In fact, Mo Ran has always wanted to write something. He always thought that after reading some books, he should write a novel to express his heart to the world, but on the other hand, he felt that writing is a great thing, and He himself was young and ignorant, his talents were poor, and his writing would not look good, it would only make people laugh, so it would be better not to write. This contradiction has been going on for several years, and I have not written yet, but the idea in my mind has been just around the corner.
Moran originally wanted to write an ancient fairy tale novel (presumably every post-80s and post-90s generation has a dream of martial arts or fairy tales!) For this purpose, I also did some homework, but I was so ambitious that I waited until the actual time. When you act, you can't help but make a big discount, and then you end up with nothing.
Contradictory Silence In the later days, I can only continue to read other books to comfort the distant dream of writing in my heart. After reading a few romance novels, I was quite moved, so I made up my mind to write a contemporary novel, which can be regarded as the training of writing and the beginning of my coding career.
? At the beginning of 2017, during the business trip in Tianjin, due to the company¡¯s coordination error, the construction team could not be in place for a long time. Although Mo Ran was blamed by the owner, his life was very leisurely. But people are a social animal, and they are most afraid of loneliness, especially in a foreign place, where they can see strangers everywhere, and Mo Ran is not a dissolute person, and he does not want to always indulge in the joy of feasting and feasting. So most of the time, he can only spend time in a daze in front of the empty room in the hotel. Later, he was really bored, so he started to code and chat for comfort. Since then, the road to writing books has finally begun.
Writing is boring, and it is also the best way for a person to reflect on himself. Although the process was painful and unbearable, during that business trip in Tianjin, Mo Ran persisted for more than a month, and wrote about 160,000 words.
After the business trip was over, because everything was not going well in the company, I was silently discouraged, and thought of leaving the company, so I didn't feel in the mood to continue writing. After resigning, Mo Ran originally wanted to develop his ambitions and finish the new book he has been obsessed with, but he is also a sloppy person and does not have enough self-control, so he is addicted to online games and cannot extricate himself.
After playing for more than three months, I silently watched my money getting more and more embarrassing, and it was almost to the point where I couldn't get rid of it. As a last resort, I reluctantly cheered up and started looking for a job. Finally, it took him more than a month. He endured the hot and sweltering weather in Shanghai in July before he found a more satisfying job. Because he had to work hard during the probationary period, he lost his mind to write. .
Probably when the National Day came, Mo Ran got together at his elder brother¡¯s house for a few days, and was encouraged by his family, so he had the passion for creation again. Since then, he has been writing and collecting materials intermittently during work. Until May of the following year, because I was familiar with an environment and didn't make much achievements in my work, I thought of resigning again, so I didn't want to write any more. It was not until one month later, when Mo Ran really left the company, that he devoted himself to coding again. After nearly a year of persistence, he finally completed this book.
Gossip aside, the following will discuss one or two aspects of the book's theme, title, person's name, etc., for your reference only when reading.
Subject:
When writing this book, Mo Ran has always been vague about the main idea of ??the novel. Although it has its charm, it is only a hazy shadow when it comes to writing. At the beginning, Moran only wanted to write about social malpractice, workplace, emotion and nostalgia, which are familiar to everyone, because when writing the book, Moran had already experienced in the society for several years. He didn't make much achievements in love, so he who failed couldn't help being cynical, and wanted to use his pen to expose this ugly social reality. This is often involved in the beginning of the book, but as he wrote, he thought of Zhu Jun They are all highly educated people, and their knowledge and conversation are naturally extraordinary. Wouldn't it be tricky to talk about these things in front of everyone? Moreover, Moran's intelligence is limited, and when analyzing things, he can't penetrate three points like those learned people, and he is far from being able to alert the world to alert people, so it is difficult to continue writing, and he doesn't know how to write.
But if the novel has no theme, wouldn't writing be at the end of its rope? So in those days, Moran had no choice but to revisit the old books again, looking for inspiration from them. It was not in vain. After thinking hard for a long time, he finally realized that he could write a novel about contemporary young people facing emotional confusion.
It's a pity that Moran is not an emotional expert, and he can't give a particularly correct opinion on the right and wrong of the word "love", so you don't have to be too serious about the right and wrong here in the book. If you don't agree with it, think about it as just a novel, and it should be used as a pastime after dinner, just to kill time, and it's really not worth studying.
The following discusses one or two of the contents of the book:
Maybe some people will disagree with Li Shaohui's attitude towards his career. He obviously has a very good career.Source, but do not cherish, in the end is so-so, no achievements. In fact, this is a contradictory result of the blending of ideals, reality and personality, and it is also the ending of Li Shaohui as a noble, pedantic and cowardly scholar. This is discussed in the chapter "Spring Festival" in the book. Use the evaluation of "a scholar" and "a scholar who has misunderstood the country since ancient times".
Writing here, I can¡¯t help but think of Zhao Xinmei¡¯s comment on Fang Hongjian in "The Besieged City" "You don¡¯t hate it, but it is useless", and Cao Xueqin¡¯s comment on Jia Baoyu in "Dream of Red Mansions" is also "poorly living up to the good times, Yuguo Yujia is hopeless , the incompetent number one in the world, unworthy and unparalleled in ancient and modern times." Therefore, for Li Shaohui's protagonist, I hope everyone will not criticize him too much, he is just a cowardly scholar.
As for the ending between him and several girls, some of them have become clear, and I believe everyone has also understood it. There are still things that are not clear, and the benevolent see benevolence and the wise see wisdom. Love has always been an unsolvable puzzle from ancient times to the present. We are all just groping and moving forward in the maze of love. As the so-called love word is, we can't help ourselves, so in the end, Li Shaohui's emotional ending is also the same. A mystery, Mo Ran doesn't know, Li Shaohui doesn't know, and Zhu Jun probably doesn't know very well, so Mo Ran can only lament, let everything go as it pleases!
But no matter how confused the ending is, there are a few points in the book that can be summed up. There are four things to do in a person's life. Feeling; Secondly, we will also be liked by others, and then we will understand what it is like to be loved and cared for by others. Only after experiencing these, will we truly understand the meaning of love, and find the person who is suitable for us and grow old with us for the rest of our lives , although this person may not be your favorite, and may not be your favorite. But love, how can there be so many perfections, after experiencing ups and downs, setbacks and sentimental romances, you will find that the most important thing is to find someone who suits you and your life, the familiar feeling of holding your left hand and holding your right hand And the plainness that blends into the blood and seeps into the bones is the truest taste of life.
As for the language style in the novel, it was influenced by two books. After reading "Fortress Besieged", I was deeply inspired. I felt that the irony of old scholars like Qian Lao was unique, so I drew a tiger like a cat. Later, after reading the novel "Border Town", I admired Shen Lao's water-like language, so I followed the example, which also caused the language style of this book to change all the time. Don't blame me, everyone. Think of it as eating a bowl of northern stew!
Because Mo Ran has also done some research on the novel, and knows that the ending of the novel can be divided into comedy and tragedy. Comedy, in his short-term cognition, always thinks that after laughing, no one will remember it, just like a geese passing without leaving a trace, leaving no trace of memory, far less touching than tragedy, but blindly pursuing sadness , It does not conform to the purpose of the novel to be sad but not sad.
So then Moran wondered if he could use a nonsensical comedy to interpret a silent tragedy like "A Chinese Journey to the West"! Just like "Dream of Red Mansions", there will always be a hint of sadness hidden behind the extreme prosperity to touch people's hearts. So this book, also in the midst of consummation, has too much helplessness and regret, in career, in friends, in love, just like our life, there will always be all kinds of regrets that make us sigh and linger endlessly.
Title of book:
It is said that a name is a person's soul, and the same is true for books, because I am afraid that the title of the book cannot succinctly summarize the purpose of the whole book, and because this is the first window of the soul of the book, it must not be sloppy, so I waited until most of the novel was written. , the title of the book turned out to be the biggest problem, and Mo Ran didn't know how to name it for a long time. After racking my brains, I finally had the following options, "Walking and Walking, It's Dispersed", "Passer", "Passage of a Passer", "Feng Hua Xue Yue", "Another Romance", "Mo Wen Return Date" and "Old Town Love".
At the beginning, I wanted to title the book "Fenghuaxueyue". Careful readers may find that the names of the girls who are entangled with Li Shaohui's fate will have one of the characters in their names, and they can just form "Fenghuaxueyue" the word. But if the title of the book is "Feng Hua Xue Yue", then its focus is to write the emotional stories of our generation and that of our parents. Later, when summarizing, Mo Ran felt that if this book only wrote about the tenderness of children, it seemed a bit thin, and the theme was not profound enough, so he kept thinking about how to sublimate it.
? Until one time on a business trip in a remote hotel, looking at the pattering autumn rain in the vast night outside the window, I was suddenly quite sentimental and felt lonely. At that moment, in the old city, he suddenly realized soberly that all the years of wasting and loneliness were due to the love in his heart, the little love in the old city, which made him struggle in hesitation and sigh in lonelinessso later Hence the title of the book "Old Town Love".
Afterwards, when I read the novels, I found that there are also many famous works discussing the profound meaning of the words "old city" and "loneliness"¡ª¡ªmaybe they are the eternal melody in life. From then on, Mo Ran tasted these two words from time to time, and gained a deeper understanding.
