Chapter seven hundred and ninety fourth added drama

"I like him, and I believe many people like him, a civil rights leader. The reason why the United States is great is because of such a person, as a junior, coming to commemorate and mourn. It is really important that his reputation and departure reflect the conflicts between the society and culture of the United States. This gentleman will also appear in the movie I am about to shoot." Chen Kangjie did not use worship, but liked.

In fact, Chen Kangjie does like Martin Luther King. He is a brave and passionate person, and a person who firmly believes in his ideals and beliefs. Even if he was assassinated later, Chen Kangjie would not regret his loneliness. He obtained the right to tens of millions of black people and won the Nobel Peace Prize. This is the part he should be proud of. The two of them have some similarities to a certain extent.

"In the United States, he has become a symbol of the spirit. In January 1986, President Ronald Reagan signed a decree that stipulates that the third Monday of January is the National Day of Martin Luther King of the United States to commemorate the great man and set it as a legal holiday. So far, there are only three examples of personal anniversary as a legal holiday in the United States, namely, to commemorate Columbus Day in Columbus (the second Monday of October) and to commemorate Presidents' Day in George Washington (the third Monday of February). The people love him very much," said Bob, who also wore sunglasses, standing beside Chen Kangjie.

"This is what attracts American culture, inclusiveness. Of course, American history is short. Through these, it is also necessary to shape the unique history of the United States," Chen Kangjie commented.

Just as Chen Kangjie and his friends were worshiping and talking, several middle-aged Americans came over from the grass with flowers in their hands, probably to mourn the black leader.

Someone was coming to worship, but Chen Kangjie and the others had to leave this tree-shaded resting place. When those people saw Chen Kangjie and his group, no one recognized Chen Kangjie, and they were all wearing black sunglasses.

"Sir, Margaret Mitchell is also buried in this cemetery. Should I go and see it?", a young American man who was the guide quickly stepped forward and asked.

"You are talking about Ms. Mitchell, the author of "GoneWithTheWind", asked Chen Kangjie.

"Yes, sir, she lived in Atlanta all her life. After her husband died in a car accident in 1949, she was buried in this Oakland cemetery," the young man replied politely.

This young man is Bob's subordinate, and his hometown is from Atlanta. Although he is not sure of Chen Kangjie's identity, his boss respects him so much, so of course he has to be careful.

In fact, seeing Chen Kangjie's Chinese identity, he was so young. Although he was wearing sunglasses, he still felt that Chen Kangjie was just a LONG, but he felt that he could not talk nonsense without telling him, otherwise his high-paying job with an annual salary of US$250,000 would be gone. Bob is a person who is very strict with his subordinates, and he would not be able to find someone who is not smart to be a guide.

"If this is the case, then I really should go and see. This is an amazing woman. Although she lived in the 20th century, the story she described was during the Civil War, which was also a critical moment in the historical liberation of black people. This is somewhat similar to the historical period in which Mr. Martin Luther King was."

The cemeteries of the two great men are about 500 meters apart, and you can get there in a short walk. The cemetery in the United States is very different from those in China. It is better to say that it is a cemetery. It is better to say that it is a park with picturesque grass and dense trees. The weather is very good today, so it is just right to take a walk. After arriving, Chen Kangjie and the others saw an old couple holding a book "GoneWithTheWind" on the bench next to the path in front of Margaret Mitchell's tomb.

Chen Kangjie did not expect that this would happen. They were reading without utilitarianism. Perhaps, they felt that it was closer to the author and easier to understand the thoughts and emotions that the author wanted to express. Or, they wanted to reminisce about the lives they and their couples had passed by reading this love masterpiece.

The flowers Chen Kangjie and the others brought were already used in front of Martin Luther King's tomb, so here, the group could only stand in front of Ms. Mitchell's tombstone and bow three times to express their feelings.

"Great lady, I don't know why you refused to give your novel an ending, but I think there must be your reason for it. No matter how people follow it up later, you cannot hide your brilliant light." After the ceremony, Chen Kangjie looked at Ms. Mitchell's tombstone and said something.

Chen Kangjie has read this novel before he was reborn, and it really has no ending. He said so that it targets the American female writer Alexandra Repley after three years of hard work. On September 25, 1991, she published the sequel to "Gone with Gone" in 40 countries. "Scarlett Hawk", Alexandra Repley is a rigorous and diligent writer. Chen Kangjie did not target her, but after reading "Scarlett Hawk Hawk", he felt that it was not so original after all.

This is like the classic Chinese masterpiece "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". No matter what later written "Continuation of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or "Anti-Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it is impossible to catch up with Luo Guanzhong's original text.

"Young man, you are Japanese." A vicissitudes of greeting came from behind.

Chen Kangjie turned around and saw the two old men who were reading books just now holding their arms on the back of the bench and looking at him sideways. There was no doubt that it was this old man asking questions.

"Sorry, sir, I'm not a Japanese, I'm a real Chinese," Chen Kangjie replied politely.

"Very few Chinese people come here to worship, how could you think of coming?" The other party was very curious.

"Because I think culture can be infectious and has no borders. Ms. Ms. Mitchell is a writer I respect very much. This novel in your hand can be found in all bookstores and libraries in our country. It has hundreds of millions of Chinese readers, so I think Ms. Mitchell not only belongs to the United States, but also to the whole world. I am proud that the city of Atlanta can raise such talented female writers." Chen Kangjie only talks about why he came, but does not say why few Chinese come.

The main reason is that he cannot say, because that is the part we need to reflect on. There are many Chinese and Chinese students in the United States. These people, especially international students, come here to learn more about technical things. Whether it is economics, finance or physics, few people will pay attention to each other's culture with great interest. Culture is carried by these writers and philosophers. Not only in the United States, but also in the United Kingdom, few Chinese students will go to Shakespeare's former residence to commemorate. This highlights our utilitarianism. In fact, only by understanding the other party's culture can we better reflect on ourselves.

"Young man, welcome you to Atlanta, this is a good city," the old man said enthusiastically.

"Thank you, I'll come again."

The two old men continued to read their books quietly, and Chen Kangjie should leave.

Niu Qihua and the other two also participated in today's event, and their minds were full of deep confusion about Chen Kangjie. This was something they were thinking along the way. They accidentally came to the United States on the other side of the ocean and worshiped Martin Luther King and Margaret Mitchell. The key point is that Chen Kangjie's conversation made them ignorant and unable to understand.

Chen Kangjie communicated with Bob and others in English. Niu Qihua and his English level were just average. Some of them didn't understand. Even if they understood, they still didn't understand what it had to do with Chen Kangjie's identity.

The group did not return to the hotel. The convoy had already reached the entrance of the cemetery. From here, they would take a car directly to Savannah.

The cars follow the southeast Highway 75, and they will cross Macon and Dublin, then go on Route 16 and all the way to Savannah.

Georgia is a very developed state in the United States. On the road from Eastpoint to Macon, on both sides of the expressway, under the bright sunshine, there are endless farmlands. The corn that is about to be harvested is straight in the breeze. From time to time, a white farmhouse and a green forest emerge from the distance. Farmers are driving small trucks to pull goods, a serene and abundance. When the breeze blows, there is also some romantic meaning. Perhaps this is the sudden and element of American country music. However, this scene has undergone great changes with the scene described by Margaret Mitchell more than a hundred years ago. At least the endless stream of cars on the expressway has already shown the changes in the world.

Along the way, Chen Kangjie sat in the carriage and was thinking about the movie he was about to shoot. This movie began to tell the history of the United States in the 1950s, and it involves the differences in historical views. Chen Kangjie did not intend to break the historical view of the original work because it was in line with today's American thoughts. However, Chen Kangjie was considering whether to increase the description of Forrest Gump and China.

In the original film, there is only the content of ping-pong diplomacy, but the original novel describes Forrest Gump's visit to China, especially the chairman's reception. If the weight of this part of the play is increased, Chen Kangjie will not know whether it will break the logical structure in the original film. Of course, there are certain political risks.

After all, when Winston Grum described that paragraph, he had some Western prejudice. In the early 1970s, I had an extremely difficult period. At that time, the living standards of the people were very low. Forrest Gump from the United States would definitely witness some things that were incomprehensible to him.

Although there are risks, it is not without benefits. It is to highlight the huge contrast between China in the past 25 years through the description in the movie, and also tell the people in the country that history cannot regress. Once our policies and ideas regress, we will return to that terrible era.
