New york times:

"With the official announcement of the Apollo 11 manned lunar landing spacecraft on July 16, 1969, the day before yesterday, the whole world began to cheer, which is not only a big step for the American manned moon spacecraft, but also a small step for mankind to go into space.

This is the fifth manned spacecraft launch of NASA's Apollo program, but at the same time it is the first human mission to the moon, we cannot know the specific moon landing program, but thanks to human fantasy of the unknown, a large number of science fiction writers have emerged in recent years, providing us with more and more colorful science fiction.

With the birth of the world's first science fiction book "Frankenstein" written by Mary Shelley, the theme of science fiction has endured for a long time, and this year, more than 100 years later, there are many, many world-famous science fiction masters.

But in the past six months, there is a science fiction book called "1999 - Our Journey is the Sea of Stars", which not only sells well in the United States, but also ranks first on the science fiction list of best-selling books in the United States this year, and has been praised by science fiction master Isaac Asimov.

Through this newspaper's interview with Bantan Book Publishing Company, we learned that this book has sold 930,000 copies, and the printing house is still stepping up printing, and it is estimated that it will officially exceed 1 million copies of sales tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

I'm sure there are many readers who like the book "1999" who are curious about who Evan is, and how did Evan, who was unknown before writing "1999", come up with the idea of writing such a science fiction book that is both creative and intellectual?

Through this newspaper's interview with the editor-in-chief of the Bantan Book Publishing Company, Ziols learned that this blockbuster Evan was not an American, but a Chinese from Hong Kong, in the East.

In November 1968, in the International Writing Program Exchange Conference held with the University of Iowa in Iowa, this Chinese from Hong Kong, during the short half-month exchange meeting, created the best-selling "1999" in the United States, and at the recommendation of Mr. Paul, the founder of the International Writing Project, Mark, a professional editor of Bantan Book Publishing Company, accepted the submission ......"

With the report of the New York Times, in just two or three days, the news that Evan is Chinese quickly spread throughout the United States.

Many newspapers in the United States have used this as a gimmick and published a series of eye-catching headlines in their newspapers.

"Since 1776, the American Dream has been a symbol of freedom, equality, and democracy in the United States————, which is the same symbol of American freedom, equality, and democracy

"The young Chinese writer Evan, in just half a year, has gone from obscurity to becoming a best-selling science fiction writer in the United States, earning unimaginable wealth, this is undoubtedly the best explanation of the American dream, anyone, any race, any color, once he comes to the United States, the land of freedom, equality and democracy, will inevitably play all his values, and this will be your biggest stage!" ———— New York Daily

"As long as you are willing to work hard, be diligent enough, and be smart enough, the United States will be the place where you can give full play to your greatest value and potential, for more than 200 years, the United States has been the most desirable holy place for the people of the world, and last year a king came to Wall Street not only to obtain huge wealth, but also to become the new darling of the stock market this year!" ———— the Wall Street Journal

For several days, more than 100 newspapers in the United States used the gimmick that Evan is Chinese to promote the authenticity of the American dream.

This is a typical self-deceptive propaganda and cultural means, and when the whole world sees the ugly face of Americans in later generations, they will definitely dismiss this kind of report, and will show some sneer.

But in 1969, this was a subtle cultural propaganda of the United States to the outside world.

In October last year, a computer company founded by a Chinese king on Wall Street went public at a price of $12.5 per share, and the closing stock price was as high as $40.5 on the same day.

So far, there are many, many newspapers using Wang's example to promote the American dream, and this year there is a Chinese science fiction writer Evan who has become famous with a book that has sold millions of copies in the United States and become a veritable millionaire.

This myth of wealth created by the American dream, which is seen with one's own eyes in the present day, has attracted many people to the United States under the propaganda of several media groups that can be distributed to countries around the world, trying to repeat the path of Huo Hewang's wealth.

With the fermentation of time, in the next ten years, Wang and Huo's achievements in the United States are getting higher and higher, which also set off the persistence and upsurge of people all over the world for the American dream in the 70s, but at the same time, they also tasted the bitter fruit.

......

After the New York Times announced Huo Yaowen's identity, "1999" sold 300,000 copies in the United States again in just a few days, as expected by Bantan Book Publishing Company, and rushed to an astonishing sales of 1.25 million copies in one fell swoop.

People who didn't read science fiction in the past also followed the trend and went to bookstores to buy a copy of "1999", wanting to see how wonderful the book really is and can sell millions of copies.

But the vast majority of people who follow the trend to buy this book just want to see what science fiction written by Chinese people is like, and some people want to try to repeat Evan's road to fame.

Toni Morrison, a senior editor at Random House in New York, is trying to repeat Evan's rise to fame as a Chinese, as a senior editor at Random House, she has a deep literary background, and last year she helped boxing champion Ali write his own autobiography, but she never thought of writing her own book.

When she saw the national report that Huo Yaowen is a new generation of American dream, Toni Morrison's heart was hot, she was born and raised in the United States, and naturally knew how serious racial discrimination in the United States was, but when Huo Yaowen, a Chinese science fiction writer, caused a sensation in the United States, and reported it all positively, she was moved.

Toni Morrison sat in the public office, looked at the nearest colleague, his desk was three meters away, gritted his teeth, took out the pen and paper on the table, and began to write a story that she had already had a concept in her heart, and at the top of the white paper, wrote a beautiful string of English "The Bluest Eye".

......

As the American media hyped up the American dream, Yang Zongsheng and Chen Shaomin could say that they were excited, they couldn't see through the purpose of the American media to promote the American dream, but they could understand that after such a sensational report by the American media, Huo Yaowen could be said to have soared!

Although I don't want to admit it, but at this time, the United States, as a behemoth in the global economic system, is definitely a "holy place" that many people yearn for, and Huo Yaowen can become famous in this place, and it has been reported by more than hundreds of newspapers, radio and television stations in the United States.

Not only Hong Kong will be a sensation, but I am afraid that most of the Asian literary scene will be a sensation, and no writer has ever been able to make a name for himself in the United States, let alone an Asian American writer who has written a bestseller that has sold millions of copies in the United States.

These contents alone are enough for Yang Zongsheng and Chen Shaomin to write dozens of non-repetitive report articles, but in order to get more exciting news, they decided to interview someone from the New York Times as Hong Kong media reporters.

But no one recommended it, Yang Zongsheng and Chen Shaomin entered the New York Times Building, and they were invited out, and in desperation, they decided to find someone from Bantan Book Publishing Company, after all, Huo Yaowen's book was published here, and the other party thought that it should provide a little convenience.

In fact, just as Yang Zongsheng thought, the people of Bantan Book Publishing Company welcomed their arrival, and specially asked Mark to help contact a number of media in the United States, as well as several companies arranged for newspapers and television stations to boast that Huo Yaowen was a science fiction writer and some so-called experts and professors of the contemporary American dream.

Many of the people invited by the Bantan Book Publishing Company are influential writers in the American newspaper industry, and when they receive money, whether they are in their own intentions or for other purposes, they naturally blow up and praise Huo Yaowen's books very highly.

It took three full days to collect and sort out the positive remarks made by well-known American newspapers, well-known writers, TV hosts, etc., and then rushed back to Hong Kong by plane as quickly as possible, trying to publish this sensational news that had not yet made waves in Asia as soon as possible.

Huo Yaowen, who didn't know all this, was taking the 200,000 Hong Kong dollars obtained in advance with Luo Cheng's help at this time, and was ready to buy a thousand-foot mansion on Hong Kong Island, which could be regarded as fulfilling his first dream of rebirth.

Huo's mother was full of joy to visit this 1,300-square-foot mansion, deliberately compared the width of the kitchen and bathroom, and happily ran to the living room and said to Huo Yaowen: "Yaowen, this house is very good, when I just came over, I saw that the environment here is good, the nearby vegetable market is close, and the house also has three rooms and two living rooms. ”

"Or aunt, you have vision!"

The real estate manager of the old house next to him gave a thumbs up to Huo's mother and said: "Aunt's vision is really good, our community has a beautiful environment, there is a special vegetable market and seafood market in front of the street, and then there is a newly opened department store in the east, whether it is a travel comprador or daily life is extremely convenient, the most important thing is that this house has excellent feng shui, the owner who lived here before has made a fortune and immigrated to Canada, otherwise they are reluctant to sell such a good house." ”

was praised by the real estate manager, Huo's mother didn't mention how happy she was, looking at her son's eyes, as if she was saying that she would buy this set.

Huo Yaowen glanced at Huo's mother, then turned his head to look at Huo's father and grandma, and saw that they also liked it in their eyes, hesitated for a moment, and asked the real estate manager: "Manager Liu, this house is very good, but I want to buy two, I don't know if there is still one in this community." ”

"Yes!" Manager Liu heard that the other party wanted to buy two sets, subconsciously clenched his fists, and said excitedly: "The building in front, someone just entrusted us to sell a house yesterday, but it is only more than 700 feet, which is much smaller than this house, but I can guarantee that although the house is not this set, it is definitely not bad, why don't we go over there and have a look?"

Huo Yaowen calculated in his heart that the house of more than 70 square meters should be enough, nodded and said to Manager Liu: "Yes, go over and take a look now, and buy it if it is suitable." ”

"I guarantee that Mr. Huo is satisfied!" Manager Liu patted his chest.
