If you pick one of Guo Dalu's favorite novellas among the vast literary works in another world, it must be "The Old Man and the Sea".

This book fully shows what it means to be a tough guy, what it means to never compromise, and what it means to never bow down.

Compared with the tough guy temperament shown in this book, the rest of the works are a bit submissive, and there is a lot less taste of hard work.

Just like Yu Hua's "Alive", Lao She's "Crescent Moon" and "My Life" and other works of Chinese writers, the characters portrayed in these works are generally suffering, weak, and on the verge of struggling, lacking the spirit of resistance.

The tone of these works is too dark, too heavy to read, lacks a high-spirited spirit, is too pessimistic, and the image is too cowardly, which Guo Dalu does not like.

Because Guo Dalu himself is a person who does not admit defeat, his teeth are knocked out and blood is swallowed, his legs can be broken, but he can't bow his head, so what he admires most is that kind of iron-blooded man.

Just like in the book Condor Shooting, the most suitable for Guo Dalu's temper is not Hong Qigong, nor Huang Yaoshi, but the flying bat Ke Zhen Evil, Ke Blind's temper is somewhat similar to Guo Dalu's, but it's a pity that he has no brains, which is not liked.

And the old man in "The Old Man and the Sea" is a tough guy who is extremely tough, and does not highlight his shortcomings, fighting with the sky, fighting with the sea, fighting with the wind, fighting with the waves, fighting with sharks, fighting with fate, life is endless, fighting endlessly, even if he fails in the end, he will never give in.

This image of a tough guy is incomparable with the characters in martial arts, strong and real, with a shocking beauty.

Just like Mo Yan's "Red Sorghum", it is full of wild and rugged beauty, and has a huge power that hits people's hearts.

It's just that "Red Sorghum" is too distracted and complicated in portraying characters compared to "The Old Man and the Sea", and it feels like it is not as concise and powerful as "The Old Man and the Sea", so Guo Dalu prefers "The Old Man and the Sea".

The characters described in this book are simply the requirements of himself in his heart, not admitting defeat, not compromising, not giving in, and always fighting!

If "The True Story of Ah Q" is about the cowardice of escapism in human nature, then "The Old Man and the Sea" is the fighting spirit of facing difficulties, which makes people's blood surging and passionate, and they can't help but shout out loudly.

Ah Q is an indisputable merciful mockery, while the fisherman is a praise for a tough guy who never admits defeat.

Guo Dalu likes this book, and he feels that if this kind of work cannot be presented to the world from his hands, it is not his loss, but the loss of the world.

So he wrote all the national versions of this book, waiting for it to be presented to the world's readers at the right time.

Now that this opportunity has arrived, with the appreciation level of these Nobel laureates, it is natural not to bury this one.

"It's really ......"

Lei Yu read the manuscript in his hand for about ten minutes, and sighed, "Dalu, yours, plus "The True Story of Ah Q", are all works that transcend racial and national boundaries, and are an elaboration of human nature, there is no lack of substitution, there is nothing difficult to understand, but the charm is endless, and the more you touch it, the more flavorful it is." ”

He looked at Guo Dalu and said seriously, "I said before that as long as you write a few more works, you will have the possibility of winning the Nobel Prize, and I will retract my previous words now." ”

Lei Yu smiled: "You are eligible to win now!"

Several old men next to him agreed, "Yes, very wonderful description, the rhythm of the devil's pace This is a work that makes the soul shudder and breathe hard!"

"I will recommend this book to you like the organizing committee!"

"We may have seen a wonderful work come out!"

"Guo, I think you should really consider doing translation, compared to your film and television work, being a translator is where you can reflect your most value. ”

Guo Dalu laughed and said: "No, no, no, the things that can best reflect the value have to be film and television works now, because these works can make the value concrete, and will produce red or green banknotes, although the taste is very smelly, but it has greater magic than literature, and sometimes it can control a lot of things." ”

He looked at the old men on the scene, "Including your bonuses!"

Conrad spread his hands, "Oh, Guo, you're so cruel like this! Directly linking words to money is disrespectful to literature." ”

Guo Dalu said: "Old man, if you say so, it is disrespectful to money!"

Lei Yu laughed a few times, "Dalu, so many people are watching, don't go too far." I haven't claimed this prize yet!"

After a few old men exchanged for a while, they were older, less energetic, and tired, so the exchange meeting ended.

This exchange meeting should be the most bizarre exchange meeting, in a sense, it is simply a product promotion meeting, as for the product promoted, it is Guo Dalu's "The Old Man and the Sea" that Guo Dalu asked people to print on the spot.

After returning to the hotel, Lei Yu read and looked at the manuscript he brought from the conference hall, "Okay, okay, Dalu, you write this book well! If you want me to say, we can publish it directly here in Sweden, and we can take the opportunity to make a name for you! Let's write a preface for you together!"

Guo Dalu thought for a while, "This is a good idea, with a few of you as a preface, it is difficult for me to think about this book if it is not popular!"

So in the history of human culture, the only one that was prefaced by six Nobel laureates at the same time was born, that is, at such a node, these old men happened to gather together, and there was no such good opportunity to change to another place.

With the joint recommendation of Lei Yu and Conrad and others, this "The Old Man and the Sea" has been printed by a publishing house in only three days, and by the time Lei Yu and others are ready to leave Sweden, these old people will each have a copy of "The Old Man and the Sea", which has become a live advertisement for Guo Dalu's new book.

The literary works that can be praised by Nobel laureates and have become their reading materials have naturally attracted wide attention in the literary circles, so this book has just been printed and has not yet been published, and some people began to talk to Guo Dalu about the issue of publishing.

"Guo Dalu's new work is unanimously praised by Nobel laureates"

"The Man Who Will Be Named the Next Nobel Laureate"

"Guo Dalu released a new work in Sweden and was applauded by the master"

"Perhaps, Guo Ye didn't brag!"

When the news came back to China, the media was boiling.

When Guo Dalu said that he was going to win the Nobel Prize, everyone agreed that he was bragging, but now five or six Nobel Prize winners have unanimously praised his new work, which is a bit of a slap in the face.

Could it be that the vision of these Nobel laureates is not as good as that of these keyboard warriors?

Some fans of Guo Dalu immediately became stunned.

"See it, this is our Guo Ye's strength!"

"If you can win a prize, you can win a prize, Guo Ye is really a real man, and he does what he says! Even if he doesn't win the award in the end, it shows that he has the strength to compete for the award!"

"Blind my kryptonite dog eyes! Guo Ye is so fierce? What kind of book is it, so?"

"Tongqiu, what kind of book is it? It was unanimously recommended by the six Nobel laureates, if I don't read it, will I be laughed at?"

Guo Dalu's book has not yet been published, but it has become popular all over the world.
