Accumulate feathers sink the boat

"The heroine of the second story is called □□Ma, and the person who created her is the famous French writer Flaubert." Lu Xiangzhou paused with a smile after finishing this sentence, "I found that many students had blank expressions on their faces. Look, it seems that I don’t know Flaubert very well. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know Flaubert, but you must know his students—the famous Maupassant.”

"Oh, Maupassant, I know I know!"

"The one who wrote Ball-of-Fat."

"The Necklace was also written by him."

Gong Yu finally heard something he was familiar with. Not only did he jump out of the embarrassment he felt at the beginning, but he even felt a little proud. He felt that although he had bid farewell to Chinese after the college entrance examination, he suddenly listened to professional courses and didn’t know anything. I feel that it is very difficult. It seems that Chinese is really a zero-threshold thing.

"Yes, one of the world's three major short story writers. You should have studied his novels. They are included in Chinese textbooks for junior and senior high schools. But how much de Maupassant has learned from his teacher, I think only one-third of them are dead One, one-third of it counts as being very polite to him."

no?Gong Yu was puzzled. Maupassant was so famous that even a layman like him had heard of it. How could his teacher be so powerful and he knew nothing about it?

"You must be wondering why ordinary students are so famous, but super-powerful teachers are rarely known." Lu Xiangzhou seemed to see through Gong Yu's mind, and poured out his buried words, "Because The works created by Flaubert are very limited. He worked 8 hours a day and insisted on writing for more than 20 years, but only published 5 works, which is equivalent to writing a book in four or five years. The reason why I say Flaubert’s writing level Far surpassing Maupassant, it is because he has achieved the ultimate in slow work and careful work. Not only the words are precise and beautiful, but he can even make every word he writes irreplaceable, and every description he uses is Optimal solution. If Li Bai and Du Fu are the masters of using Chinese, then Flaubert must be the master of using French, he is absolutely beautiful and invincible.”

Absolutely beautiful, invincible.Gong Yu was unconsciously attracted by Lu Xiangzhou's exaggerated words. He knew that Lu Xiangzhou must be exaggerating, but this kind of exaggeration was inexplicably fascinating. Even if he didn't know Flaubert and Lu Xiangzhou didn't understand French, this kind of voice The description of both emotions is hard not to believe.

Emotional atmosphere, Gong Yu suddenly thought of this word, and Lu Xiangzhou used words to exaggerate a very appropriate emotional atmosphere, which made him and all the students addicted to it.

"So let's take a look at the difference between Emma and Tess described by this great writer. Emma was born in a fairly well-off bourgeois family, and she has a father who loves herself very much. This father She did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to send Emma to study in the best monastery in the city. So what did Emma learn in this kind of school? She learned fantasy. She did not study in the boring way in the church. It is St. Pierre, it is Scott, ranging from tenderness to enthusiasm. She is a female red, embroidering flowers, clouds, and a beautiful world in her imagination. She adorns herself with bright colors. She also sang, sang about love, sang about a lover who never existed, sometimes happy, sometimes sad, and the song became her weapon to relieve her emotions.”

Isn't that hypocritical?Gong Yu thought to himself, reading poems, embroidery, and singing are all standard for literary youths, and literary youths are hypocritical spokespersons, just like... just like Lu Xiangzhou who is standing on the podium and talking loudly at the moment—except that he can't embroider and sing.

"It's just such a girl, but she was betrothed to Bovary by her loving father. Who is Bovary? He is a country doctor. First of all, he is a doctor. Doctors are still rich, at least they belong to the upper middle class. class, but he is a country doctor who specializes in treating bruises, you guys, does this kind of disease sound a little dirty when you hear it?"

"Hahaha yes, I think it's still a surgeon's style."

"A dentist is fine too, and a dentist pays a lot!"

The students began to digress from the topic again. They talked about the income status of various fields of medicine. Gong Yu was inconvenient to speak because of his status as a pseudo-inspector, otherwise he really wanted to correct the ideological concepts of these students and tell them There is no distinction between high and low in seeing a doctor and saving lives, and every disease is worthy of respect.

"Okay, okay, no matter which one has more money, it's just that Emma doesn't like this Bovary. Because he has lived in the country for a long time, he doesn't have the romantic temperament that Emma likes. Body odor and foot odor, sleeping without taking off your shoes, taking off your shoes without taking off your socks. In short, it’s terrible, constantly jumping around in Emma’s restricted area.”

These are some kind of messy descriptions, Gong Yu laughed again, he couldn't count the number of times he had been teased by Lu Xiangzhou in this class, if Lu Xiangzhou was at home with such a level of speaking, the two of them would be at odds with each other every day, life and death ?

"So even if Bovary is really good to Emma, ​​good to Emma with all his heart, Emma still doesn't like him. She has tried hard, thinking that she should be like all other housewives to take care of her husband and children, She even endured the nausea and gave birth to a daughter for Bovary. But after a long time, she still felt that she really couldn't stand it, so she started cheating."

As soon as the word cheating came out, the whole classroom suddenly boiled up.With Gong Yu as the center of the circle, everyone around is making evaluations from their own perspectives, sharp, angry, and tactful. The genders have reached an unprecedented unity. The little Omega girls who were dissatisfied also joined the camp of accusing Emma.

"You can probably guess the rest of the story. Emma cheated and used up all of Bovary's family property to hang out with all kinds of men she thought were romantic, until finally she was in debt and committed suicide to apologize. This is Emma's tragedy. A woman with Tess A very different tragedy."

"Okay," Lu Xiangzhou took out his left hand that had been stuck in his trouser pocket, and made a silent gesture to the students, "The story is over, I want to ask you a question, the two girls I just mentioned, Who do you like more?"

"Tess!"

"No one likes it!"

The students had everything to say, Gong Yu stared at Lu Xiangzhou, wondering what the meaning of this question was.

"I like Emma, ​​I like her very much. I have been deeply fascinated by her for countless days and nights." Lu Xiangzhou's gentle voice came clearly from the podium, and all the students who participated in the discussion just now stared wide-eyed, not understanding this usual demeanor Why would my teacher say such unreasonable things.

"Although I don't quite approve of some of her actions and choices, such as derailment, such as deceit. But, as Flaubert said in the book, 'She loves the sea and only loves the stormy waves of the sea, loves the grass only loves the grass growing in ruins Between. ——Because of her sensitive nature, she is far above her artistic interests, so what she is looking for is emotion, not scenery. 'Emma is the closest girl I have ever seen to love."

What? !Gong Yu almost thought that he heard it wrong, the closest to love?Can this kind of evaluation be applied to a cheating woman?What values ​​is Lu Xiangzhou conveying to the students?Fortunately, he is not a school supervisor. If he is really a school supervisor, can Lu Xiangzhou continue this class?

"Yes, love. Students, I hope you will recall the emotional journey when you fell in love with someone. I believe that everyone has a set of standards for their future lover, such as tall, good figure, gentle personality, etc. But please seriously recall, does the person you really like fully meet your standards?"

"It's not like that in some places."

"Half and half."

"Eight poles cannot be struck together."

"Yes, it doesn't match, it's different, and sometimes it's even the opposite. But why? Have you thought about it?" Lu Xiangzhou shook his head in the blank eyes of the students, "Because love has never been a set of standards, a thing, It comes from feeling. You like a person who brings you breakfast every day, not because the behavior of delivering breakfast is pleasing, otherwise you should like a delivery person, what you really like is actually delivered with breakfast That warmth. Similarly, what you guys like is not a person who speaks humorously, otherwise a cross talk actor will win the hearts of all girls. What you really like is the relaxed atmosphere that suddenly rises in the air when that person speaks, as if all the sadness Fade away, even if it was just a simple hello and goodbye."

"Students, what Emma pursues is true love. She is not greedy for fame and fortune, nor is she vain. She knew from the very beginning that what she wanted was just a feeling, a romantic feeling, And that's what love feels like. This girl has made so many bad decisions, and ended up ruining her own life that should have been smooth, but she has worked so hard to get close to love, and this effort can almost illuminate everyone in the world. She is the bravest girl I have ever heard of, the unwillingness of a person who walks alone in the hesitation of love."

The entire classroom was silent, and no one knew what kind of emotions should be released in such an interpretation.Gong Yu didn't know either, he couldn't even judge whether what Lu Xiangzhou said was right or wrong, but he felt vaguely dangerous and worried, and felt that such remarks should not appear in class.But why it shouldn't, he couldn't say.

"Not only that, but the most fascinating part of the book "Madame Bovary" is actually an interview after Flaubert. After the book was published, all walks of life criticized Emma fiercely, thinking that she was not a woman. , ruining the atmosphere, so someone interviewed Flaubert and asked him if he wanted to use the role of Emma to criticize some women in the current society. But Flaubert was surprised by this, and he said, "Actually, if I can, I would like to become Emma.'”

"Students, I don't know if you have noticed that almost all male writers praise women in their works, and they have three qualities: purity, kindness, and beauty. Recall the classics you have read, "Paris Esmeralda in Notre Dame, Fantine in Les Miserables, Lucy in A Tale of Two Cities, Eugenie in Eugenie Grandet, and Tess we just mentioned , etc. Are all females almost molds with a different name? At most, there are some ingenious differences in personality and experience. Why is this? Because the past males and the current Alphas almost only recognize These three qualities of female beauty, I also think that women only need to have these three qualities. What is independence? What is personality? They don’t care. For this part of strong gender, only docile and obedient lambs are The most likable. But Flaubert is not, Emma is not, a literary giant, created such a deviant girl, but dared to say in a public interview that he wanted to be her, can you imagine how this is What kind of spirit?"

Shouts of exclamation gathered from every corner of the classroom to the podium.The students woke up from the criticism of Emma just now. They exchanged their experiences with each other and carefully recalled all the female characters they had seen in the book. Some covered their mouths and shouted, some shook their heads frantically, and some He couldn't help but let out a "tsk tsk" exclamation.Gong Yu also felt his scalp tingling, he had never read the book, so he didn't know what kind of situation it described in the book, but if this Flaubert was really like what Lu Xiangzhou described, then he felt that this person was probably a Crazy, a complete lunatic.

"Many men claim to love women, but what is real love? I think it is understanding and respect." At this time, Lu Xiangzhou regained the ease at the beginning of the class, and even felt a little indescribable joy, "It can't be sympathy, It can't be pity either. Those are high-level emotions, which are not what a lover should have. True love should have empathy, and we must actually stand in the lover's perspective and consider from their perspective and psychology. So in such a Among the male writers who claim to love women, I think only Flaubert really loves to the core, because only he understands that women's pursuit of love is often based on a feeling, and he respects and even worships this feeling, really. It's too gentle."

It's so gentle.

The shock brought to Gong Yu by this moment can almost pull his soul out of his body. He is so familiar with this passage, this tone, and these viewpoints, but can this kind of discussion be used on people who love each other?Should it be used on someone who loves each other?Gong Yu didn't know, he couldn't even think, Lu Xiangzhou created a storm in his heart in just one class, he suddenly felt——

"Uuuuuu-"

The mobile phone, which was set to vibrate, was trembling crazily in his trouser pocket. Gong Yu buried his head and covered the microphone and quickly pressed the connection: "Hello? Boss, come back quickly! The patient in bed 28 suddenly had a hemorrhage. Dashuai Wang suspects amniotic fluid embolism, so you should hurry up." Come back and preside over the operation!"

The author has something to say:

So why did Lu Xiangzhou fall in love with Gong Yu, did everyone see it?

ps: The book is "Madame Bovary"
