Chapter 105 i am passionate

First of all, I would like to thank Fang Xi.She is the planning editor of the first edition of Simplified Chinese, and she is also my teacher.According to her plan, after that, it should be "Happy Water Margin". Every time I read it, I think of today's commercial society and private economy.The violence and scheming in it also remind me of the wolf culture that is popular today.I feel bad, but can't find a solution.I accepted the creative task given to me by Fang Xi, and reluctantly wrote 30,000 to 40,000 words, and my mood fell into extreme depression. I had no choice but to press the delete button to wipe out all my hard work.

Secondly, I would like to thank Tang Jie.She was the editor of Working Women magazine, and she came to ask me for a story.Then I thought of my task again, and agreed to write and serialize it as I wrote it, until the whole book was finished, and then I could report to Fang Xi.Unexpectedly, I still couldn't adjust my mood very well. I only wrote four issues, and I couldn't write any more.Thankfully, the manuscripts of these four issues survived like kindling until my creative passion was rekindled seven years later. In this process, the "Three Kingdoms Fever" that was triggered also engulfed me.For a time, "talking about the Three Kingdoms, talking about management" became a trend, and many impassioned masters emerged, and they made many sensational remarks, which is the so-called "great masters fart, extraordinary".But what these masters advocate is the wolf culture that frightens me, a little goat.They highly praised Cao Cao's violence and strategy, and packaged him as a talented and strategic leader.They criticized it, saying that it fabricated history, and used this as an excuse to reverse Cao Cao's case.On a certain occasion, I was abused by netizens overwhelmingly because I questioned the academic ethics of a certain professor.In this era when I would rather be a real villain, I have become what Wanfu refers to as a hypocrite.

I don't want to be a hypocrite, and I don't want to be a real villain, but I hope to be a real gentleman who knows his mistakes and corrects them.So I examine myself three times, what have I done?What should I stick to?What should I correct right now?Since then, I have fallen into deeper and deeper contemplation. In fact, what we are arguing about is not history, nor literature, but our respective values.A certain professor accused that the storyline of "Taoyuan Jieyi" is fictional.But does he know why he made up such a peach orchard instead of an apricot, bamboo or pear orchard?The red rabbit horse is also fictional, and who can understand the literary significance of the red rabbit horse?Zhuge Liang is called "Wolong", but who can understand the origin of the allusion of "Wolong" nowadays? "Three Kingdoms" is a database of arguments, and it is also a database of arguments. Scholars are just using these arguments to demonstrate their own values, playing a self-justifying academic game.

This is an impetuous era, but also an unspeakable era.Intricate conflicts of interest and ubiquitous injustice make the strong need violence and scheming to control the situation, and the weak need violence and scheming to change their destiny.At the same time, innocence, kindness, and morals that have been practiced by the Chinese for thousands of years have met with suspicion and contempt.The critical thinking and unscrupulous values ​​prevailing in Chinese society have caused those intellectuals who were once regarded as the conscience of the nation to lose their due academic integrity.They don't want to be alone, but are looking for various rationalized solutions to the evil of human nature.We may no longer have real scholars, but only packaged masters.

What we need is not critical thinking, but understanding thinking.What Cao Cao needs is not to reverse the case, but to understand.Only conscience can penetrate the fog of history and see the truth clearly.It is strange that so many people think that history has nothing to do with conscience.I don't understand, if there is no conscience, what do those masters use to study history?In our time, the value of diversity has finally evolved into diversity of opinion.Amidst the divergent opinions, history has long lost its value as a lesson, and has become a topic for modern people to talk about their own wisdom.

"Birds fly away in a thousand mountains, and people disappear in a thousand paths. A lone boat and hat man, fishing in the cold river and snow alone." When all the flying thoughts covered my world like a heavy snow, I was placed beyond the thousand mountains and thousands of miles away. Beyond the path, I suddenly found the tranquility of a lonely boat and hat.Oh no, I'm not even a solitary boatman.I am the poet who contemplates thousands of mountains, thousands of paths, and lonely boats and hats.I stopped arguing with the world and watched it quietly. Perhaps what the world needs is not debate, but observation, understanding and humor.I thought of the creative task that had been put on hold for a long time, just like I did when I created it, and the ridicule resurfaced on the corner of my mouth.I renamed the old "Happy Water Margin" to "Passionate Water Margin", and then wrote it into a novel.As a creation named management literature, the novel is obviously more literary than that.

Balzac said: "The novel is considered the secret history of a nation." The so-called "Water Margin of Passion" can also be viewed in the same way.This is a meaningful title, and it reflects our age, which is less joyful but full of passion.Even in the whole process of creation, my heart is full of complex and indescribable passion. Finally, I would like to thank Pan Yue, Li Yinghong, Wang Qiang and Shu Ting, who are the first readers of "Water Margin of Passion".As the editor-in-chief of CITIC Publishing House, Pan Yue has been paying attention to me almost every day for many years. After reading the manuscript, she said to me: "You have found yourself!" Li Yinghong impressed me the most because of his kindness. He has always been with me, witnessed my passion and sorrow, and gave me the power of friendship, criticism and support anytime and anywhere.Wang Qiang and Shu Ting did a lot of marketing planning for "Passionate Water Margin", and finally renamed it.

From "Happy Water Margin" to "Passionate Water Margin", and then again, although it is a name change, it took a lot of trouble.Speaking of it, what was triggered back then was not just the "Three Kingdoms Fever", but also the "Boiled Fever", and then there were "Spicy Three Kingdoms", "Spicy Water Margin", "Financial Water Margin", "Workplace Water Margin" and so on. follow suit book. As the title of the book, "Water Margin of Passion" is placed in the vast book market, and it may be difficult to attract the attention of readers.It's ridiculous that I'm famous because of it, but now I'm stuck with it.Is this fruit rewarded?This retribution is also!

Karma is a good clue in this complex age.Following this thread, I am organizing myself and understanding myself.My passion was gradually receding, and at the same time, a mysterious light began to shine on my being, filling my heart like the moon with gratitude.I would like to thank all the friends who have understood me and those who have not understood me over the years, and thank this colorful world and the kind thoughts that exist in the mottled colors.I listened to the voice of God in those kind thoughts and surrendered to it.
