Oklahoma is located in the south-central part of the United States. The state's industries are mainly minerals and agriculture, and its per capita GDP is not low. However, due to industrial reasons, its presence in the United States is far less strong than that of New York, California and other places.

There is no direct flight from Xiangjiang to Oklahoma, so Lin Chaoyang had to choose to transfer in Los Angeles before finally arriving in Oklahoma.

The more than 30 hours of traveling and driving along the way was a big test for both physical and mental strength.

After finally arriving in Oklahoma City, the capital, Lin Chaoyang pushed his luggage out of the passageway and saw two middle-aged men holding a sign with the words "Lin Chaoyang" written in crooked Chinese characters.

Lin Chaoyang walked up to greet the two of them, and after getting to know each other, he found out that the brown-haired man among the two was Luann Walter, who was in charge of editing his works at Random House.

This time Lin Chaoyang came to the United States to receive the award, and Luan Walter made a special trip to Oklahoma City one day early.

Random House attaches great importance to Lin Chaoyang's acceptance of the award and has arranged several activities for him.

The other of the two is Davis Ontiano, the current editor-in-chief of "World Literature Today" sponsored by the University of Oklahoma and the director of the Neustat International Literary Prize Organizing Committee.

Luan Walter and Davis Ondiano exchanged a few words with Lin Chaoyang and expressed a warm welcome to his arrival, and then they left the airport.

The University of Oklahoma is located in Norman, at the southern end of Oklahoma City, 267 miles from the airport, along the way to Davis.

Ondiano was driving.

Mainly Luan Walter was chatting with Lin Chaoyang. Although it was the first time for the two to meet, they had already talked on the phone no less than ten times, and they didn't feel unfamiliar at all when they chatted.

Louanne Walter first opened the topic by talking about the sales of "The Death of Van Gogh" in the United States.

This novel was published in the United States in March of last year and was on the New York Times bestseller list in May. It stayed on the list for 83 weeks and was not removed from the list until January this year. The cumulative sales have exceeded 850,000 copies.

As a pure literary work of fiction created by a foreign writer, it is extremely exaggerated and extremely rare to achieve such an achievement.
