Going abroad is naturally something to be excited about for most young people today.

In particular, many college students who go abroad to continue their studies are "paradise" and a wonderful world in their eyes.

But they don't know how serious the exploitation of capitalist cannibalism is abroad, especially in the Western world, and the discrimination against people of color always exists.

He Yun is a reborn person, so he is naturally very aware of the "urine" of some people abroad.

But if I don't go to Italy this time, it seems that I have missed out on the opportunity.

After thinking about it, He Yun finally decided to go.

Although there are different degrees of discrimination against China in the Western world, the more this is the case, the more He Yun feels that he must go.

If nothing else, just fight for that.

Since you have decided to go, you naturally have to think about it.

According to Liang Dakang's letter, they went to Italy in May.

The exact time has not yet been set, but the journey to Italy is sure to be tough.

The main reason for this is that going abroad, especially to Western Europe, is not a simple matter.

First of all, the problem of passport and other formalities, this is easy to solve, as long as the Sichuan Provincial Association for Science and Technology can assist, it should not be a big problem.

The key is what means of transport to take and the choice of route.

If you want to get to Italy, go by plane, that must be the fastest.

But let's not talk about whether the funds are allowed or not, even if it is allowed, you must first go to Xiangjiang, and then transfer to Italy.

As for taking the train and the ship, it will be even longer, and it will not be possible to arrive at all without ten days and half a month.

After arriving in Italy, he had to travel to the Republic of San Marino, a small country in the Italian territory.

Even if you arrive at your destination and participate in next year's World Science Fiction Convention, it will not be easy to compete with other member countries for the right to host the annual conference.

After all, the science fiction of the Chinese continent is too inconspicuous in the world.

You must know that today's science fiction industry is the "world" of Western Europe and the United States, Australia and the Japanese can only be regarded as second-rate, and among the Chinese science fiction, Taiwan Island and Xiangjiang, only a few science fiction writers can take action.

As for the mainland, even less.

…………

Early in the morning of November 17, He Yun went to Professor Ma to ask for three days off, plus there was still one day without classes, that is, four days.

It was enough for him to go to Jincheng and be invited to participate in the Emeishan Jinding Pen Conference.

That's right, this time, the magazine "Science and Art" set the venue of the pen meeting in Dujiangyan.

Originally, they planned to set it at the golden summit of Mount Emei, but later changed the location due to the weather.

Of course, the choice of the location of the pen meeting is not so important to He Yun.

At this moment, in a hotel in Dujiangyan.

When He Yun arrived at the door of the hotel, he saw Liang Dakang standing in the hall with someone from a distance.

When he walked over and took a closer look, he found that the man was dressed in a suit and seemed to be different.

"Comrade He Yun, you are here, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Lu Yingzhong from Taiwan Island."

"Mr. Lu Yingzhong, this is He Yun I just mentioned to you."

When Liang Dakang briefly introduced each other to the two.

Lu Yingzhong immediately greeted He Yun and said, "Hello! ”

As a well-known "flying saucer" expert on Taiwan Island and a UFO researcher, his trip was also a coincidence.

You must know that it is only 1988 now, and although there have been exchanges between Taiwan Island and the mainland, they are far less frequent than those in later generations, and confrontation is not just talking.

As a "scholar", he was originally invited to give a lecture in Xiangjiang, but later, because of a matchmaking by an old man in Xiangjiang, he went through a series of procedures before he came to Dujiangyan and was invited to participate in the pen meeting held by the magazine "Science, Literature and Art".

As for He Yun, he also just learned that he is a rising star in the Chinese science fiction industry - science fiction writer Man Jianghong.

And although the "Philip K. Dick" Award is far less famous than the Hugo Award, this is a science fiction award after all, plus He Yun's works, he once read them, so his first impression of He Yun is very good.

On the other hand, He Yun, at this time, he was a little confused.

Because before this, he had never heard of Lu Yingzhong, and he didn't understand what this person was doing.

It wasn't until Liang Dakang gave Lu Yingzhong's identity in detail again that he suddenly realized.

"Uh...... Dare to study flying saucers! He Yun muttered secretly.

…………

Of course, He Yun and Lu Yingzhong were not the only ones who were invited to participate in this pen meeting.

In fact, more than 20 science fiction writers and scholars participated in the event.

What He Yun didn't expect was that this time, "Big Guy Liu" Liu Cixin actually came.

According to Liang Dakang, in addition to his unbridled imagination, Liu Cixin's works also vaguely reveal an aura, and his pen power is only a little bit different from He Yun's.

Even in his opinion, Liu Cixin is likely to become the next "Man Jianghong".

Well, in the face of Liang Dakang's unrelenting praise, He Yun was indeed a little embarrassed.

After all, this is the science fiction "boss" of later generations, the winner of the Hugo Award.

Although his own science fiction is also an original work, after all, there are traces of many science fiction works in later generations.

But this Liu boss is different, he really has this creative strength.

In the next process of mutual communication, He Yungang was ready to get up and chat with each other.

But I didn't expect him to take the initiative to find him.

After introducing himself and "complimenting", Liu Cixin immediately talked about his views on several science fiction works by He Yun.

"Comrade He Yun, I personally really like several of your science fiction films, especially "Sea Prison", which can be said to be amazing, can you help me sign this book?"

"Signature?" He Yun was stunned for a moment, but he looked at the book he suddenly took out.

As soon as he looked at the cover of the book, he smiled.

It turned out to be the Chinese simplified version of his sci-fi "Sea Prison".

"Okay! No problem. He Yun happily signed his name in the lower right corner of the title page of the book.

"Thank you! Thank you! Seeing that He Yun was so refreshing, Liu Cixin smiled and hurriedly said.

Then, he solemnly put the book away, and said to He Yun: "Comrade He Yun, I still have a question I want to ask you, I don't know if it's inconvenient for you......"

"It's okay, just ask." He Yun immediately smiled and replied.

Seriously, He Yun didn't expect that this sci-fi "giant" of later generations would have a day when he would ask for advice in person.

"I heard Editor-in-Chief Liang say that you plan to go to Italy with the magazine to participate in the World Science Fiction Annual Conference?"

"Hmm...... There's such a thing, what's wrong? You don't want to go too, do you? He Yun nodded and looked at Liu Cixin in confusion.

"No, no, no...... I just wanted to ask you, this ...... Will the Hugo Award also be announced at this conference? Liu Cixin shook his head again and again, and quickly explained to He Yun.

"That's right! Every year at the World Science Fiction Annual Conference, the winners of the Hugo Award of the previous year will be announced. He Yun still didn't understand what Liu Cixin was asking for.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing, I just heard that if you want to win an award abroad, you have to have an English version of your work, if only I had the opportunity......"

"Ahem...... Comrade Liu Cixin, in fact, you may have this opportunity. ”

At this moment, Lu Yingzhong suddenly looked over.
