The Life of the Rejected Pine Nuts: Every soul who bravely loves should be treated tenderly by the world

Hello readers, the book I want to introduce today is "The Life of the Rejected Pine Nuts".

01 Content Introduction

Kawajiri Sheng, who enjoyed his university life in Tokyo, suddenly visited him one day and told him that His aunt Matsuko, who had disappeared more than 30 years ago, had recently been killed in Tokyo. Sheng, who is in charge of sorting out his aunt's belongings, begins to investigate Matsuko's life.

From a middle school teacher to a custom girl, Matsuko has been searching for something called love all her life, being driven away by her family, abandoned by her lover, and humiliated by fate, but she has always been unguarded by people's hearts. For love, she does not understand what despair is, but only knows to be brave in pursuit.

Her life is a life of absurdity, a life of failure, but it is also a life of not giving up hope, a life of serious life.

The story of Matsuko has touched countless people, and its discussion and interpretation have been endless. She experienced great suffering, full of scars, but in despair and hope blossomed beautiful flowers.

In her, each of us can see our own shadow, experience the light and darkness of human nature, taste the joy and desolation of life, and think about what is the meaning of living.
