【Rebirth after the Apocalypse: Reflections and Enlightenment of Underworld Literature】
Come, brothers and sisters, let's have some fun today! Recently, there has been a gust of "underworld literature" on the rivers and lakes, which can blow people's blood boiling if they are not careful. But we can't just enjoy it, we have to keep our eyes open and watch the doorway.
To be honest, these books are a bit interesting. Chen Xuewen in "Urban Leading Supreme" has changed from an honest man to a ruthless character, and this reversal is strong enough. "The Hidden Past of the South" is narrated in the first person, as if it is chattering in the ear, and the substitution is very good. There is also "North Market Fengyun", which takes us back to the eighties and nineties and relives that bloody era.
But, brothers and sisters, we can't just look at the surface. Behind these stories, it reflects the dark side of our society and the complexity of human nature. Take Chen Xuewen as an example, a young man with a duty was forced to go to Liangshan, which reflects social injustice and the lack of the rule of law. Look at "The Secret Past of the South", which of those disputes and grievances is not gambling with his life?
Some people may say, isn't it just to be cool to watch this? Brother understands, but we have to be sober. How can the real underworld be as romantic as it is written in the novel? Whoever fights and kills, his destiny will be gone. Just like what is said in "North Market Storm", stepping into the rivers and lakes is a catastrophe.
So, when we read this kind of novel, we have to read it with our brains. Cool to cool, don't take fiction as reality. If you really want to learn something, it is better to learn the resilience and wisdom of these protagonists in the face of adversity. But don't learn what they do, you can't eat and walk around.
In the end, what my brother wants to say is that we live in this era of peace, and we have a lot of opportunities to realize the value of life through legitimate channels. Instead of fantasizing about the rivers and lakes, it is better to be down-to-earth and cherish the current happy life. That's the real way to win in life, don't you?
