From its inception to 1935, Time magazine had seven cover characters from China. They are "China's Strongest" Wu Peifu, "Conqueror" Chang Kaishen, "General Christ" Feng Yuxiang, "King of Shanxi" Yan Xishan, "Henry" Pu Yi, "Baleen Whale" Wang Zhaoming, and there is also an issue of Lao Jiang and Song Meiling appearing together.

Time magazine has a magical power called "poisoned milk", and whenever it is on the cover of its magazine, it often ushers in a dramatic reversal.

For example, Wu Peifu, the "strongest man in China", just appeared in "Time Magazine" for a week, and Zhang Zuolin called. A month later, Wu Peifu was defeated and gradually declined.

Another example is the indomitable Wang Zhaoming, who was compared by Time Magazine to a baleen whale - easy to bend and able to fight back, and has since been nicknamed "Baleen Whale Wang". Half a year after the report, the "baleen whale Wang" was assassinated and almost died, and at some point bent so that it could never bounce back.

and Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan were vigorously praised by Time Magazine, and a year after the report, both of them went into the wild.

Pu Yi, who was touted by Time Magazine as loving the people like a son and being majestic, actually did not even have the freedom to leave the puppet Manchurian palace, and his every move was monitored by the Japanese, and the people under his "rule" were suffering from heavy suffering.

The funniest thing is that Chang Kaishen and Song Meiling appeared in the issue together, and they smiled happily on the cover of their magazine. But just two months after the report came out, Chang Kaishen was anxious and announced his resignation.

In the face of this super poisonous milk ability, Mr. Zhou said that he was a little afraid.

Zhang Leyi still takes the overall situation into account, and when she heard that a reporter from Time Magazine came to interview, she immediately showed the demeanor of a lady and said, "Let's go to the lounge next door." ”

Except for Yu Peichen, the female secretary, everyone else left the ward, including Blamby and Clark Gable.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou." David Hopkins knocked on the door and handed over his business card.

Zhou Hexuan nodded and smiled, "Please take a seat." ”

David Hopkins sat on a bedside stool and observed, "How are you recovering from your injuries?" ”

"There is still a hole in the stomach, so you can only grow meat slowly." Zhou Hexuan said.

David Hopkins said: "I feel very sorry and angry about your assassination. At the same time, congratulations on winning the Nobel Prize in Literature, which is a well-deserved honor. ”

"Thank you." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

David Hopkins said: "American readers are very interested in you, but all the previous reports are not comprehensive, can you tell us about your past experience?" It starts with childhood. ”

"Of course." Zhou Hexuan is going to make up a story again, and that set of rhetoric has long been ripe.

It has to be said that Time magazine reported very quickly. At the beginning of the establishment of the puppet state of Manchukuo, only a week after Pu Yi ascended the throne and became emperor, "Time Magazine" had a comprehensive report on him, and the full text of the manuscript was sent directly from Shenyang to the United States by telegram.

This time it was about the same, on the eighth day that David Hopkins met Zhou Hexuan, the latest issue of Time magazine was released.

The cover is drawn, in a style referencing vintage movie posters, with an English subtitle at the bottom: A izard from the far east.

The full text is as follows:

"On the last weekend of October, 18 Londoners were killed and hundreds injured in an attack that shocked the world. The protagonist of the incident is none other than Mr. Zhou Hexuan, who is known as the 'Far Eastern Wizard'. He brushed shoulders with death, leaving a terrible bullet mark on his cheek, making this world-famous writer even more fierce......"

"A legendary character must have a legendary life."

"Zhou Hexuan, who is famous for his historical research and literary works, actually does not have any school diploma, he is a 'white ding'. In 1898, when China was still under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, 'Wizard Zhou' was born in a small village near the Chinese capital. When he was two years old, his hometown was destroyed by war, and he went with his parents to Southeast Asia to join his uncle. ”

According to Zhou, his uncle was a wealthy manor who also owned mines in Indonesia. During an indigenous uprising, Zhou's parents and uncle were killed, and their property was looted by Dutch colonists. Perhaps because of this childhood experience, Zhou was a pacifist at heart, and he wanted the killing and war to disappear forever. ”

Zhou did not shy away from saying that he had been a beggar and a thief since he was a child, and there was no shame in trying to survive. It wasn't until a burglary at the age of 10 that he was caught stealing the missionary's bread and became a missionary's servant. The missionaries taught him to read and write, abused him, and brought him to the United States. After the death of that missionary, Zhou became a beggar and a thief again, and gradually learned the art of fraud. ”

"He's always good at learning, learning about fraud, and also learning knowledge. He posed as a student from China and Japan, wandered schools across the United States, and even wrote a graduation thesis for Harvard students for $200. He then left the United States and traveled throughout Europe and Asia, where he learned English, French, German, Russian, Japanese, Italian and other Chinese. ”

Before 1926, Zhou was a vagabond, a traveling scholar, a fraudster, and a thief. This year he returned to China, his hometown, and began the legendary journey of the 'Far Eastern Wizard'. He is first and foremost a writer who was kidnapped by a warlord because the serialization was too slow. He was also a poet, so he married his current wife. He is an educator and the charity primary school he founded has more than 100,000 students. He was also a businessman with factories in China, the United States and the United Kingdom. He is also a philanthropist who has bought hundreds of thousands of tons of food to donate to the victims of the disaster in China. He is also an academic star and has a high standing in the field of history. ”

"Scientist Albert Einstein commented: Zhou is a very imaginative genius - the 'cat experiment' is still an unsolved case in the field of quantum mechanics. But Zhou said he was a scientific idiot with no interest in physics or chemistry. It was this scientific idiot who, together with the British biochemist Aldrich, discovered sulfonamide and was nominated for this year's Nobel Prize in Medicine. ”

"The title of 'wizard of the Far East' stems from Zhou Chenggong's prediction of the Great Depression, which is well known to American readers. But Zhou refuses to admit that he is an economist, so he should be more like a wizard with magical spells and can do anything. ”

Zhou's biggest contender for the Nobel Prize in Literature this time is Eugene O'Neill, who is also a fan of Zhou's books. O'Neill said that Zhou has a powerful insight, and he can see the essence of things through complex phenomena, which is especially reflected in the book "The Goddess". Perhaps this insight comes from Zhou's childhood and adolescence experience, where he had to observe everything around him in order to survive. Observing the history and observing the future is just an extension of observing society. ”

"Mr. Wizard whispered to me that within five years, a world war would break out......"

In 1935, Time magazine had a circulation of more than 500,000 copies, from Time to Fortune to Life, and it seemed to have developed into a magazine empire.

It has a terrifying influence in the United States, and when this issue of the report on Zhou Hexuan was published, it sparked another wave of discussion.

Zhou Hexuan's topicality is too strong, and with the blessing of the "London Assassination", the Nobel Prize in Literature and the release of "Titanic", it has simply become a hot topic of national attention in the United States. In particular, Zhou Hexuan's "life" legend was written in detail by "Time Magazine", and Zhou Hexuan became an inspirational hero.

Since Zhou Hexuan "grew up" in the United States, he has even been seen as an American, and his success is a realistic version of the "American Dream".

Famous Hollywood actress Greta Garbo was recently nominated for an Oscar for the movie "La Traviata". In an interview with reporters, she said: "I'm not gay, those rumors are all made up...... What are my criteria for choosing a mate? Well, of course it's Mr. Zhou Hexuan. He was erudite, wise, tenacious, hardworking, handsome, and fulfilled all my fantasies about men...... Again, I'm not gay! If you don't believe it, I can't help it. ”

Obviously, Zhou Hexuan is used as a shield, that is, a lesbian!

American gossip tabloids immediately began to concoct scandals, and headlines such as "Greta Garbo Publicly Shows His Love for Zhou Hexuan" are flying all over the sky, and Mr. Zhou has a tendency to develop into an entertainment star.

A big writer has become an entertainment star, which shows that he is really popular, so popular that he is in a mess, known in the streets, and even the entertainment industry has to come to rub hot spots.
