"Shanghai Fortress", a passionate and regretful love story

This book was written by the author Jiang Nan when he was in his youth, and it will be mixed with some strong personal emotions. First of all, Yeats's "When You Are Old" is quoted at the very beginning of the book, so that we can see the emotional line of the whole text. So this article should be about a story about a cowardly boy who loves a girl. Love and hate are entangled, heartbreaking. A few years later, when this once cowardly boy stood on the highest podium and received the glory that belonged to him, he realized in the end that the glory came too late. It could only shine on himself, but not on the girl. forehead.

The whole book is based on the alien invasion of the earth. After the New York Fortress and the London Fortress, which are known as the strongest, have successively sunk, the Shanghai Fortress has gradually reached its limit. It is narrated from the perspective of the protagonist Jiang Yang. A passionate but regretful love story. In my opinion, "Shanghai Fortress" is not so much a science fiction novel as it is a love novel cloaked in science fiction, and everything in the novel is just to create a kind of world on the eve of the end of the world. atmosphere to exaggerate the passion and regret of this story.

Jiang Yang asked the general whether Shanghai would sink. The general could not say it directly, but it also hinted that Jiang Yang’s current situation in Shanghai was relatively bad, and after Jiang Yang left, the general listened to Chopin’s "Nocturne" also shows that the general is not optimistic about the current situation in Shanghai, but he should still hold some hope. It was also at this time that the emotional line of the whole story was drawn, which is Jiang Yang's feelings for Lin Lan. Maybe Jiang Yang is the cowardly child that reflects him. Even though he knew that Shanghai might be about to sink, he still only dared to gossip in text messages with Lin Lan, and he only dared to say that when he was drunk. 3 words "I love you". His subconscious was full of unwillingness for his admirer not to like him, but he didn't dare to show it. So when facing Yang Jiannan, he could have been tough for once, but he told himself in his heart that she was someone else's girlfriend. What. Even in the end, he didn't have the courage to truly confess once. Until the end, he could only summarize all his emotions as "good night, sleep well." Ten years later, looking at the expired boarding pass in his hand, he thought of Lin Lan, but choked up and couldn't say a word. I can take out a cigarette and light it, and sit on the windowsill alone in a daze.

I think the tragedy of this story is not that Lin Lan died, but that it spanned 13 years. Jiang Yang vaguely saw what Lin Lan was saying to him in the past, but there seemed to be a thousand years between them. The mountains are like thousands of valleys, and no sound can be heard.

Yes, just like what is said in the book, "You can go crazy occasionally, but you still have to do what you have to do. You are just a small person, and it is rare to be able to do big things, so you must cherish this opportunity. Die A person is not terrible, and it doesn't matter if he dies. But there are some things that cannot be avoided. If the tree has to sprout, people have to grow up. "This is not only what Jiang Nan said to Jiang Yang, but also to himself, and what he said in his heart. That dead child must grow up, face the loneliness in his heart, and do everything possible to overcome it.
