Chapter 12: Does China still have such literary works?

~7 min read 1,220 words

Jincheng.

A woman with blonde hair and blue eyes, who looked about thirty years old, walked out of a company building.

Looking closely, this was a fairly famous skyscraper in the country.

In this building, there was a company engaged in literature.

This included the woman. As a professional translator, although she was from a foreign country, she had already lived in the country for half a year.

Except for the fact that her Chinese was not very good, she had integrated very well in the country.

She was very beautiful, with deep features. Perhaps because of her foreign ancestry, she had a high nose bridge and big eyes, and the rate of turning heads on the road was particularly high.

She stood on the side of the road, seemingly waiting for a car.

Taking advantage of the time waiting for the car, the woman—Aierya—took out her phone and scrolled through Weibo.

Suddenly, she saw a trending search, the content of which was: "Literary world rising star 'Pig-Raising Big Shot', fame in the literary world is promising!"

Aierya was stunned for a moment and muttered to herself in her somewhat broken Chinese: "Can someone who raises pigs still be related to literature?"

Obviously, Aierya misunderstood the meaning of the words "Pig-Raising Big Shot" in this trending search.

It wasn't until Aierya clicked on the trending search to take a look that she realized "Pig-Raising Big Shot" was the name of a person’s ID and had nothing to do with raising pigs.

Aierya searched on Weibo and found that what came out were all messy things, which had nothing to do with literature.

Aierya stood there puzzled: "So... how did this trending search come about??"

Could it be that someone was crazy about wanting to be popular, so they deliberately bought the trending search?

While Aierya couldn't figure it out, she saw someone in the comment section say:

"Everyone, don't misunderstand. Although the trending search is on Weibo, the person posted the text on a blog!"

Aierya then suddenly realized and opened the blog software to take a look, and by the way, searched for that account.

To be honest, Aierya only downloaded the blog software when she first came to the country, and she hadn't used it at all since then.

Now opening it again required an update. With curiosity and anxiety, Aierya finally found the "Pig-Raising Big Shot" account.

And then she successfully saw the two articles posted under this account.

Aierya still held a curious attitude and looked at it casually, but as a result, she couldn't be casual later.

Even when the car Aierya hailed came to her, Aierya forgot to respond and instead kept watching forgetfully.

Aierya felt that China was a great country in every way, but the only fatal point was that literary works were really not very good.

It seemed that men, women, old, and young, their literary talent was very average.

Aierya felt a bit heartbroken. China was such an excellent place, so why was it lagging behind in the literary world?

Indeed, in this world, China’s literary works were somewhat backward, and basically no one had been able to win international literary awards.

Other countries had always looked down on China’s literary works.

And at this moment, Aierya didn't expect that she could see the works posted by "Pig-Raising Big Shot" by such a coincidence.

"Is this really a Chinese literary work?" Aierya was really curious and shocked.

Aierya had seen those Chinese literary works before, but unfortunately, they were one worse than the other.

It felt as if they were created for the sake of creation, without any essence, and would not give people a better sense of substitution.

Aierya watched and felt it was boring, so she didn't watch it later.

She threw herself into the literary world again, also to see if any miracles could happen.

I didn't expect that it really appeared now...

Aierya couldn't describe what kind of mood she was in, she just felt it was incredible.

She didn't understand, was this really written by a Chinese writer?

Aierya didn't believe in evil and read those two articles again.

This time, even if she didn't believe it, she had to believe it. The content of these two books was really particularly good.

One taught people never to give up no matter what, and to meet difficulties head-on.

The other contained loneliness. Although the word loneliness was not heavily described in the book, it seemed that every book was full of loneliness.

What kind of author could write such books?

And what had that author experienced to be able to give her such feelings?

Aierya gripped her phone excitedly, and a bolder idea gradually emerged in her heart.

"'The Old Man and the Sea', 'One Hundred Years of Solitude'? These two works are simply too great! It seems that China’s literary world is not that finished!"

Aierya pursed her lips, her big eyes full of excitement and enthusiasm.

"How can such good works only appear in China? This loss is too great!"

"Such good works should be promoted to foreign countries, so that the whole world knows the excellence of this author!"

Aierya had always been a woman who acted decisively.

Especially after seeing such excellent works, the excitement in her heart was even harder to suppress.

Aierya decisively returned to the company and translated Ye Xuan’s two works to foreign countries.

This took a lot of time, but fortunately, it was successfully completed.

As Aierya clicked to repost and publish, she couldn't help but keep staring at the background data.

Aierya was anxious, not knowing if those people abroad could accept such works!

At least Aierya felt that this work was really good!

If she could make this book popular all over the world, it would not be in vain!

Then.

Visibly, the work that had just been reposted for two minutes had already received several evaluations!

Aierya also took advantage of her spare time at work to help do a little promotion, making it easier for more people to see.

"Oh my god! How can there be such a great work? Who wrote this book?"

"When I was very young, I loved reading books the most. I have read all the classics at home and abroad. I didn't expect to see such a great work."

"It’s a pity that there have never been books I like on the Internet. Whose work is this? Are there any other works that can be appreciated?"

"Where is this a book? This is completely a work of art. It’s great, I want to promote these two books immediately!"

"Looking at the meaning brought by this book, I suddenly feel that I have lived half my life in vain."

"In the future, I must learn from the old man in 'The Old Man and the Sea' and make myself a better person!"

These evaluations were in English, but it did not affect Aierya’s reading.

As soon as Aierya saw this battle, she smiled from ear to ear.

It’s a hit!

These two books are also a hit abroad!

It even completely exceeded Aierya’s budget, and more and more people came for it!

Even the dream of being known globally, I’m afraid it’s not far away! ===== CHAPTER 26 =====
