Granted, how to be a writer is complicated, even more famous writers. I remember reading a sentence before, what the writer presents is not necessarily what he wants to present. On the premise of putting aside the censorship and approval and catering to the readers' psychology, this seems to be a false proposition, just like if Harry Potter dies in the end It's not because he already has it in JK's heart (this sentence is easy to get around). I have watched an online course in Yale University's literature class for a semester before. The course focused on a work that was very famous in the United States (I still remember it was a novel written by a black American). The central discussion of the course was that this work One-third of the part was deleted before publication, in other words, the reader read one-third less of the version, and the deleted one-third is likely to be the real center of the novel. If so, why is this famous novel two-thirds popular?
The abridged version of a work is not unusual today. In the case of a writer who only published a part of the chapter that seems to be finished, if this "semi" finished product is admired by the world, will the remaining part still be? Meaningful existence, as a writer, will he choose to silently let the "non-existent" other half disappear, or will he challenge or even tease readers? And in case, the remaining chapters are the second half, and the first half is actually just a foreshadowing, and it is a beautiful foreshadowing of deception. From this, what is the author's true meaning, what is the true meaning of this work, what is the authenticity?
On the other hand, the author's heart is difficult to decipher. For example, in this film, the author told the interviewer several times that his turban was just a turban, without those so-called deep meanings. I heard a joke before: blue curtains, in the language teacher's interpretation, blue represents a gloomy mood, as if telling the author's bitterness; in the author's eyes, the curtains are really blue. In front of the world, a great writer shows only the edge of a shadow in a light, and everything in the dark is black and elusive. At the moment when the reporter and the writer finally parted, "I am not so sure you wanna be me." Maybe this is a cry, if life starts over, he doesn't want to be who he is now. But this is only a matter of opinion, just like Wang Guowei's indifferent passing.
