Welcome to pay attention to @ Yi said, women grow up gathering place, may you not wear armor, you can resist thousands of life is not easy.
People's feelings are not as good as even the most fragile crepe. Because those satins can be preserved for at least fifty years, and people's attachment is far shorter than this.
INTERVIEWER KAWABATA Yasunari, Snow Country
Yasunari Kawabata is a famous Japanese writer of the Neo-Sensations. He was extremely accomplished in literature, and he worked tirelessly all his life, creating hundreds of literary masterpieces, among which the novella "Snow Country" won the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Generally speaking, the creation of novels comes half from the author's fantasies and expectations, and half from the author's life experience and true feelings, and only by properly integrating the two can we write words that really touch the heartstrings of readers.
"Snow Country" is based on this creative tone, took three years to conceive, and then spent another twelve years to revise, and then presented to the reader.
Yasunari Kawabata's life can be said to be tragic and unfortunate. What should have been a happy and colorful childhood was shrouded in black clouds under the death of his parents and relatives, and the inner melancholy was difficult to dispel, and it was precisely because of such a bitter life experience that he had the idea to create the pursuit of a better future and the sublimation of his own life.
He turned his heart's desires and appeals into words, embedded in the book "Snow Country", outlining a female figure who was also unfortunate in life but had a strong heart, so as to convey the belief that greatness can also be born in the slits, and it also taught the reader that the premise of being loved is to love himself.
The colt is bumpy and unlucky. The most beautiful girl's age was sold into a market full of dirty trades as a waitress; later when a well-meaning person was redeemed, the benefactor died of illness and left the poor colt alone; and then a violinist ransomed her, and she also learned from the teacher, but the master's son was seriously ill and incurable.
Fate never seems to stop teasing, but the strong-natured colt chooses to "grow wildly". We are not actually the delicate flowers in the greenhouse, more or less always under the relentless pressure from life. Some people succumb to difficulties and choose to be willing to degenerate in poverty and let themselves go; some people, in the cold winter, also exert all their strength to try to blossom a refreshing flower.
The komako, which contains Kawabata Yasunari's full expectations, is clearly the latter. Even if life did not pity this poor girl in the slightest, she never chose to give up on herself.
Therefore, in the darkness of life, she guarded the lamp in her heart and illuminated the long night. She would take a slice of her squeezed life to keep a diary, and she would keep a habit of reading under the profession of a geisha who was treated coldly. She perfectly explained, "There is a strong vitality in the midst of poverty. "
Ill-fated, she did not fall or slacken off, but seriously and bravely faced everything she faced, and then used the courage to surpass everything and the love for life to play every card sent down by God. Regardless of the outcome, at least make yourself feel ashamed and not look down upon yourself.
As a writer who is good at metaphors and analogies, the name "Komako" also has its own unique meaning. Yasunari Kawabata said that Komako is derived from the Chinese silkworm horse myth. Silkworms have the meaning of cocooning themselves, and this name seems to secretly indicate the character of Komako.
For Komako, the unfortunate life experience, although it did not make her lose the ability to love, but in the end made her afraid of the kindness emitted by others, and the silk that entangled her was actually the goodwill hidden in the character. "He thought that the colt would be like a silkworm pupae, and let the transparent body inhabit here."
The successive blows of fate have exhausted the twenty-year-old colt, but none of this has eroded the kindness of being born in her heart. In order to repay her mentor, she chose to sacrifice herself, put on white makeup, put on a complicated red dress, dressed up as a mature and feminine person, and became a geisha.
This is what she did willingly and obediently. So what is driving all this? Throughout the book, we find that Komako's life is unfortunate and difficult, in the first half of her short life, she has experienced too much of the world and life and death, and the teacher of the piano is not just to pull a girl who is stuck in the quagmire of fate and difficult to touch the sunshine out of the dark corner. Komako's ability to perceive love is given by the teacher, and for a child who lacks love, the first person to give sugar becomes the person she loves the most, and the person she is most worried about losing.
Because she had never felt the taste of love before, it was difficult to repay this sense of security that could not be easily obtained, so Komako preferred to give up herself, and in her opinion, the most valuable thing she could repay was these.
However, our value is never given by others, but is innate and fought for by ourselves. The kindness that others exude to you does not require you to do everything you can to repay, of course, you must express your gratitude and gratitude in a timely manner, but that should be a way to make yourself comfortable and make the other party comfortable, rather than blindly choosing self-sacrifice, in order to get rid of the actual inferiority complex in your heart and the magnified noble worship of others.
In "Snow Country", two extremely beautiful female figures were created. One is the pure and beautiful leaves, which are the white moonlight that makes Shimamura fall in love at first sight; the other is the gorgeous and cheerful colt, which is the cinnabar mole that Shimamura cannot forget in his heart. In an interview, Yasunari Kawabata confessed that the leaf was his fantasy about purity and beauty, while Komako was an allusion to reality.
Any reader who has read "Snow Country" will say that the leaf is a pure and extremely pure, with a snowflake-like clean beauty, from the appearance to the soul is not contaminated with earthly filthy elegance. It's like the unforgettable Roselle in "Roselle", like a cloud cage moon, snow back to the wind.
Her beauty is unattainable, so this almost fictional image also highlights the true, good, and beautiful qualities of komako on the other hand. For Shimamura and every reader, the leaf is too beautiful to be true, so in contrast, the colt that dares to love and hate, and has a prominent personality is real and real.
She is real, brave and fiery and dares to express her emotions and love for Shimamura; she is kind, and she will come from gratitude and take care of the walker in every detail; she is of course beautiful, and Yasunari Kawabata does not hesitate to use exquisite words to describe and describe, "You even have beautiful colors on your fingertips." "
Komako's beauty is not limited to the attractive appearance of the eyes, but more in the qualities she reveals from the subtleties. For example, a woman's charm is never simply limited to her appearance and body beauty, but should focus on her beautiful inner and true character.
Just like the woman who likes to read is undoubtedly beautiful, because she has a poetic and bookish spirit; the confident woman is also beautiful, because the elegance and calmness can attract everyone's attention; the choice of full-time women is also beautiful, because this is the way and choice she likes.
epilogue
Komako in Snow Country ends up becoming a madman after witnessing Leaf's death. In the pure and flawless world of snow, the fiery fire burns fiercely, burning the body of the leaf and the spiritual world from which the colt rests on the leaf.
Therefore, after the death of the leaf, the colt also seems to have experienced "death". And this is not unrelated to her own contradictory personality characteristics, it is precisely because she longs for love, but is afraid of having love, so she will put love on the leaves of the beautiful incarnation, rather than being firmly controlled by herself.
Therefore, we should be like a colt, persistent and determined, like a stone, the appearance of which has been worn down by time, but when we pry open the inside, we will find that it is a crystalline gem. The pounding and beating of the wind and rain will not make this stone fragmented, and the inevitable pain will eventually become a station for the seeds to inhabit, and then use their tenacious vitality to give birth to hope and future.
But don't be like a colt, cocooning yourself with your bottomless goodwill. The kindness you poured out of it only touched yourself in the end, and in the eyes of others, your self-sacrifice was only because you didn't love yourself enough, just the reaction of a person with a strong sense of inferiority. Man exists in the world as an independent individual, and no one is attached to anyone.
Whether you deserve to be loved or not is not about how much you give and how much you sacrifice. It's about looking at the details and qualities that are imprinted in your bones. Therefore, before you find love, always learn to love yourself.
If Komako can love herself a little more, maybe she will not pin her soul's emotions on Ye Zi, then can she, who has a kind personality, continue to live with that eternal purity and find what she loves in her heart, even after witnessing death?
