Author/Ink Reading Time
The death of Sherlock Holmes, a figure under Arthur Conan Doyle, caused an uproar, and letters of condemnation poured in from all over the country, and the pressure of external condemnation forced the writer to write another article called "The Resurrection of Sherlock Holmes", which calmed the wave of public protest.

The protagonist of the novel who haunts his life
I don't know if you have read "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection", I remember when I was in high school, I loved this novel during the summer vacation, and this book was given to me by an uncle in the west neighbor's family.
Although a long time has passed, but the impression of this novel is very charming, reading the book is also nervous, with the plot of the story also ups and downs, did not expect the sensational effect of this novel to be so huge.
The author of this novel, Conan. Doyle, who created the well-known character Sherlock Holmes, ushered in a new era in the history of detective fiction, but this novel occupies a lot of the author's time, although this novel has countless fans in the Uk, but Conan. Doyle really didn't want to bother the central figure, Holmes, all day long, he was tired of writing, really tired.
So he wrote a letter to his mother, asking for the death of the protagonist of the novel, Holmes, but this was strongly opposed by his mother. Even so, Conan Doyle wrote the protagonist Holmes to death.

The sensational effect of Holmes being written after his death
It was this incident that caused an outcry from Sherlock Holmes fans at the time, who took to the streets and put on black armbands to pay homage to the dead, and they shouted "Holmes, resurrection!" ”。 And it triggered a serious slowdown in subscription newspapers. Because this novel was first published in the newspaper at that time, the newspaper at that time was "Waterfront Magazine", which was an elegant public reading in Britain.
Every day, Conan Doyle receives fiercely worded condemnation letters from all over the country, and this incident has plunged Doyle Conan into a wave of criticism. So much so that for the next ten years, any novel written by Conan Doyle, people did not buy it.
Conan Doyle followed the reading, and ten years later tried to write Holmes's sequel "The Resurrection of Sherlock Holmes", unexpectedly, this writing won people's love, until conan Doyle's death, his work was mainly based on Sherlock Holmes as the main clue.

Knighthood for fictional characters
Unexpectedly, the character created in the novel, Detective Holmes, became a famous British detective in Europe.
The prestigious Royal Society of Chemistry conferred on him the honorary fellowship on 16 October 2002, making him the first fictional figure to receive this honor. A hundred years after the book came out, the British royal family decided to grant the novel's eponymous protagonist, Sherlock Holmes, a knighthood.
The conditions for the Emperor's knighthood were harsh and serious, but this time it was awarded to a fictional character in a book.
It can be seen how profoundly the work of Arthur Conan Doyle icon a hundred years ago has had a profound impact on society and its significance, which is the power of a novel.

The power of words
Speaking of which, I would like to say that a well-conceived novel can affect a person's heart, and even a person's soul world, and the vitality of this novel can extend to an infinite length, a hundred years, two hundred years, or even longer.
Similarly, a popular article will also cross the space of history, bring silent life into the world of sound, take root and sprout in this world, grow from a small tree to a towering tree, and still shine a hundred years later, whether from the author's point of view or the appearance of the protagonist of the novel, it lives in people's hearts. This is the most precious thing!
This is the power of words, for example, China's four famous works "Journey to the West", "Water Margin", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Dream of the Red Chamber", these four masterpieces are now on the screen, vivid pictures make people feel more intimate, and the author's name and the characters in the novel are passed down through the ages, forever.

Any novel comes from life
Speaking of Holmes, our hearts are always the detective with the pipe in his hand, his calm and calm way of reasoning, in that regard, he portrays a person flawlessly, but the novel ultimately comes from life, draws on life, which is inextricably linked to the life experience of Conan Doyle, and the archetypal character of Holmes is Conan Doyle's mentor.
No matter how far-reaching the conception of a novel is, it is inseparable from real life, life is our inexhaustible first material, leaving life, out of life's unrealistic words are short-lived, short-lived words, how much will people remember?
