The end of the story (with afterword)

Previous Chapter

The first book published by Li Kuo after returning to China made many people a little strange, because of this book, Li Kuo returned to his science fiction career.

As far as science fiction is concerned, in fact, many people have an impression of Li Kuo's science fiction, and they have always had a strong nostalgia for a magical science fiction book like "You Soul Corpses", after all, after that science fiction, everyone has never loved to see such a treacherous and full of CULT science fiction.

The subsequent "Country Teacher" is also full of nostalgia for everyone.

For Li Kuo's science fiction, anyway, after such a few teachings, he is full of expectations, after all, Li Kuo's previous performance, whether it is hard science fiction or soft science fiction, has enough attainments.

What will his new sci-fi be?

But no matter what his sci-fi is, at least for everyone, it is a must to buy, and it is also something that many people have been looking forward to for a long time.

After all, this is Li Kuo's!

Li Kuo was overseas for a few years before, and these actually had the sales of "The Fall of the Giant" and "The Lord of the Rings" in China - all the copyrights of these two books are still in Li Kuo's hands, so when he came back to China to translate them, all the copyrights belonged to Li Kuo and the Chinese publishing house.

The sales of both books in China exceeded one million at a rapid rate, and now it is time for Li Kuoxin to sell them.

After all, the previous ones were all overseas, and the original version was in English and published works, but now, this is China, Chinese science fiction, so everyone's sense of expectation for Li Kuo has also increased.

Two months after Li Kuo returned to China, this highly anticipated science fiction book was officially released, and three volumes were directly released, three volumes as a set.

The name of this sci-fi book is "The Three-Body Problem".

In fact, "The Three-Body Problem" is "Once Upon a Time on Earth" in another time and space, of course, the name of "The Three-Body Problem" is more widely circulated, and Li Kuo himself has considered the name "Once Upon a Time on Earth", after all, the name Once Upon a Time on Earth sounds more poetic, and it seems to have a certain compulsion...... But after thinking about it carefully, I still used "The Three-Body Problem".

To be honest, Li Kuo's previous life was also a three-body fan, of course, he was not a three-body - the so-called three-body, basically talking about some people who can always get involved with the three-body problem no matter what science fiction or science fiction movies they see, and then they always have to use Guan Gong to discuss some of the weapons and three-body water drop boats set separately in these movies, as well as the power of the two-way foil of advanced civilization......

Li Kuo, as a three-body fan, still defended the name "Three-Body Problem".

"The Three-Body Problem? This name sounds really sci-fi, but Li Kuo's sci-fi must not be considered too much, it is definitely a boutique. ”

Most people just have such expectations for "The Three-Body Problem", and when they look down, they also see a wonderful book.

There are also many people, as long as they are aiming for the name Li Kuo, no matter whether they like science fiction or not, and whether they have a concept of science fiction or not, they have begun to have a huge interest in "The Three-Body Problem", and then immediately go to the bookstore to buy it.

And now there are more and more people who go to bookstores to buy "The Three-Body Problem", more than they used to go to bookstores to buy Li Kuo's "White Deer Plain" and the like.

Because Li Kuo is now a Nobel Prize winner in literature, a super writer in the government's Western literary and philosophical circles, this is enough to make people unable to turn a blind eye to the aura on him, so more and more people are concentrated in the bookstore.

So, the first day passed, and the upper, middle and lower volumes of "The Three-Body Problem" were priced at a total of 99 yuan, but people went forward one after another and bought them happily, which also made the sales of this book, on the first day, a total of 650,000 sets of terrifying units were sold! And this is still 650,000 copies, not 650,000 copies, if you multiply it by three, that's close to two million copies!

This terrifying number is not comparable to the "Three-Body Problem" in the previous life, and all this mainly has the meaning of a fan economy, mainly because Li Kuo has returned after many years, and everyone wants to buy it, not to mention that Li Kuo's aura abroad has been added before, and everyone's willingness to buy it is even stronger.

The book was urgently reprinted the next day, and within seven days of the first sale, a total of 2.07 million copies were sold, breaking countless sales records and becoming the best-selling book so far!

Of course, this unimaginably good reputation came with it.

When everyone first read the first volume, the beginning of the book still made them feel a little boring, feeling why they would redescribe the history of the long past, but then everyone quickly became fascinated, especially after seeing the description of the three-body world, most science fiction fans have been immersed in it......

The first part is actually relatively less attractive to the public, but by the time of the second part, the influence has grown wildly.

Especially the theory of the dark forest in this second part has stunned countless people.

"Oh my God! No wonder there is news that Li Kuo has conquered the Western philosophical community...... This dark forest theory is too powerful, no matter what angle you deduce, I can't figure it out anyway! ”

"The Dark Forest Theory is so powerful that it really makes me feel creepy, is it really the way the universe works?"

"With the explosion of technology, everyone is like a hunter walking in the dark forest with the great powers...... It's cruel, but it's cool! ”

…… Similar news poured in, and many people were deeply shocked by the Dark Forest theory.

By the time of the third "Death Eternal", many people just felt the magnificent momentum, and also felt a kind of insignificance and loneliness in the past and the present, and the feeling of being a drop in the ocean continued to ripple in everyone's hearts, and it also affected more and more people.

After watching the third part, many people's hearts are filled with an unparalleled sense of shock at the world described here.

There are more incredible things put forward in it, especially the two-way foil that can compress the three-dimensional world into two dimensions, and the idea that the universe people are constantly waging wars and then starting dimensional strikes, from ten dimensions to three dimensions and even two dimensions, which makes people feel a kind of unbridled imagination.

In this way, how can the reputation not be high, and how can there not be many reviews?

After all, the reading cost of this book is not high, although many new science fiction concepts are proposed, but the story is still very easy to read and relatively friendly to readers......

Three months after the book was sold, the number of people who rated it reached 100,000, and the rating was 9.1! This can be said to be the highest rating of Chinese science fiction, however, most people feel that this score is really worth it, and "The Three-Body Problem" even deserves a higher rating number in return.

Along with it, there are also a variety of super praises.

On the Chinese side, "Science Fiction Weekly" is also the newspaper that Li Kuo released "You Soul Corpses", and directly described what "The Three-Body Problem" brought to everyone in one sentence -

"Li Kuo alone, single-handedly, has brought Chinese science fiction to a world-class level."

Such an evaluation, in another time and space, actually belongs to Liu Cixin, but after all, Li Kuo moved over "The Three-Body Problem" in this time and space, which makes this evaluation well deserved.

But this description is indeed accurate, after all, now, "The Three-Body Problem" has the foreshadowing of Li Kuo's previous copies, and it has also started to sell in addition to the English version and even the language versions of more countries at a very fast speed.

The whole world, even over the sociology of the universe of the Dark Forest, there have been violent quarrels and arguments, of course, most of the arguments are carried out from both sides, and the positive is of course that they feel that this theory is very accurate, that it shows the cruelty of this universe, and that they feel that the real state of the universe should be like this. The opposite is different, they feel that the universe cannot be so cruel......

And then the two-way foil, the dimensional strike and compression such offensive weapons, are even more jaw-dropping, many foreigners can only use fantastic, it's really cool, similar words to describe their feelings, after all, such weapons, they have never heard of, although they have seen countless science fiction movies, but have never heard of this.

"It turns out that the most powerful weapon is knowledge! After all, our magic, our various curses, even if they include the war of the gods or something, the so-called magnificent fantasy of war, are overshadowed in front of this two-way foil! This is an American writer's evaluation, and it has been recognized by many people.

The book "The Three-Body Problem" spread around the world, and a year after the book was officially released, it got a total of 8.9 million horrific sales in China, and in the whole world, it got 15 million super hot sales, and it also became one of the best-selling in the world.

"The Three-Body Problem" also made everyone discover that Li Kuo is really omnipotent now, at least in terms of everything.

After "The Three-Body Problem", unexpectedly, Li Kuo wrote another book of entertainment nature, and he went back to writing martial arts!

This news made many people feel very excited, and at the same time, they also remembered the fact that Li Kuo was not yet thirty years old after all......

The name of this martial arts book is called "Dragon Babu".

The book was written before the first part of the Condor trilogy, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and the sales of this book soon exceeded five million copies.

Then, basically everyone who read the book was attracted to the book, completely and unreservedly......

Attracted by Xiao Feng's heroic nature and by this magnificent plot......

When it came to the place where Azhu was killed, many people were stunned, and many people were crying, and when Xiao Feng committed suicide at the end, it attracted an unprecedented discussion!

The entire country's circle is almost boiling because of "Dragon Babu......

This book is also known as "the peak of martial arts that cannot be surpassed"! After this martial arts, Li Kuo seems to have washed his hands of gold and will not write martial arts for the time being, but there are more, more exciting and more outstanding in his pen, and more are in the pipeline.

After the end of "Dragon Babu", everyone witnessed another major event: Li Kuo got married!

The news of Li Kuo's marriage is relatively low-key, and he originally planned to do it secretly, but he didn't expect to be discovered by the outside media, so there was no way, and there was no possibility if he wanted to be low-key, so he could only announce the news with the outside world in a high-profile manner.

When Li Kuo and Song Nian got married, they also had the effect of thousands of empty alleys, and almost all the news of the day was occupied by such a headline, Li Kuo was also helpless, but now there is no way, since everyone knows, it is naturally impossible not to allow everyone to send blessings.

Soon after Li Kuo and Song Nian got married, the two also had children, the first of whom was a girl.

After Li Kuo's first girl was born, Li Kuo began to write again, and he first released a copy of the West, and a copy of Wuthering Heights in the Western world.

So, after "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and "Les Miserables", although the Nobel Prize in Literature was very helpless, he still had to award the third Nobel Prize in Literature to Li Kuo, so it is not to mention that it is a Chinese writer, even if the records won by writers all over the world in the Nobel Prize in Literature have been broken too much by Li Kuo.

After "Wuthering Heights", Li Kuo returned to popular literature, and he released two articles, which are two detective genres.

Li Kuo wants to write detectives, which makes many people feel full of expectations, but they are more conservative expectations, after all, they are also worried that Li Kuo will also be cursed by such a thing as a detective.

However, after that, his two detectives, "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection" and "No One Survived", refreshed the expectations of the whole world and shocked countless people to the extreme - it turns out that Li Kuo can really write detectives, and he can write such a classic!

As a result, Li Kuo's popularity in the West is also getting higher and higher, and more and more people know him, which makes the points in his system continue to expand, and then form an influence again, in short, this is a real virtuous circle......

After the detective category, Li Kuo's space opera epic "Base" once again made the whole world's science fiction community boil, and at this time Li Kuo has become a real god and has become the most powerful writer from ancient times to the present.

After all, no one else can be so prolific and write so many classics......

However, Li Kuo is refreshing everyone's understanding with down-to-earth results and all kinds of incredible data.

After that, many of Li Kuo's were still concentrated in the Western world.

While Li Kuo released various things, Li Kuo did not forget the promise he once made at Yenching University.

Li Kuo wrote several movies after that, and even directed it directly, and at the beginning, it also made the whole world feel that Li Kuo was too unreliable, really a little too whimsical, and there should be a bleak ending as the end......

As a result, movies such as "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Farewell My Concubine" shocked the whole world again, and even discovered that Li Kuo was omnipotent to a very terrifying point......

In this way, more than twenty years have passed in a hurry.

Even if Li Kuo has a system of his own and has almost inexhaustible memories from another time and space, but after more than 20 years, Li Kuo still feels that time is not enough, and for more than 20 years, Li Kuo has become a real legend in the world.

"A true son of God, a superstar whose life is full of legends and incredible multiple identities...... someone said of Li Kuo.

Indeed, in the eyes of many people, Li Kuo does have too many incomprehensible achievements, and the achievements he has obtained, any one of them, are almost impossible for others to obtain in their lives......

Philosophy, literature, even cinema and music!

Li Kuo left too many heart-wrenching things, and many people even think that he is a living glorious fossil......

In the past 20 years, Li Kuo has had 6 Nobel Prizes in literature! This one shattered too many records.

Then Li Kuo has 3 Hugo Awards and 2 Nebula Awards in his hands......

These are all things that are difficult for others to get in their lifetime.

At the same time, he even won two Oscars for Best Director......

He also won the Shuoke Prize, which has been called the "Nobel Prize of philosophy".

Of course, in China, he has won numerous awards, and more than 20 years later, China has also had the point of exporting culture to the world, and Chinese can wrestle with English around the world, so Li Kuo's literary awards are well deserved.

After so many awards, Li Kuo began to tell the world that he was about to release a sealed work!

"Seal the pen?" The whole world was almost shocked.

They never thought that Li Kuo would also have the day when he would seal his pen.

Over the years, Li Kuo has created too many words under his hands, and there are too many achievements in front of everyone's eyes, making him the first person in the world's cultural influence, and because of his existence, China's cultural export ability has increased exponentially.

But now he's going to close the pen!

But thinking about Li Kuo now that he is also in his fifties, many things may be almost the same, although many people still regret it in their hearts, but I have to say that Li Kuo's contribution to this world is enough.

So everyone's attention shifted to Li Kuo's sealed work.

Li Kuo's pen closure work, everyone has already known before, this is a super traditional Chinese traditional ......

This traditional book is very traditional, that is, in terms of terminology, it may be the style of ancient times......

This also attracted a lot of interest.

Anyway, everyone never doubts that Li Kuo can't write like this, on the contrary, everyone knows that Li Kuo will definitely be able to bring surprises to the whole world, but they don't know how big this surprise is.

In the midst of this great anticipation, Li Kuo's new book finally came out.

This is really a book written with the flavor of Chinese.

The name of this book is "Dream of Red Mansions"!

The name has a very strange flavor to it, and it sounds like it describes antiquity anyway.

If other writers want to write in such a language style, then everyone probably thinks that this person is pretending, but since Li Kuo uses such a language style, everyone thinks that Li Kuo must be necessary to do so......

When you really open "Dream of Red Mansions" and look down, you can see that it is so solid that everyone thinks that Li Kuo is the ancient people's ancient literary skills, especially many of the pleasing poems, which make everyone be attracted to it.

However, this is a very unfriendly book to readers, many people have not been able to survive that beginning, and only two or three out of ten people may have persevered, and many people have slowly left the book after watching it, and then may just leave it alone......

The influence of this book in the previous life naturally does not need to be talked about.

This is a work of human affection with world influence, which is recognized by the world as the pinnacle of Chinese classics, an encyclopedia of Chinese feudal society, and a collection of traditional culture......

This book is self-exhorting to "talk about love with the main purpose and record its facts", only according to its own affairs and reasonableness, according to the traces, get rid of the old clichés, fresh and chic, and have achieved extraordinary artistic achievements. The special penmanship of "the real thing is hidden, and the fake village dialect" has opened the minds of later readers, and there are many speculations over time.

Even, around the reading and research of "Dream of Red Mansions", a prominent science has been formed-Red Studies.

This book can be said to be the first famous book in Chinese history...... It is also a worldwide work.

Even in another time and space, when China's cultural export capacity is weak, the popularity of this book abroad is very high, of course, this is also high popularity, and foreign people know about "Dream of Red Mansions" as if they Chinese know Shakespeare's works, they know, but they may not read it......

And this book, Li Kuo feels that as his own pen work, it will definitely have a great impact......

Although there are many people who have not been able to survive the beginning of "Dream of Red Mansions", there are also many people who have survived, and then, there are all kinds of different emotions.

Some people are purely attracted by the story, and after reading it, they feel that the flowers are blooming all over, only the broken walls are left, and there is an endless sadness.

Some people are curious, seeing the life of ancient times, and even feel that Li Kuo was reincarnated in that era and has not forgotten his memory, otherwise how could he write about ancient times so vividly and wonderfully?

Some people are attracted by the fate of the characters in it.

Others think it's an encyclopedia......

Different ideas are brewing in the hearts of different people, but this has contributed to the fire and made "Dream of Red Mansions" have a vigorous impact.

This book has been highly respected in the literary world, and many people even feel that they have been shocked to speechless.

In the end, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles directly gave this book such an evaluation -

"In a book, Han Mo is full of poetry and songs, art rulers, calligraphy and opera, as well as couplet plaques, wine and lantern riddles, and storytelling jokes, all of which are all good; The skills are piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, medicine and astrology, and craftsman structure, planting flowers and fruits, raising poultry and birds, needlework cooking, etc., all in detail; The characters are square and evil, chaste and stubborn, fierce and heroic, strong and cowardly, and the female generals of the previous generation, foreign poets, immortals, Buddhas and ghosts, nuns and monks, advocates and excellent talents, slaves and servants, thieves and demons, drunken scoundrels, and all sexuals; The deeds are prosperous feasts, extravagant prostitution, corruption and honesty, palace rituals, celebrations of prosperity and decline, prison sentences, and satirical scripture and altars, trade and camps, everything is complete; Even died at the end of his life, died of sudden illness, took the pill by mistake, and was killed by himself, threw himself into the river and jumped into the well, was forced to hang the beam, swallowed gold and took poison, and hit the stairs to lose sperm. It can be described as all-encompassing and all-encompassing, how can other departments see the back of the neck! The first in ancient and modern times, well deserved! ”

…… The influence and conquest brought by this book is no longer comparable to any of the previous books written by Li Kuo, and many people in the land of China have been infected by other people, and they have re-read this book, and sure enough, they have quickly found something to attract them.

In addition, this is Li Kuo's penmanship......

As a result, many people call "Dream of Red Mansions" a strange book!

Everyone was amazed and shocked......

Many people feel that no matter what the award, it can't accommodate such a strange book.

In foreign countries, other countries in East Asia call "Dream of Red Mansions" a "cosmic masterpiece", and there are some people in Europe and the United States who really like and appreciate this book, even if they are separated by language, they still touch the essence of good, and think that it is a cultural monument!

Coupled with the significance of this book as Li Kuofeng's pen, it has become a cultural swan song.

So, a hundred years later, and even longer, in the reviews, "Dream of Red Mansions" is world-class and the best in China.

And Li Kuo, after countless glory accumulation, reached a peak in "Dream of Red Mansions", and it was also the peak before the pen was sealed, so that he was constantly promoted in later generations, and some people even think that Li Kuo, who has written so many Chinese and foreign masterpieces, is the first person in the world literary scene in a thousand years!

Such an evaluation is being accepted by more and more people, at least Chinese.

The emergence of such a person in modern society is indeed incredible.

…… When all kinds of gunpowder smoke dissipated, Li Kuo was just spending his old age with his family.

He is also a son and daughter, and now he has a pair of children, the eldest daughter is in politics, with his own help, many things are smooth, and now he is in a high position.

The second son, who took the road of academics, is now also a well-known scholar in China.

On the day when "Dream of Red Mansions" was officially published and Li Kuo completely closed his pen, Li Kuo was at home, and the past few decades were like old-fashioned slides skimming in front of his eyes.

Li Kuo's eyes were a little moist slowly.

But I felt that at this time, a pair of hands was holding my shoulders, it was Song Nian.

Although Song Nian is now a half-old, after all, she is very well maintained, she looks like she is only in her thirties, she is still full of charm, and she also has the temperament of reading poetry and books, which makes people feel that she is a talented woman with Li Kuolang.

Next to Song Nian is Li Kuo's son and daughter.

Today, even Li Kuo's younger sister Li Yutong, who has begun to enter old age, is also here......

For Li Kuo, at this time, all the honors have the taste of past dust, and he now feels that the most real texture is the family and affection at his fingertips......

[End of the book]

Postscript:

The fourth book of this issue is finished today.

I have mixed feelings in my heart.

It's another time to prove your talent, maybe it's just like that, maybe you can't really write a book that everyone likes very much.

At this time, I was dazed and scared, I didn't know where to go, I didn't know what else to do.

The life of a full-time writer for many years has also made Lao Zhong disconnected from society, and many things have even begun to degenerate, but now, his grades are getting worse and worse, and now he is alone, achieving nothing, looking up, messing everywhere, and not even knowing how to live tomorrow......

But after all, it's still my dream, and I'm going to stick with it.

Here, I really want to thank all the lovely readers and friends who have supported "Reborn Writer Superstar", thank you Lao Tie, thank you for not giving up, Lao Zhong has been a little afraid to read book reviews since the data fell sharply for a period of time, I dare not reply, and I don't thank you for your subscription and reward, I am sorry here, I'm sorry, but in fact, before finishing the book, Lao Zhong read it again.

In short, thank you for your support, thank you for your tolerance and patience with me, thank you.

Li Kuo's story has come to an end, I wish you all the best and good health.

Thanks again!
