Dimensional Bookstore

Mr. Chen came to the bookstore to tell Le Jing about the victory in Kaifeng.

Although the old man's temples were already slightly gray, he was still energetic and radiant. When he mentioned this victory, his eyes were surprisingly hot.

Le Jing was stunned. He didn't expect that history would really be changed like this.

"Thank you for the information you provided to the country." Mr. Chen said with emotion: "Nylon has created a large amount of foreign exchange for the country, so that we have money to buy weapons and production equipment from other countries, and it also allows our army to not fight on an empty stomach. Penicillin has saved countless soldiers' lives on the battlefield. The counterfeiting method of Japanese currency has severely impacted the domestic economic system of Japan. Walkie-talkies allow the army to quickly transmit information. And there is also television." Mr. Chen's face was flushed, and he was overjoyed and said: "We have reached a cooperation with an American arms company based on some of the technical information of televisions. They will not only secretly help our army produce Chicago typewriters and other arms, but also send people to the country to guide the construction of our military factories..."

Le Jing looked at the endlessly talking Mr. Chen and couldn't help but smile.

It's great.

The future has completely changed.

He didn't know what the future would be like, and he didn't know how China would win this war.

He didn't know whether Chongqing would become the rear base of the battlefield in the future.

He also didn't know that in the later stage of the war, the National Government would not issue the desperate slogan of "one inch of land, one inch of blood, one hundred thousand young people, one hundred thousand soldiers".

He only knew that at least this time China's war of resistance would not be so desperate.

The Kaifeng victory was the turning point of fate and the hope of countless people.

Le Jing was just a small figure in the background of the great era. He had done everything he could do. Now he was just waiting. Waiting for what kind of answer China would give to fate.

Victor walked flexibly in the streets, because his all-black hair made many people roll their eyes.

Finally, he stopped at the feet of the newspaper boy who was selling newspapers along the street.

"Meow." He called softly. The newspaper boy looked down and saw him, and he was not surprised. He smiled and said, "Come to buy newspapers again?"

Victor nodded obediently. The newsboy took off the purse hanging around his neck, counted out five copper coins and put them in his pocket, then handed the newspaper to the black cat.

The black cat raised its head, bit the newspaper lightly, and left quickly. The newspaper looked at the black cat's back and whispered, "This cat has become a spirit."

... And why is this cat like a dog?

Victor walked into the bookstore, jumped lightly onto the counter, put the newspaper in Le Jing's hand, and said proudly, "Today's newspaper."

Le Jing looked at the cat's head raised high, smiled and touched his chin, and praised, "You really helped a lot, thank you, Victor."

Victor squinted his eyes in enjoyment, but he turned his eyes away from Le Jing, and said proudly, "I just did it when I went out to play."

Le Jing increased the intensity of his praise and finally praised the black cat. He lazily lay on the counter and asked Le Jing, who was unfolding the newspaper and reading it, "What's in today's newspaper?"

The young man paused for more than ten seconds, and his amber eyes suddenly sparkled, like fireworks exploding in the night sky, and the smile on his lips became bigger and bigger: "Xuzhou has been liberated! Shandong has recovered a large area of ​​land, and there is hope for the liberation of the entire Shandong!"

Victor was not interested in human wars. He wagged his tail boredly and asked, "Is there no report about the books in your store today? Didn't the books you and that businessman sell cause a great response?"

No wonder Victor asked this question. It is no exaggeration to say that the books in Le Jing's bookstore caused a sensation in countries around the world.

Although the general background of this time and space is similar to the Republic of China in the history of the earth, there are still many differences in the details. Many celebrities who did not appear in the history of the earth appeared, and many great figures who were famous in the history of the earth disappeared.

For example, Goethe and Lev Tolstoy, two famous figures in the world literary world, do not exist here at all.

However, the profound thoughts reflected in the works of great men have not faded with the change of time and space. Therefore, even now, their works have not been buried, but have been highly sought after. These days, many newspapers, including the "Malaysian Chinese Newspaper" in Le Jing's hand, have conducted in-depth appreciation and analysis of these literary works.

Today, the fourth page of the newspaper reprinted two domestic book appreciations. The author is actually the same person-He Xiaowen, a talented woman from Peking University, who is an acquaintance. Le Jing often sees her articles in newspapers. Her review of "The Legend of Wukong" some time ago made Le Jing applaud. It can be said that this woman is a leader among young people in China.

The objects of these two reviews are Conan Doyle's "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" and Virginia Woolf's "A Room of One's Own".

Because of the differences in time and space, these two authors have never appeared in this time and space. The mystery novel and feminist thought circles have lost two pearls, which is too regrettable.

Fortunately, although it has been many years late, these books will not be buried.

Le Jing is a loyal fan of Sherlock Holmes. Since he came into contact with the Sherlock Holmes series in primary school, he has read the complete works of Sherlock Holmes almost every year. He knows every story by heart, so the first thing he read was He Xiaowen's review of "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes".

"Reading Sherlock Holmes: The Art of the Confrontation between Sin and Wisdom"

When I first read this story, it was at night. It was very quiet outside, and occasionally I could hear the sound of cars. I sat at my desk and entered this world where order and chaos competed, and sin and wisdom merged to create beautiful art. "

"This is a typical British classical mystery novel. As the protagonist, Sherlock Holmes is undoubtedly a weirdo. He has a bad temper, is withdrawn and cold, proud and arrogant, and always tries to pretend to be a ghost. But you have to admit that in the field of reasoning, He is a veritable master, and in my opinion he has even elevated reasoning to an art form!”

"He can identify more than 140 kinds of soot, he can easily distinguish the soil in various places in London, he is familiar with the characteristics of various social classes and occupations, and he can judge the occupation, identity and origin of strangers with just one glance. For example, when he met Watson for the first time, he easily It was determined that Watson was a military doctor who had just retired from the battlefield in Afghanistan. He once said to Watson: 'When you eliminate all impossible situations, what is left, no matter how unbelievable, is the truth.' It is by relying on this concept that he finds the truth time and time again in confusing cases..."

"He is the guardian of justice in London and the fearful nemesis of criminals. I can still clearly remember what he said to Moriarty: 'If you can be guaranteed to be destroyed, then, for the benefit of society, Even if I die together with you, I will be willing to do so. 'From this sentence, I can read Holmes's upholding of justice, his insistence on order, and his defense of the law. He is a truly great man of justice!"

The article then extends to how people should learn from Sherlock Holmes's spirit and uphold justice in today's collapsed social order.

Le Jing didn't realize that much truth from it. In his opinion, mystery novels are purely an intellectual feast. He enjoys the pleasure of peeling off the cocoon and solving the mystery together with the detective to find the real murderer.

If He Xiaowen's analysis of "The Sherlock Holmes" is too straight-forward and fair, then her analysis of "A Room of One's Own" is sharp and vivid.

First of all, the title is very sharp "Reading in a Room of One's Own: Fuck the Three Obediences and Four Virtues"

"Recently, I read "A Room of One's Own" by Virginia Woolf. It is no exaggeration to say that my ideological realm was shattered and reorganized, and my whole person began to be reborn. I don't know that Virginia Woolf Who is Ms. Nia Woolf? But at this moment, I feel that our thoughts are the same and we are spiritual confidants!”

"Woolf said that if a woman wants to write, she must have a room of her own and an income of five hundred pounds a year. I deeply believe that if a woman wants to be independent, she must be financially wealthy and not be controlled by others."

"Since ancient times, women have been in an awkward position in the literary world. Throughout Chinese history, there have been a few female poets who have appeared briefly, but they are just a foil to the patriarchal society. Men despise women. In their opinion, the place suitable for women is The kitchen is a bedroom and a home, it shouldn’t be an office or study anyway.”

"In the traditional patriarchal society, a good woman should not dress up too beautifully - this is something only irregular women do. A qualified wife should be dignified and decent. She should take care of the children and serve her parents-in-law at home. With her husband, as for work, that is a man’s business. If a woman has gained some fame in a certain field, this is her job. For those men, it is simply an unforgivable crime. They think that such a woman is dishonest and shameless. And if this woman unfortunately has a few male friends, then their curse on you will rise to the level of a slut. A whore, a bitch. Yes, I am such a woman, a woman who grew up in a male-dominated society."

"I was born in a traditional gentry family. Influenced by the new trend of thought, my parents believed that girls need to study for several years to find a good husband. So I was lucky enough to study all the way to high school. But in my second year of high school, my parents did not allow me to continue studying. After I got there, they asked me to drop out of school and go back to get married. Without my knowing it, I got a fiancé—a son from a well-matched gentry family.”

"So I made the boldest and most rebellious move in my life - I ran away from home. You can imagine the pressure I faced at that time. My parents directly published a newspaper and severed ties with me, and my relatives all said that I I ran away with a man. My fiancé’s family said I was a shameless bitch and that I destroyed their family. They wanted to sue the government and have me detained. They were angry because in their eyes, I was just a window-dressing thing. Now this thing had a mind of its own and was out of their control. How can they not be angry when they feel they have been provoked? "

"Here I would like to thank several of my friends in school for their support. Without them, I would have starved to death on the streets. At the same time, I would also like to thank Mr. Zhao Zhuoxuan for advancing my college tuition. Now, I can accept higher education education, and can rely on royalties Supporting myself is all possible without the help of my friends. Many of them are men, but they are all open-minded and tolerant good people. It is they who keep me from being completely disappointed with men and make me understand that I will never be disappointed. It won’t be one person.”

"What are the three obediences and the four virtues? I think many women have already memorized it by heart and practice it. The "three obediences" refer to obeying the father before marrying, obeying the husband when married, and obeying the son after the husband dies; the "four virtues" refer to women's virtues, women's words, women's appearance, Women are red. This is the bondage given to us women by the feudal patriarchal society. It is the prison given to women by society. But the funny thing is that many women have become accustomed to it. They are used to dancing with shackles and are accustomed to life in a cage, so they spontaneously became the jailers of the cage and loyally guarded all the 'criminals' in the cage once any 'criminal' wanted to escape, such as me. , then what awaits her first is not the condemnation of men, but the slander and curse of women. This has been the case since ancient times. "

"Here, I borrow a sentence from Ms. Woolf's book to ask everyone: 'Why do men drink wine and women drink water? Why do one sex enjoy all the glory and wealth, while the other is so shabby?' We Women gave birth to men, we are the ones who created men, why are we so humble and inferior?”

"One of the signs of measuring the degree of civilization of a country is to look at the status of women in the country. The more civilized the country, the higher the status of women. On the contrary, the more feudal the country, then the women are all men without exception. property and slaves. I am a lucky enough woman. Man, I am able to enjoy a room of my own in this patriarchal society where feudal power is still strong to engage in the writing career I love, but there are still many women who are enslaved and oppressed like cattle and horses, and what is even more sad is that Yes, they don’t feel oppressed.”

"It is not easy to obtain any rights. It is undoubtedly more difficult for women to fight for the same rights as men in China, a large country that has practiced feudal etiquette for thousands of years. I have been mentally prepared and determined to dedicate my youth and life."

"But my power alone is too small. Now that the country is in crisis and the Japanese invaders are raging, I hereby ask all women who have awakened like me to stand up and contribute their own strength to the country's independence and national awakening! Let men Let’s see what we women are capable of, and let us use our blood and sweat to fight for more rights for future generations of women!”

"Finally, I would like to end this article with a sentence from Mr. Lu Xun: 'I hope Chinese youth will get rid of the air conditioning and just move up, without having to listen to the words of those who give up on themselves. Those who can do things will do things, and those who can speak out will speak out. If you have a little enthusiasm, make a sound. Divide light. Just like a firefly, we can shine a little in the dark. We are Chinese women and we are also Chinese youth.

Le Jing closed the newspaper, took a deep breath, and remained silent for a long time.

Victor, who had not received an answer for a long time, swung his tail impatiently, stood up, took the newspaper from the young man's hand with one paw, glanced at it for a few times, and then yawned boredly.

"Looking at you smiling so happily, I thought it was something." Victor climbed down again without interest, "Both of these books are so boring."

"Is it boring?" The young man closed his eyes and smiled, "No, it's not boring at all."

"My heart is racing and my thoughts are running wild." The young man opened his eyes, his eyes sparkling. "This respectable lady has sounded the clarion call for women's liberation. We are watching history."

The tyrannical machine of war has created an excellent opportunity for women to enter the stage of history.

When a large number of women fill the jobs left by men, when women also join the country's post-war reconstruction, when women are active in all walks of life as indispensable human resources and have a certain say, when women create a lot of wealth for the country Finally, they will discover a truth: the economic base determines the superstructure.

The author has something to say:

The books reviewed by He Xiaowen in this article are also two of my Amway books.

I am a huge Sherlock Holmes fan and have loved Sherlock Holmes since I was in elementary school. Well, I’m not afraid of your jokes. When I was in elementary school, my dream was to become a private detective in the future. It wasn’t until many years later that I learned that private detectives are illegal in China (…)

I am a fan of the original work of Sherlock Holmes. Although the BBC remake of "Sherlock" is also very good-looking, and the subwoofer of the volume is also very good, personally I still think that the original work has more flavor. It's like I read the "Harry Potter" novels but didn't watch the movies much.

I feel that once a literary work is turned into a film or television, it will be a blow to my imagination. If there are no movies and TV series, I can have all kinds of imagination. Once it is turned into a film and television, no matter how perfect the filming is, I will be disappointed in one aspect. It can be said that I am the kind of original writer that film and television companies hate the most＿（：з”∠）＿
