Chapter 117 Fatalism(2/2)
Cheng Yanqiu raised his head and glanced at Yu Dong, then looked at his watch, shook his head and said, "You came just in time, it was me who came early."
"Well, let's go in and find a study room to sit down and chat."
Cheng Yanqiu stood up, looked inside the teaching building, and said, "There are people in the study room now. Let's walk around and talk while walking."
Yu Dong nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Cheng Yanqiu said they wanted to go for a walk together, but they didn't know where to go, so the two of them walked randomly around the first teaching building.
After walking for a while, Cheng Yanqiu said, "Yu Dong, do you believe that life is unchangeable and that it is a script that has already been written?"
This question made Yu Dong feel a little confused. Didn't she say that she wanted to ask herself questions related to the course?
But despite his doubts, Yu Dong still answered her: "I don't believe it."
Hearing Yu Dong's answer, Cheng Yanqiu looked at him in surprise, "I thought you would say you believe it."
"Why?" Yu Dong asked.
"I have read a science fiction novel you wrote, and it seems that the theme expressed is that fate cannot be changed."
Cheng Yanqiu should be talking about "Closed Loop", which surprised Yu Dong. She actually reads science fiction novels.
Seeing Cheng Yanqiu waiting for his answer, Yu Dong said with a smile, "Writing science fiction novels is just a possibility. It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. And even if the trajectory of life cannot be changed, even if the script has already been
Even if you write it well, I won’t believe it.”
"Perhaps your disbelief is also written into the script? All your ideas are planned for you in the script."
Yu Dong shrugged his shoulders, "So what? Isn't it time to live longer?"
"If this is really the case, don't you feel sad or want to change?"
Yu Dong smiled and said: "Isn't this a paradox? Since my thoughts have been written in the script, isn't everything I do planned? If I really actively believe in fatalism, then it will definitely happen.
Falling into skepticism, because no matter what changes I made, I could say they were planned because none of us had read our script."
Cheng Yanqiu was stunned for a moment, thinking about Yu Dong's words.
Yu Dong spoke again, "Teacher Cheng, when you read a book, the story has already been written and will not change because of your reading. Will you lose interest in the book because of this?"
"No." Cheng Yanqiu shook his head, "If the story is good, I will read it more times."
Yu Dong smiled and said, "You can still remain interested in a story constructed by others, and you can even read it several times. Then why do you lose interest in a story that you only have once in your life?"
At this point, Yu Dong felt that he had said a bit too much. In fact, he just felt that the state shown by Cheng Yanqiu was too sad, and one should not be so sad in life.
Even if fatalism is true, it is already very interesting for a person to act out his own script seriously in his lifetime.
This kind of mourning in Cheng Yanqiu can be seen in many people in later generations, and it is somewhat related to fatalism.
After a while, Cheng Yanqiu said, "I'm sorry, I was looking for you to ask about the course, but I got sidetracked."
As she spoke, she opened "Harvest" in her hand and found "Death of a Widow", "You taught it in class before..."
Later, Cheng Yanqiu never mentioned fatalism again, and instead seriously asked questions related to drama.
She was well prepared and even made a small notebook to list her questions.
Yu Dong also answered her questions one by one seriously.
It was more than an hour after Cheng Yanqiu finished asking the questions in the notebook. Seeing that it was getting late, the two of them went back separately.
