Chapter 630 The old man and the sea
On this day, not only Beast Beast and Xiao Dao approached Su Tong for books, but even Wang Chao, who didn't like to study, also asked him for books, because his wife couldn't buy Su Tong's books.

Dalong even asked Yang Feifei to ask Su Tong for books, saying that his wife was making a fuss about asking for sage books, and the bookstore was sold out.

Su Tong was ashamed, Dalong's daughter-in-law should be one of the first people to call him a sage.

"Boy Su, come out!"

In the national treasure group, a group of old guys couldn't bear it anymore and came up to Su Tong.

When the manuscript came out, I couldn’t read it. I waited for it to be put on the shelf. When it was put on the shelf, I asked my disciples and grandchildren to line up to buy it, but they couldn’t buy it, which drove them to death.

"Well, I have kept [-] or [-] copies, and now I have sent out more than a dozen copies, and half of them are left. If you need it, I will send it by express." Su Tong had to bluff this time, and he took the blame for the publishing house.

"Express delivery? You can tell. You are in Seaside City, some of us are in Yandu, some are in Northeast China, and some are in Jiangnan... Waiting for your express delivery, the second printing can be released on the market."

"I don't know how to respect the old and love the young. They are all on the shelves, and they are not delivered to us in advance."

"I love you in vain. In order to help you fight, when will our group of old bones not help you?"

"..."

A group of old guys were very dissatisfied and condemned Su Tong one after another.

Su Tong was very embarrassed, and it was true, he is now express delivery, and the speed is not as good as that of the publishing house.

Publishing houses can entrust printing houses across the country to print them out, and then distribute them quickly, not necessarily in Yandu and the others.

Otherwise, it would not be worthwhile to wait until it is printed and shipped to all parts of the country.

"Eileen said
The flowers of water, land and vegetation are very lovely.Tao Yuanming of Jin only loved chrysanthemum.Since Li Tang, the world is very love peony.Yu Du Ai lotus comes out of the mud without being stained, and it is clean and rippling without being demonic. It is straight in the middle and straight outside.

I call it the chrysanthemum, the hermit of flowers; the peony, the rich and noble of flowers; the lotus, the gentleman of flowers.Alas!The love of chrysanthemums is rarely heard of after Tao.The love of the lotus, who is the same as the giver?The love of peony is suitable for everyone! "

Su Tong didn't say any more, and directly threw out an ancient prose from his previous life. In the eyes of the old guys, no matter how much he said, there was no good article with sincerity.

"..."

As soon as this article came out, the old guys really didn't scold him or make a sound.

……

People in the industry were all speechless when they learned that Su Tong's novel was sold out in one morning.

Because they heard that there are [-] copies of the first print, which can be digested in one morning, and the best-selling writer in Daqin is jealous.

No one knows the content of the novel yet, so many people have sold it, and the popularity is deadly.

The people who were still talking coldly began to fall silent, and the data proved everything.

so close!

Those writers who had a feud with Su Tong almost couldn't help but come out to ridicule them a few days ago, but fortunately they held back, otherwise many netizens would come to slap them in the face now.

The next day, the second printed novel was put on the market again, and by this time, the novella had been completely published, and many people had read it.

It is "The Old Man and the Sea".

"I'm so touched, I feel sorry for this old man."

"I think this old man is so pitiful, but also very great."

"The old man paid a heavy price for every bit of victory, and finally suffered an irretrievable defeat. However, I think he is a winner. Because he did not succumb to fate, no matter how difficult the environment was, he relied on He fought bravely with his courage, perseverance and wisdom. Although the big fish was not saved, he defended the dignity of the human soul."

"The image of a tough guy is portrayed in the work. He is a low-level character, living in poverty and suffering repeated setbacks, but he always maintains vigorous vitality and strong willpower, and always maintains human dignity and courage. In him, there is a certain A strong character that is indomitable, firm and tenacious, fearless in the face of adversity and death, and not discouraged in adversity."

"The themes of the novel are: the essence of man, man's effort and struggle, man's pursuit and suffering, man's belief and struggle, man's stubbornness and value, man's intelligence and destiny, man's courage and boldness, man's dignity And the soul, even if you fail, you must be frank and frank, without losing the elegant demeanor of people under heavy pressure. No matter in good times or bad times, in nature or in society, people should face up to reality, accept everything and go beyond it, and continue their own life Journey. Even in the face of death, we must deal with it indifferently, rather than bending, this is the essence of life that the old man of Giza insists on, and it is also the philosophical flash of "The Old Man and the Sea."

"..."

Many people were deeply moved. An old man can be so strong and never give up. How can they, who are still in their prime, be discouraged and be willing to be ordinary?
Su Tong adapted the background of the story, and naturally changed the names of the characters.

The old man's full name is Lu Jisa, and the background of the story is set in Seaside City, in the 70s and [-]s.

So he visited many fishing villages and chatted with many old fishermen.

Some conversations between characters, such as those involving the football teams of that era, Su Tong naturally handled it well, and it became a topic that was often talked about after dinner in Daqin's era.

"I feel so sad. The old man is lonely. He is with the sea, lives for the sea, and should die for the sea in the end."

"He always dreams about lions. I think he should be missing the strength of his youth, but even though he misses it, he is still unwilling to grow old. He can still fight and overcome all difficulties."

"Life is like a vast ocean, wide and dangerous. It can push you to a higher level, and it can also make you lose all your happiness in an instant. In order to keep this trace of happiness, we can only work hard to the top of the waves , to melt the sometimes angry ocean with our blood."

"I never thought that there was such a powerful person living in Ge Ge's heart."

"My brother said that there is a devil living in everyone's heart. I really like the devil in my brother's heart. When my brother gets old, he will be that stubborn old man. I really like my brother."

"The implication and themes are so touching. Failure is not terrible. Although the old man came back with nothing in the end, and the big fish only had a skeleton left, I am full of respect for him."

"This is the spiritual symbol of our older generation. We are not a fighting nation, but we are a race that never surrenders, never bows to difficulties and evil forces."

"Ruggisa, the hero of life, the real tough guy."

"The old man never wants to admit his failure. He believes that through his continuous efforts, he can finally prove his worth. This is the meaning of his life."

"..."

Many readers are discussing "The Old Man and the Sea". It has neither gorgeous literary talent nor humorous sentences, but only extremely concise language.

It seems that it is not carefully crafted, nor is it subtle and profound, but in fact this is what many writers are pursuing to return to the basics, the truth that cannot be crafted carefully.
