Chapter 288: In person
The article that Zhuang Yan clicked on was the "Butamannot ......" written by Stephen.
To be honest, this article, even if Zhuang Yan looks at it, I think the author's English is not very good, of course, it is undeniable that it seems that this author should be a very authentic American, because the words and sentences in the article are mixed with a lot of American regional slang.
In the article, the author also said that he is just a laid-off restaurant chef and has never written an article, so I hope everyone will not laugh at what he writes, he just wants to write about his feelings.
In the article, Stephen first described his life roughly, losing relatives due to war in his childhood, losing his wife in middle age, and being laid off in old age, which sounds like a history of blood and tears.
And Stephen himself said that he had a bad life in the past few years, and he couldn't see any hope for the future at all, and always felt that his life should end here, but God didn't allow him to die, so he could endure these years.
After talking about his own experience, he mentioned the book "The Old Man and the Sea", and also talked about his process of reading this book.
He read this book in a café, and he didn't understand the deep meaning of the book just after reading it, but the café owner clicked on him, and he also wrote down the conversation between the boss and himself based on his own memory.
"That's the conversation I had with my boss, Howard, who was a scholar, went to college, and what he said was always useful in our town. I am also very grateful to him for keeping me from missing such a good book, and for making me really understand this book. ”
"He told me the story of Helen Keller, and I was as moved as I was when I watched 'The Old Man and the Sea'. So I made the important decision to apply for a volunteer with the Helen Keller Foundation, and I hope that the foundation's reviewers will help me get through and do something meaningful in my lifetime. You may not know Helen Keller very well Chinese, but I really hope to introduce her to you......"
When Zhuang Yan saw this, he laughed, if other Chinese really didn't know who Helen Keller was, but as a person who had crossed over from the twenty-first century, it was impossible for him Zhuang Yan not to know this name.
Another name that has entered the textbook, Zhuang even thought that Helen Keller was the most powerful writer in the United States when he was a child.
However, the Chinese in this world really don't know much about Helen Keller, after all, they have not been in textbooks.
After reading the heartfelt words of this old man named Stephen, Zhuang Yan himself was quite moved, and he was also very pleased that Stephen was able to regain his hope and passion for life because of "The Old Man and the Sea".
Under the English of the original text, there is actually a Chinese translation.
Not every Chinese can understand English, so it needs to be translated into Chinese. It is also because it is translated into Chinese that this post is so popular.
The translation should be done spontaneously by netizens, and it should be that I feel good when I see this article, and I hope that more Chinese netizens can see it.
After reading it, Zhuang Yan did not quit, but clicked on the comment and wrote his own comment: "Thank you for your support, and I sincerely wish you can pass the review of the Helen Keller Foundation and become an angel who helps others." ”
Since this sentence was written to Stephen, it was naturally in English. After writing this sentence, Zhuang Yan quit the post, and he had to look at other posts in the community.
……
Wu said that these two days have been a bit busy, because the community he founded has been relatively active in the past two days, and everyone is discussing Zhuang Yan's new book, because the new book has just been sold all over the world at the same time.
He is the "cosmic fan of Zhuang Yan", that is, the moderator of the "Zhuangzi Speech" community.
As a moderator of the community, he needs to do a lot of things, nothing to see if there are any inappropriate remarks and advertisements in the community, he needs to delete these things in time, and there are some good posts that need to be refined and pinned.
And since yesterday, he has a new job - translation.
Stephen's post was translated by him, and he himself did this work, and after seeing Stephen's post at that time, he thought the post was good, so he helped translate it.
Coming back to this post, he wanted to see if there were any inappropriate remarks in the latest comments. As soon as he opened the post, he saw a row of comments of the same length before he could see the text of the comment.
"It's Zhuang Benzun coming?"
There are probably dozens of comments, all of which are this sentence.
Wu's so-called eyes lit up, Zhuang Yan himself came, what does this mean?
In order to figure out this problem, Wu so-called pulled the comments up, probably turned nearly 100 times, and finally saw a very popular comment.
Underneath this comment, there are already a dozen pages of comments. Look at the ID of this commentator - Zhuangziyan.
"Sure enough, it's Zhuang Yan!" Wu almost screamed.
After reading it carefully, I also clicked on the avatar and went to Zhuang Yan's personal homepage to read it, and after confirming that this was not a high imitation number, it was indeed Zhuang Yan himself, Wu was ecstatic.
This community has been established for more than three months and has become the largest community related to Zhuang Yan, and even FOF officials have put their community on the front page of the Chinese homepage.
But so far, their community has not had any contact with Zhuang Yan, and even they are not sure if Zhuang Yan knows that their group has created such a community.
And today, when he saw Zhuang Yan's comments in the post, a thousand words suddenly poured out of his heart, but he didn't know who to talk to.
Before he could stabilize his mood, the deputy moderator He Biru's phone called.
"Lao Wu, have you seen the community, Zhuang Yan is here. As soon as the phone was connected, He Biryu almost shouted out on the other side of the phone.
Wu's so-called ears were blown up by him and plucked his ears, Wu so-called said: "I saw his comment in that post, and I was happy, but I wasn't so excited." ”
"What comment, he made a post directly, haven't you seen it yet?"
Wu was stunned, what post?
Before the phone hung up, he entered the community, and sure enough, in the few minutes he had just left, there was an extra hot post on the homepage.
Looking at the poster, it was Zhuang Yan who was right.
"To the Community Fathers", this is the title of the post.
It reads:
"I only found out today that there is still a community about me, and when I came in with curiosity, I could feel the enthusiasm of everyone. I am also very grateful for the hard work of the moderators......"
