Accumulate feathers sink the boat

For the first time in his life, Gong Yu was bored with work.

Just a little bit, just a little bit, 10 minutes, or even less than 10 minutes, he only needs to listen to the last knowledge point, and then he can stop Lu Xiangzhou on the podium in a grand manner after class , said that Mr. Lu's class was very good, but there are a few minor issues that need to be discussed again.In this way, not only could Lu Xiangzhou not send him away, but he had to politely ask for advice in front of the students.Then he can properly apologize to Lu Xiangzhou in the classroom, saying oops, I was wrong, I was really busy during this period of time, I will pay attention to adjusting the working hours in the future, I don’t know if this is divorced, It was only after I got divorced that I realized that I really couldn't live without Teacher Lu.

How nice, low-key, tender and touching, it's impossible for Lu Xiangzhou not to be soft-hearted.But, but.

"Xiao Li, let me tell you, let Zhang Xiao and the others handle all the big things today, don't go to the director if you have nothing to do. Is this department going to be closed when I'm not on duty?!"

"Oh, come on, I wasn't the one who wanted to find you last week. It was Marshal Wang who issued the order himself. How dare I refuse?"

Gong Yu was really convinced. Back then, he worked together and spent a lot of money to dig this Bodhisattva from Provincial Women and Children. He wanted him to help set up a department, but what did he do?Apart from tricking Gong Yu back from Germany, he had never done anything serious. If you say that Marshal Wang is more suitable for the personnel department, it is a shame to come to the obstetrics and gynecology department!

"Stop talking nonsense, he's not here today, you don't want to fool me back!"

"Oh my dear brother, I know, today is the decisive moment of your marriage defense battle, let alone Wang Dashuai, I will not call you when the dean comes. You can go at ease, you will lose your job in the worst case. You don't care!"

"Me!" Gong Yu waved her fist, looking as if she was about to hit Xiao Li, but before her hands reached the person, Xiao Li ran away in grief, and the whole corridor was filled with her artificial exclamation: " Terrible, office bullying, workplace PUA, life can't go on~~~"

It's true, I don't know if this behavior should be regarded as medical trouble, or touching porcelain.Gong Yu shook his head, took off his white coat and walked out of the office.

At 2:20 p.m., Quanlin Normal University Deren Building 3-2, Gong Yu, who left in a hurry last week, returned to his old seat carefully selected - the corner of the penultimate row against the wall.But this time he came clearly prepared. Not only did he bring a notebook and a pen in a decent manner, but he even changed his clothes to be more beautiful. A floral shirt and straight-leg trousers, combined with Lu Xiangzhou's outfit last week, anyone After seeing it, I have to say a good match.

But he underestimated Lu Xiangzhou's preference for dressing and styling. Today, Teacher Lu changed from the coquettish style last week and took an innocent route.A light-yellow knitted sweater was covered over a white stand-up collar shirt. The snow-white collar and cuffs were ironed, and a small edge was slightly exposed from the knitted sweater, looking refreshing and natural.There is no logo on the knitted sweater, just a piece of yellow, saying that there is as much spring as there is spring.The lower body was changed into a pair of light-colored jeans, the trousers were rolled up, and the white ankles were still dazzling.Gong Yu had never seen the thick-soled sneakers before, and they were probably new ones.

Hey, still in the mood to buy new shoes, it seems to be doing well.Gong Yu smacked his lips, thinking that a good life is a good thing,

When Lu Xiangzhou is in a good mood, he can handle things more easily, but there is no good fruit for hitting the gun.

"Okay, last week we talked about Hardy and Flaubert. Although the two people belonged to a slightly different historical era and the development background of the country is also different, they both stood on their own standpoints and created two immortal novels. I hope you all took the time to read it after class, and I hope you have thought about the issues reflected in it seriously. How to eliminate gender stereotypes, how to change the unequal treatment of the sexes, this Society needs you to give better answers and better solutions."

The glasses were changed too, Gong Yu bit the cap of his pen and thought foolishly.In order to match the clothes, Lu Xiangzhou wore a pair of silver-rimmed round glasses today. This person's brows and eyes were originally deserted, but after being modified by the round glasses, there was an inexplicable innocence. The whole person looked several years younger. Some people may believe that young teachers who have just started teaching.Why don't you just give him a new platform after remarrying? Gong Yu secretly made a decision. Anyway, there is still space in the cloakroom. Let's set up a new platform for Mr. Lu to put glasses on and display all his fancy intestines. Isn't this more tasteful than the island used by others to display belts and watches?

"The two writers I want to introduce to you today still come from two different countries, and their creative styles are completely opposite, but they have a big common feature worthy of our deep thinking and exploration. Everyone should be familiar with the first writer. He has attracted worldwide attention because he created the "Encyclopedia of Capitalism". A French historian once said that if you want to understand the history of France in the middle of the 19th century, you don't need to read history books, philosophy books, or sociology. However, you must read this person’s works, because the descriptions are rich in content, the facts are revealed profoundly, and the fields covered are the most extensive in all disciplines at that time. Then, who is the author I’m talking about?”

Are there such writers in the world?Gong Yu was surprised, in fact, since he listened to Lu Xiangzhou most of the class last time, he had already had some big or small doubts.

For example, do these deep meanings in literary works really exist, or are they just added by readers?Lu Xiangzhou's extremely emotional explanations always made him a little dazed, and he felt that it seemed true, but it didn't seem so true.For example, is the purpose of these long and short novels to entertain the public, or to educate the public?Gong Yu had always thought that writers of novels were moaning without ailments, praising love one day, and killing your mother's love the next, it was of no use except to reverse black and white and indulge in pleasure.But the last time I heard what Lu Xiangzhou said about Mrs. Bread?It felt like it was more than that.There is another question, which is also the most important question, that is, can literature have any substantive effect on individuals and even society?If so, how and from where?if you can't...

It's not like it's impossible at all.Gong Yu thought about the person Lu Xiangzhou said wrote the "Encyclopedia of Capitalism", and imagined that such a person and such a work could contribute to society to some extent.

"Balzac!"

"Old bus!"

The students' answering questions one after another interrupted Gong Yu's thoughts.Oh, it turned out to be Balzac. He is too familiar with this person. The black and thin Chinese teacher in high school couldn't wait to put these four words directly into the minds of his classmates. Yes, it annoyed him.If he had known that this person was so powerful, he might have been interested in reading that book that he hadn't opened much except in class.

"By the way, it is Balzac. This name should be regarded as a thunderous name, right? After all, his works have appeared in your compulsory reading lists in primary and middle schools since childhood. But I have a question. You have underestimated so much Balzac. Zack's book, ever wondered which of his books became the 'Encyclopedia of Capitalism'?"

As soon as this question came out, the classroom that was still very irritable just now suddenly fell silent. The students looked at each other in blank dismay. It was obvious that no one had thought about this question.

"Actually, it's not that one of his books is called the 'Encyclopedia of Capitalism', but more than 90 books created by Balzac in his life are all 'Encyclopedias of Capitalism', these books are called "Encyclopedia of Capitalism" by us collectively referred to as "Human Comedy."

"Oh, that's right, I seem to have seen it in the preface of some book!"

"It turns out that "Human Comedy" is not the title of a book. I thought it was also a book written by Balzac."

"Then "Old Man Goriot" and "The Abandoned Woman" are also books in "Human Comedy"?"

"Yes, "Old Man Goriot", "The Abandoned Woman", and the familiar "Eugenie Grandet", "Interdiction", "Uncle Bangs", etc., are all "Human Comedy" All the works in the book add up to more than 2000 characters. Lao Ba said that he wants to "complete a work describing France in the 19th century, connect these works and adjust them into a complete history, each of which Each chapter is a novel, and each novel describes an era. "He really did it. The shock brought to the world by "Human Comedy" has been faded for a long time today, and I believe it will continue to shine in the future." Secretary of his contemporaries', this is Balzac's positioning of himself."

It's astonishing and touching.Gong Yu thought about it, and felt that he should give this evaluation.

It turned out that when he was in Chinese class, the teachers would always think "what social background is described in this article" and "what thoughts and feelings are expressed in this passage", and he always felt that this was all nonsense.Because it is difficult to describe society and history in just a few words, and thoughts and emotions are too personal and subjective, so there is really no need to learn.But this set of books by Balzac is different, with more than 90 volumes and more than 2000 characters, it is indeed enough to support a society.And the emotions in it...Since Balzac said that he wanted to be the secretary of his contemporaries, the emotions in this set of books should not be completely personal, but more general, more objective, and more meaningful. era value.

Gong Yu looked at Lu Xiangzhou who was at ease on the podium, and felt truly proud for the first time. He was proud that this person had acquired more valuable knowledge than he imagined in a field he didn't know, and he was also proud that he could pass this knowledge on so clearly and naturally to others. Stupid students.So he was not a useless scholar, he knocked on the table subconsciously, as an apology for his unobjective evaluation of Lu Xiangzhou in the past.

"I find that everyone is admiring, but in fact, you may not have a clear understanding of the creation of more than 90 books in your life." Lu Xiangzhou, who was half leaning on the podium, looked relaxed and looked into the distance, as if attracted by something, But in fact, he was just thinking. After all, the world beyond the fifth row was nothingness to him.

"What is the concept of more than 90 books? Today we have a lot of online novelists, those who are very prolific, with five or six thousand words a day is already very remarkable. Take this part of the writers, if there is no rest throughout the year, a year

I can write three or four books at most.It will take at least 90 years to complete more than 30 novels.However, Balzac has created more than 20 books in just over 90 years, all of which are at the level of world famous novels. It is conceivable how amazing his workload and creativity are. This level may be unmatched in the world. Can't find the second one. "

"Then won't he be tired? Does he have to work long hours every day?"

"Why are there so many inspirations? Is this person a genius?"

The curiosity and amazement of the students overwhelmed Lu Xiangzhou's voice, and it took him a long time to gesture gestures before finally bringing the classroom back to calm.

"It will be tiring, and it's not a genius. Balzac was able to complete "Human Comedy" because he was desperate. He likes to work after 10 pm, and the working hours are usually 12 to 14 hours. In order to ensure uninterrupted thinking, He couldn’t stop and rest in the middle, and he had to create without interruption until he was exhausted. So he needed coffee to keep his life alive. The coffee Balzac drank was his own blend of three kinds of extremely bitter coffee beans. Everyone has drank coffee more or less. No matter how pure the coffee we drink every day, it is actually flavored with sugar, milk, or other spices, because few people can bear the bitterness of pure strong black coffee. However, in order to persist in creation, Balzac drank more than 5 cups of special black coffee without sugar and milk in his life, and he drank about 7 cups a day on average. Long-term irregular work and rest and a large amount of sexual erosion caused the old man to suffer from Suffered from a very serious heart attack, and finally died of physical and mental exhaustion."

Ho!At this moment, Gong Yu believed that the students felt the same shock as he did. A writer,

To record the voice of the era at the expense of the individual to such an extent.He suddenly thought of Sima Qian, that ancient man who also dedicated himself to recording history, so Balzac could be regarded as Sima Qian of France, right?This question is very important, he scribbled it down in his notebook, thinking that he could ask Lu Xiangzhou for advice when he stopped being angry.

"Okay, this is Balzac and his "Human Comedy", but the story is not finished yet, the real climax will take a while. Before that, I want to talk to you about another writer."

Um?I have dedicated my life to my ideals and died. Isn't this a climax?Gong Yu's writing pen suddenly paused, he was immersed in the topic that Lu Xiangzhou had opened, and he didn't realize at this moment that he was no longer the calm and meticulous chief surgeon on the operating table, but a man with a deep understanding of literature and history. A deeply addicted guest in the play.

Many changes often occur in the unknown.
