Text Chapter 261 Akemi Suzumiya's imagination
"Morning Flowers and Sunset" is a collection of essays, the prose focuses on expressing feelings, and the language is relatively soft. Although the worldview constructed by the collection of essays itself feels somewhat oppressive, the feeling of oppression does not make people feel uncomfortable.
The existence of three essays like "A Chang and the Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Mr. Fujino", and "From the Hundred Herb Garden to the Three Flavor Study" shows that the protagonist is not only disgusted with the dark society he lived in in the past, but also has many people and things in it that are worth remembering and recalling.
This is how Akemi Suzumiya feels after watching "Morning Flowers".
However, this feeling disappeared after he watched the "Scream" episode, an article called "Diary of a Madman".
Compared with prose, it pays more attention to storytelling, and each short story has its own independent world structure.
"Morning Flowers and Sunset" relied on the sum of the ten essays in it to piece together a barely complete world view, and this world view is not something that ordinary people can see.
When most people read the prose here, they will only treat each essay as a separate story, and will not associate it together. Only people with a high level of literary literacy can make associations and understand the feelings that the author wants to express.
But in this case, even if you understand it, you won't have a strong sense of substitution. Because the prose itself has no sense of substitution, the person who reads it is watching others express their own voices, and the reader is always a bystander.
And it's different, even if it's a short film, it will make people unconsciously feel a sense of substitution. When the protagonist is happy, the reader will be happy, if the protagonist is sad, the reader will be sad, and even if the protagonist is afraid, the reader will be afraid.
Therefore, when Akemi Suzumiya saw "Diary of a Madman", she was completely shocked by the cannibalistic worldview inside.
She unconsciously brings herself into the protagonist. At the beginning, the neighbors that the protagonist sees every day look at him with strange eyes, and some will say some inexplicable things. Such an experience always makes the protagonist feel a chill down his spine and an inexplicable fear in his heart.
Then, as the diary reaches the third day, when the protagonist hears that a big villain in the village has been gouged out and eaten, the protagonist realizes that the people here are cannibals. And he is also more and more afraid, because he is also a human being, and he may also be eaten.
At this point in the story, the strange behavior of the neighborhood is finally unraveled. And under the veil are blue-faced fanged, flesh-eating monsters.
On the fourth day, cannibalism was described more directly. As the only normal person, the protagonist is no longer worried all the time, while always controlling himself not to eat people, and being careful about being eaten by others.
The days passed slowly in the state of fear of the protagonist, until one day, the sister in the family disappeared. The protagonist thought he hadn't eaten it, but after thinking about it, his brother may not have mixed his sister's meat with his meal for him, and he may not have eaten a few bites inadvertently.
Therefore, the protagonist thinks that he will finally be unable to escape the fate of cannibalism, and in the end, he may not be able to escape the fate of being eaten.
…………
After reading the entire "Diary of a Madman", Akemi Suzumiya is just like the protagonist in it, she only feels a chill down her spine.
The repressive worldview is creepy, and this feeling did not disappear until Akemi Suzumiya closed the book for a long time.
But depression is depression, and she is careful, she didn't swallow dates, she didn't just watch the excitement. At first, when she only looked at the front, she thought it might be a horror or suspense. But the more she looked back, the more she felt that this one was not so simple.
The doubts of the protagonist will be solved quickly, and the answer is generally very simple, which is just the "cannibalism" mentioned in it.
Akemi Suzumiya, who has read the whole article, believes that the main purpose of this article is not to scare people with fear, let alone to attract readers with suspense. The fundamental purpose of this article is simply to shape a worldview.
As for the other elements, such as the protagonist's doubts, the protagonist's fears, the oppressive atmosphere around them, etc., they all exist to shape the worldview.
And the reason why Akemi Suzumiya has such an idea is because she saw the last sentence of the twelfth day: I have 4,000 years of cannibalism resume, although I didn't know it at the beginning, but now I understand, it's hard to see a real person!
Anyone with a little literary literacy can understand that this is an accusation, and the accusation is against the whole society at that time.
And what period of time did this refer to at that time, Akemi Suzumiya also saw it, it was April 1918.
For Akemi Suzumiya, who knows Chinese history, she knows that China at this time was in the Republic of China period, and China was already very developed and powerful at this time. So she really couldn't understand why Lu Pingfan used "Diary of a Madman" to criticize the society of that period.
Could it be that in this history of the Republic of China, is there anything she doesn't know?
If you think about it, it should be possible.
People only know that China's Kangxi Emperor was very powerful, especially in the field of science, and he was even able to single-handedly lead the world into the industrial revolution. Countless Western scientists have spent a lifetime researching various theories, and when they arrived at Emperor Kangxi, he was immediately able to put forward more advanced theories.
And those things that Western scientists can't think of, Emperor Kangxi can also invent effortlessly.
Therefore, Emperor Kangxi got many titles because of this, such as the king of invention are pediatrics, and other titles sound greater, such as 'the leader of the world's industrial revolution', 'the world's scientific development'
'A turning point in the history of the exhibition', 'Pioneers of the Industrial Age', and so on.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is a man who changed the world.
However, no matter how powerful Emperor Kangxi was in science, there was a fact that could not be changed. He was a feudal monarch, even if everyone said he was a saint, but he did not change the feudal system of the Qing Dynasty on his own.
Later, the fall of the Manchu government did not experience war, not because of how enlightened the later emperors were, but because of the gradual corruption and decline of the Qing government, which led to the arrival of the Republic of China.
When Lu Pingfan went to school to learn about history, he thought it was a little funny. Even if Emperor Kangxi came out to save the world, he still couldn't change the fate of the Qing government's corruption.
In this regard, Lu Pingfan's evaluation is that history is always strikingly similar.
Of course, what Lu Pingfan's mind had in his mind was unimaginable for Akemi Suzumiya. She only knows that no matter how holy the monarch is, feudal society is always a feudal society, and its drawbacks cannot be avoided no matter what.
"Maybe "Diary of a Madman" is just about a remote area, after all, no matter how powerful China was at that time, there would be blind spots that people couldn't see. Or, as the protagonist says, he has a history of cannibalism four years ago. Perhaps what he criticized was the entire feudal society. Akemi Suzumiya held her chin thoughtfully, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible, and she said in her heart: "The Republic of China is just a transitional period between feudal society and modern society, and from the perspective of the people of the Republic of China, it is indeed very convincing to attack the darkness of the feudal system, and it will also make people feel very real." ”
It's just that.........
Lu Jun's imagination is too rich, right? Are these all his imaginations out of thin air? And those stories in "Morning Flowers and Sunset" feel like a person's life. How did Lu Jun do it?" Akemi Lianggong couldn't help but sigh: "The degree of unscientific Lu Jun in the general feeling is comparable to that of Emperor Kangxi back then. ”
…………
"Ahh Just as Li Xiaotong came out of the recording studio, Lu Pingfan rubbed his nose and said, "I don't know who is thinking about me." ”
Li Xiaotong asked with a cute face, "Why aren't you cursing?"
Lu Pingfan looked at his sister in a daze, and he was extremely shocked to find that he couldn't refute this!
So he could only change the topic in embarrassment: "It's all superstition, superstition...... By the way, you're singing very well this time. Next time, you can officially record, you take a break first, and we'll start work right away. ”
"I don't need to rest, I feel pretty good now, and this song doesn't require a voice, it's not tired at all, it's just a lot of brains. But after getting used to the rhythm, I don't even have to bother with my brain. Li Xiaotong said calmly.
Lu Pingfan nodded and said, "Okay, let's start." ”
Then Li Xiaotong turned around and returned to the recording studio.
After that, another hour or so passed. Sitting on the first floor, Akemi Suzumiya, who couldn't help but open "The Scream" again, suddenly listened to the song in her impression and changed.
What just played was "Listen to Mom", which is also an unreleased song, which was recorded by Li Xiaotong when he was still in Star Entertainment, but no one has heard it.
Akemi Suzumiya thinks this song is very good, very warm, and makes people unconsciously relax, and even the depression after watching "Diary of a Madman" just now slowly dissipated. This is also the reason why she was able to muster up the courage to open "The Scream" again.
It's just strange that "Listen to Mom" was suddenly interrupted before it was finished, and then the prelude to another song came from the stereo.
As soon as it came up, it was the sound of the drum beating and beating, not a particularly intense rhythm, but the kind that sounded relatively gentle.
Then, Akemi Suzumiya heard Li Xiaotong's energetic voice, as if she was very excited, and rapped very hard.
"There are some things that I have forgotten, but I still remember them. ”
"One night, my mother asked me, why don't you ~don't you~ be happy today!"
…………
Akemi Suzumiya: "???"
Is this rap?
The phrase 'why are you unhappy' is too perfunctory, isn't it? Is this really what Li Xiaotong sang?
Akemi Suzumiya fell into a deep confusion.
However, the song is not over yet, and Li Xiaotong's voice continues.
The lyrics after that are also very straightforward, and the rhythm of the rap is a little more obvious at first. Gradually, Akemi Suzumiya actually started to play with him.
It's a pity that this state didn't last long, and she fell into confusion again, and the whole person froze in her seat.
At this time, the lyrics sung by Li Xiaotong were.
"I'm beating myself. ”
"It was a wonderful moment in my life. ”
"I'm going to finish my favorite dance. ”
"In this beautiful moon~light, in this beautiful street~road. ”
"I told myself that this is true~, this is not~ a dream. ”
…………
Akemi Suzumiya couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart: "So...... What about the beat? The lyrics are sung by me beating myself and then the beat is gone? You did it on purpose, did you?"
Thinking of this, Akemi Suzumiya was messy.
If it weren't for Li Xiaotong's energetic voice, which was quite good, Akemi Suzumiya wouldn't be able to listen to this song at all?
However, what is even more strange is that when the song ended, Akemi Suzumiya unconsciously began to sing.
She couldn't remember much
, can only remember a few lines of the chorus, "One step at a time, one step at a time, one step at a time, like a minion, like a devil's step, like a devil's step, rubbing rubbing, rubbing on this smooth ground, rubbing ............"
Suddenly, Akemi Suzumiya came to her senses and stopped humming.
She realized in horror that she had been brainwashed! A song that she didn't like very much after listening to it only once, was brainwashed like that!
"Could it be that this is Li Xiaotong's purpose?" Akemi Suzumiya was extremely frightened when she thought about it, and her back was cold.
At this time, Li Xiaotong and Lu Pingfan walked downstairs, and Akemi Suzumiya nervously flipped the "Scream" in her hand, not daring to look directly at the two pairs of brothers and sisters.
She always felt as if she had discovered some terrible secret, and she felt like she was going to be eaten at any time, just like in "Diary of a Madman".
In fact, she has such a nervous reaction because she just watched "Diary of a Madman". The fear brought to her by "Diary of a Madman" has not completely disappeared, but has been covered up by the previous warm songs.
And when she realized that she seemed to have discovered some secret, that feeling of fear returned, and she couldn't help but start to think wildly.
It's like a timid person who has watched a horror movie, and after a while gradually forgets it, and there is no fear of it. But once he encounters something unbelievable, the previous feeling of fear is activated and he begins to associate with it.
For example, someone watched the horror movie "Hanako in the Toilet" before, but he forgot about it for a long time. And when he went to the public toilet by himself one night and suddenly heard an unknown sound coming from the toilet, he immediately remembered the plot in the movie, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he became.
But in fact, the unknown voice was just a mop in the public toilet storage room that had not been put away and slipped.
Just like the association of Akemi Suzumiya now, in fact, what is the purpose of Li Xiaotong and Lu Pingfan? They just think it's fun.
"What's wrong with you?" Lu Pingfan saw that Akemi Suzumiya was unnatural, so he sat opposite Akemi Mizumiya and asked with a smile.
Akemi Suzumiya was a little flustered, and hurriedly replied: "It's okay, nothing!"
She was afraid that Lu Pingfan would find something and eat herself!
That's right, she's worried about that.
What she thinks about now is that Lu Pingfan can describe a cannibalistic society so realistically, does this society really exist?
Does it mean that Lu Pingfan's purpose is not to attack the darkness of society at all, but simply to tell you a story?
Tell a true story?
The more Akemi Suzumiya thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible, she looked at Lu Pingfan's smiling face, and suddenly felt that this smiling face had a feeling of green face and fangs, like the group of people in the village who were laughing!
If Lu Pingfan knew what Akemi Suzumiya was thinking, it was estimated that he would cry and laugh. He couldn't have imagined that Akemi Suzumiya was actually a person with such a rich imagination.
Abundant is a little scary.
But it's a pity that Lu Pingfan can't see through Lianggong Mingmei's thoughts. He just thought that Akemi Suzumiya would have such a reaction because he wanted to complain after listening to "My Skateboarding Shoes", but he was embarrassed to say it directly.
So he laughed and said, "The song just now is called "My Skateboarding Shoes", and I just thought it was fun, so I recorded it." ”
Li Xiaotong sat next to his brother and smiled at Akemi Suzumiya: "This song is so funny, I didn't expect my brother to write such a song." I really don't understand how he came up with it. ”
Then she also sang in an exaggerated tone: "How ~~why don't you ~~ be happy today." ”
"Hahaha!" After singing, Li Xiaotong laughed, and said while laughing: "That's it, it's really funny, do you want to try singing it too?" ”
Akemi Suzumiya was infected by Li Xiaotong's laughter, forgot about her cranky thoughts just now, and laughed softly.
She learned Li Xiaotong's tone and sang the lyrics: "How can I ~~~not ~~ be happy today!"
After singing, she couldn't help laughing.
Now, the fear from "Diary of a Madman" was finally completely left behind her. Lu Pingfan held his chin, hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and just looked at the two girls who were laughing.
He had long noticed the "Scream" in Akemi Suzumiya's hand.
After the laughter of the two girls gradually subsided, he picked up the "Scream" and asked casually, "Where did you see it?"
"Diary of a Madman" and "Kong Yiji". Liang Gong Narumi replied subconsciously, and then added: "I remember that "Kong Yiji" seems to be an article you published before, and now it has been included in the junior high school textbook of the latest curriculum reform.
You're really powerful, Lu Jun. ”
Lu Pingfan said with a smile: "Fortunately, it's just a junior high school textbook, and some high school students' articles have been included in the textbook before me, which is nothing new." ”
"But I still think Lu Jun, you are very powerful, you can reflect the whole society through a small story. This is not a skill that ordinary people can have, especially since the society in your story is still fictional, which is even more powerful. Akemi Suzumiya said with some embarrassment: "I took what was written in "Diary of a Madman" seriously just now, it's really embarrassing. ”
Lu Pingfan couldn't cry or laugh, "So the way you were scared just now, did you think I had really experienced what happened in "Diary of a Madman"?
Akemi Suzumiya blushed and nodded.
