The Korean student studying at Waseda University was stunned for a moment, and then repeated his previous question, after all, thinking that Takeshita Kusaoji had not heard clearly. He is full of incomparable national pride, but he is very aware of the current Korean dramas, Korean movies, and K-pop songs...... The formation of the "Korean Wave" has deeply affected not only East Asian countries, but also the entire Asian countries. Behind this is the export of Korean culture.

"Korean kimchi is really good." Takeshita Kusaoke, who listened very clearly, did not answer the question. Repeating the meaning of the previous sentence, he knew that Koreans were out-and-out dwarfs in terms of literary creation, and apart from the self-esteem and obscenity of Koreans at home, there had never been a writer whose works could influence the thinking of East Asia, let alone some intellectuals in Asia and even in the world.

I remember one thing very clearly in my previous life, that is, the Korean female writer Shin Kyung-sook's "Please Take Care of My Mother" won the Man Asian Literature Award, and in her short story "Legend", there are a total of five paragraphs that plagiarized Yukio Mishima's "Worried Country", and was admitted by himself, and was prosecuted on suspicion of fraud. In contrast, Koreans have a better attitude towards plagiarism than they do when they create their work. In China, many people who started their lives by plagiarism not only refused to admit it, but also did not receive the necessary punishment, so that while they were in the mix, they continued to defraud the majority of readers of their money.

Not to mention, Chinese Jiang Rong's "Wolf Totem", Su Tong's "Riverbank", and Bi Feiyu's "Corn" all won this award before Shin Kyung-sook. In fact, Su Tong's widely familiar work by Chinese is "A Group of Wives and Concubines", that is, "The Red Lantern High Shine" made into a movie by Zhang Yimou, and his most representative work. I am afraid that it is none other than "The Yellow Sparrow", which won the Mao Dun Literature Award. As for Bi Feiyu, it was also "Tuina" in which he won the Mao Dun Literature Award and made into a movie. Therefore, in this comparison, Shin Kyung-sook is not a good one.

As soon as Takeshita Kusaoji's words fell, there was a burst of laughter for Korean students in the auditorium. And I don't know who shouted "Classmates, you shouldn't be a student of the Faculty of Arts", which once again ignited the laughter of many people present. At this moment, the atmosphere of the scene was not only really relaxed and lively, but also the audience felt that Takeshita Kusashi was not lacking in humor.

The Korean student who blushed cheeked, courageously added a sentence at the end: "Haven't Mr. Takeshita Grass Mustard heard of my famous Korean female writer Lee Yunshi, whose pen name is Cute Tao?" ”

"This classmate, you've really come to the wrong place. Our Japanese Keigo Higashino is not only more famous than your cute Tao, but also has more influence on the general public. And it's better written. Hearing the other party's layman's words, he couldn't help but give it to a boy from the liberal arts academy who went back directly suddenly took the initiative to stand up, looked at him with his eyes and couldn't help but laugh.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the auditorium laughed again, and many people began to whisper, I really don't know what this boy is doing here? For people like him, not even ordinary literature lovers, it is simply occupying the pit and not, so that those who are qualified to come cannot come in. People who don't have the qualifications and shouldn't have come have come.

At the same time, Secretary Chie Sakai, who received a particularly important phone call, did not dare to slack off. Taking advantage of this gap, he walked up to the stage in three steps and two steps from the left corner of the stage, so as to go directly behind Sakai Chie. She whispered as she handed her phone out, "President, there's your phone." ”

Knowing that it was not an important call, and his secretary would not bother him at this time, Chie Sakai, took the phone with his right hand and placed it next to his right ear. Straight to the point: "I'm Chie Sakai." The executive vice president of the Mustard Press, who heard the voice of the president, told the exciting news she had just gotten herself, and she knew it.

After listening to the two times of his repetition, Chie Sakai hung up the phone in his hand on one side and handed it back into the hands of the secretary, and on the other side he smiled brightly like the spring of March. She was so happy that she took the initiative to stand up. walked straight to the host on the stage.

Sakai Chie, who didn't say a word, just made a simple gesture with her right hand, then took the microphone from the other party's hand, and then walked to Takeshita Kusao's side, first glanced at him, and then looked at the audience with both eyes, and smiled: "Everyone, please be quiet." I have good news for you that I have just received. ”

Showing patience, she did not rush to say the good news, and did not wait a while, and everyone slowly quieted down from the gossip. He put the microphone on his right hand in front of his mouth, and said with a charming and friendly smile on his face: "The good news I want to tell you is that Mr. Takeshita Kusake's "Human Disqualification" won the Booker International Literary Award. ”

The people in the auditorium were shaken, and one after another they stood up in unison. Their eyes were uniformly looking at the Takeshita grass mustard on the stage, on one side was the rhythmic applause of both hands "popping", and on the other hand, there was a tacit cheer: "Takeshita grass mustard, Takeshita grass mustard, Takeshita grass mustard......"

Only then did he learn that he had won one of the international awards, Takeshita Kusaoke, the expression on his face was unusually calm, but there was fear in his heart, after all, there were fewer and fewer literary awards at home and abroad that he had won with his literary copying stunts. The so-called Booker International Literary Prize is the most prestigious and prestigious literary prize in the United Kingdom. It was established in 1969 and is judged every two years. The awards ceremony was broadcast live at London's Guildhall and became a major event in the cultural world. For the award-winning writers, the honor is extremely high.

The Booker International Literary Prize focuses on authority, orientation and impartiality, and aims to reward outstanding works and raise public awareness of serious fiction. By the beginning of the 21st century, it had gained worldwide fame and was considered the highest award in the field of contemporary English-language fiction, as well as one of the most influential literary awards in the world, and had an important impact on contemporary English-language fiction.

It is precisely for this reason that in 2004, the Booker Prize Jury announced that starting in 2005, the "Booker International Prize" will be awarded every two years with a prize of 60,000 pounds, and all writers, regardless of country, whose work is published in English or English translation, are eligible for this prize.
