This is the promise and blessing of Raccoon Town Mayor Mike Wood to his voters on Christmas Day '97.

"Looks like we didn't have the chance to go there to study! We're going to college in September! ”

"Hey! Don't be so frustrated! Old! The top three of those top-notch universities are all the same! It's just that the soup is changed and the medicine is not changed, and the place is bigger. Who are you waiting for?! ”

Sandys said, lowering the Walkman in her ear.

"Hello Sandys, I'm waiting for Gogar. What's wrong with that guy?! As the president of the student council and the class president, I was late! I'm going to be late if I don't come. Chen Wu tightened the black M65 short coat on his body as he spoke.

"That's big news! Gao Ge is late! He must have lost his glasses! I'll go first! Good bye! Old! Hi! Cool girl! Wait!"

"Shut up! Hurry up! Did you find the rap I asked you to download last time? ”

Chen Wu, the youngest son of the owner of the Chinese restaurant "Sichuan Vegetable Garden", is 18 years old. Born in Raccoon Town, he attended Raccoon Town High School. He is also a three-point shooter on the school basketball team, a third-generation Chinese immigrant born and raised in the United States, and some people call him the "Banana Man", which is the least he likes to hear, and now he is waiting for his friend Gao Ge.

"Hi Chen! I'm late, sorry! I forgot to wipe the boot oil of my leather shoes last night. ”

"You're here! Do you have to wipe your shoe polish every day? Hey! Goge, you act like you're working in the White House, and you think of your student council president as your life, man! ”

"It all starts with the smallest work! Scrupulous! That's what my mom said. Let's go! Old! ”

Gao Ge said and straightened the tie on his collar again. He lifted the short-sighted glasses that were on his face.

Gao Ge, full name Gao Ge. Davitz, the student council president of Raccoon Town High School, is a highly talented student and ranked first in the whole school. It is a black student with excellent character and academic performance.

He was of medium height, with a lean build, shiny and seductive slippery dark brown skin, a long round face, fine curly hair peculiar to blacks, a short and flat haircut, a pair of large, bright eyes on his face, a broad head, upright facial features, and a signature 400-degree black-framed myopic glasses on his nose, giving people the impression of being polite and polite, like a stereotypical gentleman.

Gao Ge. Davids and his family, who were born in the American South for generations, moved to Raccoon Town in 1988 with their family, a father who was a barber and a mother who was a standard Southern housewife. There is also a sister who works as a salesperson in a clothing store in Raccoon Town and may be preparing to get married this year.

"Have you figured it out? Old. Gao Ge asked.

"I, what do I think?"

"Oh my God! University! Which university did you apply to? I want to go to Yale! Or Oregon State University, close to home! That's right! If you apply to Oregon State University, then I'll go too. How about being a companion? ”

"Not bad! But I haven't figured it out yet, you don't have to ask if you want to be a politician! Or the clergy?! It's your dream, isn't it! Chen Wu said with a smile as he walked.

"Of course, but I need to have a degree and a background first. I'm serious and hope to get into the White House in the future. What can I do for my constituents? What about you? ”

"I haven't thought about it yet, but I'm definitely not going to run a Chinese restaurant. My brother and I have been doing this for three generations, with my dad and my grandfather! I don't want to do it! ”

"Is that so?" Gao Ge said.

"Don't you say it in that tone, okay? I feel like I'm witnessing history! I walked side by side with the first black president in the history of the United States! Gao Ge. Davits! I am so glorified! Chen Wu tightened his schoolbag and said.

"That's right! You are witnessing history! Old! Look at it! I'll include you in my presidential memoirs in the future! I will succeed! ”

Saying that, Gao Ge made a shape!

The two good friends talked and chatted, and in the crisp and humid morning air, laughing at each other, they walked side by side with the other students into Acre High School.

"May I ask if any of you have read the book "The Native Son", and who can talk about the book "The Native Son" in American literature? And his significance? ”

As soon as the teacher finished speaking, several students in the classroom raised their hands at the same time.

"Gao Ge! You speak first. ”

The teacher almost didn't even look at it and called Gao Ge, and in the teacher's eyes, Gao Ge simply had to answer questions.

"The Native Son" was published in New York in 1938 by the black writer Charlie Brown. Written by Dry, there is one of the most representative and innovative black literatures. The author has changed the role of black people in similar literary works in the past as persecuted and discriminatory, and instead used the main character 'Big. Thomas's body is in a specific history and context, because he is misunderstood, frightened and loses his mind, and inadvertently acts to protect himself. Including killing his own white patron's daughter, and at the same time he himself was frightened by the murder and had a nervous breakdown! killed his black girlfriend, and was finally caught by the police and sentenced to death.

The book shows the unjust side of American society at that time, especially the upper class, towards blacks. But what is more memorable is the author's description of the protagonist's heart. ”

Gao Ge replied in one breath.

"Excellent! Is there anyone else who would like to add now? The teacher looked at the students who were going to be under the podium, and no one raised their hands. No! One student raised his hand. Is it Chen Wu?

"Tell me, Chen!" The teacher called out to Chen Wu.

"Nope! I feel that the main character is Big. Thomas didn't kill the other person unintentionally, especially the white man. But they already have thoughts of revenge in their hearts, and they can also be said to teach them a lesson. Or maybe the author expresses this technique very implicitly. ”

The classroom was silent for a while! But Chen Wu didn't seem to want to pause yet, and then said:

At the beginning of the article, or in the first chapter of the book, the protagonist's family is poor and uses a cooking pan to kill a mouse, and here the author has built a stage for him in writing, that is, the surrounding scene and background, describing the poverty of his family scene and the injustice of the times he writes about in this society and the book. Unable to go to school because of poverty, he was honest and honest because of the color of his skin, and he became extremely afraid of the white dominated society, and his inner world was unjust and angry at what happened to him. In order to survive, you have to face all this.

"Showing its good side is, and is the last. In the book, he kindly helped the white lady who was unconscious because of drunkenness, but was mistaken by others for being indecent to him. This would have burned him alive on the spot at the time! He killed the unconscious white lady out of fear of white people, and it can be seen that the fear in his heart turned into resentment and finally exploded, it was his extreme fear and fear of the society at that time, so resentment arose! It can be said that it is generated in such a psychological soil. This is what caused him to inadvertently but start, a deliberate rebellion against an unjust society. In other words, there must be a cause and an effect. ”

"Nope! No, I disagree! Gao Ge said.

"A person can do a lot of things that are usually unimaginable when they are frightened. He was frightened, not vengeful! Not bad! The social background at that time was really the reason why he took the risk, which cannot be said that he had the idea of revenge. It's like a person who has never had a criminal record on the battlefield and who has violated the rules with his car, but he must shoot and kill someone who has no grievances with him. Because the protagonist's life is in danger, I think the author uses the protagonist more to describe the surrounding scene and social scene at that time. Otherwise, why didn't the author portray him as a thief and robber forced by life? Or a similar role? In this way, the word "resistance" can be better reflected. ”

"That's a good point. But if you don't kill someone on the battlefield, someone else will kill you. But everyone is at a fair start. Individually, good is weak and strong, only the number of opportunities and resources, everything is relative. Gogg: We're talking about a book. A novel. And not humanity in war. These are two concepts. Chen Wu turned his face to Gao Ge and said.

"But Chen, you should see that the battlefield in the book is the society at that time, and our warrior is the protagonist Big. Thomas, and the enemy was racist and unjust with the society of the time. Isn't it enough that he overreacts to the danger to his life when he is mistaken by the white man for an indecent assault on the white lady. It's true that this is not a battlefield of war and reality, but the principle is the same. Old. Gao Ge said very seriously to Chen Wu.

There were only two of them in the classroom, and the debate was not very loud. But it can feel like a bullet coming and going on the battlefield. The two of them barely give each other a chance to pause and think! The whole class had to listen to each other.

Even the teacher half-sat on the podium and listened very carefully.

"Alright! It was a great discussion! You two are doing well. It seems that I have read this book very carefully. I am happy! Very good! The teacher clapped his hands as he spoke.

"You have to pay attention to a book, a character, and an author. He does not represent the whole of that era, or it is inevitable that there will be errors and one-sided expressions, so everyone should read more similar books and reference books. All right! Tomorrow we will talk about the relationship between blacks and whites in the era of the North and South in the United States. 'Slaves and slave owners, or men and men. 'Good! Remember, everyone! After the teacher finished speaking, the bell suddenly rang at the end of class!

"Good! We had a nice lesson today! I wish you all a good lunch. Good bye! The teacher walked out of the classroom with a smile on his face.

"Well done! Old! ”

"You're not good, aren't you? Gao Ge, why don't you become a soldier! Maybe be a black general again. ”

"Forget it, I'm sure we still have something to talk about."

"Okay, I'm going to tidy up my closet, and we'll be out of here in a few months." Chen Wu said a little sadly.

"Okay, I'll go to the cafeteria first! Waiting for you there. ”

Gao Ge always felt that Chen Wu was speaking strangely just now.

Seeing Gao Ge leave, Chen Wu opened his cabinet, which was actually very clean and tidy. There are celebrity posters on the door of the cabinet like the other students, Chen Wu's is different! Not those handsome men and hotly dressed beauties in Hollywood, but pictures of several generals.

They are Nimitz, Patton, Rommel, Chuikov, Berard, etc., Chen Wu took them off and folded them and put them in his school bag, and then there were two pictures of the largest and favorite generals in the innermost part of the cabinet, he took out the two pictures and held them very solemnly in his hand, looked at them and said in a very emotional tone: "Hey, will you fight for America?" ”

Those two pictures are the horizontal sword map of the famous general "Guan Yu" of the Three Kingdoms and the marshal uniform of "Peng Dehuai", the commander-in-chief of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, in the Korean War.

After Chen Wu finished speaking, he put them away, but he didn't fold them up and carefully put them in his schoolbag. Pressed on a piece of paper that read, "Welcome to the U.S. Navy!" ”
