After being busy with the establishment of yh software company, our tycoon Zhang Zhonghua was free again, so he started writing again.
What he is going to write this time is also based on a very well-known movie he watched in his previous life, which is the redemption of someone.
However, Zhang Zhonghua had only watched the movie and not the original version, so he did something rather crazy, which was to contact a similar prison and move in by himself.
Firstly, I came here to find inspiration, knowing that it is different from movies, and at the same time, it makes it more relevant to this era.
Secondly, it is also to create a gimmick. A well-known writer personally went to prison to write about it. What a selling point. If this would have dominated the hot search list before Zhang Zhonghua was reborn.
As expected by Zhang Zhonghua, the entire U.S.A. and even Europe and Southeast Asia were talking about this matter and were looking forward to the new book.
After it was completed, it was taken away by the publishing house and urgently typed and printed for sale, and then it became popular all over the country.
New York.
Katie Lucki looked at the brand new ones in her hands and fell into deep thought. In her heart, she admired the intelligence of the protagonist Andy. He was really a charming, persevering and talented man.
"Life boils down to a simple choice: get busy surviving or get busy dying.
This sentence is really insightful. Survival is very difficult, and being able to breathe freely is so wonderful."
Katie Leclerc said with emotion.
"Yeah, if it wasn't Zhang Zhonghua, I never thought that freedom is so precious, but we don't know how to cherish it. Everyone is his own God. If you give up on yourself, who else will save you?
Everyone is busy, some are busy living, some are busy dying. You who are busy chasing fame and fortune, busy with daily necessities, stop and think for a second: Is your brain already institutionalized? You
Where is God?"
exclaimed a colleague sitting next to Katie Lucklazy.
"Are you also watching Zhang Zhonghua's "Redemption"?"
Katie Lucrechi asked in surprise.
"Yes, at first it was just my wife watching it at home. He is a die-hard fan of Zhang Zhonghua's books. Later I started watching it too. It is really an excellent movie.
Librarian Brooks is a very shocking character.
Old Boo's life is so touching and memorable. He spent most of his life in prison and was finally paroled to freedom. However, once he left the familiar environment and familiar people of Shawshank Prison, he could not feel the meaning of life.
Old Boo's soul has long been strangled by Shawshank Prison, and in the end he can only choose to disappear from this world that no longer belongs to him."
Colleague Katie Luck was very moved when she thought about the life after Lao Bu was released from prison.
"There's something funny about prison walls: first you hate them, then you get used to them, and then enough time passes, you become dependent on them.
This is institutionalization. It's a pity that Lao Bu entered prison at a very young age. At that time, he only saw one car. However, after he was released from prison..."
Katie Luck said with regret.
"I still don't know what those two Italian girls were singing. Having said that, I don't want to know either. Some things don't need to be explained in words. I believe it's because its beauty is beyond the scope of words.
It's so beautiful that it will break your heart. All I can tell you is that the sound reaches into the sky, higher and farther than anyone in this dark corner can dream of. It's like a beautiful bird flying into us.
The boring cage and the high walls disappeared into the invisible. It was at that moment that every delinquent in Shawshank touched freedom."
This is when another colleague of theirs also joined the chat and couldn't help but talk about the classic lines and plot in the movie. This is really a classic.

Washington.
"I look back at the past. I want to communicate with the little fool who committed a serious crime and let him understand, but I can't. The boy has long since disappeared, leaving only my old body."
A black customer read the words in the book and said, Red was really miserable. Every time he applied for parole, he was rejected for ten years, ten years, and ten years. How frustrating it was.
“I was so excited that I couldn’t sit still and kept thinking, how can a free man be so excited, a free man embarking on an unknown journey?
I hope to successfully cross the border, I hope to shake hands with old friends, and I hope the Pacific Ocean is as blue as in my dreams."
Why does Red keep applying for parole and being rejected? Isn't it because Red is black? Damn democracy and freedom, damn equality for everyone.
The colleagues around me became more and more excited as they watched me say, "No matter what you want to do, I will support you. You are our leader now."
"Fear makes you a prisoner, hope makes you free. Having hope is a good thing, maybe the best thing. When you have hope, there is always hope."
San Francisco.
A white man stood numbly on the bridge, staring blankly at the rushing water under the bridge. He felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, and flashed various emotions such as nervousness, fear, and excitement from time to time.
Countless passers-by stopped around, counting in their minds how many people have jumped into the sea from the Golden Gate Bridge this year. How could such a beautiful scenic spot become a holy place for suicides?
"Bad luck is everywhere, and there will always be someone who happens to encounter it. It just happens to be your turn. You just blocked the path of the hurricane, but I didn't expect that the storm would last so long."
A black policeman slowly approached him and spoke to him softly.
He couldn't help but think in his mind that you are seeking death and survival. Andy spent 20 years in prison before digging a tunnel to escape. You are still free. What is there to think about?
"Things that make you sad, one day you will say it with a smile. Brother, come down quickly. If there is anything you can't think about, then I recommend you a wonderful book "Redemption". If you still want to read it after reading it,
If you want to dance, we will never stop you."
said a white police officer.
After reading this, you will definitely understand how wonderful life is now, and how precious freedom is. The setbacks we encounter are far different from Andy's.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is the first time for many people to watch "Redemption". I don't know what kind of content makes the two police officers so highly praised, and there are two types: a black man and a white man.
Recommended by completely different people at the same time.
""Redemption" is Zhang Zhonghua's latest film, which interprets the true meaning of hope and freedom... Andy's redemption journey is full of despair and extremely heavy. In this process, what is it that makes him not feel guilty when facing injustice?
I felt wronged, did not become violent when faced with oppression, did not feel desperate when faced with difficulties, but always maintained a calm mentality..."
A tourist who had seen it explained it to passers-by and strongly recommended everyone to read this book. It is really a rare and excellent work.
…
San Francisco, Alcatraz Prison.
"Before I came in, I saw that the writing was super exciting. It is very popular outside. What's more, it describes a prison. It's so inspiring."
The inmates at Alcatraz Island listened to the new resident's account of what happened outside. No matter how exciting the broadcast was, it was just a fantasy. The new inmates who could enter Alcatraz Island were still at a certain level.
"These walls are very strange. When you first come here, you will hate them, but slowly you will get used to them. As time goes by, you will find that you can't live without them. The sun shines on your shoulders, and you feel like a free man."
Several inmates looked at the new inmate in surprise. This sentence was so insightful. Those who have not lived in prison for decades would never have such a profound understanding.
One sentence spoke to everyone's heart. The sun shone on their shoulders, as if they were free people, as if... free people.
Within a short period of time after the publication of "Redemption", it developed an unparalleled charm and fascinated countless people.
With the popularity of "Redemption", Zhang Zhonghua got an unexpected appointment in Santa Clara, from the head of Hollywood giant Columbia Pictures.
Zhang Zhonghua was a little surprised. "Redemption" was released by Columbia Pictures in 1995. There was a gap of 26 years. It was a little too hasty for Columbia Pictures to come to us again.
However, what Zhang Zhonghua did not expect was that this book originally appeared in the 1980s, so it was not released until 1995, but he himself made this book available to the world more than ten years in advance.
Moreover, only the Chinese version has been released, and other language versions of the book are not yet on sale. Is this because Colombia has seen the potential to win an Academy Award and has come here to pick up the missing ones?
