Three generations, four families, more than a hundred specific characters, from different classes, all have different situations, they have different origins, but they are experiencing the changes of the times, feeling the pulse of the times, and in the rolling
In the torrent of history, it has become pale and insignificant.
Those past triumphs or frustrations have become inconspicuous particles of dust, eventually forming a grand and magnificent world.
This is the core idea of Lin Xi's entire story.
The greatest things are often recorded in the most ordinary events.
And when all the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys filtered out from the common people are filled into this story.
It is not difficult to give people the illusion that... are you spying on me? How do you know my experience? Of course, there will also be some places that are slightly higher than reality, which are attractive and fascinating points.
.
Just like frustrated people always love to listen to love songs, so most of the love songs are sad songs.
The classic love song sings into people's hearts with every word. It makes people forget that their past emotions did not reach such a point where the world and the earth share the same sorrow.
It took three months and more than three million words to be written. In this era, it can be called a masterpiece.
Before the release, Lin Xi did enough publicity.
As long as the money is available and official forces are available to help promote it, this book has attracted the attention of many bibliophiles before it has even been released.
In this era, Xia Kingdom has become popular.
However, most biographies are not too long. The longest one so far is "Weige's Travels", which has more than 1.37 million words in total and records Weige's journey from the East China Sea to the Western world.
Go and see and experience along the way.
It is also the enlightenment book for many Xia people to understand the Western world.
However, with the gradual liberation of productivity, the prices of paper and ink have also fallen again and again.
This also means that it is only a matter of time before a longer novel comes out.
Lin Xi... was just the first to stand up.
To steal the limelight.
Regardless of the cultural, artistic, and social value of this book, at least... as the first one to exceed 3 million words, and using a lot of vernacular and slang throughout the book, and even mixed with some short Western words, this
It will definitely cause a huge sensation.
In June of the twelfth year since its founding, this book titled "The World in the Haze" began to be sold focusing on the Maritime Province.
At the beginning of its release, it caused a large-scale rush to buy.
Then it gradually spread and caused a sensation throughout the Xia Kingdom. Some Westerners even took the initiative to translate it into Chinese languages and spread it back to their homeland.
It is convenient for their people to understand the Xia Kingdom more truly and concretely.
It is no longer just a simple fantasy. The Xia Kingdom on the other side of the ocean is full of gold and opportunities.
It's just that some things just don't go as planned.
Different people read the same book, but they see different worlds.
Those who are shallow will be shallow, and those who are profound will be profound.
These translators obviously did not know that when this book was returned to China, it would trigger a new round of smuggling craze.
More people left their homes and wanted to go to the rich land of Xia Kingdom to find their own value in life.
Domestically, this book initially received a bit of a cold reception in the core areas of the Xia Kingdom.
After all, the straightforwardness and "shallowness" of the writing style really made many old masters unhappy.
Those well-educated Confucian scholars devalued this book as worthless.
The writing technique of Lin Xi's book is so advanced that it is completely different from today's mainstream values and writing style.
Take Xia Houyu, for example, who wrote books and often described the beginning and end of an entire event in several passages.
Often it actually just explains the characters, events, time, climate or living environment, etc.
There is no more detailed exploration of the character's heart, nor is there a complete and sufficient expression of emotions, which makes it look dry and devoid of nutrition.
However, good things are good things.
It cannot be suppressed by a few slanders and slander.
Especially... people in this era, although they are experiencing the rapid progress of the times, still remain relatively simple in their hearts, not so impetuous, and not so anxious.
Even though I heard some criticism.
But I still chose to read this book for myself.
Instead of just hearing it from other people's mouths, then directly rejecting it without even looking at it, or even stepping on it.
And then...a single spark can start a prairie fire.
At first many people thought they were alone.
Amidst all the scolding, it seemed that I was the only one who realized the beauty of this book.
But slowly, everyone discovered that there were many, many similar people around them.
They all like...even love this book.
They secretly formed a society and formed a group of colleagues, and a considerable number of influential nobles and literati began to reverse the case of this book and clear its name.
Even amid the unanimous opposition, these voices still seemed insignificant.
But it is very tenacious and continues to grow.
"The wind blew open the window and stirred Cuilian's romantic thoughts. She stood in front of the window and looked at the young man running fast on the cinder-covered street. The blush flowing on her cheeks was so beautiful.
The sunset on the horizon..." A young man in rich clothes, holding a book tightly in his hand, recited unconsciously, he was deeply immersed in the world depicted in the story.
That seaside city, that port that connects the world, that shy girl, and that running boy.
He has never seen Cuilian.
But he has already simulated a very vivid image of Cuilian in his mind.
She should have two long whips, a round face, bold yet shy.
She is the daughter of a down-and-out nobleman from the West and an ordinary peasant woman from the Xia Kingdom in the East. She has an embarrassing identity.
Her skin should be the same as his father's, too pale, with some small freckles on her face that are not very conspicuous.
However, she has the dark eyes and hair given to her by her mother, which makes her look not out of place in the crowd.
"Wang Ergou is really lucky. There is such a beautiful woman who falls in love with him. Unfortunately...he only thinks about going to sea to make a fortune, and completely fails the beautiful woman's wishes." The young man in Chinese clothes is quite a bit worried.
He was indignant and felt sorry for the young man's dullness and slowness, and the faint tragic tone between the lines gave him a bad premonition.
"Wang Ergou married the daughter of a great Western nobleman, and then became a governor in the Western world. He forged himself the identity of a Xia royal family, and then he lived like a fish in water in the Western country of Ali."
"He forgot his promise to Cuilian, which is also the main culprit that caused Cuilian's tragic life." A nasty voice sounded, completely disrupting the beautiful reverie in the young man's mind.
The young man in rich clothes put the book away and stood up directly.
"Which bastard dares to give me spoilers in advance?" The young man in Chinese clothes raised his head angrily and looked in the direction of the voice.
