Chapter 18 postscript

The creative process is extremely painful for me.During the nearly three months of creation, I ate dinner and went to bed when I got home from get off work every day, and then got up again at 11 o'clock in the evening to write until late at night.This is done entirely to create a dark and depressing atmosphere for the creation of this novel. During this period, I was no different from going through a long tunnel, and I was in the dark "baptism" for a long time.When I walked out of this "tunnel", the dazzling light made me feel strongly uncomfortable. How would you describe this novel?In addition to writing, I have thought about this issue carefully. I think it is like a zero-score composition in the college entrance examination that exceeds the prescribed length, and it is a silent protest against the current Chinese education.I wanted to do this when I took the college entrance examination nine years ago, but I didn't have the guts at that time.

I have compiled the bad events that have happened to college students in recent years into the story, so that readers can think with me about the problems that have arisen in our country's education. In today's society, groups enjoying illegitimate interests are becoming more greedy and rampant, completely disregarding other people's life and death for self-interest; Vent a few words of "national curse" on the Internet, and then continue to indulge in illusions such as "World of Warcraft".This is the way most people live in the world today, and this is the continuation of the spirit of Ah Q that Mr. Lu Xun said in the current society.

We often only complain, but few people think about how to change this unfair status quo.This kind of laziness in thinking and lack of consciousness has deeply affected our college students.This group, which should be the most energetic, thoughtful, and thoughtful, has become a pool of stagnant water, and it is difficult to stir up any waves of thought. Contemporary college students have tragically become puppets produced under the production line of exam-oriented education. They don't want to take responsibility, are too lazy to plan their future, and don't know how to love.Their destinies are all controlled by silk threads, but few dare to break free from this bondage.Even if there are actions, due to the lack of correct ideological guidance, some college students just go to the other extreme of consciousness and do many things that deviate from social ethics and distort human nature.The tragedy of bleeding happened like this, how terrible this kind of education is!

I can't hope that a novel can change anything.Regardless of whether I write this novel or not, there will still be Ma Jiajue, Li Qiming, and Yao Jiaxin. This is the evil result of our hard-won education. But I think I have told all readers, especially college students, my truest thinking and most personal feeling; And the problems they encountered, think more, do more introspection, and jump out of the trouble of self-consciousness as soon as possible. I guess that's the only thing I can do right now. Let's talk about the novel itself.Regarding the plot arrangement of this novel, careful readers should not be difficult to see that in the whole novel, there is no specific expression of time of year, month, and day.

The reason why I write this is because of my difficulties. My design is to transplant all the vicious incidents that have attracted attention that happened to college students in recent years into this novel, but some of these incidents happened in previous years, and some happened in recent years. Gathered on one stage, there is bound to be a sense of time difference, so I deliberately blur the concept of time. But even if it is handled in this way, there will still be some problems, such as whether it is appropriate to design Sun Qiming as a child of an educated youth. A friend sharply pointed out after reading the novel: "In the previous story, Zhang Min's computer used the vista system, which was released in 2006. By the time of the second part (), Zhang Min had already left for internship. Explain that the case described in the novel happened after 2006, so Sun Qiming, as a college student, should be around 20 years old, belonging to the post-80s or even post-90s, but the book says that he is a "product" of the educated youth who went to the mountains and went to the countryside. Isn’t this contradictory for the post-70s generation?”

I can only explain it like this: First of all, the climax of the return of educated youth to the city was in 1978. Our old man returned to Tianjin in that year, but the return of educated youth to the city basically ended in 1983-1984.That is to say, before 1984, the educated youth who went to the countryside to jump in the queue were likely to give birth to their children in the countryside, and it was entirely possible for them to give birth to children born in the 1980s. Of course, even if I "quibble" like this, there will still be some deviations on the time axis.But in terms of plot design, I can't abandon the important issue of education for the next generation of educated youths sent to the countryside.

I really want to use a novel to cover more of the issues I want to talk about, and here I can only sacrifice the rationality of the plot in terms of time.Fortunately, in the original design, this novel did not spend too much time on the tricks of committing crimes, otherwise I would really be embarrassed.So, for readers who are serious about the time issue, I can only say sorry. Careful readers should be able to read that I did not convict any of the criminal suspects in the article, whether it is Sun Qiming, Song Tao, Qin Huan, Fan Haifang, or the county magistrate Song Huang.Whether they should be sentenced to death or with reprieve... In fact, it's not what I want to see.Punishment is only a result of justice, but it cannot make up for the process of causing pain to the victim (even the perpetrator).It is not corporal punishment or imprisonment that inflicts the greatest pain on people, but a kind of inner harm that crime inflicts on both parties.

Criminals should be punished by the law, but compared with punishment, the torture of guilt deep in their hearts is the most touching.Sentencing Yao Jiaxin to death made many people feel the joy of justice being done, but what I can feel is a kind of sadness, because not many people in society really understand the fragility and pain in the hearts of college students today.Just let it go like this, one Yao Jiaxin will fall down, and tens of thousands of Yao Jiaxins will stand up.What a horrible scene that was. Are Sun Qiming and Liu Xia alive or dead?What is their end? I won't give an answer, because this is not related to the topic, it's better to leave a little suspense.For people like Sun Qiming and Liu Xia, I actually have sympathy, hatred, and a little bit of admiration.Especially Sun Qiming, I really want him to appear again in the future series of novels, and the plot of him jumping off the cliff is designed out of this consideration.

As for Song Tao, who pretended to be Sun Qiming, did he admit to his crime of killing in a car accident?I think this is also a topic that can be left to the readers to discuss. As for the culprit, Song Huang, I have never made this official debut, they are all profile descriptions; as for Cao Jun and his son who used their power to seek personal gain, I did not give them any tendency to punish, because I think this is more in line with China. The reality of the situation—generally those who should be punished often get away with it. The topic of love between Hu Yuyan and Lin Ling is also an issue that some readers of "Big Sister" are more concerned about.

I want to say that I am not Qiong Yao, and I am not very good at writing romance novels, but I think I still prefer happy endings-I like one-on-one love.So I don't want to get a Chinese version of James?When Bond comes out, every episode of the story changes a beautiful woman to partner with Hu Yuyan. Regarding the love between Hu Yuyan and Lin Ling, I think I will design a more romantic ending that meets the aesthetic needs of the public—after all, I still like to watch comedies and happy endings. Of course, for Hu Yuyan, I have set up some foreshadowing for his physical deterioration in this novel, which is to pave the way for future stories. Careful readers may have already read that it is a heart attack.The tiredness of elite civil servants like Hu Yuyan just sets off the overstaffed status quo in many of our government agencies - in such a huge police station, apart from Hu, Xing, and Wang, there is no single criminal police officer.This is probably another tragedy.Of course, this has nothing to do with the theme of this novel, but just some social phenomena that I want to talk about incidentally.

That's all for now. Thank you again for your support, and I hope readers will like this book.Of course, you hate it, and you definitely have your reasons, because after all, this is not a comedy, but a complete tragedy, a tragedy of Chinese education.
