I have been looking for the key for years, but the door is always open!

Netflix recommended a movie "White Tiger", I like suspenseful crime movies, so I clicked and watched it.

However, I did not expect that the two-hour movie was over, so I bought this dilapidated and no longer published paper original novel on Tmall at an increased price. It took a day and a half to finish reading.

The short description of the story is that a "low" Indian servant, after awakening, broke through the "chicken coop" that fettered the bottom of society, killed his master and gained freedom. The white tiger, the animal born with only one in this generation, mirrors the protagonist.

A good literary work will make people feel empathetic after reading it, and it will seem like a juicy betel nut after chewing, and the aftertaste is endless.

Think about it carefully, everyone has a chicken coop above their head, and it is a chain of Russian cages. For example, I used to work in the programmer industry. I think the chicken coop in the programmer industry is a pie drawn by the company.

The year-end award is a chicken coop. Many people endure the hate job of waiting for the year-end award. The company understands that it is delayed. Try to let the cage cover as long as possible and wait for the next cage to be ready.

The option is a chicken coop, and it must be closed for at least four years. Moreover, this skill has no cooling time, and can be used continuously for four years and then four years, and the person who controls it can't move at all.

Of course, the biggest chicken coop is given to us by society, and that is the house. Social values ​​tell us that we must have a house when we get married, otherwise it will be white prostitution; of course, it is clearly written on the social blackboard that if there is no school district room, children will not have a school; in short, most people donate half of their entire family’s income to get the income. Instead, the house is just a chicken coop over their heads.

So, is it really possible to leave a nasty job? Can I get married without buying a house?

I think whether to break through the chicken coop depends on my inner feelings.

People who have been in the cage think that the cage is also good. It is good to have food and drink and entertainment.

And the ones who are sad are those who are white tigers who have the intention to break through the cage, but they can only stay in the Russian cage and are tightly locked.

It's like this is how the book describes the white tiger in the cage:

"It walked back and forth behind the fence. The black stripes and the white fur illuminated by the sun kept dangling through the gaps in the dark bamboo fence.... It walked in the same straight line over and over again-from the bamboo Walk from one end of the fence to the other, then turn around and walk back in the same rhythm, as if you were caught in an evil spirit.

It uses this walking method to hypnotize itself, because only in this way can it endure this cage"

Of course, it takes a price to break through the chicken coop, but for some people, it is worth any price to break through the chicken coop. The protagonist can kill someone, become a fugitive, and even hurt the whole family. Because in his heart, freedom is more than everything, even if he is free from slavery, he only exists for one day, one hour, and one minute. He will never regret it.

And if you choose to break through the chicken coop, once you decide, don’t think about the cost, don’t let yourself stay in the chicken coop against your will and justify yourself. Any reason attributed to the objective conditions is just to paralyze the placebo of staying in the chicken coop.

Just as the poem read before the hero decided to kill the owner:

"I have been looking for the key for years, but the door is always open!"
