At the beginning of this book, it turns out to be an autobiographical work, written in "I" throughout, and the first-person method has become increasingly rare in contemporary works.

Chen Yingsong frowned, he didn't know what a double bachelor's degree in religious studies and zoology from the University of Toronto had to do with fantasy rafting, but the quality of a writer kept him calm and continued to read.

After all, not every book has an excellent beginning, and many works start with a subtle beginning, but as the plot unfolds, it will become more and more exciting.

[The doctors and nurses in the Mexican hospital were very kind to me, and so were the patients. Cancer patients or people who have been injured in a car accident, as soon as they hear my story, limp over or come to see me in a wheelchair, and their families come, even though they don't speak English and I don't speak Spanish......]

What kind of story can make strangers in the whole hospital comfort the protagonist of the story?

Chen Yingsong was aroused, he knew that the next plot was probably "I" was going to tell the story, and this first-person writing style can enhance the authenticity of the story, so that the reader thinks that it is real in a trance.

Everyone in the judges' room watched with relish, they were immersed in their different works, and after reading the first chapter, Chen Yingsong realized that this was actually the story of an Indian teenager!

"Good guy, who wrote this, it's not a small guts!"

Chinese writers write a lot of stories about foreigners, but not many can write well, after all, cultural differences are there, and it is difficult for non-deep-rooted locals to write well.

Chen Yingsong had to admire the author of "Youth Pi" for daring to take such a big risk to write the story of a foreign boy, which was either a masterpiece or a bad work.

Although many writers write about foreigners with foreign faces, they are still Chinese in their bones, and they also use Chinese views, except for the difference between their names and Chinese, the rest of their thinking and doing things are exactly the same.

However, the works written by really powerful writers can still see the atmosphere of foreigners, such as Zhang Chu's earth, in addition to Zhang Ailing, Mr. Lao She's work "Two Horses" is a pure British background, and Yu Dafu and Shi Yucun are similar.

Of course, Ye Shengtao, Ye Junjian, and Ye Yonglie have also written books with foreign backgrounds aimed at young readers.

Maybe you don't know that many stories of foreigners in primary school Chinese textbooks, such as Einstein when he was a child, Lenin dropped a vase, and Comrade Lenin lined up when he got a haircut, are actually written by Chinese!

To get back to the point, since the background of the story of Youth School is India, Chen Yingsong can't help but make a judgment when reading it, whether this work has the flavor of Indian culture.

But don't change the story to other places except for the characters and places.

With the protagonist's narration, the real story begins!

The name of the pie, the meaning of the name Mamagi in Indian Tamil, the best swimming pool in Paris, France, became the name of "I".

Under Zhang Chu's pen, the zoo of "my" home officially appeared in front of Chen Qingsong, and all kinds of animals jumped on the paper.

A few simple strokes can outline the appearance of this animal, and combined with the memory in the head, a vivid animal image appears.

"The writing is very good, simple and practical, and it is very vivid. ”

Pie who lives among animals is happy and simple, and this description is very lively, but it also hides a little clue.

Pie has a name, but the story about his name is not over, in the Indian pronunciation, Paisini Molitor Patel is different, this stalk was marked by Zhang Chu, many people think he is P-Singh, that is, the slang for pee is similar.

Through this simple description, Chen Yingsong saw an Indian teenager who was ridiculed by his classmates and successfully pulled back a game by using the infinite non-circular number of π under the guidance of science.

The family has a zoo with not only docile animals, but also many grumpy carnivores, and after his brother Ravi made a mistake, his father led Pie to the zoo with Ravi and Geeta to teach them one by one.

Tigers, Himalayan bears and sloth bears, hippos, orangutans, sika deer, it seems that every animal is aggressive.

is also such a detailed explanation, which makes Chen Yingsong feel a little cumbersome.

If he knew that this was still the result of Zhang Chuduo's revisions and deletions, he would be surprised that there were hundreds of thousands of words in the original book describing these animals!

Even if Zhang Chu tries to avoid burdensome situations, he has to set the stage for the rest of the story, such as the tiger in the zoo will tear the animals that enter the cage to pieces not because it is hungry, but because the rest of the animals have invaded its territory.

The description of the animal trainer using brain power to overcome physical strength will make the reader feel suddenly enlightened in the subsequent content, isn't it a similar situation for Pie to tame Richard Parker?

The more Chen Yingsong looked, the more spiritual he became, the protagonist in the story turned out to be a believer in three religions, he didn't know much about Hinduism, but after reading Zhang Chu's description, he felt that it should be like that.

Carved conical rolls of red tulip powder and yellow ginger, bright garlands and jingling bells, the scent of cigarette smoke, oil lamps circling in the dark, statues of gods for blessings, colorful murals, Brahma, Shiva, Krishna, Ganesha, and so on.

Zhang Chu explained many key details before the "drifting" of the Youth School with sincere brushstrokes, not only Hinduism, but also Yislan Christianity and Catholicism are also the beliefs of the faction.

The power of these beliefs can help people overcome the tribulations of life, overcome their demons, and regain their lives!

Before the real rafting began, Chen Yingsong's mind appeared as a young protagonist who was talented, intelligent, loved nature, and had equal tolerance and enthusiasm for different beliefs.

He looked at Deng Yiming, who was patrolling, and asked, "Old Deng, can you come over for a while?" I have something to ask you. ”

"What's the matter?"

Deng Yiming thought that there was something wrong with the works, these works had all been tested on the Internet, and the works suspected of plagiarism had already been directly screened and eliminated by the system.

Chen Yingsong smiled and said, "Take it easy, do we have foreign students or foreign friends participating in this essay contest?"

"As far as I know, there are none, they are all Chinese, after all, it is a good Chinese literature, and overseas Chinese are not included in it for the time being." ”

"That's weird, then. The book I read is very detailed about Indian culture, of course, it is really not true for the masters of Indian culture to identify, I thought it was an Indian or an overseas Chinese living in India for a long time!" Chen Yingsong stroked the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and guessed: "Could it be the kind of person who lives in India for a few years and then returns to China?"

Deng Yiming leaned over and looked at the reader in front of Chen Yingsong, the words "Fantasy Drifting" of Youth Pi were very conspicuous at the top of the screen, and his whole person suddenly became happy.

"Teacher Chen, you're just going to look away!"
