Reader comments
The story has a familiar feel, and if you think about it, characters are actually labels for people. Click on an app, and many will let you choose some of your tags: love sports, are born in the 90s, love traveling, mature, cute, like fantasy, like cross talk, introverted... They are all designed to accurately capture some of your hobbies and thoughts, push you what you want to see, understand you, and then control you. It doesn't require you to have too many choices, and it also gives you less choices to see more things. Is this a good or bad thing for you? Some people in the book couldn't bear the pressure and went to death. Before ending their lives, they still cared about them. The words "I miss you" made me cry. Some people understood how unworthy it was to sacrifice so much and lose the most important person. Now she has looked away, lives a dull life, and strides forward on the road of her life. Speaking of this, I actually have to thank those strangers and friends who appear in life to protect you, support you, and love you (that netizen named Xiaoxingxing); some people have gained love and a small life. The small life is called life. I don't know whether the surname is Qi or not. What if someone takes their mother's surname? Life is like this. Little people have the happiness of the little people, and the big people have the sorrows of the big people. You don't need to give yourself too many labels. You are life. You only have one life. You have the final say on how to go and where to go. Come on, stranger
Everyone has different experiences and wears different masks. Under the mask is you, and outside the mask is you packaged by personality. If you are willing to take off this mask, it means that you dare to live your life. I am just a reader, and this book inspired me a lot. Because his mind is too simple, he is easily deceived, but he was not deceived, maybe because he is kind. After reading this book, I realized that there is always a dark side in this society. Fortunately, I only saw this side in books. Thanks to this book for letting me know this, I will protect myself better in the future, and then pass on kindness to everyone.
Highly recommended.
This book comprehensively shows us the process of different people's personalities from their initial popularity to their collapse. In fact, we all wear a mask in life. We play different roles in front of different people and places. We are always affected by different people and different environments. Over time, we often lose ourselves and lose ourselves. When we calm down, for example, alone or with a listener by our side, eating what we like, feeling the caress of the evening breeze, and telling all our past, without needing sympathy or comfort, just being listened to quietly, perhaps at that time we are our truest selves.
I hope that each of us can take off the "mask" of running around for life every day when we calm down, and hug ourselves.
Although the persona is dead, people are alive. I hope that each of us will have the courage to break the persona and see a more wonderful world. Of course, the persona can not only be broken, but also can be added. As long as it is not assimilated by the persona, only we are us. The persona is born from people. As long as you and I think about it, there is nothing to be afraid of. As long as you and I have the courage, no matter what the persona is, people have to live and live out themselves. People are people first, and then there is nothing else. We should face up to our true selves and embrace ourselves. Moreover, the final right of interpretation belongs to you. All other people's opinions reflect others. Only your own opinions truly belong to you. [Blow kiss][Flow kiss][Flow kiss]
After reading it, my mood was very complicated, from calm at the beginning, to surprise, sadness, sympathy, and finally to touching and calm. So I calmly opened this book and finally finished it calmly. I have a lot of feelings, but after watching the ending, I feel more that it is not easy for everyone, so why don't we have no characters? Although people are changeable, the world will be better if you stick to your original intention. In short, I was lucky enough to come across this good book, which made my life a little bit exciting.
The CPU in my brain is working hard to load... I feel like some insights are passing by, but I have to wait until I have time to think about it again (this book is well written, but there is an ancient saying: It is better to have no books at all than to believe in books!)
Don't stick to the character, dare to break the character. Anyway, the time of people in this world is limited. It would be a pity not to do what you want to do in the limited time but for the sake of character, wouldn't it? Play your own killer like Wang Ziqi!
As for character design, I think everyone should treat it as a tool and not be limited to it. The "Ikkyu" in the article was limited by his character design, coupled with his own reasons, and finally gave up the hope of living, which really made people feel depressed and heartbroken. There is a sentence in the article that is particularly good. Personality is for others to see, but life is your own. It's not scary to have people's designs. What's scary is that people's designs limit the possibilities of life.
This novel scares me. I don't know why. Every time I see them suffering because of their "personality," I feel very uneasy. Maybe I've gone too deep into it and am worried that something like this will happen to me. But in order to live, "personality" is necessary. Under the layers of packaging, we can't even do it ourselves, which is a bit sad
This book is very real-life. It is difficult for us to be ourselves as we grow up. We always play the role of son, daughter, wife, husband, employee, boss, best friend, brother and other different people. With many responsibilities, it may only be in the dead of night that we can take off the mask and see our original selves, or the mask may become integrated with our bones and blood.
Things in the world are unpredictable, and celebrities are just ordinary people, but they have to live their lives as saints
You can't break away from your personality, your life is monitored, and you can't have a bad temper.
If you don't work hard, you will be replaced at any time.
I can only say that the pressure is huge and the salary is sky-high.
The end of the book uses first-person self-narration, which seems to be telling one's own story, but in essence is revealing life and showing the true reality. The characters in the book are you, me, and a true portrayal of each of us. Living under a mask will be painful and numb. Once you tie yourself with the shackles of a person, you will never know what you really want and how much potential you have in the future, and you will never be able to be your true self.
"Humans are animals that are good at forgetting."
I was particularly inspired. I don't know which paragraph I read, but suddenly my mind flashed and I thought of a sentence I wrote to myself before: Never forget who you are.
My child, if you have a skill, you don't have to rely on anyone else. You are your own queen.
Personality is really everywhere, imprisoning us everywhere. If we think about it carefully, do we really like a person or his personality? As long as we also have this personality, it doesn't matter whether we are him or not.
This book is really good. Although people live under a mask, the same people should also break through the mask and pursue the life they want. They should not just rely on it and give up everything for it just because they have worn the mask for a long time.
This book feels very realistic, but it seems that everyone has their own happy ending, except Shang Xin who became a firework, hey!
Quite a good book!
There are many personalities in a person's life
I like it very much. To put it simply, it is a human mask. Everyone plays their own role every day. Too many people ignore the real face under the mask.
22.2.26 This is the second book I have read by Teacher Long. The story is not long but it also shows some unknown secrets. Everyone has a personality. The best thing is to work hard to be yourself!
Personality is the cloak of a person's words and deeds, and is a stereotype. It should be understood that everything is subject to change.
Sometimes the hardest thing for people to accept is change.
The article is objective and logical.
This book is wonderful and worth reading again and again.
Very touching!
It's wonderful. I was shocked after reading the whole thing. Yes, it's really very personable.
Sad, that's all.
Very well written, good luck to the author,
Don't be bound by persona, embrace your true self.
Like a puppet on strings, you can't help yourself
Don't be assimilated by the world, be yourself.
Very good, opens up another side of human nature. Sad, what a pity.
It took me five hours to read this book in one sitting, and I had a lot of feelings.
