Throwing the newly bought magazine on the coffee table, Lin Han couldn't wait to go to the bathroom to take a shower, clean the sweat on his body, and walked out wrapped in a bath towel. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After he didn't write a book at this time, he was a little confused, and the whole person seemed listless, even if the psychology books he bought were delivered, he didn't bother to study them.

"Bouquet for Algernon" is to seriously understand the psychology of a mentally handicapped man, and the translation that Lin Han read at the beginning was indeed well translated, but he also wanted to write the most real feelings.

So an idea flashed into his mind, to actually see a real sanatorium or rehabilitation center, to see how those people usually live, if he could know his inner thoughts from their mouths, it would definitely have a good effect on writing!

And in this way, he can also contribute his own strength to this special group of people, so that more people can see the living conditions of the mentally handicapped, let the society accept them, and let these mentally handicapped people find a foothold.

The mentally handicapped, also known as the mentally handicapped, are in a very poor employment situation, and even only 2% of the mentally handicapped can find a job, and their work is basically simple and repetitive manual work.

Such a group is often misunderstood, bullied, and ridiculed, and their ability to integrate into society is very weak, and the level of acceptance of society is the lowest.

Charlie, the protagonist of the novel, works in a bakery, he mainly bakes bread, and also has the responsibility of delivering and cleaning, and the bakery is also one of the important scenes in the novel, which is where the protagonist interacts with the rest of the characters.

So, he couldn't wait to dial Chen Jiaxuan's phone, "My dear, is there anyone in your studio who is free, help me make an appointment to arrange something." ”

"What do you want to do?"

"I want to go to the places where people with intellectual disabilities are supported by employment in Yanjing, work with them, chat with them, and learn about them, so that what I write will be more realistic. ”

Chen Jiaxuan was silent for a while, she didn't say that Lin Han was crazy, but felt that it was necessary, no book could be written out of thin air, she had seen many actors in the entertainment industry to experience life to increase the real infection of acting skills, why didn't Lin Han's actions be like this?

"Then I'll ask Xie Xin to contact, she just hasn't had anything to do recently. ”

"That's fine, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, am I a superhero?"

"Come on, you have a good rest, I'll come back early in the evening, let's go for a massage together, I've only been on work for a day, and my whole body is sore!" Chen Jiaxuan complained slightly, adapting to the rhythm of vacation, and suddenly returned to busy work, which was indeed very unaccustomed.

Lin Han said into the phone: "Don't work too hard, reduce the workload, I can support you." ”

"Needless to say, I still have to contact L'Oréal, and finally vacate a position as a spokesperson, so I have to try it. ”

"Come on, I've got your back!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Han found the feeling he wanted, if writing a novel could help that group of people, it would be the happiest thing for him.

After Xie Xin on the studio's side received the task, he was completely confused, and he couldn't understand why Lin Han, a science fiction writer, wanted to go to a place where he worked with mentally retarded people.

But as an assistant, the most important thing is to do things, not ask why. So she got in touch with the people of the Disabled Persons' Federation after several turnovers, and the staff there knew that it was Lin Han, a great writer, who was going to experience life, and her attitude suddenly became very cordial, not only full of promises, but even introduced the person in charge of Yanjing City.

After Lin Han got the address given over there, he couldn't help but purse his mouth, "The name Forrest Gump Restaurant sounds very interesting, I don't know if I can cultivate many self-improvement Forrest Gump." ”

Forrest Gump's name comes from Tom Hanks's well-known movie Forrest Gump, in which the protagonist Forrest Gump is a born mentally retarded patient, but he has created many miracles in life and touched the whole United States.

Maybe this is also a material that can be observed, Lin Han has seen it twice before, but because the aura of the protagonist has not been carefully studied, it can be studied carefully in the future to see what the way the United States treats the mentally retarded.

It is better to choose a day than to hit the day, Lin Han called Ms. Hu Yanping, the person in charge of the restaurant, and he said: "Hello Ms. Hu, I am Lin Han who contacted you before. ”

"Mr. Lin, I know you, we also have your novels in the restaurant, but unfortunately I don't understand them. ”

"Ms. Hu, I want to ask if it's inconvenient to come to the restaurant now, I want to come and experience it. ”

"Anytime, welcome, welcome!"

"Okay, I'll pack up my things and come over at once, and I'll be your waitress when the time comes. "Lin Han used to be there to get close to those people, not to receive services.

……

When he drove to Forrest Gump's restaurant, he found that the 300-square-meter restaurant was very open, and the waiters in half-sleeved and aprons were busy shuttling around, and they could not see any trace of low IQ.

As a supported employment training base for the mentally disabled in Yanjing, more than a dozen mentally handicapped people who have passed pre-job professional training have become employees in Forrest Gump's restaurant, mainly responsible for serving food, cleaning, carrying and other work.

Lin Han watched these waiters in black short-sleeved overalls shuttling between the back kitchen and the employment area, serving food and cleaning the dining table in an orderly and busy manner.

There were already people waiting at the restaurant for a long time, and Hu Yanping couldn't help but say after seeing Lin Han: "Although I don't know why you want to come here to experience it, we always welcome more people to get to know them." They are not easy, and labor can change everything. ”

"Yes, a lot of the families of people with intellectual disabilities think that they can get a subsistence allowance at home, and it's amazing that they can come out and work on their own, and they do a very good job. Lin Han said with praise.

Yu Ying, the cashier on the side, didn't know Lin Han's identity very well, but she was naturally outgoing and said approvingly: "They can basically remember these table numbers, make fewer and fewer mistakes, and become more and more polite to customers, no longer going to work at five or six o'clock in the morning." ”

"They are very enthusiastic about their work, they are never lazy to pass the food, they find their own work to do, and as soon as they have a meal, they take the initiative to turn off the lights, saying that they want to save electricity and protect the environment, and clean up the hygiene. ”

Lin Han looked at these waiters, and the smiles on their faces couldn't be faked at all, and they became cheerful and confident.

After changing into the dress of a waiter, Lin Han officially joined them and began to talk to Xingfu, Jixiang and others.

……

Chen Jiaxuan got off work early and was ready to go for a massage together, but Lin Han was not seen left and right, and no one even answered the phone, she was a little anxious.

If Xie Xin hadn't told her that Lin Han would go to the so-called Forrest Gump restaurant to experience life, I'm afraid Chen Jiaxuan would be restless.

After Lin Han dragged his tired body home in the evening, he said in great spirits: "My dear, I have gained a lot from this day alone, I have an explosion of inspiration at this moment, and I have to go to the study to write something." Feel free to do whatever you want, just leave me alone. ”

Sitting in the study, Lin Han turned on the light music, and the soothing music swept away his impatience, and Lin Han, who calmed down and thought, made up his mind that he wanted to keep "Bouquet for Algernon" as original as possible.

In other words, Charlie is still Charlie, and the background is still the future abroad. Good science fiction doesn't become ridiculous because of the passage of time, technological advancements, and it doesn't change much because of the background of the characters.

The names Charlie and Algernon left a deep impression, and if they were to be modified, I am afraid that Lin Han himself would not be used to it.

"The first chapter starts now

PROGRESS REPORT 1 [3 March]

Dr. Strauss said that I should start writing down what I thought and remembered in my head and what else happened. I don't know why he wanted me to do it, but he said it was important, and I wrote it down so they could find out if they could use me. I wanted to be hired, and Miss Kenyon said I might be smarter to do that job, and I wish I could be smarter. My name is Charlie Gordon and I work at Mr. Dona's bakery, and he gives me eleven pieces a week, and if I follow for bread or dengo, he will give it to me. ”

The first report of the first chapter is the general background of the characters, and the novel is written in the form of a self-description, Charlie Gordon, male, 32 years old, about to turn 33, this report is what he recorded as if he were writing an essay in an adult mentally retarded class.

In it, Lin Han deliberately wrote a few typos, writing "smart" as smart and "cake" as dan gao, which is in line with his identity of not being able to write complex words.

If some obsessive-compulsive readers were allowed to read this, maybe they would break down and come to Lin Han with a knife to correct these typos.

After getting into the state, Lin Han wrote very fast, he began to write progress report 2, Charlie went to Professor Nimes's studio to take the exam, and looked at the contents of the card in the office of the psychology department.

The images that could be imagined from the irregular ink dots were a primitive stimulus test that most people could tell, but Charlie didn't, and he was a little frustrated, thinking that he probably hadn't passed the exam.

In the process of writing, Lin Han felt that it was particularly awkward to deliberately change the correct text into typos, which used to check the article for typos, but now he deliberately wrote "experiment" as "stone test" and "I don't know" as "not small".

The first chapter was written very quickly, and if you read the first chapter alone, if you don't write Lin Han's name, I guess all readers will think that this is a primary school student writing an essay! )
