"What to do? What now? ”

Xu Fengjuan asked Lin Xiaomei a little nervously. The situation in front of her can be described as a mess, but she has never experienced it much.

Lin Xiaomei was also a little overwhelmed.

These students from other departments are right, it is normal for students from different departments to listen to a lecture or something.

If you lock the door of the lecture hall and don't let them in, it will indeed seem a little childish.

And what if you open the door and let these people in?

The students of their own department will not be able to occupy a good position after coming over, and they will still be blamed, alas! What a dilemma in this situation!

At this moment, there was another "rumbling" of footsteps outside the teaching building.

However, after the students of this department got the news, they rushed over one after another, and soon the atrium on the first floor was full.

In a few minutes, Xiao Fei estimated that there were more than four hundred students who would arrive alone.

That's it, there are still students coming in from outside.

Alas! The students of Peking University are too enthusiastic......

"President Lin, open the door!"

"Open the door, let everyone into the classroom, what kind of system are they all crammed into here!"

Everyone was clamoring and shouting.

Lin Xiaomei saw sweat on her head, she raised her voice and shouted: "Everyone be quiet, be quiet, okay?" Be sure to keep a good order, don't mess up, so many people, it's easy to have a stampede. ”

She shouted a few times, and the students fell silent.

Lin Xiaomei is also a resolute person and is very decisive. She thought, anyway, this lecture is also held in this department. Naturally, students in this department should be given priority.

Thinking so, she said loudly, "Classmates from other departments. Since our lecture hall is not big enough to accommodate so many people, we can only grieve you, let our students enter the department first, and then, if there are vacant seats, they will be evenly distributed among you, okay? Please be considerate of us. ”

Hearing her say this, the students of the surrounding foreign departments were in an uproar.

There was another flurry of babble.

They complained loudly.

The students of the Chinese Department burst into cheers. directly suppressed the complaints and dissatisfaction of foreign students.

At this moment, Cao Zizheng and several teachers squeezed in from outside and came to the side of Xiao Fei and the others.

"Lin Xiaomei, what's going on?" Cao Zizheng asked.

Lin Xiaomei briefly talked about the matter.

Cao Zizheng looked around the scene and said with a smile: "That's good, I'll ask if the school's auditorium is used this afternoon, if no one uses it, let's just go to the auditorium to hold this lecture, and the conditions there will be better." Xiao Fei, what do you say? ”

"Teacher Cao, I listen to you." Xiao Fei said with a smile.

Cao Zizheng made a phone call to a director in charge of logistics administration at the school.

Coincidentally, the school auditorium happened to be free that afternoon. And Cao Zizheng's face is big enough, just after saying it, the director agreed.

"Students. There are too many people coming to listen to the lecture today, and the lecture hall of our Chinese department is too small. I can't fit so many people, so I just discussed it with the school. The school agreed to let us use the auditorium for an afternoon, and now, let's keep the discipline and order, let's go to the auditorium together, and now we can ensure that everyone has a seat to sit. ”

Cao Zizheng announced the good news to everyone with a smile, and many students cheered.

The problem of not having enough seats in the classroom has been solved.

"Xiao Fei, let's go, let's go over together." Cao Zizheng smiled and sent an invitation to Xiao Fei.

"Okay, Mr. Cao." Xiao Fei nodded in agreement.

The group headed towards the auditorium.

Xiao Fei accompanied Cao Zizheng and several teachers to walk in the flow of people, their team of five or six hundred people, walking on the campus is particularly eye-catching.

There are people who are constantly curious and asking.

After hearing that Xiao Fei was going to give a writing lecture in the auditorium, many people joined in.

By the time they reached the outside of the auditorium, there were almost a thousand people.

That's not a small number.

Entering the auditorium in order, several staff members of the Chinese Student Union moved a table and chair onto the stage and adjusted the audio microphone.

Lin Xiaomei walked quickly onto the stage, picked up the microphone, shook her short hair and said with a smile: "Teachers, students, good afternoon!" Today, we are fortunate to invite Xiao Fei, a famous young writer in China, to give us a writing lecture. ”

"Wow-"

The audience burst into warm applause.

"I won't say more nonsense, next, I invite Xiao Fei to the stage!" Lin Xiaomei made a gesture of please and bowed slightly to Xiao Fei.

Xiao Fei stepped onto the stage.

He sighed in his heart.

Originally, I just wanted to do a small seminar, but I didn't expect to end up holding such a large lecture.

The people in the audience, a little estimate, there are more than 1,000 points, and there are still people who come in one after another looking for seats.

Giving such a lecture in the auditorium of Peking University, this specification is not low, you must know that the control of the auditorium of Peking University is still quite strict, and it is not something that anyone wants to use.

The auditorium can only be used for major events.

These major events include speeches by foreign heads of state, speeches by important leaders of their own countries, major celebrations of schools, etc., which are enough to qualify.

In such a place on the stage, I don't know how many heavyweights have stood up.

"Hello teachers, hello students, today's lecture is a temporary idea, I haven't prepared much, what do you want to hear, you can mention it, I will communicate with you."

Xiao Fei said with a smile.

As soon as he said this, there was an uproar below.

A lot of people started asking questions that they were interested in.

"Xiao Fei, can you tell us about your writing experience? Also, do you think that a person with no talent can make a career in writing? ”

"Xiao Fei, how did you come up with the idea of writing the novel "Fatigue of Life and Death", and how long did it take you to write this book? What do you think is the most important meaning of this novel? ”

"Xiao Fei, tell us about your understanding of life and death, look at your two important novels, both of which have written about this theme in great detail, especially "Fatigue of Life and Death", which wrote the ultimate proposition of the six reincarnations of Buddhism, and the whole book is interpreted in this way, so, is there really reincarnation in this world?"

……

In short, there are all kinds of questions, but most of them are interested in the book "Life and Death Fatigue".

Xiao Fei said with a smile: "Then I'll talk about the creation of "Life and Death Fatigue" first. ”

"The word 'fatigue of life and death' comes from Buddhism, which is a sentence in the "Eight Great Enlightenment Sutras", the Buddha said: Fatigue of life and death starts from greed. Less desire and inaction, body and mind are at ease. This sentence is printed on the title page of the single book of "Life and Death Fatigue", and I believe everyone has seen it. ”

What do you mean by that? It is estimated that no one knows, this is about the reincarnation of the soul, hundreds of millions of living beings, are born and destroyed in these six realms of reincarnation, that is quite exhausting, here, the Buddha is to people in the world, livestock in the animal road as a kind of pain and fatigue, feel that it is all suffering, and it is endless suffering, it is difficult to escape! ”

"So, how can we get out of the path of samsara and be at ease? Only by seeking the Buddha to be good and entering the realm of the Buddha can we be immortal and immortal and get rid of the sea of suffering! ”

"If you want to be the head of all evil, why do people live so painfully? Have you ever thought about it? It is because the desires are too strong, all kinds of desires fill the heart, but these desires cannot be completely satisfied, so they are miserable and troubled! If there is less, then the pain will naturally be reduced, and life will become happy and comfortable, which is the so-called desireless and rigid. ”

"Of course, the above is just a Buddhist interpretation of life and death."

"In fact, we all know that it is impossible for human beings to be human without desire, and it is desire that promotes the development of human civilization in this world. If there is no desire at all, then I estimate that the world will be completely chaotic, you can think about it, people have no appetite, do not want to eat, maybe they will starve to death; If man does not have lust, the natural way of reproduction may be broken, and mankind may even be extinct; If human beings do not have a desire for money and material things, then this world is estimated to be full of lazy people, and we are still struggling to survive in a primitive society of slash-and-burn! ”

It can be seen from this that desire-desire is not a flood beast as Buddhism says, and it is a bad thing that cannot be touched! On the contrary, it is a direct driving force of human civilization! ”

"It's just that everything should have a degree, no matter what kind of desire-desire, if it exceeds a degree, then it will be a bad dish, and it may be spoiled, and it will become what Buddhism calls a man-eating monster."

"With the above thoughts, I would like to encourage you."

"Next, I will talk about my idea for the book "Life and Death Fatigue". In fact, when I was very young, I heard countless folklore, saying that it was a legend, but in fact, the characters in this legend were some local neighbors, or the elders of the surrounding villages, many of whom I had even met, and the images of these peasants and their stories of survival and struggle in that land were deeply embedded in my mind, and I was very touched by them, and I wanted to write about them, but I could not find a suitable new form and entry point. ”

"Until late one night a few months ago, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I thought of the six realms of reincarnation, a Buddhist interpretation of life and death of all things, and I suddenly realized that I had found a good solution, that is: let the protagonist of my book fall into the way of reincarnation, and live a life for a donkey as a cow, a pig into a dog...... Through different reincarnation worlds, let the protagonist observe the joys and sorrows of this land and the vicissitudes of life, which is one of my mental journeys in writing "Fatigue of Life and Death".
