Chapter 2474 Fame Is Loneliness

Latest website: Chu Xiu is introverted, quiet, delicate and less noisy than Jiang Xiaojia.

She and Yang Fei went on a business trip to Beijin. Whether in the car or on the plane, as long as Yang Fei didn't take the initiative to find her, she had almost nothing to say.

At an altitude of 10,000 meters, the plane flies through the clouds.

Yang Fei was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, holding a book and reading.

Chu Xiu sat quietly beside her.

Yang Fei glanced at her and said with a smile: "Chu Xiu, the journey is still long. You can do something you like. Don't be restrained. You see, every time Xiaojia is on the plane, she is just like at home. She should sing Just sing, dance when you need to, sleep when you want, eat when you want.”

Chu Xiu said with a smile: "Xiaojia is playing crazy, I can't let go."

Yang Fei said: "Then you can also read a book, drink coffee. Or chat with the flight attendants."

Chu Xiudao: "It's better for me to stay by your side. I'm your secretary."

Yang Fei felt deeply in love with her for her sensibleness.

He was immediately surprised by the emotion he had, so he looked back and continued reading.

However, he couldn't concentrate anymore. What was displayed on the page was no longer words, but Chu Xiu's pretty and lovely appearance.

Just now, when he was about to call Chu Xiu, he almost called out the word "wife".

Ten years as a couple is unusual. How can we easily forget goodbye?

"Are you worried?" Chu Xiu's delicate voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

Yang Fei was startled: "What's wrong?"

Chu Xiu smiled slightly: "I see you haven't turned the pages of the book for more than ten minutes."

Yang Fei chuckled: "Sometimes, I am not reading, but thinking."

Chu Xiu looked admiring: "So you are better than us. If I read a book, I just read a book. You can still think when you read a book."

Yang Fei said: "What books are you reading recently?"

“I’m rewatching One Hundred Years of Solitude.

"

"Oh, really?" Yang Fei became interested, closed the book in his hand, and asked, "Do you read this book?"

"Do you want to ask me if I can understand?"

"That's not what I mean. It's just that most people can't read this book."

"When I was in college, I borrowed it from the library and read it. I didn't understand it very well at the time, but I still finished it. I went to the book fair last week and saw a new translation, so I bought a copy. Come back and see.”

"Well, when buying books, especially foreign books, the translation and publisher are very important. It is best to read foreign languages, which is more intuitive and original."

"For books like Jane Eyre, I can barely read the original foreign language. One Hundred Years of Solitude will be very difficult for me to read."

"What do you think of this book?"

"There are too many characters in the book. In the end, I only remember one Úrsula. She was a good wife, a good mother, and a good grandmother. She lived the longest, and she was also the wisest, the most determined, and the most down-to-earth. , she has the power from nature and the land, and she represents the most positive and diligent side of human nature. As for the solemn historical connotation and sharp critical vision in the book, these are not what I can see about that period of history. I don’t know much about it.”

Yang Fei said: "There is a saying that reads well without asking for a deep understanding. Most of us appreciate classics in this way, so we cannot appreciate the essence of the book. We have read some classics once or twice and feel they are not enough. In fact, we haven’t understood some books yet. We have to look at them in light of the historical background and humanistic conditions at that time, otherwise it’s just smoke and mirrors.”

"Then can you tell me the background of this book?" Chu Xiu said hopefully.

Yang Fei smiled and said: "Of course. But I don't know much about it either. Let's discuss it with each other."

Chu Xiudao: "You are too humble. The book you wrote is so high-level. I have read it many times!"

Yang Fei coughed lightly and roughly told the background of the story One Hundred Years of Solitude.

In the 70 years from 1830 to the end of the last century, dozens of civil wars broke out in Colombia, killing hundreds of thousands of people.

"One Hundred Years of Solitude" describes this historical fact in a large space, and it is concentratedly displayed through the legendary career of the protagonist in the book.

The hypocrisy of politicians, the cruelty of rulers, the blind obedience and ignorance of the people, etc. are all vividly written.

The writer García Márquez uses vivid writing to depict many characters with distinctive personalities and depicts the lonely spirit of this family.

In this family, there is no emotional communication, trust and understanding between husband and wife, between father and son, between mother and daughter, and between brothers and sisters.

Although many people have made various arduous explorations to break loneliness, they all ended in failure because they could not find an effective way to unify the scattered forces.

This loneliness not only pervades the Buendia family and the town of Macondo, but also permeates narrow-mindedness and becomes a major burden that hinders the nation's upward progress and the country's progress.

The writer writes this in the hope that Latin American people can unite and work together to get rid of loneliness.

After listening to Yang Fei's explanation, Chu Xiu felt like she was seeing the blue sky through the clouds, and said thoughtfully: "It turns out that this book is about getting rid of loneliness. I have always felt that people are lonely because of loneliness, or they appreciate loneliness. That’s why I read this famous book!”

Yang Fei said: "Are you lonely?"

Chu Xiudao: "I don't know if it's loneliness. Let's talk about loneliness. I have many friends, like Xiaojia and Secretary Chen. They are all very good friends. However, I can still feel loneliness. I Shouldn’t we have this idea?”

Yang Fei said: "Loneliness is not in the mountains but on the streets. It is not in one person but among many people."

Chu Xiu groaned, savoring the meaning of Yang Fei's words, and said nothing for a long time.

It turns out that not being alone is called loneliness.

As long as you feel lonely, even if you are in a crowded commercial street, even if you are surrounded by friends, you are still lonely.

She asked: "So do you feel lonely?"

The smile on Yang Fei's face suddenly froze.

Lonely?

He thought for a while and replied seriously: "Fame means loneliness. Fame is like crystals displayed in a shop window. You are placed on display there for the world to appreciate. All passers-by on the road are looking at you, but any No one can touch you, and you can’t touch anyone.”

Chu Xiu shook her head: "I don't understand."

Yang Fei said: "Everyone has moments of loneliness. Sometimes, we also need loneliness, because loneliness can give us inspiration and allow us to reflect on ourselves."

Chu Xiudao: "Is loneliness innate? Is marriage to get rid of loneliness? Will you no longer be lonely after getting married? Or are we always lonely and only need companionship, not love?"

Yang Fei repeated what she said: "We are always lonely. We only need companionship, not love?"

His soft heart was touched by these words!

Maybe, in the end, marriage is really about companionship and no longer about falling in love?

He thought of his past life and his present life.

The marriage failed in the previous life, and it failed again in this life!

Is it because he is constantly looking for love but has forgotten that the function of marriage is companionship? Is it to make a person no longer lonely?

Yang Fei suddenly burst into tears as he thought about it.
