After Lin Zixuan got his degree, Ji Hongming also brought his translation manuscript.

This international student who studies literature did not realize that he was translating world-class literary works, but instead had a little contempt.

In the minds of Chinese people, the truly good articles are those of the orthodox type of articles that are related to the people's livelihood and are educationally important, or are reasonable articles.

Lin Zixuan's two novels, one is a fairy tale and the other is a fishing man.

The protagonist in the fairy tale is also a little prince from an alien planet. Ji Hongming has no love for this setting, or it is far from his concept.

The novel about the old man fishing is a bit interesting, but the writing is too straightforward and has no appreciation.

After all, he was a little resistant in his heart. He felt that literature is noble and not everyone could write articles.

Lin Zixuan was born into a business family and studied economics. He just wanted to do business well and make money. What kind of articles should I write? Isn’t this kind of writing ruining good articles?

Of course, he did not speak out for advice, but just gave the manuscript to Lin Zixuan.

Lin Zixuan was overjoyed after receiving the manuscript and took another step forward from his path to becoming a great writer.

He began to travel around publishing houses, hoping to find buyers and make a big profit before leaving the United States.

Columbia University itself has a publishing house, and he is a student of Columbia University, so his first goal is this publishing house.

"Sorry, we mainly publish political books, so you should go to other publishers to ask."

Lin Zixuan was not discouraged after being rejected. This is a world-class literary masterpiece. Are you afraid that you can't find a publishing house?

There are many publishing houses in New York, and they ran over one by one.

Some publishers directly refused to submit newcomers, while others saw that the two novels were so small that they had no intention of publishing. What's more, they saw that Lin Zixuan was not a white man and showed a look of suspicion.

In their minds, people outside of white people should be illiterate.

There are several small publishing houses who are willing to publish, but they have to publish at their own expense and are not responsible for marketing.

Please, I want to make a big profit, not to pay for money.

After running around, Lin Zixuan was in a panic.

This is a world-class classic. Isn’t there anyone with vision in New York?

In fact, it’s not that others don’t have vision, but that Lin Zixuan has taken the wrong path.

For such a short novel, the author usually chooses to mail it to a literary magazine or newspaper. After publishing it, it will cause an impact before it will attract the attention of the publisher.

Another way is to send novels to famous writers or professors in the literature department in the university. If they can get the recognition and recommendation of writers and professors, they will also be valued by publishers.

A young man like Lin Zixuan, who took the manuscript to the publishing house and recommended himself. Not to mention whether he could see an energetic editor, it first gave people an immature feeling and naturally would not be taken seriously.

This world is very realistic. If you are not a celebrity, why do you need others to treat you as celebrities?

What's more, he's not white.

The United States is a white supremacy society, and it is difficult for other ethnic groups to get opportunities in the United States.

Furthermore, Lin Zixuan chose a theme that was not pleasing. The market for fairy tales was too small, and "The Old Man and the Sea" was a story that took place in Cuba.

If he took out "Gone with Gone" it might attract the attention of the publisher. After all, it was a story that took place in the United States or the Civil War, which had a great advantage in subject matter.

It was his first time to come into contact with the publishing industry. He didn't understand the tricks and thought that he could rush around with world-class works. Everyone was rushing to publish, and there was a fierce battle to grab the manuscripts.

Unfortunately, he was wrong.

Even famous authors will experience rejection in the early stages of writing. For example, when "Pride and Prejudice" was published, they encountered walls everywhere, and the popular Harry Potter book in later generations was rejected by more than a dozen publishers.

Lin Zixuan calmed down in the apartment, and he remembered a sentence from later generations.

"Today you ignore me, and tomorrow I will make you unable to stand up."

He made up his mind to plagiarize a classic book in the future and let the Americans rush to publish it.

He is leaving the United States.

This is his plan, to plagiarize world famous works to make a vote, then travel to Europe, and then return to China.

Unexpectedly, the plan to make a vote went bankrupt, but he was not short of money, so it didn't matter. Anyway, I got my degree, so it would be better to leave this sad place earlier.

Before leaving, he mailed the manuscript to The Atlantic, a Boston-based literary magazine known for recommending new writers.

It's the last struggle.

In the next few days, Lin Zixuan put down everything and had a party with international students in New York.

In this era, most of the students who were able to study abroad had backgrounds. Now they have a good relationship and meet in the future.

This is how interpersonal relationships gradually expand.

In mid-October 1920, Lin Zixuan left New York with a boat ticket and headed towards London, England.

The reason why he chose London for the first time was of course to find his former good roommate Xu Zhimo.

But what he didn't expect was that more than ten days after he left, a letter from the Atlantic Monthly was sent to the apartment where he originally lived.

This is not a letter of rejection, but a notice that Lin Zixuan had his novel adopted and paid him the royalties.

Because of Lin Zixuan's departure, the letter was not received and returned to the Atlantic Monthly, but his novels had already appeared in the magazine at that time.

The editor of "Atlantic Monthly" did not see at a glance that "The Little Prince" and "The Old Man and the Sea" are world-class masterpieces. The editor just thought that these two novels had a strange perspective and were very interesting.

It was published in accordance with the principle of encouraging newcomers, and there was no excitement at all when you saw world-class classics.

However, it was finally published in magazines, and more and more people will see that the influence of world-class masterpieces began to spread slowly until the day that shocked the world.

Lin Zixuan does not have an English name, so when he contributed to the Atlantic Monthly, he used the Chinese pinyin of the name.

The editor of "Atlantic Monthly" did not change it and copied it directly. This became Lin Zixuan's first pseudonym. Foreigners would think that the author's name is difficult to read, which makes it strange.

Lin Zixuan met his good roommate Xu Zhimo in London, London, UK.

Xu Zhimo came to London to study with the philosopher Russell, but Russell had something to do temporarily and didn't care about him, so he had to live in the School of Political Science and Economics.

Just when he was depressed and confused, he met Lin Huiyin who followed his father to study in Europe. He suddenly fell in love and began to pursue him eagerly.
