Subtitle of this chapter: How Masterpieces Are Born

November 18, 1920, at noon. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info (This time a week has passed in one sentence.) ）

The square in front of the Presbyterian Hospital building in New York is already bustling, with hundreds of people, just like a carnival.

These people are divided into four groups, the most are elated NYU students, the second most are the Chinese who line up the gongs and drums, and the third is the young and beautiful sisters and their flower messengers, no need to ask if this must be our Master Yuan's fan sister. The last group is the journalists.

They all came to welcome Yuan Yanqian out of the hospital.

The veteran political correspondent of Le Monde looked at the scene in front of him and sighed. A few days ago, he had strongly opposed the publication of Master Yuan's article, but this old man had become half of Master Yuan's fans at this time.

As a political reporter, he understands the weight of Yuan Yanqian's articles, and faintly feels that these articles are not as simple as they seem.

The so-called layman looks at the liveliness, and the insider looks at the doorway.

For the uninitiated, Master Yuan's article is pointing at the nose of the British Empire and scolding them as the big black hand that destroys the peace and tranquility of the whole world, the great demon king who tries to oppress and enslave all mankind, and the reactionary who hinders the liberalization of global capital......

In short, Britain is an evil and reactionary colonialist empire where anti-liberalism is still driving capitalism backwards!

For an expert like a senior political reporter, the above words have a deeper meaning, but he still doesn't understand it for a while.

Well, in fact, so far Yuan Yanqian himself has not fully realized the deep meaning of his article, he originally wanted to scold the Democratic Party, and by the way, he scolded the "mastermind" of the Democratic Party.

It's just that our Master Yuan came from a hundred years after when various theoretical systems were complete, so no matter which theoretical system he chosen, he was more "far-sighted" than the thinkers of the time.

Although he really didn't have this idea, when his ideological system became more and more "mature", everyone, including the old man himself, would be "surprised" to find that he was competing with the international communist movement and other left-wing ideological factions for the right to speak. In other words, he is helping US imperialism construct ideological and theoretical legitimacy for its global hegemony.

Otherwise, how could our Master Yuan become the number one accomplice of US imperialism.

That's for a later date. But his book Is Britain a Liberal Country? This article has already shown signs of this.

In this eloquent essay, he cleverly changed the concept of "imperialism" for "colonialism", so as to gently and skillfully separate the United States from Britain, France, Germany, and other old European powers.

The advantage of this is that Yuan Yanqian has dressed up the American capitalists in a righteous garb called "liberalism" for their behavior of robbing the colonies of European countries.

Originally, they could only use something like "open door", which sounds very frustrating, but now they can use the name of "liberalism".

FREEDOM AND LIBERTY, IT MAKES PEOPLE FEEL THAT JUSTICE IS AMAZING.

Of course, this also made Master Yuan later regarded by leftists as the number one advocate of "postcolonialism".

The senior political reporter of "Le Monde" smacked his lips and said with emotion: "There are so many people today. ”

Standing next to him was Miss Emma Pulitzer, a photojournalist, who said, "Well, a lot, indeed. But Mr. Yuan's novels are really popular. This issue of our literary supplement has set a new sales record, and now we have sold 100,000 copies. ”

The political reporter nodded and said, "Well, "Di Gong's Case" is really good-looking, and even I am fascinated by it." I really didn't expect that there would be such a China more than 1,000 years ago, and I don't know if it's true or not......"

"I prefer 'Chocolate'." Miss Pulitzer adjusted the camera and said, "By the way, I've heard a lot of letters from readers, and our readers are also very curious about Mr. Yuan." ”

Hearing this, the political reporter laughed out loud and said, "Hahaha." Yes, but they are more curious about Mr. Yuan's body than in the novel. ”

Miss Pulitzer was stunned for a moment, but immediately realized: "To be honest, I'm actually curious too. Not only did he overcome sepsis, but his wound was almost healed in just a week. You know, it was a terrible wound, and when I looked at the pictures, I thought he was going to be disfigured......"

"They're out!"

I saw a commotion in the crowd, and they all flocked to the gate of the Presbyterian Hospital. Everyone saw that Yuan Yanqian, who had just recovered from a serious illness, walked out of the hospital accompanied by several foreign friends and Chinese friends.

This "Chinese patient" looked a little pale and thin because he had been in the ward for more than ten days and ate liquid food. However, his spirit is not bad, the injuries on his face are also good, except for the redness and swelling, there is really nothing abnormal, it seems that in a few days he will be able to become a "little white face with oily hair and powder".

18 points of physique, that's really not covered.

However, Yuan Yanqian, who walked out of the hospital, just smiled and nodded to everyone, but did not speak.

Instead, Mr. John McCall stepped forward to take him to speak: "Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of Mr. Yuan, I would like to thank you very much for your concern, and even more so for coming. As you can see, he's recovering well, but it's still a little hard to speak. Therefore, it is not convenient to be interviewed, and I cannot thank everyone in person. ”

He paused and continued: "Therefore, Mr. Yuan decided to wait for his injuries to heal before holding a press conference to answer questions of public concern. He will also hold a number of reading clubs to meet and communicate with readers and friends. ”

"Now please let ...... you"

Everyone present was still very qualified, and when they heard this reasonable statement, they got out of the way.

"Woo woo woo la"

"Knock knock!"

This is the folk music "Backgammon" played by the Chinese band.

Yuan Yanqi, who was walking in the middle of the crowd, looked at the lively scene around her, and the faces that were either curious, respectful or adoring, and felt very proud.

He also saw Mr. Mike Baldwin waving to him in the crowd, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his head.

Our Master Yuan suddenly raised his hands high, his right hand in a scissor shape, and the five fingers of his left hand were separated, this is the ......

Mike is still quite brainy, and he was the first to understand: "250! ”

The NYU students also understood and shouted, "250!! ”

The people around didn't understand what this meant, but they also shouted: "250!! ”

“250……”

This slogan became louder and louder, even overpowering the gong and drum procession, and resounding in the small square in front of the hospital.

A flock of pigeons on the roof were also startled by the shouts of the crowd and flew over Master Yuan's head with a "flutter".

Miss Pulitzer finally got the hang of it this time, and she turned the camera on his hands without being reminded by Master Yuan.

"Smack!"
