Unconsciously, it is the end of the year again, people with savings have begun to lie down for the New Year, people with strength are ready to fight for bicycles to become motorcycles, and what are people who have no money and no energy doing?
Loneliness, confusion, irritability, anxiety...
This time last year, I was like that. Knowing that he has nothing, he does not want to work hard; but if he does not work hard, he is not qualified to lie flat. And so it gets worse and worse.
The book "Golden Dreams" entered my world at the worst time of mine, like a golden light that dispelled the haze.
Kotaro Isaka, the author of "Golden Dreams", is a Japanese post-70s writer who writes suspenseful reasoning.
Kotaro Isaka graduated from the Faculty of Law at Tohoku University, but his work does not have the feeling of being particularly rigorous and very heavy, which is completely different from the "13 Steps That Disappeared" that I recommended to you the other day.
The most peculiar thing about him is that he combines reasoning and entertainment so perfectly that people can't stop.
In his work, violent murder is as easy as everyday life, but there is a powerful energy in the casual dialogue; the story looks like a short bit and piece in the parents, but the echoes of the details are addictive.
Shocking things happen inadvertently, and the smallest details can determine everything.
This is the human world through which each of us is passing.
Before reading "Golden Dreams", I had read a Mao Dun Literature Prize work, Chen Yan's "Protagonist".
The book "Protagonist" is probably because of the Literary Award won by the Shaanxi Dialect and Qin Cavity, and the dialect words in it are very interesting, but it is a bit awkward in the novel, and it is not very smooth to read.
I just commented on the WeChat reading, saying that dialect writing is very difficult, in fact, some dialect words do not have corresponding Chinese characters.
After some time, a book friend in Shaanxi saw it and commented on such a passage.
Isn't this just a dialect, there is no corresponding Chinese character, is it still used in pinyin? You do what you do, don't force Lai Lai.
In other words, before, I must have been angry at once, which was obviously to quarrel with me.
I didn't say that the Shaanxi dialect was bad, nor did I attack the author, but just expressed that the dialect writing is not easy and unpleasant, and you yourself enter the role of the opposite to attack me, what kind of hero?
To be more extreme, I would also say that Shaanxi people just can't do it, and they can't see others say a bad word.
A cyber war may begin here, leaving a "heavy ink" in the discussion of this book.
But I was reading the cute and beautiful Golden Dreams, and I wasn't the anxious, inferior, explosive, irritable keyboard man I used to be.
So I calmly explained my true thoughts, climbed a neighbor relationship as my own Henan native, and wrote a Pinyin of Shaanxi dialect to discuss with him, little by little, I extinguished the other party's fire, and held my hands in both hands to say peace.
There is such a sentence in "Golden Dreamland", with preconceived concepts to think about analysis, it is always easy to plant and trees.
They are all people who don't know each other, where there is so much malice. But he preconceived me, and if I were a soldier, wouldn't I be hurt by both?
After coming into Golden Dreams, I became more and more aware that anger is a very delayed thing, it eats up your time, but it does not solve any problems, except that you are particularly weak, can not explain any problems.
I saw a saying on the Internet before that people will differentiate when they reach a certain age, some people will become peaceful and become more and more interesting, and some people will become grumpy and more boring.
I'm thankful that Golden Dreams made me realize that I was getting grumpy and trying to go the way I wanted.
It punishes evil and promotes good, and the "evil" in it seems to be too powerful to be touched, but it will always be subdued for various causes.
The protagonist's Great Escape, which seems to have failed to defeat the powerful state apparatus, is actually another form of battle.
"Even if you are in a bad situation, run farther away and live." People are better off alive than anything else."
Probably because life is not very good, so I fell in love with this healing novel.
I shed a lot of tears when I watched "Golden Dreams", and so did I watch the movies.
Inside, I will also have is a broken thought of Kotaro Isaka.
Oh how could I cry I'm sorry But their friendship is really enviable ……
The cute details that can be seen everywhere in the novel remind me of the cute uncle of Haruki Murakami.
Haruki Murakami once wrote an article when he was traveling in Iceland, saying that he met a small strong while taking a bath, and he couldn't help but say "come on" to it at the thought of surviving in such an environment that was not suitable for his life.
Imagine Uncle Murakami wearing a soap bubble and saying to Xiao Qiang, "Do it", it is really cute and warm.
So is the willow in Golden Dreams.
Let his former colleagues help escape, and said that you can leave me wherever you want, don't delay your delivery. On the way to escape, I went to the restaurant to eat and saw that there were not many customers in the store, and I was worried about how the owner of the store would have to live. Even ringing a doorbell, the elevator, is a thumb up "you're great" posture...
This strange and cute everyday life can always inadvertently give people strength and make people believe:
No matter how much difficulty you encounter, no matter how miserable the situation you fall into, no matter how many things you lose, as long as you don't completely lose your life, you can recharge your battery.
The last page of Golden Dreams is the theme song of the film version, which fits the style of the book very well.
The path taken now is left to be remembered sometime in the future At some point in the future, I may miss the path I have taken now You must be there at that time I must be there at that time That way I'll be happy Please I am very happy Please look after me in the future
"I'm very happy, please pay more attention" these two sentences, read softly, slowly raise the corners of the mouth, really will be happy.
Life is difficult, always have to see more beautiful things, in order to carry this life.
May what you and I see before your eyes be beautiful.
