Chapter 263
"Read it backwards?" Ming Jing looked at the others in surprise, "Minglou, Ah Cheng, have you ever read it backwards?"

"Elder Sister, is this enough?" Minglou smiled faintly, "I'm also very curious about what kind of insights Zhang will get from reading Journey to the West upside down."

"Student Zhang, tell me quickly." Ming Jing also had a curious expression.

"If Journey to the West is read backwards, then the story will become like this. Tathagata sent the four masters and apprentices and Xiao Bailong to the Eastern Land to preach in the Tang Dynasty. On the way, they encountered various monsters and fought back and forth. There are no monsters in the background. They were all beaten to death, and all the monsters with backgrounds were rescued..." Zhang Jin smiled and recounted the outline of the story after reading it backwards.

"...In the end, Wukong, who was disheartened because of his brothers' killing each other, found the Bodhi Patriarch to solve his doubts, sealed his magical powers, and came to Huaguo Mountain to accompany the ordinary monkeys to live an ordinary life. For a rock on the top of a mountain."

After a brief summary of the story was told, everyone at the dinner table was stunned.

After a long while, Minglou sighed: "Journey to the West is worthy of being one of the four great books in our country. It can have different meanings and feelings when read upside down. I used to think it was not as good as Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin, but now it seems that it is still the same. I don't understand enough!"

Mingcheng smiled and said: "After listening to this interpretation, I want to try to read Three Kingdoms and Water Margin backwards."

Mingtai said: "I really admire you, I didn't expect you to have such insight!"

"Mingtai, you can see that classmate Zhang's thinking and vision are not ordinary, you should learn more from classmate Zhang, don't be complacent just because you think you have good grades, got it!" Ming Jing took the opportunity to point out.

"Understood, big sister, I learned a lot from classmate Zhang." Mingtai said so, thinking that he had indeed learned a lot of unreasonable and coquettish words.

Minglou laughed as he watched the eldest sister teach Mingtai, and waited until she finished the education before opening his mouth and said, "I wonder if student Zhang has any special insights in poetry besides his own insights in Journey to the West?"

When Zhang Jin saw Minglou asking a question, he couldn't help muttering in his heart. Minglou is the most knowledgeable person in the Ming family. He is proficient in many languages ​​and majored in economics, but he is not bad in philosophy, history, and poetry. A strong man who teaches at the University of Paris!

He waved his hand and said, "I don't have much research on poetry, so I won't say it out loud to make me laugh."

Ming Jing encouraged: "Don't worry, even Mingtai knows poetry, I believe you are not bad."

Mingtai has a black question mark on his face, what does this have to do with me?

But facing the elder sister who was strict in his studies, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he could only bury his head in drinking the soup in his bowl, and gave Zhang Jin a helpless look.

Zhang Jin had no choice but to continue searching, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I really have nothing to say about poetry, why don't I sing a song for everyone."

"Okay, you are versatile and can sing!" Ming Jing said in surprise, "Mingtai..."

Mingtai quickly swallowed the soup in his mouth, and said: "Sister, I understand, I will definitely learn from him seriously."

As he said that, he turned his head and looked at Zhang Jin at the side resentfully, brother, I am asking you to help, not to let my eldest sister have a chance to educate me!
Zhang Jin also gave him a helpless look, you asked for it.

Ming Jing asked, "Student Zhang, what song do you want to sing?"

Zhang Jin said: "This song is called me and my motherland."

As soon as the words fell, the four siblings of the Ming family immediately looked at each other, with different expressions on their faces.

Zhang Jin didn't care what their mood was thinking, and after clearing his throat, he began to sing a cappella. He could only make sure that he didn't lose his tune, and he really didn't have any skills.

"Me and my motherland

Can't be divided for a moment
No matter where i go

Have a hymn

I sing about every mountain

i sing every river
Smoky small village
a rut on the road
my dearest motherland

I will always be close to your heart
you use your mother's warmth

Tell me
la la la..."

There is no accompaniment, and the singing is only at an ordinary level, but as the song progresses, everyone is deeply attracted.

This is a song that completely relies on the lyrics to touch people's hearts. The melody is beautiful and the lyrics are simple and sincere. Even people who are used to the classic songs of many famous masters in later generations will still feel emotional when they hear and sing this song again. Agitation, an inexplicable touch instantly arises!

Even if it is not patriotic, this is a very classic and beautiful song.

Compared with people in later generations who have not experienced this war era, the four brothers and sisters of the Ming family can feel the feelings contained in the song better, and they are all deeply moved by the song!
After Zhang Jin finished singing, he asked, "What do you think?"

You don't need to ask, just looking at their reaction is enough to explain how they feel.

Ming Jing, the most emotional elder sister, was already wiping away tears, and Minglou and Mingcheng, the deepest, couldn't see much expression on their faces, but there was a different meaning in their eyes.

As soon as Mingtai got out of the immersion, he turned around and slapped Zhang Jin on the shoulder: "Okay, you have been a classmate for so long, and you still have this song! Let me tell you, you must teach me this song, Otherwise, you will know the consequences!"

"Eldest sister, use mine." Ming Lou handed over a handkerchief.

Ming Jing took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, then smiled and said, "What a song! It's a really good song! May I ask who is the author of this song?"

Zhang Jin was taken aback by the question. He really didn't know who the author of the song was, so he could only say, "It's the sons and daughters of China!"

"Children of China?" Ming Jing was taken aback for a moment, then nodded again and again, "That's right, yes, they are indeed Sons and Daughters of China. This song is a hymn written by the sons and daughters of China to the motherland! Mingtai, after you write down this song, Remember to give me one."

"Okay, big sister, I will definitely keep an eye on him." Mingtai stretched out two fingers, gesturing back and forth between his own eyes and Zhang Jin's eyes.

After lunch, Ming Jing chatted with Zhang Jin and Ming Tai for a while, and then went back to his room for a lunch break.

After seeing off the eldest sister, Mingtai pulled Zhang Jin to write a song, but Zhang Jin pulled him back.

"Did you forget why you came to me?"

"Oh, yes, my elder brother." Mingtai also reacted, "What do you think of my elder brother?"

"What is it? It's not a blind date. It's strange for you to ask that!"

"What are you thinking, I mean, do you think my elder brother is a traitor?" Mingtai asked.

"I don't have much contact with you at the moment. Your elder brother has always had that indifferent expression, so it's hard to judge." Zhang Jin said, "I have to find an opportunity to observe and test more before I know."

"What are you going to do?"

Zhang Jin said: "Why don't I go and talk to your elder brother alone?"

Mingtai said: "It's not so easy for my elder brother to find clues from the conversation. I haven't been able to get him a word for so long since I got home. Are you sure you can do it?"

"I'm leaving."

"Don't, then you can try it, but we have to find an excuse first, so as not to arouse his suspicion."
