When the gods also begin to involute - why do I highly recommend "Anthology of Funny Meanings"? 1. An afternoon that made me laugh to tears and fall into deep thought. That afternoon, I just wanted to find something to kill time. As a result, I read three stories in one go. I laughed so much that I banged my head on the table, and I was still in a daze for a long time. The first article, Nian Beast is a self-media. Have you ever imagined it? The legendary Nian beast who was "afraid of the color red, fire, and loud noises" stood on an empty village road one day and waited all night but no one came to drive him away. Because - fireworks are prohibited in the village, and the couplets have been changed to electronic ones. Three thousand years of terrifying career, and I lost my job overnight. I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I saw the Nian beast squatting at the entrance of the village. The old man who got up at night thought it was "running away from some village." But when I smile, my nose becomes sore. Later, he transformed into a short video blogger, talking about Spring Festival customs, and his followers increased to 10 million. Some people questioned that he was not an expert and his speech was unprofessional. He posted a video at 3 a. M., Saying: "I am indeed not an expert, but I have been working in this industry for three thousand years. Three thousand years ago, you lit bonfires at the entrance of the village, and we hid in the mountains and watched secretly. Over the past three thousand years, your customs have changed, and our fears have also changed. But one thing has not changed - celebrating the New Year has always been the most important ritual in your hearts." Under that video, the number one hot comment was: "He is the Nian Beast." I don't know why, but my eyes got wet when I saw these four words. 2. When Stove Lord starts to write the rectification report. The second part is Stove Lord's performance appraisal. Heaven is undergoing reform. The kitchen princes can no longer squat on the stove and watch the fireworks on earth as they did before, and just go to heaven to report on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. Now we have to submit quarterly reports, fill in KPIs, and write rectification reports. The household registration rate, the awareness rate, the completeness rate of good and evil records, the timely reporting rate of violations... In order to complete the target, an old kitchen god began to secretly dream of making people quarrel - so that he would have "material" to report. Three points were deducted for every quarrel between husband and wife, 2 points for wasting food, and 10 points for hiding private money... He watched the family not speak for three days, the children were so frightened that they hid in the house, and the fire in the stove was not as strong as before. But his reports are really good-looking. Reading this, I couldn't stop laughing. Isn't this who we are? In order to achieve KPIs and avoid being eliminated from the bottom, how many things have we done to "make people quarrel through dreams"? I knew it was unreasonable, I knew it would hurt something, but I did it anyway. Because the system is there and the indicators are there. If you don't do this, you will be eliminated. Later, the Jade Emperor judged the Kitchen God and said something that I still remember today: "Your duty is not to supervise, to score, or to report. Your duty is to protect this home, this family, and this stove fire." I copied this sentence in my notebook. 3. Big data cannot calculate the beating heart. The third article, Yue Lao uses big data. Tianting has introduced a "big data matching system" that can match 10,000 marriage pairs in one second. Yue Lao's seven-thousand-year-old work of pulling the red thread by hand has been replaced by a computer. Three months after the system went online, the divorce rate in the mortal world soared by 300%. It's not that the system is inaccurate, it's just that it's too accurate. It matches people with similar conditions, matching personalities, and similar hobbies. But after these people get married, they find that "suitability" does not mean "love." One girl complained that the boy matched by the system was a mama's boy and kept calling his mother to ask her what he should eat when they met. The response from the Information Office was: "After verification, the boy's 'family concept index' is indeed high, but the system determined that he is a 'quality family man' and the matching result is valid." One boy complained that the girl matched by the system had violent tendencies and frequently said, "Men should listen to women." The reply was: "After verification, the girl's 'female power index' meets the system standards, and the matching results are valid." I looked at these "valid matches" and felt a chill go down my spine. Isn't this the "dating alienation" we are experiencing? They look at conditions, income, real estate, and academic qualifications, turning marriage into a data match, but forget to ask yourself: Am I happy with this person? Do I want to talk to him? Am I willing to have a fight with him and then make up? Yue Lao finally said: "The best marriage is never a 'match', but a 'run-in'." I thought of my grandparents who had been quarreling all their lives and getting better for eighty years. Their marriage, if calculated by big data, would probably fail. But they just lived a lifetime. 4. Why you must read this set of books After reading the three stories, I found one thing in common: they all use the most absurd settings to tell the most real life. The story of the Nian beast tells the story of the collision between tradition and the times. We always say that the flavor of the New Year is dull, but what exactly is the flavor of the New Year? Is it firecrackers, couplets, staying up late on New Year's Eve, or the intention of "being willing to do something specific with a specific person at this specific time"? The story of Kitchen God tells the game between system and human nature. We complain about KPIs, but aren't we ourselves alienated by KPIs? Have we done enough to create problems in order to meet the standards and undermine the original intention in order not to be eliminated? Yue Lao's story is about the battle between algorithms and emotions. Big data can calculate "suitability", but not "heartbeat"; it can recommend "optimal solution", but cannot recommend "I do". This set of books is called "Anthology of Funny Meanings", and the name sounds like the kind of collection of jokes you can flip through casually. But it is actually a mirror - using the absurdity of gods to reflect our own daily lives. It makes you laugh, because those settings are so fun - Nian Beast makes short videos, Kitchen God writes rectification reports, and Yue Lao makes big data matching, each one is so absurd that it makes people laugh. It makes you stunned, because with a smile, you suddenly realize - isn't this me? Isn't this our company? Isn't this the era? It makes you think because the story is over and the thinking has just begun. About tradition, about the workplace, about love, about everything we are going through. 5. Those words that have made me remember till now. Let me copy a few sentences that made me stunned: "For three thousand years, the relationship between us and human beings has never been a simple one of 'driving and being driven'. We are each other's mirror, each other's reference, and the indispensable other half of this festival." ("Nian Beast Makes Self-Media") "The meaning of the Kitchen God's existence has never been to report to the Jade Emperor, but to let the world know that there is a god in your head and you must act with conscience. Similarly, if KPIs in the workplace are divorced from the fundamental of 'making people live better', they will become shackles that bind us." ("Performance Appraisal of the Kitchen God") "Big data can calculate whether the conditions of two people are equivalent, but it cannot calculate whether two people are willing to pay for each other. It can match the most suitable people together, but if the two people are not willing to get along, no matter how suitable they are, it is useless." ("Yue Lao uses big data") "Really important things often cannot be quantified; truly warm relationships never need to be assessed." ("Kitchen Lord Performance Appraisal") 6. The last sentence To be honest, I haven't read a story like this for a long time. They are not like those chicken soups that "teach you how to be a human being", nor are they like those realisms that "make you anxious". They use a magical perspective to allow us to see ourselves again - to see ourselves struggling to adapt to the tide of the times, to see ourselves struggling under the pressure of KPIs, and to see ourselves searching for our sincerity in algorithm recommendations. If you feel a little tired, a little confused, and don't know where to go lately - try reading this set of books. Let Nian Beast smile with you, let Kitchen God sigh with you, and let Yue Lao be in a daze with you for a while. Then in the laughter and sighs, find the self that has not been alienated. I'm serious, go read it. You'll thank me.
Such a masterpiece, the only one in the world! Unless you are an ancient person, how could you miss this book? It will be a regret for you in this life! Can't stop! Heart-stirring! Tear-jerking and laughter-inducing! The ceiling of humanity's masterpiece! I passionately recommend a phenomenal book that I am currently following. It is a unique and imaginative masterpiece - "Dream of the Fantasy Universe", which will subvert all your reading experience! Enjoy it and you're welcome! [Make a face][make a face][make a face][make a face][make a face][make a face][make a face][make a face]
Each flower catches his own eye, I feel that Yin Nian is my favorite heroine! The lowest starting point, the highest achievement. Kill decisively, retaliate without killing innocent people indiscriminately, be kind and compassionate, have great love in your heart without being a holy mother! Moreover, the author's writing is beautiful, his thinking is rigorous, and he is quite successful in group portraits! The tacit understanding of the two chiefs, the cuteness of Brother Pingtou, the smart discussion of the little princess, and the persistence and strength of Hua Xuan. . . Every character is impressive and unforgettable. . . .
This book is really super good, and if it equals it, it will be out of stock. The female characters in it all have very distinct personalities. They fight for their own goals, power, and power. Everyone is very smart and thoughtful. At first, I felt average after watching it. Later, it became better and better. I also liked Chen Man more and more because she was so sincere, kind and delicate. At first, I thought she was... A love brain and the other heroine Pei Yuhuan watch it together and feel that she is not smart and has no scheming, but people who are too smart always make calculations too clearly. Chen Man's sincerity and delicacy are very rare. The two heroines have their own emotional lines, but the emphasis is still on describing their own life routes and supporting each other together.
If you like romance, you can read this book. Two completely normal people try and fall into each other step by step. The male protagonist is really the ceiling. He will not tell outsiders and the female protagonist that they are a fake couple. No one knows except them. They really give them enough respect.
It is very beautiful, humorous, and moderate in length. The heroine has a carefree yet cute and smart character. The interaction with the emperor is also very real and natural. The heroine CP is not the emperor, and the emperor recognizes the heroine as his sister. The content is very exciting and interesting. Worth a look.
Cure yourself crazy with this sweet pet for adults! The 30-year-old working-class heroine has a broken Buddhist mentality. She is worn down by the workplace and has no expectations. She no longer believes in love! After a script-killing encounter with the cold-ceilinged male protagonist, it was love at first sight! There are no bloody tricks, only the contrast between gentleness, doting, and jealousy! Ambiguity is delicate and healing, the heroine slowly grows up independently, and is truly down-to-earth!
This novel does not belong to any ready-made genre. It has a grand time and space span like "War and Peace", a description of senses and memories like "In Search of Lost Time", and a world view like "Lord of the Rings", but it finally falls into the daily life of a woman making rice balls, knitting scarves, and combing cats. This is an urban romance with a shockingly profound core idea. The pace is slow but absolutely fine!
The group portrait is a quick passage through the story, a growth-oriented heroine, who will not give her wisdom unless she is the Holy Mother, and she will try her best to grow up. In the past life and this life, one body has two souls, and the chess pieces are reversed into the chess player. Stable updates are being made every day, I hope you can read the comments!
There are many popular books that I lose my enthusiasm for after reading them, or I am too lazy to recommend them after reading them. After finishing the last few books, I still feel that I have not finished them. The first one is the only one I'm following right now, it's great
