Chapter 3 Red Buddha Running at Night---About Interesting 【Preface】

foreword What will be talked about in this book is fun, and in fact every book should be fun.For some books, fun is its raison d'être; for others, fun is the standard it should live up to.I can remember every interesting book I've ever read, and I can't remember the title of any boring one.But not only me, everyone is about to forget what fun is. I thought fun was like a historical stage that was being surpassed.As I understand it, Herbert Marcuse expressed the same opinion in his excellent book "One-Dimensional Man".Of course, the story of the Chinese is different from theirs. Here, wisdom is surpassed and becomes "ambiguous"; sex is surpassed and becomes "thinking innocent"; Become solemn and stagnant.Our souls will be purified and elevated, instead of drowning in material desires as Marcuse said.I'm waiting for the day when I can open a book and no longer expect it to be interesting, but only to be educated.At the same time, I also remembered what the protagonist in "Faust" said when he felt his life was gone: You are so beautiful, please wait!I mourn what is being lost.

There is always something in a novel that is pure fiction.Readers who are familiar with allusions in mathematics must know the interesting story about Fermat's theorem, and the author does not need to repeat this aspect.Recently, a Harvard professor proved Fermat's Last Theorem.It should be noted that Wang Er's proof of Fermat's theorem in the book was before this matter. author About this book: Wang Er was 41 years old in 1993 and was doing research work in a university in Beijing.His research direction is the history of ancient Chinese mathematics. He is another brother of the author with the same name.When he was young, he joined the team and later studied mathematics in college.He has never been married and now lives in an apartment with a woman named Sun.While thinking hard to prove Fermat's theorem, he wrote this book about Li Jing and Hong Fu.The book is as implausible as he is, but contains the utmost truth.Readers familiar with history will find that the narrative style of this book is influenced by the outstanding book "Material Civilization, Economy and Capitalism from the 15th to the 18th Century" by the French historian Fernand Braudel, and it is more like a history book than a book. Not quite like a novel.This is exactly what the author intended.If there are grotesque places in this book, it is not intentional by the author, but the original appearance of history.
