Chapter 431 Top Ten Famous Books!
"Baby, we got off the plane immediately and arrived in Yangcheng. Finally, we can see where Adolf Su, the biggest genius of this century, lives." Mott and his wife are British, and of course their family conditions are very good. They prepared a global trip after marriage, and the first stop was finalized in China.
The famous places and historical sites mentioned in Yangcheng are no match for the capital and the ancient capital of Xi'an in the twelve dynasties. When it comes to natural scenery, there is no Huangshan, and the Five Mountains and West Lake in Lushan, it can be said that there is nothing left behind.
Generally speaking, almost no foreigner will fly to Yangcheng from abroad for a trip, but the Motts and his wife came here deliberately, and it was the first stop on their honeymoon. The reason for this decision was that Yangcheng had something that no other city did - this is the city where Su Shichen grew up.
For Mott and his wife, they are hardcore fans of Su Shichen, but to be more precise, they are hardcore fans of "The Sherlock Holmes Detectives". There is still a story about the relationship between Mott and his wife.
Both met on the Holmes interest website on the Internet, and they had a very common language, so they made an appointment to meet in reality. After meeting in reality, they had a great conversation. It is said that British people are old-fashioned, French people are very romantic, but British people also have romantic times. It is like the Mott couple got married less than a month after they met, because their marriage originated from "Shellmes Detectives", so they decided to book the first stop of their honeymoon at the place where Su Shichen grew up.
"Dear, is this Yangcheng?" Mott's wife looked around. In fact, their main purpose this time was to see what environment Su Shichen created "Shelmes Detective Collection". Of course, if you have time, you'd better look at Su Shichen's school. What kind of school can cultivate a genius like Su Shichen who shocked the world.
The idea is very good, and the Motts have some research on Chinese. Although they are not very proficient, there is no problem with normal communication and everything is pretty good. However, they are not prepared enough and they don’t know the exact location of the place they are going to.
But Mott is not stupid either, and knows he can also take a taxi.
"Sir, do you know Adolf Su, we are going to Adolf Su's school." Although that tone is very strange, you can still understand it.
"Adolf Su?" The taxi driver was puzzled. Who was it? It sounded like a foreigner's name. How did a foreigner know where he was studying?
"Adolf Su, it's Adolf Su." Mott was anxious and repeated repeatedly. How could it be that Su Shichen's experience of defiance has gone viral in the UK. It was regarded as the goal of many people. According to the information obtained by Mott, Su Shichen should be the pride of Chinese people. How could the people in Yangcheng know?
But the driver didn't know that the driver didn't know. Mott's wife pulled her and whispered in English that was more formal than Mott, "Adolf Su is an English name, and she speaks Chinese name."
"What is the Chinese name of Adolf Su?"
"It seems to be called Su Dicheng."
"That's Su Shicheng."
"You are talking about Su Shichen, the author of "The Sherlock Holmes Collection" and "The Matrix" and other works." The taxi driver immediately came to his senses.
"Yes, it's Su Shichen." The Mott nodded, "Please take us to where Su had been to school in the past."
"There is nothing good to see in Su University's school place, otherwise you can go to Su Bei to see what's going on. If you don't go to Su Bei, it would be like not to see Yangcheng." The taxi driver is also in his thirties, far older than Su Shichen. However, when it comes to Su Shichen still calling Su Da, this is definitely a kind of respect.
"What is Su Bei?"
"You'll know if you take you there." The taxi seemed quite enthusiastic. Mot and his wife got in the car and ran into the car and looked out. Everything seemed very curious and looked around the streets.
The taxi driver was driving the taxi and galloping in the city. The driver was very kind and did not pull Mot and his wife around the distance. He arrived at the destination in a short while. Then what caught the model couple's eyes was a statue about three-story high in ten meters.
The spirit is full of energy and cannot be regarded as sharp. The statue is lifelike and seems to be coming back to life. The carved figure is Su Shichen.
"here it is?"
"This is the center of the entire Yangcheng..."
"Sir, please say it slower, I won't understand if it's faster." Mott.
"Did you see that monument?" Looking in the direction pointed by the taxi driver, this place is similar to a square. The middle position of the square is not a fountain, but a large smooth stone monument. The four words on it were said, Mott had difficulty pronunciating it.
"Cultural Capital?"
"Yes, it is the cultural capital. Yangcheng is a city built based on Su Shichen. The "Honghuang" area has been built. There you can see all kinds of prehistoric beasts and buy a lot of souvenirs. In addition, the Holmes area is under construction, with a lot of reasoning and a club for escape rooms..." The taxi driver said a lot of introductions.
Mott and his wife were both shocked. There were many statues on the streets of the United States. Although Britain was not as many as the United States, there were also many. It seemed that the famous British prime ministers and queens all had statues.
There are many statues, but this has never happened. Building a whole city with one person requires a lot of courage to do!!
Su Shichen's reputation in such a city can no longer be described as high reputation, and this has simply reached a limit.
"By the way, I suggest that you stay until tomorrow. Yangcheng will hold a very rapid and huge event tomorrow. It is a novel competition, and it is an unprecedented grand event." In fact, the taxi driver also heard about it and did not know much in detail at all. He only knew that there was a very grand event. In fact, tomorrow it will be held in Yangcheng. The legendary World Novel Festival is the legendary World Novel Festival.
"Novel Competition?" Mott and his wife were not very interested. What's the good thing about novel competitions? There are various novel competitions in Europe and the United States that can't be seen even if they want to. The two even thought in their hearts, no wonder they heard that the development of literature lags behind. A novel competition can be so happy.
"No. We have to go somewhere else tomorrow." Mott said politely.
"Aren't the two readers of Su Da?" said the taxi driver. "The event tomorrow is held by Su Da."
"Su" Su Shichen should be in the United States now, but he is still very interested in the sensation held by Su Shichen. See if there is any difference.
"Thank you, Mr. Driver." This place called Su Moulin is indeed interesting. After the two of them walked in, they saw that it was not just one statue of Su Shichen, but four completely located in four directions of the stone stele, southeast, west and northwest. The four statues were Su Shichen, but they were different.
How many are proud and independent? Some are meditating...
"This carving is pretty good." Mott walked in and took a closer look. It was really good.
He touched it with his hands, frowning and staring like a pair of bull's eyes. He was very excited and incredible to find a secret of the statue.
"What's wrong with you, my dear?" Mott's wife asked.
"Baby, I have a great discovery." Mott's excited look is probably as if Columbus felt when he discovered the New World.
"What a great discovery?" Mott's wife was confused. She frowned and looked at the statue to see the great discovery.
"Baby, look at the statue carefully. It has the name engraved on it. The front is in Chinese and the back is in English."
The carved things on this statue are really unaware without looking carefully. When you touch them with your hands, you can clearly feel the concave and convexity. They are densely packed, and Mot also found that the English on the back is the translation of the Chinese on the front.
"Dear Mott, what's so strange about this? There are many statues and pedestals on it. Su's statue does not have a pedestal, so it's just that the things on the pedestal are carved on the statue itself." This is also understandable by Mott's wife.
"No, baby is not like this. There are four novels engraved on it!"
Mott's wife looked carefully and got to know her patiently. It was really just like Mott said. It was really a novel. Is it a mess with the novel on the statue?!
Mott and his wife looked at me, and I saw that you were obviously confused.
These four novels are really carved on the four statues of Su Shichen, east, west, south and north, and are also novels that Su Shichen has not published so far.
This means that Su Shichen and the Secretary of the Yangcheng Municipal Committee had an agreement and needed help in promoting the entire cultural capital of Yangcheng.
Then Su Shichen wrote down ten works and did not publish them directly, but hid them in the Yangcheng City. For example, "War and Peace" was hidden by Su Shichen in a fountain. Only when the fountain started to spray at night would the light appear under a series of refractions, and this statue is four of them.
The novel on the statue in the south is called "The Black Slave Sou Tianlu".
The novel on the statue in the north is called "Hundred Years of Solitude".
The novel on the statue on the east side is called "Pride and Prejudice".
The novel on the statue in the west is called "Wuthering Heights".
The Mott and his wife spent a lot of time copying a paragraph of "Wuthering Heights" and then posted it in newspapers after their honeymoon, which caused a violent sensation.
Its artistic and storyliness are simply phenomenal works.
Mott is considered to be the author of "Wuthering Heights", but after explaining everything clearly, the ten novels hidden in Yangcheng broke out.
All of the ten novels are classics, which caused a vigorous tourism storm. Many foreigners flocked to Yangcheng, and some even offered tens of millions to buy this statue from Yangcheng. Of course, these are almost later...
Mot and his wife stayed in Yangcheng for a night. Yangcheng and the two of them thought they should be called Adolf. Su Cheng was more appropriate. Su Shichen could be seen everywhere. For example, the advertisement for the trailer of the "Precious Series" will appear on the advertising screen of the pedestrian street. There are also the posters of Su Shichen almost outside the store. This is not the most excessive. The most excessive is that Su Shichen also has Su Shichen on some buses. This is how you feel the strong atmosphere of Su Shichen.
The next day, we arrived at the venue of the first Yangcheng Novel Festival according to time, and then... (To be continued...)
