"A man is not born to be defeated, you can destroy him as much as you can, but you can't defeat him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

In November, this sentence swept through the entire land of North America like a cold wind.

At school, students can be seen shouting this phrase everywhere; On the streets, unemployed workers also use this to encourage themselves. It's the fishermen, even if they're not Gulf Stream fishermen, who laugh and say this to each other every morning when they get up to fish.

It's hard to imagine that a single sentence swept across North America like a hurricane. Not only the students like it, not only the spring and white snow like it, but also the people of Xiariba.

Perhaps, this is the charm of "The Old Man and the Sea".

Yes, this sentence comes from "The Old Man and the Sea", to be exact, from the mouth of an ordinary old man in the book. However, it is this old man who makes this book surpass many classics.

This old man, that is, Santiago, is the manifestation of a certain human spirit. It is hard for people to imagine that a withered body is full of such a great spirit.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that as soon as this novel came out, it immediately swept the land of North America. Not only the United States, but also several other countries.

Especially in Mexico, life is difficult, and most people read this novel with tears in their eyes. What's even more interesting is that the release of this novel actually saved a group of people who wanted to commit suicide.

As soon as this incident was reported, it immediately caused a sensation in North America.

Of course, the best-selling of "The Old Man and the Sea" is not just because of this gimmick. In fact, the book's bestseller was not a surprise at all.

Leaving aside its quality, Qian Hao's reputation and the fact that he wrote this book in English alone are enough for this book to be popular. What's more, with "One Hundred Years of Solitude" in front, people's expectations for this book are needless to say.

The book has only been released for a few days, and it has already broken the bestseller list, surpassing other bestsellers in one fell swoop.

This is not the point, the point is that other books are popular reading, but this one is a classic. As a classic book, it sold more than popular books, and suddenly stunned a large number of people.

However, the whole of North America did not expect that this was just the beginning. Yes, in the next few weeks, the book began to sell to Europe, Australia......

Many places, without exception, all sold well.

This is a best-seller, and it actually surpasses "One Hundred Years of Solitude". Regarding this, Qian Hao was also a little stunned. The quality of the two books, because they are both masterpieces, is not easy to compare.

However, why is the sales gap so big?

This question, he didn't understand when he thought about it, but suddenly understood it afterwards. It is true that both books are masterpieces, but "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is about South America, which is naturally inferior to "The Old Man and the Sea". After all, "The Old Man and the Sea" is about a kind of spirit, not to mention closer to Western culture.

Before Qian Hao figured this out, "The Old Man and the Sea" had already swept the world.

In China, it is no exception, when people learned that Qian Hao's book was selling like crazy in foreign countries, they immediately began to buy it like crazy. They are proud, they want to know what book actually has such charm.

The book's unexpected bestseller, of course, was relative to "One Hundred Years of Solitude".

At that time, before the release of the book, a group of people were not optimistic. They said that Qian Haocai released "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and was busy with philosophy, and the novel was definitely not polished.

As soon as this point of view came out, many people agreed. Even Qian Hao's supporters, there are many who are convinced and persuaded Qian Hao.

However, after the release of "The Old Man and the Sea", they all shut up.

However, where did these philistines think that "The Old Man and the Sea" is more terrifying than just sales. After sales gradually declined, its fame exploded.

Katie, a well-known journalist and writer of US imperialism, said excitedly:

"The Old Man and the Sea, this is one of the greatest works of the twenty-first century. It writes novels in a journalistic style, concise and clear, and will certainly purify the Western literary scene in the near future. ”

The journalistic style, concise and simple, this is the characteristic of Hemingway's works.

As if in response to Katie, after he published his opinion, Qian Hao released several Hemingway's masterpieces in a row.

For whom does the death knell toll, the snow of Kilimanjaro......

This time, other writers and critics couldn't sit still and ran out to express their opinions.

"It's hard to imagine that a Chinese person will lead the Western literary scene. That's right, I'm talking about the West. ”

"The group of writers of the confused generation, after Qian Hao, will undoubtedly be carried forward."

……

The explosion of the book's evaluation triggered a reversal in its sales, and it actually recovered the momentum of the decline. This, once again, stunned the people.

And that's the end of it?

Well, it's over.

The people thought so, and the elites thought so, and felt that it was time for the book to rest. After all, it's been two or three months, and it's time to stop.

However, it did not stop.

Just as the momentum is falling back again, the book, along with "One Hundred Years of Solitude", won many awards.

American imperialism, South American, and European ......

The two books can be said to have won the major awards this year. People are speechless, such a feat, how many people in ancient and modern times have done it?

And after such a feat, Qian Hao's reputation has been completely solidified, and no one can shake it.

Yes, he became a world-class writer.

People no longer doubted, and people began to believe that he was not a momentary inspiration, but a genius brain.

The promulgation of these awards, especially the Nobel Prize, sent Qian Hao's fame to every modern country. Naturally, so did his books, stacked in bookstores in various countries, the most conspicuous places, all of which were his books

Not only in English, but also in Chinese.

Whether people understand it or not, like it or not, they all pack it up and buy it home. This is the influence of Nobel.

The influence is comparable to that of China's highest literary award.

The Nobel Prize-induced sales frenzy did not cool down until May of the following year. At this time, the total sales of Qian Hao's works have become the third in the world.

The first is the Chinese dictionary, and the second is the Bible.

At this time, both Chinese and Western writers breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they would always be able to release their works now. That's right, these months, none of them dared to publish a novel.

There was really no way, Qian Hao pressed on it, and they were afraid that they would pounce. Especially best-selling authors, the more popular they are, the more they dare not publish them.

It wasn't until the end of May that they saw that the Qian storm had subsided, and finally they had published their works one after another. The impact of the Qian storm is still good for literature, at least it has increased a lot of readers.

As a result, almost all of the novels released in early June sold well.

But at this moment, before the authors had time to rejoice, they suddenly heard a heinous news.

This news is related to that hateful Qian Hao. (To be continued.) )
