This kind of arrogance of advanced civilization can actually be seen everywhere.
The sages have long said that you are not a fish, and you know how happy a fish is.
Not to mention conflicts between species, conflicts can also occur between different populations of the same species, and differences in civilization can lead to many misunderstandings.
Wang Yu flipped through the new book and looked at the time again. It was already half past ten. He had to get up early to go to work tomorrow, so he had to prepare for bed now.
It was as if I had returned to the real world from a fantasy world. One second I was swimming in a science fiction world, and the next second I had to return to the real world and struggle repeatedly.
But if you think about it carefully, this may also be the fun of fantasy novels, which can take people to see a world they may never see in this life.
…
In fact, the version of "Speaker for the Dead" that readers see is not the original version. Many things in it have been changed by Zhang Zhong.
On the one hand, it was because some of the things in it were no longer in line with this era, and on the other hand, Zhang Zhong didn’t agree with some of the things in it, so he changed it himself.
For example, at the end, the conflicts between the races were resolved by sending representatives from several races to talk together. This was a bit unrealistic.
Zhang Zhong knew that the reason why Orson wrote it this way was probably to highlight the hero and create a sense of drama.
However, Zhang Zhong still revised this paragraph. More contact and exchanges between races and external forces are needed to achieve some kind of temporary balance.
This slightly weakens Ender's role in this matter.
Moreover, the original work contains a lot of discussions about religion, but the version revised by Zhang Zhong contains much less content in this regard.

"Dad, they say the fourth Saturday in March is your holiday every year because you sell a lot of books, right?"
Zhang Zhong went to school to pick up Pengpeng from school. As soon as he got in the car, Pengpeng couldn't wait to ask this question.
"This is not a festival, it can only be regarded as some kind of anniversary, just like the day you and Liu Minya agreed to play together every year." Zhang Zhong said with a smile.
Pengpeng and Minya played together very frequently, but there happened to be a time when both of them were busy with their own affairs. It seemed like they had not played together for more than a month.
Later, Pengpeng suggested that we agree on a time in the future to play together no matter how busy we are.
And this day is called by them "the day we must be together every year."
Pengpeng patted his head, "Oh, Dad, I almost forgot what day it is if you didn't tell me..."
"October 17th." Zhang Zhong reminded.
"Yes, yes, it's October 17th. We have made an appointment. No matter what we have to do on October 17th this year, we must play together. If anyone doesn't come, he must play with his favorite
Give the doll to the other party." Pengpeng said.
"Then you must not forget it, otherwise your father will not buy you a new one when you lose your doll." Zhang Zhong said with a smile.
"I know, it's marked on the calendar in my room. I won't forget it," Pengpeng said.
"OK."
"By the way, Dad, and there will be celebrations in many places on the fourth Saturday of March next year, just like our Chinese New Year. Can we go there and play together then?" Pengpeng asked.
Zhang nodded and said, "Of course, you can remember this. When that day comes, dad will take you there to play."
Pengpeng nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, I remember."
After returning home, Pengpeng took a marker and found the fourth Saturday of March on the calendar and marked it.
Seeing her mark, Zhang Zhong smiled and said, "If you mark this year's calendar, can you see it next year?"
Pengpeng thought for a while, patted his head and said, "Yeah, what should I do? Do I have to buy a new calendar for next year?"
"I'm afraid it's not easy to buy next year's calendar now," Zhang Zhong said.
Pengpeng said with a bitter face, "What should we do?"
Zhang Chong said with a smile, "You have to figure this out yourself, I don't know what to do either."
…
In a blink of an eye, time has come to April 1st, and it is April Fool’s Day again.
This year, apart from all kinds of popular fake news on the Internet, what Zhang Zhong’s readers are most concerned about is a book that Zhang Zhong tricked everyone into last year.
At that time, Zhang Zhong recorded a video, falsely claiming that he found a strange book without a name in a so-called book tomb.
Moreover, Zhang Zhong compiled it in a decent way at that time, saying that the book was published in 1942, and that the bookstore where it was published was Zixu Bookstore, and only fifty copies were printed at that time.
And Zhang Zhong also read some of the fragments himself. From the fragments that Zhang Zhong read, it can be seen that this book tells the story of a perverted murderer.
At that time, this book aroused the interest of many readers, but later Zhang Zhong said that it was just an April Fool's Day joke and that there was no such book.
Although Zhang Zhong said this, readers have not forgotten this matter.
Many people have been advocating that Zhang Zhong complete the stories he had read at that time, because they found them very interesting and the plots very exciting.
April Fool's Day is here again this year, and many readers have raised concerns about this matter, so I bring it up again.
At first, readers just called for Zhang Zhong to rewrite the story, but later it evolved into another situation.
[I don’t think there is much hope of completing this book, so everyone should read the continuation by fans themselves.]
[That’s true, but I don’t know why, but I feel like I hope to be fooled by Zhang Zhong this year. 】
[That’s right, that’s right. When I remembered early this morning that today was April Fool’s Day, I was looking forward to it. I didn’t know how Mr. Zhang would fool us today. 】
[Let me go, are you all masochists? 】
[No way, it was really interesting to watch his video last year. I feel like last year was the most interesting April Fool’s Day I ever had. 】
[You guys think it’s bullshit. Since he did it last year, how could he do it again this year? Isn’t it obvious that you don’t believe him? 】
[How about we act together with him and pretend to be deceived by him? 】
[Let me go, how stupid do you think Zhang Da is?]
【This is our love. No matter what, I am willing to be deceived by Zhang Da.】
[It’s over, it’s over, there shouldn’t be any April Fool’s Day program this year.]
[Yeah, it’s almost afternoon. Didn’t you say you can only wait until 12 noon? 】
[Well, it is now 11:51 p.m., and there are still nine minutes left. After these nine minutes, there will be no hope for today. 】
[Do you think a miracle may happen in these nine minutes? 】
