Liang Shiqiu said that it is great for a poet to live in history, but it is a joke to be your neighbor. Indeed, "there are only twenty or thirty people in the social circle in the English countryside." Who doesn't know that there is an old girl named Jane, who is under the fence and eloped with others, so she can't find her husband's family; maybe some people know that she writes novels, but This is more likely to become a negative example of other girls who educate little girls to keep their wives and find a husband. He never married, died young, and yearned for love and happiness all his life, but he never got it. If it is a slow-thinking and insensitive person, it may not be too hard to bear, but our incomparably witty and sensitive Jane, the last 20 years of her life, what a painful torment. Jane would rather be herself, or be her Elizabeth? Let Jane choose again, she will marry the slightly dull Mr. Wisley, live in a manor called excellent prospects by her mother, and have a husband and a child. Or become a writer who brings infinite literary heritage to the world? I selfishly wish Jane could still be Jane. What a bleak world it would be without those great poets, writers, philosophers and scientists! As Wang Xiaobo said, people are negative entropy animals, and there are always people who do not follow the rules and pursue ideals instead of being trapped in reality. The punishment for rebellion in today's world is not as severe as in the 18th century, but becoming Jane Austen requires not only courage, but also sacrifice.
