The Legend of the Cat and Mouse: Reincarnation

Whether he is reincarnated or not is really a philosophical question... Feeling sorry for the mouse and cat from the previous life

It's a little complicated, I feel sorry for the little white guy from the previous world,

Which one is more important, Bai Yutang in the previous life or Bai Yutang in this life, that's why I don't like this kind of rebirth story, because no matter which one I choose, I will feel a sense of betrayal, and what about the former Zhan Zhao in this life?

I don't know how many times I have read it. When I first entered the circle of rats and cats, my feelings were different from what I feel now. It may be the change in my feelings towards rats and cats, or it may be my own changes. A good article is suitable for reading side by side, and the experience will be different every time. Five years have passed, when will the author write another article about rats and cats?

In fact, the little yachai in the previous life always felt regretful and guilty for not telling the young man in white clothes his feelings. However, after the young man in white clothes died, the young yachai also spent the rest of his life to bury him with the young man in white clothes (he had no love at all, no future, and lived to torture himself). This life can probably be said to be a new understanding and a new start. Zhan Zhao has already understood the difference between the Bai Yutang in front of him and the young man in white. In fact, the current Zhan Zhao and Xiao Yacha cannot be said to be the same person. After all, the Xiao Yacha who was once with Mr. Bai was probably silent and reserved, and has died with the death of Mr. Bai. After dying, I met a Bai Yutang who was the same but different again, and Zhan Zhao was no longer the little cadre who was shy to express his love in the past. It was this Yutang that allowed Zhan Zhao to learn to love again. Now Zhan Zhao has also fallen in love with Bai Yutang again, who said that he is the hero in white. It can be said that Zhan Zhao fell in love with Bai Yutang again. He also learned from the past between the cadre and the young man in white that since he has fallen in love, he should cherish the person in front of him. Ps: In fact, I feel that whether we are reborn in the past or reborn in a parallel time and space, or even stay together without twists and turns, it is a process of "producing love" that is constantly repeated. The difference is that being together all the time is superimposing "love you more every day" on the original basis; parallel. Time and space are reset but there is an initial favorability. You cannot treat the other person as a substitute and ignore his different parts, and then slowly accept and think that the different parts are also good; if you go back to the past, you can have both. After all, a person's past appearance and the appearance in memory will be a little different. Pps: By the way, I am still a little concerned about the original Zhan Zhao in this time and space. Did he have a crush on Bai Yutang after meeting him once? But what is the reason why there has been no intersection...?

After reading the comments and the ending, I feel like something is wrong. I have always felt that rebirth is to make up for things I regretted in the past. However, the comments and ending give people the feeling that they are not reborn in the past, but in a parallel world. Even if the people in that world have the same appearance, the same name, the same personality, they are no longer the same person. So, is the so-called love for the person in front of you or the empathy for the person before? Well, this is what I deduced based on the comments and the last chapter. I didn't read the specific article and may have misunderstood it.

I'm really glad to see that I'm not the only one who came back to read old articles after watching Highest Alert~~ Mo Da's writing has a little warmth and a touch of sadness~~~ (I also cried for several chapters QAQ) Fortunately, it was HE in the end! ! The cat here reminds me of the manga I just reviewed a while ago… Excalibur (Rurouni Kenshin)... There is a sentence in it that I think is very suitable for Mao Da before his real rebirth~~ His smile, with a lot of tenderness... Hides a little sadness~~ (heartache~~) I hope Mo Da will get well soon and start writing about ancient mice and cats~

The setting of Reincarnation is not special, but the story is very attractive to me. Although it is a cliched rebirth theme, the setting of the two people's almost compatible positions made me look forward to something inexplicably. Zhaozhao's depression due to his previous life experience and his conflict between letting go and not letting go make people love and feel sorry for him. The ups and downs of Master Wu's emotions hidden behind his cold appearance after his sexual transformation make people want to make waves for him. I look forward to seeing you write more about ancient mouse and cat stories~_"

Mo Qingyu's "The Reincarnation of the Rat and Cat" - Who am I in the two reincarnations? Who do you love? Different kittens and white mice. Write a review for my favorite cat and mouse or cat and mouse or cat and mouse/cat (I mean, as long as it is this pair of CP, I can accept whoever is on top and who is on bottom to attack each other). There are many CP articles about this pair, but according to my standards, there are not many medium-length novels that are excellent in all aspects and that I still feel are quite good after reading them several times. "Reincarnation" is one of the best. In my mind, the kitten is Jin Zhao and the white mouse is Sun Shu. I apologize if it is different from the author's preset. Also, I don't know the author's gender, so when mentioned below, I will always write "him". If it is inconsistent with the facts, I apologize again. I am reading the standard dividing line The following is my standard for reading articles. (This part is a bit long, and I really don't like God's perspective.) For me, good writing is always more important than a good story. The plot is thunderous, full of flaws, and bloody. The first thing I can't stand when reading a novel is the narrative from a perspective, followed by pretentious lyricism, and the unattractive straightforward narrative. In short, the craft of storytelling is always more important than the story itself. What is God's perspective? That is, the author regards himself as an omniscient and omnipotent God when narrating. If any person or event appears in the course of the story, he can jump out at any time to explain and discuss, or directly enter the plot without any introduction. This is not wrong. Since he is the author, how can he not know the plot of the characters and events in the story? But this kind of unskilled narration greatly affects my reading pleasure, and I really can't bear it. Randomly take a certain time travel article as an example (copied from the book): XX couldn't help but open his eyes and saw that the first person to come in was a beautiful woman about forty years old. Although she was dressed very plainly, she had gold hairpins and cloth on her head and jade jewelry in her hands. Just looking at this dress, she was definitely not an ordinary civilian. "Madam, Doctor Zhang is here." The mother-in-law who just spoke came in again and spoke to the woman. "Come in quickly," Mrs. Shen said, her voice majestic but filled with urgency. Every time I see such a magical perspective, I immediately question the author's storytelling skills. I feel that he regards himself as an omniscient and omnipotent God, who can use his magic fingers at any time. Otherwise, since XX had just traveled through time and had just observed the person coming from his eyes a second ago, how could he turn on the author universal mode the next second and know that the person coming was Mrs. Shen? A reasonable development should be that the doctor Zhang invited by the mother-in-law called herself "Mrs. Shen", so XX knew "it turns out that this woman is Mrs. Shen". The funniest example of divine perspective is undoubtedly the way Ms. Zhen describes herself in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" with "a cold light flashing in my eyes." Dare I ask Ms. Zhen, did your soul soar into the air to observe your own actions? The opposite of God's perspective is limited knowledge perspective. The authors of ancient fairy tales were quite good at telling stories at this point. From a purely limited perspective, all kinds of adventures can only be seen through the eyes of ordinary people who have experienced them. Gradually, readers can't help but be surprised and happy, fearful and doubtful. Until they finish reading, they may sigh "So it is like this" or "Sure enough, it is like this" - this kind of immersive reading pleasure, how can this perspective compare? "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" is one of the best. To sum up, the divine perspective is the most intolerable flaw in the article. If an author cannot grasp the angle of telling a story well, then I can almost conclude that it will be difficult for him to be relaxed and engaging in the process of telling the story. You say you have a good story, you say the story has twists and turns, you say the characters in the story are vivid, you say the story conveys sincere feelings and profound thoughts, but you don't know how to tell stories. How can I have the patience to listen to your story? I can't bear to pretend to be lyrical, because I always believe that truly moving emotions don't need to be decorated with gorgeous rhetoric. But this involves an issue of aesthetic orientation, so as long as the sentences are not wrong or the composition is confusing or even incomprehensible, the author can pile up the rhetoric if he wants to. At worst, I won't read it. A truly good piece of writing is undoubtedly "Living" by Yu Hua, which uses the most concise sentences to describe the greatest suffering in life. After Youqing died, Fugui carried Jiazhen to the entrance of the village, his clothes wet with Jiazhen's tears. "I looked at the winding path leading to the city, and could not hear the sound of my son running barefoot. The moonlight shone on the road, as if it was sprinkled with salt." The emotions contained in such calm and calm narration have great power to penetrate people's hearts. There is no need to pile up any fancy words, let alone pretentiousness. Ps, "Alive" is the highest state of first-person and limited-knowledge perspective. Unattractive and straightforward narration usually comes in a buy-one-get-one-free combination with God's perspective. It's also because the author doesn't have the skills to tell a good story, and people can't enjoy the pleasure of reading, so they won't stop talking nonsense. I have finally entered the dividing line of book reviews Having said so much, I am finally going to talk about "The Legend of Reincarnation"... For the specific plot, please read the work yourself. I am here to write a review, with spoilers, and I am not responsible for explaining the causes and consequences of the story. Let's start from a narrative perspective. The story basically unfolds from the perspective of Zhan Mao Mao after his rebirth. The author does not have omniscience and omnipotence to stand up and explain everything. Zhan Mao Mao didn't know what kind of relationship Zhan Zhao had with Bai Yutang in this reincarnated life, so he asked Gongsun and the Four Gate Pillars, and everyone narrated it, which was very reasonable. Occasionally, the author will switch to Xiaobai's perspective and write about his views and feelings on this reborn Zhan Zhao, but this is mainly to promote the relationship between the two. In the development of the storyline, there will be no abruptness where a new character appears and the author suddenly jumps out and starts talking without a transition. For example, when Ding Zhaolan appears, Zhan first recognizes "Oh, this is Ding Zhaolan" with his little eyes, and then introduces the past relationship between the two. This arrangement of small details shows the author's skill in telling stories. Let's talk about words. I don't know if the author has revised the text, but basically I can read it smoothly, sentence by sentence, and there are no obvious grammatical errors in my impression. The most sensational thing was when Xiaobai invited Zhanmao to go to Xiankong Island, saying that we should be good brothers. Zhanmao was heartbroken and decided to give up his extravagant hopes for Xiaobai's love in this life (copied from the book): In this life, Bai Yutang was indifferent. He liked to be quiet and had little interest in foreign things. He was not the person who was flirting with him for a drink, nor was he the person who forced himself to kiss him when he refused. He was not the person who stood in the ice and snow and said to the first blooming wintersweet in Kaifeng, "Mao'er, this is so beautiful, it is the same color as your official uniform." Then without warning, "Cat, I like you." I like you too. Zhan Zhao wanted to shout, but couldn't. He stood on the top of the mountain, letting the wind numb his face, but his eyes were so swollen that he couldn't shed a single tear. What should be lost has been lost in the previous life. He turned back, regaining his gentle look, and looked at Bai Yutang with a slight smile, "Yutang, are you coming with me?" Bai Yutang raised his head and looked at Zhan Zhao quietly in the night. The man was not far from him, only a few steps away, but he seemed to be out of reach. It's a little sensational, and Zhan Maomao's heart-breaking pain can be reflected between the lines, but it's not excessive or pretentious. These lyrical words are also concise and concise, which is very pleasing to the eye. Let's talk about the characters. Generally speaking, in this pair of CP novels, based on Zhan Mao Mao's status as a hero and official, his character will have the characteristic of forbearance and dedication; and he corresponds to a wanton and flamboyant white mouse. Therefore, in the emotional interaction between the two, Zhan Mao Mao is the more passive one most of the time. Even in classic cat-and-mouse novels like "Liang Yuan Ran Ji", Zhan Mao Mao is the one who is pushed away during the development of relationships. (In my impression, there are only a few films that actively show Mao Mao: "White Jade Zhao Ran", "Inverted Dreams", "Kai Zai Feng", and "Zi Bu Yu".) Zhan Maomao in "The Legend of Reincarnation" is quite unique. He takes the initiative because this is his rebirth. He wants to recover the love he missed due to passivity in his previous life. He wants to catch that person again, so he repeatedly approaches Xiaobai and shows his goodwill to Xiaobai. At the same time, he was also entangled, because this was his rebirth, but not Xiaobai's rebirth. He knew in his heart that even if he caught the person in front of him, it would not be the same person or feelings as before. Therefore, Zhan Maomao, who was proactive but troubled, had to painfully face and admit a cruel reality when Xiaobai rejected his love and extended an olive branch of friendship to him - rebirth cannot change the past (copied book): He admitted it, he should have admitted it a long time ago. Ever since King Xiangyang brought the bloody ink jade locust stone and the broken knife in front of him, he knew that Bai Yutang would never come back. He has always been wishful thinking. The giant tower was buried and the sword was broken. What is broken is broken. That was the last knife that Mr. Jiang made, and there would never be another one. It's no more, it's not about living again, turning back time, and there is hope. There should be no hope. What amends, what compensation, what guilt and apology. Those feelings disappeared when I closed my eyes in my previous life. When I opened my eyes again, it was another life. Another life, another person. The noob in "The Legend of Reincarnation" is also a very unique noob. Although he was attracted to Zhan Maomao, who was active and entangled, and he was willing to become friends and brothers with this person, but as the author said, he had never considered his relationship with Zhan Maomao from the perspective of love, so he rejected Zhan Maomao. He seems to be the only noob I've ever seen who refuses to show his kittens. He is a proud novice. I love the author's plot setting about Xiaobai's pride (copied from the book): (There is a murder case involving a servant of Xiaobai's family, so Zhan Mao Mao investigates the case.) Bai Yutang raised his chin and looked at Zhan Zhao, "It seems like you have never doubted me. What if I really killed him?" "What's the reason?" "Do I need a reason to kill someone?" Bai Yutang raised an eyebrow. Zhan Zhao smiled, "This is the best reason." "You, Mr. Bai Wu, don't need a reason to kill someone, so you don't need to be so pretentious." "No reason is needed at all" - the so-called pride is nothing more than this! The proud Xiaobai is so proud that he doesn't want to see him as someone else, even if that "other" is himself in another life. In his view, "There is only one Bai Yutang in the world, whether it is the previous life, the previous life, or this life. There is nothing that can be replaced, and there is nothing that can be exchanged. " So we come to the two questions in the title: Who am I? Who do you love? About rebirth and love. Rebirth is a very popular meme nowadays. Authors love to write it and readers love to read it. So you were reborn, and I was reborn, as if all problems could be solved by being reborn. I understand it as, rebirth is our desire to make up for the regrets in life. Rebirth is like an eraser. If a certain paragraph of our life experience is wrongly written, poorly written, or unsatisfactory - erase it! Rewrite. This is such a simple and beautiful solution. But think about it, is this really the case? In the reincarnation of two lives, who is Zhan Mao Mao? Is it the Zhan Mao Mao who lived in pain and regret for the rest of his life because Xiaobai died in Chongxiao Tower in his previous life? Or is it because he wanted to make up for his regrets after being reincarnated, so he repeatedly took the initiative to get close to Xiaobai? They are both exhibition kittens, but which exhibition kittens are they? Who does Zhanmao love? Is it the Xiaobai who loved him but died in Chongxiao Tower? Or is this Xiaobai who lives but refuses his love? They are all novices, but which novice are they? This Zhanmao loves Xiaobai because of Xiaobai, which is unfair to Xiaobai. That Zhan Maomao loves this Xiaobai, so it is unfair for Xiaobai to let him go. The so-called rebirth does not solve the problem, but makes things more entangled. (The above sentence looks like a mess, but in fact it is such a mess...) On this issue, Xiaobai sees it more clearly than Zhanmao. The whistling monkey persuaded him to accept Zhan Mao Mao's love and asked him to "treasure the people in front of him". He became angry (copied from the book): Cherish the people in front of you? No, this sentence should be said to Zhan Zhao, not to myself. No matter how many people there are in Zhan Zhao. The first time he saw Zhan Zhao, he had no deep impression, and he never thought about its subsequent development. But what brought him other emotions, what made him laugh for the first time, was the Zhan Zhao in front of him, and no one else. If what you care about... Is the Zhan Zhao in front of you. But who is he looking at? Bai Yutang, Bai Yutang. Are you actually competing with your other self? This isn't like you. But who can tell me what kind of Bai Yutang is Bai Yutang? Who can tell me what kind of Zhan Zhao is Zhan Zhao? He couldn't even tell Zhan Zhao clearly, how could he tell the difference himself? For a novice, no matter how many kittens or novices there are, the only real thing is the one living in the present, and only this one! When Xiaobai angrily asked him, "Zhan Zhao!" Tell me, who are you thinking of when you look at me? After that, Zhan Maomao finally came to a realization - "Going back to where you should go, whether it's hell or reincarnation, will it be salvation for both of you?" Maybe this body will be returned to the original Zhan Zhao, maybe he shouldn't have come. " Therefore, rebirth cannot change the past. Since rebirth cannot change the past, what we really should do, and the only thing we can do, is to face it and let it go. Instead of trying to recover a love that belongs to the past, it is better to treasure it and start a new love. After seeing through this, the love between Mao Mao and Xiao Bai finally had a beautiful beginning towards true perfection (copied from the book): Bai Yutang took a sip of wine, then scooped it up, and gave Zhan Zhao a full cup, handing it over, "Sir, the person who untied the bell must tie the bell. So I did it myself. " Zhan Zhao hesitated while holding the wine glass, looking at his own eyes reflected in the clear wine, and said: "I haven't thought about it yet. " "You thought about it. "Bai Yutang took another sip of wine. He drank a little hastily, and his head was slightly drunk, but he persistently poured himself a full glass, "You have thought about it, but you just don't want to do it. " Zhan Zhao's face changed slightly, "No, you don't understand..." "I understand. "Bai Yutang interrupted him, looked up at the night sky, and said: "In the past few days, I have figured out a truth. " Zhan Zhao turned to look at him, and Bai Yutang continued: "When people stay in a fixed environment for a long time, they will feel at ease, and because they feel too at ease, they cannot move forward. "Bai Yutang drank again and his face turned slightly red. Zhan Zhao frowned, "Don't keep drinking. " Bai Yutang turned a deaf ear and continued: "If you don't leave first, those things will keep binding you. And you have long been accustomed to it, so you can't move forward or let go. But actually you know, you know, you just can't do it. " Zhan Zhao pursed his lips, raised his head and drank the wine. After a while, he sighed, put down the wine bottle, and said: "You are right, I have understood it a long time ago. " He had long understood that he was just deceiving himself. The unanswered words were the knot in his heart. He once thought he could make up for it, but now it seems that this knot will never be solved. Cherish the people in front of you. Zhan Zhao thought he understood it once, but now he realized that he didn't understand it thoroughly. "I'm sorry. "He said to Bai Yutang, this is the only thing he can say now. Bai Yutang took another sip of wine and said, "I accept. " In philosophy, rebirth is called "One cannot step into the same river twice." In science, rebirth involves black holes, wormholes, and parallel spaces. I don't know what the author's views are on the issue of "rebirth". If these plots and sentences reflect some of his outlook on life, I admire the depth of his thinking. If he just wanted to write a different rebirth story, then I admire his intuition. This is one of the best rebirth stories I've ever read. (Although writing book reviews to explore subtle meanings and big ideas is my profession, I still admire myself for writing so many words.) I am the dividing line of completion I would like to dedicate this book review to my great love Zhan Zhao Bai Yu Tang, and also to the author Mo Qingyu who told a good story. There are many other good articles, but I probably won't write them again for the time being. Done, scatter flowers! !

What about the long comment I just posted? ? ?
