Japanese writers' books, I myself except for Haruki Murakami's have read a few, the rest of the most of them have no time to miss, can Murakami's works are popular and straightforward, especially for reasoning and other novels, simply can not read.
But this "Seesaw Monster" seems to be the exception, one is a book about the date, to talk about honesty and timely book reviews, have to read.
The second is that the book is inherently propelled, the legend of the mountain man and the sea man, what is going on? It also happened between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and it had an instant meaning.
The third reason is that the novel was originally published in the magazine "Novel BOC" issued by the Central Public Opinion News Agency to commemorate the 130th anniversary of its founding. Eight writers created their own stories in chronological order from the original dynasty to the future, and the authors were divided into two categories: "Showa Bubble Economy Period" and "Near Future".
Each work is based on the theme of "the antagonism between people", based on the setting that "the descendants of the blood of the mountains and the sea are destined to collide with each other".
Especially the last point, the "novel relay", is particularly worthy of our domestic learning and reference
From this, write this book review.
<h1>01</h1>

The novel begins with a "wedge" section that subtly quotes a dialogue from The Spiral, in which the teenager talks to a woman.
The antagonism between the mountain people and the sea people has existed since ancient times, and there is a story behind every conflict.
Much like the opening "Wedge" part of the Ancient Dragon Martial Arts novel. Like what:
For example, the wedge part of the ancient dragon novel "Tianya ̇ Bright Moon ̇ Knife" is super classic:
"The end of the world is not far away?"
"Not far!"
"People are at the end of the world, how can the end of the world be far away?"
"What color is the bright moon?"
"It's blue, as blue as the sea, as deep as it is, as melancholy as it is."
"Where is the bright moon?"
"Right in his heart, his heart is the bright moon."
"What about knives?"
"The knife is in his hand!"
"What kind of knife is that?"
"His sword is as vast and lonely as the end of the world, as pure and melancholy as the bright moon." Sometimes a knife is swung out, and it seems to be empty! ”
The author takes a step-by-step approach that leads to the mystery until the mystery is finally revealed.
Pharmaceutical company salesman Kitayama Naoto has always followed the rules, an ordinary little person. Since meeting Miyako Shioda, she began her pursuit and marriage, and has not had children for seven years.
Mother-in-law Kitayama Sezu has always had a critical eye, from the first time they met tit-for-tat, there is no good feeling, as if two people are incompatible.
Shioda Miyako is a national security agent, resigned to marry Naoto Kitayama, became a housewife, thought she could get along well with her mother-in-law, but did not deal with it everywhere.
Previously, Miyako Shioda remembered what she realized when she bumped into her boss when Naoto played with the tray balance:
The balance must be balanced, the seesaw should be repeatedly up and down, and it is impossible to remain in the same position at any one moment.
She imagined her mother-in-law sitting on a balance tray. Needless to say, the balance will naturally tilt to the mother-in-law's side.
In addition, she found that her father-in-law fell and died suspiciously, her mother-in-law's parents both died in a car accident, and witnessed the death of Santaro, an eyewitness who witnessed her father-in-law's fall, so she secretly investigated the clues and fought with her mother-in-law in the open and in the dark.
The protagonist, Naoto Kitayama, accidentally discovers that 0 Hospital is suspected of cheating on insurance, but is kidnapped by the small director and his friend Mr. Mianguan, who was introduced to work at the hospital, and writes a suicide note to his wife Miyako.
The fake postman who attacked the palace was not designed by the mother-in-law, but had been holding a grudge against the palace and leaving the organization, just happened to destroy and capture a poisoned person, and destroyed the arrangement of the former skinny little intelligence officer who picked up the palace, and as a result, this person also suffered a car accident and died.

The mystery is also confusing.
Ishiguro Ichigo met Miyako and said, "Once the mountain people and the sea people meet, they will become antagonistic, sometimes even developing into huge disputes, and often causing human deaths." ”
Miyako, with professional sensitivity, heard Naoto call and said, "I'm coming back late", had something to do, and immediately commissioned someone from the organization to look up the phone information, found a building, hit the janitor, and as a result, was run away by another person, and Naoto had been transferred.
Miyako went down to chase after the person running, but the janitor drove up to him, took out a special baton, the two fought, Miyako's foot and head were injured, and gradually lost strength, at this time the mother-in-law appeared, put down the janitor, and saved Miyako.
In order to save the straight, the mother-in-law came together, it turned out that the mother-in-law was a person of the national security system of the earlier generation, and the first time they met, they knew the previous identity of the palace, and they had not been broken.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drove to save Naoto, and as a result, Naoto saved Miyako, and was stabbed and hospitalized, and Naoto did not know the true identity of his mother-in-law.
During this period, the mother-in-law's family died one after another inexplicably, all of which were secretly calculated by the former enemy family after the mother-in-law quit the organization.
The two were still arguing at this time.
Miyako remembered what Ishiguro had said: Since ancient times, they have maintained a hostile bloodline, and the mountain people and the sea people are absolutely incompatible, and once they meet, they will be hostile.
Miyako asks her mother-in-law for confirmation of her relationship with Naoto. It turned out that it was not his own child, but the boy rescued by the mother-in-law in the fire when she was on a mission, and he was an adopted son.
When the Soviet Union completely withdrew from Afghanistan, Naoto and Miyako moved from their old houses to new apartments, and their mother-in-law lived alone, resuming the habit of drawing picture books.
Naoto recovered from the hospital for several months, and the company was in a state of turmoil.
Mian Guan was arrested, and the crimes found were far beyond The Imagination of Straight People.
O Hospital was found to be cheating on insurance and was ultimately unable to continue.
The first part comes to an end.
The beginning of the second part, which has nothing to do with the first part, I thought it was another novel. Roughly turning the back of the page, looking at snails, picture books, mountain people, sea people, thinking: it seems to be a novel's cross-era writing.
Sure enough, the first part is a seesaw monster, and the second part is a spiral monster.
There is a connection between the two, and there must be a connection.
Seeing this, I have to admire the subtlety of Japanese novels. This kind of subtlety is something we can't learn.
Their subtlety is based on daily refinement and refinement, so the Japanese German manufacturing is closely related to their way of thinking, even the way of writing, the way of writing.
A novel does not need too many characters, and these characters are intricate and beyond imagination. And the narrative is different.
For example, the first part, the narrative tone, is cross-narrated from Naoto and Miyako, which adds infinite interest and reasoning implications.
High, really high!
The second part, choose the opportunity to read and then write.
