Figure skating went to the Republic of China to write novels

As long as people get serious about living their lives, time always flies by. Zhang Sushang has been earnestly losing weight since time travel, and making money to improve his quality of life. Before he knew it, he lost weight from 180 catties to 130 kg.

For Zhang Sushang, who is 1.8 meters tall, such a weight is already acceptable, and any further reduction is not good for health. Next, he only needs to eat a healthy diet and do a series of anaerobic and aerobic training on time.

Although he can't compare to the body that has been exercising since he can remember, but in this era, his physical fitness has surpassed 99.99% of human beings.

"Ugh."

Seeing Zhang Sushang sighing while eating noodles, Alexei poured him a glass of milk: "What's wrong?"

Zhang Sushang took out a small notebook and opened it: "Didn't I make a summary of my life after I came to St. Nothing major happened."

Alexei opened it and looked.

Summary at the end of the first semester of the university in 1926.

1. Lose weight by 22 kg, completed.

2. Ranked in the top three in the whole department of the examination, completed.

3. Solve food and clothing, completed.

Although there were only three things, all of them were major events. Alexei felt that it was quite remarkable that Zhang Sushang could accomplish so many things.

Zhang Sushang was still wracking his fingers: "I originally wanted to finish translating my textbooks, Li Yuan's and Wu Yeming's textbooks this semester, but I couldn't."

Alexey: "Didn't you finish the translation?"

Zhang Sushang: "I only finished translating the volume of this semester."

Speaking of this, Zhang Sushang was still a little helpless. In his opinion, the few students who came to study together are good seedlings who are the pillars of the country. You have to be polite with him and take half of the amount.

Alexei was silent for a while: "The international students in your country are all excellent."

He said this from his heart. Generally speaking, it takes four years to complete a university course, and there is a higher degree after that. But these Chinese students know how difficult it is for them to come to Russia. Everyone is desperate.

For example, Li Yuan, from the Department of Chemistry, completed a whole year of courses in one semester, and was going to go to sophomore next semester. This was the first time he was blocked by the language, otherwise it would have been faster.

Another example is Wu Yeming from the Engineering Department. He has a solid foundation and is diligent. Alexei heard from his professor that there is an associate professor in the Chemistry Department who wants Wu Yeming to be his son-in-law.

Zhang Sushang is not bad either. He has a strong learning ability, a cheerful personality, and is good at sports. He even ran a new record of 3000 meters in the school sports meeting. He is very popular in the class. He is currently working as a deputy The monitor's job.

After completing the semester summary, Zhang Sushang began to calculate the deposit again.

The publishing house paid him a very high manuscript fee, which was enough for Zhang Sushang to leave a large deposit for himself after feeding the chickens, ducks and fish eggs every day, but Zhang Sushang also had arrangements for the money.

First of all, the three people who came to Russia to study with him are all strong and hard-working characters. Zhang Sushang couldn’t stand their hard work, so every morning when he made boiled eggs, he had to cook three boiled eggs for the three of them. One, I usually cook delicious food, and I also want to send it there.

He felt that his state of mind was similar to that of an enthusiastic grandpa and aunt who saw the disaster relief soldiers eating dry food in the rain and was so distressed that they went to deliver the food.

Jiang Jinghu, Li Yuan, and Wu Yeming were all very strong. Zhang Sushang wanted to send money directly, but he didn't want it at all. If he forced it, he would turn his face. Sometimes Zhang Sushang stayed in the dormitory with them to translate books for an afternoon. To be stuffed with a piping hot baked potato.

Their way of getting along is summed up as ↓

Zhang Sushang: Let me take care of you, really, I have money!

Three people: We can't take advantage of you, just take care of yourself!

Zhang Sushang: QAQ please take advantage of me!

Three people: Come on, take this baked potato with you when you go home.

Alexei sometimes felt that this group of Chinese students wanted to be each other's fathers.

In addition to sending money to his compatriots, Zhang Sushang also took out half of the manuscript fee and sent it to other students who were also studying in his country through Li Yuan.

But after the copyright fee for publishing the book arrived, Zhang Sushang still saved a deposit of 2000 rubles. Looking at the money, Zhang Sushang calculated the cost of returning from Russia and then going to Switzerland from China. Immediately shivering, I vowed in my heart that unless it was a matter of life and death, I would never use this money.

Speaking of his source of income, that is, "Detective Ilya", the sales volume of the Russian version is quite hot, and intellectuals with a little spare money are willing to buy such a book. It is obviously very scary, except for the protagonist group, there are few good people, but from time to time A strange book that can make people laugh comes home.

Alexei sat next to him, watched Zhang Sushang organize the account books, spread out the paper and continued to translate the textbook, and asked, "The English version of "Detective Ilya" you translated by yourself has been sent out for two months, right?"

"Yes." Zhang Sushang put his hands on his chin.

Alexey: "Have you received feedback on the novel over there?"

Zhang Sushang: "Yes, I got an evaluation that I personally think is a bit too much."

"They say I'm an author who respects women, and the women in my novels, like Nora from A Doll's House, inspire a lot of women."

"A Doll's House" is a work created by the Norwegian dramatist Ibsen in 1879. It tells the story of a middle-class woman named Nora, who goes from intimacy to breaking up with her husband, and finally opens the house to leave. It can be regarded as the early stage of feminism. 's classic.

Zhang Sushang felt that his story was just a detective story purely for making money, and this evaluation was too high for him.

But it is undeniable that this book is selling well among western female readers, and it is a rare detective novel that women will also like very much.

It is said that newspapers reprinting "Detective Ilya" are also sold in Chinese concessions. Zhang Sushang hopes that his story will be seen by his compatriots in China, and he hopes they will like it. But when he thinks of the word concession, Zhang Sushang's Laughed and retreated.

In a middle school in the British Concession in Shanghai, a group of young girls walked into the campus together. Most of them were fifteen or sixteen years old, and they were clean and decently dressed.

Families that can provide their children with education in this era are not too bad, not to mention that there are foreign teachers in their schools who can teach students Russian, French, and English. Many students who are interested in studying abroad will try their best to enter this school. Of course, the tuition fees here are also high.

Li Yan's grandfather was a well-known tea merchant, and his family was well-off. When the children of the family reach a certain age, they will be sent to private schools for enlightenment. If they get good grades, they will be entrusted by the family to study there. She has a cousin from a branch, because His grades were so good that he was sent abroad to study.

The first class this morning is English class. The teacher is an American named Mike. He is one of Li Yan's favorite teachers. Although he is a man, he always treats female students very politely. Feel the respect.

When class was about to end, Li Yan saw the other party writing a few words on the blackboard.

morningreport, morning newspaper.

detective, detective.

Teacher Mike turned around and picked up a book: "A new day usually starts with a cup of coffee and a newspaper, which will record the news you want to know, as well as some interesting stories and ideas, such as the British Saturday Weekly , which comes out every Saturday morning, is a highly entertaining read not only for gentlemen, but also for their wives and children."

"Recently, this magazine published a unique detective story, the characters in it are full of personality. The author of this book is named Qiuka. He is a Russian writer. We don't know whether he is a man or a woman. He is very mysterious, but He endows the women in the novel with the wisdom and courage to transcend this gender. In this story, there are good men and bad men, good women and bad women. Some old-fashioned people think that this story is not for proper women to read, but I think you guys Should take a look."

"The name of this story is "Detective Ilya", and what I have in my hand is a collection of all its cases so far."

Teacher Mike read the first and second cases of this story during the break time.

To be honest, the first case of this book is funny. The author portrays a clever counselor detective, a majestic and violent handsome man, and a clever donkey in a very relaxed tone. Li Yanting I can't stop laughing, I don't think these cases are scary at all.

But from the second case onwards, the author Qiuka began to work hard. He is good at and likes to create all kinds of characters with full of personality. Except for the protagonist group in his book, everyone else is more or less psychologically abnormal.

However, as female readers, they always have sympathy for the misfortunes of the murderers Mira and Nicole.

In fact, as long as there is a little common sense, no one is willing to hurt others or sell themselves. The two murderers in "Bloodless Twins" are more like ordinary people who are driven to a dead end.

The author Qiuka wrote in the article [If they are placed in a less cruel society and let them receive education and grow up safely and happily, they will surely be like many girls. The biggest worry every day is what clothes to wear when going out , what snacks to eat, what university to take after finishing high school, what major to study is suitable for them, and can make more contributions to the country... But since they were hurt, it seems that the world has deprived them of their right to happiness. There is no other way. 】

This text is powerful for women in this era. Even though many people think that a society where men and women are equal and women can also receive education is a non-existent land that is difficult to reach, it still makes many people yearn for it.

The protagonist of "Detective Ilya" is very timid, but he has a smart and quick mind. His partner seems to be a violent rose, but in fact he is careful and upright, and he is very protective of his partner. They are not mainstream high-end characters, but they are impressive. Once you forget it, you will never forget it.

So without Zhang Sushang's knowledge, the Chinese version of "Detective Ilya" spread in the Shanghai Concession, and was quickly translated by Yun Yan, a Chinese teacher at Li Yan's middle school, who was an enthusiastic book fan. Yan is a well-connected person. During a reading party, he contacted Li Di, an old classmate of the publishing house, who is also the editor-in-chief of the Shanghai Evening News.

Holding the translated manuscript, Li Di sighed: "Brother Yun has worked so hard. Such a thick foreign language book was translated in less than half a month, but... if there is no authorization from the original author, we may It cannot be printed and sold privately."

If it's a pheasant tabloid, it's fine to translate and print foreign masterpieces privately. After all, they are also the top ten newspapers in Shanghai, so it's unseemly to do so.

"The original author of this book, Qiuka, is from St. Petersburg, Russia. No matter what, there is a reporter in our agency, and there are elders who can speak Russian at home. I will go all out and find the person who wrote the letter and sent it to Russia to see how it works." Buy the rights to "Detective Elijah."

However, Zhang Sushang didn't have time to read the letter they sent because he was very busy.

The cause of the incident was that something happened to his good apprentice Misha.

The next Olympic season was in February 1928. Before that, Mischa's most important competition every year was the World Figure Skating Championships. He lost to Gillies and Bock at the World Championships in 2, which was a blow to him. He questioned his talent for a while, and finally made him choose Zhang Sushang as his coach.

But let a Chinese become the coach of an Olympic silver medalist and a World Championship bronze medalist?Do not make jokes!That's not what dreams are made of.

After Zhang Sushang and Misha went to the artificial ice rink in the city center for training a few times, some people raised objections to this.

"Misha shouldn't let a yellow-skinned boy become his coach. This is an insult to the figure skating level of our country!"

"That's right, we need an explanation from Misha!"

"Is Misha crazy?"

When Misha's younger brother Ivan A hurriedly knocked on the door of Zhang Su's business to convey the news, Zhang Su Shang smiled.

He mentioned his skates: "I thought it was a big deal, let's go, I'll give them an explanation."
