Thoughts after reading irresponsible works

As one of the initiators of this project, he was responsible for writing and closing the case. I took advantage of my trip back home a while ago, and while sitting on long-distance trains and buses, I read each of the works. I also used this concluding article to briefly write some thoughts, and once again help the authors promote their masterpieces.

1. " Stand-in Lover ": The story combines elements of psychology and science fiction. It describes the interaction between the protagonist and the stand-in AI, and the life and emotional experiences. It reflects the emotional dilemmas and the complexity of interpersonal relationships that modern people face in urban life. The novel uses a first-person narrative, allowing readers to directly enter the protagonist's heart and feel his emotions, thoughts and struggles.

2. " Forgetting the Moon ": The story describes the loneliness of the protagonist named Cowboy, the memories of his first love in youth, and his nostalgia for the past. The struggle he experienced in his profound thoughts between loss and loneliness shows the beauty and pain of love in human life.

3. " Perfume Order ": With the theme of perfume, it tells the story of the protagonist Fonda who loves perfume, her husband Alex, and the relationship between perfume company employee Keith. Various perfumes carry symbols of each relationship and memory in the story, and also represent the character's personality and destiny.

4. < Guardian of Souls >: College student Shu Yun met a "Guardian of Souls" named Mr. Mo. Under the guidance of Mr. Mo, he visited the "Island of Purity" and the states of the departed souls in heaven and hell. Finally, Shu Yun took over the position of soul guardian. The author depicts Shu Yun's psychological transformation process from initial indifference and disappointment in the world to gradually opening up his heart and finally choosing to take on the responsibility of the guardian of the soul.

5. " Xiaoxitian 2.0 ": It describes a woman with terminal cancer who decides to return to the good times she spent with her ex-boyfriend before her life comes to an end. During the journey, she met an old man who often came to the beach alone. The old man revealed the pain he had experienced, which made the woman rethink the topic of love and the meaning of life.

6. " 21st Century Happy Experience Voucher ": A priest who is keen on preaching uses the story of philosophy student S and "Happy Experience Voucher" to attract believers, promote the church's charitable activities and his own doctrine, and commercialize religious beliefs. The whole story puts forward the definition of happiness, reflects on traditional concepts such as religion, love, and social values, and uses modern people's attitude towards dealing with difficulties in life. Believers form an irony against the commercialization of religious beliefs.

7. " Crisis in Other Countries ": In order to invade other countries, neighboring countries use "point viruses" created by Y-infection to attempt destructive attacks. In order to rescue his mother who was arrested by a neighboring country, the protagonist attempted to sabotage his country's blood bank under the instruction of the neighboring country, and he was also infected by the virus. In the end, the protagonist reunited with his mother, got rid of the control of the neighboring country, and worked with scientists and officials from his country to fight back against the neighboring country's virus invasion plan.

8. " Mo Shen ": From the perspective of high school student Song Yan, it describes the strange things he and his four classmates, Miao Mo, Wu Jianmei and Jiang Rouhao, encountered in school. Song Yan's experience of seeing the black shadow, and Miao Mo's dream that the God of Mo needed to be rescued. The four of them tried to solve the mystery left by the God of Mo, and finally met the God of Mo in front of the tiger-character monument.

9. " Songs Without Genres ": The story explores the nature of creation, the role of the author, and its relationship with literature and the real world through dialogue about writing. Two writers "You" and "Gaozi" discussed creative methods in a writing sharing event. The former emphasized that daily life is the best source of creative materials and believed that it is necessary to pay attention to and write about those neglected voices and issues; the latter emphasized Creation should be based on "intuition", and writers should lead with "inspiration". Behind the characters' mutual dialogue, they reflect on the status and responsibility of literature in contemporary society, as well as the significance of literary and humanistic values ​​in an era of rapid technological development.
