The day before yesterday, before going to bed, I chatted with a netizen who had known her for many years, and she talked about some things about music, and then asked me if I still play music. This question came suddenly, and I honestly confess that I hadn't actually played music, but I had written a few bloody love songs when I was young and frivolous.

Of course she didn't reply, and I had nothing more to say.

As singer Xu Song said: "Young people's dreams are always complex and changeable. ”

Maybe there is a reason, the ignorant teenager has a reasonable starting point, always loves to daydream, so when I was a teenager, dream was a cheap term, today I want to be a singer, tomorrow I want to be a painter, and the day after tomorrow I want to be a rich businessman, and after a few months I watched the news broadcast, and the idea of Lao Tzu going to be president will pop up, in short, dreams seem to have been freely changed in the minds of teenagers who don't know what dreams are, and never stop.

Later, I gradually understood that dream is not a simple noun, it should not be remembered casually, and forgotten casually, it has a heavy weight of its own, this weight is from the thousands of years when human beings have an independent consciousness, and a small number of people who really dare to pursue their dreams have exchanged sweat and even their lives for it.

Therefore, after I went to high school, I understood that frivolous conjectures do not belong to dreams, but to lust.

And modern people can't get rid of this bad habit, of course, including me, after all, adultery doesn't need a cost, as long as you are bold enough, in your own mind you are God, whether you kill people and set fire to save the world, no matter whether it is despicable or glorious and great, you can consume your brain cells to your heart's content.

In this way, modern people have a subordinate habit, which is not good or bad, but it is still a bit of a bad feeling - most of us have begun to love pastime, love to complain, but do not love to study, do not love to work, yearn for comfort at the same time, but also yearn for a vigorous and wonderful life.

As a result, online literature has blossomed everywhere.

Obviously, people know that none of the above can be universal, so they pin this good wish on the virtual world - but I still need to remind hot-headed and impulsive teenagers that jumping off a building and committing suicide may not make you cross, but it will definitely kill you. Take 10,000 steps back, even if the dead can travel to another world that is different from reality, then how do you ensure that you still have the memories of your previous life? i.e. how do you make sure you can still be yourself? Take another 10,000 steps back, even if you penetrate the other world, you still retain the memory of your past life, so how can you guarantee that you will definitely have the so-called golden finger to let you hang up? That is, after you penetrate the other world, you still repeat the prosaic ** life in your previous life or even worse, what should you do?

I'm sure I'll get a unanimous answer: "Impossible!" That's not how it is written in web novels! ”

Well, in this way, we immediately come to a conclusion - everyone wants to be the protagonist, even if there is no hope in this life, then the next life will definitely be.

Who gave us courage? Liang Jingru? No, it's a web novel.

In other words, it is fiction that arouses great interest and even conjectures.

Myths and stories that have been circulated for thousands of years, adapted from actual literary works, have had an audience since ancient times, in fact, most of them are fictional, such as Nuwa created people, Darwin's "Theory of Species Evolution" slapped Nuwa in the face, such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the coffin board of Chen Shou, a historian of the Western Jin Dynasty who wrote "Three Kingdoms", is ready to move.

However, people are still willing to accept Nuwa's creation of human beings, and they are still willing to accept "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", although these are most likely fake, they are more interesting, so they are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

-- This is the same reason that people like to read all kinds of party gossip news on the Internet more than the People's Daily.

In the final analysis, whether it is traditional literature or online literature, whether it is a novel or a movie, whether it exists or does not exist, all products with fictional elements (i.e., things that do not exist in themselves) are inevitably the objects of obscenity.

In this way, we come to another conclusion - human beings need fiction to supplement the emptiness of reality.

Let's not discuss the reasons why living in reality makes people empty, this topic is a bit exquisite, I can't say it.

Let's just talk about the significance of online literature today.

What is the significance of online literature? - Meaningless.

Recently, while reading some essays by the author of the novel "Son-in-law" angry banana, he said that there are problems in the spiritual civilization of the Chinese, and the construction of material civilization is rapid, while the construction of spiritual civilization is not progressing, but even regressing -- this is a common topic and a practical situation.

And how to build a spiritual civilization? Please look at the third compulsory course of high school politics, which has written a lot of strategies, such as cultivating citizens with four haves, developing education, science, and cultural undertakings, and actively encouraging hundreds of millions of people to devote themselves to the construction of civilization, etc., in fact, since the reform and opening up, China has been engaged in cultural undertakings, and has also made a State Administration of Radio, Film and Television to supervise, but what is the effect? It doesn't seem like much.

In fact, I think that since the founding of New China, the distribution of the audience of Chinese's spiritual civilization has not changed much.

Twenty percent of patriots support our party and work actively.

One percent of the speculators, whoever gives him milk to drink or whoever gives him more milk, he will follow.

Half of the haters are composed of criminals, cult members, and people who have suffered serious historical damage, and most of them are turned into opportunists, and these speculators can become criminals, cult members, and historical victims at any time, and on the premise of being beneficial to themselves, they advocate independence from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and Tibet, constantly disgust the Chinese Government, and attack all patriots.

There are also half-percent foreigners, who worship foreigners and are made up of people who are addicted to foreign virtual culture, mainly American and Japanese doglegs, who are the best friends and direct benefits of the haters.

On the Internet, the above four kinds of people are constantly fighting, and they are all in the comment area under the forum, post bar, Weibo, WeChat, Q group and various online news.

The remaining sixty percent of the people, no one believes in it, they live their own small lives in their own right, and they are ordinary people with peace of mind.

In fact, the so-called building of spiritual civilization is the elimination of speculators, haters, and foreignists by patriots, as well as the co-optation of ordinary people.

This is undoubtedly true – because I am a patriot.

From my standpoint, more and more patriots can make the Chinese more united, accelerate the development of productive forces, and make China the world's first power earlier.

That's what the Chinese Dream is all about – Lao Tzu wants to be the first in the world!

This is right, this is my justice, anyone who obstructs China's rise and prevents the Chinese from regaining their dignity that has been lost for a hundred years will be crushed by patriots.

As a matter of fact, if you look at the long-standing economic crises in the United States, Japan, and Western European countries, and then look at China's overall improvement in economic, political, military, and cultural capabilities over the past few years, you have no way of doubting that the time is getting closer and closer for China to become the world's leader.

At this historical juncture, online literature began to attract the government's attention, mainly because-hey Nima, almost 100 million people in China have read or read online novels? No, no, pull in! Must be wooed!

It's actually that obscene, but it's right, because there's no reason not to.

But how effective? It doesn't seem to be big either.

Although the online article has become greener, it has not shouldered its due social responsibility, it is as happy as ever.

So we understand that today, a book and a sentence can no longer make people aware and sober like they did during the May Fourth Movement.

Of course, you will be moved by individual novels, such as "The Legend of Wukong", but it will not change anything, speculators, haters and foreigners will still be in the dark about China, and ordinary people should go to school and go to work.

The angry banana said, this is an era of agitated thoughts, and I would like to add that this is indeed an era of agitated ideas, and the reason for agitation is that no amount of ideas can make more people believe that this is right and that there is wrong.

So the arrogant are still arrogant, the cowardly are still cowardly, the hero can't find a home, and the villain may not hesitate - most people are just silent after all.

Ideology and morality, can no longer find more novel and correct things, the sages have already exhausted human nature, latecomers can only work the text description and sentence construction at most, commonly known as "practicing writing".

And online literature, what can it do?

Last year, when a reporter interviewed me about eating tomatoes, he said that traditional literature is full of connotation, while online literature seems to be a running account, which makes people forget after reading it, and has no connotation. He asked me what I thought about eating tomatoes. I think this reporter should be a brain-dead, I eat tomatoes and am a god of online literature, but he said that online articles have no connotation and are running accounts, isn't this a smashing field?

When I ate tomatoes, I used a sophistry to go back: there are only hundreds of thousands of readers in traditional literature in the country, and there are tens of millions of readers in online literature, even if as you said, the connotation of traditional literature is as high as 80, it can only produce 8 million data, and although the connotation of online literature is only 8 points, tens of millions of readers will bring 80 million connotation data to the society if they read it!

The reporter was speechless.

I couldn't help but want to say the words he hid in his heart for Tomato: "You still want to fight with Lao Tzu, a glorious king with an 80 million combat power index?!" I'll give you a hand! ”

In fact, of course, things are not as optimistic as Tomato said, because if online literature only has eight connotation points per book, then the remaining ninety-two dross points are piled up on tens of millions of readers, and it is likely that something big will happen. Of course, is traditional literature a real book, with 80 connotations? The most important thing is that for modern people who are generally not stupid, can books with connotations or dross really change the three views they have stereotyped? Even if they change, can they really do something that contributes to or harms society? There are too many unknowns to be counted as such.

There is no difference between the effects of traditional literature and online literature. Because it's hard to change anything, more often than not, it's just something that people with different preferences use for entertainment, such as people who like essays buy Lu Xun's books to read, people who like prose buy Ji Xianlin's books to read, people who like martial arts buy Jin Yong Gulong's books, if they like romance, they buy Guo Jingming and Zhang Jiajia's books, if they like chicken soup for the soul, they buy Liu Tong's books, and there are some books that simply like the best-selling books on the list, which are convenient to buy.

You see, what is the difference between traditional literature and online literature? It's just a commodity.

However, some people still want to get more ancillary value on what they have pursued or have already obtained.

For example, the music that my netizen is pursuing, she prefers to call it a musical dream.

For example, writing a novel to make money, authors prefer to call it literature.

Indeed, although in this impetuous age, there are pure dreams, and there is also real literature, but there are not many.

Saying so much, it's also playing the pipa, there is no central idea, it's just nonsense.

Now, I suddenly remembered a sentence that the author of the novel "Ghost Blows the Lamp" said by Tianxia Ba Sing.

"It's just a novel, and I don't have any outstanding achievements, so I can't talk about it everywhere."
