About This Novel
At the age of twenty-four, math genius Rong Jinzhen was picked up from home by a jeep. He didn't know that his life had been irreversibly connected to the mysterious and cruel cryptography industry. More than a year later, the "Purple Secret" that had been troubled for more than 701 years was solved. The 25-year-old Rong Jinzhen created a miracle and became a national hero. Soon, "Black Secret" appeared. Under huge expectations and spiritual crisis, Rong Jinzhen completed the ninety-nine steps in just two years... The Mai family started with the Rong family, a salt merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, interweaving the narrative from the perspective of interview transcripts, and buried several secret doors of reversal in the narration, opening up the dual decryption of intelligence and human nature: the life of a top brainpower, the legendary page of a "genius family", and the vicissitudes of a land.

Password – Comment on "Decryption"
The Mai family will assign this "I" a character that is real, has its own characteristics and personal wishes, so that through the hands of this "I", either record or tell, the stories surrounding the protagonists can be pieced together and presented to the readers. This storytelling technique has a certain sense of reading experience and real experience. You will feel the real experience that is "orally" conveyed in the work. For example, in "The Sea of Life", "I" tells the story of the colonel's life, "Decryption" also tells the legend of Rong Jinzhen through "I", the little reporter. The story starts from the perspective of "I", a young reporter, and tells the game between mathematical geniuses. Rong Jinzhen is a genius with a unique talent for mathematics. Because of his talent, he was placed on a battlefield where gunpowder could not be seen, and participated in deciphering characters. When other comrades were tortured to the point of being exhausted mentally and physically by the purple secret, he used his own special way to unlock the purple secret. The moment he unlocked the purple secret, his life was also locked in layers of "codes" like layers of fog. He unlocked a code, but behind it appeared a layer of codes that were more difficult to crack and more labor-intensive. While he was decrypting, he was unable to unlock the lock of his life. He cleared the fog again and again, but fell into the abyss and was drowned again and again. In this sinking where he was given hope but was broken again and again, he was driven crazy. He was hailed as a genius because of his talent in mathematics, and he became a madman because of his talent in mathematics. It can be said that "Decryption" is a game between one genius and another genius, just like I watched "Death Note". It is a battle between two geniuses. Whoever is slightly less capable will lose miserably in this game, and Rong Jinzhen is the one who loses miserably. His story ended in tragedy in the mouth of the young reporter, which is really regrettable, but at the same time, it is regrettable and can read some "predictions" from the book. Rong Jinzhen is a paranoid person, paranoid about the diary that she can't understand, and paranoid about the powerful opponent Xiez. Being too paranoid and persistent will often hurt yourself. There is a saying that "an umbrella becomes a burden if held up for a long time." Rong Jinzhen drove herself crazy by holding on to that umbrella of burden. The title of the book "Decryption", in my opinion, has two meanings. One is the game between the protagonists' geniuses, who set limits on each other to decipher the most complex and difficult codes set by each other; the other is about the interpretation of the codes of life. These protagonists control the highest IQ, but are unable to decipher their own destiny, and their destiny is interpreted by a young reporter who wanders in their circle. Although this book is a legendary and suspenseful novel, it is engraved with humanistic color and some thoughts about destiny under the legend and suspense. Through the young reporter "I", I discover the pieced together truth. Although it has the "personal subjective color" of the young reporter, this is indeed the brilliance of the Mai family. Learning the truth of the story through the mouth of a third party is more authentic and readable. The characters, atmosphere, and plot created are all "essential elements" for the "decryption" of legendary novels. The focus and flaws of geniuses often make them unable to be understood by the people around them, so they become crazy in the eyes of others. In "Decryption", the Mai family proved that "geniuses are on the left and madmen are on the right" may not be a false proposition. Genius and madness seem to be highly opposite poles, but they can intersect at infinite distance. They are the "two sides" of the Möbius strip - actually the same side, the difference is only in the perspective of the observer. Madmen are fearless because they don't know what fear is; geniuses are also fearless because they have good teeth and a hard heart, and everything that is scary will be bitten off by their sharp teeth or opened by a hard heart. Human beings are the most profound codes in the world. In the book, Rong Jinzhen is able to decipher the most complex codes, but is stumped by people's hearts. As a writer, while deciphering the code of words, Mai Jia is exploring and approaching the most profound code of "people" in his own way, using words to tap into people's hearts and listen to the echoes.
Jin Zhen, a lonely and fragile genius
"Secrets are hidden in dreams, just like geniuses always fall in the rain." .
I feel somewhat sorry for the rough life of the protagonist Rong Jinzhen... He is indeed a genius rarely seen in a thousand years. It can almost be said that he has cracked the two high-level codes of "Purple Secret" and "Black Secret". The enigmatic password did not scare him, but an ordinary thief forced him to become a madman. Genius on the left, madman on the right.
He is also a wizard!
What? You said you don't believe that people who are slow to react and look silly can be geniuses, and you think I'm making a fool of myself? ! No no no, if you think so, you are totally wrong. Based on my character, this is definitely an interesting story. Did you know that in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Country At this time, a group of young people with outstanding talents and agility must come to save the fallen country. Don't just look at his face to judge whether he is good or not, because today our protagonist, Rong Jinzhen, is a guy who looks mediocre but has an extremely high IQ. He is relatively naive and slow to respond, but no one can deny his intelligence, especially in the aspect of "mathematics". Once upon a time, Section Chief Liu of the Decryption Department went crazy trying to decipher the "Purple Secret", and even geniuses from all over the country could not decipher it. But Rong Jinzhen, a "kid" who didn't even know how to wash her own underpants, got rid of it. Be shocked! Awesome! I couldn't believe it, it turned out that he was also a hidden genius! Are there any people around you who look ugly but hide their secrets?
Why can't I watch this TV?
Collected first.
I thought it was originally a good book, and it was about a spy war, but it was beaten to pieces by Chen Xuedong. I liked his face, but I didn't appreciate his cold acting skills.
Reminds me of Rong Datou, he was portrayed so silly in the TV series
Ii/i! : One by one
It's been a long time since I've seen a book that can attract me to read even if I don't sleep.
