A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!

Chapter 347 Greatness needs no words! This writer has astonished the world! A phenomenal writer who has influenced the development of science fiction!
The Hugo Award is known as the Nobel Prize in Literature in the science fiction world.

The Nebula Award is known as the most prestigious science fiction lifetime achievement award in Asia.

Any one of these two awards is the honor that countless science fiction writers dream of pursuing. Ordinary writers may not be able to get a nomination for them even after their entire life's efforts.

And today
The world science fiction essay contest, which is held once every few decades and is jointly hosted by the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award, has the final champion seat.

It was actually taken away by a science fiction writer from China?

China has long been known as a "science fiction desert". If the world's science fiction literature is divided from high to low, it can be divided into top-notch, first-rate, second-rate, and third-rate.

What are the achievements of Chinese writers in science fiction?
Not even third-rate?
But who would have thought that it was such a Chinese writer who came from the desert of science fiction, who not only raised Chinese science fiction to a top-notch level by his own efforts, but also set a precedent for world science fiction literature.
Created a whole new sci-fi universe?

From the framework of the universe, to the echelons of cosmic civilization, to the laws of survival in the universe, these are things that have troubled the science fiction community for decades but have not yet been answered.
Jiang Hai told it all in one book, and explained it thoroughly?

There is no need to explain the greatness of "The Three-Body Problem".

Jiang Hai won the championship of the World Science Fiction Writing Competition not because of the opinion of the organizing committee, but because of the joint vote of hundreds of thousands of readers from four continents and 52 countries.

According to the real-time voting results, the top three science fiction works are as follows:

Ranked first is "The Three-Body Problem 2: The Dark Forest" by Chinese science fiction writer Jiang Hai.

Ranked second is "The Three-Body Problem 1: Past Events on Earth" by Chinese science fiction writer Jiang Hai.

Ranked third is "The Three-Body Problem: Death's End" by Chinese science fiction writer Jiang Hai.

It is hard to believe that in the world science fiction writing competition where so many geniuses gather, this is the top three.

It was actually contracted by a Chinese writer?
What’s even more terrifying is that even though this ranking is extremely outrageous, no one thinks there is anything wrong with it?
When someone questions:
"Is Jiang Hai really that powerful?"

"Three books, taking the top three spots?"

"This kind of scene is unprecedented and has never been seen before."

But when someone raised this question, Jiang Hai didn't even need to speak out, and fans of "The Three-Body Problem" immediately jumped out to refute it, with the main point being that a great scholar would argue for me:
“If you don’t write books, your view of the sea and the river is like a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky.”

"If you write a book, you will see the sea as an ant sees the sky."

Biltmore Estate, award ceremony site.

Sitting quietly at the scene were authorities, professors, and experts in the field of science fiction from all over the world.

Including the three great gods of American science fiction, namely Hayden Christopher, known as the rising star of North American science fiction, Benjamin Jonathan, known as the god of modern science fiction, and Andrew Christopher, known as the godfather of North American hardcore science fiction, all the giants of science fiction literature gathered at the scene.

Under the gaze of cameras all over the world.

A Chinese writer with a straight figure and dressed in a black suit slowly appeared before the world.

Or shocking.

Or excited.

or excitement

When Jiang Hai appeared on the scene, the place suddenly erupted into unparalleled applause and shouts:

"Jiang Hai!!!"

"Jiang Hai!!!"

"Jiang Hai!!!"

Regardless of race.

Regardless of nationality.

Regardless of whether Jiang Hai is Asian or European, regardless of whether Jiang Hai is Chinese or American, when a science fiction work like The Three-Body Problem, which is worthy of being recorded in the history of world literature, appears before the eyes of the world——

This is definitely an advancement in world science fiction literature!
No matter from which angle you look at it, this writer who has promoted the development of world science fiction literature——

Definitely worthy of respect!

step.

One more step.

Another step.

Jiang Hai walked from one end of the red carpet to the other end at a constant speed.

Twenty-three-year-old Jiang Hai is full of vigor and vitality. He has shed the immaturity of his student days and looks much more mature.

At this moment, he is young and talented, romantic and elegant.

When looking at the faces of rivers and seas, shining on the world stage.

He is like the most dazzling gem, emitting his unique light on the stage of the World Science Fiction Writing Competition.

At this moment, in Chenghai Drama Academy, multimedia tiered classroom.

Facing hundreds of new Chinese Language and Literature students, Teacher Wang's voice could not help but tremble:
"Look, look!"

"This is my old student."

Once upon a time, Jiang Hai was still a rascal who smoked in the toilet, but as time went by, he was no longer a bad boy in the eyes of his teacher and a bad student in the eyes of his classmates.
They have already stepped onto the world stage?
"Congratulations, Jiang Hai!" When Jiang Hai received the medal of honor, which symbolizes the highest honor in the science fiction literature, from US President Alex.

As if deeply touched.

A freshman who was smoking in the toilet suddenly threw the cigarette butt on the ground as if he had received a shot of chicken blood:
"How am I worse than him?"

Prince and general, would you rather have a kind?
We are all men with a head on two shoulders. Who doesn’t want to stand out?

Back then, Chen Haonan was able to fight his way from Tsim Sha Tsui to Causeway Bay to become the boss, so why can't I, Fatty Corpse, do the same?

Thinking back to the time when Jiang Hai was able to write books all the way from Chenghai Drama Academy to becoming successful in the United States, he was also the same person who smoked in the toilet.
Why can't I do it?
When the organizing committee of the World Science Fiction Writing Contest announced that Jiang Hai had become the first science fiction writer in history to win both the American Hugo Award and the Japanese Nebula Award,

An angry voice suddenly resounded throughout the Chengxi toilet:

"From today on, I resolve to—"

"I also want to become a great writer like Jiang Hai!"

Peking University, Weiming Lake.

Jiang Hai's former residence.

Back then, it was at this Weiming Lake that Jiang Hai wrote "To Live", a masterpiece of suffering literature that shocked the contemporary literary world. It was thought that after writing "To Live", Jiang Hai would take a short break for a while, but who would have thought
He actually went to the United States without stopping?
"This is where Mr. Jiang Hai once lived." A member of the Peking University Literature Society led the entourage to visit Jiang Hai's former residence. "It was here that Mr. Jiang Hai wrote the pioneering documentary literature book "To Live" that shocked the contemporary literary world."

Peking University members led the tour group to Weiming Lake while telling the story of Jiang Hai's past.

A graceful girl with a pretty face unconsciously sat on the stone bench where Jiang Hai had sat before, and looked up into the distance:

"I don't know what Jiang Hai was thinking when he sat here."

That was when she was stunned.

A girl who looked lively and cheerful sat next to her with an excited look on her face:
"Shen Yue, I heard that you graduated from the Chinese Department of Chengxi Opera? And you are from the same class as Mr. Jiang Hai?"

"Then, do you know Mr. Jiang Hai?"

From Chengxi Opera to Beijing Normal University, and then from Beijing Normal University to Peking University.

Even though Shen Yue has been trying to follow Jiang Hai's footsteps over the years, Jiang Hai's existence is proving one thing to her -

If hard work helps, then what's the point of having genius?
Recalling the oath I made in front of Jiang Hai:

"I, Shen Yue, have never been inferior to others in my life."

At this moment, Shen Yue couldn't help but want to laugh.

The past is gone like smoke.

All the wrong things you did when you were young are the price you must pay for growing up.

“I can’t become the light, but I can still follow the light silently in the corner where it can’t see.”

Through the TV screen, I watched Jiang Hai receiving an award in the United States.

Then I heard the question from my classmates:

"Shen Yue, do you know Jiang Hai?"

At this moment, Shen Yue's smile inexplicably showed a bit more calmness:
“This is a very long story.”

Jiang Hai received the trophy from President Alex.

Under the gaze of the world, he slowly walked up to the podium. When asked by reporters:
"Mr. Jiang Hai, what motivated you to embark on the path of writing?"

Jiang Hai answered truthfully:

“At first, I just wanted to earn two credits.”

The news that Jiang Hai won the award in the United States spread like wildfire when the news reached back home.

A number of domestic media, especially CCTV, took the lead in starting to spread the message frantically across the country and even Asia:

"Chinese writer Jiang Hai becomes the first phenomenal writer in science fiction history to win both the American Hugo Award and the Japanese Nebula Award"

"Chinese writers compete with the rest! Who says that China can't produce writers who can influence the development of world literature?"

"The title of writer is not enough to summarize Jiang Hai's achievements! People's Daily commented: This is a great writer who influenced the development of Chinese literature."

"Who says there is no emperor in the human race? When you feel confused and shaken on your writing journey, the experience of writer Jiang Hai may inspire you."

Even so, Jiang Hai has already graduated from Chengxi Academy.

However, thanks to Jiang Hai's presence, the reputation of the Chinese Department of Chenghai Drama Academy is better than that of the Chinese Department of Peking University.

It can only be said that it is even better than before!

People cannot always live in the glory of the past.

It is true that over the past hundred years, Peking University’s Chinese Department has produced many literary masters who have influenced contemporary Chinese literature.

but!

Nowadays, when it comes to the influence of contemporary writers on young students, Jiang Hai——

It is absolutely unique!
Department of Education.

Under the leadership of President Fang Zhenguo, a resolution regarding the application for expansion of Chenghai Drama Academy was submitted to the review department.

In fact, it is not just Fang Zhenguo who wants to do this. All the successive presidents of Chenghai Theatre Academy have been working hard for it.

First, Chenghai Drama Academy was renamed Chenghai Drama University.

Although there is only one word difference between "college" and "university", when it comes to the degree of resource allocation, the difference between the two is more than one level.

After the school was renamed, it was proposed that Chengxi Academy be upgraded from the [Double First-Class] echelon to the [211] echelon.

The so-called 211 Project refers to a construction project oriented towards the 21st century, which focuses on building about 100 higher education institutions and a number of key disciplines.

Chenghai was renamed from a [College] to a [University], and then from the [Double First-Class] echelon to the [211] echelon.

As long as this thing is accomplished, for the teachers and students of Chengxi Opera——

That would be a great blessing!
In the past, a proposal similar to that of Principal Fang Zhenguo would never have been approved by the Education Department.

after all
"You want to move from a double first-class university to a 211 university, but don't other universities want to do the same?"

"If we open this loophole, other universities will come to apply with the same reason. Then our Education Department will have to approve or reject it."

However, so far, no domestic university has ever reviewed and approved such an outrageous proposal.

but!

The past is the past, the present is the present!

The reason why applications were rejected in the past was that no remarkable achievements had been made.

but now.
We have a famous artist named Jiang Hai in Chengxi!

When he heard that Jiang Hai won the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award in the United States, President Fang Zhenguo understood that this time—

This will be the best opportunity for them to make a comeback!
When the news that Fang Zhengguo submitted the name change of the school was known to the presidents of other "Double First-Class" schools, it immediately triggered a sharp rebuttal:

"Why did your Chengxi Opera get promoted to a 211 university?"

"We at Beijing Film Academy and CAFA have been waiting in line for a long time. If they really want to be promoted to 211, it will be our turn."

I thought it would be another fierce verbal battle.

Who would have thought that the words of the principal Fang Zhenguo would stop everyone's debate:
"We are Chengxi, and there is a Jianghai!"

"This is enough to prove the teaching quality of our Chenghai Drama Academy!"

"What right do you have to compete with us? What kind of students have emerged from your school?"

This was when the principal Fang Zhenguo was debating with a group of scholars.

World Science Fiction Writing Competition, award ceremony.

As the time of separation approaches.

President Alex looked at Jiang Hai with an extremely unwilling look:

"If possible, I really hope that a writer like you is born in the United States."

When asked again whether he was willing to join the United States.

Jiang Hai's answer was concise and to the point:

"First of all, there are no ifs in this world."

"Secondly, if you have followed me and know that I have an anime called "That Rabbit", then you should understand my attitude towards my motherland—"

"I have no regrets about coming to China in this life, and I will still grow flowers in my next life."

"I will always deeply love my motherland"

The poet Xu Zhimo in "A Farewell to Cambridge".

On the theme of parting, he wrote two lines of poetry:

"I leave quietly, just as I came quietly; I wave goodbye to the clouds in the west."

When Jiang Hai came to the United States and attended the World Science Fiction Writing Competition, he did not cause any waves.

Because at that time, no one cared about him at all.

Nowadays, even though he is famous in the world science fiction writing competition, even on the streets of New York and Times Square, there are voices discussing this legendary writer.

But Jiang Hai's departure still did not cause any waves.

After accepting the award ceremony.

Jiang Hai declined all interview requests from American media.

Fame and fortune are nothing but clouds.

For Jiang Hai, what he wants is——

Just inner peace.

Los Angeles International Airport.

Tie Ning, Chairman of the China Writers Association, walked up to Jiang Hai with a check-in ticket in his hand:
"The tickets are ready."

"Jiang Hai, Director Qi asked me to tell you that the Education Department has prepared a celebration banquet for your return. Many important leaders will be present at the celebration banquet."

"This time, you are a hero to the country."

Tie Ning was talking incessantly, telling Jiang Hai about his vision after returning home.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Hai suddenly stood up and said to him:
"I'm not going back."

This sudden rejection left Tie Ning completely stunned.

You're not going back to your country?

Where are you going if you don’t return to your country?

That was when Tie Ning didn't understand the situation.

At the other end of the airport, Princess Gwen, dressed in a black dress, slowly walked up to him:

"Jiang Hai, the special plane is ready."
