Athena's Herd of Elephants

So well written... The story originated in a small village many years ago, where a villain destroyed the budding goodwill. It ends with the warriors who do not succumb to fate, and the most critical part actually comes from one of the malicious intentions of the year. Athena's Elephants, I didn't quite understand what the title meant at first, but I suddenly understood it after seeing Guo Guo's explanation. It was really touching. I was worried that it would have the kind of hopeful yet despairing ending of a Korean movie, so I kept on tense. Fortunately, it was he! In just 29 chapters, it tells a quite complete story, starting from the suffocating Luo family, depicting an irresponsible father who is also responsible for murder, a naughty grandmother who favors boys over girls, a seemingly marginal cleaner (really?), And a well-behaved, sensible but somewhat pitiful little girl. Then with the disappearance of the little girl, the police, Qiu Yang, Xu Yinzhang and his wife, Luo Sanya, Li Ting and Wu Xiaomin appeared one after another, slowly revealing the truth about the disappearance case. However, from the perspective of the police, even though the reader has a God's perspective, there are still many places that do not make sense logically. By the way, this is Jinjiang after all. At the beginning, I really thought that Zhu Guoliang had turned into a ghost... So when the police questioned the voice call later, I still thought, alas! This is Jinjiang! Nothing is impossible! Of course, it turns out that I am indeed too young hahahahaha For me, it's really difficult to watch so many people competing against each other in such a short space of time. I can barely remember their names, but the story line is quite clear! I admire how he handles such complicated interpersonal relationships, as if it really happened. From the moment the first domino falls, it is destined that those who have participated in it or are about to enter it will not be able to escape. The scene of rescuing Guoguo in the end was tense and touching. Although everyone (except the pair of gambling dogs) had their own selfish motives before, Li Ting wanted to avenge her teacher, Qiu Yang and Xu Yinzhang wanted to kidnap Guoguo in exchange for money. Although Luo Sanya's selfishness was different from Guoguo's. It had little to do with Guo Guo, but she had been entangled with Dead Laoden for so long. She was clearly stuck in the quagmire, but she kept swallowing it for the ridiculous reason of "wanting to give her child a complete home." This was also the main reason why she was unable to pick up Guo Guo on time. Despite this, when the crisis really came, they burst out with a light far beyond ordinary people. Even if they were just ordinary living beings struggling in the world to anyone in the early stage, nothing special, they were so representative, representing people's selfishness and selflessness. The story of the elephant herd, the powerful leader guides the direction, the young elephants are protected by everyone in the middle, and there is another one walking at the end to protect everyone's safety. It's like telling the story of Li Ting's life. She was led by her teacher at the beginning, and she was the elephant in the middle. Later, when she reunited with Luo Sanya, she became the powerful leader. At the last moment, she was willing to go to the end for the little elephant that represented hope and the future. Of course, this is not just about Li Ting. Looking at the entire novel or the entire society, is this not the case for the disadvantaged groups in society, including the female group? Although we don't know each other, there is an invisible link connecting you and me. Some people are the leaders of the elephant herd, some have hopes that have not yet grown up, and some will always step forward at critical moments to hold up the sky with their not-so-tall bodies.

Li Ting is an out-and-out martyr, but originally she just wanted to live a smooth life. Li Ting, a young boy who studies hard and is among the best in her grades, chooses freedom after being deceived into having no hope of getting into high school. After being repeatedly captured by leeches and brought back to the leech nest, the wolf cub Li Ting, who refused to admit defeat, bought his freedom with a kitchen knife. In the years that followed, Li Ting seized every opportunity for advancement. She taught herself and learned fluent English. She seized the opportunity of her ex-boyfriend to learn programming, and used this as a threshold to master hacking skills. She was self-reliant, learned a driver's license, and also learned exquisite cooking skills. Originally, the rest of the wolf cub's life would be boundless green fields. She could meet her sisters in life. When she has enough energy, she might become the next Teacher Wang. She would be a tenacious grass that will grow again in the spring breeze. But hell is empty and demons are in the world. Luo Chusheng murdered Ning Ning, and Teacher Wang also chose to commit suicide out of the self-blame and pain of losing his daughter. Li Ting's fate changed since then. If Teacher Wang had not committed suicide, Li Ting's fate might have been different. At least Li Ting would have had a home and a branch to rely on after leaving the leech nest. She would have completed high school with the help of Teacher Wang, and then graduated from college and even a master's degree with her own efforts. She would have a sister Ning Ning who loves each other. In the future, she will have many sisters Xiao Ting. How can I not hate her and not feel regretful. Li Ting committed martyrdom and shouldered her sins alone. In her plan, she bore the hatred between Teacher Wang and Ning Ning alone, but she planned the rest of her life for Shanshan. He mistakenly believed that he and Guo Guo had encountered a bear. Even though he was seriously injured, he chose to stay and confront the bear. It was hard not to cry when he coaxed Guo Guo not to look back and move forward.

A very good suspenseful group portrait of women, with multiple parallel lines, suitable for film adaptation

Li Ting's ending is such a pity, but it seems to be more or less expected. I strongly recommend that it be adapted into a film and TV show.

Tingting, I want to hold your hand and lead you to save Ningning; Tingting, I want to hold your injured cheek and take you to the best high school; Tingting, I want to take away Qiu Guofu's knife so that you don't die of serious injuries; Tingting, I really want to give you a happy and fulfilling life. I want you to use your talents and become famous as a genius hacker; I want you to live happily with your teachers and friends without having to risk everything for revenge. Tingting, I love you so much, you are so calm and brave, dragging evil people into hell with pain and hatred. But I want you to be happy even more.

Ah... I cried to death! ! In fact, Li Ting has always wanted to die, and he didn't dare to commit suicide while carrying the only person in the world who made him feel loved.

I really like this article. The author is very neat when introducing new characters. There is no verbose prefix, such as "xxx's wife xx". The person's name is written directly. The relationship between the characters is unlocked as the plot progresses. When I first read the beginning, I thought Yan was Luo's third...

Author, I feel so uncomfortable [crying] Can you write an if line to give Tingting a perfect life [crying]

I cried when I read it, this book is really good!

Hey, I vaguely guessed that this might be the best ending.
