my dream adventure

Chapter 258 The Butterfly Effect (25)

Her ability lies in being able to touch the soul, and extend her eyes deeply and delicately to all aspects of life, people and things.

Somewhat similar to the works of the island writer Osamu Dazai, the brush strokes are flat, but they touch the soul.

Unlike the prose-style romances that are almost flooding in China, she can talk about daily life without deliberately beautifying reality.

Love of nature, but not superficial appreciation of beauty itself, but attributable to biological evolution, social psychology, and even the ancient idea of ​​the unity of man and nature, etc.

What is truly ingenious about a writer is that the thing they talk about is never the thing itself, but the whole world connected behind it can be seen from the thing.

Li Wen's realm is much higher than Mu Yuan's, it can be said that they are comparable.

The two of them maintain such a pen pal relationship, probably just playing a game to cultivate their sentiments when they have nothing to do.

Today, in Li Wen's letter, she talked about various public opinion controversies and cyber violence that have recently appeared on the Internet. She believes that the birth of the Internet will become a tool for some people to manipulate people's hearts.

And she also mentioned that, in fact, the human heart is something that can be easily manipulated.

Because most of the ordinary people who don’t have enough to eat and wear warm, have nothing to do but feel sulky, they like to see whoever they see, and make their own way.

It often becomes a tool for others to point out where to fight. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there is also an element of capital manipulation.

Lin Yuan expressed his appreciation. This Li Wen's insight is extraordinary, and he actually predicted the upcoming online scuffle in a month's time.

Sure enough, people like writers have flexible brains and can see part of the information that ordinary people can hardly perceive.

What a vision.

In the reply, Lin Yuan imitated Mu Yuan's daily writing habits, commented on her views, and at the same time talked about some things that happened around him recently.

Consciously or unintentionally, he wrote Hu Die's case, concealed her personal information, and wanted to get some pointers from Li Wen, a smart person.

As the saying goes, it is not a bad thing to seek foreign aid for things that he cannot handle alone.

After posting the stamps and making copies, it was almost one o'clock in the morning. After reviewing the homework again, I stretched out a long way.

Lin Yuan fell asleep lying on Mu Yuan's narrow wooden bed, the plan was carried out step by step, and his mood was quite calm.

After a night of no dreams, the next morning, he ate a steamed bun and a bowl of soy milk, and took the letter to the school mailroom to post.

When I saw Wen Suxin waiting there in front of the teaching building, she seemed a little nervous and kept looking at the watch on her hand.

As soon as he looked up and saw Mu Yuan, he immediately put on a disdainful expression, as if blaming him for not being on time for the appointment.

Hastily stuffed a file bag into Mu Yuan's arms, and told him not to reveal the secret, and read it when he went back.

Lin Yuan was puzzled, this girl said yesterday that she would give him the materials in the evening, but she did not expect to bring them so soon.

It's really more urgent than the person who needs it, so I can only promise and say a few words of thanks.

After entering the classroom, the rustling voices in the classroom stopped instantly. The deterrent power of the veteran Mu Yuan cadres is really not good enough. It is estimated that these students are usually terrified of him.

Lin Yuan put his bag in the front row. Anyway, no one dared to sit in the front two rows and listen to the class. It doesn't matter if he occupies a row by himself.

At this time, a student came over, holding a stack of heavy homework books.

"Teacher, this is the homework assigned in the last class. It is basically collected, and there are still two people who have not handed it in. They said they will hand it in before the next class."

The student looks fair and clean, and he looks like a study committee member.

He took the homework book and flipped through it, and attached a registration form with the names of the students, noting who handed it in and who didn't, and basically had homework every week. It seemed that the reason why Mu Yuan was hated by the students was obvious.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"It's okay, teacher, then I'll go back to my seat first."

"Ah."

Lin Yuan nodded, and copied the PPT to the computer. The last class talked about Cao Xueqin's life story, and this class started to talk about the key plots and main characters in Dream of the Red Chamber.

After reviewing for a period of time, Lin Yuan was able to handle it with ease. He often read this book when he was in junior high school, so he was familiar with it.

It doesn't seem so unprofessional.

The content of this class was basically finished, and he left a period of time for the students to discuss freely.

He was the first to ask a question.

"Dream of Red Mansions, you have all read it, right? There are many experts and scholars who study red studies. What do you think is so good about this novel that experts from two centuries have been arguing for so long?"

As soon as the voice fell, more than 60 students in the classroom whispered to each other and discussed, some lowered their heads, afraid of being called out by the teacher to ask questions.

After 3 minutes, he spread out the list and randomly ordered someone to come up to hear her opinion.

"Student A, tell me your opinion, or your opinion on the book Dream of the Red Chamber?" Lin Yuan's tone became amiable.

If Mu Yuan was really here, everyone would be too scared to speak, of course it was just a joke.

"Teacher, I have watched Dream of Red Mansions many times, and I have also heard about the Red Mansions series written by Jiang Xun, a writer from Taiwan. I am probably Cao Xueqin's little fan, but in fact, I don't know why I like it. Maybe it is because of the poetic and picturesque flavor he describes. The luxurious life of ancient aristocratic families is very attractive to me. There is also the love between Baoyu and sister Lin, which is sweeter than many female novels in Jinjiang today." Classmate A laughed while talking.

Many students below also laughed. They probably thought she was cute and sincere. Although she was not professional, she was harmless.

"You speak very well, please sit down first." Lin Yuan nodded, spared the female student, and began to talk on his own, "Cao Xueqin's detailed description of daily life was beyond the reach of many writers at that time, and he Writing characters is often not mixed with personal criticism, and the whole narrative seems to be natural, as if jumping off the paper."

Seeing that the topic was opened, another student B took the initiative to say, "Teacher, I have something to say."

"Speak." Lin Yuan politely gave him the "microphone".

"Cao Xueqin treats all characters in the book equally, whether it is the protagonist Yi Pai Baoyu and Jinling Twelve Beauties, or ordinary people such as Grandma Liu and Xue Pan, he will devote all his pen and ink to describe them. In his eyes, no one is truly perfect. Yes, they are all ordinary people with advantages and disadvantages, and they are all doing things within the reasonable range of their character settings." Classmate B's narration seems very professional.

Soon there was some applause in the class, Lin Yuan smiled slightly, and prepared to ask some questions to embarrass this classmate.

"Since you understand so well, let me ask you some questions to test you. Some scholars believe that Cao Xueqin wrote the long masterpiece Dream of Red Mansions with all his heart and soul when his family was copied and disheartened. Come on, what is Cao Xueqin's purpose in writing Dream of the Red Chamber?" Lin Yuan asked a not-so-difficult question, and did not ask him to come to a professional conclusion.

Student B thought for a while and said, "If I assume the role of the writer himself, I think, on the one hand, he is nostalgic for the good things he experienced in the past, and on the other hand, he seems to be burying the wisdom he has honed from suffering in this place. The core of the story. If Jia Baoyu is Cao Xueqin, then Baoyu’s mental journey in the whole story is Cao Xueqin’s state of mind.”

"It's interesting. In Gao E's version, Baoyu finally became a monk. What do you think about this?" Lin Yuan asked immediately.

"Baoyu said more than once in front of Daiyu and others to become a monk. When people are discouraged and have no worries about everything, they will choose to become a monk. Cao Xueqin did not become a monk because he still has nostalgia for the world. If he hadn't If he is nostalgic, he will not write the Dream of Red Mansions, and he will not be tortured by the suffering in the world. He still has responsibilities and attachments to the world, and he has the obligation to be responsible to his wife and children, instead of choosing to let go completely. Baoyu is right A person who is full of nostalgia and fraternity in everything, his renunciation will inevitably be accompanied by complete disappointment in the world." Student B analyzed for a long time, but obviously, he could not easily make a judgment.

"Let's not care whether he will become a monk or not, just tell me, do you think it is good or bad for him to become a monk?" Lin Yuan led the students' thoughts forward.

Student B fell into thinking for a while, when a female student C stood up to answer the conversation.

"Teacher, I feel that becoming a monk cannot solve all problems. For the world, Baoyu chose to escape selfishly, rather than a real epiphany. Then this kind of becoming a monk has no value. I remember that some time ago, Teacher Wen Suxin When teaching mental health courses, I mentioned being responsible for one’s own life and so on. There is not much difference between becoming a monk and committing suicide. They are both stress reactions when facing a cliff. They are both a kind of escape and ostrich behavior. "Student C's point of view is very radical, but he said what Lin Yuan wanted to point out.

"That's very good, you continue to speak, speak boldly." Lin Yuan encouraged the other party from the side.

Student C cleared his throat and continued, "People should be responsible for their own lives. Even if everything is painful, all experiences are sad, and I will destroy the beauty for you. But you can't give up hope of changing everything because of this. That's why we survived."

"Yes, both of you have spoken very well, please sit down first." Lin Yuan waved his hands, told them to sit down, and took the microphone back into his hands, "Students, in fact, when we study famous classics, we not only need to learn Its layout, character design and language rhetoric, and more importantly, it is to understand the author's own mental journey, the soul he contains in the story. That is the core of the story. We don't look back to criticize Cao Xueqin's choice, we After all, he didn’t stand in his position at that time. Human beings are the product of the times. People of that era took on things that we cannot bear today. Therefore, it is meaningless to look back. But imagination has a certain value.”

He paused for a moment when he said that, almost everyone's eyes fell on Mu Yuan's serious face, full of trust and expectation.
