"I really can't believe that when will the editors of "Niyo Times" be so crazy about the affairs they like, that I can't help but have the illusion that these guys are completely flattering others. Indeed, I want to admit that "The Collapse of the Empire" is a good work, but that's all right? Before this work was released, there were no better literary works abroad, which are qualified to win the Pulitzer Prize? Obviously not. Many works are not worse than "The Collapse of the Empire", whether they are beautiful in reading or the literary and social significance they have, but why do some people turn a blind eye to other excellent works? But after seeing this novel, they are like some kind of animals with chicken blood? It's really hard to understand..."

McKelly's sarcastic expression on her current affairs column has always been a selling point of the "Niyo Times". As a celebrity in the public opinion position, this female writer and critic has a large number of fans in Citigroup. Many girls in high schools and colleges specially ordered the "Niyo Times" just to read the female author's column.

So this time, when McCalley took "The Collapse of the Empire" as her commentary object, the indirect impact was that in the large cities covered by the "Niyo Times" and areas along the West Coastline, the sales of "The Collapse of the Empire" increased instead of falling, which overall increased the sales of the novel in the United States in the second week.

Of course, just McCalley talks to herself, that will not be enough to drive the sales of a literary work. This female critic's opponent. Danier, the editor of the Sunday edition of the Niuyo Times, expressed a clear opposition: "We are cute and respectable Ms. McCalley. Obviously, she is using a sophistry to try to prove that she is a paradoxical view - because there is nomination before, which is similar to the writing situation of "The Collapse of the Empire". Therefore, "The Collapse of the Empire" should not be nominated. After summarizing the above views from Ms. McCalley's remarks, I can only be reserved for her biased opinions. Do you think we have missed many wonderful things and made many unfair selections, so in the future, this injustice should continue?"

"And I really want to find some works similar to "The Collapse of the Empire", such as writing by a foreign author. The content of the work involves a typical Citigroup theme. This type of work is rare, let alone a good one. If Ms. McKelly has different opinions, then you can give some more specific examples instead of just using illusory "certain", "those", "many", "those", and "more". You should know a lot of readers, but you are not sure what you are saying. "certain", "those", "many", and "other" similar works are. If there are indeed literary works that can be compared with the book "The Collapse of the Empire", I believe many readers will be interested in understanding in depth..."

At the beginning, this verbal battle was just two people who looked at each other and were habitually called out. But later, it even triggered a comprehensive discussion and verbal trick on each other's fronts.

Like the Niuyo Times, the Watsonton Daily, which has similar influence in Citigroup, quickly expressed his opinion: "Many readers are now paying great attention to the topics raised by the Chinese author in Citigroup. However, what we want to say is respecting tradition and feeling the beauty of literature. This is not opposite to each other. The Pulitzer Prize’s regulations on the creative community aim to encourage writers to write more attentively, rather than to discover all good literary works. If this cannot be understood, then I think those who call for the Pulitzer Novel Award in the literary category to "The Collapse of the Empire" should have a good understanding of the original intention of Mr. Joseph Pulitzer to set this award."

The Watson Post, which is in the same city as the Watsonton Daily but has a better influence, expressed its disagreement unexpectedly: "Maybe before we call on the Pulitzer Prize jury of Columbia University to accept public opinion, we should indeed think carefully about the original intention of Mr. Joseph's award, and especially one of the provisions - among the many awards in the literary category, why is the only historical award an exception to the author who is not a Citigroup identity? And was it a bit too narrow when setting this provision at the beginning? If a foreign author, who is not the history of Citigroup, but the current society of Citigroup, should we open a glimpse for him?"

At the end of this editorial, the writer used a very strong question as a summary of the entire article - is the history of our Citigroup not composed of "the present" "then" but can be separated from the "present" of the "past" and exist independently on a timeline? Forgetting history is equivalent to betrayal, but ignoring the "present" and "present", what does it mean? Can anyone tell me?

This rhetorical question undoubtedly has the power to make people nod and agree. After the editorial of the Watson Post appeared, the voices of opposing the camp became much smaller for a while.

However, there is a strong debate among the media and readers. However, the Pulitzer Prize selection agency, the Pulitzer Prize jury meeting of Columbia University, and the bonus fund management agency have never stood up to respond to the public's appeal. This made the people who were very proud that their country could have such a literary award with sufficient credibility began to feel dissatisfied. With the help of Random House, many readers even began to write letters to Columbia University, strongly demanding that "The Collapse of the Empire" be included in the Pulitzer Prize for Literature this year.

After knowing this situation, not to mention the people related to Citigroup, people related to boys in China were also dumbfounded. Ji Tangdan's reaction was the most calm. Although he had the kind of teacher and felt honored after his disciples were outstanding, the old man still had a strange expression on his face: "Are you a foreigner reincarnated? How did you write a work? Either you won the Booker Prize or were called to nominate the Pulitzer Prize? That's what the foreigners like? I went to attend the annual meeting of the Magic City Writers Association last week, right? Did Lao Zhao reveal to you the Mao Dun Prize next year? Do you have any hope?"

The old man does not care about fame and fortune anymore, but he is very concerned about whether his students can become successful. He now speaks the most authoritative literary award in China, which also reflects his confidence in boys.

However, Yang Yi himself had no idea about the Mao Dun Award: "Old man, let it go, you haven't heard of it. Now, from judges to works, the Mao Dun Award is always high and far away from the masses. What do those colleagues who are engaged in publishing say? "The judges can't read them completely, and readers won't read them all. It's not interesting to win such a literary award."

The old man naturally gave serious criticism of this statement from a boy. It was not until the reborn man admitted his mistake honestly that he reluctantly let his student go.

When the same opinion fell to Rogo, the fat man wanted to agree with it: "What is Mao Dun Prize? Is it helpful to increase sales? Yes, let me take a step back and say, can it help our cultural career in China? It's just a formalism thing. The cultural bureaucrats of the Writers Association are most enjoyable. Not to mention this, Xiaoyi, do you think your book "The Collapse of the Empire" has any hope to participate in the Pulitzer Prize selection?"

The boy ignored the mentality of Fatty Luo, the emperor was not anxious, and the eunuch was anxious, because he was considering Random Bookstore's proposal - to visit Citigroup again and cooperate with Random Bookstore to carry out comprehensive author publicity, so that the majority of Citigroup readers can get close to him and learn about him.

But after some consideration, Yang Yi politely declined Random Bookstore's suggestion, because it was still 2000, and the 9/11 incident that shocked the world in the previous life had not yet happened. Generally speaking, Citigroup's national strategy towards China was mainly about containment and hostility. The last time he promoted "Twilight" was because the propaganda targets were mainly students and did not have too clear political tendencies. However, after facing the public readers, he may encounter more accidents, and that kind of unpleasant surprises.

The boy was not sure. If he encountered any remarks that discriminated against China, he would not directly refute them in public, and even had a verbal conflict with ordinary people who did not know the truth in Citigroup. If that were the case, the propaganda would have a counterproductive effect.

After learning about his concerns, Fatty Luo looked dissatisfied and listed very vulgarly with a very powerful evidence, trying to prove that boys can go to Citigroup to publicize: "I'm afraid of it, you don't read it. How much popularity has this book brought to you! Go to the External Affairs Office of the Ministry of Administration to read it, it's all about foreign girls' letters. You said that the Americans are so open, and you are not afraid that you are a cripple, so you dare to tempt it in the letter. I love it, it's simply annoying!"
