Wei Zhijian saw through this story profoundly, the hero - squeezed out the woodcutter's toys, let him be a free labor force, and made toys to death! The male protagonist - drained the female teacher's savings, asked her to marry him, and then had two children! The hero, from start to finish, what did he pay? ! Pretty much, act as a courier! ! If "The Woodcutter" - no toys, what can you give away? If the female teacher has no savings, what can she use to buy stationery for local children? Anybody, you, have you ever spent money on a stranger? Bankruptcy! No return! Do you know? Will not! No one will! If there are no woodcutters and no teachers on that island! If woodcutters and teachers are like real people, real! The male protagonist who does not have a letter will be trapped on that island forever!
