Movie Review ― Creation of the Gods I: Kingdom of Storms

I’m not familiar with Investiture of the Gods story, either in the form of literary work, movie, TV series/webdrama, animation or any other. I know, more or less, the figure of Nezha, but that is all. So, watching this movie, I’m not even sure I have something to say about it, much less any critical comment. But, at the very least, I have some things in my mind.

Going blindly into it, I thanked God there is an introductory narrative at the beginning; and in only a few words it succeeds in delivering what the audience generally need to know. The first scene is also very clever and beautifully shown: a flake of snow falling from the sky and landing on the eye of a dead soldier―surrounding him are piles of more dead bodies, behind him is the gate to Jizhou, whose lord Su Hu rebels against the King of Shang and thus has to face thousands and thousands of Shang dynasty soldiers led by the King’s second son, Yin Shou.

So the movie actually starts with the battle between Jizhou and Shang grandly shot with snow, rain of arrows, fire and loud, heart-pumping music at the background. It pauses a little bit to ‘introduce’ the relationship between Yin Shou and his son Yin Jiao, and between Yin Jiao and his best friend Ji Fa (our main character and narrator) who not only ride side by side but also cover up each other before their commander. And then the battle continues with more loud music and more fire but with, much to my disappointment, shorter screen time and slowly progresses to a more individual fight. The scene at the Xuanyuan Tomb, though, leads the audience to the point at which we all kind of have expected it turns―the appearance of Su Daji and what her character has to offer in the next phase after collapsing in front of our ‘hero’.

If you think this introductory scenes run too hasty and are too packed, well, I don’t think there was anything the director could do since they already have a more-than-two-hours-long output whereas they have to tell the audience a more-or-less whole and understandable story. It only slows a bit down when everything and everybody moves back to Zhao Ge, but still, the death of both the King and the first prince is all of a sudden. The plot moves forward as fast and steady as the horses’ gallops in the battlefield, but at times it is too fast that we are made breathless with so many details jammed tightly into the ‘short’ duration. And often times the editing (I seriously don’t get how it could win an award in best editing category) is so jarring we start to think there are some things missing in the middle (and yes, they cut a lot of scenes). Watching this movie is painfully like being thrown information after information continuously just so we can see the big picture but not more. Even the friendship between Yin Jiao and Ji Fa (the very foundation of the entire story through to the still-unreleased two sequels) is not shown quite properly due to the cutting. Even if the audience ship them, the CP feeling is not anywhere in the air until Ji Fa saves the escaping Yin Jiao and, before running through the water channel, Yin Jiao touches Ji Fa’s hand and says, “If you let me go, what about you?”; and that’s way too late already.

The look, the visual, the CGI do not help, either. The first time I watched it I almost laughed out loud at the setting of the court in Zhao Ge, which looks so old and raw and cheap. I can understand that this movie is five years old already, but still, even a Chinese webdrama/TV series could look so much better in 2018. Unless you can have some laxity and think that’s how the palace of the Shang dynasty should look like, then you won’t care too much about it. And the CGI is the worst, really such a shame for such a grand of a movie―especially when Nezha, riding on his fire wheels, saves the working slaves and Yang Jian fights off the swarming Shang soldiers to escape from the palace.

Despite all those shortcomings, thankfully, the cast was very well chosen for each and every role. People might raise their eyebrows at Wuershan’s decision to hire new, inexperienced, young actors to play most of the important characters; but that decision has proven right and the best. The highlight here is, of course, Naran who plays the new version of Su Daji. She does not only offer you a stunning beauty, but most importantly an impeccable acting performance: her eyes, her expressions, her gestures, are all on point! The second one I want to put under the spotlight is Yu Shi. He came to the training camp being clueless most of the time, but his natural talent surprisingly shines brightly on screen. He can portray very well the ‘innocent’, good-natured Ji Fa who is not really sure where to put his loyalty: his own father, or the king he whole-heartedly and blindly admires. And when he finally realizes he has been brainwashed he doesn’t lose that 'good boy' look on his face, only looking more mature and determined.

The third point I want to make here is, of course, Chen Muchi playing Yin Jiao, the second most important young character in the movie. He was actually not the best trainee at the training camp, and particularly not the best in the Yin Jiao group. He was very good at physical training, that goes without saying since he was once a soldier, but not much at acting or any other art department. I even almost believe Wuershan picked him to play Yin Jiao merely because, if you have an insanely well-built, damn fucking hot father, then you have to have a son who looks so, too. The father-and-son aura is also there: just put them together in one frame (e.g. their appearance at the Milan Fashion Week) and you will believe that they are truly father and son in real life. He had tried his best during the shooting, and we can see the result on screen, but still. He has improved now, though, and is so much better in The Starry Love (2023) and South Sea Tomb (2023), both of which are his projects years after completing this movie. That can only mean he is willing to learn again and again. And if he keeps going, I don’t doubt he will become a very good actor in the future. He is like a sword still being forged and waiting to be brandished at an opportune time.

Young actors aside, the reliable, senior actors are there to save the day. Li Xuejian! Fei Xiang! Yuan Quan! And without Huang Bo this movie will not be what it is now. He, as Jiang Ziya, is not only the true ‘carrier’ of the whole story, but his comic character and sense of humor bring light to the dark narrative so the audience won’t be ridiculously stressful for two and a half hours. Yuan Quan as the Queen, however, is the one whose character I liked the most. When everybody is literally clueless about the reigning King’s questionable character and that there is actually something wrong, the Queen can already see through it all. She is a determined, knows-what-she-is-doing kind of woman; and she dares, and is willing, to challenge the King to set the wrong things right.

Honestly speaking, I am not a fan of Wuershan. I watched Painted Skin 2 (2012), which was also directed by him, and it was such a huge disappointment for me compared to the first one. Watching Creation of the Gods I: Kingdom of Storms, I honestly think it will never EVER be one of my favorite movies. Perhaps because it’s a fantasy, and I’m not a fan of the genre; or perhaps because of the story itself. I strangely kind of enjoyed it, and have watched it four times for a different reason each. I am looking forward to the upcoming sequel now, but once it gets too fantastical and involves too many god plotlines instead of human ones, then I may just raise my eyebrows and go on with another stuff―which will very much likely be.

What I very much appreciate about this movie is the a-lot-of effort and love and sincerity they put into it. You can see those in how they tried so hard to present you with a good and logical story (though quite awkward due to the editing), how they tried so hard to give you grand action scenes (though very much awkward due to horrible CGI) and how they trained so hard the new, young actors from scratch for six months in a comprehensive training camp. They didn’t even care if they had to wait for five years to be able to release it in theaters. This is not a movie, this is a token of love.

And that love goes beyond everything for they, after five years of hibernation and finally releasing the first installment, went on and reshot some scenes for the last one. People say this movie is a rare product of Chinese cinema, but I’d say it’s a rare gem treated with so much care. Although I wouldn’t say it’s a particularly great movie in every aspect, it’s the result of superb craftmanship with love and hard work, and needs to be appreciated more than anything else.

Rating: 8.5/10

a person after my own heart <3

the 质子 hostage prince trope has a special place in my heart, always. so that was the storyline that captured me the most in creation of the gods 2023. i wish the whole movie was dedicated to exploring it.

800 sons ripped away from the families at a young age, collectively handed over to an evil evil man who plans to train and groom them into his personal boy/adopted son army. poisons them against their biological fathers and make them idealize him as the only worthy father figure in their lives. the way ji fa and some of the other boys slowly, creepily realize their "father" might be heinous and cruel and power-hungry, but they're stuck with him in the palace and there's seemingly no escape for them anymore. even the internal politics of boys who want to resist and flee v. boys who are wholly brainwashed and committed to their evil "father" was so fun.

if creation of the gods 2023 wasn't a mythic action blockbuster film, we could have had it all........

⭐️Great News to my friends Of Fantasy Films & The Fox Demon Hulijing⭐️

In my journey to China I stopped in Hong Kong and watched The Creation of the Gods I: Kingdom of Storms (封神第一部：朝歌风云)

The Film is directed by Wuershan

📚It is the first film in the Creation of the Gods trilogy, adapted from the 16th-century fantasy novel Investiture of the Gods written by the Ming dynasty author Xu Zhonglin.

I was a bit scared to go because lately I have been so disappointed to all the computer tricks and thin storylines such as the House of the Dragon💩 This was made with big 💰and the story is great!

Without any spoilers (🚨beware Of any trailers also that what I have liked) Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

🫀If you have followed me earlier you might know that I post about the witches, femme fatales, folklore, art and history from the psychological perspective or actually psychoanalysis. In this film such a character is the Fox demon. In Korea it is called Gumiho, in Japan Kitsune.

🎥In Chinese screen Hulijing has been seen for example in Painted Skin (Chinese: 畫皮) 2008. Typically fox spirits were seen as dangerous, but some of the stories are love stories between human & demon, like that one.

🦊Belief in fox spirits Is still alive & well in some areas of Asia. From the psychoanalytical view these castration fantasies are really interesting. However in China Demons are part of nature, even where there is no fox demon, no village can be established. It should be added that like in this movie the evil is in men and the human desire is the key point, Fox is just answering to that. Connection to witch believes is that this succubus-like character steals the male energy, can cause impotence or kills men (eats their hearts). A lot like in the witch lore & demonology.

A young fox can appear as a young woman. An older one can take either form. The millennial fox becomes a celestial being. 💫

You heard it first from Soul Sanitarium 🙏 follow for more

随感 #12 (Random Thoughts #12)

好像在我的地方有两部中国电影正在上映：《封神第一部：朝歌风云》和《孤注一掷》。我一个朋友说只有后者电影很好看，另外一个朋友说这两部电影都很没错，不过如果我要看前者电影的话，最好先熟悉了中华神话。无论如何，我的小镇电影院不上映这两部电影，我必须去大城市来看看，是开一个小时的车（或者做火车）。我就想一想很值得看这两部电影？我得花一个小时去大城市，两三个小时看电影，最后再一个小时回家。不，我会等待电影在流媒体上。

Right now, there are two movies in theatres in the area I live: "Creation of Gods" and "No More Bets". One of my Chinese friends said that it's better to see the latter while another friend said that both movies are not bad, although if I wanted to see the former, I have to at least be familiar with Chinese mythology. In any case, the little town I'm in doesn't show either movie so I have to go to the bigger city to watch it which is an hour by car (similar time by train). I only wonder if it's worth it because I am spending one hour to go there, two to three hours to see the movie and another hour to go home. Nope, I will wait until they are on streaming sites.

【原创百合】一期一会

当人们形容一个人十分美好时，大多会用到类似“人间四月天”这样的句子来形容。四月是柔嫩喜悦，是轻灵聘婷，是鲜妍明媚，是天真庄严。蒋以恩能想到许许多多形容四月天的词语，但是四月的春风吹拂到身上是一种什么样的感觉呢，她几乎快忘记了。自从坠楼死亡不知几年后，她便作为一只幽灵被困在这个街区，身为非人之物，阳光雨露花香这类的自然风物便再也无法像从前那样感知，春风从她身旁吹过，和她一同坐在树下的人们发梢随风摇摆，绿树嫩枝细细颤动，唯有她依旧是静止的。往好处想，至少她也感觉不到寒冷与饥饿，这对她度过无数个寒冬日夜可是帮了大忙。

蒋以恩是三年前邻校“意外坠亡”的，邻校是所财经大学，与音乐学院仅隔了两条街的距离，二者在地理上遥相呼应。她从小的梦想就是能够从事与音乐相关的工作，却在家人的半逼迫式的建议下念了财经大学。死亡原因倒也不是因此心有不甘，毕竟即使念了财经大学，也并不意味着彻底断绝了与音乐的联系，条条大路通罗马，她还是有信心能在将来作出改变，得到想要的工作。或许是家里乱七八糟的事，也或许是遗传了祖母是不是发作的疯病，也不知是不是在大学遇见了一些糟糕的老师和室友。总之，她在二十岁那年，一个平静无风，月色温柔的夜晚，凌晨三点，穿着白天的装束，从寝室楼七层跃下。可是自己究竟有什么至深的执念，深重到无法转世重新进入轮回，深重到像个地缚灵一样被困在这片小小的土地上呢。蒋以恩在月夜思索着，思绪如一团黑雾，仿佛快要抓住什么的时候，思绪又骤然断裂，随之而来的是剧烈的疼痛，席卷全身的每个关节。

都不重要了。反正自己已经不再是人类了。半透明的蒋以恩飘荡到邻校的音乐学院，校园里种了许多樱树，现在正是樱花盛开的季节，许多学生聚集在树下拍照，写生，当然，也不乏聚在一起约会的年轻情侣。

“你们听说了吗，独角兽乐队周日傍晚会在西区操场举办演出欸。”

“我正打算问你们要不要去呢。那个主唱超级厉害，人还很好。”

“还是个美人呢。”

“学校还有几个人不知道她呢。听说她高中不是艺术生，是真的吗？”

“对，天希学姐说，赵予惠之前是市一中的理科生，临近高考才准备报考咱们学校，结果集训了两个月就考上了。而且还是全校第二的成绩录取的呢。”

“毕竟是市一中的大佬，和我们这些凡人不一样。”

“而且还是高考化学满分的大佬。”

“我去，确实比不起。”

“简直就是风云人物嘛。”

“可不是。”

“而且那个鼓手也很帅气。”

“对对对，超级正的帅哥。”

“据说乐队成员都是内部消化欸，你猜他们会不会……”

“一般都是主唱和吉他手。”

“确实，他们两个关系也挺好的。”

“不过那个吉他手和鼓手也好配啊。”

“哈哈哈哈哈也是。”

几人说着从蒋以恩身边走过，其中一人径直从蒋以恩身体中穿过去了。

“我去，怎么突然这么冷。”那人打了个冷战。

“没有啊，你感冒了啊。”

“就是，风都没有，冷什么啊。”

“你不会鬼上身了吧。”栗色卷发的女孩笑着说道。

“绝对不可能。我可是坚定的唯物主义者。”

女孩们逐渐走远，蒋以恩依旧站在远处。赵予惠这个名字几乎每天都有人提起，蒋以恩到目前为止已经听到不知多少次了。那个19级的女孩，绑着利落的马尾，嘴角总是挂着若有若无的微笑，对谁都十分温柔和煦。蒋以恩原本并没有打算吸引这些年轻而充满活力的学生们的注意，也从不对任何人格外的上心，生前死后都是如此。然而不知道是不是她的错觉，去年秋日的一个早上，她照样在这个校园里游荡，在弘毅楼三楼504教室门口，赵予惠竟注意到了她，向站在窗外凝望的蒋以恩报以温暖的微笑。蒋以恩朝身后望去，并没有任何人站在那里。上课期间走廊上除了她再无旁人。

“你看得见我？”蒋以恩惊讶地问道。

“玻璃是透明的啊。”

蒋以恩伸出手，穿过关着的窗玻璃，意料之外地摸到了赵予惠的脸颊。她的脸颊温暖柔软，就像清晨温暖的太阳。蒋以恩时隔经年，再一次亲手触碰到如此鲜活的生命，万千感慨涌上心头，一时愣住了。

女孩的手比冰还要冷，赵予惠终于意识到蒋以恩话里的涵义。“你是……”

“死人。也可以说是幽灵。”

“你在自言自语些什么呢？”同桌问她。

“没什么。”她再次望向窗外时，蒋以恩已经离开了。

春风吹过，樱花随风飘落枝头，穿过她的身体掉落地面。樱花是的气味是什么呢？她快忘记了。况且幽灵没有嗅觉，也没有触觉，一切物体都会径直穿过身体掉落地面，仿佛她并不存在。

赵予惠再一次看见蒋以恩是在周日傍晚西区田径场乐队正式开演的时候。她就站在第一排，直勾勾地盯着她。和周围疯狂尖叫的人群不同，蒋以恩只是静静地站在那儿，目光不曾离开她片刻。那双黑色的瞳孔在暗夜下几乎快与深沉的夜空融在一起，即使周围的人群密度已经是摩肩接踵的程度，她也仿佛仅仅是孤身一人，和他们身处两个全然不同的世界。如果有热成像仪就可以发现，周围的人都是暖洋洋的橙红色，唯独她是冰冷的蓝紫色。赵予惠直觉这与幽灵和人类的体温差并没有关系，真正让她如此冰凉的是那颗尘封了不知道多久的心。赵予惠温柔地对视上那双漆黑的眼眸，对她浅浅的微笑。这并非出于同情，而是近乎本能的动作，原因很简单，在双亲的爱浸润中成长的孩子，天生就如同太阳般温暖。意料之外，赵予惠那双灰暗的眼眸闪过一束光芒，也露出了微笑。

演出结束后，赵予惠拉住蒋以恩的手，停下了她打算离开的步伐，随后，一人一鬼在星辉满布的夜空下沿着操场红色塑胶跑道缓缓地走着。

“跟我说说你的事吧。为什么只有我能看见你呢？”

“我也不清楚。虽然我可以试着让自己在特定的人眼前显形，但是如果缺乏特殊的契机，还是没法成功。可能这就是缘分吧。怎么，要过来陪我吗？”说到最后，蒋以恩忍不住笑了。

“你一直都是一个人吗？你总是给我一种很孤独的感觉。”

蒋以恩沉默许久方才回答道：“我已经习惯了，怎样都无所谓。或许我天生就只适合独处，所以大学四年一个能说话的朋友也没有。我也试图过跟舍友说话，分享自己的小零食，主动提出和她们一起去聚餐。但是最后发现一切不过是我的一厢情愿而已，她们五个人没有我会玩得更开心。人总要学会和自己相处，所以我必须放下那些无聊的妄想。”

“你说谎。”赵予惠停下脚步，看着蒋以恩。“没有人是一座孤岛，无论是谁都需要友情和陪伴。如果真的像你所说的那样，你已经习惯一个人，那为什么你过了那么久才回答我的问题？而且你的声音，表情都在告诉我你并不是那样想的。这套说辞不过是给自己的借口。”

“或许你是对的。”

“我听说人死后都会进入轮回，如果有尚未了结的心愿，或者强烈的执念，只能留在现世，直到心结打开才能入轮回，是这样吗？”

“差不多。我死的时候无常说我的灵魂太过沉重，没有办法勾走，只能维持现在这样的状态，被困在这条街道。话说，你会是那个渡我的人吗？”

“我会尽力的。”蒋以恩不过随口一说，赵予惠却十分认真地应承下来。“既然你生前总是独自一人，那现在就由我来做你的朋友吧。我和你分享日常，你跟我说说积压在心底的旧事。我相信有一天你也会有全新的事情想要跟我分享。”

“要是我经常来找你吐苦水，你一定很快就厌倦我了吧。“

“怎么会呢？我愿意做你的新朋友，只要能驱散你心里的阴翳，我什么都会做的。”

“可是到那时候我就不得不消失了。到时候我舍不得你怎么办？”

“若是缘分未尽，我相信我们一定会再见面的。”

女孩住的宿舍是四人间，待其他三人不在宿舍时，蒋以恩就会飘进去和她玩闹。

赵予惠的枕边放着一个半旧的大嘴猴玩偶。“你很喜欢大嘴猴吗？”

“那倒不是，我本人更偏爱海豚。但是那个玩偶是妈妈送给我的，所以就一直带在身边咯。每次心情不好的时候，看到它就会好很多。”

“你们母女关系看上去很好嘛。”蒋以恩有些羡慕。

“她的性格超级可爱，唱歌也很好听，偶尔也会对我唱歌方面提出意见，不过我完全不会听。”赵予惠笑道。

“为什么呢？”

“按照她的那种唱法，就是民族唱法了，可是我学的是流行唱法啊。所以每次她在旁边说，我就假装点头答应，但根本不会照着做。”赵予惠揉了揉玩偶的脑袋，笑着看向蒋以恩。“对了，你妈妈是怎样的人呢。”

“普普通通勉勉强强，和我期待中的母亲完全是两个人。”

“怎么说呢？”

“说来话长。”

“没事，我可以慢慢听。而且今天一下午都没课，我们有的是时间。”

“生前我的身体情况一直很差，头痛得快要裂开，也经常连气都喘不上来。而且情绪一直很糟糕，不止一次地计划过怎么死会比较好。找不到活着的意义，仿佛一切不幸都是自己的过错。虽然我妈妈有些方面做得并不好，但是我没办法责备她。即使我对她有太多的埋怨，但是我依旧不能停止爱她，所以我只能责备自己的无能。她已经为我付出太多，熬夜加班同时打两份工供我上大学，已经足够辛苦了。她不肯带我去医院，是因为她那个年纪的人大多数都对精神上的问题没有概念，这不是她的过错，所以我不能怪她；她总是骂我晚上不睡，白天困��要死，自作自受，不自己调节，是因为她不了解这疾病的具体情况；她在我无法控制情绪，因为一点点小事就被激怒的时候骂我是疯子，虽然让我很难过，但是不知者无罪，我不能责怪她，毕竟我当时的话说得也太过分了。她在我多次试图自杀的时候跟我说我就是想博取关注，她不会陷入我的套路。一切都是因为她们那个年代的人知识有限，只知道身体会生病，对大脑也会生病完全没概念。

但是随着时间流逝，我身体的疼痛开始四处蔓延，好几次我都怀疑自己是不是快死了，但是仪器诊断结果却是一切正常。她越来越不信任我，觉得我是在演戏。考上大学以后，因为我总是一个人待着，从来不说话，要么就是深夜不睡觉，在楼顶站着看着下面的水泥地。课表上的课程也没有去上，因为我光是活着就很辛苦了，实在是没有别的精力去做任何事。我在学校没有任何朋友，甚至连比较常说话的人也没有。我不记得具体是什么时候从楼顶跳下来的。只记得那天的月亮很圆，星星也很亮，是个很美的夜晚。”

赵予惠伸手抱住她，温柔地抚摸着她的头发。“就让我先给你念首诗吧。假如生活欺骗了你/不要悲伤，不要心急！/忧郁的日子里须要镇静：/相信吧，快乐的日子将会来临！/心儿永远向往着未来；/现在却常是忧郁：/一切都是瞬息，一切都将会过去；/而那过去了的，就会成为亲切的怀恋。”

这突如其来温暖的怀抱让她一瞬间愣住了，脑海中的什么回忆似乎开始浮现了，但是又立刻消散无踪。她已经很久没有收到过别人的拥抱了，不论是生前还是死后。但这温暖的怀抱无端的让她觉得十分怀念，仿佛在什么时候拥有过，却始终记��起来。

“予惠……”蒋以恩轻声唤道。随后，有什么温热的液体从脸上滑落下来，过了许久她才意识到那是自己的眼泪。冰冷的鬼魂终于找到了属于她的太阳。自那以后，二人便形影不离，准确来说，更像是她单方面地主动缠着予惠。她的小太阳在学校有着许许多多的爱慕者，也有不少玩的好的朋友。她看着予惠收到一封又一封包含情意的书信，和好友手挽着手出去逛街，尝遍各种美味小吃，和乐队的朋友一起忘情地遨游在音乐的海洋之中。这些事情对于蒋以恩来说原本没有什么吸引力，然而现在她心里似乎已经悄悄埋下一颗种子，正在飞快地生长发芽，将她的心揪得十分难受。头一次，她开始嫉妒那些拥有身体，可以感受到冷热酸甜的肉体凡胎，开始嫉妒予惠身边的那些朋友，能够那样轻易地将予惠从自己身边叫走，让她从温暖的阳光中强行抽离，被迫再一次成为没有声音，也无法参与的旁观者。若是从未感受过阳光，她本可以忍受这样的冰冷，可是现在不同了，她再也回不去了。想要独占阳光的想法驱使着她，一定要想办法夺回自己的太阳，让自己的太阳只为自己闪耀。

递来情书的那些家伙暂时不用对付，他们无一例外都被赵予惠拒绝了。最为麻烦的是那几个随时随地都恨不得和赵予惠黏在一起的女生，一起上课，一起去食堂，一起去操场，甚至连上厕所都要成群结队的。简直让人难以忍受。不过蒋以恩并非怨恨化身的厉鬼，并没有什么能够伤到人的法术，更何况她还触碰不到任何东西。好在她发现，只要是属于赵予惠的物品，她都能接触到。因此，她便趁赵予惠上课时，进入宿舍，拿走赵予惠的水果刀，飘进那几个女生锁着的衣柜，在柜门内刻下了恶毒的诅咒。随后抖落小刀上站着的木屑，将小刀放回原位。随后又拿走蒋以恩桌上的墨水瓶，将黑色墨水泼在那几个女生的床上。

就结果而言，蒋以恩的行动还是蛮成功的。这件事情很快就传遍了整个学校，甚至惊动了当地的警察。几天的调查下来，他们没有找到任何线索，也就不了了之。赵予惠也曾和她提起过这件校园奇谈，蒋以恩也佯装不知，事情就这样搪塞过去了。令人恼火的是，那几个女生并没有就此离开学校。蒋以恩索性一不做二不休，再一次拿走了予惠的黑色记号笔和水果刀。那几个女生和赵予惠并不住在同一间宿舍，所以蒋以恩可以毫不费力地避开赵予惠的目光，肆无忌惮地恐吓她们。在她们入睡后，用记号笔在她们脸上写下诅咒，在她们的床帘上留下远离予惠的警告。完成之后，再用小刀割破她们的脖子，留下一道长长的、浅浅的伤口。

“要是还不肯离开我的女孩，就杀了你们哦。”蒋以恩冷冰冰地笑道。

这一次效果十分显著，恐惧和流言迅速传遍了整个校园，蒋以恩成功达到了自己的目的，再也没有人敢靠近赵予惠，也再也没有人敢和她说话。赵予惠十分沮丧，看起来恹恹的，蒋以恩并不在意，在她心里，予惠始终是那个温暖的太阳，现下这种状况，倒是正好让她能够整天和予惠在一起，再也不用被无关的人打扰。

“以恩，你真的一点线索也没有吗？”赵予惠再一次问道。

“我几经说过好多次了，我不清楚。”蒋以恩毫不犹豫地否认了。“干嘛总是说那些无关人的事情呢？我更想听你自己的事。”

“这个学校里面还有其他幽灵吗？”

“现在还没有。如果有的话，我也不会孤单这么久。”

“你说，谁能躲过所有监控，在不破坏锁的前提下进入宿舍，刻下那些文字？而且她们都说，亲眼看见了悬浮在空中的刀。我实在很难怀疑这是拥有实体的活人做的。”

“都说了不要说那些无聊的事情了嘛。”蒋以恩隐隐感觉到有些危险。

“这个学校，或者这附近，真的没有其他幽灵吗？”赵予惠继续逼问。

“我的活动范围只有这条街，就算有其他幽灵存在，平时也几乎不会碰到。再说了，你又看不见他们，就算发现是其中一个幽灵做的又能怎样呢？”

“你可以让他们停下吗？不要再恶作剧了。”

“找鬼魂做事可是要付出代价的哟。”蒋以恩笑着说道。“你愿意吗？”

“什么意思？”

“我要你永远留在这里，做我的爱人。”蒋以恩眼中闪烁着狂热的光芒，抓住赵予惠的手，将她摁在墙上。“永远和我在一起，永不分离。后悔也好，怨恨也罢，不管是什么样的情感，都能够将你永远留在我身边。”

“你……”赵予惠先是脸上闪过一阵红晕，随后意识到以恩话里的另一层含义，顿时失去血色。“不会……是你做的吧？”

“没办法，她们总是占着你，我都没有办法和你单独相处了。”蒋以恩凑得更近了，赵予惠可以清晰地感受到她身上寒冷的气息。“现在好了，我终于可以独自拥有你了。”

“你怎么可以这样？”赵予惠流泪了。

“不许你为她们流泪，你只能是我的。从头到尾，所有的一切，都只能是我的。”蒋以恩擦去予惠的泪水，自顾自地亲吻上她的嘴唇。“你跑不了。”

“为什么要这样？”赵予惠啜泣着。

“因为嫉妒，因为占有欲，因为爱。”蒋以恩将手伸到予惠裙下。“你能说对我一点也没有动心吗？我的手指可是真真切切地感受到你的热情了哦。”

“不要这样，至少不要在这里。”予惠哀求着。“宿舍门没锁，她们几个随时会回来。”

“没有人会看见的。”

“以恩……”

“那你来也可以，我不会介意的。”

蛇成功引诱了夏娃，使她犯下注定被放逐出伊甸园的罪孽，以恩成功占有了自己的太阳。平日里处变不惊，冷静自持的予惠因自己而情难自已，颤栗失控，无论是生理上还是心理上都给了以恩巨大的满足。

“我既是你的太阳，就一定会拯救你。”予惠亲吻着怀里冰冷的幽灵。“无论你对我做了什么，我都会尽数接受。”

“你以为自己是地藏王菩萨吗？打算亲自入地狱拯救我？不怕将自己燃烧殆尽吗。”

“如果这是我的命运，我会毫不犹豫地接受。”

“这种拯救游戏让你自我感觉很满足吗？”以恩眼里闪烁着戏谑的笑意，手指搭上予惠的脖子，扼住她的呼吸，在她将要喘不过气的时候，又松开力道。看着予惠大口咳嗽喘息着，以恩笑出了声。“恨我吗？我会拉着你一起坠落下去哟。”

“我一定会把你从黑暗中拯救出来。”

“未免太自以为是了吧。我只想把你拉到我这边来而已。”以恩掏出口袋里的水果刀，将刀刃抵在予惠脖子上。“予惠，说不定你就是上天赠与我的恩惠呢。是时候了，到我这边来吧。我已经一个人好久好久了，终于等到你了。”

让以恩没想到的是，予惠直接抓住以恩握着刀的手，主动将刀刃嵌入自己皮肉之中。“你虽然确确实实对我的朋友做了很过分的失去，也用刀子威胁过她们，但是你从始至终都没有真正地对她们下死手吧。这样的你，真的舍得取走我的生命吗？”

以恩有些慌了，不过她依旧强装镇定。“你是在打赌吗？”

“是我没有及时对你说清楚，你自始至终都是我最特别的人。没有给你足够的安全感，你才会做出那些事情。”予惠抚摸着幽灵冰凉的脸颊。“你绝对不是一个坏人。”

“你说这些话是在哄骗我，还是出自本心呢？”

“我绝不会对你说谎。”

“我只是一个阴暗又恶毒的家伙，你怎么会喜欢上我呢？”

“一开始或许只是怜爱，但你眼中的爱意、狂热，甚至是占有、嫉妒都在不停地吸引着我。我的朋友，以及家人都以为我是循规蹈矩的乖乖女，但是如果我灵魂之中没有叛逆的反骨，又怎会违背家人的意愿放弃进入编制，来到这个学校，选择这个专业，组建家人都不看好的乐队呢。说起来，你我都是同类人，所以，你对我来说比起任何人都具有致命的吸引力。”

“你为什么不早点告诉我？现在的学校，还有谁会靠近你呢。”以恩将头埋进予惠的怀里，低声啜泣着。

“别担心，都会过去的。”予惠抚摸着以恩的头发，柔声安慰着她。“就把这些当作是我爱上你的代价吧。”

“遇见你真是太好了。”

“对我来说也是一样的啊。”予惠主动亲吻了以恩的嘴唇。不知道是否是她的错觉，怀里的幽灵逐渐开始变得不再那么冰冷，甚至变得有些温暖。孤独的鬼魂终于不再寂寞，两人心底埋藏的爱意也互相知晓，故事看上去十分圆满。然而蒋以恩只是鬼魂，由怨气郁结而久久停留，不愿转世的鬼魂。留在此世的唯一原因就是生前凝重的寂寞，当这寂寞消散，她也会随之消失，转世成为全新的人。她们彼此相爱，却注定分开。

在天那之后，赵予惠发现蒋以恩一点点变得透明，渐渐地，自己再也无法触碰到她，每每伸出手去，只能穿透她的身体，触摸到温暖的空气。予惠试图和以恩一起拍照，但是照片上只留下自己的面影。

她悲伤地发现，无法留下自己和蒋以恩在一起的任何证据，也没有任何东西可以留下来做念想，蒋以恩的存在没有任何方式能够被记录下来。她有些不甘，却也无可奈何。

“没关系。”以恩安慰她。“再唱一次歌给我听吧。”

“再等一等，我要写一首专属于你的歌，亲自弹吉他唱给你听。”

“真好。”以恩开心地笑了。“我会等着的。”

然而予惠没想到的是，在她写完、排练好，在樱花树下弹着吉他将自己的心声唱给她听之后，以恩幸福地笑着，在她唇上落下温暖的一吻，随后逐渐消散在空中。

“以恩！”予惠忍不住哭出来。

“我们一定还会再见面的。”

好在爱神并不是冷酷之人，就如《牡丹亭》中所言，情之所至，生者可以死，死者可以生。以恩并没有彻底消失，她只是换了个样子，在这世界的某个地方，重新以一个人的身份睁开了眼睛。纯白的世界中传出一声婴儿的啼哭，若是缘分未尽，她们终有一天会再次相遇。只不过或许不会再是爱人了。

世界上的水都相通——评电影《最后的贵族》

读罢白先勇先生的《纽约客》中《谪仙记》，《最后的贵族》这样一个看似十分接地气的电影标题在我心里却有些难以接受。“谪仙”一词，指神仙被贬入凡间的一种状态，中国古代的谪仙李白，是超凡脱俗的化身。小说中的“谪仙”，便是女主人公李彤，她的人生，是从优渥的富家千金身份向放浪自我的转变，她从上海到纽约，最后到威尼斯的这段经历，便是“谪仙记”。《最后的贵族》这个题目虽看似不如《谪仙记》般“文艺”，但电影终究是大��化的产物，观众的观影兴趣往往会被电影标题所影响，如若观众不了解“谪仙”的来历，自然无法提味白先勇先生的匠心所在；但《最后的贵族》中，“最后”与“贵族”两个限定词在一定程度上能够满足观众的窥探欲：为什么是最后的贵族？最后的贵族生活又是怎样的？

《谪仙记》这一故事本身不复杂，李彤、黄慧芬、张嘉行和雷芷��是四个好姐妹，她们都出身于上海的上流社会，但在1946年复杂的时代背景下，她们被父母一同送到纽约。李彤在父母因“太平轮”事件去世后，便开始自我堕落：赌马、酗酒，她的三个朋友陆续结婚，过着平淡安稳的生活，唯有她始终不肯安定，小说的结局是她在威尼斯投水自尽。《最后的贵族》整部电影的节奏在我看来略微有些拖沓，真正的高潮是在李彤前往威尼斯，也就是电影最后的十分钟。文学改编电影本身为电影提供了许多的留白之处，但《最后的贵族》中对于《谪仙记》留白部分的处理在我看来褒贬不一。

首先是我个人不太喜欢的改编。《谪仙记》中是以黄慧芬的丈夫陈寅的视角来展开整个故事，“陈寅”是在和黄慧芬结婚后才了解李彤，从他的叙述中体现出偏爱与怜悯的复杂情感；但电影中，濮存昕饰演的陈寅从一开场便于潘虹饰演的李彤有所交集，二人甚至有情感纠葛，以至于会给观众一种错觉，李彤最后的自我堕落是否与陈寅有关？这与白先勇先生的创作意图是完全相悖的。二是导演总有生硬制造前后对应之嫌，李彤作为富家小姐，在小说中本身就带有些许轻浮与骄纵，但电影改编将她前期塑造成一个拥有远大抱负（“我要进联合国，像父亲一样，做一个外交官”）的Honor Roll Student,在遭受父母双亡的打击后便自我堕落，离开朋友去自我闯荡，结识各色人等，最后做了富商的情妇，这样刻意生造的前后对比其实对深化人物形象并没有起太大的作用。三是导演强行添加了一个李彤因袭警而入狱的情节，陈寅作为律师前去搭救，最后二人在酒吧彻夜长谈，虽然导演意在突出李彤在陈寅面前的“朴素”，即李彤将陈寅视作知己，但这一情节却体现了李彤的“作”与陈寅的“渣”，这样的情节设置实在是让我觉得有些累赘。

再来谈谈我比较喜欢的改动。《谪仙记》中，姐妹四人只有李彤一人未婚，但在电影中，导演将雷芷苓塑造成为一个苦苦等待男友，努力进行科研工作的女性形象，在我看来，这一人物设定是有其深意的。我们常规意义上所认为的“贵族”，是十指不沾阳春水的，但当飘零至异国他乡，“贵族”的身份不复存在，像雷芷苓这般踏实学习工作，努力融入他乡才是导演心目中“谪仙”真正的形象。

整部电影我最喜欢的改动，或者说是对情节的扩充，是李彤在威尼斯的经历。当她到达威尼斯时，整部电影从美国纽约浓烈明亮的阳光向一种黄调的荒凉转变，她一个人裹着头巾在广场喂鸽子，走过父母曾经走过的地方，最后在咖啡馆和一名俄罗斯籍小提琴手相遇。小提琴悠扬的琴声使她思绪万千，在与小提琴手的交谈中，导演顺理成章地引出了“homesick”这一主题，自她作别中国那一日起，她无时无刻不在homesick，但父母的故去、政党的覆灭却使她无家可归，异国他乡的纽约无法使她留恋，作为出生地的威尼斯就成为了她最后魂归的“故乡”。

《谪仙记》中所塑造的李彤，“身材十分高挑，五官轮廓都异常飞扬显突，一双炯炯露光的眼睛……她那一头大卷蓬松的乌发……”无论是事故之前或是之后，白先勇先生笔下的李彤是风情万种的，是自带一种“贵族”气质的，前期的李彤生活条件优渥，被父母捧在手心，青春靓丽、热情洋溢；后期虽然堕落，却也是美得张扬。电影选择潘虹作为女主角，她的整体形象与李彤比较符合，但是最主要的问题在于，潘虹在拍摄《最后的贵族》时已经三十多岁，而前期的李彤是一个十来岁的少女，相对而言比较违和。但是潘虹对后期堕落李彤的塑造是深得我心的，一个人默默承受世事变迁的沧桑感与无力感被潘虹很好地呈现。如果我能够向导演推荐李彤的扮演者，陈数着实是一个不错的选择，她所饰演的陈白露至今都称得上经典。

再说回濮存昕饰演的陈寅。小说中陈寅是作为叙述者的身份存在，从他的字里行间，我们能够感受到他是一个温柔、多情的高知分子。濮存昕能够将陈寅身上儒雅、多情的特征表现出来，但是由于整个剧本的局限性，陈寅这个角色并不讨喜，甚至有些做作。在陈寅与黄慧芬的婚礼这一场景中，当李彤突然出现，陈寅的目光便定格在李彤身上，后期深夜搭救李彤这一事件在我看来有些“越过道德的边界”，说“渣”也不为过。

我最喜欢的配角形象是卢燕所饰演的李母。李母作为清末的格格，她优雅的言谈举止是与贵族身份相匹配的。她所展现的是中国封建社会中所中意的女性形象：恬淡、优雅、富有学识，作为中国封建社会真正的“最后的贵族”，诸如李母一类配角的出现为电影增色许多。

《最后的贵族》整部电影最让我认为惊艳的是电影的配乐。姐妹四人在美国大学新年夜所表演的歌曲，是依据白居易《花非花》改编的：

花非花

白居易

花非花，雾非雾，夜半来，天明去。

来如春梦几多时？去似朝云无觅处。

《花非花》整首诗着重突出的是“梦”，花与雾本身都是极易消逝的，歌曲的曲调显然是悲伤的，配合姐妹四人略带伤感的表情，开启了即将到来的悲剧。在纽约的快乐时光本身就像“花”、“雾”的春梦一般短暂，不幸的到来是猝不及防的。通过音乐将悲剧引出从一定程度上避免了情节的单调乏味与生硬转折，音乐所能够带给观众更多共感，从而深入剧情中。

当陈寅将李彤从袭警事件后搭救出来后，二人来到酒吧彻夜长谈，此时的背景音乐是美国歌手Billie Holiday所演唱的Solitude：

In my solitude在我的孤独中You haunt me你萦绕我脑际

With dreadful ease让我沉湎 of days gone by往日的回忆

In my solitude在我的孤独中 You taunt me你萦绕我脑际

With memories因为回忆 that never die永不消逝

I sit in my chair我坐在椅子上 and filled with despair充满绝望

There’s no one could be so sad没有人会如此可悲

With gloom everywhere处处是悲哀

I sit and I stare我坐着，我眼睛发直

I know that I’ll soon go mad我知道我快要疯了

In my solitude在我的孤独中 I’m afraid我害怕

Dear lord above亲爱的上帝 Send back my love把我的爱人送回来

李彤在悠扬的歌声说向陈寅讲述自己多年来东飘西荡的历程，二人都陷入深深的沉思中。作为独立于原著小说的新情节，歌曲Solitude仿佛是在向观众娓娓道来李彤多年孤独的生活。她在失去双亲后的生活虽然看似光鲜亮丽，在深处却是腐朽堕落的，所以她的内心也总被绝望与悲哀填满。

最后是在威尼斯与小提琴手的相遇，当李彤来到自己遥远的出生地时，却丝毫没有任何的“归属感”。我注意到当李彤在聆听琴声时，眼中是湿润的，此时小提琴手悠扬的琴声将她的思绪拉到很远的地方，或许是曾经在纽约的欢声笑语，或者是曾经在上海的无忧无虑。一曲过后，她十分惊讶地发现，这位俄罗斯小提琴手曾在上海居住过三十年，对于他而言，上海是他的第二故乡，“从前我怕彼得堡的冬天，现在我连彼得堡的大雪也想念起来，俄罗斯的雪都是温暖的。”我相信，当李彤听到这句话时，独在异乡为异客的不适感与怀念故乡的思归感相互交织。当她问出，“世界上的水都是相同的吗？”并且将自己的所有钱都给小提琴手的时候，她已经选择了自己想要走的路。正因世界上的水都是相同的，顺着威尼斯的水流，她能够漂流回远方的上海，回到她心心念念的故乡。

在主题方面，由于《台北人》与《纽约客》都是白先勇在美国创作的，华人深刻的不适感与思乡怀旧之情体现得淋漓尽致。白先勇总是写“堕落”的故事，但又有多少角色时自甘堕落？大多不过是在时代变迁与家庭剧变中迷失了自我，寻求麻将、酒精的安慰。《谪仙记》中以陈寅的视角描写李彤，更多的是体现时代变迁背景下诸如李彤这样的“贵族”少女生命的无力沉浮，是一种特定时代下人无法自主选择命运的痛苦与迷茫。作为白崇禧之子，白先勇先生一贯在作品中体现对自我身份的思考，李彤作为一个上海的贵族少女，却因为政党原因与家庭原因不能回归故土，只能客居他乡。我相信白先勇在此处是对自己处境的一种刻画，因为政治原因去往台湾，最后在美国求学，但何处是他的故乡？他到底是谁？大陆人？台湾人还是中国人？虽然整篇小说的基调是悲凉的，白先勇先生在《谪仙记》中也表达了对中国的向往，四姐妹分别是“中英美苏”，李彤正是代表中国，她最具有活力，又身世显赫且富裕，或许这是白先生在写作时对未来的畅想，如今这样的愿景正在实现中。

由于改编电影的局限性，白先勇先生在《谪仙记》中所传达的主题在《最后的贵族》中只是单一地体现为“homesick”或是“nostalgia”。小说中的留白与结尾的意犹未尽是为读者留下更多思考的空间，电影则相对更为直白地向观众陈述一个人的故事。电影中李彤的堕落和“nostalgia”离不开关系，十来岁的少女，不曾想到与父母的分别竟是永别，在成为模特的过程中只有空虚，她的放荡是一种对内心深处不安与恐惧的伪装。我们中国人总是强调“落叶归根”，这正是她在最后问“世界上的水都相通”的原因，不管通过怎样的方式，她都想回到那个让她无忧无虑的上海。出生在威尼斯，成长于上海，生活在纽约，但最终，她还是孑然一身在世界行走着，无处安身。

曾在美国居住过两年的我对李彤的处境能够共感，无论是在生活方式还是语言习俗上，我们总是“格格不入”的异乡人，只有在自己最初的文化圈才有熟悉的安定感。我相信，威尼斯的水一定将她带回了上海，带回了父母的身旁。

以杜甫《望岳》为例谈怎么欣赏古诗

　　我以前谈到什么样的书值得细读时，提到诗歌值得细读；以前谈到今天应该怎样学国学时，也提到国学中精华的精华是中国古典诗歌。但是，很多人觉得古诗看不懂，或者虽然能看懂，但欣赏不了。比如杜甫的《望岳》，这首诗大家都非常熟悉，在中学甚至小学就已经学过了，很多人还会背诵。即使不会背诵，肯定也知道最后那句“会当凌绝顶，一览众山小”。但为什么说这首诗写得好，为什么它一直受到推崇，很多人不理解。我就以这首诗为例讲一讲怎样欣赏古诗。

　　首先，我们拿到一首诗，有可能的话，应该了解它的写作背景：时代背景和诗人写这首诗的生活背景。并不是读所有的诗都需要知道写作背景，很多诗不知道写作背景也能够欣赏，而且有很多诗我们根本就不知道它的写作背景。但如果知道了一首诗的写作背景，就有助于了解它的微言大义，有助于我们欣赏这首诗。尤其是杜诗，了解写作背景特别重要。幸好，研究杜诗的人太多、时间太长，已经研究得相当透彻，所以大部分杜诗的写作背景我们都很清楚。写作背景被研究烂了，对于研究者来说不是一件好事，因为很难发现有新的地方；但对于读者和欣赏者来说，就是一件很好的事情。

　　《望岳》这首诗的写作背景是什么样的呢？这是流传下来的最早的一首杜诗。杜甫写这首诗的时候才24岁。那一年他到洛阳参加科举，考进士落第了，去赵、齐散心。赵国大致相当于现在的山西中部和河北南部，齐国大致相当于现在的山东北部。他一直游玩到泰山，写下了这首《望岳》。这就是它的写作背景。

　　了解了写作背景，接下来要看诗的题目，这也是非常关键的。这首诗叫《望岳》，只有两个字，透露出什么信息呢？“望”是看，“望岳”不是登岳，这首诗写的不是登山，而是看山。“岳”，本来的意思就是大山，后来指比较神圣的山。中国有五座山被认为特别神圣，就叫五岳。这首诗的标题只说了“望岳”，没有说望的是五岳中的哪一座，但诗的开头就点出了是哪一座岳：“岱宗夫如何？齐鲁青未了。”“岱宗”是泰山最早的叫法。“岱”是泰山专有的名称，因为古代中国人把泰山视为中国的第一名山、山的祖宗，所以尊称为“岱宗”。本诗一开始就点明“望岳”的岳是东岳泰山。

　　杜甫总共留下三首望岳的诗，标题都叫《望岳》。除了青年时期写的这首《望岳》，中年和晚年也都写过《望岳》诗，写法也都是第一句开头就点明是哪一座岳。中年写的《望岳》，第一句是“西岳崚嶒竦处尊，诸峰罗立似儿孙”。一开始就说了“西岳”，大家就知道望的岳是西岳华山。晚年写的《望岳》诗，第一句是“南岳配朱鸟，秩礼自百王”，“南岳”指的就是南岳衡山。

　　第一联：“岱宗夫如何？齐鲁青未了。”上句“岱宗夫如何？”意思是：泰山究竟是怎么样的？青年杜甫是第一次去泰山，以前只读到过、听说过，知道这座山特别神圣，但从来没有去过，所以心里就一直在想：大家这么推崇它，称它为“岱宗”，究竟是什么样的？下句“齐鲁青未了”就是指出第一眼见到泰山是什么样的。泰山的北边是齐国，南边是鲁国，是山东的南部，所以到了山东，就看到整个山东境内，都是一片绵绵不绝的青色。这里指的是泰山青翠的颜色占据了齐、鲁的整个视野，直到天际线，满眼都是泰山的青色。这是夸张的说法，泰山之大，望上去绵绵不绝全是它。第一联是远远地望，所以只能看到山的颜色，看不清楚细节。

　　接下来的一联是“造化钟神秀，阴阳割昏晓。”“造化”指的是大自然的创造和化育，那些神奇、秀丽的东西都集中到了泰山。“阴阳割昏晓”写的是泰山的高。高到什么程度呢？被阳光照到的那一面是早晨，背阴的那一面却成了黄昏。也就是说，泰山高到把阳光给分割开了，照到阳光的部分是“晓”，没照到的部分是“昏”。能够看到泰山的“神秀”，能够注意到光线的不同，也就是已经走得比较近了。第一联是远望，第二联就是近看，往泰山走得越来越近了。

　　第三联就走得更近了：“荡胸生曾云，决眦入归鸟。”近得可以看到有云一层一层地从泰山生出来，在山间缭绕，让人觉得心胸激荡。又可以看到有鸟归巢，一直睁大眼睛盯着鸟看，看得眼眶都要裂开了。这是细看。已经走到山脚下了，才能看到有一丝一丝的云飘出来，才能看到有鸟飞回来了。写的是在山脚下细看，也表明从远远的地方一路走来走到山脚下，已经是黄昏，鸟归巢了。

　　最后一联是大家很熟悉的“会当凌绝顶，一览众山小。”“会当”是唐朝时的口语，意思是应当。一定要爬到最高峰，登上绝顶，望下去，就可以看到众山都很小。这还是在描述泰山的高。不过，“凌绝顶”只是表示一种决心，是想象的，并不是真的登上绝顶。这也是“望”，但只是想象中的眺望。

　　那么，究竟有没有登上去呢？杜甫在晚年写过一首诗，一开始就说“昔我游山东，忆戏东岳阳。穷秋立日观，矫首望八荒。”（《又上后园山脚》）“日观”指日观峰，是泰山最顶上的一个山峰，那是帝王封禅的地方。从这首诗来看，杜甫还是登上了日观峰，但有没有写登岳或到山顶后“一览众山小”的诗，我们不知道。一种可能是写了，但是没有流传下来。杜甫晚年编定过自己写的诗，可能觉得年轻时写的诗不好，不要了，只把《望岳》留下来作为他的第一首诗。或者不是杜甫自己把它删掉，而是失传了。另一种可能是他根本就没写过，《望岳》已经把他想要表达的心情写完了，就没有必要再去写一首登岳诗了。

　　《望岳》的背景是杜甫参加科举落第，就像现在去参加高考落榜了，可以说是受到了挫折。但是他没放在心上，因为他那时还很年轻，才24岁。如果把人生比作一座大山，他这时还在山脚下，意气风发、充满朝气，觉得自己还能爬到人生大山的顶峰去“一览众山小”，去实现自己的人生抱负。杜甫当时的人生抱负是政治抱负，“致君尧舜上，再使风俗淳”（《奉赠韦左丞丈二十二韵》）是他的政治理想。这种充满朝气的诗作是杜甫诗中很少见的。到后来，他在长安困顿了十年，之后是安史之乱。历尽战乱、流离��所，遭遇了人生的各种苦难，当年的朝气都已经没了，他也终于登到了人生大山的顶峰，上了绝顶。但那不是登上了年轻时想象的政治的绝顶去俯瞰众生，而是诗歌的绝顶。

　　从秦始皇开始，中国历代帝王如果觉得自己有文治武功、开辟了太平盛世，就喜欢跑到泰山去搞一个封禅大典，在那里树碑立传，以为自己的丰功伟绩可以跟泰山一样永垂不朽。杜甫当时的皇帝是唐玄宗李隆基，那时是所谓的大唐盛世。在杜甫写这首《望岳》诗的11年前，李隆基也跑泰山去搞了一个规模空前的封禅大典，颂扬自己的丰功伟绩。他还亲笔写了一篇铭文讲封禅大典，铭文长达一千字，刻在了泰山上。但后来爆发安史之乱，发生了兵谏，李隆基连自己的老婆杨玉环也救不了，“六军不发无奈何，宛转蛾眉马前死。花钿委地无人收，翠翘金雀玉搔头。君王掩面救不得，回看血泪相和流。”（《长恨歌》）所谓的文治武功变成了笑话。

　　李隆基写的封禅铭文现在还在泰山的摩崖石刻那里，但是登泰山的人有几个真会去仔细地看这篇当年皇帝精心撰写、亲笔书写的铭文？如果我不说，很多人甚至不知道有这篇铭文。然而当年一名科举落第的青年人写的这首《望岳》诗却成为了泰山的绝唱，在所有描写泰山的诗文中，没有比它更出名、更好的了。而且流传了千百年，每个中国人都知道这首诗，都会说“会当凌绝顶，一览众山小”，都会被它激励。只要泰山在，这首诗就真正的永垂不朽。这是诗歌的“封禅”，什么文治武功也比不上一首好诗。

Yu Shi: Enter the court

Yu Shi recalls when he was young and played basketball. When he went on court the coach often said: don't think too much, don't get distracted, there's only offence and defense in your heart. This would later became one of the mantras in his life. "I think humans have to be like this. When you're decided on something, you'll undoubtedly lose once you get distracted."

Happy

Yu Shi speaks a little Kazakh, the kind for simple communication. He's also able to recite paragraphs after paragraphs of Kazakh lines, even though he had already wrapped up filming for 【我的阿勒泰 My Altay】 for more than half a year.

【我的阿勒泰 My Altay】 is Yu Shi's first drama, he plays a Kazakh boy Batay (Ba Tai).

While filming in Xinjiang, he liked spending time with the Kazakh nomads, chatting, sitting around, horse riding, shepherding and eating at people's homes. It wasn't the nomads' actual homes but a temporary homestay during shepherding transition. Mud house, dimly lit, rundown amenities. But Yu Shi didn't see anxiety or worry on the faces of these nomads, they all looked serene.

"I felt that they were all free and simple. They think about one thing every day. It could be to shepherd, it could be to feed the livestock. I suddenly thought of my past self, wanting this and that, worrying about many things. But speaking to them, I felt so free, and very simple. I forgot about all those things."

He had a deep impression of a Kazakh granny. High cheek bones and sunken cheeks, skin coarse, tanned and red having been under the sun all the time, wrinkles deep but her face was benevolent. "Really, I rarely see such benevolent people with such a labored face," he said.

The first time he met granny was after shepherding. Granny invited Yu Shi to her house for tea, looked at him and said "Child, I'm really happy that you have come to us from outside the village. You have been working here recently. You don't have to do anything for us, come by any time. Treat this place as your home, and I will treat you like my child."

Before he left the plains, Yu Shi popped by granny's place again, bringing with him some milk, fruits and pastries. He wanted to chat with the nomads again and brought something as a token of appreciation. He thought, he had been so happy all this time, free and at ease, having forgotten about everything in his reality. But he knew he couldn't live on the plains forever. The day before 【我的阿勒泰 My Altay】 started filming was the premiere of 【长空之王 Born to Fly】, new comer Yu Shi was featured. After filming had wrapped up, 【封神第一部：朝歌风云 Creation of the Gods I: Kingdom of Storms】 had premiered. Actor Yu Shi officially took the stage in the identity of playing Ji Fa.

"Now that the premiere has ended and the roadshows have ended, how would you see everything that's happened in 2023?" This was the first question we threw at Yu Shi.

"I gained a lot. If you asked me a month ago the answer probably wouldn't have been this. Having waited for a really long time, suddenly it was screening, receiving attention, people say it's an accumulation that burst forth, but this has its pros and cons. With more attention, difference voices have increased. I know this is a path that actors or public figures must take and have to accept. But my heart feels a little complicated." Yu Shi paused and said "But it's really peaceful now, it's more of feeling touched and grateful, grateful for the final presentation of 【封神 Creation of the Gods】 , grateful for the recognition from audiences."

The happiest day in 2023 was 4th November. The 【封神 Creation of the Gods】 production team participated in the 36th Golden Rooster Awards ceremony, receiving best story, best cinematography and best actor in a supporting role. "The Golden Rooster awards really was something that didn't let down the hard work and hopes of all the staff of 【封神 Creation of the Gods】," Yu Shi says.

He felt that perhaps this was a period to the sentence, finally considered a conclusion. After the premiere, even as the box office rose and received an influx of great reviews, he was cautious about being too happy. He always feels that people shouldn't be happy too soon, who knows if bad news could be waiting at the end.

"Why are you afraid of feeling happy at the beginning?"

"Many things remind me of that. This could be neo-daosim. Not to believe in it too much before something comes to fruition. Just like how when I used to play basketball, even if my coach tells me that I trained well, let's go sign up for the competition. But before the application gets submitted, I didn't dare to relax even for just a moment," Yu Shi said.

Having become a professional actor, he had experienced many ups and downs. He had been waiting for a long time, once in the morning on the day he thought the movie would be screened in the afternoon, he received a call to cancel his schedule. He felt terrible for two seconds, then laid down to sleep, and slept for another two hours. "I really felt terrible for just two seconds, I felt I was so unlucky. Afterwards I was calm, I know I can't decide on things like that."

And so goes another typical day for him.

Distraction

On abandoning distracting thoughts, Yu Shi knows it all since he was 13.

In 2008, Yu Shi entered the Chinese Basketball Association Fuxin Basketball School. There was a same-aged schoolmate who had joined years before him. That was the future national male basketball team's center Zhou Qi (T/N: Zhou Qi was drafted into NBA Houston Rockets in 2016).

In the five years in the basketball school, there was only half a day off each week, and could only return home once a year. A morning run at 5.30am, a round of 3200 meters, a round of 4 X 800meters sprint or 800 meters and 1200 meters staggered sprints. Before the morning run the beds had to be made. Different heights had different timings to meet, leaving no room for the kids to skive. "It's a run for your life after the warm-ups. If you can't meet the mark you had to run all over again until you meet the mark, you couldn't skive at all," Yu Shi said.

At the beginning, his parents objected to Yu Shi learning basketball. His father enrolled him into summer camp. "He wanted me to admit defeat through this," Yu Shi said. Unexpectedly, Yu Shi got through the summer camp and entered the basketball school.

"They know it's tough to be an athlete, so they wanted to confirm if I could persist. But I persisted and they stopped objecting. Slowly they felt that I had grown up and thus they trusted me more."

On basketball, Yu Shi's physique was not considered outstanding. Currently standing at 1.82 meters, he was not even at 1.7 meters when he entered the school, whereas his teammates were all at 1.9 meters thereabout. "My specs weren't as good as the rest and I wasn't very strong, so I could only train to jump higher, to shoot more accurately. I had to train like my life depended on it to get recognition from my coach, to be able to participate in competitions. This is all cruel."

He was a fast runner since young, jumped high, and was used to additional training in school. Sports required absolute true skills, for it was the only way to receive the opportunity to enter the court. "If points are lost as soon as I get on court, I wouldn't be able to accept it myself. I'd rather not enter the court, I'll go train on my own."

When he went on court the coach often said: don't think too much, don't get distracted, there's only offence and defense in your heart. This would later became one of the mantras in his life. "I think humans have to be like this. When you're decided on something, you'll undoubtedly lose once you get distracted. Hesitation will be your downfall," Yu Shi said it with conviction.

In total he watched 【封神 Creation of the Gods】 twice, once in the company, another time at the Xining for FIRST Youth Film Festival roadshow. The roadshow that lasted for two months across twenty over cities, it was only at Xining that he didn't have to rush to another theatre. Yu Shi watched Ji Fa of four years ago, and would sometimes think, what would it be if he had designed more for certain scenes? But he knows that's so much "ifs", for that Ji Fa was performed by him out of true feelings.

“The feelings at that time were very sincere, I had no distracting thoughts. At that time all I thought every day was how to perform each scene well, how to satisfy the director, how I can do justice to the crew, it was pure." Yu Shi said "I would also dwell on it as I wrapped up every day, if I had not acted well. Acting does leave lots of regrets, but the good thing was I had no distracting thoughts when I'm on set."

Yu Shi's current favorite sport is horseback archery. This was also a mandatory training for him at the "Creation of the Gods Boot Camp". In the "Creation of the Gods Boot Camp", the youths had one day off per week, starting each day at seven and ending at nine at night, with twelve hours of closed door training every day, which content included acting classes, cultural classes and wushu (T/N: Chinese martial arts), horseback riding, archery, music instrument classes and other lessons with "li (etiquette), yue (music), she (shooting), yu (riding), shu (books), shu (calculation)" as foundation.

Yu Shi enjoys horseback riding and archery. While filming in Xinjiang he named his white horse Olympics (Ao Yun), took care of it himself, and together they completed the first scene that the Creation of the Gods crew filmed. On archery, he asked of himself to "be able to go fight with a bow and arrow if I really were to be placed in a battle in ancient times."

In 【封神 Creation of the Gods】, there was a scene where Ji Fa, wearing 40 jin (T/N: approx. 45 pounds or 20 kilograms) worth of armor was riding on the horse's back without holding the reins, grabbing a bow tossed over by a partner from behind and he turned to shoot an arrow. Like how he had been at the basketball school when he was 13 years old, Yu Shi wanted to train himself more. "Train every day, train every day, train every day until it becomes muscle memory." He believes that hard work will pay off, if it doesn't pay off then he would continue to work hard. "Success or failure could depend on just a single moment, where everyone is exhausted and can no longer go on but you were able to grit your teeth and make it through, then you would have won."

When the film was done, Director Wuershan said the final scene that was presented would have been difficult to complete even for a horseback riding coach. After 【封神 Creation of the Gods】 wrapped up filming, Yu Shi continued to delve into two years' worth of horse back riding, archery, and participated in the Guangdong Equestrian Festival's national competition. "I will do my very best for something that I really like," he said.

Archery is a test of thinking, physical abilities and mentality. Why did I miss the bullseye? Was it the position of the hand or was it the stability of the hand that caused the issue? Yu Shi liked to ponder about things like that. More importantly, archery is a sport that requires distractions to be dispelled and both decisiveness and relaxation.

"Archery needs to be calm. Mentality needs to be stable. Once there's distractions, for example thinking that ah I didn't hit the target, I'll definitely not be able to hit the target then." Yu Shi said "every time the bowstring is released it must be an unintentional action, as if it is an unconscious "bam" moment and it's out. For many, their best shot is when their hands are not locked in position and the string suddenly released, like an accidental discharge. The arrow shot is the most precise and the best. Only when it is released unintentionally will the arrow move most perfectly in the air, the least influence from the stability of the person."

"Every time I play archery is like pitting me against myself, likewise for horseback riding, it's all me against myself and how to calibrate myself," Yu Shi said.

"Do it and it's done!"

Yu Shi is very animated, the entire room is full of laughter during the interview. The staff beside him says since debut, Yu Shi's every interview had been spontaneous, no staff had guided or spoken on his behalf.

He said he often surfs the internet and would read comments of himself by netizens, both good and bad ones. "Sigh I scroll through platform A and it's all praises. After a while I must take a look at platform B. I'm afraid I would become full of myself, so I look at platform B, ah so many are criticizing me, alright, I've found my middle ground." He spoke with such gusto, and deeply knows he has to keep a distance from the reviews of others outside of the circle. "If I rely my emotions on the reviews by others, then I would definitely be very conscious of myself and judge myself. What is it about me that attracted them? It's great if it's because of my acting, but what if it's because of my looks? Wouldn't I then really hope to present my best looking side while I'm acting? Then I wouldn't be able to act. this is what distraction is."

"He has no burdens, none at all," a staff from his team Zhang Fang (not their real name) had managed celebrities for many years, and felt themself changed by Yu Shi. "In the past it was always us trying to convince the celebrity, but now it is often Xiao Yu (Yu Shi) who convinces us, don't be afraid this is really fun, let's try this. Now our team becomes the worried ones, would it be too overwhelming to do this challenge?"

Driving an excavator and shooting ballons, shooting four balloons at one go on the excavator, this was the "first in the whole internet" challenge that Yu Shi had thought of when he celebrated 【封神 Creation of the Gods】 breaking the $2.6billion box office.

"He doesn't see challenges as missions, but he whole heartedly wanted to show his gratitude to every one, to thank all fans and friends. He wanted to do something different to make every one happy."

Yu Shi only has one requirement for the members in his team: I work like my life depends on it, you'll have to work like your lives depend on it. Such a spirit is similar to his idol Kobe (Bryant) and his team mates. And truly, ever since Yu Shi was young, in times of difficulties and exhaustion, he would always think of Kobe's unrelenting personality, he says he has always been influenced by the Mamba mentality (T/N: read Kobe Bryant's "The Mamba mentality: How I Play")

He doesn't like to criticize, he feels it does nothing for him only to bring troubles to his friends. If there's any unhappiness, he drinks some alcohol and gets over it in a blur. "That's life, things never stop moving. Do not be too quick to be happy, do not spend too long being sad."

In facing life, just like how his basketball coach used to tell him "I'm sending you onto the court, just do it and it'll be done!"

In the interview, when Yu Shi sincerely and passionately said "That's how people should be, just do it and it'll be done!" several times, those who hear it can't help but feel invigorated a little, realizing that life indeed is as such "just do it and it'll be done!"

Yu Shi's buddies say working with Yu Shi is easy to gain a sense of satisfaction. He makes sure every single detail of his work is done well. Somehow, he seems never tired, at least he doesn't say it.

"He really has a great attraction, an energy that's enthusiastic and seeking betterment, full of passion as if he had received an energy boost, instructing everyone to charge forth together!" Xiao Yu (Yu Shi) is already 27 years old, and has experienced many things, but would always tell you not to think that there would be no outcome on some of the things that you do, but instead, go do them first. It really rubs off on people.

After he left Altay, Yu Shi posted a vlog, recording himself horseback riding, shepherding, eating at the nomads' home, it's ending frame frozen at a liner "I love this world".

人生的18个不可管理（2）

　12.生活中的转折、奇遇

　　玩过麻将牌的人知道，你将拥有一手什么牌，完全由不得自己，该来的牌它会来，不该来的牌绝对不来，你揭的一张张牌就是一次次地转折和奇遇，这些转折和奇遇就构成了你的输赢。有人会说：输赢是一种概率，或是一种技术技巧。说这种话，证明你没有认真地玩过，你若倾家荡产地去玩玩，就会发现概率论和技术技巧起的作用微乎其微，有时候，你连续和牌，有时候一晚上都和不了几把牌。实际上，你的输赢根据当时与你打牌人的“场”、方位、时间、你自我的精神、生理、心理状态等早已注定，只不过你不知道而已。

　　每个人一生中都有几次转折，上学、参加工作、结婚、调动、搬迁、升迁、失业、下岗、出国、转业等等，还有一些特别的转折，如战争突然爆发，有军事才干的人的生活有了转折；天生一副好歌喉，被伯乐发现，从此走上歌唱道路，生活有了转折；踌躇满志，精力充沛的人遇一次车祸，或一场疾病，生活的道路也就转折了。志在仕途的人清楚，“一朝天子一朝臣”，上司的喜怒哀乐、跌宕升降会使自己的生活发生转折，中国的文化大革命使多少人的生活发生了转折，改革开放，搞活经济又使多少人的人生之路发生了转折。转折是必然的，是不以任何个人的意志而发生的，自己无法左右。

　　我们再来看奇遇。（转录）

　　1.1978年3月，乌克兰顿涅茨克附近一矿场的吊机女操作员，37岁的洛布耶娃，不幸触及380伏的高压电死亡，在停尸房放了两天后，她竟然恢复知觉，疗养了6个月后，一天她走向公共汽车站，忽然发现自己能透视一名女子的体内，“就像电视屏幕上的影像一样”。她能看见太阳射来的紫外光，也能看到柏油路下的洞。医生承认她是无人能及的诊断专家，能诊断人易忽视的病症，从未诊断错过。

　　2.陕西省长安县太平峪乡太平村村民李炳的男孩李存田，从小不会说话，虽四处寻医求药，仍未见疗效。1986年15岁时，哑孩随母亲去舅舅家，在井边玩耍时，不慎落入井中，孩子突然喊爹叫娘，大呼救命，人们救出他后，从此开始说话。

　　3.英国的亿万富翁查理.菲勒布斯，1917年3月1日出生于英国圣利亚城堡一个农民家里，由于经济拮据等原因，他出生没几天就被父母遗弃在一个农场的大路旁，正当其奄奄一息的时候，不知从哪里来的一群白鸽在两只绿鸽的带领下，从天而降，围着他咕咕咕地叫个不停，紧接着，绿鸽的主人——一个叫弗兰茨·约瑟福的农场主闻声赶来，收留了他。后来在他生意遇到困难之时，又是鸽子帮了他的大忙。为了报答鸽子的“知遇”之恩，他不仅成立了鸽子协会，用绿鸽作为自己公司的标志，还建议联合国把鸽子作为全人类幸福和平的象征，他本人被誉为“世界鸽子之父”。

　　4.建立罗马城的罗慕洛从一出生就受到篡位的叔祖父的迫害，被抛入台伯河，但他大难不死，被水流冲到岸边，一只母狼听到孩子的叫声，就来到河边，用狼奶喂活了他，后来一位牧人发现了他，把他带回家养育成人。

　　5.1971年2月12日清晨，53岁的爱迪．罗宾森驾车驶到一座桥上时发生车祸，脑袋被撞，后来他的视觉听觉渐失，从此生活在黑暗与寂静之中。1980年6月4日下午，他在屋后的一棵白杨树被闪电击中，并将电力传散到正在树旁找鸡的他身上，把他击倒在地，20分钟恢复知觉后他的视觉听觉也恢复了，晴天霹雳帮他恢复了原状。

　　转折和奇遇从现象上看，纯属偶然，但均有隐兆。精通麻衣相术的人知道，人的福相、贵相、寿相、夭相完全可以从面相上看出来。任过两年以上班主任老师地教师知道，自己的四十多个学生，谁将来能考上大学，谁能考上中专，谁将进入待业状态，谁一生将会波折丛生，基本上能下个结论，都有个定论，智言讲“三岁看老”，就是这个意思。这就是说，转折和奇遇只能发生在该发生的人身上，没有一副好嗓子的人永远也不会有成为歌星的转折；总统们再有多大的权利和支配能力，也不会有成为大科学家的转折；五十岁的牧羊人再转折也不会有成为宇航员的转折。

　　13.桃花运

　　发生在婚外，让人终生互相朝思暮想的男女纯真恋情。

　　每个人都是一把特殊的锁，同时又是一把特殊的钥匙，每个人的情恋世界是一个封锁的宝库，只有相配的钥匙才能打开。桃花运就是这把特殊的钥匙和锁相遇到了一起，打开了两人冰封的情恋世界。桃花运是在不知不觉中突然降临的，盼望和追求无济于事，当它到来时，情难自抑，心跳加速，不由自主，整个世界和人生突然变得异常美好，在不知对方的历史、人品、婚否、社会地位、经济状况的情况下，你愿与他（她）生死相依，合成一体。

　　夫妻情分、单相思、逛妓院等不是桃花运，桃花运是两块云层相互碰撞产生的霹雳闪电，万廷雷钧。它不是1+1=2，而是1+1=1，是火山爆发，原子核裂变。

　　这种情恋世界的翻江倒海由不得自己，它不是偶然巧遇，而是到一定年龄和经历后，生理场发出的一种自我感觉不到的信息波招来的，是必然的。

　　14.吃喝拉撒睡

　　饿了必然要吃，吃了必然要拉，渴了必然要喝，喝了必然要撒，困了必然要睡，这是生理的必然规律，违背了这个必然规律，其结果必然是亡。在规律面前人无能为力，只能顺其自然，沿必然而行。

　　15.享福、吃苦、受罪

　　享什么样的福，吃什么样的苦，受什么样的罪，是定数，是必然。要把这个问题讲透，需要很大的篇幅，我只提供以下资料，请你想、悟、分析。

　　1.拥有同一个父母，在同一个家庭长大，在同样的社会环境下生活，几十年后兄弟姐妹们各自的生活道路差异很大，有的一生家庭美满、经济富裕、生活幸福如意，有的坎坷不顺、家庭不幸、困难重重，什么原因导致？为什么？根源在哪？

　　2.有的一生下来，就处在贫困的境地，生在偏僻的山沟，连一件像样的衣服都穿不上，学都上不起；而有的一生下来，就处在丰衣足食，仆人精心照料的环境中，上的是贵族学校，为什么？根源在哪里？

　　3.看过小说《水浒传》的人想想，高俅为什么能发迹？林冲为什么要上梁山？根源在哪里？

　　4.有的人，一天的经济收入能超过几十个农民365天辛苦劳作的总和，有的人小小年纪就在国家的要害部门工作，有的奋斗一生也当不了一个科长，为什么？根源在哪里？

　　5.访问几个监狱中的囚犯，问问他们为什么要犯罪，为什么要坐牢，然后总结一下，看原因在哪？

　　6.假如你是一个老板，问问你的雇员“我一天的收入是你的几十倍，你为什么不向我学习，还傻兮兮地给我打工？”假如你是个打工的，问问你的老板“我整天流血流汗，你却出入于高级宾馆，为什么就不能换换身份？”

　　7.再问自己：“我为什么会这样？他为什么会那样？我大学毕业，妻子还对我不满，他只是个小学毕业的普通人，其妻却对他百依百顺？我和他的文化水平都一样，起点也一样，同在一个单位工作多年，为什么他的孩子能到国外上名牌大学，而我的孩子就不能？”

　　这样的问题成千上万，你只要能解释以上七条，就能知道，一个人一生中的享福、吃苦、受罪是人力不可为的，是必然的。

　　16.走什么样的路，成什么样的人

　　记得1972年读初中时，语文老师出了一道作文题：“我的理想。”我们全班48个同学的理想五花八门，主要有以下这些：

　　1．“我要紧握钢枪，守卫在祖国的边疆。” 　　2．“我要当海员，驾驶着战舰，保卫祖国的海防。” 　　3．“我要当飞行员，驾驶着雄鹰，飞翔在祖国的万里蓝天。” 　　4．“我要成为驾驶员，驾驶着卡车，奔跑在社会主义大道上。” 　　5．“我要当白衣天使，去温暖病人的心房。” 　　6．“我要当教师，用辛勤的汗水去浇灌社会主义祖国的花朵。” 　　7．“我要当煤矿工人，挖出更多更好的煤炭，让社会主义的钢炉24小时运转。” 　　8．“我要当建筑工人，为社会主义祖国建造更多的高楼大厦。” 　　9．“我要当医生，用我的医术解除贫下中农的疾苦。” 　　10.“我要做一个新型农民，驾驶着铁牛，奔驰在祖国的田野上。”

　　三十年后，掐指来算，除了一位实现了愿望，当了教师外，其余同学的理想均未实现。这个事实说明，一个人走什么样的路，会成为什么样的人，由不得自己做主。每个人就像一块铁料，会成什么样的器具，由不得铁料自己，而是根据铁匠的需要，煅打成型。

　　也许有人会提出异议：初中生不了解社会，不了解社会发展的趋势，他们的理想太单纯，不能以此来说明走什么路，成什么人由不得自己的理论正确。

　　好吧，那你选择50个不同年龄阶段和不同文化层次的人，让他们谈谈今后十年会走什么样的路，成什么样的人，十年后再验证一下，看看结果如何。

　　17.顺境、逆境

　　很少有人希望自己的一生艰难曲折、坎坷不顺、债务缠身、波折陡起，每个人都在尽最大努力奋斗，企望自己的一生平安顺利、风平浪静、心想事成、逢凶化吉。那么为什么还发生皇帝上吊、总统坐牢、富翁自杀、学者乞讨的悲剧呢？中国历史上有一人犯罪，株连九族，满门抄斩的情况，二次世界大战时，百万犹太人流离失所，忽遭横祸，其逆境是如何造成的？

　　再总结一下自己父辈、同辈、朋友、同事等人的状况，有人处于顺境，有人处于逆境，导致其处于顺逆的原因是什么，是长相？年龄？知识结构？信仰？性别？种族？家庭环境？社会环境？聪明程度？愚蠢邪恶？是努力不够？还是什么其他原因。　　我的回答是：必然的，是不以个人的意愿而转移的。

　　顺逆有点像四季交替，随时空的变化而起伏升降，是不由人的，除非你已参破了其中的奥秘，像候鸟大雁一样，随时序变化而改变活动空间位置，又像佛教高僧，道教大师，做到四大皆空，超凡脱俗，不随世俗物欲及生理欲望去行事，就能控制一部分。

　　18.死后去向

　　首先摘录《读者》杂志１９９０年第２期４２页“死亡之谜新议”中的一段如下：

　　日本一家跨国公司想证实人死后是否还有脑电波存在。科学家把电极植入受试者的头骨中，与电脑接通，使电脑可以在８０公里范围内接受脑电波。在受试的１０名死者中，发现２名有脑电波，有个叫佛迪的人，死后三天，电脑荧光屏显示：“我是佛迪，告诉你，我很快乐，没有痛苦。”而“没有痛苦”这几个字出现了２０多次后，脑电波才消失。另有一个白血病患者，死后第３天，电脑荧光屏上显示：“这里是个美丽的地方，我很高兴来到这里，我感到愉快。”这个实验说明，人死后是有脑电波存在的。

　　这篇报道是否属实，请大家自己去证实。我只是告诉你，人死后仍有来世。

　　很多人不相信人有来世的，他们被物质世界的表面现象所迷惑，被自己的常规思维所束缚，被肉眼、肉耳、肉身所限制，被有限的科学知识所桎梏，把一切自己所不能理解的东西统统斥为迷信，邪术，不承认有负宇宙，有36维空间，把凡是自己看不见、听不到、感觉不到、科学未经证实、专家未经肯定的东西都视为虚无缥缈、不存在、不可信。这不能怪他们，应该来说是正常的，因为截止目前人类社会浩如烟海的智慧宝库中，还没有一本书或一种哲学或一种思想详细阐明宇宙的奥妙，尽管各大宗教的经典中论及来世的篇章不少，但无法令人信服，只能半信半疑，而现代科学技术也未全面证实人有来世，有些拥有特异功能的人，尽管能有超现实的能力，但要么不知其奥秘，要么没有能力描述，给人一种扑朔迷离，真假难辨之感。

　　那么《生命禅院》能否讲解清楚，令人��服呢？也很困难，原因不在于能否解释清楚，而在于我们的修炼层次。比如，我说太阳光是五颜六色，五彩��纷的，大自然中有什么颜色，太阳光就有什么颜色，你就无法相信。当我们谈到复平面，虚函数时，中小学校的学生就无法理解，因为无法用生活实际中的事例讲解。你要告诉一个苹果加一个苹果等于两个苹果好理解，但你要告诉1+（-1）=宇宙，就会莫名其妙，不知所云。所有的中学生都知道化学元素周期表，当门捷列夫首次把元素排列出来时，不要说常人，就是化学家们都无法相信，原因是好多元素尚未发现，尚未证实，你门捷列夫怎么知道它们的存在呢？你怎么知道地球上就只有这么些元素呢？那么是不是由于人类还未发现就认为门捷列夫是异想天开，胡乱拼凑呢？不能，不管你相信也好，不相信也罢，化学元素周期表是一种秩序、必然，就像每个人的体细胞有23对染色体，多了，少了就不是人了。宇宙中的一切都有固定的程序和运行的秩序。那么为什么排列出化学元素周期表的人是门捷列夫，而不是其他什么人呢？

　　佛教讲，人有肉眼、天眼、慧眼、法眼、佛眼，肉眼我们好理解，因为我们的眼都是肉眼，那么慧眼呢？我们也好理解，比如“伯乐相马”，伯乐在识马方面有慧眼，他知道什么样的马是千里马，什么样的马是百里马，什么样的马是劣马，有些政治领袖能慧眼识英才，比如李世民识魏征；那么天眼呢？我们也可以理解，比如哈勃天文望远镜，电子显微镜，激光镜等就是天眼，能看到常人看不到的遥远世界，看清常人看不到的微观世界，看到墙壁、皮肤后面的东西，这样的眼就是天眼；

　　那么法眼呢？相对不好理解，因为只有知道宇宙秩序、物质结构、任何一个事物或人的过去未来的人才拥有法眼，我们上面讲的门捷列夫，他在化学元素这一领域已具备了法眼，牛顿在力学这一领域拥有一定的法眼，释迦牟尼在物质结构领域有法眼，几千年前在《华严经》中讲述到：“一一微尘中，各现无边刹海；刹海之中，复有微尘；彼诸微尘内，复有刹海；如是重重，不可穷尽。”比如地球宇宙是大宇宙中的一粒微尘，银河系是旋河系中的一粒微尘，太阳系是银河系中的一粒微尘，地球是太阳系中的一粒微尘，任何一个单个物体是地球上的一粒微尘，分子又是物体的一粒微尘，原子又是分子的一粒微尘，电子又是构成原子的一粒微尘，依次为质子、中子、光子、介子、超子、变子、反粒子等，“如是重重，不可穷尽，”几千年前的释迦牟尼怎么能够看得如此精微呢？因为他有法眼；

　　那么佛眼呢？这是最难理解的一个层次，这已经牵扯到反物质、负宇宙、36维空间、时空观、有无观，虚实观等。爱因斯坦曾经说：“对我们这些有信念的物理学家来说，过去、现在和未来三者之间的界限只不过是一种幻觉，尽管它是一种顽固地存在着的幻觉。”这就表明，爱因斯坦已在佛眼的边界上绕过，爱因斯坦之所以伟大，原因在此。对拥有佛眼的人来说，时间是不存在的，所谓“看破红尘”，只是对有佛眼的人而言，普通人根本看不破，也无法看破。

　　释迦牟尼在菩提树下“顿悟”成佛，那么什么是“顿悟”，什么是佛呢？

　　中国南传佛教讲“顿悟”，实际上是对“顿悟”的一种误解，是把人引向歧路。真正的“顿悟”指的是在量变达到极限点突然发生了质的变化的那个临界转化点。比如，一壶冷水，在火上加热，逐渐由冷变温，当其温度达到100度时（我们先忽略海拔高度）就变成了沸水，没有前期的加热过程，冷水根本不可能一下“顿悟”成沸水。任何人不经过修行修炼，别梦想“顿悟”成佛。自然规律不会以人的意志而转移，释迦牟尼“顿悟”成佛，是因为他长久地修行修炼，量变已经达到了极点，必然成佛。有个笑话讲一个人，吃了九个馒头才吃饱，当他吃下第九个馒头感到饱的时候，他一下后悔了：“早知道这第九个馒头能吃饱，前面的八个馒头根本不用吃，白白浪费了八个馒头，我真笨。”笨吗？确实笨，不是一般的笨，已经是笨的平方了。

　　什么是佛呢？简单讲，就是已经拥有了佛眼的人，已与宇宙的思维相通的人，与“道”合而为一的人，已明白了真主-佛祖上帝用意的人，已超越了时空，拥抱了永恒的人。

　　我讲了上面一大堆，其目的只有一个，就是要告诉大家，人有前世、来世，生命是生生息息不断演化转换的，比如人，所谓“死亡”，只是指肉体死亡，结束运载使命，回归尘土，而生命的灵体将去向另一空间，就像人坐船从此岸到彼岸，到达彼岸后，就弃船上岸，船的任务完成了。肉体就是运载生命灵体从此岸到彼岸的“船”。

　　言归正传，死后的去向人人不知，是必然的。那么人“死”后到底去向何处？依据每个人灵体的质，死后各自去向以下十个世界：千年界（《圣经》描述的复活后的世界和伊斯兰教祈望的天堂）、万年界、极乐界、阳极黑洞体（返回人间）、家畜界、动物界、植物界、阴间、冰冻层、火炼层，再没有其他去处。
