First of all, the fourth episode should have a name change, from "Feast Kaifeng" to "Wildfire", which is a trivial matter.

Then let's talk about the section of Liangshan in the Water Margin.

As far as I'm concerned, I have a habit of writing articles, the plot is not mine, I don't write it. But how the plot becomes "mine", the criterion is to be able to understand a certain image, and then it can be shaped in the mind, can be substituted, and then can be arbitrarily transmitted out of the sense in my way, usually before I write, there will be such a digestion process.

If you want to use an analogy, there are usually some fanfiction - I've seen some of them before, and I usually don't like them, because the traces of cartoons are too heavy, and the author gives up his own things for the sake of what belongs to the animation in his heart, such as listing some "stalks" and the like, and after the reader watches it, they completely think of the cartoon, and they find it interesting, but in fact, this is not the way to write a book.

Of course, that's just my personal likes and dislikes.

I don't have any personal feelings or prejudices about Water Margin, I really don't. Because before this, I haven't watched the Water Margin in its entirety at all, of course there will be fragmentary perceptions, when it is usually positive, I like Wu Song, I like Lu Zhishen, I like Lin Chong, I like Hu Sanniang. After laying the clues of the Water Margin at the beginning, when facing the third episode, I once considered whether to appear a Liu watermelon who knew martial arts, because there was another choice at that time, that is, when Ning Yi went north, I might be able to write about Hu Sanniang, and there was already a red grape at that time, if there was a watermelon, Sanniang would be a bit redundant.

After the last I chose watermelon.

And then when the plot of the Water Margin was really about to be written, I made up for the Water Margin for a while. It is to really digest the characters and figure out the clues. I must grasp the psychological activities of each character clearly, because for example, if Ning Yi kills Song Jiang, I will not only substitute Ning Yi, but also Song Jiang, I will regard myself as Song Jiang, and make sure that he has the greatest fear in his heart...... Ning Yi's nagging, many people thought that I was preaching something to readers, such as a nihilistic view of good and evil. There is no good or evil or anything. Not really. In fact, what Ning Yi said was: Take out good and evil, I will kill you, put aside good and evil, I must kill you today. His god is in his mouth. It is to give Song Jiang the greatest sense of fear and trampling. When one cannot theoretically argue about one's own life. It's when you can't even speak. That was the biggest trampling on that person. "I'll kill you, please understand."

So, in the process of digestion. I encountered a lot of psychological obstacles, how did Qin Ming and these people feel Song Jiang's "righteousness", and then bowed their heads, Hu Sanniang was killed and then forced to marry, when Hu Sanniang was killed and then forced to marry, it was written in the book that "I felt the leader's righteous anger...... "How did she feel.

When ordinary people comment on the Water Margin, they will say that Hu Sanniang has no personality, or that Shi Nai'an has contempt for women or something. You can comment like this, but I want to write, and I can't live like this in my heart. Everyone's mood must have cause and effect and be as reasonable as possible, and once it is written, I have to speak in the role of myself, and I have to see how his character comes from. I can only try to make up for it reasonably, such as Hu Sanniang, her family was killed, her fiancé was killed, Zhujiazhuang was slaughtered, and all the people she knew were killed in front of her. I can only cross this line when I see an ancient woman who has been frightened by many evil deeds.

Then many people's feelings have to be replenished, and I try to make these characters "understand" by me, and I still thought about "receiving" some people at first. But then, when I really got to understand it, the plot developed like this. There are a lot of book friends in this who attribute it to bananas' prejudice against the Water Margin or something, really no, and some people will measure my likes and dislikes, in fact, my likes and dislikes are part of it, but it's really not that important, I have a world in my head, of course, I can push him, add something, see how it evolves, find out interesting ways to evolve, but I never change because of my likes and dislikes, this section of the Water Margin, more in the laissez-faire deduction, let them develop their own process.

Then, reading a book and substituting a role, it can be very cool, maybe it can also be very relaxing, if you substitute Ning Yi, it is more likely to have the pleasure of killing all sides - if most people feel it, it is my success. But there are some things that I want to talk about after I see them now.

We are weakling!

This phrase is important, so I repeat it again: we! It's the weak!

I am used to writing about beautiful things, but the world and conflicts I describe are very cruel, because what I see for myself is so cruel and unreasonable. Preaching the beauty of the world is meaningless for us to do things, what is meaningful is that we can find beautiful things. But beautiful things are fragile. Ning Yi's methods were ruthless, because some good things had already been broken.

Haruki Murakami has a saying: When being strong itself becomes morality, being strong will be defeated by being stronger.

There are some book lovers who believe in the nihilistic view of good and evil, thinking that there is no good or evil in this world, only interests and ass. I don't like this kind of thing, but in fact, nihilism is something that can easily appear when a person is exposed to a lot of social information and is unable to discern and control his inner morality, and he also makes people feel very smart. But in fact, this stage of life is usually no different from Secondary 2.

We are weakling. In fact, many of the book friends are probably very powerful in their own right, or they are thriving in society, but even such people, if they are only measured by strength, stronger will always exist. But if there is really no good and no evil in the world, and the strong bully the weak, or there is really no need for a reason.

The world is cruel, so beauty is precious. Some things are not playful, but you need to fight hard and protect. And in this world, we are all weak, and what we have in our hands may be taken away, and the beauty we have may not be guaranteed. If one day. Someone tramples on it, can the law completely protect you? Now whoever has an accident in the family is looking for a relationship. For example, if you offend a billionaire and someone spends money to kill you, they may be able to settle things very easily. There are such examples in the whole world, in a world of nihilistic views of good and evil, people will step on you unscrupulously if they want to step on you. What can really protect you can keep the strong from being unscrupulous. It is possible to make people as equal as possible. It's morality.

As far as I can see, the more people who have no permanent property, the more people at the bottom of society have a view of morality, good and evil. The more contemptuous. But on the contrary, it can go a little better. I can be somewhat awe-struck. I didn't walk up there. I'm at the bottom like everybody, and when I write about it, I feel fear.

One day, people who were cornered could only pick up guns and go out into the streets to kill people. can only go to the kindergarten to kill children, just like Ma Jiajue killed his classmates. One day, such a thing may fall on your head and me, and we will suffer bad luck, have nowhere to go, and have no way out. The people of Liangshan are also similar to this.

But the only thing that can protect you and me is morality and good and evil. The concept of morality and good and evil determines what everyone can and cannot do in a truly equal way, it is not necessarily to learn from Lei Feng, but to give everyone an equal bondage, what is right and what is wrong. And no matter how strict the law is, it is layered. For the weak, I think it is even more clear to recognize this.

There may be a reason for evil in the world, but the so-called world is a whole composed of each of us, we are powerless, but we are a part of the composition, only one in 1.3 billion, and we are all part of this evil.

Oh, I always want to spare no effort to talk about this, we may become the Water Margin, but we may not be able to become high-ranking people. And a society, after the collapse of the bottom, will often usher in the collapse of the top. For 5,000 years, we have all played with ourselves. In fact, the upper class may not be unaware of such a state of affairs, and in recent years, they have been advocating morality more and more vigorously, learning from Lei Feng's slogans, and criticizing Pleasant Goat for being too violent...... This kind of propaganda may not be powerful, and many times what we see is only sarcasm, but perhaps it is only out of the law that overcorrection is inevitable.

If we were in the Song Dynasty, we might not be able to do anything, and when the social order collapsed, people were not as good as dogs. But we are really in a new era that we haven't had in thousands of years, because everybody reads the book, reads the book, makes a sound, receives it from above, causes a change, and the change is going to be slow, not intense. So I always want to say, let's not learn from Lei Feng, we just need to speak, say the right things right, say the right things wrong, never talk about it, there will be a huge span in between, and the society will get better.

In fact, these things, I originally planned to talk about them after the whole book is finished, oh, in my conception it will be a long speech, entitled "Summary of the Son-in-law: To What I Love and Hate We", when the whole book writes the face of an era, and explains clearly why the world is declining, why we have to resist, why we want to fight and why we should be patriotic, and after clarifying what patriotism is, maybe that thing will be more convincing, but suddenly I saw some nihilistic views of good and evil, I couldn't help but want to say something first.

It's something that is both pragmatic and pragmatic, but once you've seen it, you can actually forget it. The retreat side of it is that I think that can change the world, and as long as everybody speaks, it can change the world. And the pragmatic point is that I don't advocate everyone to learn from Lei Feng, I just hope that people can speak for good and evil, it's so simple. But of course you can forget about that, I just hope that when everyone is happy and relaxed, there will be a trace of fear.

- We are weakling.

Of course, part of the evil of the people of Liangshan is due to the way of the world, and there are reasons for corrupt officials and corrupt officials. Just like Lin Chong, he was forced to that extent, he could only rebel, in terms of his blood feud, for the revenge of the enemy, there is no upper limit or lower limit, but he can't go to the capital and die with Gao Yu, whether he can't do it or doesn't want to die, it can be understood. And on Ning Yi's side, there is also the same valid reason. Because when things really come to someone, all that remains is to resist, if the truth is reasonable, please be reasonable, if the truth is not said, please resist vigorously, and the resistance must be so intense.

This is my "Water Margin", I only guarantee that I have sincerely understood it, some people will think that it is different from what he understands, and some people think that I just like Lu Zhishen, that is everyone's freedom. There are also people in the book review area who think that the protagonist, as a modern person, should tolerate the ancient people and preach what universal values or something, if someone wants to kill your whole family, whether it is all killed or only half of it, after this fact, you are willing to promote universal values with him and forgive him inclusively, then it is also your freedom, it is none of my business......
