Chapter 34 Sit and Talk

Luo Haifeng was silent for a long time before he spoke:

"I'm not shouting, I'm just describing a real world. Since you have read "Rage", you should be able to find that the plot development of the story is completely in line with reality, that is, what you think is the exaggerated dark side of human nature, is it rare in reality? So, I'm just describing a real world that people don't want to look at or turn a blind eye to. ”

"But in reality, no one would kill innocents indiscriminately in order to avenge their daughter, and even blew up a dozen or twenty unrelated policemen, don't you think this is already an act against humanity?"

"You can't look at the protagonist in the article in isolation, he was also forced to that situation step by step, the unjust death of his daughter, the indifference of society, the powerlessness of the law and the arrogance of power, finally made him choose to destroy everything, even if he is anti-human, it is because he feels that human beings are against him."

Lin Hai nodded:

"I recognize the process of psychological change of the protagonist in the book, I am just curious why you write this, maybe injustice and despair exist, but after all, this kind of thing is definitely not the mainstream of society, and today's society will not force all vulnerable people to death."

"Of course, this is not the case in any society, otherwise humanity would have perished a long time ago."

Lin Hai shrugged his shoulders and looked at Luo Haifeng with a smile, Luo Haifeng pushed his glasses and continued:

"You're right, literature likes to use extreme examples as objects of analysis, so we have to read with a critical eye, to know what is universal and what is extreme, to know where the bottom line is, to know where we are. Literature is a mirror, a mirror that reflects reality, there must be you and me, I show you the worst side of this reality, it is precisely because you are usually unwilling and afraid to face this ugly world, if you feel uncomfortable after reading it, psychological resistance and unacceptable, it just proves that I am right. ”

Lin Hai pouted secretly in his heart when he heard this, but his face didn't show anything, the reason why he discussed the work "Rage" with Luo Haifeng was not just because of his love for literature, but also because he planned to use this topic to get closer to Luo Haifeng, just like he used the name of a literature lover to quickly close the relationship with Zheng Yaoxin, what could be more effective than discussing an author's proud work.

Therefore, even if Lin Hai does not agree with Luo Haifeng's statement so much, it is impossible to completely say his true thoughts, and he and Luo Haifeng have not yet reached a relationship where they can talk about anything.

And the reason why Lin Hai disagrees with Luo Haifeng's point of view is that the book "Rage" is too dark, the story of "Rage" is not complicated, it can even be said to be very simple, it tells the story of an ordinary middle school chemistry teacher, the teacher's daughter was fascinated by a second-generation drug and then ruined, the chemistry teacher embarked on the road of defending rights for his daughter, but all the evidence witnesses fell overnight, and even the second generation manipulated public opinion and turned himself from a criminal to a victim, Under the pressure of reversing right and wrong and surging public opinion, the poor girl committed suicide, and soon her mother went crazy because she couldn't accept the facts, and the chemistry teacher had no way to defend her rights, and finally killed her crazy wife with her own hands, and then created a dead end, deliberately kidnapped the second generation, and threatened the second generation's father with the life of the second generation, and coerced the police to bring all the witnesses to the scene, and finally a shocking explosion sent all the people involved to hell

This book has more than 100,000 words, and there are more than 100 characters, but except for the mother and daughter who died unjustly, there is no good person in it, including the chemistry teacher who is anti-human and anti-social in the end, the witness who perjured for various reasons, and those onlookers on the Internet who don't know the so-called, in Luo Haifeng's book, even the law enforcement agencies have become accomplices in a sense, and even those special police officers who only occupy a few sentences have become killing tools who can only carry out orders.

Lin Hai felt that this was definitely not a social reality, and everyone had compassion, otherwise this society would have been finished, so Lin Hai felt that Luo Haifeng's book was too dark, and Lin Hai even guessed that Luo Haifeng also had some anti-social attributes in his heart.

This thought was just a matter of blink of an eye, but Lin Hai's momentary hesitation still did not escape Luo Haifeng's eyes, and he asked with a playful smile:

"You don't seem to agree with me, so what do you think of this book? What do you think I am writing this book for? ”

"This... To be honest, my literary level is very low, so I won't show ugliness in front of you, as for what you just said, I don't think it's inappropriate, it's just that I can't accept it for a while, and I'll think about it later. ”

"Young man, I don't like to hear you say that, since you have read the book, you will definitely have your own ideas, which has nothing to do with the high level of literature, could it be that you are worried that what you say is not to my liking and will affect your work? You're underestimating me if you think so, aren't you? ”

Lin Hai shook his hand helplessly:

"No, I really don't mean that, I just think some of the class have an axe, but since you want to hear it, I'll be cheeky and tell you what you think."

Luo Haifeng squeezed out a smile half-truthfully and said:

"You say, as an editor, I'd love to know what you think."

Lin Hai smiled bitterly in his heart, his acting skills are still not up to par, presumably his careful thinking and methods have long been seen through by the wise old man opposite, and now Luo Haifeng's words have the meaning of taking the school examination, and he wants to see if he is a qualified editor, so Lin Hai's approach is a bit of a cocoon.

Therefore, it is better to be a man with fewer routines and be sincere, especially in front of the old fox, don't think that you are very smart.

Lin Hai straightened his body slightly, and said seriously:

"This has nothing to do with my profession, as an ordinary reader, I think your book is a bit biased, you describe so many characters in the book, I summed it up, except for the mother and daughter who died unjustly, there is no good person, which does not match the world we know."

"Good guys? That's really... Childish! There are no good people and bad people in this world, good people and bad people are determined by their positions, you just preset a position for yourself first, and as a result, you get the impression that there is no good person in the book, so what if you change your position? For example, what do you think of the second-generation father? What if you proceed from the leadership of law enforcement? What if you start from the standpoint of the people who eat melons and don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement? ”

Lin Hai was stunned, and suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment, as if there was an invisible door opened in his mind!

Human nature, morality, law, individuality, group, justice, evil... All these concepts that had been solidified in Lin Hai's soul were all liberated at this moment, just like dandelion seeds that had broken away from the mother's body, these seeds flew up with the brainstorming caused by Luo Haifeng, and the pom-pom, which was originally only a little big, was now filled with the entire sky of thought, constructing a brand-new, three-dimensional new structure.

Countless thoughts and flashes erupted in Lin Hai's soul, colliding with countless new concepts and ideas, although Lin Hai couldn't summarize a complete cognitive system for a while, but he could clearly feel that his perception of the world had a new idea.

"Position? That's right, Position! It's the stand! What you want to say in the book is that the essence of social relations is the process of fighting for the right to speak?! However, why did the protagonist choose to destroy everything completely instead of using the prepared camera equipment to reveal everything on the scene? His thoughts and demands were not conveyed at all! ”

Luo Haifeng glanced at Lin Hai with admiration, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes, as if he was envious of other people's children.

"Hehe, it's finally a little interesting, the reason why the protagonist will change his mind and destroy everything is because he finally woke up and understood that he himself is no longer a victim who demands justice and fairness, in fact, he is no different from those who have ruined his family, and he is also using all means to pursue his own interests."

Lin Hai thought for a while, nodded and said:

"But he can choose to give up."

"How can he give up, in that case, how can he explain to his daughter who died unjustly, and how can he explain to his wife who was killed by his own hands, so he can only choose to destroy."

"But why didn't he let those innocent people go?"

"Innocent, there are no innocent people in this world, especially for him, destruction is the strongest voice he can make, so he decided to leave the world not the truth of this matter, but the truth of the nature of the world."

I have the power to choose to destroy you or not to destroy you, so I choose to destroy you!

This terrible logic made Lin Hai stunned, and a layer of cold sweat broke out behind his back, Luo Haifeng's thoughts really scared him a little, peeling off the coat of modern civilization, it turns out that the essence of human society is still the power game of Chiguoguo, this conclusion is enough to make every individual of the vulnerable group sleep.

Looking at Lin Hai, whose face was a little ugly, Luo Haifeng showed a real smile for the first time.

"Got it? That's right, that's the truth I'm trying to tell the reader, isn't that a little scary? ”

"Well, it's fine, but it's a little scary, but now I'm even more curious, can such a book be published? I'm not sure anyone in the audit department will not see what you're trying to say. ”

Luo Haifeng laughed:

"In your favorite words, you're still too young, too simple! Since it can be published, there must be a reason, you try to guess why this book was published? ”

Lin Hai thought for a while and said:

"Unless it's in their interest, but..."

Luo Haifeng waved his hand to interrupt Lin Hai's words, his range of movements seemed a little large, and there was a hint of smugness on his face:

"Yes, it is in their interests, I heard Lao Ye say that you are learning management, you should know what the true meaning of management is."

"What is the true meaning of management? Isn't it rules and efficiency? ”

"Cut, superficial, you read in vain, the true meaning of management is to follow the trend and build momentum, the potential is everything can be done, just like digging a good river, the river will be mighty and down, management is actually digging the river. In the same way, what is the trend today? It's the legal system, it's clean government, and it's the fairness of the distribution of social benefits, so although my book is written about the dark side, it is enough to serve as a warning mirror, so it can be published. ”

Lin Hai looked at the rare sly smile on Luo Haifeng's face, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and then sighed and said:

"I thought..."

"Do you think I'm just a tenacious literati? You can't imagine I'm so cunning, right? You forget, my dear friend is a sociologist who has even his bone marrow black! Haha..."

Lin Hai laughed dryly when he heard this, and he was still smart not to comment on the question of whether the bone marrow of Lord Taishan was black in the future.
