Foreign novels give me the feeling that the book is thick, and the thick book generally makes me prohibitive. But at the same time, I also found that many books that look very thick, when I turn the first page, I can't wait to read it. So, many times, the quality of a story is not the thickness of the book, but whether the storytelling text has the urge to continue reading.
The Lying Game is a thick book, 410 pages thick, and the first time I saw it, I began to question whether I had the courage to read it. But when I finished reading it in two days, I thought that although the book looked thick, it was easy for people to read. The biggest selling point of every book is whether the words have the power to keep people reading. Obviously, the book "The Lying Game" has this power for me.
When I see the title of the book, I wonder, what kind of game is called a lying game? When I read the book, I also wondered, why are there always lies between people? I was silent after reading the book, maybe this is how our lives are, when we don't know it we start our own game of lying, and then we need to complete it through one lie after another. Where is the end of life?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right> is there ever-eternity friendship in this world? </h1>
A 30-year-old life means stability and means that you are living your own new life. Those friends when they were students are only preserved in their memories, and occasionally remember, they can only be remembered. After all, after leaving school, everyone will step into different social circles and start their own different lives. The 4 girls in "The Lying Game" are like this.
I've always believed that the friends I made in school are the guide for the future direction of life, and in The Lying Game, it's more or less the same. The four girls make good friends and participate in a spontaneous game called "Lying Game", which focuses on lying and sees that everyone can deceive other people through their own lies in their daily lives. One of the rules of the "lying game" is that you can't lie to your own people- and you can lie a lot, but when you get along with your friends, lying is not allowed.
The 4 girls grew up following this rule until the father of one of the girls – all the girls' art teachers disappeared, all seemingly unchanged lives changed – the art teacher's work of the 4 girls was discovered – because the art was easier to evoke, the school finally decided to suspend the 4 girls. The girls accepted the result because they had no choice but to know where the art teacher was.
When all the dust settles, until the girls grow up, until they each have their own families, once found the body of an adult male on the beach next to the school, the girls returned to the place where they had laughed, and began a new round of lying games - the male corpse, the art teacher of the year, was also the person who drew the 4 girls' works.
When I first started watching The Lying Game, I looked at it as a daily life diary, because I only saw girls interspersed with adult life and student life. In "The Lying Game", girls feel worried about unfamiliar environments when they start school, but when they make friends, these worries are put aside, and after getting familiar with school life, there is only a happy life left in the world of student life. If you think about it, this beginning of The Lying Game, with the exception of the beach corpses found in the prologue, is really a microcosm of what we were as students.
Life is always full of accidents, and everyone does not know what their life will become in the next second. Like the 4 girls in "The Lying Game", each of them seems to have become a self that has never been imagined. Religion or faith, in their world, the story of parting ways belongs only to each person's own story. Each person eventually grows into a person on their own, until all of them meet again for one person.
"As long as you need me, I will appear in front of you", this is a symbol of the friendship of 4 girls, will the friendship really last forever? I don't know, but I know that in this world, there is no eternal existence, and many friendships that seem to have a strong relationship are directly broken in the end. There are many reasons for rupture, the most direct of which is that we fall in love with the same person, or that we are getting farther and farther apart.
Whether there is everlasting friendship in this world, I can't come up with an answer. In The Lying Game, I didn't find a specific answer either. It seems that the 4 girls have been with each other all the time, even after adulthood, each of them has already had their own family. But in some ways, they are already separated from each other's lives and run counter to their former selves.
In this world, some questions may not have answers, and some questions may be different people can give different answers. But most importantly, in each of our own hearts, what are the answers we care about, and what the answers we focus on are. Whether there is eternal friendship may not matter, what matters is whether you can still be in front of my eyes when I need you.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > in the name of love, how to love? </h1>
I've always thought that friendship is also a kind of love, but it's different from some love. The love of friendship is different from the love of love, and it is also different from the love of affection, but it cannot be said that friendship has no love. The friendship between the 4 girls is the characteristic of their love, but in their friendship love, there are more or less other love existence.
The love of the art teacher for the students belongs to the love of the elders for the younger generations, not to mention that among this group of students, there is another person who is his daughter, so the art teacher naturally takes more care of the 4 girls, even if the art teacher himself once had a disgraceful black history.
Originally, it was nothing but a teacher and a student, but the teacher brought back a boy and lived with him all the time. Young hearts always have all kinds of expectations, young girls and young boys, no one can guarantee that there will be no moment of emotion. At first, the teacher was only distressed that the child did not have a good family environment, but when the teacher found that his daughter and his son were moved, the teacher could only use the most primitive method to separate the two children - to send the boy back to his original place to live.
As a result, the teacher disappears from everyone's world, but the 4 girls know that the teacher has actually lost her life. The story develops, without any accidents, the boy still returns to the city where he once lived, away from his beloved girl, 4 girls drop out of school and part ways, until a long time later the teacher's body is found by the people of the town.
In the book "The Lying Game", everyone's life is full of uncertainty, just like we live in this world and never know what will happen to us in the next second. The lives of the 4 people are once again shattered when the teacher's body is found, and Elsa has an argument with her husband over these issues.
Two people who can form a family must have love. The harmony of the family lies in the trust of the two people in this emotion. Loving this thing will eventually disperse from the two-person world to the family, because the composition of each family has other beings besides parents.
Can responsibility for children be called love? Many people in this world like to control other people's lives in the name of "love" and say very "sincerely": "I love you, I am for your own good." But in this world, only you can know what your life is like, and good or bad is not determined by the "love" of others. Therefore, no one can say which is right and wrong.
Watching "The Lying Game", I used to envy the carefree life of the 4 girls, and I also used to envy the happy time of the 4 girls together. But when I watched all the stories unfold before our eyes little by little, I suddenly felt envious, because I didn't know who was wrong and who was right in all these stories. Is there a right or wrong in life?
Once people start lying, they don't know how to stop. As long as people start to lie, they need to use one lie after another to make up for the shortcomings of previous lies. The game of lying is just a game, but it is more of a rule of life, and as long as this rule is broken, then someone will pay the price.
I always feel that in "Lying Game", the final ending of everyone is the result of their own participation in the "lying game". In life, we also have people who create more lies to make others believe in themselves because of a lie, but once all the lies are exposed, those who desperately create lies in order to get a good result will inevitably encounter more unpredictable things.
The game of lying, never touch, isolate and stay away from it. Just treat all of this as a story, and warn ourselves that we should never make those fearless mistakes. When you are alive, do what you should do, take every step you want to take, and then smile at this life and live this life.
