He Shouchang has a great fame and is almost a figure at the top of the literary world, of course, it is impossible to see the work "Love and Sex" by such a coincidence.

He received a letter from Du Shuhuan about three days ago, which included the work "Love and Sex".

The content of Du Shuhuan's letter is also very simple, that is, he feels that the work "Love and Sex" is quite profound and connotative, but let him taste the connotation of this work, and even turn the truth contained in this work into an article, then he feels that he has not been able to do it, so he hopes that He Shouchang can take action.

Of course, Du Shuhuan's attitude is also very sincere, and he bluntly said that if Professor He thinks this novel is really ordinary, then it will be as if he has not sent this letter.

He Shouchang still has a little impression of Du Shuhuan, after all, his father is the director of the World Book Company, which ranks third among the private publishing institutions in China, and has a close relationship with many bigwigs in the literary world.

Of course, He Shouchang is also a frequent guest at the dinner, and he is familiar with Du Shuhuan after coming and going, he thinks that Du Shuhuan is still very good in this posterity, it can be said that he is humble and polite and really likes to read books very much, and has his own unique views on many famous books at home and abroad, and his vision is quite high.

Therefore, it was rare to receive a letter from Du Shuhuan, and after discovering that the other party still recommended works to him, He Shouchang naturally became a little interested in "Love and Sex".

It is also Du Shuhuan's good luck, a figure like He Shouchang who stands at the top of the literary world, is not so idle, he has just returned from the imperial capital recently, and it turned out that he went to participate in the compilation of the imperial new high school Chinese textbook.

And for a literary bigwig like He Shouchang and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, who has all the works, qualifications, and connections, it is ridiculous to use any writer of the Beijing School and the Shanghai School to describe him, because no matter where he goes, he will not be underestimated.

The Academy of Social Sciences of the Chinese Empire in this world is not as miserable as another world China, and there are no academicians, only members of the faculty, just because "emphasizing science and ignoring literature" has become the norm, but I have to say that science is indeed more pragmatic and more beneficial to the country.

And the Chinese countries in this world have never had to worry about trying to catch up with other countries, and naturally they have to pursue everything, and the humanities, arts, science and technology cannot be left behind.

He Shouchang was one of the earliest advocates of the "New Culture Movement", which vigorously advocated vernacular writing, and for this reason, he also set an example by writing many works in vernacular Chinese, and his writing skills have returned to the basics.

His attainments in classical Chinese are actually higher, so he also edited a "Dictionary of Common Words in Ancient Chinese", advocating excellent writers of classical Chinese to translate ancient literary classics into vernacular, and to be as faithful, reachable and elegant as possible.

He Shouchang's academic monographs are even more famous in the literary and philosophical circles, and his academic monographs have even appeared in the textbook "History of Chinese Philosophy" in the university philosophy department, encouraging students who are interested in literature and philosophy to read his academic works in depth.

He Shouchang was just a little free these days, so one afternoon, while sipping the special tea provided by the imperial academician, he flipped through "Love and Sex".

At first, of course, He Shouchang was more relaxed, after all, it was just a newcomer's work, and looking at the cover of this book, it was so frivolous, no matter how you looked at it, it was not a work that needed to be read solemnly.

However, He Shouchang is not the kind of person who does not read non-famous books, he sometimes reads the most popular Mandarin Duck and Butterfly novels, which can be read with relish, and even in his own university classes, he will talk about these novels, so he naturally closes the distance with students.

When she opened the book, there was a sentence written on the title page of the book - it was not the weight that overwhelmed her, but the unbearable lightness of life.

This makes He Shouchang feel a little interesting, it is obviously "the lightness of life", what can not bear?

At the beginning of the novel, he quickly attracted He Shouchang, he felt that with the level of this beginning, this book would definitely sell well, why did it not make any splash after it was on the market for a week?

He Shouchang continued to look at it, and his expression changed from a very relaxed look to a serious and focused look.

If anyone else saw this scene, they would be curious about what book He Shouchang was reading, could it be a classic from the Brittan Empire?

Everyone knows that He Shouchang also translated a lot of classical masterpieces from this huge Western empire, and even translated them in classical Chinese, and later translated them in vernacular, hoping that the Chinese people would further broaden their horizons.

This is a great era of rapid development of science and technology, and of course the humanities and arts must keep up, and must not rest on their laurels.

He Shouchang looked at it, and even took out a pen and began to write and scratch on the book, which was his habit when reading famous books.

If it was an ordinary pastime, he might just look at it and put it down, but he has an excellent memory, so he can freely quote popular works he has seen during class.

The sentences he drew out that he thought were worth savoring, there were about these, and he was just scratching them casually, but in the end, he drew more and more—

"Once love is made public, it becomes heavy and a burden."

"In this world, everything is forgiven in advance, and everything is vilely permitted."

"When a man is intoxicated with his own weakness, he will go on to be weak, and he will fall in the streets, on the ground, and on a lower than the ground, in the eyes of all."

"One can never know what one should want, because one can only live once, and one cannot compare it with a previous life or correct it in the next. There is no way to test which choice is good, because there is no comparison. Everything is experienced immediately, only once, can not be prepared. ”

"Live in the truth, and do not deceive yourself or others, except in isolation from the world. Once someone else witnesses our actions, whether we like it or not, we have to adapt to the gaze of the onlookers, and everything we do is not true. To have the public present and to consider the public is to live in a lie. ”

"The heaviest burden oppresses us, makes us succumb to it, and crushes us to the ground. But in the love poems of the ages, women always longed to bear the weight of a man's body. As a result, the heaviest burden has also become the image of the strongest vitality. The heavier the burden, the closer our life is to the earth, the more real it becomes. On the contrary, when the burden is completely absent, man becomes lighter than air, floats up, is far away from the earth and life on earth, and becomes only a half-real being, and his movement becomes free and meaningless. So, what exactly to choose? Is it heavy or light? ”
