Someone once asked a bookman: "Why do you say that many famous works mostly end in tragedy?" ”
Some Shujun thought about it for a while, and felt that only the "love and not the can't" that appeared in the tragedy could be more unforgettable, and it also made us understand how powerless our resistance would be under the fate of many times.
Today, this work brought by Shujun contains two major themes of many literature: love and death.
At the same time, the author also integrates the most beautiful things in the world, such as the first love and the yellowed love letters of the student days, and today there are books that are told by the Japanese writer Shunji Iwai's "Love Letters".
Born in Tokyo, Hiroko Watanabe is an introverted and gentle woman who met Fujii Tree, who studied oil painting and loved mountaineering when she was a junior college student in Kobe, and the two soon fell in love and planned to get married, but unfortunately something happened, Fujii Tree died in a mountaineering accident.
Poor Hiroko Watanabe never came out of her sad emotions again, and she stayed in the place where her boyfriend died for three years.
Finally, on the day of Fujii's third anniversary, she could no longer control her thoughts, and sent a letter to Otaru City, the address of her fiancé's middle school days, which contained a short line of words: "How are you, I am fine." ”
She thought of it as a love letter to heaven.
But something unexpected happened, and within a few days, Hiroko actually received a reply! The content of the reply is also very simple: "Hello, I am also fine, just a little cold".
Excited, Hiroko felt as if her boyfriend was really ill, and immediately sent cold medicine, and from then on, she began to exchange letters with Fujii Tree, who seemed to be living in the paradise of Otaru City.
In fact, as we think, there is no miracle, and there is no way to write to heaven.
Hiroko's letter just happened to be received by another girl named Fujii Who worked at the local library.
In this way, the two girls began a period of divine intercourse. And in the process of communication, the female Fujii tree also gradually entered her own memories, that memory, about her first love.
Fujii recalled that in middle school, there was a male classmate who had the same name as himself, and the two people were joked by their classmates that they were born as a natural couple, and the young and vigorous male Fujii Tree was annoyed and angry about it, and even beat up because of the pranks of his classmates.
But what she didn't know at the time was that the boy with the same name as her did silently like her.
He would write the common names of the two people on the borrowed book and paint a portrait of her after a borrowed book called "Remembrance of the Watery Years".
However, the young girl at that time did not know what it was, and now that time has passed, when she finds this emotion in her memories, Fujii's heart is full of touching and indescribable complex emotions.
Later, the mystery of the incident was solved by Akiba, the nemesis of the male Fujii tree.
This Akiba has a crush on Hiroko a long time ago, but has been embarrassed to open her mouth, and as a result, she is quickly boarded by her friend Fujii Shu.
For many years, he had been in love with Hiroko and silently guarded her side, and when he heard that Hiroko had actually corresponded with Fujii, who had passed away, he naturally did not believe it, so he followed the address with a letter and said with a very strong attitude:
"My letter is addressed to Fujii, and if you are, you must immediately produce evidence."
The letter immediately angered the other party, and in order to prove that he was not a fake, Fujii sent a copy of the household registration book.
And Watanabe Hiroko found that the person she had been communicating with was actually a beautiful girl, and the other party's appearance was surprisingly similar to her own.
Is this what is called fate?
Believing that her fiancé was dead, Hiroko traveled to Otaru City with Akiba and knocked on the door of Fujii's house.
In the process of exploring the truth of the incident, Hiroko also began to wonder if her fiancé's liking for herself was related to the girl in front of her, and at the same time, she began to wonder if she could start a new relationship, such as with Akiba around her.
But it is worth affirming that in the process, Hiroko Watanabe slowly relaxed, and she decided not to be bound by her old feelings, but to let it pass away with the wind.
At the end of the story, the female Fujii tree looks at the library card that the boy gave him in his hand and looks at his portrait with emotion.
On a snowy night, Hiroko shouted out to the snow-capped mountains in the distance, "Ah Shu, how are you, I'm fine", and finally let go of the past and decided to start a new life.
A man, at the same time met, loved, lost these two girls, and finally he went to heaven darkly and quietly, but at the same time, the clues left behind by his life connected these two girls who were originally from different sides of heaven, so that their respective life trajectories were intertwined.
Of course, we can also understand that the male Fujii intends to ask Hiroko to abandon everything and find her own life again.
Because the days go on forever, nothing can be lost and nothing can lose the courage to move forward.
The ending of "Love Letter" is the best ending for Hiroko.
Some shujun also seems to see the only definition of love in this story - that is, to let the other party live happily without any obstacles or terror.
