Review of "The Three-Body Problem" Chapter 1

It took more than a month to finish reading "The Three-Body Problem". If it weren't for the storyline, I would definitely not be able to watch it. What is astrophysics? What organization? What star planet? Various plans? Silly, I can’t tell the difference!

I still remembered the characters who appeared more often, so I sorted it out and formed a mind map, and the entire story network became clear.

Ye Wenjie, before her father was persecuted, she should have lived a very happy life. Her family was harmonious, she was smart, and she was loved by all. However, her fate suddenly changed. Her father was censored and her mother abandoned her. Then he was framed by the editor. He probably lost all hope for mankind, so he thought about using Trisolaran civilization to save the earth. Later, he experienced the death of his husband and the suicide of his daughter. It can be said to be very tragic.

Shi Qiang, who is uninhibited and chivalrous, is quite similar to the heroic characters in Jin Yong’s martial arts novels. However, he is rough but subtle, and he is always concerned about the safety of others. He is the most popular character in the whole novel for me. I fell in love with the character, and at first I thought I would die after getting sick, but fortunately, I hibernated, recovered from the illness, and continued my career.

Zhang Beihai, a scheming boy, obviously he is a defeatist, but pretends to be a triumphalist, and finally escapes from the solar system with a battleship. Not only the battleship he took away survived, but the battleships that chased him also survived. , it can be said that it has made a huge contribution to the continuation of mankind.

Luo Ji, from a passive and lazy professor to a hero who saves the world, is a character who has changed a lot, but in the middle, I don’t understand what he wants to do. He also found a dream lover to get married and have children. In the end, he became the sword bearer. Compared with other wall-facers, is there any other Hangzhou tooling company that can win in life?

Cheng Xin suddenly became the protagonist. She looked confused. Didn’t she like Yun Tianming? In the end, they got together just because the only man in the world was Guan Yifan from Hangzhou Workwear Company? Shouldn't he reunite with Yun Tianming and have a sweet love?

Yun Tianming, who went through so much trouble to deliver the news, finally wanted to reunite with Cheng Xin, but after an unexpected situation, he spent a happy life with Ai AA? If you don’t go to the Hangzhou Workwear Company, you will never grow old? Aren't you going to see Cheng Xin? Is it true that the first love you have been missing so much will stop loving you if you don’t love it? I can’t understand the relationship between you, it’s too complicated!

Anyway, I don’t understand much of the professional stuff, and the storyline can be rambled on, so that’s it, Hangzhou Workwear Company doesn’t understand it very well. After reading "The Three-Body Problem" (Part 2)

I like "The Three-Body Problem" the most. This science fiction novel made me have endless reverie about the vast and boundless space.

"The Three-Body Problem" took me into a world where modernity and the future cross each other, and illusion and reality are constantly intertwined. There are aliens in this world - the Trisolarans. Their world has three suns, and they move irregularly. When phenomena such as "three stars transiting the sun, three stars lining the sky, and three stars in the sky" occur, the planet will be destroyed, and disasters will occur from time to time. will happen. Life is constantly changing in cycles of death and rebirth; the Three-Body civilization is also constantly being updated, but it will eventually be destroyed by unpredictable disasters, and the Three-Body problem has become an unsolvable mystery. I can't help but feel deep sympathy for the fate of the Trisolarans.

After reading "The Three-Body Problem", I learned about the vastness of the universe, and that in the universe, new life will continue to appear. From "the earth is the center of the universe" and "the sky is round and the earth is round" to "there is a sky beyond the sky", we humans are also constantly growing and progressing, and our understanding of the world is also constantly expanding. In the eyes of Trisolarans, people on earth may be just "bugs" who are not smart enough, have low technology, and are good at hiding their thoughts. But if "bugs" want to survive, they must adapt to various environments, rather than dreaming of the environment to adapt to. us.

I closed the book and thought about it carefully. We humans are living on the earth and we are constantly making progress. The vast universe attracts us to continue exploring and to realize the true "dream of flying". Technology is constantly developing. Many years from now, maybe we can be in space and continue to explore this vast universe, and be able to adapt to a wider cosmic living environment.

I read "The Three-Body Problem" over and over again, and every time I read it, I seemed to have a dream full of thoughts. In the vast and boundless universe in the dream, I was flying and soaring. Thoughts after reading "The Three-Body Problem" (Part 3)

When the storm of "The Three-Body Problem" came, I chose to give up on "The Three-Body Problem" because I couldn't understand it. So, I began to search for science fiction novels suitable for me in the vast sea of ??books. Finally, I discovered it "Wandering Sky".

This is a book for young people. After the war, the humans who immigrated to Mars and the Earth officially separated. As a result of the war, the Earth and Mars formed two different and incommunicado worlds. A hundred years later, Earth and Mars began postwar interactions. A group of Martian teenagers were sent to Earth to study and grow up there. When they return to Mars, they find their fates are entangled between these two mutually suspicious worlds. Under the sky, this group of young people began a heavy youth run. In order to find their true destination, they embarked on a journey of the heart.

One of the two worlds is solemn and majestic, the other is like a rambling garden. In the eyes of the Martians, their Governor Hans is a great hero. He has been high-spirited and made great military exploits since he was a child. His entire youth was dedicated to Mars and he devoted a lot of effort to the cause of peace.

The world created by the author is a unique warm sunshine bathed in metal texture. The beautiful and elegant artistic conception is run through with profound thinking about the two worlds. The tranquil rationality is filled with idealistic passion, taking us 80 million kilometers away to experience a wonderful life. I admire the young people's unity, cooperation and mutual encouragement; I am even more moved by the fact that they lost their lives to save the people on earth. Everyone has his own destiny in life. Wherever you belong, you can realize your dream.

Every character left a deep impression on me, and the extraordinary experiences between them were deeply moving. From this, we can see the great love in the world and the silence of Runtu. After returning from the crystal clear world on the red desert of Mars, your future dreams will change from black and white to color. This is the most magnificent color that "Wandering Sky" can paint.

Life itself is the whole meaning, and your destiny can only be faced and borne. Let us get involved in this storm together, wander in the vast sky, and embark on the return journey of our hearts. After reading The Three-Body Problem (Part 4)

The novel tells the story of Ye Wenjie, an earthling, who accidentally discovered another extraterrestrial civilization - the Trisolaran people (an extraterrestrial civilization with three suns). Because of the three-body The uncertainty leads to the story that the Trisolarans must find another planet suitable for survival and then invade the earth. In the hundreds of years of struggle between the Earth and Trisolaris, other more advanced civilizations destroyed Trisolaris and the solar system. His magic touch came from turning basic physical laws into weapons. It turns out that the universe is ten-dimensional. Due to the competition between civilizations, the constant use of dimensionality-reducing weapons caused the universe to continuously reduce its dimensions and eventually return to zero. Liu extended the competition of human society to the entire universe: survival is the first need of civilization; civilization continues to expand, but the total resources of the universe are limited, and a chain of suspicion and technological explosion are introduced. This further extends to the sociology of the entire universe. In the universe, every civilization is like a hunter with a gun traveling through the dark forest. He is cautious, wary of other people's cold shots, and is always ready to destroy any discovered enemies. The late famous physicist Hawking warned mankind more than once not to send various signals to the universe, just like a crying baby in the forest attracting many jackals.

Human beings are a very strange species. We are always used to finding a clear goal for ourselves, or looking for a competitor, otherwise we will easily lose our way. We are constantly reincarnating between war and peace, wandering between destruction and creation, just because we cannot find a new homogeneous body. It is easy for us to show extraordinary unity in the face of natural disasters, but in reality blame each other. There are constant disputes in the world and wars have never stopped. Perhaps it is really only in the face of a common external enemy that we can shelve disputes and deal with the outside world in unison.

The sun has existed for 5 billion years, the age of the universe is 13.8 billion years, the sun still has 5 billion years of life, and the Andromeda Galaxy will collide head-on with the Milky Way in 4 billion years. These cold numbers show that we humans absolutely cannot settle for just one corner. Our goal is the stars and the sea. When we climbed from the sea to land, and when our Homo sapiens ancestors walked along, our future path was destined.

The general trend of the world is overwhelming. The laws of natural science are not subject to human will. We cannot escape and must face it calmly. Even if the Trisolaran civilization is not triggered, human beings cannot escape the two-dimensional foil of the "Singer". In the face of a great god-level civilization, human beings are like ants, but ants still have fighting spirit, not to mention human beings? There is a saying: "If you hear it in the morning, you will die in the evening." We have used the entire human civilization to witness the truth of the operation of the entire universe. As bright as the stars, in the vast expanse of the sky, many interstellar civilizations are like the stamens of early spring, fragile yet persevering, blooming different wonderful moments on their own planet.

At night, when you look up at the starry sky, the city lights make the entire sky seem a little lonely, and our nearest planet in the west, Venus, looks extremely bright. Suddenly I miss the night sky of my childhood. Each shining star may be the cradle of civilization, and the extraterrestrial civilizations living on other planets are also staring at us with curiosity. After Reading Three-Body Problem Chapter 5

"Liu Cixin, I am your wall-breaker." I hesitated for a long time about this sentence, and decided to say it. The reason for hesitation was that the word "wall-breaker" These three words are too "shabby", as if you are scolding yourself.

Perhaps, this is another pit Liu Cixin has dug for those who try to interpret him. Liu Cixin behaves in his works just like the "Kazhan-Korean" girls two years ago. He is very "Kazakh-Russian" and all Russian (Soviet) people have a positive image; and like the current boys who "hate Han" Likewise, he hates Americans, and all Americans are portrayed in a negative light.

And the Chinese, needless to say, not only have to play the leading role, but also the good people. What's even more amazing is that his "Full Band Blocking and Jamming" is divided into two versions. One version is a confrontation between China and the United States, and China wins miserably; the other version only needs to replace "China" with "Russia", and all Chinese names will correspond Just change it to a Russian name.

The friendship between China and Russia is unbreakable!

Yes, he expresses his likes and dislikes so straightforwardly, like a simple child, like a black-and-white movie with facial makeup during the revolutionary period. The good guy is like Zhu Shimao and the bad guy is like Chen Peisi, which can be seen at a glance. Novels, especially science fiction novels, are very romantic, so Liu Cixin must exude revolutionary romanticism from every pore?

Wrong, not only is he not romantic, he is also very pessimistic and desperate. The entire "Three-Body Problem" is a process in which bubbles of hope are constantly being generated and then being smashed. In his eyes, romance is a placebo, a poison, something that should be rejected and attacked in literary works. If you can't avoid it, you must fight against it. Not only "The Three-Body Problem", all of his published novels, novellas, and short stories that I have read are filled with this tone, which is solid and timeless.

Science fiction themes are imported from the West for China and Russia. I can’t even think of any great science fiction novels, movies and writers in Russia (the Soviet Union). To be honest, science fiction requires science. Basic, and all fields of science are dominated by the West. Liu Cixin recognizes this. There are two god-level scientists repeatedly mentioned in his works, one is Britain's Hawking, the other is China's Ding Yi, and then The author is fictitious. The scientific achievements of the West exist objectively and are not dependent on human will.

What makes Liu Cixin, who was born in 1963, insist on relying on his own will? Aren’t science fiction novelists naturally supposed to be closer to the West and catch up with England and the United States?

I was particularly surprised by Liu Cixin’s incompatibility, so I couldn’t help but play the role of his wall-breaker.

Although there is no Tomoko to help me, his thoughts are just like his books, spread out for others to interpret.

Everything starts from the beginning of time...

Knock on the blackboard, don’t think about the Big Bang, that has nothing to do with this article.

I am talking about the first chapter of the first part of "The Three-Body Problem". Let us look at the name: "The Age of Crazy", and then look at the beginning: "China, 1967." Red United "The attack on the headquarters building of the "4.28 Corps" has lasted for two days. Their flags are flying restlessly around the building, as if they are eager for dry firewood...".

I don’t think there is any need to continue to interpret Liu Cixin’s seemingly contradictory thoughts. How much of what people who have experienced crazy times really mean is what they say?

Let’s go back and talk about Zhang Beihai.

Zhang Beihai is a lonely Wallfacer, but in fact, he doesn’t have one, and he doesn’t care about the UN’s bullshit Wallfacer plan. He consciously takes on the task of preventing human extinction, and because of him, Starship As the seeds of humans on Earth, humans had to be sown outside the solar system, giving birth to humans in the Milky Way. (See "Three Body II: Dark Forest" for details)

Before mastering and driving the "Natural Selection" capable of interstellar navigation, Zhang Beihai had been deeply hidden, concealing his determination with determination. To disguise belief with belief.

I have always avoided using the word "escape". It is not a complimentary word in any language. However, compared with Chinese, in some ethnic languages, this word is more neutral. A similar word is "surrender". During World War II, under the tracks of German tanks, the Netherlands was destroyed in seven days. Queen Wilhelmina established a government-in-exile in the United Kingdom. With her powerful navy that had not had time to be occupied by Germany, she fought hard on various ocean battlefields with her powerful navy all over the world, which greatly filled the gap. The strength of the Allied forces finally led to the glorious restoration of the country. Assuming history, once Britain falls, Churchill will definitely "flee" to Canada to continue leading the Commonwealth countries in the war against the Axis powers. Therefore, "Fight if you can, run away if you can't" is equally applicable between countries, and it does not detract from the glory in the slightest. Liu Cixin applies this sentence to species beyond the national level - of course, Earthlings and Trisolarans are Two species.

It is Zhang Beihai’s credit that mankind in the Milky Way was born; but mankind in the Solar System was destroyed. Whether Zhang Beihai wanted to see it or not, he guessed it, but perhaps the biggest desire in his heart was for mankind in the Milky Way. Return to save humanity in the solar system after a technological explosion.

Zhang Beihai's situation is huge. A few seconds before he and all the crew members on the "Natural Selection" were destroyed together, "he actually smiled and said a few words: 'It's okay. It's all the same!'" Yes, no matter which ship launches the "Dark Battle" first, they are qualified to survive on behalf of the people of Earth.

Then, the pattern can be bigger, and the Trisolarans and the people on Earth should also be "the same". Whoever destroys whom and who survives are all the same.

Liu Cixin’s works are full of contradictions and struggles to create values. Truth, goodness and beauty are irreconcilable with the real world. Truth, goodness and beauty are either crushed by the real world (just like the Earth’s fleet was destroyed by water droplets), or they fall into the real world ( Like the solar system being made two-dimensional), or escaping from the real world (like Zhang Beihai did).

Mirroring the "truth, goodness and beauty" of Chinese literature is the "innocent heart" of American literature. The most popular way to use "innocent heart" to describe a country is the American writer Fitzgerald's sentence Quote: France is a land, England is a nation, and America... is a heart.

In American literature, including Hollywood movies, innocence is the eternal core of stories, such as "The Great Gatsby", "The Shawshank Redemption", "Forrest Gump", "Saving Private Ryan" ", these stories are all about: When a person goes out to hang out, he must bring two things, one is kindness, and the other is fists. The brave new world is made by good people.

Therefore, excellent American literature is in tune with its story and melody. Americans shape the innocent heart, and the innocent heart in turn transforms Americans.

When it comes to the core of "truth, goodness and beauty" in Chinese literature, there is an unspeakable conflict. Take the four classical classics that are most harmonious in form. Due to the limited space, I will only give one example of each. "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is the most popular. The admired Shu Han was the first to perish among the Three Kingdoms; Sun Wukong, the most popular figure in "Journey to the West", was unable to make progress on his own journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures; the flawless Jia Baoyu in "A Dream of Red Mansions" was actually useless; the protagonist Song Jiang and his group in "Water Margin" regarded people's lives as nothing. .

Liu Cixin’s novels, except for the ambiguities, flaws, and contradictions he deliberately created, and because of their anti-romantic characteristics, do not have the usual conflict of values ??in traditional Chinese literature. The protagonist should have a heart of a bodhisattva and a thunderbolt method, and he should be brave at critical moments. You have to do it, otherwise it will be like Cheng Xin who misled others and herself. The "misleading others and herself" here refers to the people on Earth and the Trisolarans.

It must be emphasized again and again that in the "Three-Body" series, Zhang Beihai, or a character like Vader, is the protagonist in the melody.

Finally, I believe that Mr. Liu Cixin must not be romantic in life.
