Han Han has a work called "1988, I want to talk to the world." There is a fragment of "what is reality" in this book, which is extremely interesting.
The rough meaning of this is that the reality is not to boil a frog in warm water – to swallow a pot of water warmly, and the frog sits in it until the water temperature rises and loses the ability to jump out of the pot, so that it is cooked into a table delicacy.
The reality is that the pot lid is tight, the weight is pressed, the fire is the biggest, and the fire is fierce. Only to hear the frogs bouncing around in the pot, crackling and crashing into the lid of the pot, accompanied by a scream of twittering and wah-wah, until it is silent, until the water is boiling, and the fragrance is overflowing. And this is the creepy reality.
I excerpt from this book as follows:
The process we had together was like this, she said, she was a good girl, but had just come to the city, and frankly, she couldn't guarantee she wouldn't change because the world was like a boiled frog.
I said, in fact, boiling frogs in warm water is a wrong saying, warm water can not boil frogs.
Meng Meng said that the point of attention you pay attention to when you talk is really strange.
I said, really, Brother Tintin told me before, Brother Tintin is an older brother of mine, he cooked me a frog once when I was still in elementary school, we first put the frog in water, and then boiled, boiled for a while, the frog felt hot, and jumped out on its own, Brother Tintin told me that there are some things that everyone thinks is right, and it may be wrong. But I'm going to tell you, don't use frogs to make excuses for changing reality, warm water can't cook frogs, frogs are not so stupid, this is the reality.
Meng Meng said, I don't believe it, I want to come to your house to do the experiment, tomorrow afternoon I will come, you address me, prepare the pot and frogs.
I said, come on.
The next day, Meng Meng came to my house on time. She looked around and said, "Do you live alone?"
I said, yes.
Meng Meng said, what about frogs?
I said and bought two to ensure the accuracy of the test. In fact, if you come in the summer, you can catch frogs in this house yourself.
Meng Meng said, then you live in this room, you can also be regarded as the frog prince.
I couldn't really compliment these acting girls' cold jokes, but I laughed politely.
Lu Meng said and began to cook.
I put the frog in the pot.
When it was still cold water, frogs were breaststroke in it. The water temperature began to rise somewhat, and the frog still did not change its swimming posture. Meng Meng was a little proud, said, you see, there is no response, you turn on the fire a little smaller, slowly cook the frog, in case it is cooked to death, the meat is more delicious - some.
I turned the fire to the minimum, we watched the frog wandering inside, but as the temperature increased, the frog was a little uneasy, turned into a freestyle, some jumped, I said to Meng Meng, Meng Meng, you see, it is about to jump out, no matter how slow it is cooked, don't think that reality can change you, don't be blackened by the night, you have to be yourself, reality is actually not as powerful as you think, reality is just a paper tiger?
A loud bang. Meng Meng hurried before the frog jumped out, grabbed the pot with a lid, and immediately turned the fire to the maximum, while the frog jumped inside, and I was terrified to see it.
Meng Meng pressed down hard with one hand, while turning around and looking directly at me, saying, This is the reality.
