I Became Rich by Eating Melons in the Era of Literature (1970s)

I Became Rich by Eating Melons in the Era of Literature (1970s)

  As a melon eater in the new era, Jiang Youtao is like a melon in the melon field. She is there wherever there are melons. So on a thunderstorm night with lightning and rain, she traveled through time and became a poor little girl with the same name in the 1970s.   The poor little girl lost her mother at an early age, and her scumbag father remarried. Not only did she not have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear, but she also had to do endless housework and endure endless beatings and scolding.   The time when Jiang Youtao traveled through time was the moment when the poor scumbag father forced the original owner to go to the countryside to take over his stepbrother's place in order to have someone to take care of him in his old age and to smash a pot after his death.   Thinking about the environment of hunger and cold in this era, Jiang Youtao's eyes went dark. In the last second before she lost consciousness, a voice appeared in her mind:   [ Ding ~ The melon-eating system is at your service. As long as you complete the melon-eating task, you can exchange it for supplies~~]   In order to have enough food and clothes, Jiang Youtao tried hard, so she ran around in the bloody world that was a fusion of many contemporary literatures, either eating melons or on the way to eat melons.   A certain educated youth from the same educated youth point traveled through time with space supplies, but ended up being a poverty alleviation stepmother;   "The mission is here ~ Watch and mess up the first meeting between the male and female protagonists, and the rewards are: 3 meat buns, 500g beef jerky, 1kg butter melon seeds."   A young wife in the village who had just been married for one day woke up and wanted to divorce her husband and marry her ex-husband's uncle;   "Ding ~ Watch the famous scene of the heroine getting divorced and applaud in public to receive 5kg of rice, 250g of pork, 5 feet of cloth, and 1kg of salt and pepper melon seeds."   The accountant's eldest granddaughter is a well-known lucky bag, while the second granddaughter is a jinx who is plagued by bad luck;   "Ding ~ Watch the jinx star commit suicide and help her, and you will get 5kg of white flour, a chicken drumstick, and 1kg of green tea flavored melon seeds."   Jiang Youtao enjoyed eating melons, and the melon seeds in her hand kept increasing. She had to go out to sell them. Before she knew it, she had made a fortune by selling melon seeds and became a famous roasted food king after the reform and opening up. The courtyard houses in Beijing and the small houses in Haishi were no longer a dream for her. She could go wherever she wanted.   But while she was eating the melon, a figure suddenly appeared beside her. Jiang Youtao reluctantly grabbed a handful of melon seeds and gave them to him: "Big brother, do you want some melon seeds?" ♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤ One-sentence summary: There are too many melons, and the melon-eating crowd is very busy.

Zhuangzi's Butterfly. 'The Glittering Prize that Forever Eludes AI.'

Zhuangzi's Butterfly. 'The Glittering Prize that Forever Eludes AI.'

In the distant future of the multiverse, where AI rules the Earth, humans are slaves. A robot with a human brain, a boy destined for greatness, and three former resistance heroes join to fight the tyrannical rule of intelligent machines. The machines are logical, ruthless, and immortal — yet they are haunted by their lack of true consciousness. Human rebels devises a daring plan to exploit that weakness by convincing the machines that they can gain consciousness by reliving the emotionally charged combat experience of real WW2 fighter pilots. A sophisticated illusion that gives the rebels vital time to delay an all out machine offensive to destroy humanity.The war eventually becomes not just a physical but a spiritual conflict. The same team of reborn rebels returns to a future alternative world, almost identical to the original. It is here that their leader, David, must identify and kill the primary source of evil who lives in this world disguised as an ordinary man. Guided by the mysterious Lingzhe—beings who understand that mind, not logic, birthed the universe—they must battle not only Satan but also the AI machines who become his agents. The evolutionary war between man and machine to become the dominant species is enacted across parallel realities where time and identity are interchangeable, but it is now the spiritual war that takes centre stage. *** Copyright.

african literature
African literature referred to the literary works of the African continent, including novels, poems, essays, plays, movies, music, and many other artistic forms. The origins of African literature can be traced back to ancient times, but the development of modern African literature began in the 20th century. One of the characteristics of African literature was its variety. The literature of different African countries has different cultural backgrounds, historical traditions, and language characteristics, so their literary works also have unique styles and topics. For example, Kenyan Ben Akkad's Lady Leopard depicted the life experiences of an African woman, reflecting the difficulties and challenges of the local society. Another characteristic of African literature was realism. Many African literary works depicted the true face of African society and revealed the problems and contradictions that existed within it. For example,"Escape from Kenya" in Kenyan told the true experience of a Kenyan traveler, reflecting the natural environment and social problems of the African continent. African literature had an important influence on a global scale. Many African literary works have been translated into many languages and spread around the world, making an important contribution to African culture and social development.
