Chapter 161: End of Volume Summary and Update Adjustments
The second volume of "Crossing the New World" ends here.
In this second volume, the role of the protagonist panda is greatly reduced, and the role of other transmigrators - especially tigers - is greatly increased. So some readers told me that your story is a little loose.
Honestly, I feel the same way myself. If there is a chance in the future to do a remake like Jin Yong did, I may delete about one-third of the content of this volume, and I have taken over many places in one stroke, so as to focus on the protagonist.
In the series, someone told me that the role of tiger is very uncomfortable.
I asked: where is the discomfort?
Answer: Too hypocritical!
Question: Even if he practiced his ideas, is he hypocritical?
A: Yes, I always feel that he is hypocritical.
I was a little puzzled at first - if even "doing it yourself" is hypocrisy, how can it be not hypocritical?
After thinking about it carefully, I finally understood where the problem was.
Tiger's body reflects the helplessness of "humanity" in the face of "reality".
Everyone has good ideals, but most good ideals can only be ideals. When faced with all kinds of unsatisfactory reality, ideals can only be smashed into the sand. Even if you work hard, the hope of success is very slim.
why is that? Maybe it's because the "individual" is too weak. This weakness lies not only in strength, but also in wisdom and spirit. Often times, wisdom and spirit are far more important than strength. In the tide of the times, even if a wise man has no power, he can rise to the tide and become a tide-maker. Even if ordinary people have power, they can often only be swallowed by the tide.
However, in this world, the vast majority of people do not have such wisdom.
Tigers are also weak to that world, at least for now. So he hit the wall everywhere, very embarrassed. Like an ancient Qingliu official, all kinds of inappropriate, full of complaints - and continue to do so.
If the reality is used as a comparison, perhaps he should give up rationally, which is the choice that conforms to the values of modern people. It is indeed hypocritical to insist on persevering even if it fails. It's like the same country perishes, and the one who surrenders gets glory and wealth. At that time, Qing Shi Liufang, who died at that time, was questioned by people who were wondering whether he was sincere or hypocritical while sitting in the prison muttering "I won't surrender".
However, the option to "give up" is something I don't like.
There is a famous allusion about Zhang Yi in the Warring States Period. Because he was suspected of stealing the jade bi of a high-ranking official, he received hundreds of whips and was miserable. But he said to his wife, "Do you see my tongue still there?" "Yes." "That's enough."
As long as the tongue is still there, you can continue to lobby and debate. For the Zongheng family, this is not a failure.
And for the immortal tiger, as long as he doesn't give up, he is not considered a failure.
Not now, not in the future. What cannot be done now, may not be done in the future. As long as you continue to move forward and continue to grow, even if it seems vague, let alone hope, it is difficult to distinguish right from wrong, and it may not be possible to get good results in the future.
The premise is that you have to persevere and persevere to the end.
Right or wrong, stick to the end and be a tough guy.
I have an almost obsessive obsession with the character of "tough guy". I always feel that a good person must have this tough guy spirit of "I'm not dead, I'm not defeated".
Good or bad, an excellent person, a person who can make a difference, should have such a spirit.
Although in reality, perhaps a smooth approach and a soft attitude can lead to more success...
Well, enough nonsense, talk about the next volume and the adjustment of the update plan.
The next volume is mainly about the wandering of pandas.
It's really a pity for a person to travel to a different world and not walk around to see, at least I think so.
Even if you don't get any benefits, just looking at the scenery and people in various places is not a waste of time and ink.
As for the update time, I plan to adjust it to 12:00 and 20:00, which is more convenient.
If you have any comments, please put forward them.
Although I rarely answer, I actually read the book review section all the time.
