Chapter 61 Let's meet

December 12, afternoon, Cambridge University Hall

On the stage, "Waiting for Godot" rehearsed by the students of the Chinese Opera Club is being performed, while Su Ye is watching carefully.

Shakespeare's status in the UK is unmatched. After all, besides being a master in literature and art, Shakespeare created more than 1700 new words for English, which greatly enriched the semantics of English and contributed to that era. The popularization and use of English has contributed a lot to communication.

The artistry of Shakespeare's plays is undeniable, but after all, this is a philosophy-based exchange meeting, so after the open class, Cambridge chose the masterpiece of the absurdist "Waiting for Godot" for the play.

This play is very simple, consisting of only two acts. As for the setting, only one tree is needed, and there are only two main actors.The whole play revolves around a man named Godot who has never appeared. The two tramps don't know why they wait for Godot, and they don't know who Godot is. Suicide begins with waiting for no reason, and ends with endless waiting. Since it has to present a state of rigidity and emptiness, it is a test of the actor's skills.

But fortunately, these student actors rehearsed well. At least, Su Ye saw it.

Xin Yi next to him looked thoughtful, and then couldn't help but touch Su Ye, "Junior brother, how about we also encourage students in the philosophy department to rehearse plays?"

"Brother, what you mean is that you want students to use drama as a carrier to understand philosophy better?"

"My younger brother still understands me, and it's really difficult to chew through a large volume. Rehearsing drama can not only enrich students' spare time life, but also draw inferences. The thoughts expressed in excellent cultural works are worth learning from."

"Brother wants to do it, just do it. I think this proposal is very good."

Xin Yi chuckled, "Then you can't be a junior brother. You are so popular among the students. If you call for this, there must be many students willing to participate."

Su Ye said helplessly, "Brother, you have a good intention. But I don't know how to act at all. I suggest that you can find a teacher from the Art Academy to cooperate."

"Our focus is not on rehearsal, how far we can act. We want students to be interested in delving into academic ideas through filming. So we don't need to find teachers from art departments to cooperate. Besides, we are not Is there any foreign aid? It’s still professional.”

"Ok?"

"Little Ginger."

Su Ye didn't know what to say for a while, it was great
"Su, you and Professor Xin are having a heated discussion, do you want to say something?" It turned out that the play had already been performed, and the eyes of the people around were all on Su Ye.

At this time, Xin Yi spread his hands, as if nothing happened, and the Huaxia colleagues around him also smiled badly.

What can Su Ye do, he can only carry it by himself!

"The performances of the students are very good. As a layman in drama, I have been substituted by the performances of the students. "Waiting for Godot" is a typical absurd drama, and when it comes to absurdity, it is natural to avoid one character—Camus. But both The meaning of "absurdity" in "Waiting for Godot" is not the same. The absurdity in Waiting for Godot is more absurd. , The cut was very clean, everything was so inexplicable.

The absurdity of Camus has another meaning. He said that when people face the difficult and mechanical reality, they live according to a rhythm and life pattern every day, which will inevitably lead to why I live like this and why I can’t live in other ways. thought.However, we still continue to live in the current pattern and way.He calls this collision of ideas and reality absurd.It sounded more like sarcasm.

But the meanings that the two absurdities want to express are both positive. Our life is very empty, like a cycle, so we must actively fight against it.”

At this moment, Su Ye looked very much like a good student who was caught deserting in class and asked to answer questions. He knew that he was deserting just now, but he could not only answer the questions, but also draw inferences from one instance.

The surroundings had quieted down at some point, and even the students who were performing just now surrounded them. It was clearly in the auditorium, but it suddenly became Su Ye's speech.
An hour later, the event that should have ended long ago finally came to an end.

After leaving the auditorium, on the way to the restaurant, Su Ye finally had time to look at his phone. He felt the phone vibrate just now.

Before reuniting with Jiang Baizhi, he used to set his cell phone to silent, mute incoming calls, mute text messages, and mute everything.But after adding Jiang Baizhi, he changed it to vibration. Before, he was afraid of missing Jiang Baizhi's news, but now he is not afraid, but it has become a habit.

Sure enough, it was Jiang Baizhi who sent the message, it was a voice, and when it opened, there was an obvious sound of heavy rain hitting the window sill.

The following is Jiang Baizhi's text explanation, Ludao is raining today, we did not start work!
The corners of Su Ye's mouth couldn't help but rise. When he saw the news about Jiang Baizhi, he would unconsciously feel better. The main thing was also very interesting. London is famous for its rainy days, and Ludao is a typical southern city. I didn't expect that London didn't rain , Ludao is down.

"Just finished the activity, today no work, what have you been doing?"

It may be that Jiang Baizhi is relatively free, and she replied almost instantly, "I went out for a walk around the hotel by myself. According to you, this is an elegant thing in life. Walking while listening to the rain. But it is really comfortable."

"I don't know if it's because of the New Year's Eve. I feel that there are quite a lot of people on the street. You know, I also met a person on the road. His back looks very much like you. If I didn't know that you are in the UK, I would have almost gone up to say hello. gone."

When Su Ye saw this message, he couldn't help but fell silent. He wanted to type something, and then deleted it again.

A few minutes later, Jiang Baizhi's news came again.

"Why don't you talk? Is there something wrong? If you are busy, do it first. We can chat anytime."

Su Ye didn't know whether Jiang Baizhi's last news was a hint, or whether this news was an explanation, but he had already made a decision in his heart. He had just finished talking about Camus, and he had to do what he wanted to do immediately. Positive!
"Tomorrow."

"?"

"I'll fly back tomorrow, let's meet."

Immediately afterwards, a series of question marks came over, "Don't you still have to stay in the UK for a few days, and you won't be back until January [-]nd."

Jiang Baizhi, who had nothing to do on the bed, sat up immediately, because she often chatted with Su Ye, so she knew Su Ye's itinerary well.

"The rest of the schedule is not important, so I won't go back with my seniors. It doesn't matter if I return early."

"really?"

Su Ye didn't give any further explanation, but just typed, "Tomorrow I will accompany you on New Year's Eve."

yeah!This is of course Jiang Baizhi's innermost thoughts, how could she say it.At this time, she was so happy that she only remembered the sentence that I will accompany you for the New Year's Eve tomorrow, and even forgot to reply to Su Ye's message.Because she seemed to be surrounded by an inexplicable joy, and she was light and light, and she didn't know where she was for a while.
At this time, Su Ye raised his head and looked at Xin Yi eagerly, "Senior brother, can I go back to China early, there is something urgent at home."

Xin Yi, who was always beside me: .
 Book friends, I have slightly adjusted the plot of the previous chapters 58-60, mainly at the end of chapter 58, the female classmate asked Su Ye if there is someone she likes, and revised it so that Su Ye did not answer.There are two considerations, one is that Su Ye's character will not say that when he knows that Jiang Baizhi will read it, and the other is that it is too fast to say the process now.Those who are interested can go back and look at it again, but it has little effect.In addition, today I saw a book friend commenting on which movie a line came from in the chapter commentary, which felt quite interesting.In fact, there are dialogues or bridges in the plot that come from movie lines or fragments. You can use it as a blind box, and you can comment and guess
