He had two insistences in his life, one was writing, and the other was running. It is said that he gets up at 4 a.m. every day, spends 4 hours writing, and runs 10 kilometers a day, two habits that began at the age of 30 to the present. He is a literary genius, a runner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, who is often mentioned, and he has many readers in Japan, China, and even the world who are following him, I believe you may have guessed his name, yes, he is Haruki Murakami. Today, we will enjoy the ten aphorisms of Haruki Murakami and experience the spiritual power behind the words.
Long novels, short stories, travelogues, essays, documentary literature, etc., Haruki Murakami have all dabbled in, numerous, rich in content, and wide in subject matter. He considers himself a novelist, and the short story claims to be to "warm up for the long novel", which shows that the short story is not the most important thing for Haruki Murakami, and in the hearts of the majority of readers, his short story status is difficult to compete with the long novel. However, as Haruki Murayama said, the short story is to practice writing long stories, accumulate materials, and at the same time hone writing skills, pave the way for the creation of long novels, and increase the space for long novels to interpret.
From the thematic point of view, Haruki Murakami's short stories are very large, there is pure love, there are memories of youth, there are science fiction and horror, as well as fantasy and fantasy, etc., so many themes of the work, exercise his writing and skills, so that in writing long novels like a fish in the water. Loneliness is the main theme of Haruki Murakami's short stories, and he makes the greatest excavation of all aspects of loneliness to reveal the loneliness of urban people under the bright and beautiful. However, under the pen of Haruki Murakami, the "loneliness" of urban people sublimates into a style, and awakens the reader to produce a "sense of connection", so that every individual in real life is connected to each other, breaking the tragic fate of loneliness in life. In addition, the author is not only good at depicting "loneliness", but also reflects his constant attention to the reality of urban people losing their spirit and pursuing emptiness.
As we all know, Haruki Murakami has written too many works on youth memories and love themes, he is often misunderstood as a writer of such themes, from a deep perspective to delve deeper, you can understand that he explores the essential problems of people and society through youth memories and love, and excavates the evil and darkness of society. In objective and dispassionate observation, he uses precise words to criticize the darkness of society. At the same time, it pays attention to the individual fate of urban people in society, and guides people to escape from the shackles and shackles of society. Therefore, Haruki Murakami's novels about youth and love have profound connotations, but they are often ignored. Moreover, Haruki Murakami has a large number of female readers, which is inseparable from his close and enlightened attention to women's fate. He respected women, advocated equality between men and women, and gave women equal control over society.
Novels about love and growth, we have to mention Haruki Murakami's representative masterpiece "Norwegian Forest", this novel is an obvious postmodern work, reading soothing and melancholy, slightly lonely and sad, but also a kind of helplessness that cannot be determined. The novel takes the state of mind of urban people in the rapid development of the Japanese economy as the starting point, presents the lonely heart of urban people, in fact, it also implies that this loneliness and helplessness are the current attitudes and life patterns of urban people, and it also calls on people to return to the original point and find the true meaning of their own survival. From the content point of view, the author is to lead people to deeply reflect on the difference between life and ideals, pay attention to personal destiny, which is the author's respect for ordinary people.
Haruki Murakami is adept at using the rhetorical method of metaphor, which is a major feature of his novels. He uses a variety of metaphors to make the novel allegorical, and the metaphor is very novel, and it is happy to read. But he does not use metaphors too much, if it is too annoying, so reading his novels, it will make people feel that the metaphors are used just right, a little more cumbersome, less unable to amplify the plot. In terms of novel style, Haruki Murakami's novels have an "American flavor" because he often travels to his American counterparts to learn writing skills, but his novels are complex and have strong personal characteristics, he makes the eastern culture and western culture collide fiercely, and covers the current social problems in Japan, and multiple factors make his novels unique charm.
Personally, I also like the works of Haruki Murakami very much, and I also like this Japanese writer very much, and the theme of his novels not only caters to people's reading taste, but also contains profound practical significance and connotation. Haruki Murakami was born on January 12, 1949, and today is his 73rd birthday, so let's enjoy the ten aphorisms in his works and experience the meaning of life behind the words.
