? Fortress Besieged is a satirical novel by Mr. Qian Zhongshu, which occupies a place in the history of modern literature in China and is praised as "new Confucianism" by literary circles. Fortress Besieged not only depicts the city of marriage for us, but also hides the city of life and career. Together, these three cities form a complete besieged city.

? First, the city of life

1, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Because he wrote a sincere condolence letter to his fiancee who died of illness, his fiancee's father felt that Fang Hung-chien was a caring and just person and decided to fund him to study abroad and continue his studies. Fang Hung-chien, who only cares about traveling, is not only ignorant, but also has little money to return to China. In order to explain to my family and my father-in-law, I paid for a fake doctorate. After returning to Shanghai, afraid of exposure, he told his father-in-law to keep a low profile, but he couldn't hold back his face. He not only published his diploma in the newspaper, but also held a grand banquet. Fang Hung-chien doesn't like socializing, so he has to toast with his father-in-law.

Life is like this. When you accept the benefits of others, you must pay something accordingly. There is never a free lunch in this world, and all gifts have to pay a price. Don't accept gifts from others easily, and don't be greedy for petty advantages. What you want depends on your own efforts, and you can live your true self without being controlled by others.

2. Do things honestly.

On the boat back home, Fang Hung-chien fell in love with Miss Bao, who knows how to play with feelings. The ship is getting closer and closer to Hong Kong. Miss Bao, who has a fiance, deliberately alienates him, but he is bent on pleasing him. It was not until he got off the boat that he saw Miss Bao jump into the arms of a bald and obese middle-aged man that he woke up like a dream.

Be swayed by considerations of gain and loss, Fang Hung-chien began to eat and watch movies with Miss Su, a college classmate. But he dare not admit that he likes Miss Su's cousin Tang Xiaofu. On the surface, he went to see Miss Su, but in essence, he wanted to know and make a phone call to express his confession.

Miss Su, who likes Fang Hung-chien, suddenly feels cheated. She called Fang Hung-chien angrily and told her cousin about Fang Hung-chien and Miss Bao. Tang Xiaofu broke up with Fang Hung-chien angrily.

Because of his indecision, Fang Hung-chien was lovelorn and could no longer live in his father-in-law's house.

Be honest with emotional problems, don't be vague, be firm, like it means like it, don't like it means don't like it, make it clear that indecision will only harm yourself.

Second, the cause of the city

1, there are no eternal enemies in the world.

Messi is an old classmate who likes Miss Su. Seeing that Miss Su likes to associate with Fang Hung-chien, she deliberately refused a job invitation from a mainland university and recommended Fang Hung-chien to the president, so that Fang Hung-chien could leave Shanghai and become Miss Su's boyfriend.

It's just that the plan hasn't changed so fast. Feeling cheated by Fang Hung-chien, Miss Su hastily got engaged to someone else and published it in the newspaper to tell the world. Simmton, who is tolerant of others, feels that he is a fallen person in the world. He took the initiative to talk to Hung-chien and agreed to be a teacher at a mainland university.

You see, there are no eternal enemies in the world. Misfortune tests the sincerity of friends. Only when you are in danger can you see who your true friends are, and your rival in love can become good friends.

2. If young people don't work hard, old people will be sad.

Fang Hung-chien, who arrived in a college, was asked by the principal that his diploma was fake and disliked him, and arranged for him to teach a "moral class" that had never been offered. Guilty Fang Hung-chien knew that the headmaster was giving him a hard time. In order to keep his hard-won job, he had to bite the bullet and teach. Without the corresponding knowledge accumulation and teaching materials, he had to take the introductory outline borrowed from the library for class, and the effect can be imagined. Nobody listens carefully at all, and students always play tricks on him.

There are not a few people like Fang Hung-chien in life. When it comes to hard work, they don't work hard, just muddle along every day, don't want to suffer from learning and struggle, enjoy themselves, and finally suffer from mediocrity. As the saying goes, "If you don't want to study hard, you have to live hard."

3. Gains and losses in interpersonal relationships

Because of his mediocrity, Fang Hung-chien dislikes leaders, colleagues and students at school. President Gao turned a blind eye to Messi's face and didn't fire him. However, people are not as good as heaven, and Fang Hung-chien, who wants to live with shame, will lose the last straw. Messi was found walking with his heroine in the evening, and the whole school thought Messi was misbehaving. Messi resigned and left school the next day, knowing that she was untenable.

As a good friend of Messi, Fang Hung-chien was also implicated. Everyone thinks that "birds of a feather flock together", and Fang Hung-chien is certainly not a good person. Therefore, he is embarrassed at work. In a blink of an eye, a semester ended, and all the teachers except Fang Hung-chien received letters of renewal. Fang Hung-chien had no other choice but to go back to Shanghai in despair to find a job.

People can't live without interpersonal relationships in society. Individuals are like "fish" and interpersonal relationships are like "water". If you want to play freely in the water, you have to have skills. It's normal to encounter troubles, just how to control them. You can't haggle over every ounce about people, you can't be too smart about yourself, and how to look at the problem from the other side's point of view, so that you can live comfortably and others can live smoothly is all knowledge.

Life is varied and interpersonal relationships are complicated. If you want to survive in society, you must learn how to do things. However, without society, everyone cannot live alone. In life, don't expose people's shortcomings, deal with people everywhere, and live more easily. Of course, sometimes if you are not careful, you will be unconsciously calculated by others, which is impossible to prevent.

Third, the city of marriage.

There is a good saying: "Love is a matter for two people, and marriage is a matter for two families". If you want to get married and start a family, you have to consider each other's family.

Sun Roujia is getting closer and closer to Fang Hung-chien on the boat at school and in his daily life at school. In order to stop others from gossiping, he pretended to marry Fang Hung-chien.

It's just that falling in love is easier than getting along. When it comes to the daily necessities of life, everything becomes insignificant, small things become big things, and then they can only be forced to separate.

Sun Roujia and Fang Hung-chien quarrel more and more, but after each quarrel, one side always gives in because of love.

Human nature is complex, and no matter how deep the feelings are, they can't stand long-term quarrels. Love is like a deposit. The more you save, the less you save. Finally, Fang Hung-chien and Sun Roujia had to go their separate ways and find their own way out.
