Hemingway is about the same age as Li Yaoyang, one year older than him, but he looks like Li Yaoyang's uncle, a face that has gone through the wind and frost, and has nothing to do with young people's half a dime.

He is very interesting, as soon as we meet, I talk about love with Li Yaoyang, don't get me wrong, he doesn't like men, he talks about the difference between Chinese love and white love.

Then she talked about herself, describing herself as a fan brother who had a crush on a female nurse who was seven years older than him at the time of her injury, and the two were engaged but later abandoned.

Through chatting, Li Yaoyang could feel that this great writer is both casual and extremely self-disciplined, he likes to rack his brains to polish his writing skills, and he puts in a lot of effort to write a sentence smoothly.

In order to make a difference in his writing, he gave up his honeymoon in Italy and went to Paris, where he was the center of literature.

He had a good relationship with Pound, and he had a good relationship with Fitzgerald, it was a time when literary stars were gathered, and all the evidence of the era that could verify the fall of the golden elf was sealed in photographs and letters.

"The Unbeatable Tough Guy: A Biography of Hemingway" wrote:

Hemingway's penchant for close-ups, mostly about crime, violence, boxing, suicide, drug abuse, prostitution, heroic acts and deaths, was actually a sign of his future style.

One of the most representative reports that was later discovered and reprinted was "War, Art, and Dance in One Furnace." Eight Chinese Net

And this is also evidenced by his correspondence.

This confirms that he does have these themes in his book.

Hemingway was an extraordinary writer who sought to distinguish his work and style from the crowd, to form his own unique characteristics, which is also strongly related to his experience.

When he was in middle school, Hemingway wrote reports and short stories for the newspapers and periodicals run by the school, and his writing talent was very well exercised and developed.

Later, he went to work for the Star, where he trained many excellent journalists.

The newspaper has a literary department that collects and collects excellent articles and news materials from newspapers and magazines for journalists and readers.

In the paper's internal workbook, reporters are instructed to "avoid clichés and how to write vividly", and instruct them that "the key to writing a good news report is to keep the sentences short, start with a short paragraph, use appropriate words, speak in a strong tone, write fluently, and write from the front." ”

In this regard, Hemingway said with deep feelings:

"It's the best exercise I've ever had in learning to write, and it's also an important principle of writing, and I'll never remember it."

In addition, some of the paper's outstanding reporters and editors also provided Hemingway's knowledge and experience in news writing.

Later, joining the army allowed him to deepen his writing experience a little, and in that era, the soldiers who came down from the battlefield often became either poets or writers.

During World War I, John McRae of Canada volunteered for World War I in 1914 and served as a medic in an artillery unit.

The following year, he took a front-row position in the horrors of the Second Battle of Ypres, in which the Germans launched an attack, including the first use of toxic chlorine in the war.

While caring for the wounded and mourning the dead, McRae writes in his book The Flanders Fields that the poem is from the perspective of fallen soldiers whose graves are covered with wild poppies.

The poem became one of the most popular and widely quoted literary works of the First World War.

Among other things, it inspired the use of the poppy as a "flower of remembrance" for war dead.

The avant-garde poet Guillaume Apollinet often portrayed war as an intoxicating feast for the senses.

Apollonaire was a bohemian artist with a mysterious past – he was imprisoned for allegedly stealing the Mona Lisa – and he enlisted in the French army in 1914, despite being over the conscription age.

He lived the life of a soldier with great interest, and later turned his experiences into a series of famous experimental poems, and in a poem called "The Miracle of War", he had a catalytic effect on the work of the literati.

However, Hemingway said to Philip Gerald that war is always the best theme—it gathers as many materials as quickly as possible in the shortest possible time, and piles up all the things we need in front of us, which we usually have to wait a lifetime to obtain.

Hemingway was not on the battlefield for long, just over a month later, he was seriously wounded, and after a series of surgeries, a total of 227 pieces of bullets and shrapnel were removed from his legs.

These traces left in the body have also created an alternative world of words, Hemingway in a military uniform is heroic, young and handsome, who would have thought that in the future he would use his pen to create a glorious road in life.

His identity as a victim of war, along with his in-depth study of human conflict, led to his "The Sun Also Rises," "Farewell, Arms," and a host of short stories.

It was during this injury that Hemingway, who was recovering from this injury, fell in love at first sight with Agnes, the nurse who cared for him, and then fell madly in love with her.

She was the daughter of an earl, she was seven years older than Hemingway, who was only 19 years old at the time, and the two lovers were engaged, and Agnes made a promise that she would return to the United States after the war and marry Hemingway.

However, in the spring of the following year, Hemingway received a letter from Agnes announcing the annulment of the engagement.

Because she met a wealthy duke's heir, which was a huge competitor for Hemingway, who was still in the stage of a hairy young man, and this love without gunpowder disappeared from long-distance relationships and immaturity.

This first love also took a heavy blow to him, and in his letters to close friends, we can see the gradual change of the writer's outlook on life and worldview, and get a glimpse of a low point in his life.

He was resentful, angry, terrified, and very sick.

For him, the betrayal of a woman is intolerable, and he can only heal the wounds in his heart through hunting, alcoholism, and incessant creation.

During this time, his creations were still rough and jerky, but they laid the foundation for future achievements.

From the chat, I learned that Hemingway liked to read books very much, and often discussed the books he had read with his family, and even felt that reading more books was not a waste.

There are also letters and anecdotes of his later association with many celebrities.

In the letter, he said, "I have been teaching Pound some tips to win boxing matches, and he also said that Pound can bet all the fame and honor he has built up with great difficulty on one thing that he knows nothing about, and this is the embodiment of sportsmanship for him.

He said to Fitzgerald:

No matter what he does, no matter how ridiculous his behavior is, I must understand that it is all the result of illness, and I must spare no effort to help him and do my duty as a dear friend.

And when he objected to his parents' dislike of his books being so true that there would be another perception when reading them, he said:

The reason why I didn't send you any more of my writings is because—either you, or your mother, returned Our Time to me, and it seems as if you don't want to see anything I write anymore.

Because if everything seems to be beautiful, the story will not be credible, and it cannot be written that way.

Fortunately, he stuck to his own line and developed a new style of writing.

When Qiong Yao wrote "Outside the Window", she was also very troubled because her mother did not understand the hunger strike, but she still insisted on her own writing style.

The character of a great writer is his lovely side, and only by insisting on himself can he innovate and interpret the world from a new perspective.

Later someone famously said: Nothing can kill Hemingway, except himself.

Hemingway has suffered countless injuries in his life, and he has escaped as an unlucky egg, and it seems that bad luck can always haunt him: including two plane crashes and more than ten concussions in his life;

When the driver was strafed by a machine gun and was hit by more than 200 pieces of shrapnel in his body, he insisted on carrying his comrades across the battlefield to survive;

went to Africa and the indigenous people to hunt the male lion, was almost eaten alive, and before the injury was healed, he went to challenge the cheetah.

The story of this man will be passed down forever, and he used his life to create an image of a "tough guy".

He had vowed that he would live well and would never commit suicide, but in the middle of the night 59 years ago, he pulled out a shotgun and put it in his mouth, and he did not hesitate to pull the trigger, and shot himself in the head like a tomato that had been shot through by a bullet.

When the news of this man's death came out, thousands of people were discussing, and many even accused Hemingway of being a coward who actually ended his life himself.

But no one has experienced what kind of life the 62-year-old Hemingway has lived in the past few years, looking at his broken body and his aging face day by day.

He had already understood that he had lost and that he could no longer go fishing, hunting, bullfighting, and anything else he loved.

So before he died, he shouted, "Everyone owes God a death, and if you die this year, you won't have to wait to die next year."

Looking at him now, thinking that he would personally blow off his head in a few decades, Li Yaoyang was very embarrassed, and he didn't know whether he should take action to reverse this ending.

In fact, he prefers to let the torrent of history go on according to the natural trend, and not to force changes, because that will bring a lot of unknowns.

He hates the unknown, and he doesn't like the feeling of being scared.

Therefore, he has been trying, trying not to touch the inertia of history.

But after talking to Hemingway for a while, he felt the need to make the man's death less miserable.

Although some people think that such a death is very Hemingway, but Li Yaoyang does not see it that way, if he can die well, who wants to die so abruptly and unnaturally?

Of course, this matter will have to be talked about later, now that he is alive and well, he is full of curiosity about the world, he is full of exploration, it is impossible to die, it is not bad not to kill people.

To be honest, Li Yaoyang was most interested in why he wanted to be a spy, and there was always some humor in the use of this word on him, but he couldn't get an answer, because the matter was only exposed 19 years after Hemingway's death.

It is alleged that Hemingway established an espionage organization in Cuba during the war, which had no charter and just reported some so-called secrets, which Hemingway then compiled into articles.

And the most striking thing is that the composition of this team, including priests, fishermen, waiters, bustards, drunkards, etc., is not serious at all, more like an amateur organization.

However, Hemingway was still secretly monitored by many agencies, especially in his later years, when he told the people around him that he was secretly watched.

At that time, Hemingway was made suspicious all day because of this incident, and finally reached the point of insanity, but no one believed him at that time, and even if he did, he couldn't do anything.

Hemingway said: Life always makes us bruised, but in the end, those wounded places will definitely become our strongest places.

Li Yaoyang tried to ask him:

"If you were asked to be a spy one day, would you agree?"

Hemingway said without thinking:

"Of course, why not? How interesting? You can get in touch with a lot of unknown insiders, and you can also influence the life and death of others, oh my God, I love this feeling of death, maybe you have a channel? ”

Li Yaoyang hurriedly shook his head, he didn't want to have anything to do with spies.

"Alright man, let's get down to business, what do you think of this article? Can you publish a book? ”

"Of course, it's very deep, and the insights in it are very original, I want to meet this person, is that okay?"

"No problem, I'll arrange it, but before that, I need a little favor from you..."

Hemingway is indeed an idle egg-sore type, as long as he is given some fun things, he can have a lot of fun, and even put down his own work.

Hype? He liked the word, and enjoyed the satisfaction of making an unknown person an overnight success.

Even happier than making himself famous.

———————————

Back in Atlantic City, Lai brought Hemingway back and made him an editor at the Atlantic City Daily News, where he was in charge of a page.

At first, he was a little reluctant and didn't seem to want to be confined to one place, but as he went out to Atlantic City's casinos and striptease clubs, that unhappiness vanished.

Hemingway found a place that was a paradise for him, with room to use his literary talents, bars and clubs that he couldn't leave, and a lot of interesting outsiders to chat with him.

Anyway, Chicago is definitely not as colorful as life in Atlantic City, and the most important thing is that he has recently found a new pleasure, which is to help people hype, and the first target is William, how to make him an all-ugly celebrity is the most important job at hand.

By the way, it's worth mentioning that not long after arriving in Atlantic City, he fell in love with a girl, and it all started with a boxing match at the Pacific Hotel.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
