Godly Fisherman

Di Wei clutched his head: "It hurts, Brother Peng, why are you hitting my head?"

"What do you say I beat you for? Are you from Huaxia? What I said is one of Huaxia's backbone! You interrupted Laozi? Do you believe me if I call you?" Xiao Peng stared, Di Wei stopped talking.

Xiao Peng pinched his waist and pointed to Di Wei and said, "Listen to Lao Tzu. I don't care what nationality you are. If you want to work with me, first write it down to me. You are a Chinese! I can say without exaggeration. , That'Yichang Retreat' completely changed the destiny of a country in China! As a banana person, you don't know it, but you know that he doesn't respect him yet, be careful I really smoke you!"

Di Wei hugged his head: "Brother Peng, I have no disrespect. Starting tomorrow, I will study Chinese history seriously. Isn't it possible to learn Chinese?"

Xiao Peng smiled slyly: "You said this! Then don't blame me..."

Looking at Xiao Peng's expression, Di Wei had an ominous premonition. . . . . .

Knowing that Xiao Peng is going to New York, Di Wei is thinking about where to go in New York, Parker Park. Nightclub? Or Broadway? time Square? Even if you go to see Madison Square Garden. After all, he grew up in the western part of the Star Strip Country and it was his first time to New York.

But he really did not expect that his New York trip was like this: Xiao Peng actually took him to the New York Public Library for three days! If he hadn't understood Xiao Peng's financial resources, he would really like to shout: ‘Peng Brother! You are so stingy! ’

According to reason, the New York Public Library is a place that every visitor to New York will visit. After all, this is the largest public library in the Stars and Stripes, and one of the five famous libraries in the world: not to mention that the Library of Congress is bigger, it is not a public library.

The New York Public Library, which was completed and put into use in 1911, has been the most famous landmark in New York City. As long as it is New York-related movies, such as "Spiderman" and "The Great Escape of New York", they are all shot here.

Generally, a white palace-like building appears in a movie describing New York, with two stone lions lying on the door, and that’s it.

It can be said that this is the most magnificent library. If people who don't know it see it, they will really think it is a palace. The entire library is made of milky white marble, and the inside is even more gorgeous. Standing here, you can hardly associate it with the library, it is more like a palace of art.

Just like the poet Borges said: ‘Heaven should be like a library’, and this place should be the library that best fits his description.

Most importantly, this is ‘a place where you can enjoy everything without spending a penny’! It is completely free and open without any documents. When entering and exiting, the security personnel only need to check the backpack of the visitor. Therefore, a large number of tourists from all over the world come here every day.

But people usually take a few photos and leave after a tour. How can someone like Xiao Peng and two people stay here and read three-day books? Especially with an old man standing next to him, moving books back and forth.

At the beginning, Di Wei suspected that Xiao Peng was deliberately reorganizing himself. Somehow, he sat there reading and studying carefully, and then looked at Xiao Peng, sitting there reading books one by one! The speed of flipping is called fast, and after flipping one book and then flipping the next, I don't know what he is doing.

It was even more annoying that he turned the book so seriously. He didn't stop at dinner time every day, and he didn't go out to eat a big meal. He just had a sandwich in the small restaurant in the library, and went back to continue reading. What are you doing.

When the next day came, he finally knew why Xiao Peng turned the book so seriously.

Xiao Peng’s strange behavior was not only seen by Di Wei, but also by others: the next afternoon, when Xiao Peng went back after dinner and continued to read the book, an elderly man with glasses walked over to him. , Whispered: "Young man, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Peng looked around, talking to him, and lowered his voice: "I'm reading a book." In the New York Public Library, you can't hear any loud noise at all, and people with no quality will lower themselves when they come here. the sound of.

The old man had an expression of "Are you kidding me?": "Are you reading a book?" When he said this, his tone increased a lot, and everyone was watching him.

Xiao Peng frowned and made a hush gesture to him: "Of course I'm reading a book, what do you want?"

The old man indicated his identity: "Introduce myself. I am Tony Marx, the director of the New York Public Library. I have been paying attention to you for a long time. You have been standing here and looking through the book seriously. What are you doing?"

Xiao Peng was speechless: "Curator Marx, doesn't this library allow people to read books too fast?"

Tony Marx was also taken aback, let Xiao Peng ask for a moment, hesitated for a while and said: "How can you prove that you are reading a book? Sir, every book resource in our library is very important, so I am very afraid that you will treat books. What's the damage, after all, your way of turning the book is too easy to damage the book."

Xiao Peng frowned slightly: "I pay attention to it when I turn the book. I have been light-handed, and no book has been damaged." After finishing speaking, I didn't look at Tony Marx at all, but continued to turn my head down.

Tony Marx didn't know what to say. He looked at the bookshelf and rolled his eyes: "Have you read all these books?"

"En." Without raising his head, Xiao Peng continued to return the book by himself, which was regarded as an answer.

Tony Marx pulled out a book from the shelf: "Friend, if you really read it, you should be able to remember the content, right?"

Xiao Peng still didn't raise his head, and he answered with a hum.

Tony Marx continued: "Then you have to remember the contents of the book. Can you repeat the contents of this book for me?"

Xiao Peng still didn't look up: "Why? I don't need to prove to anyone when I study."

Tony Marx thought for a moment: "Well, it's not good for you to stand and read books like this all the time. If you prove it, you can sit there and read books. How about I am responsible for moving the books for you?

When Xiao Peng heard Tony Marx's words, he tilted his head and looked at the old man. Uh, that's a good idea: "Well, it just so happens that I'm standing tired too."

Tony Marx heard it, fuck, what do you mean? Do you really think I'm done? After thinking about it, Tony Marx put the book in his hand back to the shelf and took out another book from the shelf: "Have you read this book?"

Xiao Peng took a look: "Uh, yes. But then again, you are really bad enough."

He looked at the cover, it turned out to be Adam Smith's masterpiece: "A Theory of Moral Sentiments"!

No matter what the book is, as long as the title of the book carries the word ‘On’, the content is stubborn. Tony Marx is obviously trying to make himself more difficult.

Tony Marx didn't care about Xiao Peng's words, and opened the book directly: "Tell me about the content of Chapter 5, Chapter 1, Chapter 1."

Xiao Peng curled his lips: "Based on these two different efforts, that is, the bystanders' efforts to understand the emotions of the parties and the parties' efforts to reduce their emotions to the extent that the onlookers can agree with, two different kinds of efforts have been established. Virtue. On the basis of the previous endeavor, the virtues of gentleness, courtesy, amiability, justice, humility, and tolerance and kindness have been established; and the virtues of sublime, dignity, and respectable self-restraint, self-control and control each This kind of passion - they make all our activities that are out of nature subject to virtues such as our dignity, honor, and the rules required for our behavior, which are produced in the latter endeavor... What? Do you want me to memorize it?"

Tony Marx was stunned. He just asked Xiao Peng to introduce the content of this chapter to see if he had read the book. In the end, Xiao Peng did well and just recited it to him? Tony Marx drew another book from the shelf: "Then you can recite this book for me."

I didn't know Xiao Peng shook his head directly: "Are you sure you want me to recite such a book?!"

Tony Marx smiled: "Why refuse? You can't recite it, right?"

Xiao Peng shook his head and pointed to Tony Marx's book holding hand: "Look at what book you are holding?"

Tony Marx looked at the book in his hand, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Well, I am to blame for this. I didn't pay attention. Let's change one."

The book in Tony Marx's hand is a very old book. The title is "Four Years of Fighting against Lies, Stupidity, and Cowardice."

Many people don't understand the title of this book, but if you say it has another name, it must be known to everyone. This is the famous "My Struggle"! It is the autobiography of Adolf Hitler! Books once hailed as the "Bible" by Nazi Germany!

This book has always been banned, so it is rarely seen on the market. This is obviously one of the earliest editions because it bears the earliest name of this book.

Every country or society has its own definition of banned books. For example, Salinger’s "The Catcher in the Rye" was once banned in the Stars and Stripes; Rushdie’s "Satanic Poems" was banned by Iranian religious leaders for offending Muslims. It was declared a banned book, etc. However, there is very little book that can be regarded as a demon by people all over the world like Hitler's fascist autobiography "My Struggle".

However, recently this Pandora’s Box was opened. In 2016, the copyright of "My Struggle" expired. The Bavarian state government of Germany, which previously owned the copyright of this book, could no longer restrict the publication and distribution of this book, so this book Circulate freely in the market.

Now that "My Struggle" has been republished, the sales are amazing and it has become one of the bestsellers worldwide. Although the scholarly annotated edition is sold, this book is introduced from a literary perspective. But even so, the astronomical sales volume is astounding.

Sometimes this world is so crazy. . . . . .
