After discontinuing the use of a particular bookmarked platform for books, I have decided to dedicate a standalone article on my personal website to document various reflections after reading. I’ve chosen to title this piece ‘Seeking Threads,’ inspired by the definition in ‘Shuowen Jiezi’ (an ancient Chinese dictionary completed around the year 100 AD). My hope is to follow the threads of these scattered thoughts and uncover life’s ultimate answers. Reading is purely for my personal enjoyment, and my perspectives are entirely subjective.

Mill penned these words in the 19th century. Has societal progress been achieved since then?<\/p>\n

Reading this book is akin to journeying alongside this 19th-century woman, traversing cities, parks, schools, and libraries, experiencing and contemplating the intricate relationship between women and novels, as well as the dynamics between the two genders. It’s reminiscent of watching her methodically construct a literary haven exclusively for women, witnessing the foundations of her arguments deeply embedded in the ground, the exposition of her reasoning spreading methodically in all directions. It unfolds with the gradual accumulation of evidence, growing higher and faster, eventually converging at the summit and pouring forth the radiant light of wisdom. I am hoping that there will be an increasing number of such havens in the future, desiring that every girl possesses a room of her own, an income that liberates her intellect and talents boundlessly, allowing her to bask in the world’s most beautiful freedom and love.<\/p>\n

Comparing with some events in 2022, I feel that Saramago is like a prophet. Perhaps due to the swift spread of blindness, there was no room for those inflating prices to make their mark in the book \ud83d\ude09\u00a0 \u00a02. The narrative could have delved even deeper into dark humor. For example, aligning with the prevailing trend of net literature , the doctor’s wife could have embraced a more prominent heroine character who could have broken up with the unfaithful doctor; retaliated against the villain group who isolated and insulted women in quarantine zone, and then lead all women to liberate themselves from oppression, establishing a self-sufficient mutual aid society… 3. Although this book satirizes societal realities and human nature, it remains very heartwarming, concluding with a universally happy ending.<\/p>\n

Since I just finished reading “Hyperion”, I think it is a good opportunity to compare these two pioneering works. “Neuromancer” showcases an unfettered imagination that is truly astonishing. The writing style is a bit fantastical, and in some places, it is unclear probably due to translation. For example, the final code… is it “hive”? Anyway, I prefer the literary depth and all-encompassing nature of “Hyperion”.<\/p>\n

Despite its brevity, the book carries a wealth of information. This work is the origin of Slavoj \u017di\u017eek’s statement ‘We feel free because we lack the very language to articulate our unfreedom.’ Reading it in conjunction with the documentary “The Pervert’s Guide to Ideology” enhances the overall experience. I read the version translated by Yu Dongxing, and the book concludes with a postscript by Momus, skillfully weaving together all the jokes mentioned in the book through a clever joke about “Hannah’s doll.” This effectively conveys the facts and absurdities surrounding dialectics, logic, and ideology, making it truly ingenious.<\/p>\n

The overall reading experience is quite smooth, though some parts may be a bit verbose. The author’s discussion of the concept of inventing first and then assigning a purpose to the invention challenges my long-standing stereotypes. Additionally, the author explores the impact of biodiversity on the development of human societies, making me ponder whether, in the modern era of mass extinctions, we are digging our own graves in the competition for the future, perhaps even with extraterrestrial beings (if they exist…). Finally, the author’s discussion of the origins of the Japanese people is also fascinating, revealing the possibility that Japan and Korea may have shared a common ancestry.<\/p>\n

Chieko Ueno is candid and wise, while Ryomi Suzuki is intelligent and frank. Their conversation is filled with enlightening points, such as the realization that erotic capital is essentially erotic commodities. They delve into the notion that love is a process where we both get hurt and hurt each other to explore personal boundaries. The discussion also covers the freedom of expression and the intricate relationship between “structure and subject.” Moreover, I was greatly enlightened by their discourse on “expression”. Ryomi Suzuki notes that if expression is precise and refined enough, it can avoid arbitrary misinterpretation. Chieko Ueno emphasizes not underestimating the reader, encouraging writers to consider their audience and vividly imagine the faces of their readers. I sincerely hope these two exceptional women take good care of themselves, and I eagerly anticipate their future works.<\/p>\n

In essence, Plato argues that individuals should aspire to live justly, maintaining the dominance of reason over the irrational aspects of the soul. The ideal city-state should adhere to the same principle. This book is a quintessential example where both the essence and flaws are readily apparent. The essence lies in the celebration of truth, goodness, and beauty, as well as the analysis of the concepts of “ideas” and “shadows.” The flaws, however, manifest in the disparagement of the lower class and women. Many arguments, in my opinion, resort to sophistry; yet the flaws do not overshadow its merits.<\/p>\n

In my opinion, all five stories delve into the quest for what constitutes a genuine life, especially when everyone is inevitably drawn into the vortex of social movements. How does one navigate between truth and lies to find a path towards self-reconciliation? It is sad to see each character in the book eventually takes a route that where moral judgments become elusive.<\/p>\n

I was most pleased to learn about the “School of Names” philosophical school, especially because I had previously read Plato’s “Republic” and found parallels between the School of Names’ distinction between ideas and things and Platonic philosophy. Unfortunately, the School of Names had only a fleeting presence in the river of history; otherwise, Chinese philosophy might have embarked on the path of logical analysis. Another revelation was Feng Youlan’s summarization of Chinese philosophy: “both transcendent and immanent,” which left me in awe. This delicate balance between transcendence and immanence is precisely why I am passionate about philosophy. Unlike Wang Guowei’s sense of helplessness towards philosophy, I see philosophy as both a remedy for practical living (immanence) and an elixir for spiritual elevation (transcendence); I have never considered it useless. Lastly, Feng Youlan remarks, “One must speak a lot before maintaining silence.” Though I don’t know where philosophy will lead me, before reaching the state of silence, I hope to speak a great deal.<\/p>\n

However, as the plot unfolds with William and Adso discovering a secret room in the library and a series of deaths aligning with the Book of Revelation, the story becomes captivating. The climax occurs when the two religious orders converge, particularly the monks’ discussions on poverty, the treatment of non-believers, and the approach towards knowledge are riveting. Many describe this as an anti-detective novel, a sentiment I agree with. William, influenced by the humanistic ideals of Roger Bacon and overly reliant on the power of reason, believes that events follow a logical pattern. However, William stumbles upon the truth, and the actual murderer only ends up killing themselves, unrelated to the other deaths, affirming the theme discussed in the book: the universe is chaotic. Upon further reflection, it’s the erudite murderer’s realization of this chaos, stimulated by Aristotle’s works, coupled with the fear that the book’s dissemination would shake the foundations of faith, that leads to the tragic aftermath. In summary, the book covers a myriad of topics, delving into God’s love and physical love, homosexuality, asceticism and indulgence, secular power and theological authority, gem appreciation, and more. I see it as a detective version of “Remembrance of Things Past.”<\/p>\n

It isn’t as brilliantly written as the first part, Hyperion. While the clever idea of intertwining the entire story with Keats’ cyber-personality is well-conceived, the logic doesn’t hold up under scrutiny. For instance, why can Keats’ personality dream about everything the pilgrims experienced? Additionally, the supposed divine power of “empathy” in humans is said to come from the distant past, so why does it end up with the child of Lamiya and Johnny? I have to continue reading the third part to find answers.<\/p>\n

Finally finished reading! The latter half of the plot was much more exciting than the first half, especially the series of deaths towards the end, which made me feel that this group of five was so sinister that it sent chills down my spine. Overall, the reading experience wasn’t great because the main characters of the novel were not likable. The Verhovensky father and son are by far the most detestable characters I’ve encountered in a novel. One is pretentious and oily, the other is sinister and vicious. And another main character, Stavrogin, is fickle and inexplicable. But they are all not good people, the ‘demons’ as Dostoevsky described. These ‘demons,’ waving the banner of freedom, disrupt society and harm others and themselves, acting as a cancer that affects the normal functioning of society. Additionally, in keeping with Dostoevsky’s usual style, this novel also focuses on the debate over whether God should exist. Kirillov wants to prove God doesn’t exist by committing suicide to become a god. Stavrogin swings between belief and disbelief, his soul tormented, and in the end, he also chooses suicide. Honestly, I never thought the existence of God was such an important proposition, but in the novel, I understood the evil consequences of losing faith\u2014evil thoughts and moral decay.<\/p>\n

This book is the most delicate and genuinely moving one that I have read among Dostoevsky’s works. It’s evident how his philosophical thoughts are inextricably linked to his prison experiences. The book recounts the various facets of life in prison. These stories are astonishing, yet when one considers their social backgrounds and personal experiences, they make me feel ridiculous and sad at the same time.<\/p>\n

This book is the most relevant popular science book to my research. Although I am also a researcher in the field of hydrology and have a good grasp of some basic knowledge of hydrology, I still learned a lot and gained a lot of inspiration from this book. The most interesting chapter to me is about the impact of rivers on wars, especially the part that talks about the period of the Second Sino-Japanese War, when the Kuomintang government blew up the dams of the Yellow River in Henan, causing millions of people losing their homes. This action also led to the loss of public support for Kuomingtang government during the subsequent Chinese Civil War between it and the Chinese Communist Party. I had never considered this perspective before, but it reminded me of some stories my dad used to tell me about his hometown. My grandfather lived in a small village in the Huai River basin in northern Jiangsu. In the years when food were extremely scarce, my grandparents took a boat from the village to Nanjing to make a living. Later, as life gradually improved, they returned to the village, which was flooded at that time, and moving around the village relied on boats. Once, my grandfather, drunk, fell into the river while rowing home alone, scaring the family half to death, asking for the whole village to rescue him. Fortunately, my grandfather was fine in the end. Every time I return to my hometown, it’s hard to believe that the green river covered with water hyacinths in front of my grandfather’s house once flooded the entire village and carried countless people displaced by war to a place of hope. I don’t know if the flooding of the river was related to the Kuomingtang government’s destruction of the dams, but the knowledge I learned from the book reminded me of these distant memories. Last summer, I went back to my hometown and saw a monument by the river, engraved with the name of the river chief and the management department of the river. The river was clearer than before and the water hyacinths in the river were much fewer. These correspond exactly to China’s river chief system introduced in the book. I greatly admire Dr. Smith’s extensive knowledge and am also ashamed of my ignorance about my hometown.<\/p>\n

This book compiles all of the Lovecraft’s novels in chronological order, so it is easy to tell the progress of his writing style and the refinement of the worldview. Although I’ve only read about half of it so far, and haven’t gotten to many of his representative works yet, I can’t help but share my current thoughts. Firstly, I find Lovecraft’s worldview very intriguing. In his world, there exist powerful life forms beyond human perception, which have existed since ancient times and coexist with nature, or are nature itself. Therefore, the themes of his stories always emphasize that humans should maintain awe and humility towards nature. His stories blend natural science and philosophy, often featuring eccentric researchers persistently exploring the universe’s mysteries, even at the cost of their reputations and lives. These aspects deeply resonate with me as someone studying and researching in the field of natural science. In addition, the first half of the collection consists of Lovecraft’s early works, which are not as mature in writing style and conception. However, you can see that he diligently imitated and practiced the styles of his favorite writers, and finally began to gradually form his own Cthulhu system since the latter half of this book. To me, it’s like a diligent student finally achieving success, which is very inspiring. However, there are also many aspects of his early works that I don’t like, such as his repetitive way of describing terrifying environments using trees, grasses and weird house, and his descriptions of ancient gods as “indescribably terrifying”.” Additionally, he seems to harbor hostility and fear towards people of color. Despite of that, there are several early stories that I particularly like, namely “Polaris,” “Beyond the Wall of Sleep,” and “Hypnos.” Among these three, “Beyond the Wall of Sleep” is the most beautiful piece, because the story suggests that no matter who we are, we are all stars in the boundless universe incarnated in the mortal world. Is it romantic?<\/p>\n

I’ve finally finished reading the entire collection. The later works of Lovecraft, are indeed more mature and intrigued, with several pieces leaving me a deep impression. For instance, “The Case of Charles Dexter Ward” is a mystery-solving fiction about resurrection and possession. The element of possession is particularly popular in today’s online novels. “The Dunwich Horror” is a tale about a cult, with very creative summoning rituals. “The Colour Out of Space” revolves around a meteorite and extraterrestrial beings. Both its writing style and content are somewhat reminiscent of “Annihilation,” though it was published nearly a century earlier. “At the Mountains of Madness” is about an Antarctic expedition, and it\u2019s said that Lovecraft had participated in an expedition himself, which explains the vivid environmental descriptions. This work also significantly enriched the Cthulhu Mythos, yet ironically, this outstanding novel was rejected upon submission. Among these excellent works, my favorite is “The Shadow over Innsmouth.” It tells the story of exploring an underwater race and a degenerate human town, culminating in a narrow escape. There\u2019s a brilliant twist related to the eyes of the main character. Finally, in the last story of the Carter series, Lovecraft\u2019s narrative takes on a philosophical meaning: “Illusion is the only reality, matter is the deception.” Isn’t this somewhat like Schopenhauer’s discussion on consciousness and existence?<\/p>\n

The confusion caused by polarized opinions on the Israel-Palestine conflict led me to read this book. The book establishes an ideal system involving experts, the public, government agencies, and the media to explain how public opinion is formed. It describes how experts’ views are disseminated by the media, the policies encouraging expert opinions, and the necessity of public involvement. The book highlights that information is processed by experts and relayed to the public, who selectively believe elite narratives based on their values and ideologies.\u00a0 John’s model explains that ideology is a collection of preferences shared by different experts, differing from definitions by Marx, Park, or Locke. Ideology is a broad preference for order, stability, and social control, with values being the organizing principles. Based on my understanding, if various viewpoints are like celestial bodies in the universe, then ideology is like a nebula, and values are the physical or organizing principles that form the nebula. Though John’s theory is persuasive, I am curious about to what extend, the influence of celebrities and social media influencer, who are experts in field of entertainment but not in politics, on public political views. Regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict, the polarized opinions indicate a societal struggle influenced by government organizations, experts, and media on both sides. Assuming transparent access to facts, changing deeply held opposing views is difficult. Thus, the most effective strategy is to provide a one-sided narrative to the public (which is bad). As an ordinary person, I believe in minimizing bias by considering both sides’ news and evaluating specific facts rather than taking a polarized stance. The final chapter’s summary was excellent, emphasizing that while the public need not be wise, they are a powerful force. Properly guided, they can effectively oversee the government and maximize public interests. Lastly, I read the Chinese edition, which is abridged. If I’ve misunderstood any key points, feel free to correct me.<\/p>\n

Today, I happened to watch a Youtube video by \u4e8c\u7237\u6545\u4e8b (@Tankman2020), and I strongly agree with his views on the so-called “rational moderates”. I felt compelled to share my thoughts here. In the context of the Israel-Palestine conflict, I consider myself one of those “rational moderates”. I despise terrorists, yet I also have deep sympathy for the weaker side. Perhaps it’s because the education I received as a child often conveyed a grand narrative where powerful nations bully the weak, and the poor rise up in resistance. However, after learning about the history of Israel and Palestine, the actions of Hamas, and the historical Shaanxi-Gansu Hui Rebellion in China, I’ve come to realize that the weaker side isn’t always in the right, and Israel’s strong response to terrorist organizations is necessary. Additionally, I want to expand on my previous book review. In that review, it might have been evident that I was a somewhat a “rational moderate”, even suggesting that we should avoid taking sides on who is right or wrong overall. This attitude might be acceptable in situations where information is opaque or distorted, but if the information is transparent, we should take a clear stance in fighting against evil.)<\/span><\/p>\n

While playing the Switch game “Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo”. I unexpectedly learned about a novel with the same name. Both the novel and the game are set in Honjo Fukagawa, but the stories are completely different. The novel contains no supernatural events, instead it portrays the vicissitudes of life through the lens of supernatural rumors, interweaving the entire book around the character Shigeshichi of Eko-in. The story that resonated with me the most is “One-Sided Reeds,” though I can’t quite explain why it touched me more than the others; perhaps it’s the poignant tale of a good man misunderstood by others, including his own daughter, and ultimately meeting a tragic death. Overall, the seven stories are lovely. I think if I had read this book ten years ago, I would have adored it. Now, the stories seem too unrealistic. Additionally, I was drawn to this book because it was marketed as a historical novel, and I was looking forward to learning about the customs and culture of the Edo period. However, I found that these stories could apply to any era, which was somewhat disappointing.<\/p>\n

This is a short story by Fyodor Dostoevsky, written in the form of letters, describing the tragedy of a low-ranking civil servant named Makar and an orphan girl named Varinka. Nowadays, there are many novels on the market that pretend to be profound and are meticulously detailed but leave readers confused, especially regarding the author’s intended message. I believe that a great novel not only clearly conveys its main theme but also allows for various implicit interpretations. “Poor Folk” is one such novel. It very clearly tells the reader that the lives of these two characters are extremely miserable: Makar was very poor, and supporting Varinka made him destitute. Although he was momentarily fortunate to receive some money from his boss, he completely lost his dignity. On the other hand, Varinka, physically and mentally devastated, succumbed to life’s pressures, married someone unsuitable, and left St. Petersburg, losing contact with Makar.<\/p>\n

At the same time, this novel hints at some of the roots of the tragedy. Ultimately, it’s what Lu Xun described as “mourning their misfortune, but angering at their lack of wisdom.” For instance, Makar pessimistically believed in fate, was overly concerned with others’ opinions, and constantly made unwise decisions, further impoverishing himself. The novel frequently mentioned borrowing 30 or 40 rubles, so I looked up the equivalent value and found that 1 ruble is approximately 100 yuan (around 20 CAD). In other words, if they had 4,000 yuan, their lives wouldn’t be so difficult. Thinking of how many people are obsessed with luxury goods today and spend extravagantly, it’s hard not to feel a bit sentimental.<\/p>\n

This novel made me ponder: what is true poverty? We often say, “a person may be poor, but their ambition is not,” or “a person may be poor, but they are spiritually rich.” Indeed, there are many kinds of poverty. I believe the most terrifying poverty is perpetual misfortune, which gradually erodes one’s will, forcing one to live in constant fear of tomorrow and the mockery of others. A person’s spirit is like a grand building, and persistent misfortune is like the tenacious termites inside, gnawing away bit by bit until the entire structure collapses. When under significant mental stress, it is hard to make wise decisions. With this in mind, the poverty of the poor is truly inescapable and utterly despairing.<\/p>\n

This is also a short story by Dostoevsky. The language is beautiful and imaginative, making me sometimes think of some poetic phrases from this story when I wander through the city and look at rows of houses. The story is about a brief encounter and the ensuing emotional turmoil between a lonely person and a bright girl. Although the ending is not terrible, it still has a sad undertone. Why did Dostoevsky write such a story? I was puzzled at first. Today, I happened to have a book I planned to read, “Democracy in America.” Casually looking through it, I found a sentence that might answer my question. It reads, “Yet it is among these crude and ignorant masses that one often finds the most ardent passions, the most elevated virtues, the most religious beliefs, and the most independent character<\/em>.” I think Dostoevsky’s depiction of the lower-class people is indeed comprehensive. Another interesting point: before reading this story, I was curious whether Keigo Higashino’s “Journey Under the Midnight Sun” had any connection to it, because the Chinese titles of the two are very similar. After reading it, I feel that Higashino might have been inspired by Dostoevsky, because although the two stories seem very different at first glance, they both fundamentally depict an unnoticed bond between a man and a woman in the vast sea of people and mundane world. I couldn’t find any literature or interviews to verify this connection, so it is all just my speculation.<\/p>\n

I read this book with the intention of gaining a systematic understanding of the U.S. political system, and after finishing it, I feel that it has indeed clarified the origins and structure of American democracy for me. One thing that particularly surprised me was learning that while the U.S. operates as a democracy domestically, its foreign policies are often non-democratic. According to the author, a Frenchman who visited the U.S. 200 years ago, the strongest foundation of American democracy lies in its people. The early European settlers in America were relatively equal in status, and influenced by Christianity, they emphasized morality. This moral foundation fostered a sense of contractual obligation, which in turn upheld the rule of law. Additionally, there were no significant conflicting interests among the states. Thus, the author argues that the strength of the U.S. democratic system is primarily rooted in the people, followed by the legal system, and finally by its geographical advantages. This is why the author repeatedly emphasizes that while the American system is excellent, it may not be the best for every country.<\/p>\n

I found the author’s analysis on despotism, centralization, political parties, democracy (specifically, the “tyranny of the majority”), and the situation of Black people and Native Americans to be insightful. However, his opinions of aristocracy and hereditary monarchy seemed overated. For instance, he claims that “in aristocratic governments, the ruling individuals are wealthy, and what they seek is power, not wealth… As a result, rulers in aristocratic nations are rarely corrupt and have little desire for money.<\/em>” He also states that “the greatest advantage of hereditary monarchy is that since the interests of a ruling family are closely tied to the nation’s, they would never disregard the country’s well-being.<\/em>” However, in the examples I have seen or heard of, power and wealth are inseparable. In extremely corrupt systems, wealth leads to power, and those in power tend to accumulate even more wealth. Those who crave power often crave wealth as well, and vice versa. Moreover, in a society where power is inherited, the interests of state’s is often belong to the ruling family or party, but these interests frequently conflict with those of the general public. In such cases, ordinary people often become the victims. Isn’t such a society terrifying?<\/p>\n

I also noticed that the author was a French aristocrat, sent by the July Monarchy to study the U.S., so it’s not surprising that he held such views. This limitation is a prime example of the saying, “Where you stand depends on where you sit.” Nevertheless, the book does offer a clear and comprehensive analysis of American democracy, examining it from the perspectives of geography, societal conditions, law, government, political parties, and race. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the subject.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
