I spent a long time with Xiao Fu Xiaoqiao and read the complete text in the spring. Teacher Fan's writing style is not plain but authentic. The texture of the text is like a poem. The luxury is pure and pure. The CP has the original appearance of life and the appearance of life as it should be. This is a very happy article and a very, very, very, very good encounter.
When I finished reading "Friends" last year, I said that I must follow the serialization of the next book. Unexpectedly, it was already late March when I read "cp". It took more than half a month to catch up with the series. On the one hand, it is definitely because I am busy, but on the other hand, it is probably because I feel a little confused while reading, and I have to stop and take a breath from time to time. Personally speaking, I may have a close connection with Teacher Fan. Before the college entrance examination last year, I read "Friends". The world was bustling with people and people. After reading it, I felt that my mind was broadened and I gained a kind of peace in the infinite extension. However, friendship is also precious, so this open space is never empty. "CP" probably talks about some small things, some "real" things, but some "truths" are touching and even painful. I used to love watching movies. I watched Nolan from Hitchcock, listened to Philip Lumby and Ryuichi Sakamoto, and played "Cornfield Chase" 2063 times... But I always lacked impressions of Chinese movies. In my freshman year, I chose movies as an elective course, starting with "Dingjun Mountain". I watched it generation after generation, and finally touched a little bit of it. The lecture was rough. Before watching "CP", I was watching Ang Lee. Opening the first chapter of "CP" and starting to play "Pushing Hands" are a common state of mind: another world with another rhythm is accepting you to escape from where you are. Later, I followed Fu Qiao and added "Where Is Armo?" Back to the playlist, but reading the original text was already very sad! It was really sad. After listening to it for a while, I was inexplicably angry and changed it to "Where Is Winston?" (Which is also a strange association. Probably where am I is also a common theme for human beings... After taking the college entrance examination, I successfully entered the ideal university, majoring in humanities and social sciences. Before watching "cp", I had various encounters and just talked about myself with a teacher for the first time in my life. I was trapped in the price of freedom such as university, and she heard me, recognized me, and told me that I was suitable and could continue my studies. I am grateful to her for allowing me to discover what I love - a love that may be measured in life, but I am also grateful for the "cp" I saw later. Fu Qiao's personal pursuit is also a very important part of the article. When I look at Qiao Zhifang, it's like looking at a senior, or looking at some possibility of my own future. However, the truth is naked, and the nakedness is cold and painful. Maybe it's: Do I also want to study for a Ph. D.? Jpg (tears. At such a moment, Qiao Zhifang showed me such a harsh reality. In my naive nascent fantasy, it was certainly sharp and bitter, but I was even more grateful and fortunate. Thanks to Teacher Qiao and Teacher Fan for once again being my life mentors (. I didn't have much energy to leave a chapter review orz before, but I still stopped at the chapter about love. What are we talking about when we talk about love? I don't talk about this issue with many people. I occasionally talk to a few friends, but my writing is suffocated. Plato talks about half-body, Eva talks about the wall of the heart and human completion; we are not Trisolarans, so loneliness is probably a necessity. Seeing Fu Qiao, feeling so empathetically happy overflowing with other people's love, one can't help but feel envy and even subtle jealousy. I have no intention of escaping this loneliness, but I have never denied it, so I can't help but choke up when I see the perfect form approaching. It's not the choking in tears, it's the choking in happiness. Incompleteness is not necessarily the antonym of happiness. I just read another work some time ago, in which the author used a high density of "slang" on literature, history, philosophy and politics without explaining it. My final conclusion: this is the language of language; deepseek gave an example that the syllables of "love" at this time are not love, but everything about "love" in human civilization for thousands of years, to get infinitely close to what I want to express - just close. I think this is common. There are many things built in "cp", and they carry even more for dispersion. Books, movies, theories, architecture, landmarks, life... We use these to build the foundation of the world outside of the plot, and also to build a space for dialogue. The same work we have been fortunate enough to watch with our teacher, the same place we have been to, and the same emotion we have felt will become a new language and complete a communication, in which we talk about Fu Xun and Qiao Zhifang, Fu Qiao, civilization, era, world, life and love. There is a popular saying on the Internet that "literary and artistic workers must be literate." I always feel that first of all, "literary and artistic workers must have a sense of responsibility." No one says that online literature authors are not literary and artistic workers, but what Teacher Fan always conveys in this kind of communication is something that I, as a reader, are often lucky enough to gain now. Thank you to the great teacher for the great meal (put hands together). Probably because of this, I always feel tired when watching "cp". It's good to be tired. The author has put so much effort into writing something, how can the readers not put in the effort to read it (xxx) There are many very personal emotions in the long review. I hesitated whether to really publish it like this. But I guess it makes sense for it to stay here. I'm glad to see Fu Qiao and everyone's story. I'm glad that this journey in life is accompanied by Teacher Fan and Teacher Fan's words. See you in the next book >ω
I had a day off on Friday and went to the cinema with my friends. I sat down and just as the commercials on the screen finished playing, I thought of Xiao Fu for a blank second. It was inexplicable, but I just remembered. Xiao Fu and Xiao Qiao we met again, this time not in a story but in life. Fan wrote this story so realistically that it was so real that I thought we were in the same world. Literary and artistic workers must be educated, and Xiao Fu is a reassuring actor. Xiao Fu's lover also makes people feel particularly at ease. Xiao Fu's inner feelings are that Xiao Qiao has never smoked with him. Xiao Fu, this is how love is. I want to be better with you, and I don't want to drag you down together. Xiao Fu and Xiao Qiao are as cute as a furry toy bear rolling on the grass in spring. Being in love makes me feel so happy. But what touches me the most is their mature love. This is a romantic novel, but it does not say that love can overcome all difficulties or that love is omnipotent, but that everyone needs to complete their own life tasks. It does not say that love is redemption, but that love at its core is independence and self-preservation, and then two people encourage each other and help each other to advance side by side. The best love in life is like this, it is two people who are already very good repaying each other's kindness. When I encountered "cp" during the serialization, it was like encountering a delicious cake. My highest evaluation of desserts is that they are not too sweet. "Cp" is purple in color and delicious. I want to keep eating it... Halfway through the story, I realized that the cake would be finished. At that time, I suddenly felt a little sad. This was a wonderful and wonderful experience of chasing articles. I haven't written a review for a long time, and I don't use this app if I'm not a fan. The last time I devoted myself to reading was in Lubai, and then I watched Xiao Fu Xiaoqiao. The teacher of Lubai is no longer there, and I found that Fan has to live in the present life. I feel a little lost when writing this comment. Many people have left or are leaving, and I don't like reading anymore. Teacher Fan said that completion is very important. Thank you for leaving a complete story every time. I am very lucky to meet Xiao Fu Xiaoqiao. The last paragraph is for Teacher Fan. We are destined to meet again. Even if we don't meet again, it is still a good meeting. There is no regret.
The cover has been changed and the introduction has also been changed [Star Eyes] I wish our CP will get better and better
Passing by their world (written at 6pm on May 17, 26) Hello Fanfan, I wrote a long review for "Friends" last year and received your very thoughtful reply. I still remember it until now. Time flies by so fast. I was still thinking that it was only in the second half of last year that I finished watching "Friends", but I didn't expect that it has already been almost a year and a half. I actually watched "cp" from the beginning to the end. I kept it in my favorites and wanted to pick it up to read, but under the pressure of working seventy hours a week, I never clicked on it. Fortunately, the weather in San Francisco is very good this week. Fortunately, I don't have to work overtime on weekends, so I can calm down and click on this story to read it thoroughly. The following feelings, I'm sorry, may be more of some self-centered thoughts, without much analysis of the story itself. But these feelings were indeed inspired by Fu Xun, Qiao Zhifang, and this story, so I still want to post them here. 1 – "As spectators, the participants avoid the possibility of exposing themselves to the risk of love, and try to discover and protect an emotional relationship that is regarded as pure and real in the highly commercialized entertainment industry products." (Chapter 42) Many readers look for a sense of immersion when reading novels and look for themselves in the article, but I am just the opposite. I am very emotionally isolated in real life, and I am often judged by others as the most indifferent person they have ever seen in their lives. Reading novels is a form of escapism for me. Literary and artistic works allow me to cry and laugh loudly in a world without "myself", and enjoy the pleasure of emotions washing over every sense of my body. So sometimes when I read some novels, I feel extremely disgusted that they remind me of reality and the issues in my own life (such as love, friendship, career, family ties). Perhaps as Qiao Zhifang analyzed in Chapter 42, love and everything else in real life are too dangerous, and I just want to avoid them when looking for pure happiness. Strangely, this book "cp" made me have a lot of deep introspection, but it didn't make me bored. When reading Chapter 19, I paused for a long time on the sentence "Qiao Zhifang's attitude towards feelings is very cold, and he doesn't have much trust in love. However, the attitude towards love and the practice of love are two different things." When reading other novels, what I like to read are those life-and-death entanglements and deep bonds that I cannot experience in real life. I am afraid of seeing words that are more similar to real love, but do not include my attitude towards love. Maybe it's an uncanny valley effect. But when I saw this sentence, I seemed to have found the best explanation for the way I connect with the world - not only strong feelings are called love, but wanting to be good to someone for various reasons and being good to them every day is also love. A year ago, my views on love may have ended here, but now I still resonate strongly with Fu Xun's words: "I thought it was an illusion to think that I liked someone, but in fact, I only like to be 'very happy' with the other person. Once I am not happy, there will be no future." From watching "Friends" to now, I have experienced a breakup with my partner who has been together for five years. The reason is that we are together because we are happy. If we are unhappy, we will not find the strength to continue to be together. The sentence "I don't think people who can only be happy together and cannot be unhappy together can become lovers" sums up my current mentality very well. I haven't figured out whether I want or can find someone with whom I can practice love and experience misfortune, but I have confirmed that I shouldn't choose someone just because I am happy and ignore other issues that need to be overcome together. 2 – "However, now that Qiao Zhifang is employed, even if he completes his Ph. D., He cannot get a tenured teaching position in the school. His personal experience is no longer in sync with the country's lofty ideals, and his identity as an intellectual has become acceptable, powerless, and no longer sacred." (Chapter 28) In addition to thinking about love, I also cherish the thinking about career and society that "cp" brought to me. In fact, I am not confused about relationships. I cherish the family and friendship around me, and my attitude towards romantic love is to take things as they come. But as a migrant worker in my mid-to-late twenties, I am really confused about my career and personal pursuits. Last year, I received my first promotion at work, and jumped from a management consulting sweatshop to a hot AI startup in San Francisco. What I felt firsthand was that everything was "suspicious" to everyone here. The word is very precise, suspect, which is the same word as suspicion in English. In Silicon Valley, the "center of the universe", it is not just academic qualifications and intellectual status that have become suspicious, but also work itself, production itself, and humanity itself. I like my current job, but sometimes I feel confused while doing it. I don't know how to climb the ladder of capitalism, whether it's worth climbing, and whether I have the ability to climb up. Sometimes I think about the path I didn't choose. In the blink of an eye, I am getting farther and farther away from the crossroads where I decided whether to stay in school to study for a PhD in East Asian Culture. I don't know if the teachers who persuaded me to study for a PhD still remember me. In fact, I have somewhat forgotten the pain and joy of writing my graduation thesis. The topic I wrote at that time was why women in the Chinese-speaking world read BL novels. When I saw Qiao Zhifang analyzing the similarities and differences between homosexuality and same-sex attachment, I was suddenly taken back to the days when I went to the library. When I saw the Princeton, Yale and Yenching libraries mentioned in "cp", I thought of many people I used to hang out with on campus but now slowly drift away. I thought of talking to my senior who had just finished her Ph. D. About the topic of a variety show about the East Asian cultural circle that she wanted to do, or listening to my friend's experience of searching for literature across the United States in the dormitory. Watching Qiao Zhifang talk about how difficult it is for PhDs in liberal arts to find teaching positions in North America, I remembered why I didn't choose this path at the time, and also thought of them who are on this path now. After thinking about it, I am actually not that confused anymore. Senior Sister Qiao Zhifang is right, "Anxiety and confusion are the dizziness brought about by freedom, because you actually know that you still have a choice." 3 – "Although I remind myself that the text is fiction, I also want to believe that when the text is completed, a parallel world will be generated. It will flash over and over again in the reader's reading, and even connect with the reader's reality." (Chapter 83, the author has something to say) There were many surprising moments when I read "cp". For example, the theme of the notes I just wrote in the previous chapter was brought up again by the author in the next chapter, or highlighted in what the author said. This feeling is amazing. For example, in Chapter 50, I excerpted the sentence "Electronic photos have a short lifespan", and mentioned it again in Chapter 57. In addition to the resonance of thinking, there is also a wonderful deviation here. My feeling at Chapter 50 is that although electronic photos are eternal, because they are so available, tens of thousands of photos will never be looked at again, and sometimes it is as if they were not taken. But the point of view in Chapter 57 is novel. Indeed, some photos will be deleted or lost in a cloud where the password is forgotten. Similarly, halfway through reading, I also thought about why this book has such a "Jinjiang style" name as "Don't Believe the CP on Hot Searches". Later, when I saw the author's explanation, I thought it was very appropriate. Also, from the beginning, I liked the place names and the memory fragments of our time in this book (such as the epidemic, the news in Venezuela). In the middle section, I also wrote notes such as "Spending so much pen and ink on the name of the brand is probably because I want to be close to reality" and "I really like the way of writing some fictional directors and literary works mixed with real literary and artistic works." After the completion of Chapter 81, the author found something to say that echoed. Because of these details, our world and the world of the story seem to be two very close lines in countless parallel times and spaces. I have watched Edward Yang's "Yi Yi" but could never see the movie starring Fu Xun. It's like I have been to many buildings and libraries of East Asian departments and literature departments in American universities. I may have thought about similar topics with Qiao Zhifang, but he is not someone I can contact through WeChat after a few layers of relationships. I passed through their world, but it was not my world. This feeling is very subtle. Fanfan, thank you for writing such a good story, which made me stop for a few hours in the busy flow of daily life to think about the boundaries between reality and fiction, and let Fu Xun and Qiao Zhifang, two people who do not exist in my world, bring me so much inspiration. Even though they don't exist in my world, I'm glad you do. Although this is shamelessly one-sided, after reading this story, I really feel that you are more like a pen pal I have never met than an abstract "internet author". I'm already looking forward to the next time I read your story.
Finished reading! I like this ending. Everything starts in Berlin and ends in Berlin~ If "Friends" is a soul-stirring history book, you may need more concentration when watching it to understand the chaos and helplessness of people in that background. And "cp" is more like a daily essay that I read casually. Fu Qiao's development is more like the daily weather, and it has truly entered my life. I still remember that when Teacher Xiaofan posted a clip on Weibo, he commented on what kind of story he was looking forward to. I wanted to see Beauty 1. Sure enough, Fu Yangyang and Teacher Qiao had a good eye for me! 😋 I really like what 63 Zuo said. As for the Fu Qiao whom the readers love, who throws away all the halo in each other's eyes, the Fu Qiao who is only in the eyes of the lover is different from the past reunion, there is no crematorium, and there is no so-called misunderstanding and entanglement. Fu Qiao's separation is inevitable when they are young and immature, and the two people have experienced the precipitation of time. Only when they grow up and experience this relationship again will the silent dead wood sprout new branches. While reading the article, I lamented to Fu Qiao countless times that it's not that you don't love me anymore, but that you love me in a different way, with sober indulgence and indulgent attachment, just love boldly like this! Sometimes I think about life, isn't it like this? I couldn't see many things clearly when I was in high school, but now when I look back at work, I realize it's not a big deal. I also like the semi-realistic background. When I have the opportunity, maybe I will go to Beijing or Nanjing again to follow the footsteps of the young lovers and experience reality with different feelings. Looking forward to Teacher Xiaofan's fairyland! See you in the next part [Purple Heart] ps: Can real cp also publish a book... I want...🥺🥺🥺Fu Yangyang Dog Eyes. Jpg
I like this article "cp" very much ~ it is still of high quality! Looking forward to new articles
The plain words and the love that support each other hope that everyone can live a good life both inside and outside the novel [Cat Claw]
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Fu Qiao99~
Happy September~ Teacher Fan, I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival
