Chapter 428 (2/2)
Song Yang quickly said: ”that's no good. We're just doing two small favors. It's nothing. We'd better go home for dinner. I haven't had a meal made by my father for a long time.”
Old song also said: ”it's expensive and not affordable outside, so it's better to eat at home. Tianxing, you also go to my house for dinner. Today I cook myself. ”
With that, Lao song takes Song Yang and Fang Tianxing to his home.
At the old song's house, several people helped him cook. His cooking skills were beyond Fang Tianxing's imagination, and everyone was very happy.
Last night, Fang Tianxing drank some wine and overslept a little. He rushed to his recommendation booth. He decided the opening time of the recommendation booth, but he couldn't smash his signboard.
Fang Tianxing rushed to his recommendation place and found that there were many people waiting in a long line. He quickly opened his recommendation place and let everyone come in to read his online novels.
Waiting for people to fish in and read Fang Tianxing's works with relish, from time to time also put forward a lot of questions about the plot, Fang Tianxing took the trouble to answer one by one.
Many people asked questions, especially a little girl asked the most, ”author, why does the protagonist call this name, how do you think of it, and why is the female so cold?” Fang tianxingrao, the author of this novel, can hardly answer so many questions.
But the little girl's problems are more and more, and Fang Tianxing is a little overburdened. If she were someone else, she would have collapsed.
Fang Tianxing said helplessly: ”in fact, you have to think about the answers to many questions. Readers will form their own perception in the process of reading works. Most of the time, the answers are in your own heart, and no one else can answer them.”
The little girl continued, ”aren't you the author of this book? Why don't you understand so many things?”
”In fact, reading is a dialogue with yourself, and also a way to make more progress.” Fang Tianxing said to the little girl.
”But if you don't understand it thoroughly, you always feel that you haven't read it thoroughly.” The little girl said to Tianxing. She has a strong thirst for knowledge.
”In fact, we read a lot of books, but most of them were forgotten by me later. What's the meaning of reading?” Fang Tianxing asked the little girl.
”When I was a child, I ate a lot of food, and now I can't remember what I ate. But to be sure, some of them have grown into my bones and flesh. It's in my body. It's a part of me Fang Tianxing said to the little girl.
The little girl seemed to have realized something and ran away to think.
Fang Tianxing is also reading a book. What he is holding in his hand is the moon and sixpence, which is about the relationship between people's ideals and reality.
It tells a person who pursues his ideal. In order to realize his ideal, he regards all kinds of external things as nothing. He only has his own ideal in his heart. No matter what other people think, he only pays attention to his own inner ideal.
Fang Tianxing knows what his ideal is and is willing to pay for it. This is the most meaningful thing in his life.
Fang Tianxing looks up at the sky. He wants to know how wonderful the sky is. The starry sky that he could only look up at seems to be close to him. He must explore it.
In the moon and sixpence, Strickland, an ordinary London stockbroker, suddenly falls into the magic of art. He abandons his wife and son, abandons the rich and happy life of others, and goes to Tahiti Island in the South Pacific Ocean to write a story of his brilliant life with his brush score and infuses all the value of life into the gorgeous canvas.
Maugham explores the contradiction and interaction between life and art. The theme of escapism revealed in the novel is incompatible with the pursuit of many people in the west, and it has become a popular novel in the 20th century.
