"Sophie's World" was sinicized by Zhuang Yan, and the characters, environment, including language style, were replaced by him with Chinese.

It's not something that can be done by simply changing the names of a few people and places, for example, in the first chapter of Eden, Sophie dislikes her looks, especially her long flaxen-colored hair, and his father will occasionally stroke her long hair after listening to Debussy's tunes and say: Flaxen-haired girl.

That's because Debussy has a prelude whose name is this.

This plot was originally intended to change the composer and change the name, but after thinking about it, there is nothing that can replace it, so I can only delete this paragraph.

But after removing the flaxen hair, it was time to express Sophie's dislike for her hair in a different way.

The hair color of Chinese is basically black, so the hair color cannot say things, only from the hair quality. Zhuang Yan designed Sophie as a girl with soft hair that will split when she stays long, short hair is more suitable for her, but she wants to have long hair, so she always has boring split hair.

This change not only does not make the story lose anything, but rather accentuates Sophie's personality. Sophie is a thoughtful, friendly, but at the same time very strict girl, she always insists on her own opinions, and only wants to say what she thinks.

This book is very long, and it is by no means something that Wang Lijian and they can read in half a day, and Wang Lijian and they naturally know about this matter, so when Wang Lijian finished reading the fourth chapter "Naturalist Philosophers", he raised his head.

Noticing that Wang Lijian raised his head, Yu Hai also raised his head, "Where did you see it?"

"Just finished reading chapter four. Wang Lijian said.

Yu Hai frowned, "I'm going to slow down, I just read the beginning of Chapter 4." Zhuang Yan said before that he wanted to write a book related to philosophy, I thought it was just a little bit related, but now it seems that this is basically a philosophy, and if I don't read some places in the middle, I can't understand it. And after reading more than three chapters, I still don't know what the main line of the story is, is it that Sophie has been receiving letters? and where is the meta-narrative of Zhuang Yan, I haven't seen it. ”

There was some distress and confusion in his tone, Wang Lijian smiled, "How much have you read just now, you don't have to worry, this book is very long, and there will be an explanation later." ”

"I'm not in a hurry, but I'm afraid that this book won't be popular with readers, because the story doesn't advance much in the first few chapters of such a long and philosophical discussion. Readers may not have the patience to read this book, and sales will not be very good. Yu Hai said what he thought.

Wang Lijian nodded, knowing that Yu Hai was looking at this book from a business perspective. But, he says, "In any case, you can't judge a book because of the first few chapters, not even if it's commercially valuable." First of all, Zhuang Yan's fame will make many people look at it. Secondly, I see that now, although I feel that there are many philosophical expositions in it, and some of them are not very transparent, this book can really attract me to continue reading. Don't you want to know who this person is who sent the letter to Sophie, and why he gave Sophie this series of philosophy lessons?"

Yu Hai thought for a while and said, "Lao Wang, what you said is also right, but the style of this story is a little different from Zhuang Yan's previous book, so I have doubts in my heart." ”

Wang Lijian smiled again: "Isn't Zhuang Yan's style always changing?"

"That's just as well!"

Yu Hai shook his head, "He, he really can't look at it with ordinary eyes." Let's take this book, although the content of the philosophy mentioned above is not very large, it can indeed be seen that he has a systematic study of philosophy. I wonder if he has studied philosophy himself, or if he has only discussed it with Liang Qichao a few times?"

"I'm afraid I've studied it before, and when he talked about Saussure at the banquet, I guessed that he must have paid attention to Western philosophical schools for a long time, and as for how deep the research is, maybe you can see it from this book. Wang Lijian pointed to the computer screen and signaled that if Yu Hai wanted to find the answer, he still had to read the book.

Yu Hai sat on the chair and maintained the posture of looking at the mobile phone screen for a while, it was a little inconvenient for the mobile phone to open the text, and the mobile phone screen was small, which hurt his eyes very much.

He rubbed his eyes, twisted his body, and said to Wang Lijian, "I'd better go back and read it, if I finish reading this book here, it is estimated that my old waist will be broken, and my old eyes will be spent." ”

Wang Lijian smiled and waved his hand, "Go ahead, this book is four or five hundred thousand words, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it today." ”

Among Zhuang Yan's many works, the number of words in this book is the most, and Zhuang Yan's lengthened "Alive" can compete with it in terms of word count.

At the same time, Wang Lijian and the others were also very surprised, Zhuang Yan wrote a book really fast, in less than a year, there were more than one million words of work.

"Let's go, go back and be trained in the philosophy course of Zhuang University writers. Yu Hai stood up with a smile and walked out of Wang Lijian's office.

After he left, Wang Lijian did not continue to read, but poured himself a cup of tea and rubbed his eyes before continuing to read. He sighed a little, he got older, his energy couldn't keep up, and he felt his eyes sour after watching it for a while just now.

Of course, it also has to do with the book itself, although there is very little philosophical expertise in the text, but it is still quite brain-consuming. The style is different from the simplicity and clarity of "Border City", but it is different from the obscurity of "Metamorphosis".

If you browse quickly, you can continue to read the story, but the philosophical theories mentioned will be ignored. Wang Lijian knows that the key to this book must be these philosophy courses, so he doesn't want to miss a word, and if he encounters something he doesn't understand, he will watch it several times.

He was conflicted in his heart, although he had read the book for so many years, he still had the urge to know the follow-up story as soon as possible, just as he asked Yu Hai before, he also wanted to know who the person who sent the letter to Sophie was, why he sent her a letter, and carried out this series of philosophy lessons for her.

Soon, however, this impulse was replaced by another emotion.

Gradually, he began to be influenced by the philosophy courses in it, and he slowly began to think about life.

In the letter, the teacher told Sophie that children were accustomed to the world long before they learned how to speak properly and how to engage in philosophical thinking. Most chéng réns take the world for granted.

Wang Lijian thought of himself, as the teacher said, he had already taken this world for granted.
