Volume 1: A sound on Wall Street, Xinxiang City is busy copying books Chapter 13 There is truth
Subtitle of this chapter: How did I become Lanling Xiaoxiao’s son?
"Just when everyone thought that this mystery might not be solved until the new century, or just like in WhitechapelThe real murderers of those murders will never be found. An unexpected turn of events occurred at the turn of the millennium, when the original manuscript of Fifty Shades of Grey was donated to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York by an anonymous person.. The identity of the mysterious author who has remained anonymous for nearly eighty years is finally about to be revealed..."
"But the process of revealing it was so simple, so short, and so dramatic that it was incredible.The curator of the museum is also a very experienced researcher of the history of English and American literature. When he first saw the manuscript, he exclaimed, "My God, this book was written by NY?" And NY is the one who is known as 'NY of NY'NY..."
"The curator was able to recognize the author so quickly for two reasons. First, the Red Queen in the dedication was the pen name that Mr. Yuan used when he sometimes published female-themed novels anonymously. Second, it was because he recognized the handwriting of the dedication on the title page..."
"And he was able to recognize the handwriting as belonging to NY of NY so quickly because he had just read the manuscript of another novel by Dr. NEO YUAN not long ago. Coincidentally, according to the detection of modern instruments, the two dedications written by NEO YUAN were not written with ink but with food..."
"The Watson Library not only compared the two typed manuscripts, but also retrieved the archives of New York University. The manuscript of Dr. NEO YUAN's doctoral thesis was typed on the same UNDERWOOD typewriter produced in 1908, just like the two manuscripts mentioned above. The truth has finally been revealed to the world..."
"As for why Dr. NEO YUAN was able to write "Fifty Shades of Grey", it reminds me of what he said on many occasions. When someone asked him how to become a writer, he always answered with an anecdote that actually happened in history. Once, a noble lady from the French provinces asked Mr. Alexandre Dumas how to train her son to be an outstanding writer. And Alexandre Dumas told the lady, Madam, please send your son to Paris and give him a large sum of money every month..."
"Given the historical evidence that Dr. NEO YUAN and Ms. Anastasia Steele had become a kind of 'boyfriend and girlfriend' in New York before 1920, and the various groundbreaking techniques described in detail in this novel, coupled with the distinctive characteristics of the hero and heroine. The words he quoted from Dumas should really be his own understanding of his literary career and other careers..."
"There is another anecdote. According to the archives, a NYPD officer accused Dr. NEO YUAN and a red-haired woman of attacking him after seeing Mr. Yuan Yanshu's photo in the newspaper. However, the witness claimed that the man who attacked the police was Japanese, and because Mr. Yuan had become a famous scholar and writer at that time, the accusation was dropped..."
"Finally, there is another interesting point. Dr. NEO YUAN actually revealed his identity in the book intentionally or unintentionally. As we all know, Dr. NEO YUAN is the first novelist who has elevated science fiction to an unprecedented height. When writing science fiction, he only used one pen name in his life, which is Grey Knight.At the same time, his attitude towards Christianity has always been very unfriendly, and he even published a considerable number of historical works anonymously to expose the ugly side of Christianity. This identity was only discovered by the world in recent years, and the pen name he used at the time was The Antichrist..."
"In short, naming a male protagonist who is suspected of devil worship and indulging in abnormal carnal desires as Christian Grey is not only a true portrayal of himself, but also a satire of Christianity by Dr. NEO YUAN, the 'Antichrist'..."
Translator's note: The conclusion that Mr. Yuan Yanshu is the anonymous author of "Fifty Shades of Grey" easily reminds us Chinese readers of a public case in Ming and Qing novels, that is, the true identity of Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng, the author of "Jin Ping Mei". The latter question may never be solved.
However, Mr. Yuan Yanshu has always been asked the same question throughout his life, that is, why could a Chinese like him write so many classic works in English and other languages?
He answered the questioner like this, for the author, as long as there are readers who like his work, it is enough. Just like you don't mind whether the chef who fried a perfect steak for you is white or black, why should you consider the identity of the author when enjoying reading?
——Excerpt from the preface to the 2002 Chinese edition of Fifty Shades of Grey
In the "real" history, when Yuan Yanshu walked out of Anna's apartment building that morning, she never thought that she would become the "Jack the Ripper of English literature" nor that she would be hailed as the "Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng of the 20th century."
But if he knew there were so many different opinions, he would definitely... not care. Is the master of erotic literature not also a master of literature?
Since humans began to ponder literature and art , they have probably been inseparable from this matter. From the East to the West, the "Book of Songs", "Rig Veda", "Golden Glitter... um, the Epic of Gilgamesh" and "The Iliad" all have extremely explicit descriptions of this.
In modern times, works from the West to the East, such as "The Decameron", "Arabian Nights", Chinese Ming and Qing novels, and "The Tale of Genji", are very pornographic and violent even from a modern perspective.
Our Master Yuan has a particularly deep hatred for the book "Arabian Nights". When he was a child, he read the clean version of "One Thousand and One Nights", which was fine. When he was a little older, he read the "unclean version" of "Arabian Nights" to reminisce his childhood. The beginning alone almost destroyed Yuan's young worldview, who was not mentally prepared at all and was still a junior high school student. From then on, he hated and detested cuckold literature.
He felt sore in his back and his legs were a little weak. He shivered involuntarily when the cold autumn wind blew. Yuan Yan quickly turned up the collar of his suit and began to think about a very important question...
