"Four of us survived, the cook and sailor had boarded the lifeboat. The sailor threw me a lifeboat and pulled me up, and my mother, holding some bananas, also boarded the lifeboat. ”

"The chef is a disgusting man, he eats rats, and we used to have enough food for a couple of weeks, but he killed the rats and dried them in the sun and ate them. He was a brute, but he was smart, it was his idea to make a raft to catch fish, and without him we would have starved to death for the first few days. ”

"The sailor broke his leg when he jumped off the ship, and we tried our best to treat his wounds, but they still became infected. The cook said we had to do something or he would die. He said he would handle it, but my mom and I had to help hold down the sailor, and I kept telling him I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”

"The chef not only uses the meat of the sailor as bait, he ends up like a mouse, and the chef will do whatever it takes to survive."

In the final scene, Pie continues to tell another story in the form of a memory, which the insurance officer had requested, no islands, no animals. At first they kill the sailor, and because the protagonist fails to catch a turtle, his mother and the cook get into a fight, and the mother lets Pie get on the raft, only to see Pie get his mother killed.

Unable to bear it, he killed the cook and did what the cook did to the sailors. The story was certainly not bizarre and convincing, and it was in line with the insurer's request for a story that didn't sound like they were idiots, but what they wrote in the report was that Pie's encounter was an unheard of story of courage and endurance in the history of shipwrecks. Few shipwrecked people survive at sea for so long, and no one has a Siberian tiger with them all year round.

"I told two stories, none of which could explain why the freighter was silent, and no one could prove which was true and which was false. All they have in common is that my family has been killed, and I have been subjected to inhuman torture, which of these two stories do you like? ”

Not to ask which one to believe, but to ask which one you like. The last party asked the writer who interviewed him, and the whole story came to an abrupt end here. In fact, it is also asking the reader which one he prefers.

The sudden end of an otherwise wonderful and gorgeous story caught all readers off guard and caused an uproar almost as soon as the magazine serialized the ending was launched. Many readers thought that Zhang Qiuxi wrote this book just to describe a fantasy adventure story, but he didn't think that there was such a deep meaning.

"If it's just about a fantastical journey, although the description is beautiful and mysterious. But the story is still too thin after all. Some readers have already guessed that this is the foreshadowing, but no one can predict that this is the truth. Shangguan Jin sighed and said, "I still feel unacceptable. ”

"You can choose to believe the first story and you'll be able to accept it." Zhang Qiu said proudly drinking tea.

Shangguan Jin said: "It is easy to say, although the insurance officers and writers in it are true, kind and beautiful. Choose the first story, but your hints already suggest that the second story is true. It's easy to fool others, but it's not that simple to fool yourself. ”

Ye Qingqing said: "You are completely uncomfortable with yourself, the reader has fallen into the pit and there is no way, and you know that it is such an ending, and you will read it carefully word for word, who do you blame?" ”

"Because the story itself is so exciting, it's really hard to put it down." Shangguan Jin shook his head and expressed helplessness.

Zhang Qiuxi's no matter what type it is. In fact, Ye Qingqing and each of them can watch it, the only exception is that only Shangguan Jin is the only one who has finished watching them all. Hongdou and Yang Jie, and Zi Cai Xinna just looked at the front part a little curiously, and Li Yue and Ye Qingqing only listened to it once, and didn't read a word.

The reason why he made such a choice was that he couldn't accept the ending, otherwise Li Yue wouldn't be like this, in fact, Zhang Qiuxi himself was the same, knowing the ending of a story, he couldn't accept it. No matter how good or wonderful the story is, I won't watch it, for example, and so on.

"Pi is not a fantastical cruel drift at all. In the end, a few hundred words is the truth of the whole story. ”

This ending is like a bombshell, which makes the readership boil. The media also rushed to report it. Many readers, like Li Yue, also expressed that it was difficult to accept such an ending, but they were attracted by the story itself, and various interpretations also sprung up on the Internet.

All kinds of hints and metaphors in it have been dissected, and the Mu Rhinoceros incident that occurred in 1884 can't be the only one who knows, when the truth is finally revealed, why was the tiger named Richard. Parker's reason was also revealed at the same time, and the story was brought up again.

The topics that have been derived from this have not only been about the story itself, but also about faith, morality, survival, law, and so on, and have become a hot topic in society. In fact, Zhang Qiuxi does not pay attention to the readers' reactions after reading her works, but never responds.

It's the same this time, in countless media, knowing that she couldn't be interviewed, they still called to seek opportunities, they had countless questions to ask Zhang Qiuxi, the author, and Zhang Qiuxi naturally pushed the matter to Hongdou.

"What you see is what it is, Ah Qiu is not unwilling to solve the reader's doubts, but she doesn't want to instill her own opinions, she writes a story because she wants the reader to understand it by himself."

"You can interpret it as faith, and the first story was chosen not to hide our bestiality, but to have faith in our humanity."

"Inspiration, you say? In fact, it is to find a seemingly small story that can directly affect life, and it is clear that Life Pi's fantasy drifting is such a story, which can provide life direction for those who need it. ”

finally dealt with the reporter, but Hongdou couldn't help but complain when he came back: "Why do you have to solve it when you made it?" It made me rack my brains to think of all kinds of theories, and I didn't write this story. ”

"You didn't write it, but you understand it thoroughly." Zhang Qiuxi hugged the waist of the red bean and said with a smile: "Life is like a drama all depends on acting skills, and your appearance is absolutely brilliant." ”

"I've worked so hard to help you, and you still say I'm acting?" Azuki glared at him in displeasure.

Zhang Qiuxi said: "Whether it's acting or not, anyway, you have to do this a few times, Jonathan told sù that the media in the United States has also gotten the news, and probably after this film is listed in the United States, there will be reporters to interview." ”

"I don't speak English, so I'll leave this glorious task to Xiaoyue." Hongdou's words are not completely shirking, her English level is indeed the same scum as Zhang Qiuxi.

It is not surprising that the American media learned of the sensational effect of this book, in fact, countless American readers have been looking forward to it for a long time, and Eswell is not ambiguous, almost before the magazine is published here, and the printing has already begun there. Translation of this kind of thing, Jonathan has always let people follow the progress of the serialization, and the publication of the English version is much faster than the Chinese version of the single book.

"We doubt all the good, but refuse to admit the cruelty of reality." The cover of the English version is marked with such a sentence, which Jonathan was inspired by after reading it, and in addition to writing a preface to Zhang Qiuxi for the first time, he also wrote a preface to Zhang Qiuxi - an elegant proof of God's existence, which perfectly demonstrates the power of the story.

Zhang Qiuxi doesn't believe in religion, and he doesn't know much about religious things, so he has deleted everything related to religion in the original work, but this is only on the surface, and there will still be some religious thoughts in the core, to put it bluntly, he may not have realized such thoughts at all.

This is just like in reality, the vast majority of people in the Celestial Empire do not believe in religion, nor are they disciples of Confucianism, but they are still influenced by these things. Leaving religion behind, Zhang Qiuxi added some traditional philosophical things, although they are very superficial, but in fact, they also have something in common with some aspects of religious thought.

Just like netizens commented, in fact, everyone has a Richard who represents the wild in their hearts. Parker. As with all the works, everyone sees a different understanding, and it is not surprising that Jonathan and other American readers see God in it, and Zhang Qiuxi does not refuse to be understood in this way.

Contrary to the Celestial Empire, so many Christians in the United States can increase sales if they are understood in this way, as for whether there is really a religious metaphor Zhang Qiuxi still chooses to be silent, anyway, it is not mentioned in it, whatever people understand.

As a result, sales exceeded 2 million in the United States in a short period of time, and honors such as the best of the year followed, and celebrities in different fields competed to promote them, causing a reading boom.

Of course, the heated discussion about the two stories is not only happening in China, but American readers are also competing to interpret and express their opinions. Just when the United States was also in full swing, the interview media that Jonathan said finally came.

"What about red beans, it's time for her to express her xiàn, why don't you see anyone at the critical time?"

"A publishing house in Germany sent someone over, and she went to negotiate the copyright, and you still want her to be interviewed for you, and you want to exhaust her?" Shangguan Jin said: "How can you say that the interview this time is also Time Magazine, can you show some sincerity?" ”

"No matter how sincere I am, I can't be proficient in English in an instant." Zhang Qiuxi sighed, in fact, there is no need to worry about this, because the magazine comes with its own translation, and it is already the consensus of the whole world that she does not understand English.
