Of the many arts in the world—fine arts, music, literature, and so on—if one were to be chosen for the one that had the most profound influence on politics, it would undoubtedly be literature.

The power of words is enormous, and a scholar's pen can sometimes subvert a country, and sometimes change the trajectory of history.

Therefore, Ye Yu's previous three pop songs - "They-Don't-Care-About-Us", "Where-Is-The-Love", and "We-Are-The-World" - may not be as powerful as the atomic bomb he dropped at this time!

Uncle Tom's Cabin.

In China, it is also translated as "The Black Slave Calls for Heaven".

This is Harriet, an American writer in a previous life? Beecto? An anti-slavery novel published in 1852 by Stowe (Mrs. Stowe).

The novel's views on African Americans and slavery in the United States had a profound impact and fuelled the local conflicts in the region that led to the American Civil War!

Within its first year of publication, it sold 300,000 copies in the United States!

That's right, more than 160 years ago, when books were only a consumer product for a small number of people and the total population of the United States was just over 30 million, in the first year alone, it sold 300,000 copies in the United States!

In a previous life, its impact on American society was so great that in the early days of the Civil War, when President Lincoln met with Mrs. Stowe, he said, "You are the little woman who started a great war." ”

……

"Ye opened a Twitter account?!" Looking at the newspaper, Joseph, editor-in-chief of For-Books Publishing? Sawyer was surprised and couldn't help but blurt out.

During this period of time, the country has been too chaotic, there is too much news, and the police are too busy with other things. There is no time to care about the veracity of some news reports, so some exaggerated news, vague news, and even fake news have begun to appear to attract readers' attention.

For example, Ye was shot and died, Martin was shot and hospitalized, fell into a coma, and so on.

So. When Joseph read in the newspaper that Ye had opened a Twitter account, he couldn't help but be a little surprised and a little suspicious.

You know, all along, Ye has been using Huaxia's scarf.

"Yes, Daddy!" On the side, her daughter Liz said excitedly, "Ye just opened a Twitter account yesterday. There is a promotion on the front page of Twitter. I've been following him since yesterday. He's so popular. Not long after it was opened yesterday, many people paid attention to it. However, he only sent a greeting and never spoke again......"

As she spoke, Liz took out her phone and opened the Twitter app, wanting to show her father and look at it. But he was surprised: "A lot of news! That's a lot more! Hey? Why is it all long news? Chapter 1, Chapter 2...... Is this a novel? ”

Twitter in the past life did not support long messages. But Twitter in this world is supported, with a maximum of 20,000 characters per long message.

"Oh? A novel? Show me. As soon as he heard the novel, Joseph spoke.

As the editor-in-chief of For-Books, the largest publishing house in the United States, Joseph is very sensitive to the word "novel".

Liz complained: "You watch it yourself on your phone!" ”

Joseph was stunned, shrugged, and said, "OK." ”

After speaking. He took out his mobile phone, opened the Twitter APP, found Ye Yu's account from the homepage promotion, and clicked in.

Glancing at the first greeting message, he looked at the other long messages—those that were posted at short intervals. Obviously, Ye wrote it first, and then copied and pasted it in turn.

At a glance, Joseph knew that it was indeed a novel, titled "Uncle-Tom's-Cabin;or-Life-Among-the-Lowly."

Suddenly, Joseph perked up and started to look at it from the beginning.

At this look, he was fascinated, and he was completely immersed in it.

Joseph reads books so fast that his daughter Liz has finished reading them before she finishes half of them.

After reading it, Joseph was silent.

He didn't speak for a long time.

"Joseph, Joseph, what's wrong with you?" On the side, his wife saw that he looked a little strange, and couldn't help but speak.

"Huh?!" Hearing the voice, Joseph woke up suddenly, turned to his wife, and said, "It's nothing......

At this moment, he caught a glimpse of a Time magazine not far away.

On the cover of Time magazine, there are two people, an old black man from the United States, and a young Chinese -- "They will change the history of the United States!" ”

Remembering that sunny morning a few months ago, when he and the young man had met for the first time, Joseph suddenly felt mixed feelings, as if he had lived away.

"The black civil rights movement is coming to an end." He said.

……

Now in this era, the Internet is very developed, so Ye Yu uploaded "Uncle Tom's Cabin" to the Internet.

In order to expand his influence in the West, when he uploaded the Chinese version on the scarf, he also specially applied for a Twitter account, verified it, and uploaded the English version.

Not only that, but after Ye Yu uploaded "Uncle Tom's Cabin", the publication of the physical book also began to be frantically promoted!

In order to bring the black civil rights movement to an early end, the publication of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" this time is different from the past.

This time, Ye Yu found publishing houses in countries around the world and authorized them to publish it, in other words, he only took the manuscript fee for the book.

And the effect of this is also obvious, because, no matter how awesome Yuye Company is, it is impossible to compare its publicity efforts with publishing houses around the world!

In addition, Ye Yu not only wrote two versions in Chinese and English, but also wrote four major versions in French, Russian, Spanish, and Arabic.

These six languages are the six working languages of the United Nations and the six most dominant languages in the world.

And the publishers who have obtained the publishing authorization for "Uncle Tom's Cabin" have also started to promote it.

The White House is furious! The president scolded directly. Mother!

But they couldn't stop it!

I could only watch "Uncle Tom's Cabin" be published in countries around the world, and then—

caused an uproar!

This book has shook the hearts of countless people!

Many influential writers, scholars, critics, etc. in various countries have expressed their views and publicly condemned the racial discrimination of the United States.

In the same way, although the government of the United States banned this book, it is still spreading wildly in the United States - both in reality and on the Internet!

Countless Chinese people took to the streets, singing "We-Are-The-World", holding "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and shouting "I-have-a-dream"!

The pressure of international public opinion is increasing day by day!

The pressure at home is also increasing day by day!

Finally, on this day, the White House compromised-

The United States will amend the law to give blacks the same freedom and rights as whites in politics, education, employment, housing, etc.!

On this day, the social structure maintained by the United States for hundreds of years was completely shattered!

This day is the 83rd day after Ye Yu's first assassination.

During this period, he was assassinated a total of 12 times. Of these, 9 were stopped by the FBI, special forces, and bodyguards, 2 evaded, and 1 was injured!
