Rashomon.

It is a short story by the famous writer Ryunosuke Akutagawa in the island country, and it is also a very profound short story in Qin Xiaobai's memory.

And director Akira Kurosawa once remade the movie Rashomon, but not this short Rashomon, and another bamboo forest in Akutagawa.

Although Rashomon is only a short film, he talks about a question from ancient times to the present, that is, the origin of good and evil.

This one, Qin Xiaobai didn't even know what it was talking about when he first read it, but now, Qin Xiaobai finally understood......

"Rashomon, this story is actually very simple, the story is simple, and the characters are also very simple."

"It's a story of a dead man, two living people." Qin Xiaobai took a long breath and said slowly.

"The story takes place in a place called Wakoku, and Rashomon is an ordinary temple in this country."

"The Wa Kingdom is an island country, and their country has been at war for a long time, and there are often earthquakes, fires, famines, and other disasters."

"And this temple called Rashomon, is in this country, the war is not stopped, although it is a temple, but no one has repaired it for a long time, the Buddha statues and Buddhist tools inside have been broken, and those ownerless dead bodies have been thrown away in Rashomon, where robbers are infested, and foxes come and go."

"When the sun sets, it's a very eerie place, and only the crows stop and wait to eat the dead man's flesh."

Qin Xiaobai glanced at everyone.

The students were obviously holding on to their seats, or rather, they liked Qin Xiaobai's way of telling stories.

At this time, some students had already drawn the Rashomon they imagined in their minds, and they suddenly felt a chill in their hearts.

Will there really be such a place?

All the students thought.

Qin Xiaobai paused and continued to tell his story.

"In this country, there is no end to war, many people are starving to death, there are no jobs, so robbers are infested, and the whole of Kyoto is full of robbers and thieves."

"On this day, there was a family who came to Rashomon to take shelter from the rain, and said that he was waiting for the rain to stop, so it was better to say that he had nowhere to go."

"Because four or five days ago, this general was dismissed by his master's family."

"This family will want to wait for the rain to stop before choosing to leave, so they plan to spend the night on the Rashomon Tower."

He cautiously climbed up to the attic of Rashomon, which was full of rotting corpses and flies roaming around.

Speaking of this, the students suddenly felt their stomachs churning a little uncomfortable.

What a picture this has to be!

And just then, he saw a yellow light in the attic, and then he looked over and saw an old woman.

"This old woman is pulling the hair of a dead woman."

The general suddenly felt a trace of hatred in his heart, and he immediately drew his knife and stepped forward to ask the old woman why she had done such a thing.

The old woman hurriedly explained that she was trying to pluck the dead body's hair and sell it as a wig to survive.

At the same time, the old woman explained that this woman was a wicked person when she was alive, and she dried the dead snake and sold it as fish to make a living, and of course, there was no way to do it, because she was also trying to survive.

"And now, the old woman pulls out the woman's hair, also to survive, there is no way to do it."

After listening to the old woman's words, the general put away the knife, and at this time a new courage suddenly arose in his heart.

"This kind of courage he didn't have before, and now the old woman gave him such courage, and that is the courage of evil."

The general immediately snatched the old woman's clothes, kicked her down, and disappeared into the night of Rashomon.

"Since then, no one has seen him again, and perhaps there will be another evil bandit in Kyoto in the future."

"This is the end of the story."

Qin Xiaobai let out a long breath, his eyes sweeping over everyone.

At this time, the atmosphere was a little depressing.

They were hazy, and they didn't seem to understand Qin Xiaobai's story, or the purpose of this story, and they didn't understand it either.

"At the end of this story, there are actually two answers, one is an unsolvable answer, and the other is an unsolved answer."

"What is the unanswered question, that is, in such an extreme situation of life and death, I don't know how I will choose, whether I will become a robber in order to survive like that general, or I will scoff and disagree."

"This answer is difficult, because it is a situation where you die or I die."

Qin Xiaobai glanced at everyone again, presumably they couldn't answer this question in their hearts.

He knocked on the table and said slowly, "Now let's talk about the answer." ”

"Actually, although this story is not long, there is a very interesting problem in it, and this problem is the problem of unleashing evil."

"It's not about evil, it's about unleashing evil!" Qin Xiaobai accentuated his voice.

"Everyone can find a reason for being evil."

"Then what we have been suppressing is not good, but evil."

"Then in fact, good is something brought from the outside, which covers up and suppresses evil."

"It's not easy to release evil, but this story uses such an extreme environment and the relationship between three people to simply release the evil in people's hearts."

"I see that you are doing evil things, and you have found a reason for your evil that is not evil, and you have forgiven yourself, so is your reason also common to me, and can I also find my own evil reason from your reason and forgive my evil."

"And then we perpetuate and spread this evil."

"Then in the end, everyone is evil, then, there is no question of good and evil, only evil and more evil."

Qin Xiaobai said this, looking at everyone's faces without any abnormality, sighed, took a sip of water, and continued.

"Leaving this extreme environment, we don't really have the same survival problem, but in fact, we all have the same problem."

"Here's an example." Speaking of this, Qin Xiaobai's gaze stopped on Wang Junyu.

Wang Junyu was also on pins and needles all of a sudden, and his expression was a little flustered.

"At school, there was one guy who bullied another."

"At this time, everyone thinks it's wrong, right?" Qin Xiaobai asked.

Everyone nodded, and it was Wang Junyu himself, who also shook his head slightly.

"Okay, then now, you stand up, because you hate this person for bullying another person, so you stand up and bully the person who used to bully."

"At this moment, another person also stood up, felt that you were doing something wrong, and continued to bully you."

"Everybody is going to continue this kind of violence."

"And everybody will find a suitable reason, and that reason is very simple, that is, you think it is wrong for someone else to attack another person."

"And then you attack him too, and you even feel that you have a sense of justice."

"Perhaps, what everyone did was not wrong, but it is undeniable that this is still a continuation, and we may not call it evil, or a kind of anger."

"But there's no denying that isn't this a continuation?"

"Isn't this Rashomon?"

Speaking of this, Qin Xiaobai paused for a moment and stopped talking.

The rest of the time, just let them think for themselves.

This story is very complicated, so complicated that Qin Xiaobai sometimes feels that he is in the story of Rashomon.

Maybe that's the charm of this story.

With a long sigh, he sat down.

After a long time, finally, a man stood up.

Qin Xiaobai smiled.

"Teacher." It was Wang Junyu who stood up.

"I was wrong!" Wang Junyu's words this time seemed to be convincing.

"What's wrong?" Qin Xiaobai asked with a smile.

"My mistake was that I shouldn't have found a suitable reason for myself to bully the people in the second class for what I thought was a childish sense of justice." Wang Junyu let out a long breath.

"Before that, I felt like I was bullying them because they used to bully me, and they were evil."

"I found a suitable reason for myself to continue the bullying and release the evil in my heart."

"Maybe in my opinion, I am righteous, but in fact, in the eyes of others, I am not a wicked person!"

Speaking of this, Wang Junyu also smiled bitterly.

He had never felt so stupid.

"When I release the evil, I become a wicked person in the eyes of others, so when they come to bully me again, they can find a suitable reason for themselves, the same reason, because I bullied the people in the second class."

"Then this evil will continue because of me, then the entire Jiawu Academy will only be evil, and even more evil!"

Wang Junyu's body trembled slightly, as if he was feeling guilty.

After a long time, he raised his head and bowed deeply towards Qin Xiaobai.

"Thank you, teacher!"

At this moment, all the students in the class also stood up.

"Thank you, teacher!"

A loud voice echoed throughout the classroom.

Qin Xiaobai finally breathed a sigh of relief, he stood up and looked at everyone smiling.

"Remember this lesson."

"Alright, class is over!"

Qin Xiao's white voice fell.

Everyone stood up consciously.

"I'm going to be away for a while, and I hope this lesson will keep you from repeating the same mistakes, and I hope that when I come back, you'll still be the same as you are."

"Yes, Teacher!" The voice resounded loudly throughout the classroom again.

Qin Xiaobai nodded with satisfaction, and at this moment, the entire classroom also applauded.

Especially Wang Junyu, his palms are already red.

He wiped tears from the corners of his eyes and smiled brightly.

……

…

Qin Xiaobai didn't stay long, he left Jiawu Academy directly, and before leaving, he repeatedly instructed Wang Jinqing to strictly manage the class.

However, he also believes that after this lesson, today's events should never happen again.

——————————

PS: This story is honest, there are a lot of differences, I like this story a lot, it's the same as spraying each other on the Internet, I think what you said is wrong, so I spray you, and another person thinks I'm spraying you wrong, so he will attack me together, then there will be more and more discordant voices in the entire comment area.

Here, I hope that you will not be so irritable and not find a suitable reason for yourself to release evil, after all, no one likes a smoky environment.

Finally, thank you very much to all the students who saw this, I have been polishing this story for a long time, leave your opinion on the Rashomon story, of course, don't be too irritable.
