Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Chapter 144 Conquering the masses (seeking a reward

Enni looked at Kevin with her eyes, and it was not convenient for her to say anything in front of so many people. However, she could still see countless confidence in the boy's eyes. Perhaps, this self-confidence will create many unexpected miracles.

After getting Kevin's confirmation, the host also walked over and took the article Kevin had just written in his hand.

"Thank you, please read it out for everyone to listen to. If you don't hear it very clearly, you can read it in Time Magazine."

So, the host moistened his throat and said, "Okay, everyone, let's listen quietly to the work that Mr. Kevin just spent ten minutes writing, shall we?"

As soon as the words came out, the entire press conference hall fell silent.

The host roughly glanced at Kevin's article, and then read in a gentle voice: "Why I Was Born".

Three passions, simple but powerful, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and an irrepressible pity for the suffering of mankind. These feelings are like gusts of wind, carrying me here and there in a wandering way, flying over the ocean of anguish, to the verge of despair.

I have sought love because, first, it brings ecstasy, a feeling so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of my life for a few hours of the joy of it; one fearful lonely consciousness that looks over the rim of the world into the cold deathless abyss; and finally, in the union of love, I see in a mystical miniature the prefigured heaven that saints and poets have imagined. . this is what i sought, and though it might be too good for human life, this is what i have found, at last.

I also pursue knowledge with equal passion. I long to understand the human heart, to know why the stars shine. I'm also trying to get a taste of Pythagoras' wisdom about which numbers remain eternal over change.

Love and knowledge, so far as possible, lead me to heaven; but pity always brings me back to reality. Those painful calls echoed deep within me. Hungry children. People who are oppressed and tortured, helpless old people who are a burden to their children. And the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and misery is a mockery of the ideal human life. I long to alleviate these misfortunes, but my inability to do so is my pain.

This is what I have been pursuing all my life. I have found life worth living; and if given the chance to do it again, I would gladly take it. …

This is the full text of "Why I Was Born". Although the number of words in the article is not many, it is excellent. Because Bertrand Russell fully explained the love and knowledge in life in the article. The importance of compassion (kindness) in this life.

And the article is about love,

The understanding of knowledge, compassion (kindness) is also so mature and unique, which is why this article has been widely read.

In fact, there is another sentence in the article "Why I Was Born" that refers to the author's conjecture about which numbers are changing in Pythagoras, but because it does not match the current Kevin's identity, he did not write it down. .

After the host read the article, his mouth opened wide. Undoubtedly, he also had a little literary common sense. In his opinion, although the number of words in this article is very small, it is only a few hundred words. But the words are short and meaningful.

What am I born for? This is a difficult question in life, but no one can avoid it. Kevin's answer: love, knowledge and compassion. This is a mature answer and a deep understanding of the secular world.

Not only the host praised Kevin's article, but also the media reporters in the audience. Those who could hear clearly also applauded enthusiastically after the host read the entire article.

"Host, thank you for reading aloud, and thank you for listening. Although the number of words in the article is not very large, literature does not care about the number of words. Therefore, I hope you will be satisfied with this article "Why I Born". "This article is a temporary swipe of my pen, and the purpose is to tell the world what I, Kevin, have been pursuing in my life. Thank you everyone."

As soon as Kevin finished speaking, there was another warm applause from the audience. For this literary genius. Also for this work that can be called the guiding light of life --- "Why I Was Born".

"Kevin, thank you for your impromptu swipe. Although this article is very short, I like it very much. I didn't expect your mind to be so mature. Your understanding of life is so deep. Guys, I think that's all , I think Kevin can write delicate and mature writing like "Ode to a Nightingale", "Jane Eyre" and "Wuthering Heights." "The Celtics" reporter said.

"Yes, Kevin, please forgive my misunderstanding. Although your article is only a few hundred words, it is enough to reflect your talent. I like the three emotions you mentioned in it, love, knowledge, Compassion. I think these three things are not only what you want to pursue, but also what we want to pursue. Thank you for writing life so thoroughly.” The reporter of Literary and Art News also stood up and said.

"Ever since I saw the comparison between "Thrush" and "Ode to a Nightingale", I don't doubt that Kevin is a plagiarist. What I doubt is how can Kevin write those delicate and mature stories at this age. Looking at it now I have no reason to doubt that he wrote such a short article within ten minutes after arriving at the scene. In a word, Kevin is a literary genius." The reporter of "Livingston Weekly" also stood at this time Get up and say.

The words of the reporter of "Livingston Weekly" are also in the hearts of many people. After all, after Enni took out the manuscript of "Thrush" and compared it with "Ode to a Nightingale" written by Kevin, many people also knew that there was a relationship between them. It does not constitute plagiarism. What they doubted was how Kevin could write such mature and in-depth text at his age.

And now after Kevin wrote this short and beautiful prose "Why I Was Born" in ten minutes on the spot, they can only deeply admire Kevin's literary talent.
