Chapter 2 2. From "Gleaners" to "The Man with the Hoe"

■You are a person who talks and laughs, but because you often "reject people thousands of miles away" and "lose the wind", what a pity!I hope this book can "keep the wind" for you and pick up many of your "relics".It may be too stupid to say "relict pearls", at least this book reminds me of Miller's (Jean Frangois Mellet) painting "Gleaners". □It's strange, why don't you think of Miller's "Man with a Hoe"? ■ "The man with the hoe"?That painting could be accused of being "dangerously socialist" (...was condemned as dangerously socialistic).

□It seems that from the beginning, I didn't plan to ask about my "dangerous socialism" side.Yes or no? "Those who are not of the same species, hoe them away." People with hoes are dangerous. ■Can you dodge it?If the word "dangerous" is missing from your mind, there are not many others. □Am I so thin?Don't forget Miller's "Sower." ■ "The Sower" is from 1851, and "The Gleaners" is from 1857. "Gleaning ears" means picking up something after "sowing", which has a different feeling.This "Li Ao's Secret Conversation Record" has this feeling, that would be great.

□Add "Secret Talk" especially. ■Add "Secret Talk" especially. When you are at ease, you always tell some "secrets", right? □My definition of "secret" is very broad. I once said: "Any book you haven't read is a new book." Anything you haven't heard is a "secret".The key is whether you can learn to listen with your "secret" ear.If you learn this skill, you can hear the "secret" even if you listen to the wind. ■It's too mysterious, you are a "pragmatic idealist", don't be so mysterious, right?

□Okay, don't be so mysterious.Let me try to speak the language of the Gleaners. ■"Li Ao's Secret Conversations" should be the title of the book, and every secret conversation should have a sub-title, right? □ What I said is that the subtitle of this book should be "The Great River and the Sea Lied to You". ■Is it true that the title of the book remains the same every time, but it is called "Li Ao's Secret Conversations", and only the title of the sub-book is changed? □Yes. ■How many copies of "Li Ao's Secret Conversations" will be published?

□I don't know.First, it depends on how long I live; second, it depends on how far I am interested in picking up things. ■Why does the first talk record seem to focus on Long Yingtai? □Because she "stretches" in front of my eyes. ■You use the word "heng", what an old word, it means from one end to the other, lying in front of your eyes.What is it?Is it a blocker? □It is not a blocker, the blocker is the Kuomintang; nor is it a street mouse, the street mouse is the Democratic Progressive Party.Longyingtai is just a piece of wood, a piece of wood in the "remnant mountains and water".

■You mean she also blocked the way and crossed the street?
