Blog 3——“1984”
“1984” is the social background of “English club”, the English full name is the “British socialism”.
All the characters and events in the story take place against this background. 1984 is written in the future of the author’s time. In other words, it’s a fantasy. However, it is different from those “cyberpunk” novels, which are built in a relatively developed science fiction world. Even though both of them are pessimistic about the future development of human nature and society, at least the latter can be refreshing with its flying ships and piles of artificial intelligence. The world of 1984, on the other hand, is devoid of any of that. Its “fantasy” is embodied only in that centralized system. People living in different time and space dimensions can always find resonance and empathy in books. History sees us as we see it. Whoever controls the past controls the future; Who controls the present, controls the past. It is not reality itself that is terrible. It is the most terrible thing to fall into it without knowing it. Therefore, the more books you read, the more you understand, the more painful it is. The happiest people are those who look at the sky from a well, and are best not to realize that they are there.
When I happened to read 1984 I rare broke the fixed routine, a relief to read in the morning and to read him, this is not because the novel’s reputation or holding interest in dystopian, but because I can get, in the pursuit of achievement closed factories in the school, and work within the system in the army in 1984 brought me is the site of some of the familiar experience or artistic reality, the author wrote lyrics for Julia’s outlook on the world as I see now the understanding of the little guys. This does not mean the height or greatness of my thoughts, only that my way of thinking and experience are indeed similar to the protagonist
1984 appeal to me is that it brought me to think deepened my understanding of not widened my train of thought, so that when we are interested in 1984 is not much, just because we are not so much empathy, or those who have not experienced it with a clear goal of reading to the people’s way of thinking, this is not a criteria for high and low or mature or not.
The present world from 1984:
In the future, when productivity fully meets demand and supply exceeds demand,
overproduction will surely lead to unemployment. With the improvement of production efficiency, we need less and less productivity for the traditional manufacturing industry. The real economy will also decline, and the unemployment rate will increase, which will affect the stability of the country. How to do? Need new industry to pull and stimulate. The Internet industry is an extension of the Internet industry. Next, developed countries in Europe and America set an example for us: entertainment, sports, education. By using the technological platform of the Internet, these three industries can disperse many idle labor force. On the one hand, it can solve the unemployment problem of labor force, and at the same time, entertainment, sports and education can consume people who have uneasy factors. The two measures can maintain the stability of the country. George Orwell was able to think through social phenomena in his own time, and it was difficult for the master to look beyond the world.
