In the past few days, Wang Lihong's melons are flying all over the sky, and in addition to being surprised, looking back at the shocking news in the entertainment circle in the past two years, I will feel that Wang Lihong's matter is also "normal". As Keigo Higashino said in "White Night", "Human nature is something that does not hold any hope for moral purity for anyone, everyone in this world is half-human and half-ghost, and no one can see it if they get too close." ”
We often say that there are two things in the world that cannot be looked at directly, and that is the sun and the human heart. Children living in happy families may not be able to understand how far a person's heart can be between good and evil. In the story of Keigo Higashino's "White Night", Nishimoto Yukiho's life begins with pity and suffering, she tries to break free from the suffering, try to climb up, but in the end, under the hostage of desire and hatred, she rolls in the quagmire of sin.
01
Nishimoto Yukiho is intelligent and beautiful, but he lost his father at an early age and his family is poor. My mother worked as a waiter in a noodle shop, and her meager salary could not support the lives of the two. In order to make ends meet, her mother forced the 11-year-old to provide special services to adult men and sold her to pawnshop owner Yosuke Kirihara.
Yosuke Kirihara's son, Ryoji, is Yukiho's only playmate. Ryoji also grew up in a repressive demonic family. Her mother, Yayoko, is a sake attendant, who is often drunk and never cares about his life or death, and has an affair with the clerk Matsuura, and it is conceivable that living in such a family, Ryoji is depressed and desperate in his heart.
The twist happens in an accident, once Ryoji bumps into his father hurting Yukiho, and shock and anger immediately overwhelm his sanity. At that moment, he blurred the line between good and evil, and the ghost made God pick up the scissors and stab his father...
After the incident, the two of them were minors, and Xuesui was a victim, and they could completely seek help from the police. But Ryoji can't accept his father's cruelty, and Yukiho can't forgive his mother's ruthlessness. These two young minds, who also live in darkness, have a common encounter, and they will pity, pity, and help each other with the disease, making the two evil souls get closer and closer. They decide to hide the truth and blame Kirihara's death on Yukiho's mother and lover. In this way, the two young children gave up self-redemption and embarked on a road of no return.

At this point in the story, it seems that Ryoji saved Yukiho, who also saved Ryoji from prison. From the moment they concealed the truth, their path to each other's salvation was already in the wrong direction.
Buddhists always say that one thought becomes a Buddha, and one thought becomes a demon. Whether a person's good or evil becomes a Buddha or a demon is indeed a choice often only between one thought.
The world is inherently good or bad, and when the two teenagers are dragged into the darkness by hatred and anger, they choose not to look back. It is precisely because of this that Yukiho and Ryoji will grow from victims to perpetrators who once made themselves afraid and angry.
Ryoji eventually dies for Yukiho, but "I see Yukiho going up the escalator, her back like a white shadow." She didn't look back once." The article came to an abrupt end, are they in love? Either way, you can find evidence in the book.
I believe they are in love, and they are in love and cannot be loved. Yukiho has something to pursue, and Ryoji atones for his father's sins. The feelings between them must have surpassed love, and it was a complex emotion that had caused them to walk together for more than twenty years. Whether it is mutual torture or the source of evil, they will eventually become entangled with each other.
Ryoji said: My greatest wish is to walk during the day. However, this desire to walk during the day eventually became a deep despair. Snow Spike and Ryoji, who chose to fall into darkness, were also doomed to be unable to walk hand in hand in the sun.

Fang Siqi wrote in "Fang Siqi's First Love Paradise": "I have lost my soul. After growing up, Fang Siqi asked Li Guohua: "I was so young, how can you?" ”
Xuesui and Fang Siqi also experienced a rotten childhood, the difference is that one chooses the hatred in the heart to sprout into sin, and the other chooses to fall the broken soul with the body.
