Chapter 780: Emancipation Proclamation

"Actually, I don't think Scarlett is good enough, but she lives in the southern slave owner class, and although she is also against slavery, her thinking is still a little backward compared to what she is now. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Gone with the Wind" is a relatively controversial work. Although "Gone with the Wind" has always been regarded as high literature, there are many racist plots in "Gone with the Wind". In this, either some supporting characters discriminate against blacks, or the protagonist involuntarily discriminates. Therefore, when later generations evaluated "Gone with the Wind", although they also affirmed that "Gone with the Wind" successfully portrayed a strong American woman, "Gone with the Wind" also committed racial discrimination.

But Huang Yifan does not think that "Gone with the Wind" is a work of racial discrimination.

On the contrary, Piao Shi is an anti-racist work.

In Piao, whether it is the supporting role in the plot or the protagonist, the author just restores their true situation. Through "Gone with the Wind", we can even understand more deeply the discrimination of white Americans against blacks.

However, Huang Yifan still felt that Piao had not done enough, so he wrote a postscript after Piao ended.

The afterword reads:

[100 years ago, a great American signed the Emancipation Proclamation. The promulgation of this important decree was like a beacon of hope for millions of black slaves who were scorched in the flames of injustice, and like a joyful dawn that ended a long night of confinement. Now, 100 years later, we must face up to the tragic fact that black people are not yet free. Now, 100 years later, under the shackles of apartheid and the yoke of racial discrimination, black lives are being squeezed. Today, 100 years later, black people still live on an impoverished island in the midst of a sea of material abundance. Today, 100 years later, blacks are still huddled in the corners of American society and realize that they are exiles in their homeland......]

After writing the postscript, everything is ready.

Huang Yifan met with the publishing house he had previously cooperated with in the United States, and a great masterpiece officially entered the publishing process.

There was no publicity.

Huang Yifan didn't want to do any publicity.

Although the pseudonym HYF has become a global sensation after writing Harry Bolt. However, Gone with the Wind and Hallibot are two completely different types of works. Harry Bot is more of a teenager and a child to buy, but Gone with the Wind is high literature, a book for adults. Therefore, even if Huang Yifan really goes to publicize, at most he can only stimulate sales in the short term, and it is useless for a long time.

If this book is not for the reader's taste, then Piao will also be abandoned.

Therefore, Huang Yifan didn't want to do any publicity.

In fact, Huang Yifan also knows. A work that can become a masterpiece does not need to be promoted much at all. The only difference between a masterpiece and a popular bestseller is that it doesn't sell well as soon as it hits the market. However, the incomparable connotation exuded by the masterpiece can be long-lasting, long-lasting, and has always exploded his influence.

Just like the four great domestic masterpieces.

The four famous novels have never been on the weekly best-selling list, monthly best-selling list, and annual best-selling list.

On the contrary, some popular and best-selling works reach the top every day.

However, if you look at it a few years later, you will find that the sales of these works that have been on the best-selling list are far behind the four famous books.

The same is true of Gone with the Wind.

After the release of the work "Gone with the Wind", Gone with the Wind did not attract too many people's attention at the beginning.

However, as long as one reader buys Piao, then his power is spread.

Of course, at the beginning his spread had little impact.

A week passed, and the drift had no effect.

Two weeks later, the drift still has no effect.

Three weeks have passed, and several posts have appeared on the forum discussing Gone with the Wind.

Four weeks have passed, and the well-known reading forum Dougua Network has refined Piao's comments.

Five weeks have passed, and Piao has become a dark horse against the market.

Six weeks have passed, and it has topped the weekly best-selling list.

Seven weeks later, Piao is once again on the weekly best-selling list.

Eight weeks have passed, and Piao has topped the weekly best-selling list for the third time.

Nine weeks have passed......

Ten weeks have passed......

20 weeks have passed...... Gone with the Wind became synonymous with a masterpiece.

Yes.

Although the popularity of Piao is still not as popular as Harry Bot, although the number of sales copies of Piao is still less than half of Harry Bot.

But the appearance of this work has brought Piao an unparalleled reputation.

Unlike Hallibot, Hallibot, although it sold best, sold a horrific 100 million copies. However, people still evaluate this novel as a bestseller, and at most, it is just a super bestseller. Moreover, many people have always felt that the reason why Hallibot is successful is not because Hallibot really writes so well, and many people have always felt that Hallibot's writing is not much different from that of elementary school students. The reason why he sells so well is only because the money of elementary school students is easy to make.

But Piao is different.

Piao is not only a hot seller, but his hot reviews are like a storm.

"Actually, I wasn't interested in Gone with the Wind at first, although I knew that the author of Gone with the Wind was the famous HYF, but I always thought that HYF wrote children's literature. However, after being highly recommended by others, I had to reacquaint myself with HYF. What attracted me most about the novel was the love story of the heroine. Her love is not full of romance, nor is it the kind of wind and snow. Although the heroine also has this desire, the reality is too helpless. In order to achieve her goal, the heroine even uses some despicable techniques and means. However, it is this incomparably real concept of love life that makes each of our readers deeply reflective. The heroine told me a truth, the world is cruel, do you need love or life? ”

"I think the reason why Piao is so praised. It's not the love in Piao, but the strong character of the heroine in Piao. Before the Civil War, the heroine was still a Southern slave owner, she had all the fantasies about men, she had all the princess diseases like other women, she was vain, she was stingy, and she was even very stupid to make the man she liked jealous, she actually chose to marry another man. However, God created such a woman. No matter how stupid the heroine was before the war, after the outbreak of the war, the heroine completed her awakening to fate.

Suddenly, it seemed as if God had given her a revelation. The heroine abandoned all the squeamishness of the previous southern slave owner, she stood up bravely and took on the responsibility of protecting her family. After the end of the war, the heroine broke through all the shackles on women and pursued the realization of self-worth...... Yes, if I insist that this is a romance novel, then, I would rather think that it is an inspirational masterpiece. ”

There are so many comments about Gone with the Wind.

Almost everything, is about the praise of the float, without any hint of blasphemy.

They screamed, this is a masterpiece that is difficult to produce in a hundred years.

They were boiling over this work, and it has been a long time since there has been a masterpiece in the United States that can truly be called a work of high literature.

However, no matter what everyone thinks. What has the deepest impact on people is the afterword in the last chapter of "Gone with the Wind": "Actually, you are all wrong, the real meaning of Gone with the Wind is not in love, nor in inspiration, nor in the great scenes of the Civil War shown by Gone with Flow." The true meaning of Gone with the Wind lies in the afterword of HYF. In his afterword, HYF says. In a sense, I am writing this work to ask you to fulfill your promise. The founders of your republic made promises to every American in the majestic words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. They promised that all people, white or black or other races of color, would have an inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness......" (To be continued. )
