When he woke up, he sat up from the bed, and his mood was a little heavy, because "The Metamorphosis" was so depressing, so depressed that it made people a little breathless.

If you want to talk about "Metamorphosis", you have to talk about its author - Kafka.

A Czech, Kafka is considered the originator of modernist literature and a pioneer of expressionist literature, and his works have an eternal theme, which is the strangeness, loneliness and fear of society.

However, Kafka's works lack overall and clear meaning, the themes are tortuous and obscure, the plot is fragmented, the ideas are incoherent, the jumps are very large, and the symbolism of the language is very strong, which brings certain difficulties to reading and understanding his works.

The Metamorphosis is arguably the most epitome of his short stories, and the general content of the book is that Gregor, a traveling salesman, wakes up one morning and turns into a beetle.

This happens, and instead of getting help from his family, the protagonist is driven back to his bedroom by his angry father in the first place.

As a beetle, he still cares about the affairs of the family, thinking about how to help his father pay off his debts and how to help his sister go to the conservatory. But as time goes on, his family becomes more and more disgusted with him, and eventually the protagonist dies of hunger and cold amid family indifference.

Although Yu Hua's "Alive" is also very depressing, people will only regret Fugui's tragedy and regret that life. Fugui's family, even in the midst of suffering, will still warm each other, which can make people see the warmth of the world.

But "Metamorphosis" is different, from beginning to end, it is the suffering of the protagonist alone, but the pain is not that the protagonist turns into a beetle and loses his human appearance, but that after he becomes a beetle, his family is outrageously indifferent.

They hated him, they hated him, they really treated him like a beetle, and they wanted him to die immediately.

The hurt from someone you love will always be deeper than the hurt from a stranger.

……

Zhuang Yan sighed, seeing such a tragic and absurd story with his own eyes, he had mixed feelings in his heart at this time.

Rubbing his eyes, he solemnly opened the door and prepared to go to the study to record the dream he had last night, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw a post-it note on the door.

It reads: Breakfast is ready, if it is cold, warm yourself up.

Zhuang Yan smiled slightly, there was breakfast, which was also an added benefit of sharing a house with Chen Jiaqing. He tore the post-it note off the door and walked to the kitchen.

Chen Jiaqing made some porridge and kept it warm in the rice cooker, but it wouldn't be cold, but she also made a little egg cake and put it on the table, which is now cold.

However, Zhuang Yan was not so particular, he took a bowl of porridge and took a cake and walked to the study.

Not to mention, although the cake is cold, but the taste is really good, the egg cake is very thin, and it is not greasy to eat, and there seem to be some cucumbers in the cake, so the entrance of the cake is a little fresh and refreshing.

After eating breakfast, Zhuang Yan dragged the keyboard and began to code words.

This time the code word Zhuang Yan chose the simple mode, he originally thought of writing the story of "Metamorphosis" from his own perspective, because he considered that the text of the original book was somewhat obscure, not to mention Chinese who were not very accustomed to the language, and even native German speakers estimated that it would be difficult to read.

But after thinking about it, Zhuang Yan still chose to write down the narration he heard in the dream, that is, the content of the original book.

It's also strange to say, although he has only heard it once, but the narration in the dream, Zhuang Yan has not forgotten a word now, it is clearly imprinted in his mind, of course, what he remembers is the version after automatic translation.

Therefore, it is not correct to say that Zhuang Yan is writing a book, what he is doing is actually the work of an entry clerk, but what he is typing is what he has in his own mind.

"Metamorphosis" has a total of more than 30,000 words, which is barely a novella, Zhuang Yan's code word speed is very fast, and after the exercise of the previous book, the speed has improved, and 30,000 words only took three hours to complete.

It took another half an hour, probably checked the typo, saved the document, then stretched, got up and ran to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

He is not going to send out this "Metamorphosis" for the time being, "Alive" has just been released, and it is not a wise choice to release a second novel so soon. At least wait until "Alive" becomes popular, so that it can also bring more popularity to the new novel.

Speaking of which, he has been busy with moving in the past two days, and he hasn't paid much attention to the matter of "Alive".

Thinking of this, he took out his mobile phone, lay on the sofa, and clicked on the "face-to-face" app on his phone.

As soon as he clicked on it, Zhuang Yan saw that there was a row of 999+ words in the message center, and comments, private messages, and likes were all 999+.

And now the number of his fans has reached more than three million, which is equivalent to a small number of fans on the eighteenth line.

Zhuang Yan was taken aback, he hadn't boarded for two days, and it became like this?

He clicked on the comments casually, checked more than a dozen from top to bottom, and found that several of them mentioned the Chinese Society.

[Zhuang Da 666666 "Alive" actually appeared in the Chinese Society. 】

[I knew "Alive" from the news of the China News Agency, and it really didn't disappoint me at a glance. 】

[Awesome, the China News Agency News reported a wave of divine assistance. 】

[President Cai did not hesitate to support the juniors, and directly sent it to the Chinese Society. 】

……

President Cai, Zhuang Yan didn't remember who it was for a while, but as for the Zhonghua News Agency, he knew that this was the most authoritative comprehensive communications organization in China today.

Chung Hwa News Agency, the full name of which is Zhonghua News Agency, is China's national news agency and statutory news regulator.

But what does it have to do with himself? Zhuang Yan edited a fof with doubts: Everyone is talking about the Chinese Society, what does the Chinese Society have to do with me?

As soon as he made this fof, his fans exploded and said that they were defeated by him.

[Zhuang Da, are you a primitive, this is already yesterday morning's news, and you are only now reacting?]

[I guess everyone in Zhuang didn't have electricity, and now they must have taken a car to the small Internet café in the town to see face-to-face. 】

[Don't be hypocritical, do you want us to praise you again?]

However, there are really people who answer Zhuang Yan's questions honestly.

[Your "Alive" was recommended by Mr. Cai Yuanpei, and he also wrote a recommended article on Xinhua News Agency, accounting for half of the cultural page of Xinhua News Agency yesterday. 】

Thanks to this answer, Zhuang Yan figured out what was going on, and finally knew that the Principal Cai in their mouth turned out to be Cai Yuanpei. As for what he said, Cai Yuanpei published a short article recommending "Alive" on Xinhua News Agency, which made him a little flattered.

Exiting "face-to-face", Zhuang Yan excitedly boarded the official website of Xinhua News Agency and clicked on the cultural section.

Sure enough, there was a big photo news on the entire culture plate, which was the cover of "Alive".

The picture is not so exaggerated as half of it, and it rotates with the other two pictures, but it is also very conspicuous.

I saw that the lower corner of the picture read-

Cai Yuanpei: A simple epic of another world, a story of struggle and survival, leaving an indelible image of cruelty and kindness.
