Putting on a False Front

"The Moon and Sixpence?" Chu Ning asked in astonishment when she saw the cover of the book that Wen An had placed on the coffee table.

Wen An nodded and said while reminiscing, "When I was in university, my teacher had recommended this book to me, but I didn't read it at that time. I felt that reading was quite boring. Some things still had to be done by myself to get a different type of knowledge."

"I've read this book before. It's said that the main character's prototype is based on the painter Gauguin; it's quite meaningful," Chu Ning said with interest.

"Just a person who does whatever he wants." Wen An expressed his opinion.

Wen An added, "I don't agree with the protagonist abandoning his family in pursuit of his dream of painting. The series of events that happened after makes me feel that he is a completely selfish person."
