First of all, the name of the fourth episode should be changed from "Feast at Kaifeng" to "Wildfire". This is a small matter.
Then let’s talk about the Liangshan section of Water Margin.
As far as I'm concerned, I have a habit of writing articles. The plot is not mine and I don't write it. But the standard for how the plot becomes "mine" is to be able to understand a certain image, and then it can be shaped and substituted in my mind, and then it can be
I convey my feelings freely in my own way. Usually before I write something, there will be such a digestion process.
If you want to make an analogy, there are usually some fanfics - I have read some before, but usually I don't like them, because the traces of cartoons are too heavy, and the author gave up his own things for the things that belong to animation in his heart, such as column
There are some "smells" and the like, and after reading them, readers will completely think of cartoons, which they find interesting, but in fact, this is not the way to write a book.
Of course, this is just my personal likes and dislikes.
I have no personal feelings or prejudices about Water Margin, I really don’t. Because before this, I have never read Water Margin in its entirety. Of course I have fragmentary impressions, but they are usually positive. I like Wu Song
, I like Lu Zhishen, I like Lin Chong, and I like Hu Sanniang. After initially laying out the clues about Water Margin, when faced with the third episode, I once considered whether to have a martial arts Liu Xigua appear, because at that time there was another option, which was to
When Ning Yi went north, I might be able to write about Hu Sanniang, but there were already red grapes at that time. If there were watermelons, Sanniang would be a bit redundant.
Finally I chose watermelon.
Then when the plot of Water Margin was really about to be written, I crammed in Water Margin for a while, in order to truly digest the characters and clarify the clues. I had to grasp the psychological activities of each character clearly, because for example, Ning Yi killed
Song Jiang, I not only want to be Ning Yi, but also Song Jiang. I want to regard myself as Song Jiang to make sure that he has the biggest fear in his heart... Ning Yi's nagging, many people think I am preaching to readers.
What, such as the nihilistic view of good and evil, there is no good or evil, etc., it is not the case. In fact, what Ning Yi said is: bring out the good and evil, I will kill you, put aside the good and evil, I will definitely kill you today
You, his god is holding the mouth in his mouth, in order to give Song Jiang the greatest sense of fear and trampling. When a person cannot theoretically argue about his own life, that is, when he can't even say anything, then it is against that person.
The greatest trampling on human beings. "I will kill you, please understand."
Therefore, in the process of digestion, I encountered many psychological obstacles. How did people like Qin Ming feel Song Jiang's "loyalty" and then worship him? When Hu Sanniang's family was killed and then forced to marry, in the book
What she wrote was "I feel the deep sense of loyalty from the leader..." How did she feel?
When most people comment on Water Margin, they will say that Hu Sanniang has no personality, or that Shi Naian despises women. You can comment like this, but I have to write, and I can't live like this in my heart. Everyone's mood must have cause and effect and be as reasonable as possible.
Yes, once it is written, I have to take on the role and speak for myself. I have to see clearly how his character came about. I can only try my best to make up my mind as reasonably as possible. For example, Hu Sanniang, her family was killed and her fiancé was killed. I wish you all the best.
Her family was slaughtered, and everyone she knew was killed in front of her. She may have been a more flamboyant woman before, but at this time, she was also frightened. I have only seen a woman who was frightened in front of many evil deeds.
Only the courageous ancient women could walk this line.
Then I had to think about many people's feelings and try hard to make these characters "understand". I initially thought about "accepting" some people. But later, when I really understood it, the plot developed into
In this way, many book friends attributed it to Banana being biased against the Water Margin, but there really wasn’t. Some people also weighed my likes and dislikes. In fact, my likes and dislikes are part of it, but they are really not that important.
There is a world in my mind. Of course I can push it, add some things, see how it evolves, and find interesting ways to evolve, but I never change it because of my own likes and dislikes. This section of Water Margin, more
It's a process of letting them develop on their own under laissez-faire reasoning.
Then, reading a book and assuming the role of a character can be very satisfying, and it may also be very relaxing. If you assume the role of Ning Yi, you may feel the pleasure of killing everyone - if most people feel it, it will be my success.
.But there are some things in this that I want to talk about after seeing it now.
We are the weak!
This sentence is very important, so I repeat it again: We! Are the weak!
I usually write some beautiful things, but the world and conflicts I describe are very cruel, because what I have seen myself is so cruel, so cruel that it is unreasonable. Promoting the beauty of the world is meaningless for us to do things.
, what is meaningful is that we can find beautiful things. But beautiful things are fragile. Ning Yi's methods are cruel, because some good things have been broken.
Haruki Murakami has a saying: When strength itself becomes morality, the stronger will be defeated by the stronger.
Some book friends believe in a nihilistic view of good and evil, thinking that there is no good or evil in this world, only interests and butts. I don’t like such things, but in fact, when a person comes into contact with such things, nihilism
It is easy to appear when there are many social messages and you are unable to distinguish and control your own inner morality, and it makes people feel that they are very smart. But in fact, this stage of life is usually no different from the second grade.
We are weak. Why, in fact, many of the book friends are probably very powerful themselves, or are prosperous in society, but even for such people, if we only use strength as a criterion, the stronger will always be
Exists. But if there is really no good or evil in the world, and the strong bullies the weak, maybe there really is no need for a reason.
The world is cruel, so beauty is so precious. Some things are not just playing tricks, but you need to work hard to fight for and protect them. In this world, we are all weak, and the things in our hands may be taken away.
, the good things you have may not be guaranteed. If one day someone tramples on you, can the law completely protect you? Nowadays, whoever has trouble in his family always looks for connections. For example, if you offend a billionaire,
, people may spend money and connections to kill you, and they may be able to settle things easily. There are examples all over the world. In a world with a nihilistic view of good and evil, if people want to step on you, they will step on you without restraint. Really
What can protect you, what can prevent strong people from being unscrupulous, what can make people as equal as possible, is morality.
As far as I can see, the more people have no permanent property and the more they are at the bottom of society, the more they despise morality and the concept of good and evil. But on the contrary, those who are more advanced can be somewhat respectful. I don’t think so.
Without stepping up, I am at the bottom like everyone else, and when I write these things, I feel fear.
One day, people who are pushed to the extreme can only pick up guns and kill people on the streets. They can only go to kindergartens to kill children, just like Ma Jiajue killed his classmates. One day, such a thing may happen to you and me.
Having suffered bad luck on their head, they have nowhere to go, and they become desperate and evil. The people of Liangshan are also similar to this.
But the only thing that can protect you and me is morality and good and evil. Morality and good and evil determine what everyone can and cannot do in a truly equal way. It is not necessarily to learn from Lei Feng, but to everyone.
An equal bond, what is right and what is wrong. No matter how strict the law is, it has levels. For the weak, I think we should understand this more clearly.
There may be reasons for evil in the world, but the so-called world is a whole made up of each of us. We are powerless, but we are part of it, only one part in 1.3 billion. We are all part of this evil.
.
Oh, I always want to spare no effort to say this. We may become Water Margin, but we may not become Gao Qiu. And in a society, after the bottom layer collapses, the top layer will often collapse. Throughout the past five thousand years, we have all been
You are killing yourself. In fact, the upper management may not be unaware of this situation. In recent years, they have increasingly advocated morality, imitating Lei Feng and other slogans, criticizing Pleasant Goat for being too violent... This kind of propaganda may not be effective. Many times we see
It's just irony, but maybe it's just out of the law that overcorrection is bound to go too far.
If we were in the Song Dynasty, we might not be able to do anything. When the social order ossified and collapsed, people would be inferior to dogs. But we are indeed in a new era that has not been seen in thousands of years. The reason is that everyone has read books and read books.
, will make a sound, which will be received by the above, and will cause changes. This change will be slow, not drastic. So I always want to say, we don’t want to imitate Lei Feng, we just need to speak, and speak to the right things.
If you say something right or wrong wrongly, from never saying it to saying it, there will be a huge gap in between, and society will get better.
In fact, I originally planned to talk about these things after I finished writing the whole book. Oh, in my conception, it would be a long essay, titled "Summary of the Son-in-Law: To Those Who I Love and Those Who Hate", when the whole book
This book describes the face of an era, explains clearly why a world declines, why we resist, why we fight, and why we should be patriotic, and after clarifying what patriotism is, perhaps the article will be more convincing.
But suddenly I saw some nihilistic views of good and evil, and I couldn't help but want to say something first.
This is something that is both pragmatic and pragmatic, but once you have seen it, you can actually forget it. The pragmatic aspect of it is that I think it can change the world. As long as everyone speaks, the world can be changed. The pragmatic aspect is that I
I don’t encourage everyone to learn from Lei Feng. I just hope that people can speak out about good and evil. It’s as simple as that. But of course you can forget these. I just hope that when everyone is happy and relaxed, there will be a trace of fear left.
——We are weak.
Of course, part of the evil in Liangshan people is due to the world and corrupt officials. Just like Lin Chong, when he was forced to that extent, he could only rebel. In terms of his blood feud, there is no limit to the reasons for revenge against his enemies.
There is no lower limit, but he cannot go to the capital to die with Gao Qiu. Whether he can't do it or doesn't want to die, it can be understood. And on Ning Yi's side, there are the same legitimate reasons. Because when things really come to pass
When it comes to someone, all that's left is resistance. If the truth makes sense, please speak the truth. If the truth doesn't make sense, please resist with all your strength. Resistance must be so fierce.
This is my "Water Margin". I only guarantee that I have sincerely understood it. Some people will think that they understand it differently. Some people think that I just like Lu Zhishen. That is everyone's freedom. There are also people in the book review area.
I believe that the protagonist, as a modern person, should tolerate ancient people and promote universal values. If someone wants to kill all of you, whether they kill them all or only half of them, after this fact, are you willing to follow him?
Promote universal values and forgive him inclusively. That is also your freedom and it is none of my business...
Ah, I almost forgot to ask for votes! Please give me monthly votes, everyone^_^rs
