Synopsis

In 2026, a plague rewrote the rules of human survival - the happier a person is, the lighter he becomes. Smiling makes you lose a gram of weight, laughing makes you lift your feet off the ground, and true happiness makes you float into space forever. Three years later, the world turned into gray-white ruins. Entertainment is banned, smiles are outlawed, and everyone wears an "emotional suppression ring" and lives like a tame animal. People line up to enter the "Grief Healing Center" and trade crying for weight and numbness for safety. We invented a word called "meteors" - the dead who were extremely happy and then floated into space. They slowly rotated in the orbit of the earth and became an eternal monument to this plague. Lu Fu was once a genius comedy screenwriter, but now he is the coldest "emotional purifier". He suppressed the smiling little girl floating on the ceiling, and also personally destroyed his wife's ability to feel happiness with a spray gun - she survived, but became a hollow person. He thought this was maturity: suppressing happiness with pain, exchanging numbness for safety. Until he met Xiaocai, the only person in this gray world who was still smiling. She tells him a dangerous secret: happiness is not a disease, fear of happiness is. When the whole world is emasculating our ability to be happy in the name of "safety", Lu Fu must make a choice: continue to live like a corpse, or burn up like a meteor? This is not a story about optimism. This is a question about cost. If you've ever asked yourself late one night: "When was the last time I was truly happy?" - This story is for you.

Reader comments

Niubi I feel that the author can write prose instead of novels. I have read two of the author's novels, one is Qiguan Zhenhun and the other is this novel. Although I read it very quickly and only briefly went through it, the novel Seven Coffins of Souls is quite interesting. The advantage is that the plot is very tense and the writing is very delicate. I didn't see the connotation because I read it too fast, but it describes people's concept of life and death, and the foreshadowing is also very good The disadvantage is that the subject matter is relatively niche, and the word count is 370,000 words Although this novel only has less than ten chapters, I can see the impact the author has on the human body of the idea of supremacy of happiness in the current society. I borrowed this novel to criticize the idea of supremacy of happiness in the current society. In the end, the author stated in the article that he must be able to achieve happiness while also insisting on himself and being loyal to his self-restraint. It is seriously not at the level of writing a novel. Moreover, like the first novel, the overall plot is full of tension It reminded me of Mr. Lu Xun. Although he did not say the exact words, I think he supported the view that words are used for criticism. It is used to dissect society, criticize national character, and criticize the "disease" in the national spirit. The purpose is to awaken the righteousness in human nature Same as the introduction to Marx's "Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right" Of course, critical weapons cannot replace the criticism of weapons. Material power can only be destroyed with material power; but once the theory has mastered the masses, it will also become material power. As long as the theory convinces people, it can control the masses; and as long as the theory is thorough, it can convince people. The so-called thoroughness means grasping the root of things. But the essence of man is man himself. It means Just writing articles and criticism (the weapon of criticism) cannot replace the real revolution (the criticism of the weapon) with real swords and guns; But once a good theory/good writing is accepted by the masses, it can become a real force that changes the world. Although this novel only has less than ten chapters, it gave me some very shallow insights Finally, thank you to the author!
