Reading the Secretary: Essay on the novel "Phantom City".
It's been two months since I came here, and I have no clue about everything, and my heart is a mess, as if my life has come to an end, my life is in a desperate situation, and everything about me seems to be on the verge of bankruptcy!
This is the state I was in when I read "Phantom City". This book was introduced to me by a girl. I've never had much interest in so-called avant-garde novels, juvenile writers.
Many times, I even have a somewhat sneering attitude towards the so-called avant-garde and teenagers.
For this reason, those girls laughed at me for getting old. When you're old, you're old, what's the matter? People always have to get old, but it's only a matter of time.
Girls, who are the most easily moved, love to dream, are often attracted to books about love and love.
I often lament that when I create girls, I am about one step ahead of men. At that point in time, the old man was very interested and in good spirits, so he was very careful, so that the nervous system of the girl was very clearly divided and very developed, and the final result was that the girl was particularly sensitive and easy to be emotional.
When it came to creating men, she was tired and annoyed, so she was a little sloppy, so the nerves of men were a little rough and a little big, and the result was: men in general were relatively emotionally dull.
At first, when my friends gave me "Phantom City", to be honest, I was somewhat repulsed in my heart.
Because of this, when I read this book, I also looked at it with a very critical eye. I'm past the age of the so-called young dreamers.
For a long time, I have been determined by myself: I am a dreamless person. Moreover, I have long declared to myself: my dream is dead, and it has been dead for a long time.
As a child, I had countless dreams. In that dreamy season, colorful dreams once gave me infinite reverie and longing for life.
In my memory, these dreams have reminded me many times that I will not be able to get up when I fall early.
Later, life was unsatisfactory again and again, and many unsatisfactory things shattered my dreams little by little.
After that, dreaming again, mostly waiting, is a nightmare. Every time I wake up from a dream, I am frightened, and I see the fragments of the dream falling in front of my eyes, and my heart will be filled with infinite sadness.
Because of this, many waiters are afraid to sleep. After that, I became numb, and after I became numb, I didn't even have dreams, I didn't even have dreams.
Without dreams, I live like a walking corpse in this world, day after day. Because of all of this, I often feel like a ruthless and loveless monster.
It's probably because of this factor that I almost don't watch books that make little girls cry, and I rarely watch TV series that make little girls cry.
Even if you stand by and watch these readings and plays, they are just watching the plays, watching the flowers, and laughing at them.
I accepted their recommendation and flipped through "Phantom City", although I can't say that I was completely contemptuous or hostile, but to be honest, at least I had three or four points of contempt.
This kind of reading attitude seems wrong, but I am indeed such a person and have such an attitude, so I first wrote down the original situation when I read this book and gave an honest explanation.
In fact, before I finished reading it, I wanted to give up reading the book, because in the process of reading, I found some self-righteous flaws.
At this time, because I don't really want to read professional books; It is also not my style to interrupt because I don't finish things (including reading books); As a pastime, and enduring all kinds of bad emotions, I still lazily finished the book.
Essay 1: This is a novel written with harsh, piercing, and piercing words. Reading the sentences in the novel, there are few special places, however, the words in the book are different, all of them are awkward and dazzling.
The most prominent performance is the names of the characters in the novel: Kasso, Sakura, Liluo, Lanshang, Lianji, Xingjiu, Star Rail, Katafeng, Moon God, Huangjiao, Chaoya, Liao Splash, Dieche, Chi Mo, Entropy Crack, Cut Pupils, Away from the Mirror, and Embers in the Sky...... And so on, all named after strange words and phrases.
These names, it seems, are foreigners, seem to be ancients, seem to be half-breeds, seem to be aliens...... I can't tell who it is anyway!
For readers who are accustomed to reading ordinary words, it may be refreshing at first glance, and at the same time, the use of this vocabulary may cater to the tastes of young people who have been addicted to the dream world of the Internet.
The silver-white world of the Ice Clan created in the book: white blood, long hair, and various illusions...... It completely subverts the inherent audio-visual mode of many people, which may be a selling point.
This kind of text, once in a while, can be tried, but if you use it too much, you will probably go astray and make people annoyed by it.
At the same time, we cannot deny the spirituality of the author of the novel, and it is difficult for him to create such a bizarre and pure literary environment in the book.
When Essay 2 begins to read the first half of the book, it is difficult to understand Cassel's action - to walk the Phantom Snow God Mountain.
Why did he go to the Phantom Snow God Mountain? Why? Why? Because, in my opinion, he can not go at all.
The reason why Cassel insisted on going to the Phantom Snow God Mountain was to save Sakura, who was killed by him, to save the pear who died at the bottom of the deep sea, and to save Lanshang who died in humiliation.
These people are closely related to him and are his relatives. Is it because Cassel is king, is it because Cassel may have some so-called
"Great", is it because of these that he has to use the deaths of so many people to fulfill his dream of going to the Phantom Snow God Mountain?
In fact, as we all know, the chance of success in this dream is close to zero. The result? Dieche died first.
In my opinion, he is not evil, and he is not at all to the point of killing. However, he was killed for Cassel's march.
The people under the Entropy Crack died one by one. Katakaze is dead. Liao Splash died. Entropy Crack also died in the end.
Do these people really have to be that damned? Let's ask, Cassel is going his own way, taking these innocent lives, even if he succeeds, can he be at ease?
That
The idea that "the king regards the world as his own and regards human life as a mustard" obviously affected the author. So, he was able to write with poise.
These people are all for the achievement of Cassel - that is
"The king" died. Is it for
"Kings", they deserve to die, do they deserve to die? Even the most terrible protector of the West, Star Rail, died a sad death.
If you weigh the trade-off, so many people's lives in exchange for three close people, perhaps, Cassel should be lonely, even for a thousand years, or even ten thousand years.
Because if it can really be reversed, then Cassel has fulfilled more than three people. Perhaps, this kind of questioning is just self-talk, and these assumptions are just foolish dreams, but this is what I thought after reading this book at the time.
Since the author is not afraid of all kinds of comments from readers about him, then, as a reader, I must also maintain my original intention, not afraid of other people's opposition and non-laughter, and truly express my inner feelings.
After the appearance of the third time of the Lotus Hime, that is, the Yuan Festival, I think that it seems superfluous to say anything more.
In my eyes, Renji is the god of fate, and she controls everything. At first, after knowing that Phantom Snow City was just a toy of Phantom Snow Divine Mountain, I was still a little resentful.
Because at that time, I felt that Cassel's breakthrough in the Snow God Mountain was somewhat arrogant and somewhat of a taste of resistance.
When the powerful goddess of fate, Renhime, appeared and told me all about her control with a wicked laugh, I began to feel a little dumbfounded.
I have nothing to say. When you are young and frivolous, everyone likes to say
"Resistance",
"Struggle" ...... with reality
"Struggle", and fate
"Fight", with everything in everything
"Struggle". However, when it comes to the muddy water in the face of reality, in most cases, in the end, you don't dare to do anything, and only what is left in front of you is gone.
Actually, many times, the god of fate is a cat. Ordinary people are just little rats at their mercy under their palms.
If the god of fate is a very hungry cat, ordinary people like rats are better off, and it is also pleasant to think about it if it goes down and dies for a while.
What heroes yearn for, not what is called
Is it "quick to draw the knife into one"? Evil is evil, and the god of fate is a cat that has a full stomach, has nothing to do, and is looking for happiness.
In this way, as an ordinary person who looks like a mouse under his palm, life will be much more difficult. It will play you under its claws, watch you scream in pain, watch you panic, watch you run around and can't escape.
Probably, the more painful you are, the happier it is. In the end, it will end your miserable life when you are dying and when you have no strength to escape.
So, I've never liked cats, even though mice are so annoying. I don't like cats, and I don't like the game of life and death between cats and mice.
Essay 4 To be honest, at the end, I was somewhat moved by this book. Especially the dream confession after the death of the pupil cut and the mirror.
When many people are alive, they will be dissatisfied with themselves, and they will fantasize about themselves, dream of them, and fantasize about them...... Someone else or someone else whom they envy in one way or another.
For example, why didn't I come from such a rich family? Why did such a amorous woman become his wife; It would be nice if my appearance was a little better, preferably exactly like so-and-so star; How nice it would be if someone loved me...... In fact, we all look at the world with a kind heart.
In fact, many people show the good and beautiful side in public. But what is behind this goodness and beauty?
Perhaps, everything behind this is not so glamorous. Most people have a deep black hole in their hearts; In the depths of most people's emotions, there are endless knots; At the bottom of most people's minds, there are endless contradictions.
It's just that we can't synaesthesia, we only know everything about ourselves, but we can't understand others. Nevertheless, with the help of a simple way of pushing oneself and others, one can know this and this.
Essay 5: The pear fall in the previous life, and the cut pupils in this life, how sad it is! Riro died at the bottom of the deep sea because of her impure blood.
When she has pure bloodline and becomes the Lan Shang she wanted to be in her previous life, she loses Cassel's love forever.
Love, for a woman, is about the same as her life. What a tragic reality!
How Lan Shang used to envy Liluo! When she was still a fish, she watched the two of them on the roof, Liluo and Cassel whispering love words, how she wished that the people around Casso were herself, not Liluo.
When Lan Shang called Lijing, what she showed to Casso was the voice and figure of Liluo hundreds of years ago.
She played herself as a pear fall, but she completely lost herself. When Cassel called out to her that the pear had fallen, the deep penetration of self-consciousness made her almost suffocate in the loss of self.
Although at this time, her name is Lijing, but in the deep layers of the subconscious, she is still the former Lan Shang, and now, what she is trying her best to portray is the role of Liluo.
These contradictions make her miserable, and in these painful contradictions, she also knows that she can't get Cassel's true love.
Because, she understands that what Cassel loves deeply is still the previous pear fall. So, all she got was loss, tears and heartache.
Pear Fall and Cut Pupils, Lan Shang and Lijing, in the vicissitudes of life and death, experienced the role and identity they once longed for, but they did not get the joy and happiness they once longed for.
These are two tragedies, in my opinion. Think about it carefully, how can this thing in this world not be like this?
If the pupils are cut in this life, the body and mind are completely the pears of the previous life; It's not like in the novel: the cut pupils in this world are the mind of Liluo, and the figure of Lan Shang.
If the mirror of this life is gone, the body and mind are completely the clothes of the previous life; is not like in the novel: the departure from the mirror in this world is Lan Shang's mind and Liluo's figure.
If they in this life are still the unity of their mind and body in the previous life, then, according to general reasoning, it is entirely possible for them to be happy.
Whether it is fiction or reality, the god of fate often refuses to fulfill people's wishes, and the god of fate will definitely make arrangements that backfire.
Most of the time, things in the world will go wrong, and this is the normal state of life.
Otherwise, it seems difficult to show the power of the god of fate. The two major themes of the six literatures are love and death.
。 All problems, no matter how they are presented, in the realm of literature, especially in fiction, in most cases, these problems can be reduced to the two points of love and death, and the same is true of "Phantom City".
This novel is made up of a series of loves, in which there are many deaths, which in turn are caused by love. In this era, we used to attach great importance to the ancients, and it was very popular in the old era
The word "friendship" is rarely mentioned again. The love between peers seems to be all that remains
"Love" too. is full of novels, film and television dramas, and many times, there are only
"Love" is an emotion. I often wonder if there wasn't one
"Love", whether a new novel can be circulated and whether it will be accepted by readers, has probably become a problem.
"Phantom City" is one of the eternal themes of the novel
"Love" has made a different interpretation. It uses the love of non-loving brothers and sisters to give birth to chapters that can also move people.
Brotherly and sisterly affection, in this way
In the era of "fewer children and better births", it is gradually dying out and gradually forgotten. I don't know how the author conceived it, at least in my opinion, he took the route of differentiation, and he made the love of brothers and sisters the main thread, the main link, and the main origin of the novel.
at
In a city where "a couple has only one child", this novel can probably also become a fairy tale for many young people born in the eighties and later.
After reading this book, they may say, "Ah! There is still such an emotion in the world that can make people so moved.
I think that as a rural village 80 years ago, we should be happy. Because we have brothers and sisters, and each family has at least two siblings.
Although, when we were young, we would also fight, argue, and have conflicts, but in the bottom of our hearts, in our blood, we will all realize that there is an inseparable family affection that connects us.
When we are separated from each other, they will miss us from afar, and we will care for them in the same way.
For Baixiang Mountain
"When you look at the bright moon, you should cry, and your hometown will be the same in five places overnight." We will have the same feeling of family affection and the same feeling of lovesickness.
Perhaps because of this, when I watched "Phantom City", I could better see the brotherhood and sister love in the novel, and I would have a little more experience of the emotions in it.
Loose Seven Kaso and Sakura; Dieche and Chi Mo; Star Old and Star Tracks; Luna and sister. These are all people who are entangled in the love of brothers and sisters.
They were all hurt by these deep brotherhoods. However, they feel that no matter how much they pay for this friendship, it is worth it for them, and they are happy to have such feelings.
In the days when Cassel and Sakura took refuge in the mortal world, Cassel would kill people for his younger brother Sakura.
Because, he felt, his brother was everything to him. After Casso mistakenly killed his younger brother Sakura, he took great risks and went to the Phantom Snow God Mountain without the slightest certainty, not for anything else, just so that his younger brother could be resurrected.
Sakura even did heinous things for the sake of his beloved brother's freedom. He insulted Lan Shang, how unforgivable and unforgivable it was.
He even wants to destroy the Phantom Snow Empire. Star Rail made Lotus Ji's Western Protector for her brother's sake.
Because in her, as long as she can be with her brother, she can do anything, and she is willing to do anything.
For the sake of his sister, the moon god went to learn the assassination technique that everyone hated. The author has even written about this kind of love a little incredible: what the moon god did for his sister was even able to resist the cold eyes of his parents!
Isn't Dieche's love for his brother Chi Mo the same? Essay 8 Of course, the novel does not reduce the weight of love in addition to the love of brothers, sisters and brothers.
But in contrast, the love between men and women is more than the love of brothers, and in this novel, it seems that the love between men and women is just two episodes.
The love between men and women, one is the love between Kasso and Liluo and Lanshang, and the other is the love between the emperor and the moon god.
Cassel's love will be discussed later. Let's talk about the love between the emperor and the moon god first. The love between the emperor and the moon god was gradually established in the process of fighting side by side in various harsh situations when they jointly protected Cassel and walked the Phantom Snow God Mountain, and because of their common journey, it was more real and practical.
Of course, this kind of truth and reality is compared to the marriage contract between the emperor and the sister of the moon god. Huang Ji has always emphasized that he loves the moon god not because of anything else, but simply because she is the moon god.
Some people think that such a big vernacular is actually nonsense. In fact, many of the big vernacular words in love are really nonsense, and people who have loved about it understand this.
Nonsense is nonsense, but some people accept this nonsense, and some people are willing to eat this nonsense, so it is still necessary to say it, and when the person who writes the book needs to write, the nonsense must also be written.
In addition, in the novel, this emphasis and repetition of Watchman is not entirely meaningless. One of the reasons is that because of this, the emperor and the sister of the moon god had a marriage contract.
The existence of a marriage contract gives emotions a reason to implant. No matter how the parties to the marriage contract recognize and treat the marriage contract, in the eyes of outsiders, intentionally or unintentionally, they will inevitably add emotional imagination to the marriage contract.
In life, many people empathize with each other in times of emotional crisis. What is empathy?
The so-called empathy, simply put, is the transfer of feelings. For example, for empathy to occur, the minimum number of characters must be three, let's call them A, B, and C.
Originally, A and B were a couple with feelings, but due to various reasons, there was an emotional crisis between A and B, for example, A and B turned against each other, B suddenly disappeared, B died suddenly, or B found a new love...... No matter what happens to B, A's feelings for B are still there, and at this time, there is a C, and because A's feelings for B are there and B is no longer around, A moves his feelings for B to C.
Here, the reason why A empathizes with C is not because A really likes C in his heart, but because C and B have too many similarities, such as voice, appearance, demeanor, and temperament...... This emotion is neither real, nor pure, nor pure.
After understanding the principle of empathy, and then looking at the emperor's confession to the moon god, there will probably no longer be a suspicion of idle writing.
For a woman like the moon god who keeps everything in her heart, the emphasis and repetition of the emperor are completely necessary.
It can be said that the emperor and the moon god are happy, although their end is a tragedy. The Emperor expressed his love for the Moon God with his life, and the Moon God also loved the Emperor from the bottom of his heart.
This kind of love can probably only be seen in novels. Think about it, in the real world, if there is such a scene, then, for the seed of infatuation, what is the regret of death?
Essay 9: This is a tragic story. Come to think of it, it seems that no one is wrong, so why is this still happening?
To use the usual tone, it is: everything is arranged by fate! Cassel is a tragedy.
He is the king of the Phantom Snow Empire, and he has supreme power and divine power, however, he can't live with the pear he loves for the rest of his life, and he can't protect Lan Shang who loves him.
All he had was an empty palace, a lingering, endless loneliness. Over the centuries, Cassel endured hardships and hardships to save his younger brother Sakura, but ruined his empire and took his own life.
Cassel's reunion with his brother, whom he had been looking forward to for hundreds of years, turned out to be a farewell to death. Pear fall is a tragedy. In fact, isn't the tragedy of Sakura also related to this?
When Pear Fall was still Pear Fall, because her own blood was impure, she couldn't stay with the people who loved her deeply and she loved her deeply, and died tragically at the bottom of the deep sea.
The god of fate, who likes to tease people, gives Riraku a chance, but it turns out to make her more miserable. The pear in this world has fallen into a cut pupil, but she has the appearance of a blue body.
In this life, although she has pure blood, but when Cassel spoke
After Lan Shang shouted, she instantly understood that the pain in her life would be deeper than in her previous life, because she had lost Cassel's love.
She is deeply in love with Cassel, whether it is when the pear falls in the previous life, or when the pupils are cut in this life. She died fighting for Cassel, and it was probably a consolation to her.
Arashi and Riro are the same tragedy. Look at how painful it is to love someone! Of course, loving someone is bound to be happy.
It's just that we, as bystanders, can't dissect much happiness from the tragedy when we see it.
Star Track is a tragedy. She is such a person with spiritual powers, however, the god of fate does not let her last long.
Originally, the birth of the star track made the entire astrology family proud, and everyone believed that the astrology family produced a genius-level astrologer.
However, it was the result of astrology that sowed a heavy burden and deep sorrow on the family.
Therefore, the star track can only be at the bottom of the astrological house. Star Rail is deeply in love with his brother Xing Lao, and for the sake of his relatives, Star Rail promised Yuan Sacrifice to be the protector of the West.
Originally, Star Rail thought that in this way he could be with his brother forever. Who knows, when she revealed her identity as the protector of the West and was surrounded by the Cassel people, she lost her entire world, her brother Xingjiu.
Star Rail is dead, pitiful, pathetic, and painful. Was she wrong? No. The others will not be elaborated on one by one.
Essay 10: This novel is still somewhat impressive. This seemingly refreshing book seems to have reopened a creative field.
In fact, after careful consideration, the novel is still deeply imprinted with the imprint of ordinary Chinese novels, and the influence of tradition can still be traced: in the previous life, Cassel and Sakura were shackled to a stone pillar and the snowbird who broke the chain and died.
This is reminiscent of the relationship between the Shenying attendant and the Zhuzhu Immortal Grass. The dream left by the star track when he died.
This is reminiscent of Zhuge Kongming's tips. Cassel's inability to bond with Pear Fall, as well as his later marriage, Cut Pupils and Leave the Mirror.
This is nothing more than a continuation of the relationship between the family and polygamy. ...... finished reading "Phantom City", I wrote such a few words in a miscellaneous manner, which can be regarded as an idle practice!
