Dr. James Murraywas invited by Oxford University Press to compile the "Oxford English Dictionary". This is a huge project. It is impossible to collect hundreds of thousands of vocabulary with the efforts of a few people in the editing team. Dr. Murray, who is a commoner, pioneered the use of a model of participation by the whole people, so that all English speakers can work together. Collect the term definitions and mail them to the editing team. Although there is help from all the people, it is still difficult to compile. For more than two decades, the editing team has successively received more than 10,000 quotations from a doctor named Minerplayed-this kind of workload has surpassed that of professional scholars. When the first volume of the dictionary was published, Dr. Murray came to thank him and discovered that Dr. Miner was a military doctor during the American Civil War. He was imprisoned in a mental hospital because of schizophrenia

To be honest, I don't really like this kind of masculine sensational, noble and flamboyant stuff. Almost all the motivation comes from my inner yearning for beauty and nobility. This really makes me unbearable, and of course this is also the embodiment of the author's spirit. I probably know this story, its most fundamental motivation does not come from ideals.

If love then love, I cried when I watched it. I didn’t see it in the movie theater back then. It’s also great. I have time to make up the original work. And I think it’s better to make a TV series. Those stories about language vocabulary and books are too interesting and fascinating. There are too many to write from A to Z. The emotional changes of each main character, the doctor flashes back to the past and present in the memory, Professor The story line of life on both sides of the doctor and the doctor, everything after the two meet, I believe that the description in the novel is much thicker, and their real life is not short. Although they all died of illness in the end, the professor only compiled T in his life and did it in that era. Such a great thing... The movie is too small for two hours, and TV dramas are still king now~my heart is so sick.
