Some readers just think the story is good, but they can't say what is good. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

They can't tell what they like, whether it's warm brushstrokes, their imagination, or their unique use of language at the heart of science fiction.

Anyway, it's optimistic, it's attractive, it's moving!

Although there is a lot of controversy about the heroine's approach, everyone thinks that this is indeed a great science fiction novel, and if the work is too bad, who will discuss it?

In the world of criticism, literary critics are particularly fond of the narrative time in which the past, present and future are intertwined, and the story adds an endless charm that makes "Arrival" imbued with a peculiar feeling that draws the reader and leads him to think, and at the same time the narrative is very well adapted to the theme.

Liu Fang, a well-known female critic, commented on her blog: "This is the most realistic science fiction novel I have ever read about the psychological state of the heroine. Even Lin Han's previous work "The Time Traveler's Wife" was not so shocking, and if I were the heroine, I would have chosen to give birth to my daughter. As for whether it will change her daughter's life, it will have to wait for more than 20 years!"

This is also the thinking of many female readers, many science fiction protagonists are from a male perspective, and there are very few works about women.

Even some female authors in the industry, when they write, they will subconsciously set the protagonist as a male, so Lin Han's novel focusing on women and mothers is commendable!

Quite a few of them agree with Qiao Yu's approach in the novel, although some of them can't understand Lin Han's metaphors and physics principles at all, but they also understand that the heroine's ability to predict the future is rushed to learn those alien words.

Everyone can't help but wonder, what does the alien script look like, is it really similar to the hieroglyphs of our ancestors?

At this time, Lin Han was sitting in the study with a pencil, and he wanted to surprise netizens, that is, to draw the text of the seven-limbed bucket in the novel.

He had watched the movie "Arrival" before, and his super memory gave him the ability to put the picture he saw in his head!

Although he could not design a complete set of language and text like the people working behind the scenes, it was no problem to depict the text as a totem.

The only problem is that Lin Han is not a good sketcher, and his director's storyboard script can only be regarded as average.

Fortunately, this text does not require too superb drawing skills, just need to trace it step by step, so Lin Han looked at the semicircular font on the drawing paper in front of him and was very satisfied!

It was exactly what he had in mind, it was almost the same scale as it was drawn, and it didn't look like it was drawn by a human at all, but made by a computer machine.

He used a scanner to scan his freshly baked work into his computer, and then uploaded it to Weibo, writing: "Everyone is curious about what the text of the seven-limb bucket looks like, so I drew one, can anyone know what this means?"

The text on this picture is like a splashed ink landscape painting, and the semi-circular figure is like ink splattered out, which looks a little real, and has enough strangeness, intelligence, and mystery.

This ink speckled pattern looks a lot like cursive writing written with a brush, but it was actually drawn by Lin Han with a pencil little by little!

The thickness of the strokes varies with the size of the speaker's voice and the speed of writing, as introduced in the novel, this symbolic text can be broken down into 12 basic parts, each of which is spliced together with different circular elements to express complex words and sentences.

In fact, Lin Han himself didn't know what he was expressing, he just found the most direct and clear pattern from the movie picture in his mind!

He himself doesn't know the answer, and these netizens definitely don't know it, so they can only be happy.

Who knew that this picture had just been put up, and many netizens replied, as if they were waiting for Lin Han to update on Weibo all day long!

"It turns out that the alien's text is like this, so Mr. Lin, can you predict the future now?"

"This word is a paragraph?excuse-me??

"I'm the eighth level of the seven-limbed bucket language major, Mr. Lin's words are saying that he is about to break out, and the new book will be released soon, you pit goods hurry up and get your wallets ready!"

"666, the upstairs translator can only give zero points. Obviously, I said that if I forward this Weibo, something good will happen in the next month!

"HD no watermark praise, has been right-clicked to save!"

"Will this pattern be out of the periphery? I really want to buy it. ”

"This is the most sincere attitude to write science fiction, people are not making up nonsense at all, but really creating a language, you must praise Mr. Lin!"

Many times, everyone thinks that this kind of writing actually does not exist, but the text in front of them looks like a painting, with a lot of Chinese elements in it, and netizens wonder this will be cracked by Chinese linguists.

Compared with the comments of netizens, Hao Junchen, a special commentator of the People's Daily, focused on the writing technique of this novel, he felt that this writing technique was eye-catching, not sticking to the status quo, and at the same time perfectly combined with the plot!

"In fact, compared to short stories, the story told in "Advent" is very long. From Qiao Yu being ordered to communicate with aliens to the aliens leaving, from her and her husband realizing that they were divorced and starting a new relationship with each other, and their daughter from birth to death.

But the narrative time is very short, the beginning of the article is the husband asking her if she wants a child, and at the end of the article, Qiao Yu is smiling and answering yes.

It can be seen that the telling of the whole story takes place in this gap between questions and answers, and in fact, in less than a minute, Qiao Yu recalled half of her life and her daughter's life. In this long and short time, Lin Han has achieved a perfect construction!

The timeline of the novel is intricate, compared to the time when the story is told, that is, when the husband asks Qiao Yu questions, the two of them meet, love, and marry are all in the past, and the birth of their daughter, the divorce of the two and the death of their daughter are the future.

However, it is not until the end of the novel that the reader gradually sorts out the order of the whole story, because the whole novel is full of mistime, and the time sequence of the story does not coincide with the time sequence between the narrative texts.

Time has a color of fate and fate here, and Lin Han uses such a touching story that narrates time quite cleverly to explore, and leads readers to think about the ancient philosophical question of free will!

Lin Han's ability to control the plot is not what it used to be, his handling of time is very clever, it tells the story very movingly, attracts the reader, and at the same time deepens the theme of the article, and also provides an example for the rest of the authors to create, it turns out that time can still play like this!"

This is not the only one who praises Lin Han, in fact, every time his new work is born, it is greeted with a wave of praise, and the current one is no exception.

Fan An, editor-in-chief of People's Literature, commented: "Lin Han is one of the most outstanding and highly regarded novelists in the world of science fiction. His short stories are very shocking, and the science fiction flavor is very authentic! If you don't read Lin Han, you won't understand science fiction!"

Wei Gelei, the editor of "Writer's World", also gave a high praise, "Lin Han condensed the ideas, intelligence, vivid imagination and rare insight worthy of being used in a long novel into a short story." Readers must read it again and again, and they will get great pleasure from reading it every time!"

"In order for the brain to function properly, I have always recommended that people read 52 books a year. But if you only have time to read one, then this "Arrival" or even "Lin Han's Short Story Collection" is your best choice!"

When Dong Qing, the famous host of CCTV, was interviewed by the media, she praised it even more, if it weren't for the fact that the program "Reader" she produced had just ended, she would have wanted to invite Lin Han to the last show again!

Of course, there is also Lin Han's iron buddy Li Wenyuan, a recognized science fiction writer who simply wrote on Weibo: "Without magnificent scenes or fashionable and cool high-tech, Lin Han can write a novel that leads to the most profound meaning of science fiction." I'm so glad to live in this era and see one classic work after another come to life!"

When the editor of Douban Reading introduced the book "Arrival" in the Good Books column of the week, he described it like this: "Lin Han's science fiction novels are often full of outstanding ideas and sharp value torture, and every question is a challenge to readers. Even though his creative speed is amazing, the quality of his works has not deteriorated in the slightest, and almost every work has become a classic for science fiction readers and even the majority of ordinary readers!"

The media and celebrities praised Lin Han as always, and even these praises were spread abroad, and those foreign readers once again felt different.

Chinese are reading Lin Han's new book again, but they can't see it, and they simply want to draw a circle on the Internet to curse you!

In foreign social media such as ins, tumblr, reddit, Facebook, and many forums, the seven-limbed bucket alien text drawn by Lin Han was spread before the novel.

Many of Lin Han's loyal readers know that his new book is about the pattern-like text in front of them, but there is no information about what is specifically written!

He didn't translate it himself, nor did he authorize anyone else to translate it, so all he was looking to was a few well-meaning Chinese readers and overseas students to see if they could translate the story in its original form.

At this moment, those Europeans and Americans were once again heartbroken, and they really regretted that they were not reincarnated in China!
