From "The Silence of the Lambs" to "The Educational Field of Psychological Sin"
, human nature is inherently good, which is a white lie.
So that people can forgive those sins beyond measure.
Sighed and said: Alas!
He was also kind in the first place, a sleeping baby!

Chinese suspense novels have no "realm" because they pay too much attention to the plot and ignore human nature. In fact, the good and evil of human nature has been the first topic of discussion about human nature since the first day humans began to pay attention to themselves. So that the discussion itself has become part of human nature. In all things in the world, what kind of creature would look at the heart and analyze the instinct in such a way? ! This is probably one of the reasons why humans can become the spirit of all things.
There have always been differences and differences in the standards of good and evil due to differences in regions and cultures. Unfortunately, our country uses a dichotomous method to divide and judge good and evil. There is no transition between good and evil, and there is no middle ground. It’s like watching movies when we were young. Whenever a character appears, children will always eagerly ask their parents, are they good people or bad people? And parents will always give the answer easily. Good guy or big bad guy. This is clearly idealistic bias. The simple division of irresponsibility finally pushes the good man to the top of the sage, absolutely flawless. And the bad guys are useless and can only be smeared for thousands of years.
The good news is that our ideas are progressing. Once upon a time, the good people in the film and television works are no longer all the righteous faces of Zhu Shimao, and the bad people are no longer all the wretchedness and hideousness of Chen Peisi. People finally understand that good and evil are actually like a gossip diagram, with black in white and white in black. A good person may also make mistakes due to arbitrariness and self-will, and a traitor may also be a dutiful son or loyal to love.
Speaking of this truth, the vast majority of people will say: We have already understood!
Do we really get it? really? Then why did "Lust, Caution" lead to a huge crowd of abusers on the Internet because a revolutionary young woman fell in love with a traitor? Li An was accused of being a traitor and even Tang Wei was forced to disappear from our sight?
Good and evil are definitely not so clear-cut, they are actually composed of a complex series of cause-and-effect relationships. Check out the book "Educational Field" and you will really understand.

Before, there was no such book in China. I only saw such an objective concept of good and evil in the book "Silence of the Lambs". The book does not label anyone as good or evil, but only through their words, deeds and psychology to explore the reasons for the formation of their inner world. The author Thomas Harris intends to repeat a truth through this narrative method, both:
There is no absolute good and no absolute evil in the world.
The book portrays a murderous demon king "Mr. Pi". He brutally murdered women and plucked their skins to make clothes. He was such a cold-blooded person, but he loved his dog extremely, and his original motive for killing was due to unfortunate childhood, premature loss of maternal love, and a strong need for warmth. After not being satisfied, he finally chose a perverted way of obtaining. This heinous person is actually very pitiful.

After watching "The Field of Education", I would like to thank the writer Remy, who told us a series of silent stories of domestic lambs with such a wonderful narrative. And through the popularity of the "Psychological Crime" series of novels, it also seems to imply that the Chinese people are finally beginning to trace the origin and pay attention to the causes of good and evil and their complex development process, rather than just focusing on the results.
Every criminal in the indoctrination field is not simply a regular crime caused by alcohol, sex, wealth, and gas. Clues can ultimately be traced back to their childhood trauma to varying degrees. They are all good tainted by evil, and those who do evil in the name of good have also committed unforgivable crimes.
An evil seed does not necessarily germinate in the first spring, but may be buried in the heart for many years. Once it blooms sinful flowers, what we should most investigate is not the seed, but the person who sowed the seed.

Only by acknowledging the complexity of good and evil and removing the burden of traditional good and evil relations can we finally understand the true humanity.
