Chapter 33 5. The Beat One

The term "Beat Generation" originated in the United States in the 1950s.God, almost represents the values ​​of the entire Westerners.At that time, God was destroyed in the hearts of many young people in the United States due to the trauma of World War II.In a place where the mind is not restrained by the dwelling of God, nothing is impossible.Due to the lack of faith, almost a generation of American youths of that generation fell into overall anxiety.As a result, a wave of postmodernist movement thoughts was quickly set off among the people.Their identities are as follows: homeless, drug addict, gay, sexual opener, gangster, nude behaviorist, liar, etc., you name it.

However, these non-mainstream characters are almost genius-type young talents.Existence is reasonable.The reason why they choose such an extreme way of life is to tell the world that in a degenerate era, the only way to resist is to degenerate. Ever since, in order to distinguish them from the lost generation in the United States who grew up after World War I, later generations called them the Beat Generation. Today, when we look back at that period of history, we still feel astonished.Depravity is not terrible, what is terrible is the hopeless end of an entire generation.Fortunately, history saved them, and they also completed their mission of survival.Most of the lunatics who are called artistic geniuses also left their names in the history of American literature.Use a sentence from Ernest Hemingway, a representative writer of the Lost Generation of America, to summarize the later living conditions of American youth: The sun also rises!

At this time, Liu Ying, like the beat generation in the United States mentioned above, was willing to degenerate.But one difference is that the overall anxiety of the Beat Generation was caused by the unstoppable war.And Liu Ying's absurd living condition was artificially caused by Lv Zhi. French existentialist Camus once said that knowing that life is absurd, we have to live.In order to encourage the continuation of life, he wrote a great ideological work "The Legend of Sisyphus", and created a great hero who resisted the absurd, and his name was Sisyphus. Sisyphus was punished by God to do the most boring and helpless job in the world.That is, let Sisyphus push the boulder from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain year after year, let the boulder roll down, and finally push it up again.

This legend comes from ancient Greece. However, Camus discovered from this legend that contemporary people have the same fate as Sisyphus, that is, the industrial age makes everyone stand on the assembly line, year after year like a puppet. Repeat the same work.At the same time, Camus found that Sisyphus discovered the meaning of happiness in the process of pushing the stone up the mountain.People in the post-industrial age should also, like Sisyphus, discover the meaning of happiness in a boring life. Where there is absurdity, there is absurd resistance.The theory of Camus in France was born almost at the same time as the beat generation in the United States.It seems that at that time, pessimism and despair about the times were a common emotion for everyone.In order to save this generation, the Americans, like Camus, invented a great self-saving hero. He is the Forrest Gump in the movie.

We found a strange scene in the movie, A-Gump is crazy about wandering long-distance running.We are always on the road, which is pretty much the common mentality of that generation of Americans.They wander not only in physics and geography, but also in the vast and boundless spiritual world.More and more American youths have joined the ranks of Forrest Gump, and finally they found that as long as they trek bravely, there will always be a day when they will find the meaning of life. This is the whole point of living bravely knowing the world is absurd.Survival is really more important than anything else.

However, under the shadow of Lu Zhi, alone and anxious Liu Ying was struggling to survive alone.He, the beat one, whose only means of fighting the absurd is to make himself absurd.Ever since, after he left the hospital bed, instead of going to the court to listen to the government, he was immersed in wine, sex and lust for many years. This rebellious child seemed to tell his mother: I want to stimulate your pain with my depravity! For Liu Ying's move, Sima Guangzai felt sorry for him.Sima Guang commented: Be devoted to Xiaoren but don't know the righteousness.What this means is that Liu Ying is a child who only knows how to be benevolent and love little. If his mother hits him a little, he will drink too much and hurt his body, forgetting the righteousness of the country and society. It is really wrong!

Sima Guang said it so easily.He thought that the despair of saving a child was as successful as when he smashed the tank and drained the water when he was a child.Perhaps Lu Zhi would think so, if a child is to grow up, he must bear the baptism of wind and rain and cruel and merciless field training.However, in Liu Ying's life, he experienced the baptism of the chaos caused by the war, and the shame of being kicked off the car by his father when he fled. How could such a scumbag raise a child as cruel as her overnight? If it is said that Lv Zhi let Liu Ying visit the human pig, it was a means of education from her.Well, we can only say that this is a perverted education.Of course, bloodless ancient Chinese politics is very rare.The era of Lu Zhi started from the people, and the bloody politics once again proved that Lu Zhi was not a politician, not even a politician.At best, she is just a vengeful and powerful person, a perverted mother whose educational philosophy has absolutely failed!

Chinese contemporary poet Liang Xiaobin, as a person who climbed out of the shadow of the "Cultural Revolution", wrote a poem "China, My Key I Lost" that shocked the times.In his poems, the key is a soul tool to close the stupid era and open a new era and a new life.If an era, especially the youth of an era, loses such a key, then our nation and country, as small as an individual, will be hopeless and hopeless. For Liu Ying, the key to his soul is kindness.Now, Lv Zhi took away the key of humanity alive and closed the gate of light.At the same time, Liu Ying is like a terrible bird, losing himself and unable to restore himself. From then on, he can only live in the palm of Lu Zhi forever.

That palm is called the Devil's Palm! Once you fall into it, you will never be reborn forever! Sad!Liu Ying!Sad!Lu pheasant!
