Wen 丨 Ten Mile Lotus Pond Autumn Water Long
Yukio Mishima's style of writing should be familiar to everyone, I always thought that he would only write that kind of jaw-dropping forbidden love or same-sex love, I still remember reading two or three novels by Yukio Mishima in college, but the reading experience is not pleasant, but also makes people question their reading ability and judgment, after all, Yukio Mishima has always been a literary youth supported by Yasunari Kawabata, although he does have talent, from the age of 13 began to publish works in magazines, at the age of 16 began to publish serial novels, But the real peak of literature was when he began to publish novels freely in the magazine "Human" with the help of Yasunari Kawabata.
Yukio Mishima's writing talent is indeed commendable, and his writing is delicate and smooth, but his choice of personality and values is more extreme, and it is generally considered that his personality is flawed and strange. His death was not the end of his life, but the suicide by caesarean section, combined with several so-called friends, helped him to make this suicide successful. However, despite his behavior, Yasunari Kawabata said that the Nobel Prize in Literature should be awarded to him, which is also a high evaluation and recognition of his literary level.
"Shiosu" and mishima Yukio's description of forbidden love is completely different, is a clean enough to make people look at the aesthetic love will recall their first love, although the face is red, love flows, the hero and heroine of the work Shinji and Hatsue still maintain a restrained rationality, alone with no one knows, nor did they commit incivility that was accused by others, this purity has been maintained, before they officially became husband and wife, did not do anything beyond etiquette. Loving someone and feeling contented and happy.
When the love is deep and there is a chance to be alone, although because of the rainstorm night, Hatsue, who is a haenyeo, has taken off her clothes and baked by the fire, and when he wakes up, Shinji dimly sees his beloved girl half naked baking clothes, he holds his breath, and after being discovered by Hatsue, he drinks and orders him to "don't open your eyes!" Shinji quickly closed his eyes. But he couldn't keep his eyes closed, he opened his eyes with a novelty looking at his beloved girl, although most of the Japanese sea girls at that time were naked, but because it was his beloved girl, Shinji still felt the kind of like that frankly.
The simple and pure appearance of two people is the image of a natural, most ordinary, young boy and girl whose love has just begun. Hatsue said that girls can't be too intimate before getting married, the two people just kissed, Shinji gave Hatsue a beautiful shell he picked up on the beach, both of them kissed each other happily, and finally ended the date satisfactorily, snuggled up tightly and walked home.
Chiyoko, the daughter of the Lighthouse family, is far from home and studies in Tokyo, but her teenage daughter, Huaichun, falls in love with Shinji, a young man in the village. So when she saw Shinji and Hatsue snuggling closely on a stormy night, a moment of jealousy caused her to tell another young man in the village, Anfu, the little secret she saw. Anfu thought about Hatsue and began to feel his heart flutter, and he also hoped to become the door-to-door son-in-law of the rich Miyata Teruyoshi family in the village and live with Hatsue. However, worried that Shinji, who is better than him in every way, has been robbed, and Anfu actually wants to rape Hatsue. However, in the end, he did not succeed, and Hatsue still maintained a complete body, and finally married his sweetheart Shinji.
Even though the rumors about Shinji and Hatsue made up by Anfu in the village were all over the place, people slowly observed and learned the truth. The description of this place is very similar to the simple people who Shen Congwen wrote about Phoenix City and dongjia cottages. Far from the city, these villagers by the sea are still simple and unpretentious.
Yukio Mishima's writing is beautiful and fresh, and the book was written in June 1954, when Yukio Mishima was 29 years old. This is easier to understand, and this book can be seen as a farewell work of Yukio Mishima to his youth.
Many people say that "Chao Saul" is a pure and beautiful love story of youth that is unique to Yukio Mishima, so it belongs to a long novel that cannot be classified, and the Chinese version translated into a fuller and more understandable version should be "The Love Story of Youth Riot by the Sea". It can also be understood as the re-creation of Greek mythological stories, this completely imaginative interpretation of the ancient love story of the seaside woman, is not impossible for Yukio Mishima, after all, he personally had a period of extraordinary obsession with various Paintings and Mythological Stories in Greece.
Overall, the book is not bad and worth recommending. If you like Japanese literature, you should take a look at it, or see why Yasunari Kawabata values Yukio Mishima so much. What does such a love story with no particularly dramatic plot rely on to impress people, in the nearly 70 years after the first edition, it can actually be republished in one edition and sold well all over the world.
