Chapter subtitled: Meet in Paris, Fifteen Years Later!

"That's right, Neo. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info your book is printed. ”

Hearing John say this, our Master Yuan felt strange in his heart, is there a computer printing now, why is it pinched so quickly?

Mr. McCall reported: "Actually, on the day we bet, Helen had already gone to the printing house to start printing, and now she listened to you, and printed a single book. ”

"Well, here's a proofbook for you."

Yuan Yanqian took it and flipped it over, and nodded with satisfaction. It wasn't that he thought the printing quality was good, but he confirmed that Miss Brown had been obedient enough to change the names of the people inside, and he had added a note at the beginning:

"This book is not fiction, but is based on the experience of the eponymous character in the book.

It is also my honor to inform readers that the main characters of the book have immigrated to New York, USA. They opened a dessert shop at 520 56th Street, Brooklyn. ”

Our Master Yuan is so traditional that he adheres to the teachings of Master Confucius, that is, "repay grievances with virtue, how to repay virtue?" ”。

So he was very "kind" to help the dessert shop opened by the anti-American fighters, and put a big product placement advertisement in his "Chocolate".

Now the heroine of this book is called Vivian Rocher, the male protagonist is called Lyndon Wan, and the ten-year-old oil bottle that the heroine carries is of course called Ainica Rochelle. Because there were no Asians in this book, Comrade Zhuang Kunlun was lucky to escape.

Miss Helen Brown, as a faithful student and follower of Master Yuan, gave the proofreading books that had been printed first to her classmates in the College of Arts and Sciences. After reading this book "Chocolate", what else is there to say, of course, they went straight to the "Black and Red" dessert shop.

This scared the anti-American fighters into a cold sweat.

"We can say that Mr. Yuan Yanqi's portrayal of female characters has always been ahead of the times. In his early work "Chocolate Love", he portrayed a strong, confident but feminine heroine. This is the first time that such a female character has appeared in a literary work around the world......"

In the howling north wind, single mother Vivian and daughter Ainica walk into a calm and closed French town. The chocolates they brought with them made sweet waves in a place that had been almost unchanged for hundreds of years. The beautiful Vivian seems to have magical powers, and can understand the preferences and tastes of everyone in the town, and satisfy their secret desires. In her shop, there is no love, and warmth is found; If you don't have a home, you can live here and drink a warm cup of hot chocolate; Those who were bullied also found courage in the chocolate made by Vivian herself. The closed and grey town has regained a touch of color and vibrancy......"

However, the town's stubborn old-fashioned forces, led by the priest Renaud, see her as an outlier, lest Vivian destroy their traditional values and lives. The arrival of the river wanderers further disturbed the peace of the town, and its leader, a retired American officer, Lyndon Wan, disturbed Vivian's heart......"

"Can we take this novel with the British female writer Charlotte? Brontë's famous Jane Eyre to make a comparison. Both books are stories about their respective heroines' constant pursuit of freedom and dignity in the face of various tribulations, assertion of self, and finally happiness. ”

"But we should also see that there is a great difference between the two books in the portrayal of the heroine:"

"Jane Eyre was naturally a self-respecting and rebellious woman. However, she is still in charge of her love and marriage, and only through these two can she achieve true happiness. Therefore, the feminine symbol she represents is really nothing more than a male vassal. Of course, this is because the author was limited by the time in which she lived, and in any case, the presence of such a heroine in the middle of the nineteenth century was already a breakthrough literary creation. ”

"And Vivian-Aynica and Jane Eyre are fundamentally different. On the surface, the female owner of the chocolate shop is more in line with the expectations of traditional society for women than a governess, she has a gentle personality, a strong maternal nature and the softness of a woman. But she didn't have to rely on men to support herself on her own. Love is certainly important to her, but it is not the whole of life. ”

Both books also describe the heroine's rescue of the hero. However, Jane Eyre was saved because she received a large inheritance to care for Mr. Rochester, who was injured and disabled. And Vivian Rochelle simply uses her love and charm to save a former war-torn officer from his gloomy life. ”

"It's really amazing that a man, an Oriental man, wrote such a novel, such a heroine, around 1920. When I first read this novel and knew that the author was an Oriental, I had a longing for the men there......"

Translator's Note: When the author was 16 years old, she met a Chinese man, Hu Taole. The Vietnamese expatriate helped her family through the difficult times and became her first and unforgettable lover. Based on this experience, she wrote the famous semi-autobiographical novel "The Lover".

After "Chocolate Love", the epoch-making fantasy epic written by Mr. Yuan Yanqian appeared more female characters with distinct personal characteristics. These women are very different from the traditional image, and they are very impressive......"

"I have to say that the title of 'Friend of Women' is really well-deserved to Mr. Yuan Yanqi."

"When I first met Mr. Yuan, my first question was to ask him why he was able to write such a female character. He did not answer the question directly, but first asked the author's name, and then looked at the author with a very strange gaze, and then said in French, Miss Tauradio, there is a Chinese proverb I don't know if you have heard of it......"

"The fool is looking at ...... Piracy! (For this sentence + notes, see Important Statement and Author's Testimonial at the end of this chapter)

——Excerpt from Marguerite Duras's "Appreciation of Mr. Yuan Yanqi's Female Role"

On this day in 1920, our Master Yuan certainly did not know that Miss Margaret Toladio, who is only six years old now, would become a fan of her, nor did he know that she would become a beautiful and romantic Gallic girl.

But the two of them will eventually meet in the romantic capital of the mid-thirties. As for what happens after they meet......

Of course, it's the kind of wave that happens when female fans meet male idols...... Well, slow things.

Important Notice:

Now that it is about to be put on the shelves, it is natural to face the problem of piracy. Of course, Murong can't control pirated websites and pirated readers.

And don't worry, I won't do the anti-theft chapter either, it's too inconvenient for patients who use the terminal to read books.

But Lao Tzu is still unhappy!!

The text is also forgotten, it is very "watery" anyway. But it is something like, "Your kingdom is dead, but my country is not alive." Such "golden sentences", as well as those brain holes, are all the author's hard work and racking his brains...... I was thinking about it when I ate and slept.

Ala Hai Nanning is stingy, just unhappy, just don't want to let those friends who watch piracy see my brainchild, but he doesn't even give me a click!

Therefore, in this case, Murong would rather not count the number of words charged, but put it in the author's testimonial, please read it for free.

Anyway, it doesn't affect the plot, so it shouldn't hinder those friends who watch pirated versions......

What the? Some people say that the selling point of this broken book is not the plot, but this kind of thing.

That's right, it's said that this is a "selling point".

We apologize for the inconvenience caused to our friends who watch pirated copies......

Hug your lord, apologize to your mother.

Lao Tzu's book Lao Tzu can write how he likes, if you don't spend money, then don't JJWW's, Ala Hai Nanning is Kaman's.
