Chapter 886 The United States is too far, I just want to study, I don't want to go

Actually, it’s not too much. You should know that the attached letter said that some small prizes were not sent. These are some famous awards in the United States. Even if you choose more than ten letters, plus some three science fiction awards and several well-known awards.

So much so that Wang Lizhi was quite surprised when he saw this.

“There are a bit too many awards.”

Li Dong said lightly. "But better ones are small prizes, so they are nothing. Teacher Wang, please report it."

"Small prize?" Wang Lizhi looked at the stack of all in English. Not to mention the prizes being small, he couldn't even recognize the words.

"Yes, the awards that the magazine itself has made are a bit famous in the United States." Li Dong picked out a stack of them casually. "These are all awards selected by magazines, except for the prizes that are hundreds or thousands of dollars, so their reputation is not too great."

Wang Lizhi and Teacher Zhou and Teacher Zhang looked at Li Dong together. The prize money was hundreds or thousands of dollars, and they were only famous in the United States. I don’t know how to accept this. If you have thousands of dollars, this guy can buy a house in Nanjing.

There are about ten bicycles, and this is nothing. The United States has some fame, so it is already considered a magazine like People's Literature. There are about ten such awards, which are tens of thousands of dollars. This is simply scary.

But Li Dong didn't take it seriously, and this made the few people not know what to say.

"This is already very good."

Wang Lizhi swallowed. If someone else won such a prize, I would be very happy, but Li Dong was too casual.

"Yes, Li Dong, this is the award selected by the United States."

With the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, Mr. Deng visited the United States, and some information from the United States was introduced to the country, and mobilized the country, everyone had cars, everyone lived in foreign buildings, and every family had TVs. Now many people in China are thinking about going to the United States to take a look.

Of course, for most people, the United States is still a distant country or even no impression, but for some teachers from Nanjing University, everyone still understands some of the situation in the United States. You should know that since last year, after the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, the country began to select some overseas students to go to Europe and the United States, and a large number of them went to the United States.

These people are not students, most of them are young and senior intellectuals like teachers and professionals from major universities.

As for students, they have to wait a few years, but now they don’t have the chance to go to the United States.

Many of the young teachers such as Wang Lizhi had ideas about studying in the United States, but now there are not many people who are selected, so there is little chance of them. But they didn’t expect that even Li Dong, a student, could not even go to the United States to win awards.

There are still so many, of course there are some titles, but for Wang Lizhi and the others, they don’t know how big the difference between nomination and awards, they just know that Li Dong is amazing. This is not the case with Li Dong saying that it is a small prize, but only a few people say that it is very good.

It's a big deal, Li Dong was so funny. "Teacher Wang, there are actually several nominations for grand prizes, but the chance of winning is smaller after all."

“Grand Prize?”

"Yes, the three major awards for science fiction, Hugo, Nebula, etc."

Li Dong said.

"Are all three major science fiction awards nominated?"

Li Dong nodded, and Wang Lizhi asked, these awards are equivalent to domestic awards, but now Li Dong doesn’t know what to say. It is now 1980, and the Contradiction Literature Award has not yet been released, so Li Dong can only say with a tough look. "The three best awards for science fiction novels are recognized by the whole world."

"ah?"

"Good boy."

Wang Lizhi suddenly stood up, recognized by the whole world, and was nominated for three major awards. Although he has not won the award yet, this is also a great honor. "Let's go, I'll take you to find the director."

"Teacher Wang, there is no need to bother the director."

"This is a big deal."

Such awards for People's Literature are enough to alarm the director or even the principal. Not to mention such a grand prize recognized by the whole world, Wang Lizhi really did not expect that Li Dong would write such a powerful novel and win such great honor in the United States.

After hearing this, Zhong Chongxin was shocked and looked at Li Dong. "Okay, okay, okay."

After all, Principal Kuang came over after receiving the call. Li Dong couldn't even attend classes. After a good introduction, he not only nominated for the three largest awards in science fiction novels, but also won some small awards.

Finally, Li Dong got out of class, and as for what to do afterwards, Li Dong didn't care.

When I returned to the class, I was lucky that it was Mr. Xiao Geng in class. I knew Li Dong, so I didn’t make things difficult for him.

When get out of class was over, Ganlu asked, and Li Dong smiled bitterly. "It's nothing."

"oh."

After school, Li Dong was going to have dinner with Lai Yifang, but the good guy was blocked. "Student Li Dong, Principal Kuang has something to do to ask you to come over."

"All right."

"I'm sorry for you."

The notebook was handed over to Lai's first floor, and Li Dong had to go to the principal's office again. Principal Kuang and Director Zhong asked friends to inquire about these awards Li Dong mentioned. If you don't know, few people in Asia have won these awards.

Li Dong broke the record. These awards are extremely famous in Europe and the United States, and the most important science fiction award. No one in China has won the title yet, let alone won the award.

"Good boy."

This is simply a world-renowned thing. If he really won the award, Nanda Ke would show his face, and other universities would be envious. President Kuang, Director Zhong and others praised Li Dong very much when they saw Li Dong. Li Dong was embarrassed to be praised.

"I heard that the United States invited you?"

"That's the case."

Li Dong said. "It's just that the United States is too far away, I plan to shirk it."

This is true. Li Dong is afraid that when he appears, he will be given this prize. After all, it is a bit difficult for him to win such a big prize, so he might as well not go.

Principal Kuang and Director Zhong looked at each other and wanted Li Dong to go there and get a big prize back.

"You think about it again, there is still time, so there is no hurry to do so."

Zhong Chongxin said.

Li Dong nodded, had lunch here, and when he returned to the dormitory, he was inevitably asked by Tao Yunfei and others. Li Dong didn't say anything, but said that the People's Literature won the award and would go to Beijing in a few days.

Tao Yunfei, when a few people heard this, they won the award, awesome, no wonder the principal was looking for it.

Before the next day, the school spread, Li Dong's novels and essays won awards, and he will go to Beijing to receive the award in a few days. "The top ten short stories and top ten essays of the People's Literature Year, you are so awesome."

"It's okay."

"Cousin, you are too modest."

Hu Lixin said with envy. "I would be happy for half a year if I could win one of the awards."

Some of them said this, Li Dong smiled. "Actually, this award is no big deal. The bonus is not much, and the round-trip fee may be reimbursed or not."

"Uncle, why do you think about these things? This is honor."

“Yes, yes, honor.”

Li Dong smiled and didn't care much about this. As for the winning of the United States, the grand prize has just been nominated and may have won it. Li Dong felt that he had won the award. Let's talk about it. It's not just nominations, but it's meaningless. I didn't tell the principal. Director Zhong said, "Don't tell the public about winning of the United States."

Otherwise, this matter would have spread faster. Even if the People's Literature Awards still cause a lot of noise, there are many young people in literature now, and there are even more people in Nanjing University. Li Dong is now famous, and there are few people in Nanjing University who don't know Li Dong.

The opening ceremony and the commencement of this award were quite a bit of a big deal, and Li Dong has now become a star in Nanda. After several days, the aftermath of this matter calmed down. Li Dong breathed a sigh of relief. It was very uncomfortable to be watched as a panda every day.

"Uncle Cousin, will you have something to do tomorrow?"

"The store will be cleaned tomorrow, and I plan to open it before going to Beijing."

Li Dong asked Hu Lixin to come into the house and sit down. "You are here now, why didn't you call the seniors and the others together?"

"This place is not far from the school. Besides, I really run away quickly when I meet bad people."

Hu Lixin didn't take it seriously. Li Dongxin said, but he still felt that it was not good for a girl to run around like this. "I'll give you something."

"What is this?"

"Electric baton."

Li Dong taught Hu Lixin to use it.

"Can you really knock someone out after hitting me?"

"Of course."

Li Dong is a good thing in his later generations. Not to mention humans, a cow will shake a few times.

"Be careful, don't hit yourself."

Li Dong brought a lot of this thing for self-defense, including Xiaojuan and Susu at home, and Huang Shengnan and a few others.

"Thank you cousin."

"Well, why are you polite to me?"

Li Dong smiled and said, "I'll take you back."

"Well, I'll help my cousin clean up the store tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll treat you to hot pot at noon."

I saw Hu Lixin away and Li Dong wandered around. Now I have no nightlife at all. I went home to take a shower.

"Ding bell."

It was Huang Shengnan who called him. Li Dong chatted for a while. Huang Shengnan was already in Shanghai and the store was opened. "Do you want to come and have a look?"

"Shanghai, I haven't had time to go there lately."

Li Dong talked to Huang Shengnan about going to Beijing to attend the conference and receiving the award. But Huang Shengnan said a little regretfully that she might not have time at that time, but Li Dong did not expect something unexpected the next day.

"Uncle Second, why is it so serious?"

Feng Duan was really hit this time. A young man riding a bicycle hit Feng Duan and fell over. What a guy, his leg broke.

"It's okay, just raise it."

Feng Duan smiled bitterly. This time he was really unlucky. "I can't go to Beijing anymore. I have called Minister Jiang and take the information when you go."

Li Dong could only nod, because this matter was a mess, and Minister Jiang probably didn't expect such an accident to happen.

"Uncle Second, I know, you have a good rest."

What else can Li Dong say when he smiled bitterly? When he encountered such an accident, "Then I will go back first."

"Wait."

Feng Duan took the notebook and wrote an address, tore it off and handed it to Li Dong. "This is my elder brother's house. You can bring me some things there at that time."

"OK."

Li Dong didn't know that Feng Duan was worried that Li Dong was not familiar with the place. He was a professor at Tsinghua University, or was there some connections that could take care of Li Dong.
