Once, working late to late, on the bus home, I saw that many people were tired and suddenly felt that life was not easy.
In life, how do you face the imperfections of this world?
It wasn't until I saw the book "Golden Dreams" that I had the answer in my heart.
"Golden Dreamland" is the representative work of the well-known Japanese writer Kotaro Isaka, who won the 5th Japan Bookstore Award and the 21st Yamamoto Goro Award, and the Sales of Japanese Edition exceeded 1.14 million copies.
Regarding the original intention of "Golden Dreams", Kotaro Isaka said in an interview:
Needless to say, how immature human beings are and how difficult the world is, needless to say. If the reader reads Golden Dreams and feels that "although it is difficult, tomorrow will also be hard", I am satisfied.
01
Speechless and under siege
The protagonist of "Golden Dreamland", Aoyanagi, saved the idol star when he delivered the goods two years ago, so he became popular for a while.
Suddenly, one day, he was told by a friend that Prime Minister Kaneda was about to be assassinated by a remote-controlled helicopter bomb, and a mysterious organization was laying down a net of heaven and earth to design him as the murderer behind the scenes.
Although he still couldn't figure out what was going on, he remembered his friend's words: "If you go into the police station to prove your innocence, I'm afraid you won't be able to go home until you confess your guilt." ”
So he chose to run away and live.
In the process of fleeing, the evidence emerges one by one, and all the evidence points the finger at Aoyagi.
In the police station:
1. On the day of the crime, in another nearby car explosion, a man who escaped from the scene looked quite similar to Aoyagi.
2. The police obtained surveillance images provided by a remote control aircraft supply store in Sendai City, and the store manager insisted that this person was Aoyanagi.
3. When Aoyagi was a student, he used to work in a factory called fireworks in Sendai City, and he may be familiar with the black gunpowder used in fireworks.
In terms of television stations:
1. The TV cameraman took a picture of Prime Minister Kaneda in Aoyagi's room, and his face was painted with a ×.
2. The manager of a fried pork steak shop claimed that Aoyanagi had eaten set food in the store, ate the rice grains cleanly, and had words in his mouth: Kaneda is a dangerous guy.
3. A citizen provided a video and found a man operating a remote control helicopter by the river, looking very similar to Aoyagi.
4. Some witnesses said that two months ago, they saw a man who looked like Qingliu, suspected of harassing women and was pulled off the light rail.
For a time, under the siege of the storm of public opinion, Aoyagi was unable to argue and fell into a heavy siege.
02
Break through the siege
On the way to escape, Aoyagi often said that the greatest weapon of human beings is habit and trust.
He almost relied on these two major supports to break through the siege, and those he trusted also created moving and miracles for him.
1. Morita and Aoyagi University.
In order to pay off his wife's gambling debts, he follows the orders of the mysterious organization to induce Aoyagi's actions.
At the last moment of life and death, he told Aoyagi the truth, but he was killed in the car.
"Aoyagi, run away, live."
2. Ah Yi, Aoyagi's apprentice.
At first, Aoyagi wanted to find Ah Yi to avoid the wind, but he did not expect that the police had taken control of him in advance, and eventually he was seriously injured.
"Elder Aoyagi, don't come to me, you should run away!"
3. Cut man, sendai city roadblock killer demon.
Inadvertently rescues Aoyagi from the police and dies to help Aoyagi find the impostor.
"The enemy of the enemy is the friend. Once you are an enemy of the state or public power, all you can do is to escape. ”
4. Iwasaki, Aoyagi's predecessor when he was working.
Iwasaki wanted to help Aoyagi escape from Sendai through freight, but unfortunately he was reported and fell short.
"How could I possibly help the police, of course I believe you." After you take me as a hostage, escape to the park, run as hard as you can, and take out your energy as a delivery man. ”
5. Haruko, Aoyagi's ex-girlfriend.
Haruko was shocked when she saw the TV report, Aoyanagi always used to leave rice grains when eating, how could it be that the person who ate the fixed food in the store and ate the rice grains clean was him?
Remember that Aoyagi's father hated the satyr the most, and Aoyagi was also deeply affected, how could he possibly become a satyr?
So she evaded police surveillance.
"Aoyagi is not a murderer, I think so is."
6. Five young men with dyed hair, strangers that Aoyagi met when she walked back from the toilet to the parking lot.
"Uncle, you're the murderer, we just want to say hello to you." Come on, you must have been wronged, right? We know your feelings, as soon as something happens, there will be people who suspect that we did it. ”
7. Ichihei, Aoyagi's father. In an interview with a television station, he said to Aoyagi through the camera:
"I've been with him for so long, and all I know is that he's not a murderer. Although things are really tricky now, I will find a way to solve it, so you can refuel and escape smartly. ”
8. The director of the bomb factory, the director of the fireworks factory.
He unleashes fireworks to buy time for Aoyagi and helps him escape through the sewers.
"How could Aoyanagi be familiar with bombs, if he could make bombs, I would make rockets." When the TV guy came in, he said to them unceremoniously, 'I don't think that person would do such a thing.' ’”
In the face of powerful enemies, Aoyagi, because of his trust in friends, predecessors, and even strangers, escaped from many traps step by step, achieving a miracle that was almost impossible to complete.
03
epilogue
"Golden Dreams" is a sad but gentle story.
What landed on Aoyagi was undoubtedly a nightmare, a suffering and a grievance, but the greatest weapon of mankind is habit and trust.
So we learned: no matter how dark it is, there are golden dreams.
Because there are people to be trusted, even when you are close to despair, you will not completely lose confidence in the world.
Everyone's growth experience and encounters are different, and their cognition, feelings and understanding of things will also be different.
Regardless of your experience, you have to learn to understand and trust the people around you, because that could be a light in the darkness.
