In Wang Xiaogun's novel "Opponents", foreign spies with different personalities and professions are portrayed quite successfully. It also subverts many people's impressions of spies.
At least in my perception, spies are not short of money. Regardless of whether there is a 007 skill, the funds are certainly like a river, gushing endlessly. Rich and willful is the standard for spies.
However, the spy novel "Opponent" has taken a side at the beginning, allowing readers to see a different corner of the mysterious iceberg about spies.
At the beginning of the novel, the team that controls the funds is covered by the small boss of the chess and card room, and the spy code-named Chicken disappears. Along with the disappearance, there is also the funding of the whole group.
The disappearance of the chicken opened the curtain on the novel "Opponent". The two opposing sides are the NSA, which maintains national security, and the other is a spy who hides in different industries and waits for the opportunity to steal all kinds of intelligence.
One of them is a cat representing justice, and the other is a mouse representing darkness. The identity attributes of cats and mice are clearly explained by the author at the beginning.
But in the novel "Opponent", the rats hiding in the dark corners often make people can't help but sigh. Especially the big villain Ding Meixi.
When Ding Meixi first set foot on the mainland land, it was more than a decade ago. At that time her code name was Hualien. As beautiful as the code name, and her youthful beauty.
Originally, Hualien thought that Li Tang, who was code-named Taoyuan, and Lin Yu, the boyfriend of Hsinchu, could return to the other side of the strait after completing a kidnapping mission.
But unexpectedly, the task failed. Hsinchu ran away, and Hualien and Taoyuan were ordered by their superiors to stay in the mainland of Xiazhou. Not only was he ordered to lurk in the relationship between husband and wife, but he also changed his code name - Phoenix.
From the day she changed her code name, Hualien, who was renamed Ding Meixi, looked forward to the day when the phoenix would nirvana, be reborn from the fire, and return to her hometown.
But more than ten years have passed, the phoenix did not wait to be reborn, but encountered a mid-life crisis in reality, and life was a chicken feather.
On the surface, Ding Meixi, who is a people's teacher, is dignified, gentle and dedicated, and in the secret profession, the main role it undertakes is to seduce.
Perhaps it is this life of being a person in the open and a ghost in the dark, which makes Ding Meixi's personality become distorted, and there are also problems in the body - hypothyroidism.
The problems that all ordinary families will encounter, in the spy Li Tang and Ding Meixi, code-named Phoenix, are the same: the economy is stretched, the children are rebellious, and the results are urgent.
The most valuable and most attractive to the audience is this kind of smoke- and choking and heart-warming human fireworks.
In particular, Ding Meixi, although she is a spy who uses the teaching profession as a cover, will change her role as soon as she changes. But you can't bear to say that she is moral.
Ding Meixi is usually gentle and gentle, and teaches seriously. What is often said to students is to break open and crush so-and-so knowledge points and swallow them into their stomachs. Like a familiar teacher in our minds.
As soon as he received the task, Teacher Ding would immediately transform into a dignified professional outfit, draw a flaming red lip, and put on a black silk deep V.
After the dress-up, Ding Meixi was radiant and invincible. Countless prey were captured under the skirt, and he was invincible for many years.
But often walk by the river, where are the shoes that are not wet? Ding Meixi also has a hundred dense and sparse, wet hands dipped in flour, when she can't get out.
Ding Mei seduced the prey to fire and got the information she wanted. Originally, Ding Meixi had already done a good job of the aftermath and could retreat with her whole body.
However, the ex-boyfriend Hsinchu, who has changed his name to Lin Yu's boss, asked Ding Meixi to find a fire rumor to ask for urban planning approval.
Ding Meixi had to put on the battle again. Huo Chuanlu thought that Ding Meixi was in love with him, divorced him, and took Ding Meixi back to his hometown.
Fire Chuanlu's fierce operation made the affairs of the two people exposed, and the city was full of wind and rain, and everyone knew it.
In order to continue to complete the task, Ding Meixi can only divorce her husband Li Tang and marry Huo Chuanlu. When she was about to leave the home that Li Tang had been running for more than ten years, Ding Meixi had mixed feelings in her heart.
Ding Meixi was packing up her things, and Li Tang was sitting quietly on the side. Watch Ding Mei xi busy, listen to Ding Mei Xi nagging.
Ding Meixi fiddled with an empty plastic bottle and fell into serious thinking--what is this bottle for? Pretty new. It's a pity to throw it away, and I didn't think about it well.
After stopping for a few seconds, Ding Meixi was still reluctant to throw it. Subconsciously shaking the empty bottle and putting it into the plastic bag he wanted to take away;
Subsequently, Ding Meixi grabbed several masks, looked at the date carefully, and said to Li Tang with regret: All of them have expired.
Then Ding Meixi very naturally put the expired mask into a plastic bag and told Li Tang: I take it away and take it to cover my feet.
For a few very old, easy to hang clothes out of the pleats of the clothes hook, Ding Meixi also made arrangements, I take away, I know how to use, hanging clothes will not be pleated.
Looking at this scene, I don't know how the reader friends who read the novel feel, and the author's feelings are four words - sighing. It's still very heartfelt.
Even if they were assigned by their superiors and used as a cover as a spouse, Ding Meixi and Li Tang, who were lurking in Xiazhou, together after more than ten years of ups and downs, also formed feelings that were difficult to give up.
If Li Tang and Ding Meixi were not spies, their lives might still be such a tight and trivial, but they would certainly be very at ease.
It is said that men are afraid of entering the wrong line, but in fact, women are also afraid, even more. Looking at Ding Meixi's predecessors, this feeling of the author is particularly profound.
If Ding Meixi had not joined the spy organization, she would have been one of the thousands of ordinary women who were exhausted by life and still trying to live.
In order to improve the family's economic conditions, Ding Meixi still opened a small classroom at home knowing the violation. When the student was accidentally injured, he apologized to the parents in a low voice:
The missing courses find time to make up for it, and the missing time is doubled. At that moment, Ding Meixi was not a cunning spy, she was just a small businessman who carefully defended her customers.
In the opponent's novel, the description of these details of life is the most attractive and most resonant in the original work, in addition to spy warfare.
Between the spies and the people's teachers, the identity span is too big. Even if Ding Meixi is strictly trained and careful, it is inevitable that mistakes will be made in the busy.
Student Chen Xing was accidentally injured, and when Ding Meixi treated his wounds, the bandaging techniques were too professional, and when sending the child to the hospital, he was in a hurry, still remembering the details of each child.
This is a natural outpouring of Ding Meixi's strict training, and it is also her secret. This made the parents of the experienced students, Duan Yingjiu, an NSA investigator, suspicious of her.
Ding Meixi, who is a superficial teacher, secretly charming, using various means to seduce others and steal confidential information, is not so hateful.
The reason is that after putting aside Ding Meixi's identity as a spy, she is very real, very weak, very wandering, and very distressing:
The husband does not earn much money and does not live a rich life; the daughter Li Xiaoman is in a period of rebellion, like tofu that has fallen into the ashes, and cannot be blown. Ding Meixi's psychology is under tremendous pressure.
But these pressures were not enough to make Ding Meixi suffer from hypothyroidism. Because of the chicken feathers she experienced, it is also common experienced by other women of the same age.
Not to mention Ding Meixi's side, there is also her husband Li Tang. Ding Meixi and Li Tang, a couple who are matched by their superiors Lalang, are actually very suitable.
Li Tang is a warm man, and at home he is both a universal glue and a barrier. Connecting Ding Meixi and her daughter Li Xiaoman, it also prevents the two from overheating behavior.
Li Tang, who also has the identity of a spy, is a qualified husband. He understood Ding Meixi's stress and pain. The negative energy accumulated by Ding Meixi can always be relieved and released in a timely manner.
Without Li Tang, Ding Meixi would have collapsed long ago. Duan Yingjiu, a torch-eyed national security officer, put aside the phenomenon and looked at the essence, he had already discovered Ding Meixi's panicked heart.
Li Tang suddenly lost contact, and Ding Meixi was very panicked. She feared that Li Tang had been captured by the NSA. In order to test, she called Duan Yingjiu in the name of Chen Xing's falling things.
Duan Yingjiu saw Ding Meixi's courier at the school gate and sent it to Ding Meixi. At this time, Ding Meixi pretended to be calm, but in fact, she was very flustered inside.
The courier sent by Duan Yingjiu, Ding Meixi immediately opened it in front of Duan Yingjiu. This kind of behavior of wanting to cover up and rushing to prove his innocence, Duan Yingjiu saw through it at a glance.
Duan Yingjiu said to Ding Meixi, I am willing to help you, I sincerely hope that you are good. At this moment, Duan Yingjiu was sincere.
Because she is also a woman, a mother, she can understand the pressure that Ding Meixi bears; and as a keen national security officer, she also feels that Ding Meixi is deep in the quagmire, but she is powerless to struggle.
What exactly are you afraid of? Duan Yingjiu's words made Ding Meishu instantly alert. She remembered her ulterior motive identity secret.
Spy, this is the past that Ding Meixi can't talk about, and can't get rid of. It was the obstacle to her inability to become a truly thrifty housekeeper and a good wife.
Flaming red lips, full of charm, wanting to refuse to return the favor, the eyes are ethereal, and throwing bait at the target object is the state when Ding Meixi was doing spy work.
And that plain face, nagging, house clothes, fried in the kitchen, cooking and washing for her family, is what she should look like as a wife and mother.
I am reluctant to throw away the used content, and I don't know what the use is, but I simply feel that it may be useful, and I am reluctant to throw away the empty bottle;
The mask expired, very sorry, very distressed. It is also natural to be reluctant to throw it away, and naturally think that it can be used to apply to the feet;
While envying colleagues, the little girl wears a brand name, lives a dashing and beautiful life. While complaining that he hadn't done manicure for two months, but with money, the first thing that came to mind was his children and husband.
The reason why Ding Meixi makes people sigh is that these details of life are true. This woman who nags and complains all day, but is preoccupied with the family – is a spy.
The superior's order is as big as the sky, and Ding Meixi must complete the task seriously. But seducing this role made her deeply humiliated.
After completing the task, Ding Meixi, if no one was impatient, brushed her teeth on the street impatiently, which was her silent resistance to the seduction work.
After successfully getting the approval from Huo Chuanlu, Ding Meixi did not want to be squeezed anymore, and did not get the reward he deserved.
Ding Meixi used the approval as a chip, bargained with her ex-boyfriend and current superior Lin Yu, and the emotional Ding Meixi said something very unspynchronous and out of control——
Ding Meixi said that she was a people's teacher, and in order to obtain approval, she and Huo Chuanlu had a lot of trouble and everyone knew. As a result, he was thrown off the podium and expelled from the teaching and research group.
This is Ding Meixi's real reaction under the pressure of the great pressure, showing her heart - she likes the profession of teacher, she likes the three-foot podium.
Compared with the unseemly spy work that made her Ding Meixi humiliated, Ding Meixi was obviously more willing to be a respected people's teacher under the sun.
Although Li Tang was next to Ding Mei, who was out of control, she said that she had hypothyroidism and did not take medicine today. But the old treacherous Lin Yu still made an accurate judgment - Ding Mei was ruined.
As a spy, is Ding Meixi ruined or awakened? There are different opinions from different perspectives. Dante Meixi herself, her feeling must be: into the wrong line.
People's teacher Ding Meixi, if there is no spy this identity. Even if the husband is just an ordinary taxi driver, even the daughter is still so rebellious.
Even if they still live in old age and are powerless to improve, even if the mother-daughter relationship is still tense, Ding Meixi will certainly not suffer from hypothyroidism.
What makes Ding Meixi afraid, nervous, and out of control is not life itself, but the profession that is wrong and cannot be gotten rid of--spy.
