Vijay-Sharma's view represents a considerable number of die-hards who feel that a foreigner should not write a work related to their own culture, let alone win Asia's first Booker Prize.

"Liar, thief, you have stolen our honor!" The radicals shouted on the Internet, eager to arrest Zhang Chu back to India and cut it with a thousand knives.

Others are also aggressive, hoping not only that they will boycott "Life of Pi", but also that all their compatriots will refuse to read the book.

"Unreasonable, this is an honor that originally belonged to India, return the Booker Prize to us!"

"I thought it was written by an Indian writer, but I didn't expect it to be Chinese. Why did he write such a good work?"

"The Chinese don't believe in God at all, they don't have faith. It is impossible for Zhang Chu to write this kind of religion-based theme, their belief is to eat!"

"Indian culture is fantastic, it's a pride to live in such a country. ”

"Why did Zhang Chu write about India so well, but let the protagonist's family immigrate to Canada?"

This group of people may not even have read it, but because of a report, a vigorous patriotic flame was ignited, making Zhang Chu seem to have become the enemy of all Indians.

But fortunately, there are a few brain-dead after all, and there are still many people who have not been brought to the ditch, and the other part of the Indians have not been blinded, but are on Zhang Chu's side.

"I feel that a foreigner is willing to write the story of our India, which represents a recognition of Indian culture. It should be a good thing to prove that our culture is actually very appealing to him!"

"Maybe we should thank Zhang Chu for helping Indian culture spread around the world. ”

"Where did you get the confidence that if Zhang Chu didn't write about the Youth School, our local writers would be able to win the Booker Prize?"

"I love this book to death, and I don't care which country the author is!"

"I don't think it's a cultural thief, he doesn't say Indian culture is Chinese culture, I think it should be cultural propaganda. ”

India has such a large population, and before they could reach out to the outside world, they had already quarreled vigorously internally.

After the controversy, there was exposure, and this debate about whether Zhang Chu is Indian culture has extended directly from the Internet to the offline.

Not only are there discussions between colleagues and friends, but also social experts, cultural experts, writers, book critics, and even TV shows have related topics!

This is even more attention than the previous "Life of Pi" won the Booker Award, and its sales are swishing up like a rocket.

It must have been a bonus!

……

Zhang Chu was a little crying and laughing after seeing the Indian media report, and he really couldn't afford the hat of this cultural thief.

He didn't claim Indian culture for himself, nor did he preach about it, he just didn't want to destroy the original.

If it was a word thief, he had to admit it, because it was true. No matter how much of his own understanding is added to it, he is essentially a copyist, and Zhang Chu has never denied this.

The real cultural thief should probably be like South Korea, who has the courage to apply Chinese characters and the Dragon Boat Festival to the World Cultural Heritage.

However, when he continued to refresh the website, he found that he had another identity!

After the Indians put themselves as cultural thieves, some people in the country arranged for him to be a cultural traitor.

"Zhang Chu is not a thief, but a traitor! Our Chinese culture has a history of 5,000 years, and it is incomparably splendid, and it is simply a shame for our ancestors to be reduced to writing the story of Indian Ah San!"

"yes, we have so much to write about, why do we have to write about some British Sherlock Holmes fandom, and we have to write some Indian teenager story. ”

"The shame of the Chinese literary world, what is wrong to write about India, but is disliked by others as a cultural thief, is there anything worse than Zhang Chu?"

"Seriously, why did Juvenile Pi have to write about India. Can't you just write about Chinese teenagers?"

"Upstairs, where can I find tigers in China to drift with you? Now tigers are endangered and protected, and if you bring domestic tigers to Canada, you may have to be prosecuted by the authorities for smuggling." Or write abroad appropriately!"

"Pie's second story is too dark, if it is really written that he is Chinese, then as soon as the cannibalistic plot comes out, the defenders and keyboard warriors will stand up and demand that the book be sealed, saying that it is to smear the Chinese." ”

"Alas, it's a big fart, and it's actually quarrelling. said that Zhang Chuda is a cultural traitor, you go to see "Sou Shen Ji", go to see "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", go to see "Wanli Fifteen Years", these are all things that we only have in China!"

In fact, the negative news about Zhang Chu on the Internet has disappeared for a long time, and those keyboard warriors or marketing accounts know that praising Zhang Chu has not attracted much attention, and only criticism of him can attract the attention of netizens.

The previous Zhang Chu was too low-key, and he couldn't find any black spots except for the fast release of the book.

All day long, he either attends classes quietly at school, or sits at home to write books, which makes the sunspots almost grit their teeth.

This is clearly praising him!

If he came out to participate in a few more activities, maybe he could say that he was impetuous, and he didn't care about his studies, but Zhang Chu couldn't see him outside for a long time.

It's always reported when it's a release or a copyright deal, so it's a great opportunity.

First of all, the foreign media began to scold, and the marketing accounts have a very good reason that they are just reprinting the news of foreign media and the comments on the Internet.

They didn't say that they were selective, and those who said good things were not included, and those who said bad things were included!

makes Zhang Chu a bit like Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror now, not a human feeling inside and out.

"It's all about it, it seems that in the future, it's better not to write those thankless articles, and even if you want to write, you have to change the background. ”

Zhang Chu sat in front of the computer chair and muttered to himself, he didn't pay attention to these negative comments, but closed the laptop, went to find a casual clothes and prepared to go out.

This afternoon was the interview time he had made with the three interviewees, and in order to avoid embarrassing each other, each of them was separated by an hour.

It's not just about thinking about it all the time, but now it's finally come to fruition.

And Zhou Kang became his undercover agent in Menglong Culture Media, trying to help delay time, and at the same time hiding Zhang Chu's intentions, waiting for the company to be built before it was revealed!
