Chapter 1175: Enthusiastic Black Classmates
In October, not long after the National Day, this year's Nobel Prize in Literature was finally announced, and the Frenchman Patrick Modiano won the race. This great writer, who is known in France as one of the three great contemporary French writers, is not very famous in China.
Even if he won the award, he did not make any waves in China.
The Nobel Prize-winning books "Dark Shop" and "August Sunday" sold for seven years at Yilin Publishing House, including 2015 after winning the award, and the sales of these two books in China were not as high as the sales of Monroe's short story collection in 2014!
The quality is very good, Yang Guo has read the original work, but as Douban netizens commented, the Chinese translation is terrible, Yang Guo thinks that the new translation road publishing house can find an intermediate translator to translate these hundreds of thousands of words better than it!
It's a pity that Modiano, of course, Yang Guo has no choice, after all, this time the New Yilu Publishing House did not pay attention to the introduction of foreign language books at all, and it is normal for Yilin to seize the opportunity.
Of course, the main reason for the lack of fame of this year's Nobel laureates is that they no longer have Chinese elements as in the previous two years: in 2012, Mo Yan won the award, and the works of the 2013 winners were also translated by the Chinese Yang Guo.
Some netizens also ridiculed, saying that Yang Guo had long expected that this year's Nobel Prize winner would not be strong, so he did not get involved?
This is not a die-hard fan of Yang Guo, and Yang Guo's die-hard fans know that Yang Guo is very busy, and Yang Guo has devoted most of his energy to public welfare and Chinese teaching theory this year. In particular, the promotion of Yang Guo's word-splitting teaching theory in the world, which is a project with a national name, Yang Guo leads all Chinese scholars as the only author, which makes many Yang Guo's fans proudly puff up their chests.
"Our Oba is handsome, has long legs, and has a warm and loyal love for his daughter and girlfriend, and can also be literate and martial, which of your Oba can compare?" Some netizens' words resonated with many people, "I used to chase stars, and my mother didn't allow it, but Yang Guo Oba is different, my mother also encouraged me to chase stars, and even found a relationship to let me listen to Yang Guo Oba's lectures, his serious speech is simply handsome, okay?" โ
I have to say that Yang Guo has indeed become a role model for more and more parents to educate their children, although Yang Guo's achievements are mainly in the macro aspect, but it does not prevent fans from worshipping Yang Guo!
Of course, whether it is positive pink or negative black, it actually has no effect on Yang Guo. Yang Guo has never held some "cram school" on Weibo because he is called a role model by many mother groups - such as answering some homework questions from fans...... I won't talk about some parenting scriptures every day just because I often post photos of my daughter.
In short, Yang Guo is such a low-key person, showing his daughter lightly. On the contrary, Yang Guo and Qiqi's fans are just like this, so Yang Guo's fans have been skyrocketing so occasionally, and most of the time they are slowly growing.
In late October, Yang Guo traveled to Beijing, which has the largest student population, where he will give as many as 10 lectures, starting with Jingcheng University.
Of course, Yang Guo's speech is now able to control the rhythm very well, and the performance is full of ignition.
Especially in the back, Yang Guo waved his hand and asked how many people were willing to share their free time, which may only be one hour or two hours a week, and when they had a beautiful encounter with poor and backward compatriots they didn't know at all, the audience raised their hands!
This moved Yang Guo, but it was not new. What really surprised Yang Guo was that after the speech, a black international student came from behind and wanted to communicate with him.
The other party's Chinese is very awkward, but it is still in the range of being able to communicate.
Yang Guo was surprised to find that the other party was not from the United States, but a black man from the African continent.
International exchange students are not uncommon, and there are many of them at Dongshan University, but most of the students are from rich countries, and Jingcheng University reflects the difference from Dongshan University, like this black classmate, but from Tanzania, a country that is poor and backward far beyond the imagination of the Chinese people!
This black classmate from Tanzania is very interested in the distance education that Yang Guo said!
Yang Guo didn't know much about Tanzania, but some information was enough for Yang Guo to discuss with this black classmate.
Tanzania is one of the least developed countries in the world declared by the United Nations. The economy is dominated by agriculture, and it is basically self-sufficient in grain in normal years. However, it is also the country that attaches the most importance to education, like China, it implements compulsory education from primary to secondary school, and most public schools are free of charge, except for private schools, and the literacy rate is as high as 90 percent, which is one of the lowest illiteracy rates in Africa.
"Since the level of education in your country is okay, why are you still interested in this distance education?" Yang Guo asked curiously.
This black classmate is awkward in Chinese, but it is good, Yang Guo tried to communicate with him in English, but did not understand what the other party was saying, and his native language, Swahili, is quite slippery, but the problem is that Yang Guo can't!
It seems that I will have to learn more languages from African countries in the future, and now Yang Guo's language level can run around the world, but only many native languages in Africa have not been learned.
Far away, the black classmate said while gesturing and chatting with Yang Guo. Yang Guo realized that he was not thinking about the current situation of education in Tanzania, but worried about the current situation of education in his home country, the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Huh, home country? It turned out that the parents of the black classmate fled to Tanzania during a civil strife, and the black classmate was still young at that time, but he was still concerned about the motherland.
Yang Guo learned that in Congo, there are far too many out-of-school children โ 6 percent of the population โ whose education has been destroyed by civil strife and conflict after conflict.
Of course, the political situation has been much more stable since the beginning of the 21st century, but the development of education is still very slow.
"You're right, if the youth is strong, China will be strong!" Yang Guo wanted to correct him that this was not his original, but Hei said very reverently, "We in Tanzania are also because of the improvement of education level, and now the development has kept up, but my motherland is still backward, and there are even many people living in ignorant indigenous groups, I hope to help the motherland bring changes, use your remote teaching!" โ
Although he couldn't bear to refuse the other party's expectant eyes, Yang Guo had to pour cold water on the black classmate: "Mukalu! The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is skinny! Hey, think about it, even if there is remote teaching, how many children in Africa can use a computer? โ
