Chapter 133: "Where the Night Guest Returns"
As soon as Dongfang Siyi entered the house after work, he received a call from Sijijun, editor of the weekend edition of "Time": "What are you busy with?" I've called a few times and no one answered, and I haven't seen a judge as busy as you. ”
"That means you haven't met a few judges, but if you see more, you will know the hardships of this profession. I just got home, won't you invite me to dinner, I'm still hungry, tell me where are you, I'll rush over. Dongfang Siyi teased.
"Shall I invite you to dinner? I don't know which way the door opened now. You still owe me a big meal that you haven't cashed, don't think about it. I'm on night shift in the editorial department now, you quickly turn on the computer, and we'll discuss your manuscript on QQ, this issue is too late, and the next weekend edition will definitely be published. I have some comments and ideas for your reference, you can listen to them, take a look, and if the opinions are reasonable, please make some appropriate changes to this manuscript. ”
Dongfang Siyi walked into the study and turned on the computer, and replied on the phone: "Of course, the opinions of Four Seasons Jun should be highly valued, I am writing this manuscript from my own point of view, I may think more from a legal point of view, there may be some problems from your point of view, you can point it out, we can discuss it." ”
Four Seasons and Dongfang Siyi first discussed the title of this manuscript, and Dongfang Siyi's original title was "The Gray Back of an Era", which Sijijun felt was obviously inappropriate, neither novel and attractive, nor able to summarize the stories told in these two cases.
Four Seasons Jun thinks that these two case stories can't be used to talk about women's emancipation, this topic is too big, it is better to talk about Ayu's mother-in-law's coarse white cloth, which is a symbolic thing, a feudal prop that stifles women, and the threshold used by Xianglin's sister-in-law to atone for her sins has similarities.
Although the times have made great progress, the new era we live in today is far from the old era in which Xianglin's sister-in-law lived. However, the threshold donated by Xianglin's sister-in-law and the coarse white cloth woven by Ayu's mother-in-law have not completely disappeared from life, and they are still influencing the fate of contemporary women.
Regarding the tragedy that happened to Ah Yue, it is not only the conceptual conflict between women in the two eras, but actually reflects the discrimination against the value of women by the remnants of patriarchal society, that is, the ideological remnants of feudal society.
Granny Ah Yue is a victim of feudal ideology and a persecutor of Ah Yue, a woman in the new era. Granny Ah Yue's ideology does not represent her personally, but the feudal patriarchal ideology of the past, which only regards women as a reproductive tool to continue the family incense.
Granny Ah Yue is the inheritor of this old ideology, and she is destined to be the last successor. Because the times are different after all, this old ideology has been gradually abandoned by society. Ah Yue is a new generation of women who are destined not to be bound by this ideology, she cannot succumb to this outdated and backward ideology, nor can she become the inheritor of another generation of outdated ideas like her mother-in-law, on the contrary, she is destined to become a break with the old era.
Dongfang Siyi felt that what Sijijun said was very reasonable, so he agreed with his proposed revisions, and the two agreed that the title of this issue of the draft would be changed to "Shameful Eros".
"I can't just pay attention to the social and legal significance, I also have to think from the perspective of newspaper distribution, and I want to increase the readability of the article, so that I can absorb a little more eyeballs," said Sijijun. Otherwise, if one day, no one buys our newspaper and no one reads it, I will be unemployed. If you agree, then it's decided, and the manuscript will be used in the next issue. ”
Since the launch, the avatar frame of where the dream is going has been flickering, and after chatting with Sijijun about the draft, Dongfang Siyi suddenly felt that she had a lot to say to her: "Hello." ”
Where did the dream return: "Hello, are you done?" Dongfang Siyi smiled when he saw that it was an automatic reply, and even the way to greet him had a fixed wording.
"Have you changed your chat background? It's a lot like a café I frequent, is this a café? Why did you think of changing this background? Where does the dream go.
"Yes, you have to find a suitable place to chat, I think the café is the best place to chat, I didn't expect this background to be similar to the place you frequent, this is also the same vision, similar views. However, this café is exclusive, exclusive to the two of us, and does not accept anyone but you and me, do you like this new place to chat? Dongfang Siyi then said: "If you like it too, you might as well give it a name." ”
"Loved it, you always have new ideas to surprise people. A café with only two people, then use the names of the two of us, and call it 'Where are the night guests', what do you think? Where did the dream go, he seemed very happy, and sent a few cute expressions in a row.
"Why add the word 'he'? What do you think is the meaning of the word 'Ho'? What kind of connection does it have with your heart? You don't add it for no reason, does it release a subconscious within you? Dongfang Siyi asked in a series of questions.
"No trace of mine can escape your eyes, and the reason why I want to add this word 'he' in particular is because where I go and where I return is a state of uncertainty, and there are many, many uncertain things in life. I often wonder, why did I meet you? Instead of bumping into other people? What kind of ending will we have? Do we need to have an ending? Can we just keep talking and chatting in this virtual space? Unexpectedly, you gave me a surprise today. Well, hahaha, we have a definite name for this space for dialogue, 'Where are the nights' café, what will our tomorrow be? What kind of tomorrow do we need? There are too many uncertainties, which makes me feel that the word 'He' is indispensable. By the way, the word in my screen name is also because of uncertainty, it is my real psychological state. Some people will say that this is a kind of confusion, but I just want to say that this is the real state of my life, both a real state of life and a real state of mind. ”
"The word 'He' reminds me of the words of Li Bai's "Bodhisattva Man": The flat forest is like smoke in the desert, and the cold mountains are sad and blue. Twilight into the high-rise building, some people upstairs worried. The jade stands in the air, and the birds return to fly in a hurry. Where is the return journey, the long pavilion is shorter. Li Bai's lyrics are not much, but his "Bodhisattva Man" and "Remembering Qin'e" have a great influence on Song Ci, "Bodhisattva Man, Pinglin Desert Smoke is like weaving" is one of the popular works, I like the last sentence of this poem very much: "Where is the return journey, the long pavilion is shorter", no matter where you live, thinking of this classic sigh through the ages, I will think that many roads in life are what you have to walk, and you can't bypass them. ”
"Maybe you have a lot of difficulties in this process, and if you choose to move forward without hesitation, you have to face one long pavilion after another in front of you. You don't have a choice, it's one stop after another that you have to go through in your life. Our return journey is not our return journey, we are not going back, and it is impossible to go back, many roads cannot be returned, and there is no turning back in life for us to choose. Our return journey is actually the other side we hope to reach in our journey, and it is the destination of our lives. Whether you like it or not, like it or not, everyone will eventually face this fate, and it is the end chapter of life that can never be bypassed. ”
This kind of thinking brings anxiety and sadness, but it is impossible not to think about it, although in the day-to-day life, it is only occasionally thought about to prove that you are not the walking dead. We are all one of the many living beings, inseparable from the fireworks in the world, every day when I open my eyes, the first thing I think about is which vegetable market to go to, whether to buy vegetables or turnips. Then, I started to go around in circles around a bunch of things that I had to do every day, and my life had been in place since many years ago, with no long pavilions and no short pavilions, only a round pavilion. ”
"That's my truest feeling, life is too flat. Fortunately, I am faced with lively and lovely teenagers every day, they have hopes, ideals and futures, they are full of vitality, and they make me feel fulfilled and happy. To be honest, I don't think it's the teachers who are influencing them, but the teachers who are influencing them. Only when I am with them will I forget my troubles, forget all kinds of unhappiness in life, forget that there are many, many uncertain people and things in my life, uncertain future, and uncertain ending. ”
"We are all mortals, and we encounter all kinds of practical problems every day, and life cannot allow you to indulge in your own spiritual world. You have to face specific things like firewood, rice, oil, and salt, and you have to face people and things that you can't bypass. We are all animals that are susceptible to various natural and social environments, and although, we can modify them to make them more suitable for our own survival, not everyone has the ability and opportunity to change the environment in which they live. The choice we can make is to constantly adapt to this undesirable environment. ”
"If you're lucky, you can benefit from an ideal environment, and you're the beneficiary. Because your career in education is one of our relatively ideal environments. You said that from the children, you can see the shadow of your past, the young self, the young self, this is the positive impact of the environment on you. It's an environment of hope, an environment where you can imagine the future, and it's a pleasure to be in. The campus belongs to the youth, and the campus belongs to the youth. ”
"In a way, human beings are animals of the natural environment and social environment, and we must learn to adapt to the environment, and at the same time, we must also transform the environment to make the environment more humane. I myself am very fortunate to have an environment in which I am happy and happy. ”
