Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

Wow, this is amazing! Is it even drafted?!

How can he possibly argue with that?
Gan!
Liu Changbing's eyes are not very attractive.

Because he is a writer who excels at writing period dramas, his representative works are almost all similar.

Therefore, his research on this type of writing is naturally very deep, and he is naturally able to accurately distinguish what is good and what is bad.

However, after reading it, he realized that it was an excellent book.

There is absolutely no controversy about it.

So this made him want to throw a punch.

But he just couldn't find where to throw that punch; he couldn't get the punch out.

Moreover, he always felt that Xia Yuan wrote this with a hidden meaning.

Otherwise, if you're a director, and you're a writer who originally wrote fantasy literature, why would you suddenly start writing works of this genre?
And you started writing this kind of work after all those scandals?
For example, the unpleasantness between the two.

His previous rejection of Xia Yuan was basically undisguised and unreserved; it was practically a matter of openly acknowledging it—or rather, it was already openly acknowledging it.

After all, who knew back then that Xia Yuan had already been added to that group in the association?
Then, as soon as he was tagged, it came out, which clearly meant that Xia Yuan had seen everything he had said before.

And then, coincidentally, his next book was of a similar type.

If you say there's no ulterior motive or hidden meaning in this, even a dog wouldn't believe you.

Liu Changbing's eyes were gloomy, but he couldn't say anything.

I just hope Xia Yuan's book doesn't become too popular.

"After all, this kind of subject matter has never sold very well, it's always been bad," he murmured.

This gave him some comfort.

He sneered, "Ha, do you really think that after making some money and gaining some attention by writing some internet garbage, you can break into the realm of art?"

This time, we'll show Xia Yuan what the soil is for domestic literature and art!

There simply aren't many opportunities left for serious literature like this!

It's not that they can't make money because they lack skill!

Meanwhile, online, Xia Yuan's new book has already exploded in popularity.

It has already become a trending topic.

There are also related reviews everywhere.

"Damn it, who told me that reading this book can make you happy? Come on, stick your head out here, I'll give you a buff."

"I think I was initially resistant to the idea of ​​living in this book when I first read it. The reason is simple: I felt that Xia Yuan's engraving created a sense of powerlessness that permeated the entire book."

All the disasters that Fugui suffered were things that he could not resist and had no target for hatred. Or rather, the things that could be hated were all very large and abstract. You can attribute his suffering to the limitations of the times and the jokes of fate, but these themselves have a certain illusory quality.

Because you can't retaliate against an era, or even touch it in the slightest; you can only endure it.

Endurance is the overarching theme of the entire book. Therefore, I disliked its overwhelming sense of oppression.

In ancient times, childbirth was a life-threatening ordeal for women, because medical conditions were extremely poor, and the skills and experience of midwives were far inferior to those of today.

However, the birth rate of ordinary women can never match that of women from royal families.

Why? Because the royal family had excellent material conditions and specialized midwives. They were only responsible for doing this one thing for the royal family and didn't have to worry about farming or other production matters, so they were more professional.

You could say that not everyone has those conditions, and that's true, but at the same time you can see that there are indeed ways to increase the birth rate and reduce the mortality rate.

The experience gained from material resources, medical care, and the specialization of labor.

A crucial factor in the continued existence of the human race is the transmission of experience, whether through oral tradition or written records.

Over the past few thousand years, countless people have died due to ignorance, yet we have also survived in this world, accumulating a vast amount of experience. Passing on this experience from generation to generation is itself our struggle against fate, life, and all the unpredictable disasters.

We have never been accustomed to passively accepting things as they are. We are always fearful yet exploratory, constantly learning from experience to deal with those monstrous things like lightning, fire, water, earthquakes, epidemics, wars, famines, and so on.

We have always fought and moved forward, rather than passively accepting our fate.
But after reading it again and again, this book has given me many different experiences.

Thinking deeply about many things can help you see the true nature of an era.

Many things in this book seem foolish and ridiculous to us. Why? Because we risk our lives to gain experience and improve our lives—the genetic breakthroughs in rice, the faster and more efficient disaster relief, the more完善的管理制度 (more complete management system)—all demonstrate our struggle against fate and life. We never live passively; we are always fighting and moving forward. Human history is a history of struggle against fate and against life.

"It gave me the creeps."

"Being alive must be wonderful, but I dare not look."

"Comedy, look, that's Xia Yuan's specialty, he's a comedian."

"What exactly does the book 'To Live' describe? Is it really about living? I believe the greatest pain, even the pain that surpasses death, is the loss of one's closest and dearest loved ones one by one, and the extinguishing of newly ignited hope by reality. Some say Fugui lives because he is alive, while others say he dies, forever dying on the night he choked to death with bitter herbs. In my opinion, perhaps death was also a kind of relief for Fugui, and to rest peacefully beside his loved ones was his best resting place."

"Yes, we can be ordinary, we can be average, we can suffer our whole lives, but we cannot live a mediocre life. We should live a happier life and a more exciting life. Finally, I wish everyone and their families peace, happiness, and all the best."

"Living is not an easy thing to do, and this novel has a powerful lasting impact."

"So when will Xia Yuan turn this into a movie? I want to see it, thank you."

"Every single event is a memory for Fugui, yet he's all alone, still alive. Does anyone tell him to live? No, but he still clings to pity and stubbornly loves this world. It's not just Fugui who empathizes, but also Kugen and Jiazhen… Pure as they are, how helpless and yet how brave they are in the face of darkness. Xia Yuan, you scoundrel!!! Are you really going to laugh at us and make us cry buckets after you finish writing this?"

"I strongly suggest making it into a movie!" (End of Chapter)
