After I was reborn, I became a great writer
Chapter 418 I Became a Great Writer
Time flies, the years are fleeting, and several years have passed in a flash. During these times, many stories have disappeared from memory, and many stories have endured for a long time.
Time is the fairest, it can kill everything, and it can also prove everything. It never speaks, but it answers all the questions. If you are in full bloom, butterflies will come naturally.
In fact, the best way to evaluate the quality of a book is to give it to time.
If after a few years, decades, or even hundreds of years, people can still talk about the stories in the book and remember the plots of the characters in the book, then this book has already become a classic, and masterpieces are often created by time.
For example, "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Ball of Fat", which won the highest international literary award, and "Earth History", which is still talked about and attracted countless experts to study in depth.
And their authors have become literary giants that are difficult to surpass.
After reading the first edition of "Earth History", Zhu Yanlin, the former president of the Chinese Writers Association, once publicly posted on his personal social platform, saying that he was ashamed of being awarded the title of "literary hero" and that he would give up the position of the president of the Writers Association to Chen Tianhong.
In this regard, Chen Tianhong first expressed his respect to the seniors, and at the same time tactfully rejected the proposal of "abdicating the throne to the virtuous". He said that he would do his best to prepare the second part of "Earth History".
This preparation lasted eight years, exceeding the original plan and expectations
During these eight years, his first batch of fans has gradually aged. Lang Shiqi is Hongwen's first batch of fans. He fell into the trap while watching "The Legend of Wukong".
At that time, because of the phrase "I want to be able to hide my eyes again this day.", he rushed to the leader's office excitedly, fired the leader who put on his shoes, and turned the so-called Mr. Ma into a pony. (See Chapter 140 II for details)
Think about it, more than ten years have passed since today, and Lang Shiqi's age is approaching 50 years old. After all, even Hongwen's children have gone to junior high school. Isn't it normal for him to grow old?
In more than ten years, there are not many old fans who still remember "The Legend of Wukong".
At the beginning, Lang Shiqi joined several groups of "The Legend of Wukong". Every day, he chatted with like-minded book friends about Monkey King, and even posted a post on the literature forum when he got excited.
However, as the popularity gradually passed, book lovers also had their own things to do, gradually no one chatted in the group, and over time it became an advertising promotion group.
Although Lang Shiqi regrets it, he can understand it, because "The Legend of Wukong" is considered an online novel, and the online novel has a disadvantage, that is, it cannot stand the scrutiny of time, and the update iteration is too fast.
No matter how classic web articles are, if you look back after more than ten years, most of the rest are nostalgia and embarrassment.
But even so, those stories that once made their blood passionate are still in memory, what is missing is only a reason, or a call.
Eight years ago, Chen Tianhong's phrase "remember that monkey?" Lively again.
Lang Shiqi still remembers that after watching the interview, he danced excitedly like a child.
Fortunately, he started his own business as his own boss, and he was alone in the office, otherwise the glorious image he had maintained for a long time in front of the employees would be shattered.
Today, Lang Shiqi is also very excited, because the second part of "The History of the Earth" will be officially sold. In order to get the book smoothly, he gave half of the company's employees a holiday and went to the bookstore to help him line up. Who can grab it? Bonuses will be given back to the month.
After waiting for several hours, the phone finally rang.
"Hey, boss, I bought it and I'm on my way back."
"Okay, be careful! Be sure to protect the book."
Lang Shiqi exhorted nervously, and after hanging up the phone, he danced again.
After a few 10 minutes, he stared at the medium-sized cardboard box in the employee's hand for a long time before speaking.
"Didn't I say that buying one set is enough? How many sets did you buy?"
"Boss, this is a set."
The employee replied with a wry smile, and he was also speechless when buying the book.
The first time I went to a bookstore to buy a book, I was given a box, and it was a uniformly packaged box. It is said that it was given by Qingcheng Publishing House, so that everyone can take the book home conveniently.
"Give it to me, and go to the finance department to receive the bonus at the end of the month."
Lang Shiqi took the cardboard box and did not forget what he promised. Even though the company is not big, he is not a boss who writes bad promises.
Opening the carton, Lang Shiqi counted it carefully, and finally understood why it was packed in a box. There were 32 books in it, four times that of the first edition of "Earth History".
"Good guy, no wonder Hongwen wrote it for eight years."
While sighing, he rummaged through the cardboard box. What he was looking for was not the main volume, but the supplementary volume that Hongwen said.
"Journey to the West, yes, this is the book."
After some searching, Lang Shiqi found the new work that Hongwen said, but the first page was not a catalog, but an introduction about Wu Chengen.
After a brief moment, he continued to look back. Lang Shiqi was not interested in Wu Chengen's deeds. The story was written by Hongwen, and this person is just a tool.
[The first round: The source of spiritual root cultivation flows out, and the cultivation of mind and nature gives birth to Daosheng]
Chaos is not divided into chaos, and no one sees it.Since Pangu broke the Harmony, opened up a clear and turbid discernment.
Covering the group of students and admiring benevolence, inventing everything to be good.If you want to know good luck, you have to look at the biography of Shi E on Journey to the West.
There is a country outside Dongsheng Shenzhou called Aolai Country. The country is close to the sea. There is a famous mountain in the sea called Huaguo Mountain. This mountain is the ancestor of the ten continents. After Hongmeng's judgment
"Eh, it's half vernacular and half classical Chinese! Hmm. It looks more emotional than "Wukong Biography"."
Lang Shiqi tapped his head and muttered.
After experiencing the incident of "Dream of Red Mansions" and the first edition of "Earth History", most readers have gotten used to it, and it will not be so strenuous to read.
Next, Lang Shiqi saw the havoc in the Heavenly Palace from the birth of the Monkey King, during which time he cheered uninterruptedly, and he had the aura of a young master.
It wasn't until the Jade Emperor invited Tathagata Buddha to press the monkey under the Five Elements Mountain that the applause turned into complaints.
"Come on, didn't the old silver coin Tathagata be sent away by Tang Seng, why did he come out again?"
After complaining, he realized that this is not "The Legend of Wukong", but another story about Journey to the West.
500 years later, the Tathagata Buddha ordered Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva to go to the east to find someone to learn scriptures in the west because the people in Nanbu Prefecture were greedy for lust and enjoyed misfortune, killing and fighting more.
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and Mucha Pilgrim went to the east to find Buddhist scriptures, and subdued two demons on the way: one was the rolling curtain general who was originally serving Mi Xing of His Royal Highness Lingxue, but was banished by the Jade Emperor to suffer in Liusha River because he accidentally broke a glass cup;
One was originally the Tianpeng Marshal in Tianhe, but because he played Chang'e with wine, he was beaten down and reincarnated as a pig in the shape of a pig, and became a demon in Yunzhan Cave in Fuling Mountain.
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva also asked the Jade Emperor to forgive the son of the Dragon King of the West Sea who had broken the law, and sent him to a deep stream to wait for the Buddhist scriptures.
What follows is the story of the five masters and apprentices traveling westward to learn Buddhist scriptures. They went through hardships along the way, conquering demons and slaying demons, and went through ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships.
"My mother, the monkey has become a Buddha! I can't accept this ending! I can't accept it"
Lang Shiqi's roar sounded in the office. He looked at the last paragraph with red eyes, and the image of a monkey in cassock appeared in his mind.
Such an impact made him unsteady for a moment, and he fell down on the chair.
At this moment, the sky outside had turned pale, just like Lang Shiqi's current expression. He read the book for a whole day and night, but what he got was such an ending. The physical exhaustion could not keep up with the collapse of spiritual belief.
"Hongwen, you are destroying our faith! Hehe, you taught me to fight bravely, and now you tell me to become a Buddha immediately, all four things are empty"
Lang Shiqi suddenly felt that everything was meaningless. If possible, he would prefer that Hongwen did not write "Journey to the West". After waiting for eight years, he finally got such a result. He couldn't accept it.
After sitting there for a long time, he picked up his mobile phone as if grasping at straws, and opened the "Wukong Biography" group, hoping to get comfort from book friends, but all he saw was mourning.
In the end, he logged into the literature forum. This was his only hope. Fortunately, someone was analyzing it, and this person was very well-known. He was the only one in the circle of writers who had commented on "Wukong Biography". One of the old four gods of martial arts, Baiyu Feng Zijie.
[White Feather]: Hello everyone, I saw many book friends discussing "Journey to the West", saying that they could not accept the final ending.
Hehe, I am also a fan of "The Legend of Wukong". After I got "A Brief History of the Earth", the first thing I read was "Journey to the West".
I don’t know if you still remember, Hongwen once wrote such a passage in "The Legend of Wukong", when Wukong was worshiping his master Subhuti, he saw history in the eyes of his master, and that period of history was not described at that time. (See Chapter 140 for details)
I think what Wukong saw at that time was the story in "Journey to the West", and only in this way can it be reasonably explained.
You may wish to think about it from another angle. If we read "Journey to the West" first, then the ending is completely acceptable.
Please forgive me, whether it is in terms of writing style, story structure, character image, artistic characteristics, or philosophical thought, "Journey to the West" far surpasses "Wukong Biography". classic work.
Conversely, re-reading "The Legend of Wukong" is more like a fan fiction of "Journey to the West".
It is precisely because everyone prefers the Monkey King who is making troubles in the sky, rather than the fighting Buddha who sits on the Lingshan Mountain, that's why they are so sad and angry.
I don’t know if you have read the preface carefully. In the era of Wu Chengen in the book, Taoism was an evil force. It colluded with the rulers of the court and lost the progressive significance of folk Taoism. It has reached the point of decay and is despised by the people. The following "Journey to the West" is written for satire.
In "Journey to the West", Buddhism is a positive image, saving all living beings and relieving people's suffering. The monkey's rebellion is also a rebellion against Taoism. People, this is no problem.
In fact, "The Legend of Wukong" is Hongwen's story from the perspective of modern people, telling the story of Sun Wukong and Tang Seng's struggle against fate.
Because time is relatively tight, I still need to read "Journey to the West" a few more times, so I won't analyze it in detail.
But there is one thing I can tell you, after reading "Journey to the West", you might as well read "Wukong Biography" again, and you will find that the places that you didn't understand in the previous book will suddenly become enlightened, and you will feel the master and apprentice. The character image is more plump
After reading Feng Zijie's post, Lang Shiqi's heart calmed down. He realized that he was indeed too obsessed with monkeys, and he didn't read some content in detail.
Shaking his head, feeling that he could still persist, Lang Shiqi went to watch "The Legend of Wukong" again, this time for comparison.
Looking at it, he felt a sense of agreement with Feng Zijie's words. In all fairness, "Journey to the West" is indeed better than "Wukong Biography" in all aspects.
Perhaps "Wukong Biography" is really a fan fiction of "Journey to the West".
Thinking about it this way, Lang Shiqi is at ease, and his mood has also improved, so what is he struggling with?
Two Journeys to the West, two stories, two monkeys, two endings, it's all about which monkey you like better.
After figuring this out, Lang Shiqi felt sleepy and fell asleep in the office.
Huaxia, Kyoto City.
Every year tonight, the moon is shining like a practice, and there are no empty seats in the great hall that can accommodate 1 people.
Except for the invited guests, everyone else was famous writers from various countries. Reporters also flocked here, and book fans stood outside the auditorium.
They are about to witness a miracle in the history of literature. Someone will win the highest international literary award for two consecutive years.
But today, all this will become a reality, and no one will doubt whether Hongwen can win the award. This year's Literary Award was held in Beijing, China, which proves it. You must know that the award ceremony was held in New York, America before this.
Also, looking at the whole world, which book can compare with "Earth History"?
The content it contains has not been fully analyzed so far. Everyone still remembers how the media and celebrities from various countries commented on the second part of the book.
[New York Times]: It is hard to imagine that Hongwen actually wrote a different American history. Perhaps in another parallel world, our country is called the United States, our original residents are Indians, and we have experienced the invasion of Western European countries. Under the leadership of Washington, we won the War of Independence, experienced the Civil War, experienced the Industrial Revolution, and two world wars established our hegemony in the world.
[England Daily]: It’s funny to say that we didn’t really understand what is the British Empire, what is the Empire on which the sun never sets, and why we don’t have Napoleon in reality?
Thank you Hongwen for giving us such a glorious history in the novel, thank you for giving us a Sherlock Holmes, and for giving us a Napoleon
[Former President of the United States Besley]: I used to be intoxicated by the vastness of the universe in "Three-Body", and now I am impressed by the history of civilization in "Earth History". Compared with the civilization of the universe, the civilization of the earth is more real and real. Just like the existing real world, it is undeniable that Hongwen has really built a civilization.
[Oriana, Queen of England]: I like the Elizabeth chapter in the book, and I will try my best to be her. Also, I hope Hongwen can change the ending of Romeo and Juliet in the next edition of "Earth History", why write it as a tragedy?
[Derrick of the Poetry Association]: On behalf of the poetry associations of various countries, I issued a statement that we will establish an international poetry association. Mr. Hongwen is our first honorary president, and he will be the only honorary president. After him , the International Poetry Association no longer has an honorary president to express our respect for him.
[Famous historian Bahar]: As we all know, important documents in Latin America have been destroyed, and the history of nearly a hundred years is incomplete. The sub-volume "One Hundred Years of Solitude" in "History of the Earth" reproduces the history of Latin America The social landscape, although many details need to be refined, has important reference significance for us to complete the literature.
[Famous musicologist Adele Baker]: Mr. Hongwen, in the next edition, can you write Beethoven's "Fifth Symphony" (Fate) in the book? I know this request is too much, but we I have never experienced that kind of darkness, and I especially want to listen to the music of fighting against fate, how tragic and passionate it is.
In everyone's memory, the award ceremony of the 31st International Literature Award has begun. Surprisingly, the person who came to the stage to host this time was not a single person, but dozens of old people, and they lined up one by one.
Everyone suddenly found that these old people are the most authoritative old writers in the world, and they have served as the presidents of the writers' associations in their respective countries.
Among them is Zhu Yanlin, who is over 80 years old, and their current status is the highest jury member of the International Literature Award.
The bell rang, and Zhu Yanlin, as a representative, picked up the golden envelope from the tray, pulled out the note inside, and read out the name on it with all his strength.
"Now I announce that the winner of the 31st International Literature Award is Hongwen! His winning work is "A History of the Earth"."
"Because he created the history of the Literary Award and wrote a wonderful book for us, all members of our jury unanimously decided to award Hongwen the title of Great Writer in recognition of his contribution to world literature."
"This is the highest honor of the Literature Award, and it is also what all of us expect from him. We hope that he can continue to write "A History of the Earth", and we hope that the legend can continue forever."
In the first row of the auditorium, Chen Tianhong and Liu Yifei held hands tightly, and they looked at each other and smiled.
"Yi Fei, I have fulfilled my dream."
Chen Tianhong was talking to Yifei as well as himself.
No one knows how much energy he spent writing "The History of the Earth". Even though he has a unique brain, but he has gathered so much knowledge into a book, even a writer does not have such terrifying control over words.
It can be said that he finally did it.
Chen Tianhong stood up slowly, walked to the stage, and went to hold the unique trophy in this world.
The audience applauded thunderously, and countless people were cheering!
Living in the same era as Hongwen is the happiness of their generation. They have witnessed history and the birth of a "great writer". (full text)
Extra Story: Time went back more than ten years ago, a messy bed, books were thrown everywhere on the bed, there were comics, novels, and magazines
A young boy with a standard cropped cut was flipping through a martial arts novel, but it turned out to be the masterpiece of martial arts in this world, "Kunlun".
The appearance of the young boy looked very handsome, and he was actually very similar to Chen Tianhong. Suddenly, the boy felt his head sink, and then fell into endless darkness.
"Chen Tianhong, Chen Tianhong, are you okay, wake up."
In a daze, a sweet cry came, and the boy opened his hazy eyes.
He saw a beautiful face, looked up, and saw a yellow helmet with two cute yellow ears, and looked down, there were four large characters written on the chest, "Meituan Takeaway" .
Strange and familiar memories struck, and the boy knew that this was the young lady who often delivered food to him.
No, this memory is not my own, uh, it is my grown-up self. Shit!Crossed over?
Stupidly stunned for a while, the boy knew his identity in this world. He is 25 years old, a professional Internet writer (Pu Jie), no girlfriend, no car, three-digit savings, and the house is rented
Damn, I am too miserable in this world, God, you sent me here, shouldn't you give me some benefits, such as golden fingers and the like.
Wait, my head seems to be different, hey, I can actually remember all the chapters and texts of "Kunlun", I wipe it, and I also remember the online novel.
Time is the fairest, it can kill everything, and it can also prove everything. It never speaks, but it answers all the questions. If you are in full bloom, butterflies will come naturally.
In fact, the best way to evaluate the quality of a book is to give it to time.
If after a few years, decades, or even hundreds of years, people can still talk about the stories in the book and remember the plots of the characters in the book, then this book has already become a classic, and masterpieces are often created by time.
For example, "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Ball of Fat", which won the highest international literary award, and "Earth History", which is still talked about and attracted countless experts to study in depth.
And their authors have become literary giants that are difficult to surpass.
After reading the first edition of "Earth History", Zhu Yanlin, the former president of the Chinese Writers Association, once publicly posted on his personal social platform, saying that he was ashamed of being awarded the title of "literary hero" and that he would give up the position of the president of the Writers Association to Chen Tianhong.
In this regard, Chen Tianhong first expressed his respect to the seniors, and at the same time tactfully rejected the proposal of "abdicating the throne to the virtuous". He said that he would do his best to prepare the second part of "Earth History".
This preparation lasted eight years, exceeding the original plan and expectations
During these eight years, his first batch of fans has gradually aged. Lang Shiqi is Hongwen's first batch of fans. He fell into the trap while watching "The Legend of Wukong".
At that time, because of the phrase "I want to be able to hide my eyes again this day.", he rushed to the leader's office excitedly, fired the leader who put on his shoes, and turned the so-called Mr. Ma into a pony. (See Chapter 140 II for details)
Think about it, more than ten years have passed since today, and Lang Shiqi's age is approaching 50 years old. After all, even Hongwen's children have gone to junior high school. Isn't it normal for him to grow old?
In more than ten years, there are not many old fans who still remember "The Legend of Wukong".

But even so, those stories that once made their blood passionate are still in memory, what is missing is only a reason, or a call.
Eight years ago, Chen Tianhong's phrase "remember that monkey?" Lively again.
Lang Shiqi still remembers that after watching the interview, he danced excitedly like a child.
Fortunately, he started his own business as his own boss, and he was alone in the office, otherwise the glorious image he had maintained for a long time in front of the employees would be shattered.
Today, Lang Shiqi is also very excited, because the second part of "The History of the Earth" will be officially sold. In order to get the book smoothly, he gave half of the company's employees a holiday and went to the bookstore to help him line up. Who can grab it? Bonuses will be given back to the month.
After waiting for several hours, the phone finally rang.
"Hey, boss, I bought it and I'm on my way back."
"Okay, be careful! Be sure to protect the book."
Lang Shiqi exhorted nervously, and after hanging up the phone, he danced again.
After a few 10 minutes, he stared at the medium-sized cardboard box in the employee's hand for a long time before speaking.
"Didn't I say that buying one set is enough? How many sets did you buy?"
"Boss, this is a set."
The employee replied with a wry smile, and he was also speechless when buying the book.
The first time I went to a bookstore to buy a book, I was given a box, and it was a uniformly packaged box. It is said that it was given by Qingcheng Publishing House, so that everyone can take the book home conveniently.
"Give it to me, and go to the finance department to receive the bonus at the end of the month."
Lang Shiqi took the cardboard box and did not forget what he promised. Even though the company is not big, he is not a boss who writes bad promises.
Opening the carton, Lang Shiqi counted it carefully, and finally understood why it was packed in a box. There were 32 books in it, four times that of the first edition of "Earth History".
"Good guy, no wonder Hongwen wrote it for eight years."
While sighing, he rummaged through the cardboard box. What he was looking for was not the main volume, but the supplementary volume that Hongwen said.
"Journey to the West, yes, this is the book."
After some searching, Lang Shiqi found the new work that Hongwen said, but the first page was not a catalog, but an introduction about Wu Chengen.
After a brief moment, he continued to look back. Lang Shiqi was not interested in Wu Chengen's deeds. The story was written by Hongwen, and this person is just a tool.
[The first round: The source of spiritual root cultivation flows out, and the cultivation of mind and nature gives birth to Daosheng]
Chaos is not divided into chaos, and no one sees it.Since Pangu broke the Harmony, opened up a clear and turbid discernment.
Covering the group of students and admiring benevolence, inventing everything to be good.If you want to know good luck, you have to look at the biography of Shi E on Journey to the West.
There is a country outside Dongsheng Shenzhou called Aolai Country. The country is close to the sea. There is a famous mountain in the sea called Huaguo Mountain. This mountain is the ancestor of the ten continents. After Hongmeng's judgment
"Eh, it's half vernacular and half classical Chinese! Hmm. It looks more emotional than "Wukong Biography"."
Lang Shiqi tapped his head and muttered.
After experiencing the incident of "Dream of Red Mansions" and the first edition of "Earth History", most readers have gotten used to it, and it will not be so strenuous to read.
Next, Lang Shiqi saw the havoc in the Heavenly Palace from the birth of the Monkey King, during which time he cheered uninterruptedly, and he had the aura of a young master.
It wasn't until the Jade Emperor invited Tathagata Buddha to press the monkey under the Five Elements Mountain that the applause turned into complaints.
"Come on, didn't the old silver coin Tathagata be sent away by Tang Seng, why did he come out again?"
After complaining, he realized that this is not "The Legend of Wukong", but another story about Journey to the West.
500 years later, the Tathagata Buddha ordered Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva to go to the east to find someone to learn scriptures in the west because the people in Nanbu Prefecture were greedy for lust and enjoyed misfortune, killing and fighting more.
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and Mucha Pilgrim went to the east to find Buddhist scriptures, and subdued two demons on the way: one was the rolling curtain general who was originally serving Mi Xing of His Royal Highness Lingxue, but was banished by the Jade Emperor to suffer in Liusha River because he accidentally broke a glass cup;
One was originally the Tianpeng Marshal in Tianhe, but because he played Chang'e with wine, he was beaten down and reincarnated as a pig in the shape of a pig, and became a demon in Yunzhan Cave in Fuling Mountain.
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva also asked the Jade Emperor to forgive the son of the Dragon King of the West Sea who had broken the law, and sent him to a deep stream to wait for the Buddhist scriptures.
What follows is the story of the five masters and apprentices traveling westward to learn Buddhist scriptures. They went through hardships along the way, conquering demons and slaying demons, and went through ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships.
"My mother, the monkey has become a Buddha! I can't accept this ending! I can't accept it"
Lang Shiqi's roar sounded in the office. He looked at the last paragraph with red eyes, and the image of a monkey in cassock appeared in his mind.
Such an impact made him unsteady for a moment, and he fell down on the chair.
At this moment, the sky outside had turned pale, just like Lang Shiqi's current expression. He read the book for a whole day and night, but what he got was such an ending. The physical exhaustion could not keep up with the collapse of spiritual belief.
"Hongwen, you are destroying our faith! Hehe, you taught me to fight bravely, and now you tell me to become a Buddha immediately, all four things are empty"
Lang Shiqi suddenly felt that everything was meaningless. If possible, he would prefer that Hongwen did not write "Journey to the West". After waiting for eight years, he finally got such a result. He couldn't accept it.
After sitting there for a long time, he picked up his mobile phone as if grasping at straws, and opened the "Wukong Biography" group, hoping to get comfort from book friends, but all he saw was mourning.
In the end, he logged into the literature forum. This was his only hope. Fortunately, someone was analyzing it, and this person was very well-known. He was the only one in the circle of writers who had commented on "Wukong Biography". One of the old four gods of martial arts, Baiyu Feng Zijie.
[White Feather]: Hello everyone, I saw many book friends discussing "Journey to the West", saying that they could not accept the final ending.
Hehe, I am also a fan of "The Legend of Wukong". After I got "A Brief History of the Earth", the first thing I read was "Journey to the West".
I don’t know if you still remember, Hongwen once wrote such a passage in "The Legend of Wukong", when Wukong was worshiping his master Subhuti, he saw history in the eyes of his master, and that period of history was not described at that time. (See Chapter 140 for details)
I think what Wukong saw at that time was the story in "Journey to the West", and only in this way can it be reasonably explained.
You may wish to think about it from another angle. If we read "Journey to the West" first, then the ending is completely acceptable.
Please forgive me, whether it is in terms of writing style, story structure, character image, artistic characteristics, or philosophical thought, "Journey to the West" far surpasses "Wukong Biography". classic work.
Conversely, re-reading "The Legend of Wukong" is more like a fan fiction of "Journey to the West".
It is precisely because everyone prefers the Monkey King who is making troubles in the sky, rather than the fighting Buddha who sits on the Lingshan Mountain, that's why they are so sad and angry.
I don’t know if you have read the preface carefully. In the era of Wu Chengen in the book, Taoism was an evil force. It colluded with the rulers of the court and lost the progressive significance of folk Taoism. It has reached the point of decay and is despised by the people. The following "Journey to the West" is written for satire.
In "Journey to the West", Buddhism is a positive image, saving all living beings and relieving people's suffering. The monkey's rebellion is also a rebellion against Taoism. People, this is no problem.
In fact, "The Legend of Wukong" is Hongwen's story from the perspective of modern people, telling the story of Sun Wukong and Tang Seng's struggle against fate.
Because time is relatively tight, I still need to read "Journey to the West" a few more times, so I won't analyze it in detail.
But there is one thing I can tell you, after reading "Journey to the West", you might as well read "Wukong Biography" again, and you will find that the places that you didn't understand in the previous book will suddenly become enlightened, and you will feel the master and apprentice. The character image is more plump
After reading Feng Zijie's post, Lang Shiqi's heart calmed down. He realized that he was indeed too obsessed with monkeys, and he didn't read some content in detail.
Shaking his head, feeling that he could still persist, Lang Shiqi went to watch "The Legend of Wukong" again, this time for comparison.
Looking at it, he felt a sense of agreement with Feng Zijie's words. In all fairness, "Journey to the West" is indeed better than "Wukong Biography" in all aspects.
Perhaps "Wukong Biography" is really a fan fiction of "Journey to the West".
Thinking about it this way, Lang Shiqi is at ease, and his mood has also improved, so what is he struggling with?
Two Journeys to the West, two stories, two monkeys, two endings, it's all about which monkey you like better.
After figuring this out, Lang Shiqi felt sleepy and fell asleep in the office.
Huaxia, Kyoto City.
Every year tonight, the moon is shining like a practice, and there are no empty seats in the great hall that can accommodate 1 people.
Except for the invited guests, everyone else was famous writers from various countries. Reporters also flocked here, and book fans stood outside the auditorium.
They are about to witness a miracle in the history of literature. Someone will win the highest international literary award for two consecutive years.
But today, all this will become a reality, and no one will doubt whether Hongwen can win the award. This year's Literary Award was held in Beijing, China, which proves it. You must know that the award ceremony was held in New York, America before this.
Also, looking at the whole world, which book can compare with "Earth History"?
The content it contains has not been fully analyzed so far. Everyone still remembers how the media and celebrities from various countries commented on the second part of the book.
[New York Times]: It is hard to imagine that Hongwen actually wrote a different American history. Perhaps in another parallel world, our country is called the United States, our original residents are Indians, and we have experienced the invasion of Western European countries. Under the leadership of Washington, we won the War of Independence, experienced the Civil War, experienced the Industrial Revolution, and two world wars established our hegemony in the world.
[England Daily]: It’s funny to say that we didn’t really understand what is the British Empire, what is the Empire on which the sun never sets, and why we don’t have Napoleon in reality?
Thank you Hongwen for giving us such a glorious history in the novel, thank you for giving us a Sherlock Holmes, and for giving us a Napoleon
[Former President of the United States Besley]: I used to be intoxicated by the vastness of the universe in "Three-Body", and now I am impressed by the history of civilization in "Earth History". Compared with the civilization of the universe, the civilization of the earth is more real and real. Just like the existing real world, it is undeniable that Hongwen has really built a civilization.
[Oriana, Queen of England]: I like the Elizabeth chapter in the book, and I will try my best to be her. Also, I hope Hongwen can change the ending of Romeo and Juliet in the next edition of "Earth History", why write it as a tragedy?
[Derrick of the Poetry Association]: On behalf of the poetry associations of various countries, I issued a statement that we will establish an international poetry association. Mr. Hongwen is our first honorary president, and he will be the only honorary president. After him , the International Poetry Association no longer has an honorary president to express our respect for him.
[Famous historian Bahar]: As we all know, important documents in Latin America have been destroyed, and the history of nearly a hundred years is incomplete. The sub-volume "One Hundred Years of Solitude" in "History of the Earth" reproduces the history of Latin America The social landscape, although many details need to be refined, has important reference significance for us to complete the literature.
[Famous musicologist Adele Baker]: Mr. Hongwen, in the next edition, can you write Beethoven's "Fifth Symphony" (Fate) in the book? I know this request is too much, but we I have never experienced that kind of darkness, and I especially want to listen to the music of fighting against fate, how tragic and passionate it is.
In everyone's memory, the award ceremony of the 31st International Literature Award has begun. Surprisingly, the person who came to the stage to host this time was not a single person, but dozens of old people, and they lined up one by one.
Everyone suddenly found that these old people are the most authoritative old writers in the world, and they have served as the presidents of the writers' associations in their respective countries.
Among them is Zhu Yanlin, who is over 80 years old, and their current status is the highest jury member of the International Literature Award.
The bell rang, and Zhu Yanlin, as a representative, picked up the golden envelope from the tray, pulled out the note inside, and read out the name on it with all his strength.
"Now I announce that the winner of the 31st International Literature Award is Hongwen! His winning work is "A History of the Earth"."
"Because he created the history of the Literary Award and wrote a wonderful book for us, all members of our jury unanimously decided to award Hongwen the title of Great Writer in recognition of his contribution to world literature."
"This is the highest honor of the Literature Award, and it is also what all of us expect from him. We hope that he can continue to write "A History of the Earth", and we hope that the legend can continue forever."
In the first row of the auditorium, Chen Tianhong and Liu Yifei held hands tightly, and they looked at each other and smiled.
"Yi Fei, I have fulfilled my dream."
Chen Tianhong was talking to Yifei as well as himself.
No one knows how much energy he spent writing "The History of the Earth". Even though he has a unique brain, but he has gathered so much knowledge into a book, even a writer does not have such terrifying control over words.
It can be said that he finally did it.
Chen Tianhong stood up slowly, walked to the stage, and went to hold the unique trophy in this world.
The audience applauded thunderously, and countless people were cheering!
Living in the same era as Hongwen is the happiness of their generation. They have witnessed history and the birth of a "great writer". (full text)
Extra Story: Time went back more than ten years ago, a messy bed, books were thrown everywhere on the bed, there were comics, novels, and magazines
A young boy with a standard cropped cut was flipping through a martial arts novel, but it turned out to be the masterpiece of martial arts in this world, "Kunlun".
The appearance of the young boy looked very handsome, and he was actually very similar to Chen Tianhong. Suddenly, the boy felt his head sink, and then fell into endless darkness.
"Chen Tianhong, Chen Tianhong, are you okay, wake up."
In a daze, a sweet cry came, and the boy opened his hazy eyes.
He saw a beautiful face, looked up, and saw a yellow helmet with two cute yellow ears, and looked down, there were four large characters written on the chest, "Meituan Takeaway" .
Strange and familiar memories struck, and the boy knew that this was the young lady who often delivered food to him.
No, this memory is not my own, uh, it is my grown-up self. Shit!Crossed over?
Stupidly stunned for a while, the boy knew his identity in this world. He is 25 years old, a professional Internet writer (Pu Jie), no girlfriend, no car, three-digit savings, and the house is rented
Damn, I am too miserable in this world, God, you sent me here, shouldn't you give me some benefits, such as golden fingers and the like.
Wait, my head seems to be different, hey, I can actually remember all the chapters and texts of "Kunlun", I wipe it, and I also remember the online novel.
