It is reported that this short story is different from the previous suspense and horror as the main line, but more inclined to the inspirational direction of hope. There are only four stories this year, but the same brain hole is wonderful, and the biggest surprise is that Nishijima Toshihide reappeared after 12 years.

《Beauty Tax》
Being born as a beauty and being born as a rich and official are both sinful (full of jealousy)! In this era of "appearance is justice", the three major witchcraft in Asia are prevalent, and everyone knows that a good appearance can bring substantial benefits. Recently, foreign media also published an article saying that a university study in the United States has shown that women who can wear makeup have higher salaries than women who do not wear makeup, although irrefutable, but I am more willing to believe that this is high-end marketing done by cosmetics companies, (in my heart, there is no sister paper that learns makeup together!) ）。
Back to the main topic, this article satirizes quite a few things:
1. This face-watching society
2. The mentality of admiring vanity
3. Greedy and wordless zf
4. Self-deceptive hypocrisy
The reversal of the ending is also intriguing, and it feels like a sublimation of the theme.
Dream Robot
The title may be ambiguous, it is not the robot who dreams, but the human, and the robot provides a substitute for the dream and the present. This is probably a very representative kind of story. A science fiction novel I read as a child told a similar story: in the future world, the scientific community finally rushed out of the solar system and came to a planet with intelligent organisms and modern technology, but after landing on the ground, scientists found only empty streets and shops. Later, in the basement, they found thousands of corpses wearing VR-like devices. After research and analysis, they all died in their dreams. Dreams are provided by machines and passed directly into the human brain, which is a dream that can make people completely unaware of any difference from the real world. Scientists destroyed the machines there and quietly left the planet. Leave thinking: If one day, you could choose between beautiful dreams and unknown realities, what would you choose?
Stories can be thousands, but the theme is constant. This story has been imprinted ever since, and it has taken me a deeper sense when I read the story of Zhuang Zhou Mengdi and the idealistic materialism of political textbooks. Modern education teaches us to face reality, what if one day everyone abandons this world and enters the dream?
Commuter Army
Many ordinary people in district 11 are anti-war, and they see a lot of reflection and criticism of war in film and television works.
If one day, the warrior is like an ordinary commuting profession, nine to five, high salary, good welfare, easy work, but also strong and healthy, give full play to personal value, career ascent channel smooth and fast, then, war or war?
The essence of war is death, and no matter what kind of beautiful things people use to package it, its essence will not change. People who are deceived by sugar-coated packaging will eventually pay a heavy price.
What impressed me was the male protagonist's mantra "まあ、いいか", which revealed the mentality of the world to follow the wind and waves and be at the mercy of others.
"Uncle Guess"
The subject matter of this article is not very obvious, I am stupid and have not been able to see through it.
Can't cash out, can't be applied to the work of the specialty, is it a specialty? In the eyes of employers, I am afraid not. For individuals, I am afraid that I can only discover it on my own. The male protagonist may be a typical example of today's 11th district society (because I have not met, I can only guess), empty of a talent that does not make money (never missed a quiz), but not active (dare not confess, only dare YY), simple and easy to be deceived (to the goddess to pour out everything), no IQ and no emotional intelligence of the maidao. Even such a madao, if one day comes a person, do not abandon him, laugh with him when happy, encourage him when he is lost, eat together, sleep together (huh?). ), bathe together (hey?) ), with his eating his (this can be ignored), even if it is an uncle, will it be moved to tears? (This sentence feels a lot like the long and ugly multiple clauses plus the isotope in English!) The feeling of falling in love is so natural that I can't understand it at all! Love is indeed a very deep and mysterious thing!
The irony and emotional line of this article are really not well understood, does anyone understand?
