Postscript - talk about growth and choice
The story of Weize and Two Thousand Five has been written so far, and then... let's talk about this book and answer a few small questions you may want to know.
The original origin of "Star White Rabbit Candy" is actually a still in "Better Call Saul and Kim are smoking together in the parking lot, and the light and shadow hit them, which is exactly half bright and half dark. It was also the first time at that moment that I wanted to use this lens to create a story.
Of course, Levi may not have so many scenes in the final story, but this does not prevent me from still liking her very much. When I close my eyes, I can think of the scene of her driving her red wild horse and running on the road with Marlboro in her mouth.
Okay, let’s talk about the characters later, let’s talk about what kind of story “State White Rabbit Candy” tells.
The sentence in the introduction of the new version is actually a good summary. This is the story of two lonely souls located on the edge of society keeping each other warm.
Needless to say, two thousand five, she was raised in the laboratory since she was a child, like a human-shaped guinea pig. The Deluo Group attaches great importance to her value and regards her as the most precious asset. However, no one except Weize treats her as a human being, and she cannot even make her voice. It is so quiet that it makes people feel distressed throughout the book.
Weize's situation is more complicated. Although he is a new human, he has had his own glory and glory. He was once the trump card of the Red Nest, and he looked down upon him and could no one stop him.
On the surface, he lost his strength because of that accidental injury and lost his strength, which made his life fall to the bottom, but in fact, I think his tragedy is inevitable. His biggest problem is that he is too childish.
Yes, you read that right.
The thirty-year-old Weize is actually the most childish person in the whole book. In fact, sometimes even I am angry with his childishness.
Oh my God, there are still such irresponsible guys in this world.
He was not very good to his friends to be honest. Poor William was furious for countless times. Levi sometimes didn't look like his agent at all, but more like his real mother, who kept following behind his butt to clean up the mess for him. Caronado of Rhode Island lent his beloved car to Weize, but Weize didn't know how to cherish it at all and made it a mess.
Not to mention that when he meets a woman who makes him moved, he will just keep retreating, have no responsibility at all, and he does not want to take on the responsibilities of his husband and father at all.
He is like a child who never grows up.
But you have to admit that perhaps only a childish and willful little ghost will still insist on charging towards the cliff when he knows that there is no way out in front of him, even if the abyss is waiting for him below.
This is a choice that mature and smart adults won't make.
Speaking of maturity, I remember a story about Li Dan told in an interview program before. He said that he had just graduated and was still a passionate young man full of ideals. Then he went to an internship at a famous newspaper in the south to show his strength. That newspaper was always known for his courage to report the facts and reveal the truth. As a result, when the Chinese New Year was approaching, Li Dan listened to two old reporters chatting in the elevator. One of them asked if the other had bought tickets because he was reported on the Spring Festival travel rush and had something to do with the railway, so he could help the other get tickets.
Li Dan said that it was that moment that made him change his mind, because the newspaper had always shown a moral example before, but the contrast in private made him feel like he was shattered. It was also from then on that time that he decided to give up and continue to be an intellectual, bear the sense of responsibility of an intellectual, and turn to make money well.
I'm not giving this example to evaluate whether his attitude towards life is right or wrong, but I just want to say that this situation is actually quite common.
We always talk about growth and growth. When I was young, I actually didn’t understand what growth was. Maybe after I was thirty, I realized that growth was to adapt to the operating rules of this society.
We were actually quite arrogant when we were in school and really hoped to change the world. However, when we entered the workplace, most people would be beaten by society, such as the 996th incident. Everyone knows that it is wrong, because the labor law says that there are five or two off a week, but if you are serious about this, especially in the Internet industry, it is difficult for most ordinary people to survive.
In addition, you will also encounter social engagements in the workplace, greasy bosses, and there must be things you have to say, do things you don’t want to do, or even some moments of uneasy conscience. These are part of your growth, and most of the time you make the final choices you don’t always follow your heart.
I happened to see an interview with Lei Jun some time ago. Lei Jun talked about why he and Jack Ma were so different. He said that he felt that the gap between the two was not that big in terms of talent and intelligence. Lei Jun himself was also a recognized iron man in the circle. On the contrary, Jack Ma always attended many speeches and activities, and seemed to be the most inappropriate. Finally, Lei Jun sighed that he was also a long time after working in Xiaomi and realized that the biggest gap between the two was actually following the trend.
To go with the trend, to put it bluntly, it is to accept and use the rules of the world to operate.
This is what a smart person does, which can lead you to success faster.
But the problem is that sometimes, or many times, the rules of the world's operation are not always correct, such as 996, and now many books, movie shots that are inexplicably harmonious, such as... the Chinese national football team that can't be beaten.
Unfortunately, most people have no way to change this, and it is difficult for them to even have the idea of resisting.
This is also why I like Weize very much. He is like His Majesty Cervantes's knight Don Gilles, like the self who had to be killed by us in our growth.
I can see part of my own shadow in him, just as I can see part of my own shadow in young people. Most of the time, I think more ordinary people may be a mixture of the two of them.
We will bow to the world at some time, and may be a little braver at other times.
I just hope this story can bring you some courage when you want to be brave ~
Finally, let’s talk about the ending issue.
I personally like this ending very much. I don’t want to write about Weize’s sudden strength recovering and rushing to the headquarters of the Deluo Group to kill and kill. Because this is too exaggerated and does not conform to the reality I have experienced, but I did not write Weize to death. Because it was too cruel, I just let him fly to the vast galaxy with 2,000 and five. As for what will happen later, perhaps everyone has a different understanding.
I never mentioned the special thing about the 2,000-5. You can imagine her as a superpower with healing ability. Maybe she used her own ability to heal Weize's injuries. Maybe she disappeared into the universe after Weize's death. After several years, she came back to avenge Weize and wanted to destroy the entire human world with her own power. At this time, someone stood up to oppose her. Maybe Levi found her and replaced Weize and continued to resist the Deluo Group...
But these are not stories about interstellar white rabbit candy. At the end of this story, I think even if nothing happened, it was not that bad for Weize. He just won the most awesome one in his life on a wasteland. He killed a full-level boss, snatched the boss's spaceship, listened to his favorite old songs, and embarked on a journey with his daughter. On the other side, there was a woman he loved running towards him thousands of miles.
