Arrival (aka "the Story of Your Life")

About This Novel
The original novel of the movie "Arrival" is a unique book in the science fiction world. In order to get closer to God, humans cut down wood and burned bricks, pulled carts and built towers. After countless generations of hard work, they finally built a majestic Tower of Babel that stands between heaven and earth. With just a small bottle of potion, you can have superhuman intelligence. This temptation is irresistible. It's a pity that there is more than one Superman. After the soul-stirring Superman showdown, he realized the ultimate wisdom. Dividing any number by zero will never give a meaningful result. What is the result if the relationship between two people is divided by zero? In a world where "names drive everything", nomenclators play with the seventy-two letters to find the code for the reproduction of the human race. When all human scientific research is limited to interpreting post-human scientific research results, is this kind of research still necessary? The wife dies while an angel descends to earth, but the husband must learn how to love God in order to be reunited with his wife after death.

I just watched the movie in the cinema. The editing and narration were awesome. The fragments of information from the future entangled the heroine like a dream, but the heroine was unable to determine the meaning of the information. As a result, she was in a trance and lived very tiredly. After finally learning the alien language of space and time, he finally understood it all and accepted it all. The whole novel involves a thought. If you see fragments of the future, you know that it is likely to happen. Even if the fragments of the future show bad information, will you still move forward according to such a future? Then, can the future be changed?
Only the first chapter is Advent!
I actually read the first chapter and thought that the whole book was a science fiction story. However, after I paid for it and read it, I found out that it was a collection of stories. ? Black question mark❓
I just watched the movie yesterday and read the novel again today...
If I hadn't seen this name when the movie ended yesterday, I really wouldn't have known that it was adapted from a novel... I didn't read the novel, I just read the introduction to the novel, and I always felt that what I watched yesterday was not a movie! I went to see it with my brother. I missed the first ten minutes of the movie. I started directly when the heroine and a group of people were invited to communicate with aliens. The heroine and the group of people couldn't communicate with the aliens. Suddenly I thought of written language, and then succeeded! So later on you will see the aliens drawing circles on the glass until the end of the movie... Of course the ending is about the heroine saving the world... Alien movies, and they are set on the earth, always have political overtones. I saw the heroine find a phone to call a Chinese business general at the end. Because she learned the alien language and has the power of prophecy, she knew about this private phone call and said his wife's last words in broken Chinese. The war brings not heroes, but orphans and widows... What the hell? ! Finally, I really knew that there was a male protagonist, a mathematician who came with the female protagonist? ! ... I woke up my brother after the movie, yes, my brother fell asleep... I was so tired. When I complained to my brother that this was a dark Chinese movie, he didn't respond because I couldn't hold on when the heroine was communicating with the aliens. By the way, the communication lasted for more than half of the movie... Then China and Russia closed off contact with other countries, and first proposed to kill the aliens! Of course, the aliens here are good and bring gifts to humans, which is the ability to predict. The whole world has translated the gifts into weapons... So, well, on the importance of communication...
Dreams should not be made too beautiful, as they are too beautiful to be realized; words should not be said too fully, as they are too full to be tactful; the tone should not be set too high, as it is difficult to harmonize; things should not be done too far, as it is difficult to move forward or retreat; feelings should not be sunk in too deeply, as they are too deep to be extricated; benefits should not be taken too seriously, as they are too heavy to be clear-minded; people cannot be too fake, as they are difficult to communicate; the world cannot be seen too clearly, and it is difficult to act if it is too clear.
Did you come there to watch? Is it a movie? Will it be broadcast on iQiyi?
I watched a movie a few days ago. As a girl, I'm actually not very fond of science fiction movies, but this one is very good. I recommend you to watch it.
What's interesting is that this book answered a question for me, how did different languages communicate and translate in the first place. Mastering this is also a life skill😑
"I don't think they can do it. To learn human language, they need teaching materials, and they must be teaching materials specially designed to teach human language to non-human members. With these materials, they can learn a lot of things from TV. Otherwise, it won't work. They lack a starting point and a foothold."
I didn't understand the first story until the end of the first eight chapters. But the story is really scary to think about. . . This is a great book!
Even with all the sadness I foresee, I am still willing to go!
