There are many classic sentences in 1984, such as the sentence "Big Brother is watching you".

The eldest brother is a middle-aged man about forty-five years old. He has a thick black beard and has rough and handsome facial lines. From this, Stalin's shadow can be seen.

Big Brother has never really appeared, he only appears on the screen.

As the leader of Oceania, he is admired by everyone. Every time people have to salute the big brother on the screen respectfully, and dare not express a disrespectful look.

Because the big brother is watching you, he is everywhere.

This is personality cult.

The Soviet Union had not yet formed a cult of personality during the period of Lenin, and Lenin himself was very opposed to cult of personality.

He emphasized: "The leader is not an angel, not a saint, not a hero, but an ordinary person."

The Soviet cult of personality began in 1928, and this year was Stalin's 50th birthday.

Starting a few days before Stalin's birthday, portraits of Stalin were hung in all public places and larger buildings in Moscow, and newspapers were filled with articles and poems praising Stalin.

On his birthday, eight editions of the Truth were used to celebrate Stalin in six editions.

Stalin was praised as "the greatest leader, a perfect man without any mistakes", "Every word from Stalin was spoken on behalf of the Soviet people."

There were unwritten rules in the Soviet meeting, and Stalin had to stand up and applaud for ten minutes when he appeared.

Whoever doesn't try to applaud is not loving Stalin enough.

If someone dares to pretend and doesn't need the police to investigate, the people around him will report it. This is the real ubiquity.

You never know who will sue you, and even your family members cannot believe it.

In 1984, there was also an enemy of Big Brother, who had a Jewish face and goatee mark.

Here we refer to Trotsky, the leader of the Soviet Union, because Trotsky also had goatee.

The enemy ran abroad and not only colluded with foreign countries, but also incited the people of Oceania to oppose the big brother, forming an organization called the "Brotherhood" to engage in espionage and conspiracy activities in the Oceania.

In 1929, after Trotsky was expelled from the Soviet Union, he continued to attack Stalin.

So, although the novel in 1984 was placed in London, it still tells the story of the Soviet Union.

In Oceania, there is a sin called the sin of thought. As long as you have thoughts, you commit the sin of thought.

The ideological police will monitor the video through telescreens installed throughout the country. Once an existing person has the idea, he will arrest the person and let him disappear completely.

The "thorough" mentioned here is true thoroughness.

They will completely erase this person from the lives of the Oceanic residents by tampering with history and documents, as if this person had never existed.

So, how do you judge whether a person has any thoughts?

A very simple math problem, two plus two equals a few.

In the Ocean Kingdom, anyone who answers two plus two equals four is thoughtful, because in this country two plus two equals five.

To survive in this country, we must give up the ability to think and become a slave without thoughts.

There is only one voice in the whole country, and the big brother says whatever he says.

The protagonist of 1984 worked in the Records Department of the Ministry of Truth of the Oceania.

As a small clerk under the Ministry of Truth, his daily task is to constantly tamper with documents. Any document that may have political and ideological significance is his work goal.

He wants to constantly tamper with the past to make it meet the needs of reality.

Trotsky revealed Stalin's tampering with Soviet historical documents. In order to make his resume perfect and without any mistakes, Stalin modified all his previous records and meeting minutes.

The modified text became the history of the Soviet Union.

This fully confirms the saying that history is often written by the winner.

The protagonist was not very satisfied with this kind of life, so he decided to write a diary.

In Oceania, it is not allowed to write a diary, because writing a diary means you have your own ideas and ideas.

The protagonist secretly wrote a diary at the risk of being arrested by a thoughtful policeman. The diary became his spiritual sustenance.

He wrote in his diary.

"A era of the same, of loneliness, of the big brother, of the era of dual thoughts. To the future, to the past, to a time when people are free of thought, people are different, but life is not lonely, to a time when truth exists and things that have been done cannot be erased."

"Down with Big Brother!"

His idea is undoubtedly very dangerous.

At this time, he met a woman, a young, beautiful, sexy woman with a slutty mouth that looked natural and healthy, with a curved body full of vitality.

They began a secret relationship.

But in Oceania, this is not allowed, and there is no personal relationship between individuals or living a passionate life.

You do not belong to the family, clan, tribe, country, or even class, but only to the Big Brother.

The only goal of marriage is to have children in order to better serve the elder brother.

The protagonist longs for love and his soul needs comfort, so they escape from the big brother's surveillance and risk their lives to date again and again.

The result was naturally that he was exposed by the ideological police and suffered severe torture.

Under the extremely terrifying torture, both of them deviated from their original oath and betrayed each other.

They gave up their will to freedom and chose to continue to love Big Brother, and were killed by the police.

Correspondingly, the Ministry of Truth in Oceania will erase all the records of the protagonist, and he has never existed.

1984 talks about a brief betrayal under totalitarian rule, which ended in failure.

Does this story look familiar? It is similar to our plot by the Soviet writer Zamiatin.

Including the beautiful new world of British writer Huxley, all three novels describe the story of the protagonist fighting against the entire world in the future but ultimately failing.

This is the "dystopian" novel.

Correspondingly, it was first proposed by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, meaning "an imaginary country".

Thomas Moore, the founder of British Utopia, portrays such a scene in his famous Utopia.

"There are public ownership, the people are equal, and the principle of distribution on demand is implemented. Everyone wears uniform work clothes and eats in public restaurants, and officials are elected by public elections."

This is undoubtedly an ideal country.

Since the concept of utopia came into being, many people have carried out similar social practices.

In ancient China, the most utopian character was Wang Mang.

After becoming emperor, Wang Mang began radical reforms. He abolished the private ownership of land and implemented land nationalization. He did not allow private land to be bought and sold, and then redistributed the land.

He also wanted to abolish slavery and prohibit all slave trading.

He even implemented a planned economy, the government controlled prices, imposed income tax, and implemented a monopoly system.

Therefore, many people in later generations thought that Wang Mang was a time traveler, but because he was too anxious to realize socialism, he was accidentally killed by the natives. (To be continued.)
