Chapter 199 This is Art
In life, we all have to find ways to overcome and cover up our weaknesses. When a person always looks at himself through the eyes of others, he will become very sensitive to the attitudes of others and even become pretentious.
Essentially, what troubled the old monk was not the length of his nose, but the gazes of others. Therefore, he could only be truly liberated if he got rid of his inner obsession with other people's comments.
Just like myself now.
Because of the failure of his business, he was too afraid of the eyes of his relatives and family, and he became extremely sensitive.
Maybe some people did discuss this matter behind his back or in front of him, but does he really want to be like the old monk, caring about other people's selfishness and what others think, and thus hide in this apartment and waste his whole life in decadence?
On second thought, his wife's attitude towards him was often the same as before. Even before his business failed, they would often talk about divorce or separation during small quarrels.
However, during the month when he failed, they had an argument, but he never mentioned this matter. He even often asked whether he had enough funds.
In fact, it’s not his wife and parents who have changed, but his own mentality that is wrong.
Just like this old monk, he cared too much about what others thought of him, and blindly let himself fall into pain, creating a prison for himself.
So we have to admit that the author of this novel has very high intentions!
Through just over 3,000 words, he criticizes some social phenomena and expresses the ideas he wants to convey. This is a very brilliant writing style!
This is no longer within the scope of fiction!
This is art.
The art of satire!
Li Qinglin never expected that he would read a novel that deeply shocked him on such an entertaining website!
However, I don’t know if there are other readers who can accept the style of this novel?
Thinking of this, Li Qinglin clicked on the comment section.
In an instant, more than a hundred book reviews emerged in the comment section, which originally had 0 comments.
“This novel is a bit surprising!”
"Yes, I even read it three times. The first time I was a little confused, but I seemed to understand a little bit of the meaning. The second time I thought the old monk was stubborn. The third time I couldn't help but think of myself. After all, I can easily be affected by other people's opinions and feel uneasy."
"It's truly surprising. Whether it's the onlookers putting their own pleasure on the old monk's nose, or the old monk's concern for other people's opinions causing him distress and confusion throughout his life, both of these actions expose the evil of human nature and the social trend of catering to others' opinions."
"I don't know if I'm over-interpreting this, but when the old monk saw his nose grow back, he didn't feel like all his previous efforts to shorten his nose were in vain. Instead, he felt very happy!
It is conceivable that the behavior of each of us, whether intentional or unintentional, may have a great impact on others!
Especially in today's Internet age, we can express our opinions and comments on anything to anyone at any time and anywhere, and it can easily spread to every corner and be known to everyone!
At this time, perhaps we should be more careful about what we say. If we don't understand the true situation, we shouldn't express our opinions easily. Information spreads quickly, so we should be patient and wait until we understand the facts before expressing our opinions.
“I agree with the above opinion!”
"This novel has such a profound idea! I have to share it on my WeChat Moments!"
"Me too. This kind of good article shouldn't be buried. It can influence more people!"
…
For a time, many readers began to reprint and share the article.
There are even many readers who have started to spend money without hesitation to reward this novel that has amazed and shocked them.
As more people shared it, even those who didn’t even know about Tomato Reading and didn’t like reading novels noticed the article “The Nose”.
Although the name seems ordinary, everyone who forwarded and shared it was praising it and expressing admiration for it.
When everyone saw it, they were amazed at how such a simple-named novel could make people so amazed.
So many people clicked on the link out of strong curiosity and naturally finished reading this novel of only more than 3,000 words.
Then, he was stunned.
Re-brush again.
"Fuck! Isn't this the old monk's current state?"
"This is the shortest and most impressive novel I have ever read!"
"The author is amazing! This novel has a profound meaning!"
"Damn it! I actually saw through life from a novel? I need to cheer up! How can I deny myself because of other people's opinions?"
"That's right, don't easily deny others, and don't let other people's opinions trap you in a swamp of self-doubt. This author is truly amazing! It's a shame he only has one novel; I hope he can publish more in the future!"
"Me too. I don't usually read online novels, but I want to read the author's. It's short but meaningful. Download Tomato Reading and follow me! I hope the author can publish the next book as soon as possible!"
"Yes, I've already forwarded it, followed it, and given it a tip. I hope the author will release the next one soon. I'm looking forward to it!"
"Me too!"
…
As readers continue to forward, share, interact and reward the novel, the novel called "Nose" becomes more and more popular.
The most humane thing about Tomato Reading is that good works will never be buried.
Normally, if a work receives a good response in the background, there is almost no need for manual recommendation. The big data in the background will automatically retain the work based on its quality and increase its exposure accordingly.
As the popularity of "The Nose" continued to increase, its exposure continued to rise, and its popularity continued to climb at a terrifying rate.
In the end, even the head of the Tomato Reading Operations Department noticed it.
The Imperial Capital...
Tomato Reading Company.
Operations Department...
"Boss, the popularity of this short story called 'The Nose' has skyrocketed. Is this a malicious attempt to manipulate the data?"
"Let me see. Generally speaking, data manipulation should be detected by our system's backend."
After hearing the report from his staff, Operations Manager Li Yang sat down at his desk and opened the novel called "The Nose".
Five minutes later.
Completed reading of the novel.
He was in a brief daze in front of the computer.
Just as his subordinate was about to speak, he slid the mouse, clicked to the beginning of the article, and started browsing again.
After reading it again, Li Yang felt his scalp tingling and was deeply shocked. He could only utter two words, "Brilliant!"
The subordinates beside him saw the boss's expression and frowned slightly, "Boss, what do you mean by this?"
What's so clever?
Are the data manipulation methods sophisticated?
Or a novel?
No way?
