From the Buddhist point of view, the teacher’s brother also recorded in the quotations of the ancient Buddha in the Zen Record that Manjusri Bodhisattva used to be the corpse of Pipo, the corpse of Pishe, the floating Buddha of Pishe, the detention of Sun Fo, and the detention of seven Buddha teachers including Muni Buddha, Kaya Buddha and Sakyamuni Buddha, but when he became a Buddha in seven buddha, he became seven buddha’s brother.
A Buddhist monk asked if Manjusri Bodhisattva, who wanted to move to seven buddha, was a Manjusri teacher.
The Zen master answered Manjusri’s fate and became a teacher.
In the course of our life, it is not easy to meet several teachers who can inspire us, and it is not easy to need a deep relationship.
Looking back on my teacher’s fate in high school, I miss the most compassionate Mr. Wang Yucang and the most severe Mr. Zheng Rengui.

brief introduction
I’m going to travel all over the world, and I’m going to experience deep sadness and inexplicable sadness, and I’m eager to try my best to experience life. Pursuing the stars in my soul, and not wanting to go with the flow, life is tantamount to a gamble. There are too many unsuccessful people to mention. I’m not afraid of making mistakes, and maybe I’ll find my goal in one of the wrong ways. You can’t help but ask yourself what life is, whether it’s meaningless or can I be left to fate. After the first draft of the last novel of Mao Mu’s four representatives was completed, he said that writing brought it to me. I don’t care if other people think it’s good or bad. For me, this is the most important thing. In the first month, the blade sold 500,000 copies in the United States. It was twice adapted and shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Film and won the Best Supporting Actress Award. The background was set in two world wars. In the 1919′ s, Larry, the protagonist of the novel, served in the army during World War I, and flew high in the vast sky, wanting to go far beyond the secular power. The death of his comrades-in-arms made him realize that life could not surpass Larry after he retired. I don’t want to get married, I don’t want to work, I left my relatives and friends to travel to Europe, and finally I went to India. I was inspired by an elephant god retreat. The true meaning of life is Mao Mu’s only real name. Although all the characters in the narrative novels take other names, they are all fictional from the personal experience of friends in Mao Mu
Do it yourself.

Blade was the most famous novel in Mao Mu’s later period in 1944. He published in 1915, representing the shackles of human nature. At that time, he had been active in British and American literary circles for more than 30 years. Many exotic short stories and popular dramas were famous in the English world.
When Mao Mu wrote Blade, he was nearly seventy years old, and he became famous, so he could create the first draft of the novel according to his own wishes. After the completion, he wrote in his letter, "This brings me great pleasure. I don’t care if others think it is good or bad. I can finally get it off my chest. This is the most important thing for me."
The writer enjoyed his reading, and the response was also unusually enthusiastic. The description of the American reading in the eyes of the British made Mao Mu feel very fulfilled by selling 500,000 copies in the United States in the first month. In his letter, he told his niece that I was very satisfied that I could still write a successful novel at this age. Fox soon bought a film at a high price, and two years later, it was promoted to be shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Film and won the Best Supporting Actress Award, which made the novel more famous.
What is it to live? Is life meaningless or can it be sadly manipulated by fate? Larry, the protagonist, said in front of his fiancee that he was puzzled. The young man suddenly broke off his engagement and let everything go overseas to live a life of unemployment and exile. This is the blade story.
With Mao Mu’s representative elements, the background of multiple narrative techniques in the drama is explicit, erotic and taboo, and the documentary description of the marginalized people shows the typical Mao Mu style in a simple way
Mao Mu’s other positions are particularly special compared with those of Blade, because this is his only narrative novel with his own real name, saying that the storyteller is called Mao Mu. Although I remember a male friend, the characters are all given other names to avoid boring increase, but they are all fictional. The personal experience of Mao Mu friends is as wonderful as remembering and memoiring, so Mao Mu Zongyi means that I call his novels purely because I don’t know what else to do.
Life is great.
The inscription reveals the word blade. The Hindu scripture Kato Oyi’s path to enlightenment is arduous and difficult. If you cross a sharp razor, you must go through the knife mountain to find the answer. This is the price of the story protagonist Larry’s doubt. If the real person finds the answer in the knife mountain, what should you think of the earthly world? This is the reason why Mao Mu wrote it.
During World War I, Larry served in military encounters, and the best friend in the army sacrificed his life to save him, which changed his outlook on life. His fiancee was a wealthy family in Chicago, and arranged for his marriage career early. After he retired from the army, Nelly was a completely different person, who was not married or willing to work, and insisted on a unique trip to Paris.
Larry was humble, his parents died young, and he was raised by a doctor since he was a child, but he didn’t want to pursue fame and fortune. The wartime experience of the American dream made him think about the meaning of life. I want to make sure that there is no evil and I want to know if my soul is immortal.
Ask him about his flying experience. He flew high in the vast sky and wanted to go far beyond the worldly power, but the death of his comrade-in-arms made him realize that life can’t go beyond the emperor. Why should he create evil? So he left his relatives and friends to travel all the way to Europe. I enriched myself, but I was completely disappointed with western religious philosophers. Later, he went to India and was inspired by an elephant god retreat and realized the true meaning of life.
All living things in troubled times
Mao Mu didn’t write a sermon, but stood by the novelist’s keen point of view and looked on coldly. Life was heavy and his travels were relaxed. The plot of the romantic novel was covered with layers of embarrassing truth about life. This was the most successful place of Blade.
The main axis of the story is founded in the conflict of ideas between Larry’s fiancee Isabel. Isabel thinks that the pursuit of knowledge doesn’t sound realistic. It is a man’s duty to devote himself to the workplace. She told Larry who stayed in Paris that you are an American and don’t belong here. Europe is finished. We are the greatest and most powerful nation in the world. Larry answered that it is indecent for a man to refuse to get married and start a business if he can’t solve the problem. This is the purpose of life and the way to benefit the society.
If Isabel represents realism, her rich uncle Eliot symbolizes materialism. This American tycoon spends money all the year round in Europe to help others hide his knowledge of life. He has bought property in Europe and lived a flashy life, and he is also paralyzed by his fear of death. In Mao Mu’s eyes, Europe is full of stories of many decadent characters. Finally, the terrible murder case in the French C? te d ‘Azur deepened the ugliness of the beautiful world.
The blade is set in the 1919 and 1940s during the two world wars. This is the most turbulent era in modern history, and all the sentient beings are obviously the products of troubled times. During this historical period, many European countries were at war, Stalin Hitler and other strong countries rose, the British empire declined, and the western society had serious problems. Although Chinese characters wandered in Paris and London, other European cities did not see the embers of war, they were quietly involved in another wave of historical changes.
Compared with the uneasy situation in Europe, the United States gradually grew into a prosperous country during the two world wars. However, in 1929, the Wall Street stock market crash caused a decade-long economic depression, which caused serious political and economic problems. When Europe was in turmoil, the pursuit of utilitarian American dream gradually revealed its ugly side. In 1949, Arthur Miller published that salesmen were dead and salesmen were persistent and did not dream of America. At the same time, the blade was the same.
Silent ending
In real life, Mao Mu Larry has a heavy secret in his heart. Although Mao Mu was married and born, he hid his homosexuality for many years. Homosexuality was a crime that could be prosecuted in Britain at that time. In 1995, when Mao Mu was 21 years old, the dramatist Wilde suffered great humiliation because of his homosexuality trial, which had a far-reaching impact on Mao Mu. In the future, he was good at dealing with indecent scandals, sensuality and other subjects that violated moral taboos. His creative motivation should be deeply shouted.
Mao Mu escaped from the repression of British culture, lived abroad for many years and even settled in the small town of C? te d ‘Azur, France. He was interested in oriental culture, perhaps because the eastern view of physical desire was different from that of the sinful West.
In 1993, Mao Mu personally learned about Hinduism and went to India to search for information, and went to a retreat near Chennai to visit the sage Lamana Mahathir. During the waiting period, Mao Mu suddenly felt unwell and fainted on the spot. Mahathir learned the news and went to visit without saying a word. Mao Mu looked at the sage for half an hour and finally said that silence was also a kind of dialogue. Mao Mu was deeply inspired.
Larry’s long journey began with asking about evil. He sought the meaning of life in troubled times and was baptized in meditation in the far east. As the master of God often said, silence is also a kind of dialogue. He planned to return to the United States to live after experiencing the absurd things of men and women in the period of ignorance. However, from this news, whether Larry is at home or not can’t get rid of the shackles in his heart.
Some questions may not be answered. This should be the reason why Mao Mu finally judged Larry’s merits and demerits. Larry’s story is not perfect at this point, and I am also Mo Kenai for reading. The blade ending is also the liberation of human shackles in the silence.
chapter one
one
I’ve never been so anxious when I started writing a novel before. I call his novel simply because I don’t know what else to do. There is no story to tell, and there is no death or marriage knot. Death ends everything, so I often end the story, but the marriage knot is also very proper. All reasonable people know how to avoid teasing and recognize the happy ending. Most people rely on their natural intuition to think that since they are married, the hero and heroine can end the story. After many tricks of fate, they finally get married and reach the focus of succession. But I can read this generation knot. I recalled to a male friend that we had been in close contact several times, and it was a long time before each time, so I didn’t know what he was experiencing. Maybe I could fill in the blanks by making up the plot to make the story more coherent, but I wanted to record the impression.
Many years ago, I wrote a novel, Moon Sixpence, based on the life of Gauguin, a well-known French painter. I used my superficial understanding of him to describe the pen characters by inventing many scenes. I didn’t invent them in order to avoid causing trouble to the parties who are still alive. I tried my best to change the recognizable details of all the characters in the story by taking other names. My pen owner may not be a celebrity forever. When his life comes to an end, he may not leave any traces, but he will throw stones into the river for the time being, so he will splash ripples on the water. If you are favored by reading, you will find the story interesting. However, in view of his strong lifestyle and unique personality, the world will find that there was a strange man in this era. At that time, if you want to know a little about his early life, you may find the answer. Although it is limited, some people may want to help him in the future.
I also want to admit that the Chinese dialogue is not recorded word for word, but I have never taken notes on the occasion, but I remember clearly that the dialogue is actually relayed by me personally, but I think it has been faithfully close to the meaning. I am going to make a little revision now. I am good at writing words for Chinese characters, which are all occasions that I heard with my own eyes. Herodotus’ healthy historians also did the same thing to reproduce vivid and realistic scenes, avoiding boring and straightforward narration, so as to attract people to read privately. However, it should not be difficult to find out that this tone is fiction after intensive reading. Whether it can be accepted or not depends on individuals.
Another reason why I feel anxious is that it is difficult for a pen character, Tai Ban, to know others from the United States. I think it is impossible to really know others unless he is a native. Men and women do not represent themselves. They reflect that they are born in cities or rural areas. They often play games. From the older generation, they are used to eating, attending school, being keen on sports, reading poems, believing in gods and so on. All these have created a person’s appearance. It is impossible to fully understand others by hearsay. Since Fa really knows foreign countries, he must experience it and then integrate into my life. At best, people can observe this kind of Chinese characters from the side, so it is not easy to get reading resonance. That is, as Henry James has observed the delicate family and settled in Britain for 40 years, he has not been able to create 100% British characters. As far as I am concerned, some short stories that I have always described my compatriots are an exception, because these stories can generally create characters to read rough clues to imagine the details. Maybe people will wonder if I can turn Gauguin into a British character in a different way. The answer is very simple. If so, these people will distort my meaning. Pretending to be Americans to describe them, they are all Americans in the eyes of the British, and I haven’t replied to their speaking characteristics, because it’s like an American family trying to imitate the spoken English knot, which will be terrible, and slang is a big trap. Henry James often uses British slang in English stories, but it just lacks the taste of the British, so it not only achieves his pursuit of spoken English effect, but also makes English reading feel very abrupt.
In 1919, on my way to the Far East, I happened to come to Chicago to stay for two or three weeks. For some reason, I have to repeat it here. I just arrived in Chicago as soon as a popular novel arrived, and I was interviewed immediately. The next morning, the words rang and I answered.
hello
I’m Eliot Tamburton.
Eliot, aren’t you in Paris?
No, my sister came to Chicago and wanted you to have lunch with us today.
