At noon on Sunday, the sun was shining and white clouds were floating in the sky.

The window facing the desk was open, and the breeze brought in the scent of plants and trees from the plane trees outside the courtyard, and the sunlight also sneaked in, pouring on the desk, which was extremely warm.

What a time to write! Govyn thought lazily as he crouched over his desk and pondered the idea of a new short story.

Then he heard a sudden thud and someone kicked him away, and then a man rushed in.

Fluttering thoughts were beaten 1uan, Ge Wen couldn't help frowning, and looked up to see that it was Lin Yiming. I saw that this xiaozi had a ruddy face and was sweating profusely, obviously having just had a strenuous exercise. In his hand he held a newspaper.

Govyn ...... Event...... Big deal, Ba Lao, Ba Lao he ......"

"What? What happened to Barkin?! Ge Wen was shocked when he heard this, and with a pout, he stood up from the chair, and his heart had already thrown Lin Yiming's rash actions out of the clouds.

Since Gowen knew that the "Harvest" magazine was in charge of Mr. Ba Jin, he asked Lin Yiming, who also admired Ba Jin, about various anecdotes of Ba Jin from time to time, and when Lin Yiming proudly boasted about Ba Jin's guidance on his writing, Gowen always listened attentively and did not get bored at all. At this time, seeing Lin Yiming's appearance, and hearing him say that Ba Jin had an accident, he couldn't help but feel anxious.

Ignoring Gowen's questioning, Lin Yiming rushed to the desk in a few steps, picked up the teacup that Gowen was hanging on the desk, and poured the whole tank of water into his stomach with a grunt. Then he said loudly to Govin as if he had eased his strength: "Do you know that just yesterday, François Mitterrand, the President of the French Republic, who came to China to visit Wèn, personally held a ceremony to award the French Legion of Honor to Palau at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. Today's "Guangming Daily" has a special editorial! ”

As he spoke, Lin Yiming proudly raised the newspaper in his hand, as if he had received a medal by himself.

Only then did Govin put his mind at ease, and couldn't help but give Lin Yiming a big roll of his eyes, he thought something had happened to Ba Jin.

Lin Yiming didn't notice the drastic change in Gowen's mood at all, he held the newspaper with great interest, and read the comments on it word by word:

Yesterday evening, François Mitterrand, President of the French Republic, held a ceremony in the Great Hall of the People to confer the French Legion of Honor on our writer Barkin, and delivered an important speech.

Master, I am honored to award you the Order of the Legion of Honor in the name of the French government.

My country is here to revere one of the greatest writers of modern China, the author of the immortal works of "Home", "Cold Night" and "Rest Garden", and the creator of tireless writing. His free, open-minded and broad mind has made him one of the great witnesses of this century.

You once wrote in your own handwriting one day: "I have never been a great writer, I dare not even dream of writing epics." As a 'critic' who '......came out of his life' put it, I 'didn't dare to face the bloody reality', so I only wrote about what I had heard and witnessed. "Yet you are watching life with your great sympathy for people and their fragile fate, with this sense of resistance to the injustice that oppresses the poorest, with this, as one of your most striking figures brilliantly said, 'to wipe out every tearful eye' that imbues your writings with power and meaning to the world.

Today France also brings honor to a friend. He transcended space and time to bring her friendship to the young university students from Sichuan who were in Paris 50 years ago and were full of affection for the great men of our revolution and the lives of our people, and to those who were loyal and unswerving.

For the Frenchman who had the privilege of witnessing your young talent in the past, to those who welcomed you again many years later when you returned to our country with the first Chinese PEN delegation, and especially to the countless readers who are attracted today by the growing number of translations of your writings, and who turn to these wonderful chapters, you are the image of China itself, an image of a fraternal China that has withstood the test of centuries and that continues to generate the impetus for its own revival.

Today, behind you, in the Chinese realm, a new generation is rising. They see themselves in your image and place their hopes in the imitation of you, an old man, who for you, "is a beautiful thing, and this has always been a source of inspiration for me." "This generation is preparing, and has begun, to follow in your footsteps and to show the world on its own that a modern, open, and diverse China is determined to contribute to the great cultural movement of humanity.

Maestro, you, French thongguò, pay tribute to this generation.

……

"Show me," although Lin Yiming's Mandarin is not bad, but Gewen, who is a fan of Ba Jin, couldn't wait for him to finish, snatched the newspaper from his hand, and looked at it with wide eyes:

In order to receive the French president and receive the honor of the French Legion of Honor, Ba Jin, who was attending the meeting of the Writers' Association in Beijing yesterday, was invited to attend the ceremony at the Great Hall of the People.

At the time of his award, he said: "As a Chinese writer, it is a great honor for me that my works have been translated into French and loved by readers. My first work was written in France, and since then I have taken the path.

More than 50 years have passed, and today's visit to Beijing to confer a medal on me is not my personal achievement, but His Excellency's respect for our socialist motherland, respect for the time-honored Chinese culture, and a symbol of the French people's friendship with the Chinese people.

It is with pleasure and gratitude that I accept this honor. In the future, I will make greater efforts to promote the friendship between the two peoples and the flow of culture. ”

After receiving the medal, Mr. Barking presented President Mitterrand with a new edition of the 10-volume Selected Works of Barkin. Mitterrand said to Barkin, "Monsieur Barkin, you know a great deal about the history of the French Revolution, and I know that you have written about Danton and Robespierre in literary form, and you know very well about them. I'm glad to be able to meet you. As the representative of France, I am glad that I have the opportunity to honour you. It is also an honor for France, because you are one of the great writers of the contemporary world and your work has a lot of influence among French readers. ”

……

Gowen's eyes moved back and forth with the words in the newspaper, but his heart was boiling: this is Ba Jin, his "Home", "Net Wind" and "Autumn", his "Cold Night" and "Rest Garden", and his "Caprice" reveal all kinds of social realities and awaken the conscience of the broad masses of the people. His words not only allow the Chinese people to explore truth and perfection and purify their hearts, but also win the respect of the people of the world.

The charm knows no borders!

At noon that day, Govin went out to buy a bottle of soju unexpectedly by Lin Yiming.

Taking the editorial of "Guangming Daily" to the food, the two of them got drunk.
