In October 1990, Márquez made a harsh remark in front of many Chinese scholars: "For 150 years after my death, I will not authorize China to publish any of my works, especially "One Hundred Years of Solitude"!" After saying this, Márquez left China directly, while Mr. Qian Zhongshu, who accompanied him, could only smile awkwardly at the side.

Márquez was a Colombian writer, journalist and social activist, a representative of Latin American magic realist literature, one of the most influential writers of the 20th century, and he was hailed as the "literary benchmark of the twentieth century". García Márquez combined realism with fantasy to create a mythical history of the ever-changing Columbia and the entire South American continent. In 1967, he created the masterpiece "One Hundred Years of Solitude", and in 1982, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature through "One Hundred Years of Solitude".

The Swedish Academy of Letters believed that Márquez in One Hundred Years of Solitude "created a unique world, the world that surrounds Macondo" and "brought together incredible wonders and the purest real life", and awarded him the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Nobel Prize in Literature: A hundred years of solitude is the greatest masterpiece of all languages of the past fifty years.

So what happened, the opening scene?

At that time, Márquez's first trip to China came first to Shanghai and then to the capital, Beijing. In order to show respect, it is even more important for us to personally accompany Mr. Qian Zhongshu, a literary giant and translator, and the two have a very happy conversation, and they hate each other late. Chinese and Western literature collide with each other, making the two have endless conversations.

Until, they arrived at a bookstore in Wangfujing, Márquez's expression became serious. That's because his "One Hundred Years of Solitude" was placed in the most prominent position in the bookstore, and then he went to many bookstores in a row, all with his own "One Hundred Years of Solitude".

But Márquez remembers not authorizing China to publish One Hundred Years of Solitude, but now China is full of his books, which is enough to prove that China published his pirated books without his consent. Not only that, but he also saw another of his own works, "Love in the Time of Cholera", which is also a pirated version.

Markles was very angry and asked Qian Zhongshu and his party, "You are all pirate dealers?" Everyone present understood that it was his own loss, and even Mr. Qian Zhongshu was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say, and could only laugh from the sidelines.

And Markles threw down a sentence: For 150 years after my death, I will not authorize China to publish any of my works, especially "One Hundred Years of Solitude"! He left China in a hurry.

After Márquez left China, more than 100 publishing houses in China asked to publish his books, but he really did what he said, that is, he refused to give China permission, and the book "One Hundred Years of Solitude", which was popular around the world 4 or 50 years ago, was only authorized in China in 2010.

Until 2008, Chen Mingjun, the editor-in-chief of New Classic Culture, wrote a letter to Márquez that impressed Márquez.

The letter reads:

As you shouted across the street in Paris, "Master! Like your idol, Hemingway, we are shouting 'Maestro' across the Pacific Ocean to pay tribute to you. We believe that if you heard it, you would wave your hand like Hemingway and shout, "Hello, friend!" ”

Perhaps it was this that reminded Márquez of himself, the first and only time he had close contact with his idol, and Márquez was finally willing to give the Chinese editions of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and "Love in the Time of Cholera" to the China Publishing House.

In 2010, the first working day after the Chinese New Year, the New Classic Copyright Department finally received the authorization notice. Chen Mingjun was so excited that he wrote on his Weibo: "This is a day that can go down in the annals of History in the history of Chinese publishing." ”

It can be said that Márquez reneged on his promise, he did not authorize China to publish his works for 150 years after his death, and masterpieces such as "One Hundred Years of Solitude" were not only officially published in China, but also very popular.

We may not have seen this classic book, but we have basically heard of "One Hundred Years of Solitude".

One Hundred Years of Solitude was published in 1967 and quickly sold well worldwide.

It became one of the best-selling books of all time, selling more than 50 million copies worldwide and growing in sales of millions of copies each year. One Hundred Years of Solitude also made Márquez the world's best-known writer and won the Nobel Prize in Literature!

Mo Yan took it as a guide, he said, "The first thing I felt when I read the book "One Hundred Years of Solitude" was shock, it turned out that novels could be written like this, and then I felt regret, why didn't I know that novels could be written like this? ”

The New York Times gave it epic praise, calling it "the first literary masterpiece after Genesis to be read by all mankind." ”

Some people say that "One Hundred Years of Solitude" "can't forget the shock when I first read this book, and there are even people who write novels like this, and the words of the novel itself are very magical, making people feel like they have been poisoned, and they must be read in one breath." ”

Later, Márquez not only introduced "One Hundred Years of Solitude" to the Chinese book market, but also another masterpiece, "Love in the Time of Cholera", which was also popular with the public.

In life, we will always face loneliness, which is the norm of life and the most important part of life.

We need to face it, and we need to accept it even more.

After reading this set of books, you will feel that too many of our impetuous expectations are just a fleeting environment, and only loneliness is eternal, and there is peace and calm!
