Chapter 198 [Realism and Idealism]

Yanyuan, by the unnamed lake.

Although it is said that literary young people love literature and most of them are idealistic, they can be said to be highly praised for the realistic "Tengu" written by Lin Youcheng, because such a critical work with great practical significance really makes many literary young people feel happy. Hot blooded.

Yes, most young people today are still passionate idealists, just like tengu.

Although they were shocked by Lin Youcheng's "Tengu" because it was a story they had never been exposed to, or a world they had never been exposed to, there was no doubt that such a world made them angry, and also I am shocked by people like Tengu.

"It's such a shocking novel. Tengu's determination in his heart is amazing. In such a desperate world, he still maintains his integrity and strong backbone. It's admirable."

"Yes, it is amazing that a person like Li Tiangu still harbors idealism, but it is undoubtedly a great irony that such a hero has become a murderer."

A group of young people are discussing the "Tengu" written by Lin Youcheng enthusiastically. There is no doubt that they all admire the "Tengu" in the story from the bottom of their hearts.

A man looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "This story is quite realistic. This story may exist in many places in the country, but people like Li Tiangou who can uphold justice are really rare, and it is very likely that in reality A story like this would be much darker."

"Yes, when I first saw the title of the novel "Tengu", I thought it was a fantasy novel that is now popular. After reading it, I realized that it is a realistic novel about China's old society."

"The key point is that Lin Youcheng did not narrowly write about the human blood steamed buns that prey on the corrupt and unruly management of the institutional class. Instead, he implicitly raised the ultimate issue of human nature and performed it in a real and credible way."

"I can only say that Tengu is worthy of being a field soldier. In the end, he relied on his willpower to defeat the sniper. He is a real man and a real soldier."

"I thought it was a fantasy novel, but I didn't expect it to be so realistic."

"Yes, the threats he encountered escalated each time, but he never forgot his beliefs and used his actual actions to compose a hymn to life."

……

"Perhaps the reason why Lin Youcheng chose to use "Tiangu" as the title of the novel is that besides the main character being named "Tiangu", it may also be that reality is more magical. In the novel, it is because closed-minded people have become the best group to fool. The Kong family relied on A little bit of knowledge goes astray and turns the whole village into a barbaric place.”

"There are no innocent people standing next to every tragedy."

"That's right. The Tengu's roar shows helplessness and aggrievedness, but it can't change the status quo no matter what. In addition to using violence to fight violence or escaping, the only way to intervene is by rights, but the communication channels are cut off. In real life, even having an estimate is useless, and fighting violence with violence requires courage and determination, so you can only rely on escape, but escape is probably impossible in reality. In the end, you have to blend in or wait for death. "

The story of "Tengu" can be said to be the questioning of life caused by a serious case in the forest: Is he the murderer? Or a hero? There is no victory of justice over evil in the story, no halo of the protagonist, only cruel reality and dark human nature. The hero who has removed his halo is more powerful, and the impact of this power on the soul is irresistible.

Although these are still young students in school, their blood is also hot, especially in such an ideal era, where they are full of idealism for everything. Naturally, they also have deep feelings for heroes like Tengu. admire.

Because this is the struggle of Tengu's noble spirit in the face of all kinds of cruel persecution and sugar-coated bullets. Such a story is too vivid, it is a very direct and real force, like a knife, ruthlessly tearing apart the cruelty of reality.

Even though the story written by Lin Youcheng is relatively subtle in a realistic way, and I dare not imagine how cruel it would be in that village, people who have read the story clearly understand that in such a realistic dark world, it will be so cruel. More thrilling, bloody, violent and screaming.

And this is also the reason why these young people admire and respect him from the bottom of their hearts.

Idealism does not fail to accept realism. True idealism is that after recognizing cruel realism, it will still stick to its ideals and beliefs like a tengu.

……

Beijing, University of Political Science and Law.

Zha Haiming has always paid attention to Lin Youcheng's works, but he personally prefers Lin Youcheng's love works, because in Lin Youcheng's works, such love stories are as beautiful as poetry, making his heart sway and unable to restrain himself. That longing for love.

But as a teacher at the University of Political Science and Law, Zha Haiming has always read Lin Youcheng's works even if Lin Youcheng's writing is not a love story. For Lin Youcheng's latest "Tengu", it is completely different from Lin Youcheng's. The previous works were neither thrilling love nor cold and cruel war, but a desperate and dark reality, which really shocked Zha Haiming.

Because in the story of "Tengu", those people don't seem to care about the law at all, nor do they care why the Tengu prevents the felling of trees.

"When a good person or even a hero encounters something like this and does not receive the protection of the law, there are usually only two outcomes waiting for him. One is to be persecuted to death, and the other is to fight back."

Zha Haiming and his colleagues were also discussing Lin Youcheng's "Tengu".

Because in a place like the University of Political Science and Law, "Tengu" seems to be more meaningful for discussion.

Hearing Zha Haiwen's words, the teacher looked solemn and said, "You are right, but I just don't know how other people would choose, whether they would choose the former or the latter. After all, not everyone is like a tengu. That’s a demobilized soldier.”

"Yes, it is really difficult to read Lin Youcheng's story. The feeling of powerlessness is suffocating."

Zha Haiming couldn't imagine whether he would persist if he were in the position of Tengu, or whether he would choose to compromise.

Such thoughts appeared in Zha Haiming's mind unknowingly, making him think endlessly and very complicated thoughts.

There is nothing romantic about such a story, only cruelty, and it is not the cruelty of wars in the past, but the cruelty that may be happening now.

Zha Haiming looked out the window and suddenly said: "If there was such a story in reality, I wonder what kind of decision the ranger would make?"
