Save my writing, but no plan

An essay, documenting the writing

I wrote "Millennium Family" half a year ago. The previous one was updated on February 8th, and it has been three months. Because of some problems, it is temporarily unavailable on the Internet. I will talk about it from the perspective of a personal narrator. The story is mainly to record this process.

I thought that the story was 80% complete, and the relevant details were recorded in several notebooks and audio files, as well as some organized letters, and I just had to repost it... It is natural to position "Millennium Family" in a non- In fictional novels (non-fiction), in addition to the fact that the background of her story overlaps with certain historical events, and she "had to... A true statement—but it’s not quite correct to say that, and a true story without a script is sometimes even more bloody—but my story “just happened” was the result of forced choices.

She may be similar to most of the stories of that era, that is, revolution, war, flight, immigration, cultural and religious shocks, and love stories, but the whole is the story of ordinary people living and footing in a foreign land. For that generation, I felt living in a foreign land was the smallest test. With each passing generation, their sense of fit in society will become closer. Speaking of which, I have always hated the ethnic antagonism that is provoked every election. By the fourth and fifth generations, there is no difference. Whether they live in Europe or the United States, because for them, blood no longer represents their identity.

Small Bottlenecks of Nonfiction

 Originally the story of Hannah's great-grandmother Mary was followed by Joseph

Joseph and Hannah are cousins with the same great grandparents, except that Joseph is French who grew up in the Jewish community of Strasbourg in eastern France, while Hannah is Taiwanese who grew up in Taiwan with only a quarter of Jewish ancestry. Hannah wasn't even her name, just a more fitting name for visiting Jewish families, and it was funny every time I heard someone call her that.

At the same time, she also felt very guilty. She had to use a code name that did not belong to her to contact her cousins, which seemed to indicate that there was bound to be a estrangement between them, but she couldn't remember why she couldn't use her own name with the Jewish family in the first place. dating? Maybe just to be more into them?

Whether it is their bloodline or belief, there is almost no trace of them in the fifth generation. The similar "little genes" between cousins are probably only preserved in their natural curly hair and freckles on their faces. In addition, in appearance It's just a European and an Asian, and it doesn't look like a family at all.

However, their great-grandfather is like a twin brother, in fact, that is the young one, and they have never met since then.

The story begins when Hannah visits Strasbourg to visit the descendants of her great-grandfather's brother—the cousins of her generation, the Joseph family. As the beginning of this story, there is no breaking point or obvious contradiction, only Cut for a narrator's point of view. But the closer we get to modern times, the characters that appear in the story are people who still exist in reality, and the more recent the story will be, the clearer the story will be, and it may be clear that people who know it will know who is talking about... So I encountered a small bottleneck. , Some people don't want to be a character.

Furthermore, when I wanted to make some of these details more specific, the problem of "oral history" arose. Different people narrate the same story differently, which also made me think that maybe I should turn her into a person who just has the same historical background. The fictional stories below, so that I can also solve the problem of jeopardizing the privacy of some people.

But that goes back to the essence of what I'm going to write about this story in the first place, and maybe it's something that will take time to figure out.

By the way, I am used to writing the pronoun of the story as "she", which should be histoire, which is feminine.

I have always known that I have a lot of hobbies about writing. For example, I hate emotionally charged sentences. I always believe that in real life, even if I go through life and death, I will not have a scene of rushing to the ground. But this may also be the background of personal growth. Be a relatively calm person.

~~Have you ever seen someone wearing all black yelling mamma mia or uncle tiangong?~~ That's probably not my way of playing.

There was an earthquake in the office, and the screen next to me hit me on the head. Later, I went to the hospital to find out that I had a concussion, but I "ouched" it and walked calmly to the nearby hospital with a very painful headache. The injury was It was so serious that the company took the initiative to give me a week of paid leave and paid work-related injury insurance, but at the moment, except for the colleagues next to me, no one knew what was going on.

I express my emotions, emotions, and pain in a cool tone, and I am afraid that I will feel uncomfortable when I see something full of emotions. Speaking of this, I just watched "Gucci: Murder of a Giant", but I heard that the facts are even more bloody. Lady Gaga's extreme vulgarity is very sad. After interfering in her husband's family business, she can't let go of her feelings, crying She buys and kills after a lot of trouble, all because she is too greedy... People who have been to Italy should have noticed that the emotional expression of the southern righteous people is more intense, while the northern righteous people are very calm, but for Americans, perhaps the Italians are Emotional, right?

I'm not sure if Mrs. Gucci, who buys and kills, also always shows her emotions. Although she met Mr. Gucci in Milan's upper circles, interviews with real people mentioned that "she is different from people who were born celebrities", according to her youth. An acquaintance of her said that she had plans to marry someone who would be of help to her, while girls born in wealthy families at that time believed that love was everything, and girls from wealthy families would not fight to marry into wealthy families.

Those interviews blamed all these tragedies on her greed, if she didn't scheming to marry into the Gucci family, destroy the harmony of her husband's family and try to increase the shares held by their family, it would not lead to the subsequent divorce of her husband, Feeling that his efforts were in vain, he killed his ex-husband in anger.

In the play, Mr. Gucci's affair is also written as a matter of course. When he saw his wife trying to drive away his uncle and cousin, he had already felt the real face of this woman and felt terrible. Later, he took advantage of the financial police. He went to his home to check tax evasion and escaped to a ski resort in Switzerland. By chance, he met an old acquaintance, and his wife was chasing after him, and he showed a very vulgar appearance in the upper circles. At that time, Mr. Gucci had an affair. foreshadowing.

Too much talk, originally meant to say that whether it is too much or too calm emotions belong to two extreme types of people, so the emotions expressed in my words are not very close to the minds of most people - so it is difficult for me Write a good story, about this, my mother also said that there is no market for my words!
