The God of Death lives in the room next door. On windy nights, he always wants to bask in the sun. The woman in red in the building across the way is his lost wife. In this life, she is only seventeen. Whenever he sees her, he thinks of the line of poetry about a carefree oriole chirping sweetly among the flowers.
Written in the summer of 2016.
Theme: Nothing hurts more than yearning for what you cannot have
It's about love, but also about friendship. After so many years, those words written in black and white are still as sharp as swords. Birds and fish are elusive, but the friendship between fish and Ye Yin has been lingering for thousands of years. Who said that friendship will definitely lose to love? Has the flying general met Ye Yin by chance on the road for thousands of years? Only Yu is Ye Yin's cherished confidant and friend, but after thousands of years, he still "can't let you go"
Your books all reveal the kind of indifference that sees through the world and accepts reality, but it is also sad.
The article begins with "I am a fish". These five simple words instantly arouse the reader's curiosity and attract the reader to read on. An ordinary fish in Jinghua Lake received a few drops of blood from the demon king Hai Dongqing when he was injured, and thus gained spiritual power. When he jumped out of the water, he was "always much higher than his companions." However, this little change was regarded by people as a spectacle like a carp leaping over the dragon's gate, which is a bit ridiculous. But it was precisely because of this that Houwenyu jumped out of the water too high and ran aground. He was almost caught by people. He was rescued by the Demon King Hai Dongqing. From then on, he became a disciple and devoted himself to training. The connection between the two events is smooth and natural, and the cause and effect seem clear, but there is also a foreshadowing and mystery hidden here - why does a fish want to fly? It was not until I met Xiao Cui later that the answer to this puzzle was finally revealed - a fish in the water with enlightened intelligence. By chance, on a dim rainy day, I saw the figure of a kingfisher in flight, its beautiful feathers that seemed to shine in the dim light, and the loneliness hidden beneath them. These formed the basis of the fish's obsession with flying and its love for Xiao Cui. The time span of the article is very large, from the cold winter in Jinghua Lake, to the changes in Jingyun Villa, to the thousand-year-old petrified towers in the East China Sea, and the endless changes of dynasties, Daxia, Daxing, Dazheng, and finally Dazhao, but it does not make people feel boring. , The reason is that the author has filled in extremely rich narratives during these thousands of years. The emotions of the protagonist Yu in this article have also changed with the changes of time, and are not static - from the pure love for Xiaocui at the beginning, to the later due to A Bai's jealousy arose, and then he couldn't bear Xiaocui's love for Ye Yin, and even "sorrowed out of love, and fear out of love." The long-term inability to love finally gave him a twisted mentality, thinking, "She is always alive, but she is always alive." She doesn't love me after all, I hope she dies. God is kind to me, she is finally dying, and I am finally free." He wanted to kill Xiao Cui to end his painful love, and wanted to use Xiao Cui's death to put an end to this love that never received any response. However, amidst this change, there are also emotions that remain unchanged. Yu's love for Xiao Cui is unchanging, and it is precisely because of this unchanging love that changes can occur due to love; Hai Dongqing's determination to completely separate from Hua Weiming is unchanging, so he will go to the human world again and again, absorbing resentment and strengthening his skills, hoping that one day he can succeed (and he did succeed in the end); Xiao Cui's love for Ye Yin also remains unchanged. "Fight all over the world in the name of a man, fulfill his long-cherished wish, and guard the great rivers and mountains." The friendship between Ye Yin and Yu also remains unchanged. The two agreed on a mark to meet in the next life. Even after thousands of years, Yu still remembered Ye Yin's birthday and was willing to go to the temple to offer incense and pray for him. Thousands of years later, Ye Yin also recognized his friend from thousands of years ago through the agreed mark. "Change" and "immutability" are intertwined, fully enriching and filling the space in this huge span of time, but also leaving blanks at key points - Xiao Cui's future life, how Amon lived, Hai Dongqing's life after he lifted the magic power and became an immortal, and Ye Yin's experience in the past thousand years. When Yu became "Shi Guan Hai", he once mentioned "flying birds and fish". These four words happened to be the most appropriate representation of the relationship between Yu and Xiao Cui - Xiao Cui is a flying bird, free and alienated, and her love is a love that flies in the sky and cannot be touched by the fish in the lake; while the fish has no wings and wanders in the lake, surrounded and trapped by water. Just as he cannot forget his love for Xiao Cui, a feather has been imprinted on his chest and cannot be smoothed or eliminated. The text in this article is very pictorial, "It was very cold that winter, the Jinghua Lake was frozen", "The slender and fair girl, I want to carry her to see the stars", "In the evening mist, the night rain is coming, I can drink the good morning light in one gulp", etc., These few words convey the full artistic conception and are full of charm. And "The clouds are fat and low, giving me the illusion that I can taste them", "My heart is as soft as a puddle of mud", "The whole thing is as quiet as ashes". These expressions are fresh and interesting, and full of agility. Then he commented that Ye Jingtian, the leader of the martial arts alliance, is "a peerless villain, the world is really interesting"; Amon, the honey badger, made fun of the inscriptions on the boulder, "It is a virtue to be as fearful as a tiger, tsk tsk"; Han Bingao claimed that "you have to listen to what a two-hundred-year-old man says." This kind of cold humor dispels the heaviness of narrative and emotion, adds a lot of fun to reading, and makes people smile. After reading the full text, I also have some thoughts about the word "amber" in the title. From the fish in Jinghua Lake to the boulders in the East China Sea, Xiao Cui's transformation from a kingfisher to a "flying general", Ye Yin's gun burned in silence, and those questions about flight, love, sacrifice and time, are all sealed in the "amber" of the text by the author with superb skills. This "amber" not only solidifies thousands of years of time, but also reflects the colorful brilliance with its unique perspective, rich imagery, deep emotions and timeless thoughts.
Bai Bai, why don't you write a short romance novel? The writing is so good that it's not enough to read. (PS: Danmei must be good too, but I accept incompetence.)
Oh my god, I already guessed that the prince and Hongye were related, but I really didn't expect it to be another love triangle?? He can't let go?? Fish love birds, birds love leaves, leaves love fish?
Hello teacher, first let me talk about my overall feeling about the article ~ The teacher writes fluently, especially the first-person narrative perspective is very novel, and he has a good grasp of the underlying character of the character "I". By witnessing many grievances and hatreds from the perspective of "I", at the end, there is quite a sense of sadness and indifference hidden in the world. The ability to tell a rich story in a short number of words is evident in his writing skills. Next, let's talk about writing. The teacher's description of the appearance and personality of each important character can be carved out in a few short sentences. For example, Xiao Cui "wears black, has a slim face, as bright as white jade, and is filled with moisture on her body, giving her a youthful and heroic spirit." There is also the "I" that takes the form of a human and looks like a "peasant." The somewhat rustic and funny image is all lifelike. The teacher's choice of imagery for the protagonist "fish" and Xiaocui's "flying bird" is also very subtle. The article says: "Looking at her from a distance, my thoughts are swirling, and I think of many years ago, when the reed flowers were like snow, she flew in, her wings cut through the center of the lake, and I have the desire to fly from then on." They are obviously fish swimming in the water, but because of the figure of the flying bird, I have a desire for the sky. But because of the helplessness of the world, there are too many things that cannot be predicted and accomplished. The fate of "me" and Xiaocui is like a drop of ink, integrated into this cold and damp world. Coupled with the entanglement between the two and Ye Yin, when "I" saw the two of them approaching the end of their lifespan, I thought, "She is always alive, but she never loves me. I hope she dies. God is kind to me, she is finally dying, and I am finally free." It is inevitable that people will feel sour after watching this 🤩 🤩

It is a very rich story to read, and nothing is too strong. The whole story is like watching an ink painting. The ink slowly dilutes and spreads on the paper, staining the fluttering clothes and a series of love, hate and current entanglements. Many words and sentences are stopped at just the right time. It is very charming and matches the background of the whole story. It has ancient rhyme but also some very clever metaphors, which is quite vivid~ The protagonist is a fish, a spirit that transcends mundane things. His feelings are ignorant at first, but then he slowly realizes his feelings, and is forced into endless pain. He falls in love with someone who does not love him. Before he even discovers his feelings, he thought that after surviving the disaster, he could get along with Xiaocui again as before, but the rabbit Abai, who protects her with his life, shattered this dream. From then on, I began to hate Ah Bai, but my background was still kind. Those thoughts only lingered in my heart and never leaked out. Later, when I met Ye Yin, besides love, I had a unique friendship. This time, the other person was a mortal and destined to experience separation. I was prepared, but Xiaocui was not. She was unwilling to let go of A Bai before, and now she is unwilling to let go of Ye Yin. Her character background is much stronger, she dares to love and hate, and her whole person is always flying, like a fire that ignites herself. So in the ending, it was unexpected and reasonable for her to become a general. Spirits live in the human world and gradually become infected with human emotions. I have seen the human world for hundreds and thousands of years, and in the end, when I think of Ye Yin, it is still as light as water in the friendship between gentlemen. I won't forget it, but I won't be obsessed with it either. I couldn't get it from Xiaocui, and Xiaocui couldn't get it from Ye Yin. In the end, the friendship between Ye Yin and I became the most sincere two-way relationship. I was very moved when I read it. Time was stretched out for a long time with the spirit monsters, and the stories during the period were filled in little by little with the changes in the current situation. The whole story did not seem empty, but very rich, and there were many points that can be recalled. It is a beautiful and meaningful story~
After reading it, I have a feeling of unfinished content. The simple writing style reveals a kind of desolation and sadness. For the male protagonist, there is also a kind of regret that love cannot be achieved. I think I am relieved in the end. I don't know if there will be a follow-up. I feel that the male protagonist has lived too long and is very open-minded about many things. He is very free and indifferent, but when facing Xiao Cui, he seems to be a different person. I wonder if he has the element of blessing after knowing that Xiao Cui finally became a general. I feel that this 20,000-word article is more like the male protagonist standing at the end of his life, recalling his life with Ye Yin Xiaocui. It has a bit of a memoir prose feel. It doesn't need a lot of gorgeous writing, but it can touch people's hearts with its sincerity. In my opinion, this ending really has the art of leaving a blank space. We readers can also guess on our own, leaving room for our imagination as to the fate of a bird and a fish.
Children are the most cruel and closest to animal nature. I feel the same way. The meaning of education is to remove the animal nature of children and make them human.
