Tides of Change: The Sea

"Post-apocalyptic·The Sea" long review "Fantasy combined with wisdom is the mother of art and the source of miracles. - Goya" "Fantasy combined with wisdom" is a perfect description of "Post-apocalyptic? The "Sea" opens with the heroine Ke Yuan opening the door. The author creates such a scene through the strong visual sense of writing: the smell of sulfur in the air, the acid rain that corrodes the ground, the unused highway, the only surviving statues, Ke Yuan's heroic figure on a motorcycle, Fire misses a fierce shot, and the scenery on both sides moves backwards. You are instantly sucked into a grand post-apocalyptic IMAX panoramic blockbuster. "Starting from nuclear wastewater pollution, the Earth's marine and land ecosystems were destroyed, eventually leading to floods that swallowed up the land. Extraordinary natural disasters followed. Tsunamis, crustal catastrophes, and even alien attacks followed one after another. The surface water area increased year by year and accounted for 99%. Land is scarce, and the effective living space for humans is less than 1%." Even these descriptions of the future of the earth are reasonable speculations based on the current status of meteorology, marine ecology, etc. It can be seen that the author's research is meticulous: ·For example, in architecture - the Augustus Imperial Tower adopts the design of Tower of Babel (symbolizing the undefeated genetic authority), the tree-like extension of Fire Red Lighting (symbolizing the new power of red), and Sai Futaba's Tide Line Art Museum (symbolizing the unpredictable sea). The geographical location in the core area shows a tripartite trend, and the three most powerful forces in the core area have been laid out in the layout. The science-oriented NEO base building symbolizes the disappearing glaciers on the earth. It is the determination of scientists who are concerned about environmental degradation and are determined to scientifically rebuild the ecology. · Another example is religion and traditional grotto culture - five towering statues of human grotto civilization stand in Area A, and Areas C and D connect the universal Bodhisattva under the bridge. At different times and stages, the author's Bodhisattva forms a symbol in the text, which are symbols of salvation, hope and faith. In the finale, the Bodhisattva holds the sea and withstands the flood, which contains the metaphor of faith to withstand all difficulties and protect mankind. This is the only work I have ever read that can present a true sense of cinematic artistry in this way. "Post-Apocalyptic·The Sea" is not even just a simple classification in the author tag. If you click on it with the mentality of reading a fantasy romance work, you will eventually be surprised by the amount of information brought by the entire story. The full text contains 5 major living areas: different areas have different governance systems, ecological environments, living habits, human mentality and mental states; ·Six major camp-isms: the genetic supremacy of the ancient family headed by Augustus, the fanatical alien aesthetics of Sai Futaba, and the fanaticism of alien worship in the D-area underground city. The villain camp seems to be evil, but it is precisely the fear of the end of the world. They weakly bow their heads and worship aliens to protect their own interests, but the younger generation is the strongest. The genetic revolutionism held by the armed force Fire advocates that the strong should protect the weak. NEO scientists, led by Doctor Bai and Ke Yuan, believe in using technology to protect mankind and the earth. The military's position is responsibility first, never fear and never retreat, and not taking a step back to protect mankind has the power to shock people. ·3 Major aesthetic styles: If we choose the TOP1 scene in the full text, I would first recommend the battle of the ancient Zen temple in Area B. I have never seen such a Zen-like and intense battle scene in any movie or novel. The author is unique in using Eastern aesthetics and alien attachment in his post-apocalyptic works. The red candle swaying on the Medicine Buddha statue creates a strange beauty, and the picture is shocking; while the madness in the underground gladiatorial city in Area D is a 180° turn to another romantic and aesthetic field of violent aesthetics. Once the fantasy underground palace jellyfish appears, I can only open my mouth, and even the story it tells is both Greek and Greek. The tragedy of art is lamentable; in the three long chapters of the finale, the surrealist alien mother goddess appears and shocks the soul. The author uses the breakout idea to adjust the highlight to the character Bai. Bai has always been the spiritual leader and a kind of pillar in the human camp throughout the text. She has the same existence. She is not like the supporting characters in other works that highlight the greatness of the protagonist. Bai herself is a divine figure who is loved very much. The sense of sanctity of the entire work is enhanced because of the ending. I cannot spoil more. I can only say that it is completely unexpected. The author's brain is worthy of having made blockbuster movies. The author not only reveals a corner of the post-apocalyptic world from the perspective of the female protagonist, but also uses the female protagonist and the male protagonist to investigate the cross-regional invasion of alien species, and gradually reveals the tug-of-war and persistence of two generations and several forces on the earth. Combining Fire's pursuit and protection of Ke Yuan and Ke Yuan's bond with Fire, in Fire's eyes, Ke Yuan will always be his cute and stubborn little childhood sweetheart, the girl he tried his best to get when he first met love. Ke Yuan's words changed Fire's belief - to use the strongest genes to protect the human beings the girl cares about most. The author said: Fire's love for Ke Yuan is the most romantic beam of light in the universe, and I firmly believe it. "Post-apocalyptic The Sea" does not place its hope in the salvation of personal heroism. It lowers the tone and forcibly suppresses the cruelty of human nature. It uses the positions of all parties who are evenly matched to allow readers to think more about themselves. It also does not have a fake void of full-blooded enthusiasm and random slogans. It is more based on the perspective of characters. The fate of Sadako, Mrs. Augustus, Ke Heng and other final characters are all based on their own choices, because some things are more important than their own interests. I have to admire the outstanding literary talent of Jinjiang, which is at the level of an old god. I also admire that a master who already has solid reputation and many mainstream awards is still refreshing the new readers' understanding of her: using words to build a grand IMAX literary science fiction masterpiece, subtly awakening us to protect the hot land under our feet, and arousing the light of faith in our hearts. And when I went back to read the whole story, I discovered that in fact, the "Source of Miracles" "Post-apocalyptic·The Sea" had been created for less than 3 months, and it had already been firmly scheduled to be the number one literary, science fiction and romance novel of the year. The better news for readers is that Shan Da is still creating.

Wow, why did you finish watching it?

I was so excited to watch it that I almost cried at the end. If it were made into a movie properly, it wouldn't be much better than some European and American blockbusters!!!

It's rare to see science fiction written so well. The author is really great.

Damn, what about the extra story? Please update.

Can there be more science fiction like this? Every scene is a movie-level construction.

Damn, I kept calling mom while reading the last chapter. Professor Bai is really charming. She is light. She made Ke Heng believe that human beings can still be saved. She also taught Ke Yuan love and firmness. She protected the entire earth and "believed in science." This is the mother-like brilliance, and it also corresponds to the mother goddess.

??? That's it? Okay, actually I want to watch the scene between Ke Ke and his mother and father 😭

I cried, and ended up whimpering.

Wow, the writing is so great. I was completely immersed in it while watching it, and I didn't dare to breathe!
