Will state change of the soul happen to everyone? Or it only happens to those who dare to risk their lives for something great? Would it ever happen to someone who believes 100% that his soul is fixed? Would someone else want to risk her life to help him? I...

用户评价

小刘真的太棒了ಥ_ಥ （最喜欢的故事居然是state change 当然折纸动物等一系列故事都让人掉眼泪 饭政治意味未免太浓重 state change就是淡淡的忧伤 但又觉得已经是最好的结局了。 （呜呜我爱小刘

生病请了三天假。上一次这么长时间地脱离现实还是大三时候住院。晚上读了The Paper Menagerie，想起了当年收到的《病隙小邮》。人生仿佛虚构无端，总是充满了好多的来不及，却又漫幻不可知。 #病人容易情绪起伏

整本书都透着一股淡淡的忧伤呢。

想象力揉杂着中国传统文化元素，行文湿润、伤感又温柔。《The Paper Menagerie》直戳泪点。

喜欢state change和the man who ended history
