Chapter 5 "Yueweitang Notes"
After Li Yufan left, the room became quiet again. Lin Junxuan leaned outside the window and continued to look at "Yuweitang Notes". "Yuweitang Notes" tells a story about temporarily entering the cycle of reincarnation, which tells the story of a gentleman Sun Eshan lying on a boat in Gaoyou. Suddenly, he seemed to be walking to the shore and mountain again, feeling very cool and comfortable. After a while, someone led him forward, and not long after, he came to a family in a daze. When he walked into the room, he saw a young woman giving birth. He wanted to retreat, but someone slapped him from behind. When he woke up, he found that his body had shrunk and turned into a baby. When he wanted to speak, a cold air came in from the fontanelle and couldn't say it.
On the third day, the maid held him and took a bath and accidentally dropped him on the ground. He lost consciousness again. When he woke up, he found that he was still lying on the boat. Others told him that he had been angry for three days, but his limbs were soft and there was still warm between his chest and abdomen, so he was not buried. Mr. Sun Eshan hurriedly asked for a piece of paper, wrote down his experience, and sent someone to the family where he had been reincarnated along the route he had taken, and told the owner not to beat the maid. Then, he slowly explained the story of the matter to his family. His illness was cured that day, so he went to the family where he had been reincarnated, and treated the maid and others as if they were old. The owner of the family lost his son in his old age, and sighed with Mr. Sun Eshan, and was strange.
Ji Xiaolan also wrote about some similar things in the Qing Dynasty in the book, and they were also remembered to go to and the portal of birth. At the end of the article, Ji Xiaolan wrote in his notes: Like Mr. Eshan, he temporarily entered the cycle of reincarnation and then returned to the original body. Such a bubble of reincarnation cannot be guessed by common sense.
After reading this chapter, Lin Junxuan fell into deep thought. Modern science has long proved that almost all ghost legends are superstitious, but science cannot explain many things. Why can an old woman stop a car in a hurry and save her grandson under the wheel? According to science, this is completely unfair. The most fundamental point is that science can not explain what the existence of the soul or life consciousness is!
The legend of reincarnation is found all over the world, but no one knows whether reincarnation exists. The biggest rebuttal to reincarnation is: If reincarnation exists, then from ancient times to the present, the population in this world should remain unchanged, rather than increasing. The world's six billion people are no longer known how many times the population of ancient people. If reincarnation exists, where did these extra people come from.
Accompanying the cycle of reincarnation are various legends of gods and ghosts. Europe has Eastern European mythology, Greek mythology, and several ancient mythology systems of the Natural God Cult, and later there is a Western Christian system. Africa has legends of witches, India has Polomon mythology, while China has the most mythology.
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas", "The Romance of the Gods", "Journey to the West", and "Journey to the East" have more scattered legends, but the ancient saying "The wind does not come from the ground". Myths and legends may not be true, but they cannot create something out of thin air. Although human imagination is mysterious, it is impossible to imagine so many myths on the basis of nothing. Behind these myths, the material that has such mysterious imagination is derived, what is it? Or - these myths are actually true.
Lin Junxuan shook his head and fell into deep thought.
Many people who support scientific explanation of the world's material things and no ghosts and gods have the firmest point of view that the system derived from science perfectly explains many things in the world. But Lin Junxuan did not agree with this. A long time ago, a legend that was widely recognized around the world was that the sky was round and the place.
The word "The sky is round and the place" perfectly explains the scene people see: the sky covers the earth like a pot lid. This theory was believed by humans at that time and lasted for thousands of years. In Lin Junxuan's view, people at that time were the same as people today, and insisted on this.
However, thousands of years have passed, and Columbus has sailed to prove that the earth is a large sphere.
The same thing as the change of the view of "the sky is round and the place" happens within the scientific system. The three laws of Newton's movement explain many problems and are regarded as the ultimate classic. However, Einstein overturned the three laws of Newton's movement. He believed that the three laws of Newton's movement have scope of application and are applicable on the earth, but in space, the three laws of motion have limitations and are not applicable.
People’s worldview always changes with discovery. Today’s people discover that the world is scientific, but will one day we discover that there are actually gods and demons in this world?
There are many explanations for a person's irritability: he may not have eaten, or his work is not smooth, or his internal organs are caused by... It may be a single factor, or it may be several factors acting at the same time. Is there any explanation that is incorrect?
Will this world be the same as myths and science, and exist at the same time, or is there any secret hidden behind these myths and legends?
Lin Junxuan didn't know. He only knew that if this world was really as explained by the scientific view, everything was material, and death was like a lamp that went out, then this world would have no meaning. Whether it was a human, an animal, a plant, or a planet, it would be like an ant, humble and meaningless! Humans invented coins and invented sensuality, dogs and horses, just an anesthetic like drugs, which made them not think about life and death for the time being, but whether you think about it or not, you have to face this problem in the end.
The world is material, and people die like a lamp extinguishing. So what is the meaning of this world? Whether it is stars, politicians, poor people, or rich people, it is all a dream and has no meaning!
‘Life’ and ‘death’ are always the ultimate problem of all intelligent life. Most people just give a brief taste of this problem. Too much thinking about students and death will make a person negative and decadent. Lin Hai didn’t know that his son thought deeply about such issues because of the environment of growth. And it is precisely because of this reason that Lin Junxuan was not interested in his father’s career at all. Since life is just a game, what is the meaning of such things invented by humans for their own dedication?
The light shot out of the window seemed to become darker. Lin Junxuan suddenly woke himself up to think too deeply on this issue and immediately stopped thinking. He had already known that he was too paranoid on this issue and had some signs of being possessed. It was really meaningless to think too deeply on a question that never had an answer.
Putting down the "Yuweitang Notes", Lin Junxuan moved his limbs and looked at the alarm clock on the windowsill. It was already half past eleven, and it was almost time to have a meal.
Lin Junxuan went into the kitchen to fry an egg, added some green onion leaves, and took out a few fresh green leaves from the refrigerator left by a guest, covering it on the eggs. This was a dish. Taking out two slices of bread from the refrigerator, Lin Junxuan stood in the kitchen and ate it - it was so simple without a table.
Lin Junxuan’s requirements for eating are very low. Just keep the minimum daily consumption. For Lin Junxuan, reading the Book of Sages and maintaining a simple diet can make people calm and maintain a happy state. People who are addicted to the desire to eat are prone to restlessness. When people have hope, they will naturally find it difficult to calm down.
"Beep!" When Lin Junxuan was having dinner, the phone in the study rang again.
"Jun Xuan? Are you free at night? There is a German couple who need translation. The time is three hours, and the salary is 2,000 yuan per hour. If you think it's good, make a call at night." This is a phone message.
Lin Junxuan is a part-time translator. Although he doesn't like to make money, he still has to spend money even if he eats bread. Lin Junxuan joined a translation agency and worked once a week, and did part-time German translation. In this world, many people who learn foreign languages choose English. After all, English is the most widely used language in the world. Many people who do translators have cultivated English to level 8 or 9. Lin Junxuan chose German. Rare things are precious. Lin Junxuan saw it very early that when many people choose English, people who learn English no longer have any advantages. On the contrary, people who choose unpopular languages should be more popular.
The lunch was finished quickly, with one scrambled egg, two fresh green leaves, and two slices of bread just finished. Lin Junxuan's "dishes" and "eat amount" were just right, not too much, so he could eat six points. After washing the plate, he put it in the cupboard. Lin Junxuan walked around the living room for a while, moved his body a little, and then returned to the bedroom and took a nap for a while.
12:10 Nap - Lin Junxuan lying down was exactly the same as the schedule. Without looking at the watch, his body had already recorded this habit. Lin Junxuan, who was under 18 years old, maintained a strict routine that his peers could not reach.
Half an hour later, Lin Junxuan got up, pulled out a CCB card from the study drawer, and walked out. The CCB card was issued by DeRo Translation Company, and Lin Junxuan's part-time translation costs reached this card. Although Lin Junxuan only works once a week, the salary of such part-time translation is very generous. Lin Junxuan works four times a month, and each time he works from one to three hours. On average, his monthly income is more than 20,000 yuan. Although Lin Junxuan's workload is very small and he only works seriously for eight hours a month, his salary has envied many working classes. Lin Junxuan's daily living expenses are very low and there is no cost. In this way, he has accumulated a lot of savings in this card, but he is too lazy to go and see it, that is, he will use the card to swipe it every time he buys things.
The part-time translation of Dro Translation Firm is divided into five levels: A, B, C, D, and E according to its strength. The lowest is A and the highest is E. Lin Junxuan is at the F-level of Dro Translation Firm. This level of translation is specially established by Dro Translation Firm. The branch of Dro Translation Firm is spread across the country, with tens of thousands of full-time and part-time employees, but there are no more than five F-level translations.
Translation of this line is not just about smooth sentences and meaningful words. Meeting this standard is just A-level translation. The difference in translation is like a difference between a conductor. A qualified conductor can conduct an orchestra to perform a symphony smoothly. Of course, some noises are inevitable in this symphony. Ordinary audiences cannot distinguish them and only think that the music is very good, but for an artist, such noises are as harsh as the sound. An artistic conductor can not only conduct the orchestra to sing music smoothly without a trace of noise, but can even improvise the music to mobilize the audience's emotions and play a symphony that is more shocking than the original work.
The same is true for translation. Good translations, the sentences translated are like excellent writers, full of artistic beauty. In addition to these, there are some social etiquettes, and many translators will be invited to work at banquets. Etiquette is very important at this time. In addition, in addition to regular translation work, sometimes some people will propose to accompany them for a walk, travel, etc. after work, and a funny translation will inevitably make the other party feel relaxed and happy and feel that the trip is worth it. Moreover, many foreigners will want to visit some Chinese tourist attractions when they come to China. At this time, it will test a translator's cultivation of his own country's ancient culture.
Dro Translation Firm is China's largest translation agency. In addition to involving the capabilities of translators, the hierarchical system also determines the quantity and quality of translations they complete. Internally, Dro Translation F also defines customers, and heavyweight customers will only allow F-level translations to bear.
Lin Junxuan's ability is not limited to German. He also learns several languages, which makes Dro's translation firm value it. Many times the company's senior management expressed their intention to convert Lin Junxuan to a full-time translator, and at the same time said that the increase in salary would exceed his imagination. However, Lin Junxuan's positioning of himself is very clear - that is, part-time translator!
