Happiness Ferris wheel
The Ferris wheel, in many film and television novels, is known as the meaning of happiness and love.
However, in Yang Fan's book, the happiness represented by the Ferris wheel has been transformed into other meanings.
Today's story is roughly as follows:
The remaining twenty-five people lined up to enter the fifth level, which is known as the Ferris wheel of happiness.
Everyone lined up one by one to board the Ferris wheel in accordance with the order. On the Ferris wheel, everyone is anxiously waiting for whether this level will be interlocked like the previous two levels, taking advantage of their psychological defects to attack.
But, obviously, they overthink.
This level is very calm. There were no horrific scenes, and there was no decision to let them kill each other for the right to live.
However, their tense hearts and the peaceful atmosphere mean that there is a murderous motive lurking in this level.
What is happiness? The protagonist sits alone on the Ferris wheel, looking out the window in the gray silence.
Happiness is defined differently for everyone. Some people think that happiness is accompanied by family, lovers, and hot meals every day.
However, this kind of person is just a definition.
Many people change the meaning of happiness as they get older.
Many times, happiness is actually simple for everyone, but sometimes it is difficult.
Because sometimes, most people can't do anything to change what hinders people from pursuing happiness.
After all, those obstacles are either life or time.
Life can also be changed through hard work, or it can be repeated when it fails, and the time that passes is never going back...
On the calm Ferris wheel, the protagonist sees the happiness he once wanted to pursue.
The protagonist used to think that happiness was a family and sat down together for a meal. Of course, this family does not include their own parents, but only refers to the family of relatives.
However, as I get older, there are relatives who leave.
The protagonist's belief in happiness is to investigate the truth about the death of a loved one and the expectation that the family will live more.
This is also the motivation for him to study hard, and he has always lived because of this. He believes in justice, and although justice is late, it will never be forgotten with time.
At the same time, the violent boy also sees his happiness.
His previous happiness was that no one bullied him in the future, and he could rely on hard work. Earn money to make grandma live a good life.
However, when he began to bully others and began to return to the big city to study, the distance between him and his grandmother was also far away, and his busy school and extreme personality made him and his grandmother only talk on the phone once a week or even once a month.
Even during the summer vacation after the college entrance examination, he did not return to his hometown to accompany his grandmother.
This sense of distance, coupled with his adolescence and yearning for the future. It made him gradually forget the original dream of fighting for his grandmother, and also made him define the initial happiness as something else.
In this way, seeing the picture of his grandmother bringing herself up with hard work, the violent boy rarely felt a trace of guilt...
And a hint of sadness.
And the person who maintained order in the first level also saw the happiness he expected.
What he thinks of as happiness is that he hopes to be able to become a rich man.
In order to achieve this goal, or rather, in order to experience happiness, he worked hard every day, and spent twenty years to transform from a poor boy who had nothing and just came out of the countryside to a rich man.
At the same time, when he became a rich man, he also gained love, married a good-looking and highly educated woman, and gained two daughters.
This makes the man think that this is the happiness he wants.
However, it is clear that this happiness will not last long, because the gap between the education and living habits of the husband and wife is too great.
After only seven years, the woman couldn't stand his bad problems and filed a request for divorce, and after more than a year of trouble, the two finally had to part ways and divorce.
And what he initially thought was the most valuable, money and his daughter, were also awarded to the woman.
It also made him very sad, thinking that he was once again left with nothing.
During that time, he was eager to find a short meeting. However, thinking that he actually had hope, that is, to see his daughter once a month, this hope made him insist on living.
It also made him work harder, hoping to make a comeback so that he could give his daughter the best.
Unexpectedly, both daughters were killed in this amusement park game.
And his current happiness and hope to live have gradually changed from letting his daughters have a better life to helping his daughters avenge this hateful dream!
The so-called happiness of these three people is constantly changing, and in the same way, the protagonist and the person who maintains order are now happy to take revenge.
Is the goal of happiness still happiness?
This left the two of them deep in thought.
Similarly, the last girl, looking at the scene of the whole family eating together on the Ferris wheel of happiness, remembering the scene about happiness with her heart, she will not change the goal of happiness, nor will she recall that happiness.
Because she knows that happiness is enough as long as she has it.
Happiness and beauty don't need to be talked about all the time, and they don't need to be in front of us from time to time.
Cherish every minute and every second now, and you will definitely be destined to have a new happiness in the future.
Today's story ends abruptly here.
Today's story has made many people confused, because today's level does not have the slightest horror or supernatural elements, but it is very bland. But it is this blandness that makes them suddenly want to think about the meaning of happiness like the story characters in the book.
Perhaps, for everyone, plainness is actually happiness.
After Yang Fan looked at those mixed comments, he lay on the bed and suddenly remembered a sentence he had read before.
That sentence is what Mr. Lu Xun said: Studying medicine can't save the Chinese people.
At that time, Yang Fan, who was in an angry youth, disagreed with this sentence very much.
Because, he felt, saving people's lives seemed to be more useful than those literati who used their writing to sway people's thoughts.
However, it wasn't until he became a doctor and a writer at the same time that he really felt that sometimes, the profession of a doctor was actually very helpless.
It is also because doctors can only save one person, and in the face of those terminally ill patients, most doctors are powerless like those ordinary people in the book.
But the writer is different, although he can't save people's lives, but he can save people's minds. Tell people what is right in this impetuous society.
Perhaps, saving readers, this is also the so-called happiness in Yang Fan's eyes.
