Reborn Cultural Empire

A dark blue sun umbrella is supported by a steel frame under the umbrella. Although the current sun is sultry, it will still be a bit overwhelming after a long time in the sun without any cover.Moreover, although Gallimard Publishing House did not make too many arrangements in terms of marketing methods, it may also want readers to experience the simplest and original reading and fast reading, and does not want too many gimmicks and means to divide the communication between readers and authors. But just for the layout of the signing scene, it can give people a feeling of comfort and peace of mind in an extremely simple manner.At the very least, the current workbenches of several authors are definitely not the ones signed and sold in China, a very inconspicuous small table and chair, which will kill people, but choose a new workbench that looks almost directly available. House decoration, office supplies as furniture.

Behind such a simple and literary temporary desk, writers such as Yang Yi, Louis Jacques, etc., buried their heads at their desks, signed names for their readers in an orderly manner, and occasionally chatted with a smile. .And behind the tall trees on both sides below the tower, those commercial stores and buildings stand there quietly, silently witnessing the changes on both sides of the Seine River. go.

These buildings, together with the seemingly unchanging river water, divide the whole of Paris into pieces, scattered but not fragmented on the magnificent territory of the French capital.And the flow of people like ants wanders among them, either busy or walking leisurely.

People yearn for beautiful scenery, those street artists who sit on the street and play, those women who go in and out of the neighborhood food store to buy what they need for the day for their families, and those foreign white-collar workers who hold briefcases under their arms and foresee customers.Even those people sitting in their own cars waiting for the traffic lights at the intersection occasionally look towards the tower.There is also a hint of pride or expectation in the eyes.It is a symbol and symbol of its own country, a building known all over the world.If it wasn't for earning living expenses, if it wasn't for preparing dinner for men who had been busy all day outside and for children returning home from school, if it wasn't for rushing to the meeting place agreed with clients, how many people would feel that their current Life is enough to be satisfying?Instead, you can be more leisurely, hoping that you can enjoy this beautiful afternoon in late spring and early summer like those tourists who are feeding white pigeons under the iron tower?

But for Yang Yi, such a beautiful afternoon seemed to be because of something that this fellow-looking man suddenly took out from his purse.And it got a little scary.

Just when the young man saw clearly what the man was holding, but he didn't know what that square square was for, so he subconsciously wanted to ask "what do you want to do" vigilantly, his face was originally kind The enthusiastic old man suddenly smiled at him inexplicably, the expression on his face was somewhat creepy.Even a traverser who has experienced rebirth can face most situations calmly only because of his certainty about the future, but this guy seems to be a lunatic.Obviously, it is not within the range that the reborn can treat calmly, because the lunatic is exactly the kind of action that is difficult for anyone to predict, even the greatest astrologers and masters of Zhouyi from ancient to modern times are no exception.

Maybe it was just a prank?

in short.In just over a second, the best guess Yang Yi could think of was the above one.But looking at the man in front of him without any fear, his pupils were suddenly bloodshot.His expression was almost crazy, and the boy knew that he seemed to have guessed something wrong.But will something serious happen next?The boy had no time to imagine.I can only tilt my neck back slightly according to the most basic nature of my body.

A second later, or maybe half a second later, the man suddenly pointed the big brother-like object in his hand at Yang Yi, and then the raging flames that suddenly appeared were extremely violent under the sun, and the flames swept across the sky. Through the eyes of everyone around, it is a camping igniter, which is rare in China today, but in European and American countries where donkey travel and expeditions are already very popular, this kind of thing can be found in any outdoor equipment store. something that can be bought.The flame that spewed out from the igniter similar to the big brother antenna was about half a foot long, and the flames at the end shot up obliquely due to the wind outside.

The sound of the igniter igniting was not loud, but it brought a chill like ice to the originally peaceful and peaceful signing scene.

The female translator who had been by Yang Yi's side, communicating with him and his French readers, and providing translation services dutifully, was stunned at this moment. In the 30-plus years of this woman's life, although from various media, She has come into contact with countless horrible incidents and strange characters, but no matter how extensive her knowledge is, it is only the news she learned through third-party channels. As for facing those scenes, she has never thought of it, even in her dreams. There are no similar dreams.Because she is a person first, she will think about her own safety, and feel how frightening the threat to her life is. Then, she is an employee of a company, a woman who works hard for her work.

Therefore, when that red-faced foreign man suddenly showed the camping lighter, the surrounding people were as dumb as conch shells on the west coast of France. This scene was reflected in their retinas, but their bodies were paralyzed. Arrived unable to take any action.

These changes that occurred in just one or two seconds, if played back with a video camera, people might miss them in the blink of an eye, but Yang Yi feels as if several hours have passed, but this slowing down is a sensory experience. , but not reflected in the actions of the body and limbs.Then he saw the flame sprayed out by the man with the igniter. After forcing himself back, he then turned to the national flag in front of his desk. The fibers were licked by the flame and burned almost instantly. A corner hangs, and then spreads over the entire flag.

In the past and present, the boy has never encountered such a situation, or he is the same as the female translator beside him, even if it is a dream.Never dreamed of a scene like this.This kind of situation has never been experienced before, so after the first encounter, the brain must have an adaptation process before it can respond.The boy was stunned for a second abnormally.But when he saw the national flag in front of him being burned, he felt angry from the bottom of his heart.But in an instant, it turned into a force that frantically ran through the limbs and bones, allowing him to snatch the national flag and drag it to the ground. , let him put his foot down, and then fit himself on the flag.

According to the divisions on the Internet in later generations, the young man is sure that he will not belong to any group of leftists or rightists.He also hates the various injustices in those societies, and he is also dissatisfied with those officials who use their power to commit crimes. He also has no good looks at all kinds of rumors that spread wantonly, and scoundrels who pretend to be victims to win sympathy.It can even be said that his concept of the country is far less clear and profound than the concept of the nation.Yang Yi is very clear that his sense of identity with the nation may be slightly greater than his sense of identity with the country, after all, he is essentially speaking.It is more emotional than rational, so the cultural roots that have been passed down for thousands of years are more recognized and supported by him.

But identity with nation and culture is more important than national form.Doesn't mean he's an anarchist, especially with that flag.Whenever he sees the bright red flag flying overseas, the pride in the boy's heart is still very strong.It was so thick that he was willing to proudly declare that he was a Chinese.

So when he encountered the incident of burning his own national flag and reacted, his first action was to extinguish the flames.

Fortunately, the flag is not big, it is just a small flag that is placed on the desk or held in the hand on certain occasions.So when Yang Yihe jumped on it, almost in the blink of an eye, the flames that had been burning fiercely were completely extinguished, leaving only half of the charred little red flag.Seeing that two stars had been burnt, and the second small five-star above was also scorched, what rose in the young man's heart was the nameless anger that suddenly rushed to the heavenly spirit.Then he got up, amidst the belated screams, he rushed out from behind the desk, chasing after the fleeing figure without any hesitation.

"Yang!" The female translator only managed to yell halfway, and then withdrew into her throat again, and the originally orderly reader team suddenly fell into disarray because of this sudden change.

The man didn't escape in time, because after Yang pulled the flag to the ground and jumped on it, he hesitated for a moment, then leaned over to look nearby, and knew that the boy stood up and stared angrily at him. After approaching him, the man turned and ran away.It was this small unnecessary movement that delayed his best escape time and gave Yang Yi a chance to get close to him.

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, almost everyone saw Yang Yi rushing behind the man like the wind, and taking advantage of the fact that the man was interrupted by a reader, he made a scalp-numbing violent gesture, According to the man, he rushed forward without hesitation.The reason why it makes people's scalp tingle is because the two have left the lawn, but chased to the sidewalk between the lawn and the lawn. Although the road is not wide, it is not enough to make both of them roll after a pounce. It fell into the grass, but with an extremely hard posture, it greeted two men who wanted to have intimate contact with the road.

But what is the purpose of this man, but his behavior is to make any Chinese person angry. If he doesn't teach this man a lesson, he thinks he can do whatever he wants abroad.

So Yang Yi pounced forward, but exhausted all his strength, and didn't care about the location of the fall, whether it was the lawn or the concrete floor, anyway, let the other party talk first.

After the two collided together, a muffled sound that reached the depths of the bystanders' souls erupted. After the man made contact with the ground, he turned around with a three-point fear and a seven-point annoyance. Obviously, he didn't expect that Yang Yi, a young man who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, would dare to turn around and make trouble for himself.And most importantly, in public now, as a writer who makes a living by writing, his image at this time will undoubtedly arouse people's doubts.
