Is sensibility what people need? Are wisdom and self linked? When the brain can process more information, but the sensibility cannot understand it, in order to reconcile the conflict between sensibility and rationality, a mask system that cuts off part of the brain's functions appears. But whether it is good or bad, no one knows the answer.
Chen Qingjue, a policeman who can switch mask mode, had an accident during a routine inspection, resulting in the disappearance of trainee policeman Pu Youzhi. Due to his mood swings, he had to suspend work and seek medical treatment. However, he learned about the anti-mask system during a party with netizens. Chen Qingjue, who lives a lonely life, what choice should he make in the face of unhappiness and responsibility? Where should he go between sensibility and rationality?
What secrets are hidden behind the mask? Does it shackle human nature or release human potential?
Reader comments
After reading the physical version of this book (a story in the novel collection "Mirror Lovers"), I felt very shocked. The background setting is rich and imaginative. People have high IQs, but they need "masks" to suppress their over-developed emotions.
The plot of this book cannot be summarized clearly in a few words. There are many foreshadowings, contradictions, and the thoughts and emotions conveyed in it can only be felt by reading it yourself. Although the book is short, it feels like a lot has been written. This is not an online novel.
Is the truth cruel? Is the truth needed? This is my question after reading this book. Do people need the truth or a world with a beautiful appearance? Also, are the emotions brought about by hormones necessarily false? I don't think so. This is where the author and I have different views.
But, the book says: "A mature civilization, a mature race, after recognizing the nature of the world, still loves it." "Only when people are knocked down by people, things, and things that they love and believe in, can they voluntarily cleanse the past and embrace a new future." Hahaha, so I wonder if the former director Wang Qiang has also experienced being deceived by emotions like this, and whether Chen Qingjue was deceived, and it was just an arranged test for him.
This book reminded me of many people in life, who may all wear masks to hide their true emotions. The author's writing is very vivid and the plot is very compact, which makes me want to keep reading to find out what secrets are hidden behind the mask. I think this book is very suitable for new mothers like me, who can think about some issues about human nature and life while taking care of their children.
