When Lin Zhan got home, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. Fortunately, the bookstore was not closed. On the way home, he went to the bookstore and bought a copy of "The Ordinary World".
Seeing the thickness of the book, he knew that it would take him a long time to finish reading it.
Since starting to work, he has less and less time to read. When he was in school, whenever he saw people who were out of society complaining that they had no time to read, he would always secretly despise him in his heart, saying that even when he was at work, every day
You can always spare a few hours to read a book, the key is whether you want to read or not.
But the reality is completely different from what he thought. The work of 996 has tortured him to a point of neurasthenia these days. When he got home, he didn't even want to take a shower, let alone read a book.
In the past six months, except for Zhang Zhong's book, he has not read any other people's books.
He feels that he is really a true fan, and under such circumstances, he can still insist on Zhang Zhong publishing a book and he reading one.
Thinking back to the contempt he had for those people when he was in school, he felt a little ashamed. Things always seemed easy to him but difficult to do.
This book was too thick, and he estimated that he would have to wait until at least next year to finish it.
When he reads, he likes to finish a book in a short time. If he is asked to wait for a long time to finish a story, he will go crazy. So looking at the "Ordinary World" in front of him, he hesitated, how about...
Wait until you get home from vacation and have time to watch it?
After thinking about it, Lin Zhan couldn't help himself and opened the first page of the book.
Lin Zhan is an omnivore when it comes to reading books. He reads basically any book, so he likes Zhang Zhong very much because the books written by Zhang Chong cover many genres and often give him some new experiences.
…
In the brightly lit city, there are many young people like Lin Zhan who return home tired and read "The Ordinary World".
Some people were lying on the bright desks, some were half lying on soft mattresses, and some were squinting lazily around the heater.
On this day, "The Ordinary World" met many people. They may be of different ages, genders, and situations, but they all encountered this book unexpectedly.
Young people may be a little confused when they read this book, but they can understand the hardships of Sun Shaoping's study, because they are also at this stage. In their youth, they can also understand the secret love between Shaoping and Hao Hongmei.
Ignorant, although times have changed, love has always had an eternal truth.
Young people can feel the difficulties of struggling for life in Sun Shaoping's studio, Tian Runye's tortuous emotional life, and the almost humble despair faced by Sun Yuhou, who makes them feel terrible just thinking about it.
The old man was deeply saddened, but laughed it off.
…
Lin Zhan felt that his nose was a little sore, but the tears had not overflowed from his eyes. It was not until he saw the scene between Sun Shaoan and Run Ye that the tears finally flowed down uncontrollably.
"After thinking about it, Sun Shaoan really wanted to find a place where no one was around, hold his head and cry alone! How happy he was that his dear Runye actually wrote him such a letter. But how unfortunate he was, he couldn't
He agreed to live with the person who loved him and whom he loved, but he didn't even have the time to cry..."
That era, that kind of love, and now are like two parallel time and spaces, with no trace of disconnection between them.
But Lin Zhan looked at the past like a spectator from a distance, and the feelings between Shaoan and Runye touched his heart through time and space.
That's what reading is like, watching the most beautiful things in the world be easily shattered by reality, the feeling of powerlessness will spread throughout the body.
…
As time went by, as New Year's Eve approached, many people finally finished reading the book "The Ordinary World".
It was like a competition among Zhuang Yu and the others. The day after Yu Dongyu stopped reviewing books, they also competed to post book reviews.
The most famous among them is Liu Yuan's book reviews.
Because it has been a long time since everyone has seen Liu Yuan writing seriously, especially writing a review of a book like "The Ordinary World".
"This is a book that belongs to ordinary people. This is a book that belongs to everyone."
Liu Yuan did not show his humor this time to make fun of it, but wrote a really emotional review.
And he writes very carefully.
If "The Ordinary World" is a panoramic novel, then Liu Yuan's book review is a panoramic book review.
He wrote almost all the characters in the book, including some less important characters.
In his book reviews, he analyzed rationally, but also showed his emotions from time to time, including admiration, regret, anger, and sadness.
At the end of the book review, Liu Yuan wrote:
"Finally, I would like to thank Zhang Zhong for giving people the inner strength that allows us to bounce back above the sea level even if we fall as deep as the Mariana Trench, and then run to the height of Mount Everest."
When many readers saw the last sentence, the power originally mobilized by Liu Yuan in their chest suddenly broke down.
This last sentence seems to be just a metaphor, but after Liu Yuan said it, for some reason, it felt quite interesting, as if the water god had been holding it in for a long time and finally became silent.
Big bosses wrote reviews of the book, and fans kept expressing their feelings.
[Thank you Zhang Zhong for giving me such warmth in the cold winter. 】
【Who knows how many times I have cried, and my books are all wrinkled now.】
[My favorite is Sun Shaoping. No matter what situation he is in, he can persist in studying.]
【Continuously beating and constantly getting up, the final ending is not satisfactory at all, but it can make people feel the warmth and strength in it.】
[I announce that the most touching novel of the year has been pre-ordered by "The Ordinary World".]
[Where should "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood" and "Border Town" be placed?]
【Brother, it’s already 2021.】
[I advise those students who are in their third year of high school to be prepared. Maybe there will be another test question for this year's college entrance examination "The Ordinary World."
[Ahem, even if there are test questions, how do you prepare for such a long novel? Do you have to memorize the entire text? 】
[The guy who recited the full text made me laugh, hahaha.]
[It’s enough to understand the spirit. If you have read the book and have the reading comprehension by then, wouldn’t it be easy to grasp it? 】
[To put it simply, even if you give Zhang Zhong a question, he probably won’t be able to solve it.]
[Didn’t Zhang Zhong’s book be made into a movie? I really want this book to be made into a movie. 】
[The length of the movie is probably not enough. This is at least a TV series with dozens of episodes.]
[If a TV series is made, who do you think is more suitable to play Sun Shaoan?]
…
"You have been slacking off these past two days. If you continue like this, your daily mine clearing time will be reduced to ten minutes."
Pengpeng hasn't been able to draw properly these past two days. She went outside while drawing and thinking. Zhang Zhong took the opportunity to scold her when suddenly his cell phone rang. He took it out and looked at it. It was a call from Tong Can.
