"Princeton... Honestly, I don't like it. It is a paradise for science students, mathematics, physics, economics, and so on. You know, I went to two classes in classical literature, and it was... terrible. "Hugo's disgusting expression made Charlize laugh.

Charlize patted Hugo's forehead lightly, "I know you belong to Yale, and you are very repulsive to Princeton, so we don't need to personally attack the latest chapter of the Nine Dragon God Tripod."

Yale University is a school that emphasizes humanistic sentiments. They always pay attention to the realization of the value of life, the freedom and equality of people, the harmony between people and society, and nature. Even at the beginning of the nineteenth century, Yale University strongly affirmed the humanities education based on classical subjects, and rejected the use of science education.

Today, this is not necessarily correct, but the school atmosphere of Yale University and Princeton University is indeed very different.

Hugo pulled up his lips and smiled, "But I think maybe we still have something in common. You know, when I was at Yale, I could always see some mumblings in the philosophy department of the school. The meditators of, they look at the sky like statues, meditating for a long time, making you almost think that time has stopped like this; this time in Princeton, too, you can often see people like walking dead immersed in yourself on campus. In this world, there seems to be no other important place in life except their numbers."

"Perhaps, their world is different from ours, which is why they can discover those great ideas, and we are just an ordinary member of all living beings." Charlize's words made Hugo cast his serious eyes. Charlize didn't know why, staring at Hugo suspiciously with wide-eyed eyes.

Hugo remembered the definition of John Nash. Everyone thought he was a lunatic, but no one really realized that maybe he just lived in a world that ordinary people could not understand. Hugo looked at the surprise in Charlize's eyes, raised his head suddenly with the strength of his waist, and stamped a kiss on Charlize's lips, and then put his arms around Charlize's neck, making the kiss more and more Shen, until both people feel that they are starting to lack oxygen, then they reluctantly leave.

Charlize still doesn't understand what happened, because she still has limited knowledge of Hugo's experience in Princeton. A deep kiss caused her brain to become hypoxic, and her cheeks couldn't help flying two blushes, which gave her a touch of shyness and femininity.

As if nothing happened, Hugo lay on Charlize’s lap again, and then said, “I met a lot of people like this in the library. I remember one person who left a deep impression on me. That should be in... the engineering library. He always wears a loose sweater, a face and a beard, and a slightly fat figure. He comes to the library early every day, and is reluctant to leave until midnight. He sits at the desk. Seven, I didn't want to move my body for eight hours."

"He probably had some kind of extremely severe epilepsy. Every ten minutes, he would suddenly moan uncontrollably, his nose moved, his feet twisted, twisting like this for about half a minute? Then he seemed to be okay. Generally safe and sound. Then after a dozen minutes later, he will yell out the alien language that I don’t understand. It is indeed another world. Then I asked the students studying there, and they told me, in fact, this Fatty is one of the editors of the encyclopedia. He needs to investigate a lot of information and do a lot of research every day."

Having said that, Hugo paused, his eyes filled with confusion, "I was thinking then, are such people crazy or normal?" Because the so-called "lunatics" in these people's eyes are actually doing something wrong. Isn’t this the most contradictory kind of relationship that humans compile the encyclopedias they come to refer to every day?

Charlize could not help but fell into thinking, vaguely, she understood the meaning of Hugo's words, but she did not express her opinion in a hurry, but listened quietly.

Sure enough, Hugo only paused for a while, and then went on to say, "Later I met another person like this. He was about thirty? Forty? I'm not sure, because his hair and beard are dense and exuberant. It seems that he hasn't been taken care of for a while, even if he is a tramp, there is no problem. He always wears a Princeton pullover, lies on a chair with his legs wide open, and holds a thick book in his hand. Houdishu is often left unopened. It is placed in your hand. When you are awake, you look straight ahead, and when you fall asleep, you look up and die."

"He is different from others, some... the so-called'lunatic'..." Hugo's words were very careful, because he couldn't find a suitable word to describe them, which made him a little helpless, "Those frequencies and Ordinary people are different. They can still see sober occasionally and feel that they are in line with the ordinary real world, but this person is different. Although he is very quiet, he is always in a state of extreme confusion. He often Sitting in a daze, for a long time, then suddenly he violently wiggled his neck and arms, his eyebrows and nose were tightly twisted together, and his mouth was panting, as if he had experienced a terrible pain and was reborn as a great hero. "

Speaking of this, Hugo stopped suddenly, seeming to be lost in thought. Charlize also fell silent, and the hands that helped Hugo massage his shoulders also stopped, as if time and space had stopped at this moment.

"You know," Suddenly, Hugo's hoarse voice came out, and his frowned brows showed his confusion and struggle. "The student next to him took the initiative to tell me that the man was John Nash's son, and then Speaking in a very strange tone,'Mental illness is a genetic disease'." Hugo couldn't help but stop again and whispered in a low voice, "It reminds me of childhood memories. People always say that that person’s The mother or father is neurotic, and then looks at him with a repulsive look, as if he is a species from an alien and will explode at any time in the next second."

Hugo has always been aware of people’s prejudice against mental illness. Whether in the previous life or in this life, in the Eastern world or in Western countries, fear comes from ignorance. People’s lack of understanding of mental illness makes them panic, even if it is Use a rude and cruel attitude to exclude, oppress, and despise these patients. It's like treating a slave.

However, when Hugo really came into contact with these patients, Hugo knew that the facts he knew were still too little. Even if John Nash is a scholar who promoted the development of human civilization, he still carries those cruel and cold persecutions. Perhaps John is really a lunatic, and his son really inherited these diseases... But they should not be out of this society, because they are no different from others, just like some people have a cold, some People have stomachaches, some people have hurt their feet, and some people have cancer. They are just sick, nothing more-and it's a mental illness that everyone gets.

Hugo once heard this sentence in the movie "Still Alice (., "I would rather have cancer..." In this story, Alice got Alzheimer's disease, her Memory can't keep up with the forgotten footsteps, and gradually loses his thoughts and connection with the world.

In the eyes of others, people with Alzheimer's disease are treated with sympathy, alienation, and panic. With the disintegration of the patient's memory and reason, people are also worried that these patients will go crazy at any time. But if it is a cancer patient, people will always be more forgiving-because the patient's life is still not much left, people will even be more accommodating, tolerant, and caring for these patients.

Alzheimer's disease is a brain disease that cannot be cured even in the world that Hugo knows, but what it affects is human memory, reason, wisdom, and so on. It's like...just like those mentally ill people trapped in their own world. Perhaps this is not the same, but people still simply and rudely classify them into one category, and then look at them with strange, sympathetic, but alienated eyes.

Charlize raised his hand, stroked Hugo's hair lightly, and gently followed Hugo's short hair. She can feel the heaviness of Hugo's heart, and she can also understand Hugo's dissatisfaction and anger towards this status quo. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something to comfort Hugo, but then she understood that what Hugo needs is not comfort, but motivation, a motivation that allows him to devote himself to the adaptation of the script.

"Do you remember the "Vanity Fair" interview? John and Alicia stayed together for thirty years. Hugo also didn't want to deny the truth and rareness of this emotion But... the reality is always cruel "But I asked carefully in Princeton, these years, they lived in the same house, just the relationship between the people living together. Because after Alicia's divorce, she could not find a suitable residence, and her meager salary There is no way to pay the rent, so she chose to stay...Of course, it cannot be denied that her stay is indeed very important to John, at least they can take care of each other...but, perhaps because of this, these years , John has also been married several times and talked about several vigorous relationships... The bond between them is not as deep as imagined..."

Hugo is not a pessimist, on the contrary, his thoughts are always positive and optimistic, but the more he understands, the more Hugo realizes the hardship and cruelty of life.

"The first time I met John and Alicia, it was an accidental encounter. On my way to the library, two old men walked face to face. The man was tall but dry, and the woman was short and bloated. They Dressed in formal attire, I was on my way to participate in a certain ceremony. When I recognized these two people as John and Alicia, I stood there in surprise. They just walked past me, staggering and silent. Without words, the two people are so alienated, like...like the alienation of strangers, and like the alienation caused by acquaintance for too many years..."

Hugo's voice gradually disappeared from his lips, and he fell silent again.
