travel starts with photography

Chen Xing is very concerned about his books, especially after he met those writer friends.

Although it is true that Karl has made a lot of money, it is also a matter of your will. Money is money, and friendship is friendship. We cultural people, can we use money to talk about things?
Chen Xing was very happy when he made money, and Karl was also happy because he invited Chen Xing to shoot his cover. This is a win-win situation.

So Chen Xing sent him a book as a matter of course.

All in Chinese.

After all, his book is not like Carl's autobiography, which has countless versions.

When he was in Iceland, Chen Xing got the book and gave it to Chen Jiaqian and also sent it to Karl. It has been more than ten days now, and Karl Ove Knausgaard, who was tortured by square characters, finally completed one of his life new achievements.

That is to finish reading an original Chinese book.

A few days ago, he was very happy when he received the gift from Chen Xing. For some reason, although he only had contact with Chen Xing for a short time, he always felt that the relationship between everyone should be like old friends who have known each other for many years. of.

So he gave Chen Xing the manuscript of his new book. If Chen Xing is willing to sell this manuscript, it is estimated that it can sell for a lot of money.

Karl unwrapped the present and took a look.

Huh?Chinese book?
Which of his books has been published?

Before Chen Xing left Norway, he had a meeting with him. At that time, Chen Xing said that he also had a book to be published, but it was a pity that he could not get the book for the time being.At that time, Karl thought Chen Xing was joking. After all, it is normal for young people to brag and raise their face.

Moreover, Chen Xing's alcohol tolerance is not good, Carl thinks that Chen Xing is drunk.

So I didn't ask this matter in detail. If Chen Xing couldn't make it up, everyone would be embarrassed.

But really out?
A good friend sent me a book written by myself. Not to mention that Karl is a writer, anyone would want to read the contents.

So he gritted his teeth, found a translator who could speak Chinese, and spent a few days reading this travel note.

facebook chat...

"Xing, long time no see. I recently finished reading the travel notes you sent me. Your experience in France is amazing. If I hadn't been to Paris, I would definitely take your book with me as a bible... Unfortunately, I have been there more than 20 years ago."

"Thank you for your compliment. Tell me more, I like it very much, but what do you mean you have been there? Is my book useless if you have been there?"

"Yes, I have been robbed of my bag in Paris, I have been stolen in the subway, and those damn Paris thieves even stole my hamburger, these things have long since drained my enthusiasm for Paris. If I had read your book earlier, I might not have experienced these things."

"That was more than 20 years earlier, and I was not born yet..."

And it turns out that thieves in Paris were already so rampant before the millennium?

"Anyway, it's very well written. Do you have any ideas about publishing this book in Norway? You have seen the publishing houses I work with, and they should be interested in your travelogue."

"Please be sure to contact me!"

There is no need to be polite when chatting with friends. Chen Xing really wants to publish the book abroad.

Or go back and find the teacher?

Is there a French version available?
Forget it.

The Paris in my book is not as beautiful as people imagined. If it is published in France, I will definitely be scolded. He has earned so much money from the French and he will not say anything good about this country. Chen Xing may be punished. Those French trolls are unilaterally expelled from France.

Seeing what Chen Xing said, Karl immediately went to call Chen Xing to make a recommendation.

In his opinion, this book is really good. It is a very comprehensive travel guide to France. In it, Chen Xing himself introduces the major museums in Paris, views, self-driving tour routes, accommodation in the Paris area, and major shopping stores. etc.

From some of the travel stories inside, we can also see the unique style of France.

Seeing that Carl stopped talking, Chen Xing sent a thank you emoticon and then lay down on the seat... He is now driving to the venue of a Guizhou folk custom event, which is located in an ethnic minority autonomous prefecture in the south of Guizhou.

Now that I have decided to watch the football match before taking the plane, I have plenty of time, and there is still some time before the football match starts.

Therefore, Chen Xing took the car to go and see another group activity that Guigui was also famous for.

Bullfighting.

This event is open to locals in southern Guizhou for free, and there are many people. Foreign tourists have to charge money to go. The one Chen Xing found is relatively famous. The ticket fee is 60 yuan per person.

Chen Xing mainly went to watch the excitement.

He likes to be quiet when watching the scenery, but of course there are more people and more atmosphere when watching the game.

Chen Xing was very happy when he went there, but he suffered a little when it came to the car ride.

The section of the expressway ahead is fine, but after getting off the expressway, many road surfaces are not very smooth. Although the car does not shake too much when driving, the feeling of driving like waves makes it even more difficult for some people who suffer from motion sickness to control themselves.

Chen Xing was still sitting in a van carrying seven passengers, if he was taking a passenger car, he would have passed out long ago.

Putting down the phone, Chen Xing rubbed his temples.

The car has been driving for more than three hours, and it is very close to the destination.

There are various small hills outside the window, and occasionally you can see flat paddy fields under the road. There are more paddy fields in Guizhou than dry fields, and because the cultivated area is not enough, there are also some terraced fields, but they do not form spring full The size of the village.

"It's almost here, there are two passengers in the bullfighting arena in Gu36 Village, right?"

"Yes." Chen Xing said.

Another young man nodded in agreement.

No one chatted on the road before, only the driver made a phone call with his wife for less than a minute while driving, so Chen Xing now knows that there is another person with the same destination as him.

After 10 minutes, the two got out of the car.

Chen Xing wanted to strike up a conversation and ask about the situation of the bullfight this afternoon, but when he got out of the car, he saw the man in front of him leaving with a motorcycle driver.

"Are you so proficient, a local?"

This van was delivered directly to the place in this town, so although the young man got off the bus here, he knew that he didn't get off the bus here to watch the game when he got on the driver's car.

The bullring in Gu 36 Village is now in front of Chen Xing.

There is an ancient character in front of this bullring, but this stadium is not old at all, it is even very new, because it is a building that was built in the last ten years and has nothing to do with ancient buildings.

It is said on the Internet that because this competition has a long history, there was a 36 village bullfighting competition a long time ago, so the new venue is now built just to use this name.

Nothing can be seen from the outside. The position along the street is blocked by a circle of antique shops. These buildings have second or even third floors. The four sides of these buildings are empty, like small pavilions built on top of houses.

special seat?

The game started at [-] pm, Chen Xing came a little earlier now.

At the entrance to the bullring, only an old man was looking at his mobile phone. The door was open, and Chen Xing could see the seats inside from the street.

Kind of like that Colosseum in Arles?

Chen Xing was deeply impressed by the Colosseum in Arles. After all, this place exhibited his works for several months, and then won the newcomer award, so it can be regarded as his blessed place.It's a pity that there are very few performances there now.

Even if there is, it has nothing to do with fighting beasts. (end of this chapter)
