Book Review|"The Original Return": A Day and a Lifetime
? Yuexia Sang created a world of Kantas. Kantas are the most powerful species in the universe. The Kantas of the primitive era made all animals tremble and tremble; in the cosmic era, they ruled all known galaxies, occupied the top of the pyramid of all industries, and were the dominant force in society. the absolute ruling class. Cool and cool, this is the first impression that outsiders have of Kantas. Meng Jiuzhao, the protagonist of "The Original Return", once thought so too.
? In the cosmic era, Emperor Louis I unified the galaxy, and human beings squeezed out all the use value of the earth and then went to other planets. Meng Jiuzhao was the last human being left behind. Then the Big Bang occurred, and Louis transformed into the Kantas prototype and stuffed Meng Jiuzhao into the time capsule. Meng Jiuzhao only grabbed one of Louis' feathers.
? A few years later, Kantas husband and wife Blake and Bai took the time capsule back home as an "egg", and the baby Meng Jiuzhao and the cub Louis were reborn into the primitive world. During this period, Meng Jiuzhao retained the memory of his past life, but Louis completely forgot it. After going through a series of events such as migration, joining the tribe, hunting, courting, etc., Meng Jiuzhao and Louis naturally became partners from family brothers, and also had a daughter Alice and a son George.
? Accompanying the warm family life is Meng Jiuzhao's in-depth understanding of the Kantas species, a race with strong contrasts in cuteness. The powerful and ferocious Kantas looked like a fluffy chicken when he was a child, with a tuft of dull hair on his head. For example, Louis was often mistaken for a chicken when he was a child; Kantas' favorite entertainment is rolling stones. Roll stones when you are happy, and roll stones when you are unhappy;
? Kantas are a species that extremely dotes on their children, and male Kantas will go through a lot of hardships Arriving at the breeding site, they build nests, hatch eggs, and raise cubs. They are willing to sacrifice everything for their cubs.
? In addition, Kantas will name their cubs according to their characteristics. For example, Meng Jiuzhao and Louis' uncle looked like a reed chicken when they were young, so they were named "Reed Chicken" by their father. "Gulunsa" sounds very noble, but actually it means black and white; most Kantas have superb aesthetic ability and like some very artistic things, such as reciting poems, singing, etc.; when Kantas are courting, They would steal other people's stones to build their nests, and fight if they were discovered...
? It can be said that "The Original Return" created the initial stage of the Kantas ethnic group. outline, while Yuexia Sang's subsequent "No Afterlife" further fills in other parts.
? The love in Yuexia Sang's works has always been natural and logical. Companions and family members who grew up together naturally become lifelong partners. "There is no afterlife", " "Sabbath", "Fantasy", "Older's Obligation", and "Original Return" are all the same, but these loves are different.
? "The Return of the Original" tells the story of two generations, most of which focuses on the original era, and only slightly mentions the cosmic era in Meng Jiuzhao's memories.
? Meng Jiuzhao and Louis were childhood sweethearts in the primitive era, and everything went as it should.
? Based on "The Original Return" and "No Afterlife", we can roughly infer the story of Louis and Meng Jiuzhao in the universe age. Meng Jiuzhao and Louis once studied at the Imperial University together, and they were classmates. Perhaps it was during this period that Louis fell in love with Meng Jiuzhao. Louis then won the battle for the golden blood of Kantas, ascended to the throne, unified the galaxy, and became the greatest emperor in history.
In the process of unifying the galaxy, the two had many quarrels due to different positions and concepts. Until the Big Bang came, Louis protected Meng Jiuzhao under his body and stuffed it into the time capsule.
? Louis *** saved Meng Jiuzhao twice, once in the Big Bang. The other time was during an earthquake in primitive times. Louis' remains protected Meng Jiuzhao from the danger above his head when he fell into a crack in the ground.
? In the previous life, Louis was ascetic and rigid, powerful and cruel, without any popularity. All his emotions and impulses are hidden under the sea of Meeru Island, hidden in the earth's artificial buildings at the bottom of the sea, and hidden in the window looking across. He loved her lonely and stubbornly, without saying a word and protecting her with his body. He supported himself in the dark underground for many years, waited for many years, and finally saw his lover again, and then fell into the underground.
? In his short and glorious life, one day was destined to be special. That day, perhaps there was chaos in time and space, or perhaps for other reasons, George broke into Hogby Castle and jumped on Louis' lap. In George's dream, Louis knew that at some point in the future, he would be with Meng Jiuzhao.
? The memory of this day may have supported Louis throughout his life.
? Some people have struggled with whether the reborn Louis is still the original Louis. Yuexia Sang gave a positive answer on Weibo. Louis in the primitive era would blurt out knowledge about Kantas that even Meng Jiuzhao didn't know. He would maintain his original aesthetics and hobbies, and his original habits. He just had no memory, but he was still the man who loved Meng Jiuzhao deeply. soul.
? This is the most desperate and warmest love I can think of.
? In addition to Meng Jiuzhao and Louis, who are described in thick and vivid colors, other characters are equally wonderful. The singer Snowflake who is good at braiding hair, the rabbit father who successfully transformed into a human form at the last moment of his life in order to save his son, the Kantas soul who saved Tooth (the name of a Kantas in the article) but did not want to give his name, and for "Mom and Dad" "Alice who climbed ashore...sometimes just a few strokes write out a person's life, which makes people feel lonely and trembling.
? If we follow the timeline, the timeline of "Primal Return" and "No Afterlife" should be: the age of the universe - the era of "No Afterlife" - the primitive era . What is gratifying is that in "The Original Return" we once again see the fat boy Pulenguli in "No Afterlife". However, in the primitive era, his name was "Meng". He was the grandfather of Meng Jiuzhao and Louis, and the father of Gu Lunza, Black and Bai. He was strong and happy, just as Mr. Sisser wanted him to be.
? Going round and round, the story returns to its original starting point, how wonderful and magical it is.
? However, there is so much beauty and happiness, but I am sad for Louis in my previous life.
? The happiness of that day was used to support the pain of not having the love of my life. In the end, it was still difficult to calm down.
