934. The Harvest Season
At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, it is the harvest season.
At the beginning of December, Wang Yinzhen and Gu Qijing received invitations to various parties, award ceremonies, and annual meetings one after another.
In order to invite big-name and popular celebrities, these organizers do their best, often sending out invitations one or two months in advance, full of sincerity, which is difficult to refuse.
Before the show on Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Xiang picked two.
After Chinese New Year's Eve, he refused any program until the Lantern Festival.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Li wants to participate in the Spring Festival Gala.
He didn't receive an invitation last year, but this year it was confirmed in November, and the director of the Spring Festival Gala personally called to finalize it to prevent Li Xiang from being poached by other TV stations' galas.
Except for the Spring Festival Gala, Li Xiang does not plan to participate in other galas, although they have specially staggered the time.
After the winter solstice, Li Xiang packed his bags, took Gu Qijing, Xiao Zhang, and Tomoko Tanaka, as well as a male translator from Ding Ding Book City, and set off for Fusang.
Akutagawa Aijia's cover of Li Xiang's song has been officially released, and within a week of its release, various data exploded, and even Tomoko Tanaka, who sang "Little Love" in Fuso for the first time, is also famous.
This trip to Fuso was an invitation from Akutagawa Aijia, and it also conformed to Li Xiang's purpose of opening up the Japanese music market, so he happily went.
Shengjing has been snowing heavily for a while and sunny for a while these days, and the weather in Fusang is even worse, and the moment Li Xiang got off the plane, the snow was falling, and finally let him know why this place is called the Snow Capital again.
After two days in Fuso, I participated in a TV show, soaked in a hot spring with a local monkey, and was scheduled to return on the third day, but due to heavy snow and road closures, the plane was grounded, so I had to add two more days.
In the past two days, the local writers in Fuso learned about the visit of the new Goncourt Prize winner and the youngest award-winning writer through television and the news, and warmly invited them to participate in their activities, which made a symposium of less than 10 people into a huge momentum, and finally more than 70 writers attended.
If it weren't for the short preparation time, the number of people would have risen, and no one knows how many people would have attended in the end.
This confirms Li Xiang's popularity in Fuso.
Although Li Xiang is most famous overseas for "The Old Man and the Sea", it is a little different in Fuso.
The writers here pay more attention to the other two.
One is "I Am a Cat".
The original work of "I Am a Cat" is in Japanese, and the writers of Fuso are understandably concerned, and Li Xiang can understand it, but they are also very concerned about his earliest short story "Escape"!
This made Li Xiang incomprehensible for a while.
This short story is Li Xiang's earliest one. At that time, it was the summer vacation after the college entrance examination, and he wrote it intermittently while participating in "Today's Star", and later showed it to Xiang Shuying, and she forwarded it to the "Harvest" magazine in Guangdong for publication.
Compared with the later ones, whether it is "Love Life" or "I Am a Cat", the artistry is much worse.
However, in Fuso, this short story, which is not very well known in China, was unexpectedly popular.
The writers here continue to discuss with him some of the metaphors in this short essay, and whether the protagonist finally commits suicide.
After chatting with them, Li Xiang realized that the reason why "Escape Technique" was popular was because the Fusang people had a soft spot for suicide.
Historically, many of their great writers have taken pride in their lives by committing suicide.
Fuso has the highest suicide rate in the world.
In their culture, suicide is not a sign of cowardice and evasion, but a sign of courage and responsibility, with strong heroism and romanticism.
Suicide, if done in a proper manner, can wash away a person's stigma and preserve the praise of others after death.
In Li Xiang's "Escape Technique", my cousin-in-law left a mantra of "no obstacles, no obstacles", and when he was placed under the steamroller, blood flowed sideways and became a meatloaf.
Fuso's writers were very interested in such an ending, in a sense, in line with their culture of suicide.
In their eyes, my cousin-in-law was not evading his responsibilities, but took up his responsibilities with a kind of personal heroism and romance, ending his humble but powerful life.
Three days later, the lead-gray clouds that had sunk in mid-air for five days finally dispersed, and the sun broke through the barriers, breaking through the clouds and casting warm sunlight onto the gloomy and damp earth. Fuso after the snow presents another kind of beauty in the sun, here
Li wanted to return to Shengjing, but Tomoko Tanaka continued to stay there, followed Akutagawa Aika to participate in some programs to increase exposure, and came back later.
After returning to China, Li Xiang participated in several programs, and then prepared for classes behind closed doors.
The countdown to the final exams of the university has begun, and there is not much time left for Li Xiang.
This semester, Li Xiang didn't attend class half of the time, that is, he was absent from class for half of the time, and if it weren't for the college to take care of him, a student like him who missed so much would have been expelled a long time ago.
But Li Xiang is an exception. Not only was he not expelled, but he lived a very nourishing life.
The school should take full care of him. He was a strong role model for the school and has now become the golden sign of the Forestry University.
This summer, the number of students applying for the new batch of schools applying for forestry universities has increased by 50% compared with the previous year, and many of them are for Li Xiangcai, such as Shi Jiaqi, who has an intersection with Li Xiang and caused Li Liming and Gao Chong to almost turn their faces.
Influence and popularity are an important reason for Forestry University to take care of Li Xiang, and another important reason is that although Li Xiang does not have much class time, his grades are very good, not to mention top-notch, but he has always been among the best.
He spends a lot of time outside of school, not only in schools and classrooms.
Of course, more importantly, he is smart and has a good brain. There are two ice and snow smart little sisters, and it's not bad to be an older brother.
Even if it wasn't for grades, Li Xiang had to study hard, because many people were staring at his academic performance.
There was related negative news this fall, accusing him of nominally studying in college, but in fact, he was more engaged in his career, singing, writing, and appearing on shows, and he didn't have much time to really study, and he didn't do what a college student should do.
"Go out~~" Li Xiang kicked Li Doudou's children out of the study for the fifth time.
He couldn't review his homework at school, so he had to live in his own home.
There are fans in the school who come to talk for various reasons, and they are not at ease at home, and there are children of Li Doudou and Li Shishi who come to chat for various reasons, like puppies, rushing and coming, coming and rushing, and can't stop, which is a joy for them in itself.
You can't lock the door yet.
When they lock the door, they will knock on the door, and they will sadly shout that their brother has a girlfriend and don't like them, and call Li Chao or complain to Xiaoyuan.
"Hold your foot for me, do you see this goalline? Lift your little foot over, yes, pass, okay, that's it, you must stand at the end of the door, and you must not step over, or I will be unkind to you." Li Xiang lifted the left foot of the little rabbit sister and lifted it behind the goal line, strictly forbidding her to step over.
"You're welcome?" Dou Dou asked in surprise.
Li Xiang nodded: "You're welcome." ”
"Do you want to kill Sister Bunny?"
That's not it, Li Xiang thought to himself, touched Dou Dou's little head melon seeds, and said, "Didn't you win several firsts in the sports meeting?"
When Dou Dou heard this, he smiled happily and his face was full of sorrow.
Li Xiang: "Don't you want to do those picture book workbooks for the prizes you won? Go, hurry up and do your homework." ”
Dou Dou: "...... Won't you drive the young lady away when I do my homework?"
Li Xiang hesitated.
Dou Dou immediately puffed out his cheeks, obviously unhappy.
Li thought: "Okay, okay, as long as you bring your homework book, I won't drive you away." ”
As soon as the words fell, Dou Dou shouted "Chong Duck~~", and really rushed out of the duck.
The cowhide dog spirit finally left, Li wanted to turn around and go back to the room, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, as if he was stared at by some kitten and puppy cutie, his eyes patrolled the windowsill, and then turned to the corner by the door......
There's a kid hiding here!
It is Mr. Xiao Li who is standing in the corner with a pair of small hands behind his back and against the wall.
I saw that she was silent, only staring at him with big eyes, if it weren't for these pure big eyes, Li Xiang might have really ignored the past.
I said how I suddenly found that the teacher was gone, and I thought I was afraid of being driven out, so I consciously left first, and it turned out to be hidden here. Li Xiang has a headache, this one is actually more difficult.
It seemed that Li Xiang had a bad heart and planned to drive her out like Dou Dou, so the master took the lead and said: "If you are not happy, you can blossom." ”
