Chapter 580: Scourge of Crooked Nuts
In the blink of an eye, it's summer vacation.
This is the first summer vacation of college days, and at the same time, it is also the hardest summer vacation for first-year students at Peking University.
Because, military training will be held this summer.
Thinking that he wanted to be trained hard under the scorching sun, Xiao Fei's hairs stood on end. It's not that he can't bear this suffering, but he feels that he has already suffered this stubble in his previous life, so why should he taste it again.
Besides, if you participate in military training, the whole summer vacation will be ruined.
He's going to do something else during the summer vacation.
Xiao Fei asked the college for a leave of absence, the reason was very simple, he said that he wanted to take advantage of the summer vacation to write "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty". Now there are four books out of the book.
And the sales are very hot, every new book can cause a huge sensation in China, and every new book can sell millions of copies in a short period of time.
A fever of the Ming Dynasty spread inexorably because of this book.
Because of this book, Xiao Fei's identity has been added from the most promising famous young writer to the most influential young historian in China.
The popularity of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" also drove the enthusiasm of teachers and students in the Department of History of Peking University to write historical essays.
A lot of imitations have emerged.
"Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" has now been published in four volumes, and the time has reached the middle and late Ming Dynasty.
After that, the Ming Dynasty will be on the wane, and the breath will be dying.
Therefore, Xiao Fei's excuse is very great, and the leadership of the history department is very supportive of Xiao Fei, believing that it is obviously more important to write "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" than military training.
Not to mention anything else, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" has now been regarded by many people as a classic of Ming history.
Some historians even believe that the book can be read as a popular version of the history of the Ming Dynasty and is a model for students to learn the history of the Ming Dynasty.
Xiao Fei can quickly finish writing "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty". It is also of great benefit to the Department of History.
Lu Zelin, the head of the department, personally approved the leave, and asked Xiao Fei if he needed any help from the department.
Xiao Fei declined the kindness of the department.
Well! He felt embarrassed to lie to Lu Zelin. In fact, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" has already been written, and all seven manuscripts are stored in Hanmo.
After entering the summer vacation. Xiao Fei took Xu Fengjuan to play for a few days.
Go to climb Mount Hua, go to climb Mount Huangshan, go to see the sunrise of Mount Tai, and then go to Songshan to listen to the morning bell and dusk drum.
After more than ten days, Xu Fengjuan was sent home to reunite with her family.
Xiao Fei himself returned home.
As soon as he arrived home, many people came to visit the family every day, and it was bustling like a busy city every day. Xiao Fei stayed at home for a week and went to the county to visit the teachers and Ye Fangwei, the secretary of the county party committee.
Xiao Fei thought to himself, it is not possible to go on like this. It's better to go back to the house you rented in the capital to be quiet and sort out your thoughts.
He said goodbye to his parents, rushed to the Central Plains, went to see Hanmo Company, and held a meeting for middle-level cadres.
Then, from the Central Plains, I flew back to the capital.
After arriving in the capital, when Xiao Fei was really sitting alone in the house, he realized why he was a little impetuous.
For Xiao Fei now. Both creation and life have reached a very high level.
Of course, this mainly refers to the country.
If he wants to really go global. There is still a long way to go to enjoy a global reputation like that of the South American Colombian writer Márquez.
In other words, what he's been thinking about now is how to break through this bottleneck.
There is no doubt that in today's world, Westerners are in a strong leadership position in the field of culture.
A Chinese writer. It is much more difficult to become famous all over the world than it is for writers in Western countries.
What's next?
Xiao Fei thought about it again and again, he gritted his teeth, and finally made up his mind: he wanted to write in English. To plagiarize those future classics of English fiction.
After writing it, it was taken to the United States for publication, stirring up a storm in this most culturally hegemonic country, condescending, and counterattacking the world.
Well!
The idea has been thoroughly understood by this point.
Xiao Fei has even thought about the work he wants to plagiarize, that is, the famous "Twilight" series in his previous life.
"Twilight" is an American housewife Stephanie . The name "Twilight" is actually the name of a series of her works.
Stephanie. Mel, who was originally a housewife who had never written any literature, said that while writing the first book in the series, "Twilight," she had a strange dream of a young man and a woman, one a vampire and a human, sitting on the grass.
It was this dream that inspired Mel to pick up the pen and start writing.
Although she had never written a single word of literature before, she made an extraordinary move, and if she didn't write, she caused a sensation in the whole United States.
After the publication of the first book of "Twilight" in 2005, "Twilight", it was well received by many Americans, and the book was a great seller, once ranking in the top three best-selling books in the United States.
This is a remarkable achievement, which means that "Twilight" sold more than one million copies that year.
After the fire in the United States, "Twilight" also quickly swept many countries around the world, and in just over a year, it sold wildly all over the world, selling nearly 10 million copies.
It's amazing.
It's 1998, and it's been a long time since Mel had that dream.
Xiao Fei thought to himself, then he should take care of it and "write" it first.
The "Twilight" that Xiao Fei watched in his previous life was the Chinese version.
And now he has to write this work in English, which is undoubtedly very difficult for Xiao Fei.
Fortunately, Xiao Fei had seen the original movie adapted from "Twilight" in his previous life, in which the dialogue plot was clearly embedded in his mind.
Combined with Chinese novels, Xiao Fei has some confidence in how to translate the original novel of "Twilight" in his head.
His English level is still okay, and his vocabulary is not good.
The only thing he lacked was the habit of using English.
It's easy to do.
Xiao Fei plunged into the school's library, found dozens of English novels in the library, and began to read quickly.
Stuff the whole book into your head, and then let those English sentences ferment in your head and automatically combine and arrange them.
It took a week to read English novels.
A week later, Xiao Fei decided to start writing.
The novel "Twilight" is about 500,000 words in total, and Xiao Fei decided to devote the rest of the summer vacation to writing this foreign novel.
In a month's time, it can be taken out in one go. (To be continued.) )
