Among them, there is a reply post, which was written by Chen Xianyong, a heavyweight red science expert in China.

He clearly believes that the existing so-called "Gao E's version of the last forty chapters" was actually originally written by Cao Xueqin, not Gao E's continuation.

The fact that "the Dream of Red Mansions is missing the last forty times" is wrong, and naturally, the statement that "the real last forty times have been found" is also wrong.

Chen Xianyong's post said: "From a writer's point of view, it is impossible for such a complicated book to be continued by another person. ”

"In the last 40 rounds that are now in circulation, there are many similar places that can be connected, but of course there are some contradictions, which are relatively few. He believes that in the last forty episodes, everyone's fate will develop roughly according to what Jia Baoyu saw in the too illusory realm: Qingwen was driven out and died unjustly, cherished the spring and became a monk, and explored the spring to marry.

In fact, the statement that the last forty episodes of the Red Chamber came from Gao E's hand mainly comes from Hu Shi.

According to Hu Shi's research, there is a person named Zhang Wentao, who took the township test in the same year as Gao He and wrote a poem "Gift to Gao Lanshu in the same year". One of the sentences mentions that "the glamorous lover talks about the Red Mansion", and notes that "after the eighty episodes of "Dream of Red Mansions", Julan Villa made up for it".

Hu Shi believes that the meaning of "supplement" is interpreted as "to continue to supplement", so the last forty chapters were all written by Gao E. This statement spread, and the impact was great.

However, there are also those who disagree.

For example, Lin Yutang believes that the last forty chapters of the Red Chamber were written by Cao Xueqin, and Gao He only made changes.

Chen Xianyong, who also holds this view, naturally does not agree with the correctness of the statement that "forty times after discovering the real Dream of Red Mansions".

Of course, he also read through the books on the Internet, and agreed that this new version has high literary value.

Chen Xianyong also found that in the last forty episodes of Shuying, many plots are consistent with the last forty episodes of the earlier version. It's just that the fate of individual characters is different. Comparatively, the newly discovered version of the character's fate is more tragic and realistic.

He speculated that the newly discovered version of the Red Chamber may only be a version of Cao Xueqin's writing process of "reviewing it for ten years and adding and deleting it five times", and it is not necessarily the final draft.

Cao Xueqin must have written many versions in the process of creating "Dream of Red Mansions".

Judging from Cao Xueqin's personal experience, and her consistent compassion, sympathy and respect for female characters, the current ending is more "gentle", which may be more in line with Cao Xueqin's original intention, and should be the final version.

Chen Xianyong's post has also been recognized by many people.

There are also those who oppose Chen Xianyong.

Some of those who oppose it fiercely believe that in the final analysis, the level of poetry and writing in the last 40 chapters of the current general version is not as good as that of the first 80 chapters.

Those who can't see the difference in writing in the last forty rounds are illiterate.

Start Ginseng Attack Mode.

......

The Internet is boiling with speculation.

Offline, several universities such as Beijing, Shuimu, and Fudan have set up special research teams to conduct academic research on the new version of the Red House discovered by Han Zhou.

Closed-door study.

Han Zhou inquired, and many professors agreed that what he found was the real last forty times.

There are also a few professors who believe that it can only be determined that it is a version with high value, and it may indeed be written by Cao Xueqin, but it cannot be asserted that it is the real final draft. Research needs to be rigorous.

It is expected that the research will take one or two months, and then the results of the study will be released to the public.

......

Outside the professional, non-professional research circles.

Bean sauce, literary and artistic youth, is also discussing this new "Forty Times after the Red Chamber".

They are more emotional (full and idle) and keen to discuss the tragic fate of Baochai, Baoyu, Xiangyun and others.

Generally hate Baochai. It is believed that feudal women are not independent enough and have no feminist spirit. Die well deserved.

Everyone likes Lin Daiyu. I hope I am Lin Daiyu (appearance and talent, of course I don't want Lin Daiyu's fate).

To Baoyu.

Some people think that it is the son of Xunshijia. This is a classical view.

Some people think it's a crying mom boy. This is an affirmative action.

Quarrel non-stop.

......

Han Zhou has returned to the capital, Xishan Longyin Villa.

Enter the games room.

No lights on, eerie.

Han Zhou turned on the light and was about to play a game.

Suddenly, I found that it was a little cold behind me.

It's as if you're being watched by something.

Look back.

Han Zhou stood up suddenly.

An octopus the size of a basketball sticks to the glass of the fish tank, staring at him.

Hold the grass.

Han Zhou was a little stunned for a while.

A sentence inexplicably came to mind:

"In the RGB glittering game room, in the glass fish tank, the basketball-sized coconut octopus is waiting for you to fall asleep!"

The reason why this idea came to mind、This sentence。

It's because Han Zhou subconsciously thinks of Cthulhu.

Cthulhu, an existence in the Cthulhu mythos created by the American H.R. Lovecraft, is one of the old rulers.

It is represented by a large winged octopus.

Cthulhu sleeps in the underwater city of Lalayer in the South Pacific, but due to the cosmic phase or other external factors, sometimes the city will break the seal and appear at sea. However, since the seal was not completely unlocked (or to wait for the clan to wake up), Cthulhu could not stay away from Laleiye, and when the stars changed and the power of the seal was restored, he would return to Laleye to continue his sleep.

While asleep, Cthulhu occasionally uses telepathy to make contact with unspecified humans at a distance. Humans who come into contact with Cthulhu are generally quite sensitive, and many of them go berserk because of psychic contact when they hear inexplicable babbling.

The so-called whisper is "in the eternal abode, in Lalaie, the sleeping Cthulhu Ru sleeps".

Han Zhou shook his head and cleared these strange thoughts.

Come to the fish tank.

It was found that there were a lot less fish and shrimp.

This basketball-sized octopus is chewing a small fish in its mouth.

The food is delicious.

Han Zhou glanced at it a few more times, only to find that the "small pyramid" he had found before had been forgotten in the fish tank and had not been taken out.

Han Zhou took out the small pyramid. Wipe clean. Put it in the safe.

Go back to the games room and play the game.

New game, Cyberpunk 2077.

is a game with a near-future cyberpunk setting.

The so-called cyberpunk, that is, Cyberpunk, is a combination of words. Cyber means cybernetics, a bit of a computer, computer background, and Punk means rebellious, rebellious. "Steampunk" is also a combination of words made in the same way.

The cyberpunk background is generally in the future, and the technology is extremely developed, with various prosthetic limbs and prosthetics, and body parts can be easily replaced. And there are chips to assist human thinking.

But the social system is unevenly distributed, and it is generally the so-called technological monopoly oligarchy that dominates the world. Ordinary people live a hard life and are exploited.

Han Zhou used the newly bought 3080 to play games, and the light and shadow effects were very good.

Very immersive.

While playing, Han Zhou suddenly remembered something and looked back.

Sure enough, the octopus, which had evolved to the size of a basketball, was staring at the computer screen again, watching with relish.
