"
Let me tell you, world,
I do not believe!
Even if there are a thousand challengers at your feet,
Then count me as number one thousand and one.
…
"
boom--
Bernard Shaw closed the window and looked at Lu Shi helplessly,
"Oh, again. If you let these students make trouble, I will memorize your "Answer"."
Lu Shi couldn't help but look embarrassed.
I don’t know what the students think, but they keep spreading the "Answer".
Bernard Shaw couldn't help but complain: "Others who read this poem must think that your poem is a propaganda platform of a certain political party."
Lu Shi quickly waved his hand,
"Political parties? Don't! Don't!"
Bernard Shaw laughed, and then looked out the window again,
"Our school is quite good. You don't know that at University College London and King's College, students spontaneously set up clubs to study the song "Reply", and they can't get rid of the teachers who scolded you in the newspapers."
Of course Lu Shi knew,
His roommate Natsume Soseki was a student at University College London.
Natsume Soseki's original words were: "There is even a tendency to develop into a student movement."
Lu Shi scratched his head,
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it..."
The food circle is actually me.
Not long ago, he complained to Natsume Soseki about Sherlock Holmes becoming a fan circle.
As a result, in just a few days, it happened to me.
Bernard Shaw didn't want to say anything more on this matter.
Although the students were a bit naive and impulsive, their actions did have an effect. At least they curbed the scolding war in northwest Europe.
All literary giants cherish their feathers, and they would not dare to go against students.
This is the reason why people who wear shoes are afraid of people who are barefoot.
George Bernard Shaw asked: "By the way, have you thought about the publisher? I think you should make plans early. Unlike "No One Survived", the Royal Publishing House should not participate in the competition."
He was talking about "Guns, Germs, and Steel."
Since the serialization in the Manchester Guardian has come to an end, publishing matters are naturally on the agenda.
Lu Shi lowered his head and pondered, and quickly figured out the reason why the Royal Publishing House did not participate.
The Royal Publishing House has a British government background, and publications are inevitably labeled as "official." Therefore, when private publications involve politics, history, etc., they will become cautious to avoid being regarded as a statement.
On the contrary, "No One Survived" has less restrictions because it is a novel.
Bernard Shaw said: "The questions you asked are very profound."
In the last article of "Guns, Germs and Steel", "The Future of Modern Historiography", Lu Shi listed three questions:
1. Differences between different regions of the Eurasian continent;
2. The role of cultural factors;
3. The role of historical figures and historical events.
As a topic, these three questions are enough to make historical researchers confused.
Moreover, even if it develops into modern times, it is impossible to give complete answers to these three questions, so some people in later generations commented that Lu Shi "supported a group of historical scholars."
Lu Shi said modestly: "It's just that I couldn't figure it out myself, so I brought it up and let everyone work together."
Bernard Shaw expressed disbelief;
"You must have the answer yourself, but you just don't want to..."
Only halfway through his words, there was a sudden noise outside.
Lu Shi was surprised and walked over to open the window.
The quarrel spread into the house,
"Professor Lu..."
"Why don't you let me see Professor Lu!?"
"We want to see Professor Lu!"
…
Lu Shi subconsciously stuck his head out of the window and found that the quarrel was coming from the school gate.
I saw a dozen girls' school students blocking the door, raising their hands and waving the Manchester Guardian. Their faces were full of enthusiasm, and their skin was even slightly red with excitement.
George Bernard Shaw asked: "What's the matter?"
Saying that, he also leaned over.
After he saw the situation outside clearly, he couldn't help but show an intriguing expression.
"Whoever caused the trouble will solve it."
Lu Shi's head was full of black lines,
Looking at the frenzied energy of the group of female students outside, if I go out, I will definitely be eaten alive.
Maybe I will have to be the father of several children tomorrow.
George Bernard Shaw seemed unaware and continued to make sarcastic remarks: "Actually, you and Oscar Wilde are quite similar. At that time, his plays were a hit in London and attracted the admiration of countless ladies and ladies. The only difference between you is that It’s just that you’re not as handsome as him.”
grass!
Lu Shi wanted to curse.
But I have to admit that although Bernard Shaw was making fun of him, he was also sincerely admiring it.
Wilde is buried in Père Lachaise Cemetery,
This cemetery is in Paris, France. Every year, hundreds of thousands of visitors come to pay homage to the world's greatest artists and writers, including Chopin, Moliere, Balzac...
And Oscar Wilde was the strangest of them all.
When those who worship him come to his tomb, they will inevitably perform a "ritual"——
Kiss the tombstone.
Although the staff cleans the tombstones regularly, new lip marks will soon cover the entire tombstone after each wash.
In the end, the cemetery management had no choice but to put up a transparent cover around the tombstone to prohibit visitors from kissing Wilde's tomb.
As a result, the glass cover was covered with lip marks from kisses.
This incident shows how much Wilde is admired.
Lu Shi coughed lightly,
"Mr. Wilde and I are still different."
George Bernard Shaw asked: "How is it different?"
Lu Shi said: "Those who like her are all ladies, and those who like me are progressive young women. You see, although those female students have not gone to college, they are no worse than college students."
Bernard Shaw couldn't help but rolled his eyes, waved and said: "Are you quite proud? Okay, okay, let's not talk about these things. You go out and comfort those girls, don't let them make trouble again, so as not to affect the teaching. "
The most difficult thing about dealing with student issues is that you cannot rely on the police, otherwise it will hinder public opinion.
Lu Shi reluctantly responded, pushed the door open and left.
He carefully moved against the wall and moved near the school gate.
The girls' discussions came,
"This "Answer" is so well written, it makes my heart warm. I just wonder if Professor Lu can write love poems."
"Love poem? Hehehehe...are you feeling spring-like? But it's obviously winter now!"
"If Professor Lu can take a fancy to me, I won't hesitate at all."
"Then I want to fight with you!"
"You can't compete with me!"
…
Lu Shi's brows jumped when he heard this, and he thought that Europeans were indeed open.
Looking at this situation, I definitely can't show up.
He walked back quietly.
At this moment, a light female voice came from behind: "Professor Lu?"
Lu Shixunsheng went out,
"Miss Margarita?"
Margarita pursed her lips and smiled: "Professor Lu, what's wrong with you? Being sneaky is not a gentleman's behavior~"
As she spoke, she winked cutely,
"Could it be...could he be hiding from those girls?"
For some reason, the princess spoke with a hint of sourness.
Lu Shi spread his hands and said, "Those girls don't necessarily like my poems that much. Most of them have a follow-the-wind mentality. They just came here to chase stars because "Answer" became popular among the students."
Margarita was surprised: "Star chasing? I have never heard of this word, but it is very expressive."
Lu Shi shook his head in annoyance and asked, "By the way, you know about this... Do you know how "Answer" became popular?"
Margarita smiled,
"If you write well, you will naturally become popular."
Lu Shi was speechless,
"this……"
The smile on Margarita's face grew wider and she said: "Okay, okay, I'll tell you what I know. It seems that a classmate named Solomon, because he couldn't stand those old academics targeting you, mobilized his classmates Action was taken.”
"Solomon..."
Lu Shi silently wrote down the name.
He nodded his thanks to Margarita and walked quickly towards the office building.
Seeing his back, Margarita sighed deeply,
She wanted to go to the library, but for some reason, after exchanging a few words with Lu Shi, she had no intention of studying at all.
