The Chinese characters in the poems have removed the character "女" or the character "女". Such words What kind of picture can it show? Submissions are welcome . 】

Whether the book or movie Gatsby or that green light is familiar to you or not, I invite you to read this article while listening to Lana del Rey's movie theme song "Young and Beautiful". Lana del Rey’s intoxicated voice vividly interprets the ecstasy of the Jazz Age (yes, she also writes poetry [ Lana del Rey’s Poetry ]), and in my opinion, the pinnacle of the Jazz Age’s works must be Fitzgerald "The Great Gatsby", the soundtrack of the film is none other than Lana del Rey. The protagonist Gatsby is none other than Leonardo.

I have read and reread the book The Great Gatsby. Although I am not a book collector, I still have two copies of the original English version. Why do I love this book and this story so much? I have to start with my favorite sentence——

 White jade chases happiness, gold buys laughter. —Liu Guo

Among the Song lyrics, Yuan songs, and Xiaoling's vast emotions, I especially love Liu Guo's line. And this sentence is like the entire Jazz Age, the booming United States, Shanghai's cheongsam and waltz, and the spinning dance steps...

Although I love novels, I love the stories behind them even more. Zelda and Fitzgerald's passionate love and short-lived brilliance make Liu Guo's "white jade pursues love, gold buys laughter" as if it were staged on the other side of the world. The true story of a famous writer who spends a lot of money and the rise of the beautiful lover he pleases always makes the novel extend more imagination.

A life of ups and downs was recorded at the most beautiful and glorious moments. Who knows and cares about the tears and decadence hidden behind Liu Guo's eight words?

I don't know when "The Great Gatsby" allowed time to fragment it into symbolic moments, such as the green light shown in the movie. These moments have turned into meanings and immersed every moment in life. I wonder if life in my life is just these eight words Liu Guo?

This book is directly about the lives of Zelda and Fitzgerald, making "The Great Gatsby" a "life of strangers." You can read to understand the lives of Zelda and Fitzgerald, but Not comparable to The Great Gatsby.

Find these two books and listen to the movie soundtrack. I write these words because I got my first NFT in my life.

Since being selected by Fanggezi as one of the first 333 people to own NFT, I can’t wait. It’s a pity that I missed the Matt City NFT when I gave birth to a baby at the end of the year. Otherwise, this beautiful little fox in the metaverse🦊 would have been the second one. TA is very beautiful, it is purple. Because I received the airdrop randomly, I was particularly surprised when it was announced, because his name was actually Gatsby!

The first NFT seemed to see through my heart! For a moment, I wanted to take out the book and read it again. I thought about the green light, and that the Jazz Age was an era that had risen. Now, Web 3.0 and the Metaverse are gradually becoming the trendsetters. What an interesting metaphor this is. !

I love my Gatsby very much. It is of great value to me, a bibliophile. Maybe it was just a coincidence that I got Gatsby, but I also fell in love with this coincidence played by God, because somehow, I seemed to be understood - I like the feeling of "white jade pursues love, gold buys laughter" , There are many love things in this world, and joy and laughter are the shortest. If you can catch them, what do white jade and gold mean?
