Kafka's description of the scene in The Trial feels absurd, with a small bank manager suddenly receiving a summons from the court, which is incredibly confusing. This reminds me of Chen Qingyang in "** Times", she has more absurd things than a bank manager.
Chen Qingyang is a young and beautiful married female doctor, but her husband is imprisoned for a crime, making her a widow.
Chen Qingyang is a special doctor, she has to receive all kinds of patients every day, because of her outstanding appearance and fair skin, so that the men in ten miles and eight villages have a special interest in her.
In this society with thousands of years of chaste tradition, she has naturally been subjected to a lot of pressure and accusations. People in the countryside have a deep obsession with chastity, and they believe that Chen Qingyang should remain innocent and chaste because of his profession.
However, Chen Qingyang was not overwhelmed by these pressures, and she stuck to her career and life choices. However, this persistence is not understood and respected by others.
Some married women began to maliciously slander and attack Chen Qingyang, and even gave her a resounding nickname: Broken Shoes. The word is used to belittle women who do not follow women's morals, and once covered by it, it attracts countless gossip and accusations.
Despite this, Chen Qingyang was not defeated by these malicious attacks. She stood by her beliefs and proved herself to be a person worthy of respect with her actions.
In this era of serious moral shackles, Chen Qingyang used his tenacity and courage to win a world for himself.
Chen Qingyang, a woman who thinks of herself as high, did not collapse in the face of the rumors that she was accused of broken shoes, but was full of unwillingness. Convinced that she wasn't a broken shoe, she was determined to find a way to prove her innocence.
So, she found Wang Er, a controversial ruffian. Wang Er's logic may seem absurd at first glance, but if you dig deeper, you will find that it is full of wisdom of life.
When Chen Qingyang's threshold was about to be broken by those men who were not sick, Wang Er found her because she was really sick. His purpose was simple: to heal. But it was this kind of behavior that was contrary to common sense that made Chen Qingyang feel uneasy, and she felt that her charm was being questioned.
However, Chen Qingyang was not defeated by this suspicion, and she decided to find Wang Er to prove her innocence. This decision shows the tenacity and courage of a woman who is not afraid of gossip and sticks to her beliefs.
Wang Er's logic may be difficult to understand, but Chen Qingyang's determination and courage are deeply moving.
At the beginning of "** Times", Wang Er was in the 14th team under the mountain, and Chen Qingyang was in the 15th team on the mountain. One day, Chen Qingyang came down from the mountain and discussed with Wang Er whether she was a "broken shoe".
The story unfolds from Wang Er's perspective, and in his first contact with Chen Qingyang, Chen Qingyang shows the active side. The reason why she found Wang Er was very simple, that is, she hoped that this unusual ruffian could prove that she was not a "broken shoe", because she sincerely came to Wang Er to see a doctor, not to be seen.
However, when Chen Qingyang explained her intentions to Wang Er, Wang Er talked about his point of view, he thought that the word "broken shoes" is just a title, if others say that you are "broken shoes", you are "broken shoes", this has no reason to say, if others say that you "stole Han", you are "stolen Han", which is also unreasonable.
Chen Qingyang was very helpless after hearing this, because the logic of breaking shoes proposed by Wang Er was very absurd. She thinks that Wang Er's logic is not actually to help her prove her innocence, but to make her accept the title of "broken shoes".
Although Chen Qingyang understood that Wang Er's theory was problematic, he felt very difficult to refute it. Then, Wang Er further elaborated on his theory of broken shoes, that is, if you don't want to suffer, you should steal men, so that you can also think that you are broken shoes.
Hearing Wang Er's theory, Chen Qingyang fell into confusion, and she couldn't refute him effectively. Wang Er also used an example to prove that it is difficult to prove his innocence, that is, to prove that he did not blind the innocence of the captain's's left eye.
He claims to have three ways to prove his innocence: first, the captain has no female dogs; Secondly, this was born without a left eye; In the end, he had no hands and could not shoot.
However, none of these three paths can be established, because the captain's family does have a female dog who is not born blind in his left eye, and Wang Er also has hands and has the ability to shoot, so he cannot prove his innocence.
This logic is very similar to the logic of whether Chen Qingyang is a broken shoe, because Chen Qingyang is a real person and has the physical characteristics of broken shoes, even if she is not a broken shoe, others can call her a broken shoe.
This set of absurd theories put Chen Qingyang in a predicament. She felt that she couldn't prove that she was not a broken shoe, so she chose to accept this identity and experienced the life of "broken shoes" with Wang Er in the name of "great friendship".
However, when Wang Er was injured and Chen Qingyang came down from the mountain with her hair disheveled and her eyes red and swollen, revealing her identity undisguisedly, people no longer called her "broken shoes".
This seemingly absurd theory actually has a wide influence in real life. Only by truly understanding and comprehending this theory can we deeply understand the true meaning of life.
In life, we are often confronted with some incomprehensible and absurd things. Initially, like Chen Qingyang, we tried to prove our innocence, or to find others to prove us.
However, after repeated verification, we find that we seem to be sinking deeper and deeper into the absurdity, and finally we can only fall into it, unable to extricate ourselves. However, when we are really in the midst of absurdity, we find that everything has become so normal.
This is the helplessness of life, we always try to resist, but we will be relentlessly woken up by reality. Wang Xiaobo's "** Era" is undoubtedly a thought-provoking book, but the large number of ** descriptions mixed in it made it difficult to publish.
Editor Zhao Jieping succumbed to this strange book and decided to launch it. When the editor-in-chief was away, she secretly printed "** Times". Although she was severely reprimanded for this move, exhausted, and even fell ill, time has proved the value of "**Times", which can now be found openly in major bookstores and **.
If you want to delve into Wang Xiaobo's interesting soul, you must not miss this insight into human nature "** Times". The book is currently on sale, and the hardcover uncut version is delivered to your home free of charge, and the discount is very large.
I sincerely recommend it to everyone who loves to read.
