Chapter 23: Does China still have such literary works?

~7 min read 1,266 words

Magic City.

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

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

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

Among them was this 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 at the moment, everything else was integrated quite well in the country.

Her appearance was very pretty, her facial features were very deep, possibly because of her foreign ancestry, with a high nose bridge and big eyes, and her 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', literary world fame is in sight!"

Aierya was stunned for a moment, and muttered to herself in her somewhat broken Chinese: "Can a person who raises pigs actually be linked to literature?"

Clearly, 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 discovered "Pig-Raising Big Shot" was the name of a person's ID, and it 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 in place, 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 really 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 published 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 that she opened it again, it needed to be updated. With curiosity and a nervous mood, Aierya finally found the "Pig-Raising Big Shot" account.

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

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

Even when the car Aierya hailed came in front of her, Aierya forgot to respond, and instead kept reading selflessly.

Aierya felt that the country of China was quite good in every way, but the only fatal point was that in terms of literary works, it was really not very good.

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

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

Indeed, in this world, Chinese literary works were somewhat lagging, and international literary awards were basically never won by anyone.

Other countries had always looked down on Chinese literary works.

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

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

Aierya hadn't seen those Chinese literary works before, but unfortunately, they were always worse than the last.

It felt as if they were creating for the sake of creation, without any essence at all, and wouldn't bring people a better sense of immersion.

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

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

She 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 to never give up no matter what, and to face difficulties head-on.

The other contained loneliness. Clearly, the word "loneliness" was not heavily described in the book, but 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 clutched her phone excitedly, and a bolder idea gradually arose in her heart.

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

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

"How can such good works only appear in China? Such a loss is simply 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 period of time took quite a while, but fortunately, it was completed smoothly.

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

Aierya was nervous, and she didn't know 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 be worth the trip!

Immediately after.

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

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

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

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

"It's just a pity that there have never been books I like on the internet. Whose work is this? Are there any other works for people to appreciate?"

"Where is this a book? This is completely an artwork, it's too great, I want to promote these two books quickly!"

"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 didn't affect Aierya's reading.

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

It became popular!

These two books also became popular abroad!

It even completely exceeded Aierya's budget, and more and more people came for the name!

And the dream of being known globally was probably not far away! ===== CHAPTER 26 =====
