In the evening, book friends who had already read "The Martian Rescue" gathered together to talk about this book.

It can be seen that everyone is very satisfied with this book, and they all have excited expressions.

In fact, YU has never disappointed book fans.

Even though I published a "Soon West", which was not as popular as other works, it was loved by many people. Some book fans who didn't like it didn't think the book was bad, but they just didn't understand it and felt that they were not worthy of the book.

"This is YU's happiest book. I was depressed when I read "To the West" and "Deep Space" before. Fortunately, this book came out to reconcile it for me." A book friend named Carragher said with a smile.

"It's indeed cheerful, and it's not just cheerful. This is still a very hard-core science fiction novel. I saw a letter of thanks in front of the book, which should have been supported by technical support from these institutions."

"Yes, although it looks cheerful, some very hard-core scientific knowledge was written unconsciously. If I had read this book in middle school, my physics knowledge would not be so bad."

"There are also chemistry and biology." Liu Yukun smiled, "This is what makes YU powerful. It is obviously the protagonist's log, but it is often rumored and it is very interesting to read."

"Yes, the funny points are really dense, but I can't understand some of them, and I don't know if they are cultural differences." A book friend asked in confusion, "Although these funny points that I don't understand do not prevent it from being an interesting novel, I still want to know why YU wrote this."

Everyone looked at Vice President Liu Yukun.

Here, Liu Yukun knows Chinese culture best.

Many of them also discovered this novel when reading it. Some of them were obviously funny, but they didn't feel funny.

There are not many such situations. If it is digital, then about one of the ten laughs is like this.

Liu Yukun said with a smile, "This is not just caused by cultural differences. In fact, there are some funny points in it, even if Chinese people see it, they may not be able to understand it."

"Why?" Carrager looked puzzled, "Who are these funny points prepared for?"

"It is for some readers who understand the Chinese literary circle - or YU's circle of friends."

As he said that, Liu Yukun took out a notebook and said, "Let me explain some of the more critical points to you, such as the name of the protagonist."

"Is the protagonist's name a little bit?"

"Of course, you will know after listening to my explanation."

Liu Yukun wrote the pinyin of the three words "Bi Donghua" in his notebook and continued, "You are all old readers of YU, and you should have some understanding of the structure of Chinese names. The name Bi Donghua is actually three independent Chinese characters, and each character represents a person."

"Bi represents Bi Feiyu, the author of "The Finger of Panic"... Some of you may not know about this book, but I can tell you that this book and YU's "To the West" are in the same series."

"I know, I know." Carragher raised his hand, "I have read all this series of books. This "Pussy Finger" is full of short stories, which are very interesting."

Liu Yukun nodded and asked, "Then do you know what other books there are in this series?"

"There are also YU's "To the West" and another writer's "Living".

"Yes, the second word of the name Bi Donghua represents YU, because the Chinese name of YU contains the word Dong. The third word represents the author of "Living", and his name is Yu Hua."

"It turns out that a name has such a particular point."

Liu Yukun smiled and said, "This is not over yet. We just talked about the author of "Living", named Yu Hua, who was also mentioned in the book."

"Has I been mentioned? Why don't I know?" A book friend said strangely.

"It is not mentioned directly. There is a poem in the book that the protagonist wrote, and there is a sentence in it, "Living, only by relying on death can people understand it. It is about the book "Living". Although the title of this book is called Living, it is full of death."

"Yes, this book is very miserable and absurd, but after reading it, I think the title of the book is very suitable for living..."

Liu Yukun waved his hand, "Carragher, don't talk too much. If you are interested, you can go and read it yourself. The novel is very good. Of course, there are many such plots in "Marl Rescue", such as..."

In fact, Liu Yukun didn't know all the literary memes in "The Martian Rescue", but he was more than enough to explain to the book friends here.

Book friends are also willing to listen to him, and the more they listen, the more interesting the book is.

There are already many funny points that can be understood, but I didn’t expect that there are so many funny points that they can still explore this book.

After hearing the literary memes, many book friends couldn't help but become interested in the two writers Yu Hua and Bi Feiyu and their works.

It is not only love the house and the U.S., but also wants to better understand the book "Marl Rescue".

People are good at teaching. When these book friends know these literary memes from Liu Yukun, they naturally couldn't help but tell others.

In fact, they don’t need to spontaneously promote this matter, because the deep space company has already prepared a publicity plan in advance. Soon, book friends all learned about the literary memes hidden in "Marl Rescue".

In the bookstore, the Chinese literature series suddenly became easier to sell.

...

The New Year’s Eve dinner for the garden this year was contracted by the Cheng family.

It’s the first time I celebrated the New Year together, and who will make the New Year’s Eve dinner becomes a question.

The parents of both sides discussed for two days but did not find a result. Later, the old man Cheng Minde proposed a plan, mahjong determines the winner and lose.

Finally, after three hours of fierce battle, Yu Dong's parents-in-law won the victory with a slight advantage and won the contracting rights for this year's New Year's Eve dinner.

However, the old couple of the Yu family were not idle either, so they ran to fight.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Chen Hong and Fu Jing also wanted to go to the kitchen to help, but they were all driven out. In the end, a few female relatives took their children to chat, while Yu Dong and the others ran to chat with the old man.

Cheng Minde likes writers, and of course he admires Yu Hua and the others very much. He is quite happy to know that they are coming to celebrate the New Year.

"Last time you went to Yanjing, it's a pity that I had something to do, otherwise I'd met that time." Cheng Minde dissipated smoke to Yu Hua and the others, and talked about the previous literary exchange meeting.

"I will definitely visit you next time I go there." Bi Feiyu said.

Cheng Minde smiled and said, "Your annual meeting is very popular this time. I heard people say that when I was in Yanjing. I also heard someone mention that the congress will be held next year, so you have a pre-schedule."

"Old man, we haven't even joined the Writers Association, so we can't talk about a congress." Yu Dong said, "and we have gone to many film and television circles, but more people say it's like a film festival."

In fact, Yu Dong and the others knew something about the congress. After all, Wang Meng had called them before, but there has been no news since then, and I don’t know what the situation is.

After all, Cheng Minde is not from the literary circle and doesn't understand these things, so he didn't ask much, so he looked at Yu Dong again, "I heard from some colleagues in the Department of Physics that your science fiction novel has attracted the attention of the scientific community abroad?"

Yu Dong nodded, "It attracted some attention, mainly the gravity of celestial bodies. Deep Space Company also invited Kip Thorne of California Polytechnic to be the company's scientific consultant, which is also a means of publicity."

"This kind of publicity method is also good. If you need any information in the future, you can ask me. There are also a lot of information in our school."

"Okay, grandpa, don't think I'm in trouble then."

Cheng Minde smiled and said, "Even if I think you are troublesome, my colleagues from other departments will not think you are troublesome. I have heard of this Kip Thorne, and he is also my junior brother. He has also been in Princeton and is very famous in gravitational physics."

"When it comes to Princeton, we have a lot of connections. After the Chinese Literature Series was published in the United States, it was favored by Joyce Oates and was included in the required reading list recommended by the school." Bi Feiyu said with a smile.

Cheng Minde raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "I don't know about this. So, this set of Chinese literature series is quite popular in the United States?"

"The sales are not bad." Yu Dong said modestly.

"It's so good." The old man sighed. "If I had encountered such a thing when I was studying in Princeton, I would probably be very happy... but I might have missed it. At that time, I was full of learning advanced knowledge and probably wouldn't have time to pay attention to these things. I only stayed in Princeton for more than two years, and I really didn't have enough time."

When Cheng Minde talked about the past, Yu Dong and the other two were full of respect.

When Hua Luogeng resolutely returned to China and wrote the well-known "Open Letter to All Chinese Students in the United States". In the letter, he wrote, "Although Liang Yuan is good, he is not a hometown for a long time, so he returns home." "Science has no borders, scientists have their own motherland."

At that time, Cheng Minde had just given up his job at Princeton and returned to China.

It can be said that China's mathematics today is inseparable from the efforts and efforts of people like Hua Luogeng and Cheng Minde.

"The people of the country will remember Mr. Cheng's efforts." Bi Feiyu said sincerely, "Compared with you, we are like tiny dust, not worth mentioning."

Cheng Minde smiled and waved his hand, "Don't underestimate ourselves, we are just working on different directions. Just like this pot of tea--"

The old man pointed to the teapot in front of him, "If you want to make a pot of good tea, first of all, you need a teapot, and then you need hot water and tea leaves, and it doesn't work if you lack it."

Yu Hua asked with a smile, "Mr. Cheng thinks that literature should be tea or hot water?"

"I think a series of cultural construction such as literature should be teapots. If a country has problems with spiritual civilization, it is like a teapot with a hole. No matter how well the tea is soaked, it will slowly leak out. If people's thoughts have problems, no matter how good the economic construction is, it will eventually be short-lived... I have confidence in China in this regard. China has been through so many years of ups and downs, and it is just a matter of time."

Then, Cheng Minde looked at Yu Dong meaningfully: "Of course, sometimes, the function of a teapot is not just as simple as serving tea. If it has a beautiful appearance, it may attract others and make people more interested in the tea inside."

The old man said it in a concealed manner, and Yu Dong did not answer directly, but said with a smile, "This teapot was something Yan Qiu liked before, and I thought it was very good, so I bought it back. By the way..."

He turned to look at Yu Hua and the others again, "I am going to go to the United States after the New Year. Do you want to go together? The Chinese Literature Series sells well, and it just happens to get you a signing party."

Yu Hua shrugged, "I can do it."

"I have to ask Principal Wu. I don't know if I'm busy after the New Year," said Bi Feiyu.

Yu Dong smiled and said, "This time I will bring the director major and the drama creation students. You can lead the team to go with you, so you can save you from taking other leave."

"You have already figured it out. Do I have any reason not to go?"

Mr. Cheng nodded and said, "It's great. You can go out for more while you are young, not only to learn from foreign experiences, but also to promote the country. By the way, take Xiaohu with you this time. This child has potential, so it's a good thing to take out for more trips."

"Okay, I'll ask him back." Yu Dong replied.

"By the way, Xiaohu people, I haven't seen anyone since I got here." Bi Feiyu asked.

Yu Dong smiled and said, "I'm writing something in Wangqiu Pavilion behind me. I've been inspired these two days. I'm afraid I can't grasp it, so I'm in a hurry to write it out."

"Yeah, this kid has worked too hard." Yu Hua shook his head and said.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Yu Dong glanced at Yu Hua, "Compared with you, I really worked very hard."

Yu Hua rolled his eyes and took out a cigarette box to disperse the smoke for the old man and Bi Feiyu, "Look at what you said, my efforts are invisible to you, all in your head."

...

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Yu Dong finally saw Yu Hua’s efforts - playing cards.

Several families gathered in the living room and saved up a table of mahjong and eggs, playing cards and watching the Spring Festival Gala.

However, before the Spring Festival Gala ended, Yu Hua couldn't bear the sleepiness and went to bed.
