

Then this thing should be mine.

Now that this thing is mine, I use it to open walnuts——

That can be said to be absolutely flawless!
"Do you know that this trophy is very valuable?"

Qi Guoqiang stared at Lin Feng with a look of disappointment.

"Is this thing precious or not..." Lin Feng looked at Qi Guoqiang with some doubt, "And the fact that I use it to open walnuts..."

"Does it matter a dime?"

The value of an item should be determined by the owner.

What seems precious to you is precious to me.

It may be worthless.

"First of all, I don't think this thing is that valuable."

Lin Feng slowly picked up a trophy from the table:
"Secondly, I personally feel that the feel of using this thing to crack walnuts is—"

“It’s really great!”

After saying that, Lin Feng raised the trophy and slammed it hard on the table.

"Click——"

Another walnut cracked. If it were anything else,
Qi Guoqiang could bear it.
But if this matter involves the honor of the country, Qi Guoqiang will not be able to care about so much.

Qi Guoqiang walked sideways to the table, opened his arms to stop Lin Feng, and protected the trophy behind him:

"Can't!"

"You can't waste the gift of nature like this!
"You can't treat the country's honor like this!"

"I won't let you smash the trophy again!"

"If you still want to crack walnuts, then you can crack me first!"

When director Yan Min saw Qi Guoqiang blocking Lin Feng, he panicked instantly.

Mr. Qi can't let anything happen to them!!!
Director Yan Min took a big step forward and stood in front of Qi Guoqiang:

"You can't hit Mr. Qi. If you want to hit Mr. Qi——" "Then hit me first!"

As soon as the assistant director saw that something was not right, he knew it was time for him to show off.

He rushed forward and stood in front of Yan Min:
"You can't hit Director Yan. If you hit Director Yan——"

"Then you hit me first!"

Seeing these people's actions, Lin Feng was speechless.

Are you guys playing pyramid here?
"Okay, why would I hit you?"

Lin Feng was speechless, "I just want to eat a walnut, is it that serious?"

It's still Nini who knows how to handle things.

Seeing the right opportunity, he handed a small hammer directly to Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng, don't use the trophy to smash walnuts. It's such a waste."

"You should use a hammer to crack walnuts instead."

He pushed away the assistant director and Yan Min who were blocking his way.

Lin Feng picked up the small hammer.
Start cracking walnuts on the table:
"Wouldn't it be enough if you just handed me the hammer earlier?"

Lin Feng finally stopped doing anything out of line.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

I felt relieved.

Qi Guoqiang still finds it difficult to understand Lin Feng's actions:
"No, why are you using the trophy to crack walnuts?"

Lin Feng didn't even look at him:
“Why can’t I crack walnuts with my trophy?”

Qi Guoqiang frowned immediately:
"The trophy represents honor!"

"Why do you treat honor like this?"

After hearing what Qi Guoqiang said, Lin Feng was stunned for a moment.

After a moment of silence.

While chewing a walnut, Lin Feng slowly turned his gaze towards Qi Guoqiang:
"honor?"

“Who gave the honor?”

Qi Guoqiang didn't even think about it and answered without thinking: "It's abroad!"

"Look at these awards. They represent the recognition of you by the foreign literary community..."

Qi Guoqiang hadn't finished speaking yet.
Lin Feng's words choked him: "I am who I am."

“Why do I need other people’s approval?”

Lin Feng's words immediately caused everyone to ponder.

Yes indeed,

I am who I am.

Why do we need recognition from others?
Doesn't Lin Feng not seem to be an excellent writer if he doesn't get recognition from others?
If it cannot be recognized by others, does that mean that The Three-Body Problem is no longer a great book that transcends time?
Why do we always need the approval of others?
Why do you have to care so much about what others think?
Be yourself down-to-earth.

Isn't it good to just do your own job honestly?
It was as if the temperament suddenly changed.
Lin Feng looked out the window, his eyes filled with deep sorrow:

"First of all, I am Chinese."

“Secondly, I’m a writer.”

“The trophy shines because of me.”

"It's not that I became excellent because I won the trophy."

"Can you understand what I'm saying?"

Maybe for others...

A trophy represents recognition of others.

Only by winning the trophy can he prove his excellence.

However, for Lin Feng——

He doesn't need anyone's approval!
Because this trophy was awarded to Lin Feng, this reflects the value of this trophy.

This should be the glory of the trophy,

This should be the honor of the award judges, not Lin Feng's honor!
Lin Feng glanced at Qi Guoqiang and other officials who came to express their condolences:

"Usually, you always talk about cultural confidence, but today I want to ask you something."

“Do you really feel that you are culturally confident now?”

It’s just that foreign countries gave you a few awards.

It's just that foreigners have awarded you a few so-called honors.

This will make you bow your knees,

Is this what makes you treasure these things?
True cultural confidence,
It should come from a strong confidence while maintaining a calm and dignified attitude!
This is like the ancient Tang Dynasty, when Li Bai was revered as the Immortal Poet.

A little-known country in the Western Regions released news praising it.

Would Li Bai be happy about this? Obviously not.

How talented is Li Bai?
Would you become complacent and elated because of the praise from an unknown small country in the Western Regions?
This is obviously impossible.

On the contrary—

It was because the small country in the Western Regions released the news, praising Li Bai, and being associated with a great man like Li Bai - the small country in the Western Regions would be happy about this!
Li Bai would not be happy about being involved with a small country in the Western Regions.

Small countries in the Western Regions would feel proud to have established a relationship with Li Bai, a great literary figure!
This should be the real cultural confidence!
And the situation now is the same!
What kind of person is Lin Feng?
Lin Feng has conquered the whole world with his talent and literary accomplishment!
He used his own strength to tell everyone in the world——

A dragon emerges from China!
There is a great writer in China who is both talented and knowledgeable!
In that case——

Why should he be happy about a few obscure awards?
These so-called awards and trophies given to him - do they matter?
Not important at all.

Lin Feng didn't take these things seriously at all.

Since these trophies are dispensable, what is the difference between them and a hammer?
So why can't it be used to crack walnuts?
