The other foreign guests all around nodded in agreement at the same time: "It's really rare."
Seeing this scene, Ding Peng immediately understood that it was because of his book "The Old Man and the Sea".
This is a classic, without a doubt.
It has won the Pulitzer Prize in the United States, and the next year, won the Nobel Prize for Literature, which shows its excellence.
At this time, with the publication of this book, the entire European and American literary world was completely shaken. Almost all mainstream media were looking for the author of this book and wanted to do a professional interview.
However, when they learned about it, they were surprised to find that the author of this book was not a European or American, but a Chinese writer far away in the East, Ding Peng.
In an instant, the entire European and American literary world, and even the European and American world, was completely boiling.
In this era, whether in China or Europe and the United States, the status of literati is very high, and an excellent literary work has received an amazing amount of attention from people from all walks of life.
When they heard that such an excellent literary work came from an oriental person, the shock in the hearts of these Europeans and Americans can be imagined.
Out of curiosity, major European and American mainstream media have contacted their respective embassies in China, wanting to entrust the ambassador to help introduce this talented writer, and want to do a detailed interview about this mysterious author.
This is the real purpose of these ambassadors.
A bearded foreigner stood up, he enthusiastically came to Ding Peng, and said excitedly: "Mr. Ding, the book you wrote is really good, and now it has swept the entire United States, and even the entire European and American countries. The literary giants are all talking about you, and some mainstream newspapers have published a lot of them. These literary giants are full of praise and praise for your appreciation and comments on your book, The Old Man and the Sea. Like the tide..."
After the introduction of the president, Ding Peng knew that the bearded man was the American ambassador, John.
In the face of these foreigners' praise, Ding Peng behaved neither humble nor arrogant, he smiled slightly, and said very gentlely: "Thank you, Mr. John for your appreciation."
This sentence, he said in very fluent American English.
Ding Peng was an English major before crossing, so he had no trouble communicating in English.
The ambassadors around were pleasantly surprised when they saw that Ding Peng could speak fluent English.
In this way, the communication between them will be much smoother.
John seems to be a fan of Ding Peng's books and likes the book "The Old Man and the Sea" written by Ding Peng very much. where, they were asked one by one.
Ding Peng smiled slightly, knew everything, and gave him a detailed answer.
As a later generation, he has read a lot of famous reviews on "The Old Man and the Sea". At this time, he followed the script and listed them one by one. Hearing these foreigners was stunned for a while, shocked. He was impressed by Ding Peng's profound and colorful views.
Being able to become ambassadors of a country is naturally impossible. On the contrary, they are all learned and literate people.
These people saw that Ding Peng could communicate in foreign languages, and he was eloquent and knowledgeable, and seemed to have a detailed understanding of European and American culture.
They talked about the origin of the world, and talked about the myths of Europe and the United States. Ding Peng is rich in knowledge. He talked about it freely, and the ambassadors who listened to it were amazed.
They did not expect that Ding Peng's understanding of their country's culture was so comprehensive and detailed.
John sighed aside: "Mr. Ding doesn't seem to be very old, but he has studied both China and foreign countries. He not only understands the culture of his own country, but also knows a lot about the cultural history of foreign countries.
The president was also dumbfounded.
Although he has studied abroad and knows foreign languages, he is the first to hear about most of what Ding Peng said about the cultural history of various countries.
"I didn't expect that Ding Junzheng, not only has outstanding knowledge of Chinese literature, but also knows a lot about foreign things. He is really a peerless genius!"
Immediately, Ding Peng's position in the minds of the President has risen a lot again.
His outstanding ability has been looked upon differently by the president.
Looking at Ding Peng, who was chatting with these foreigners, the president only felt that this Ding Peng was really amazing.
You know, on weekdays, these foreign ambassadors have their nostrils turned upside down, and they are very arrogant!
After chatting happily for a while, the ambassadors of various countries were ready to go back. Before leaving, they invited Ding Peng to be interviewed by mainstream media in their respective countries.
Ding Peng will naturally not refuse this kind of thing that can greatly increase his popularity.
And, to be honest, in the Beiyang government, sometimes what foreigners say is more effective than what one's own people say.
After sending off the group of ambassadors, the president praised with a smile: "Ding Junzheng, you are very good. In the future, you should write more books like "The Old Man and the Sea" and publish them in foreign journals. Let these foreigners know that the cultural quality of our people is no worse than them! It is even far better than them, you know?"
Ding Peng nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. President, as long as there is time, my subordinates will write with all their heart."
The President nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "I see all your abilities in my eyes, you can rest assured that as long as you work hard, I will never treat you badly. This time, you will win glory for the country and write For such a good book that is well-known abroad, I want to reward you well, and I will remember you as a first-class merit, and I will promote you to the official position when the assessment is at the end of the year!"
Getting promoted and getting rich has been a favorite thing for men since ancient times. Ding Peng is naturally happy to be promoted.
He repeatedly thanked him and said, "Thank you, President, for the cultivation."
After leaving the presidential palace, Ding Peng was surrounded by foreign reporters who were waiting outside the door, all of whom wanted to interview him.
Seeing these foreigners scrambling for each other, Ding Peng knew that his book "The Old Man and the Sea" was indeed popular abroad!
In the next few days, in addition to taking care of his necessary affairs, Ding Peng was interviewed by foreign reporters.
Ding Peng's answer is meaningful and profound. He is very knowledgeable and knowledgeable about the cultural history of various countries.
Gradually, when these interviews were published in foreign journals, Ding Peng was again highly praised by foreign literati, and some famous scholars even called him the first wise man in the East.
There is no doubt that Ding Peng's reputation abroad is getting bigger and bigger.
As "The Old Man and the Sea" has been loved by more and more Europeans and Americans, and Ding Peng's popularity has increased, gradually, some foreign literary selection agencies have also begun to pay attention to him.
The Nobel Prize in Literature even included The Old Man and the Sea on the shortlist for this year's award.
In other words, Ding Peng's "The Old Man and the Sea" was actually shortlisted for this year's Nobel Prize in Literature and became his candidate work!
