Chapter 723 Going to the United States (Thanks to the Resurrected Leader 2/3)

"Director! Director! Come and answer the phone! The American embassy is calling, saying that Mr. Sun Shaoping has won an award in the United States!" Ken heard a chair fall and shouts from the other end of the phone.

"What's the situation?" The director of the office of the Federation of Literature and Art was also excited when he heard this, and quickly asked, "Let me be clear, what award did Teacher Sun win?" The director of the office is a veteran of the Federation of Literature and Art. Yes, now he changed his mind as soon as he heard that he had won an award abroad.

"Uh, it seems to be the Fish Pot Award from the World Science Fiction Association?" The young man who answered the phone scratched his head, pointed to the phone and said, "Director, I haven't hung up the phone yet, why don't you ask again?"

The director glared at Xiaonian, and hurried over with both hands holding the phone to his ear, "Hello, I am Chen Kunhe, Director of the Office of the Shaanxi Federation of Literary and Art Circles. Is it Mr. Sun Shaoping from our Federation of Literary and Art Circles who won the award?"

"Yes, Mr. Sun's "Happy Hunting" won the Science Fiction Achievement Award Short Novella Award issued by the World Science Fiction Association, commonly known as the Hugo Award. This award is the highest award in the field of science fiction literature in the world, equivalent to the Nobel Prize in the field of science fiction literature I would like to express my congratulations to the Shaanxi Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles and Mr. Sun Shaoping!" Ken has been in China for so many years, and he speaks official Chinese with style.

"Thank you very much for your notice. Excuse me, who are you?" As soon as he mentioned the Nobel Prize for Literature, he understood. What about identity?

"I'm Ken Lewis, a staff member of the American embassy, ​​and I'm also the translator who translated this novel into English. The World Science Fiction Association couldn't find Mr. Sun's contact information, so I will convey it to Vito." Ken patiently explained.

"Thank you very much for your outstanding contribution to Sino-US cultural exchanges. Teacher Sun mentioned your name to us. Welcome Mr. Louis to Xi'an. We will definitely entertain you warmly." I feel happy that some writers under my banner can go abroad.

"It is my honor to be able to translate Mr. Sun's works. I will definitely go there in the future when I have the opportunity. The World Science Fiction Association invited Mr. Sun to attend the awards ceremony in Los Angeles, USA before August 21. I will mail the invitation letter to Mr. Sun later. Teacher Sun, if you can go, please make preparations..."

"Okay, I think you must be in a hurry to inform Mr. Sun of this good news, so I won't bother you. If you have any questions about this award, I will try my best to answer them." After himself, Ken hung up the phone.

This time it was Chen Kunhe's turn to be excited. He trotted all the way to report to the leader of the Federation of Literature and Art.

Half an hour later, almost all the important figures from the local Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the Writers Association, and the Science and Technology Association poured into Shen Long's yard, all of them flushed with excitement. Chen Kunhe told Shen Long the good news.

As soon as he finished speaking, the leader of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles added, "Shaoping, there are very few people in our country who can win foreign literature awards. I only remember Ding Ling's "The Sun Shines on the Sanggan River" in 1951. Zhou Libo's "The Tempest" won the Stalin Prize for Literature at the same time; and this year, Mr. Ba Jin won the Dante International Prize in Italy."

He took the time to check the information and found these. "Those are awards from a single country. What you won this time is a worldwide award. According to Americans, it is equivalent to the Nobel Prize in science fiction literature! You gave us Shaanxi Writers, Chinese writers have won the honor!"

At this time, everyone stopped talking about the fact that science fiction literature cannot be on the stage.

I have to make this award as awesome as possible, otherwise I won't be able to make this achievement solid.

Of course, Shen Long understood what they meant, and followed the words of the boss to thank them repeatedly, thanking those who were present, those who were not present, and all units and individuals that could be related to this matter, everyone was very satisfied , this kid Shaoping is sensible!

Shen Long also wanted to make a big deal about people carrying people in flowery sedan chairs. The greater the impact of this award, the more helpful it would be to the development of Chinese science fiction literature.

"We have notified the provincial newspaper, provincial TV station, provincial radio station, and Xinhua News Agency reporters, and they will come to interview later, let's help clean up your place first!" The boss gave an order, and Chen Kunhe hurried Take someone to clean up.

When the cleaning was over, the boss drove them away again. They were not qualified to interview, and only a few important people remained on the scene.

"Shaoping, the notice said that the World Science Fiction Association invited you to attend the awards ceremony in Los Angeles, USA. We are very supportive of this matter. I have asked Lao Chen to help you with the formalities. If you need help from your unit, just ask , even if you want foreign exchange, we will find a way to exchange it for you!" The boss is as imposing as a rainbow, and his heart is already extremely happy, looking at the whole country, besides Balao, which province's writers can win awards abroad? This limelight is a big deal.

"Oh, by the way, the notice said that you can still bring an accompanying person to the United States. Think about who you plan to bring, and we can help you with this procedure." Hey, I also want to go to the United States. If there are other activities, It is possible to fight for this spot, but there is no way now, this spot can only be decided by Shen Long.

Shen Long coped with it with ease. Not long after, reporters from the provincial radio station, provincial TV station and Xinhua News Agency all came, and the provincial newspaper was no exception. Tian Xiaoxia was none other than Tian Xiaoxia. The boss is still excited.

"Mr. Sun, tell us about your impressions of winning the award?"

"It is inseparable from this honor..." Shen Long Balabala said a lot of clichés before getting to the point, "This shows that China not only has a long history, but we Chinese also have a vision for the future. The recognition of Chinese literature, Chinese science fiction literature..."

The reporters quickly wrote down these words. If these words can be published in the authoritative media, those who oppose science fiction literature will probably hesitate for a while.

In this interview, apart from thanking a lot of people, Shen Long was all about helping China's science fiction literature platform. The interview didn't end until it was almost time for dinner.

The bosses dragged the reporters to the best nearby restaurant for another meal before letting them go.

On the way to send Xiaoxia back to the provincial newspaper to work overtime, Shen Long asked, "Xiaoxia, I can take someone to America this time, do you want to go with me?" Read the latest chapter of "Literature" for free for the first time.
