A black night has enveloped the entire area along the River Thames. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Look down from high in the sky.

The whole of London is shrouded in lights and shines.

In the UK.

Especially in a modern art city like London, which is home to a glittering ancient culture and classics, fashion has never been far away.

Not far away, Big Ben had just struck its twelfth bell.

The new year is slowly approaching in the night.

Revelry and shouts filled the city.

But in the Anne Bookstore on St. George Street.

Time seems to stand still here.

The hustle and bustle is gone.

Only the breath of tranquility and the soft white light remained.

Although it was Chinese New Year's Eve.

But there are still quite a few young men and women who like to sneak into the book house at this time, quietly and have fun in the words.

There was a report that almost every day of the 365 days of the British mind was a reading day, although this was somewhat exaggerated.

But it proves the reality of the British love of books in another way.

In the UK, it's common for someone to read with a book in their hand.

on the train.

on the car.

Roadside.

Everywhere.

And like tonight, there are not a few people who go into the book house on Chinese New Year's Eve to find good books.

On a bookshelf at the entrance of the bookstore, there is a stack of new books.

On the cover of the book cover, the two big characters "China" stand out.

This cover is the cover that Wang Dongdong negotiated with Ryan after consulting with Lin Tao, and the phrase "a magical work from a Chinese writer" is printed in the most conspicuous position on the cover.

Both Wang Dongdong and Ryan think this is the best way to attract attention.

And in fact.

And they did.

Almost everyone who sees this sentence can't help but pull out the book and look through the table of contents.

"Kung Fu Panda, what kind of book is this?"

"I don't think it's a good work written by the Chinese. ”

"Can Chinese write good-looking works?"

"Hey, you Chinese wrote it. ”

One after another.

It's a lot to hear such statements in bookstores.

Yang Mei frowned a little, but she didn't try to refute anything.

As a Chinese student who studied at King's College London for more than three years, she knew that such a rebuttal made no sense, except for a few nasty sarcasm.

The British are not all gentlemen as they are portrayed in the books.

Contrary.

In a world-class city like London, Chinese culture doesn't have that far-reaching influence, at least when it comes to literature.

In London bookstores, you can rarely see new books by Chinese authors, and even fewer are on sale on Chinese New Year's Eve like today.

Yang Mei picked a book from the bookshelf with some curiosity, found a corner, and began to quietly turn the pages.

"Kung Fu Panda?"

How the title of the book is somewhat familiar.

Yang Mei suddenly felt that the name in front of her seemed to have been seen there, but she didn't realize that it was indeed not the first time she had seen this book.

The last time she was browsing for domestic information on the Internet, she once saw a report in China that the 2005 Chinese domestic market book sales champion was won back by a Chinese work.

And the name of that work is "Kung Fu Panda".

Naturally, Yang Mei would not have imagined that this Chinese work would be released in Europe in such a short period of time.

"I dedicate this book to my mother. ”

On the title page of the European edition of the release, Wang Dongdong wrote this sentence according to Lin Tao's meaning.

Yang Mei saw this line of words, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

This author understands quite well, and I believe that the average reader will like this sentence, after all, a person who respects his mother, at least emotionally, will not be too indifferent.

Different from the Chinese version.

The English version of Kung Fu Panda has been heavily illustrated and introductory.

For example, at the end of the book, Yang Mei sees a page of panda paintings, detailing things about Chinese pandas, as well as a series of introductory texts such as what is called "Chinese Kung Fu", what is "Tai Chi", what is "Yin and Yang Liangyi", and so on.

It's interesting.

If this author added these contents, it means that he has a heart.

For the promotion of Chinese culture, this subtle form is far more than some promotional videos and materials.

After briefly flipping through the general situation of the book.

Yang Mei really started to look at the story from the first page.

This look.

Time passed as if it had come to a standstill.

It wasn't until there was a commotion in her ears that she woke up suddenly.

Rubbing his eyes, which were a little sour.

Yang Mei was a little surprised.

"Great book. ”

She couldn't help but clench her fists in the corner and scream.

With the latest episode of Harry Potter coming to an end, it's hard to find such a wonderful novel on the market.

As a loyal Harbin fan, Yang Mei did not hesitate to change her original intention at this moment, and she decided to catch up with this "Kung Fu Panda".

"Wow, give me a copy!"

"Mine!"

"I have one more here!"

The hustle and bustle in her ears that was difficult to see made Yang Mei a little surprised.

Anne's Bookstore, one of the most famous bookstores on St. George's Street, has always been known for its quiet atmosphere, but it seems a little weird today.

Holding the book in her hand, she walked to the front desk of the bookstore in a bit of a daze.

The scene in front of her really scared her.

Dozens or hundreds of people lined up in three rows between their fingers turned out to be no different from when they snapped up Harry Potter.

"Hey, sell me the book you have in your hand, and I'll pay twice the price. ”

Just when she was confused.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in my ears.

Turn your face.

I saw a beautiful Western girl staring at the book "Kung Fu Panda" in her hand with an excited face.

"Twice?"

She even felt that she had misheard it, and even repeated it once.

But before the girl could answer.

The waiter at the counter said suddenly.

"Sorry, we don't have any more, not a single one!"

After speaking, he spread his hand and made a regretful expression.

"Oh!"

“****!”

"How so!"

“mygod！”

"Yes, twice, no, three, I'm willing to triple!"

Yang Mei still hadn't figured out the situation in front of her, she was still immersed in the plot of the story and was a little confused.

However, just after the girl said it with some excitement.

Soon.

A whole crowd turned around her.

"I'm out four!"

"£20!"

"Five times, beautiful Chinese girl, I'm willing to give you five times the price!"

"£50!"

Wow!

I don't know who shouted out the figure of 50 pounds, and the scene suddenly became a little noisy as if it were out of control.

And Yang Mei was a little overwhelmed.

For a book priced at just £4.88, £50 is undoubtedly more than tenfold over.

That's a lot more money than buying antiques.

Yang Mei was a little stunned and was taken from her hand, and then forcibly stuffed her with a 50 pound bill.

Until she walked out of the bookstore, she was a little stunned.

But then, when she understood something, she became a little annoyed.

Apparently.

She seemed to understand a little late.

"Kung Fu Panda" turned out to be out of stock.

Oh! Mygod!

It's even a little incredible. (To be continued.) )
