Haruki Murakami: Norwegian forest in my heart

? I read Haruki Murakami's only love novel, Norwegian Forest, which is related to youth, love and the world. Well, a short book review to comfort depressed April.

Everyone has a dark and obscure forest in his heart. I wanted outsiders to find out, but I didn't dare, so I stood alone in the corner, not far away, moaning quietly.

? The lost people sink deeper and deeper until they are swallowed up by the darkness of the forest. People with gullies in their chests will always meet somewhere in the forest, neither sad nor happy.

The book begins with Muyue's suicide, telling that death is never the opposite of life, but lays the foundation for continuing eternal life in some way. Then different characters face the pain and emotional unbearable in real life, or choose to face it positively and live like a young child, or choose to be swallowed up by the darkness and commit suicide to resist everything that has been overwhelmed.

? Nagasawa

? A rich second generation with high IQ chooses to fight against the whole world with loneliness. He is handsome, wise and not to be outdone, which makes the near-perfect first beauty deeply infatuated. But this dude who is destined not to be fettered by anyone dares not face the love of the first beauty. He can go crazy in the bar with beautiful women on weekends, indulge himself in the hotel bed, then light a cigarette in the morning and leave tired. Thinking of mocking politicians' political gaffes with super-high IQ and long-sleeved style, he dared not face Chumei's quiet and persistent love for him. He was afraid that he would fall in and eventually disappear into the dark forest. Finally, she left Japan and entered the international department. Three years later, the United States was cut off because of her desperate marriage. The protagonist Watanabe couldn't stand the perfect person in her heart, and she never contacted again. She is as lonely as he is, as lonely as fireworks.

Chumei

Gentle girl, persistently in love with Yongze, a rich second generation who dare not love her, tried to save Yongze's lonely heart with a sincere heart. However, everything was in vain, and the saddest thing was that she couldn't wake a person who pretended to sleep. There are not many scenes of Chu beauty in the book. Only when Watanabe and Yongze are together can the girl's mind be revealed and the ponytail be tied up. The pink hairpin is so playful on the pool table that Watanabe appreciates it, regardless of other emotions. When Watanabe told Chumei that Yongze was not worth it, the girl pursed her mouth and silently responded. In the end, I couldn't let go of this monologue-like love, and I sank in the dark until I drowned. Suicide by pulse-cutting will only attract Yongze's sigh, nothing else. For a person who only loves himself in his heart, stones will not cover the heat.

? Naoko

? This girl and Muyue grew up as childhood friends. There is only Muyue in the world, and nothing else. Later, because Watanabe was Muyue's only friend, she slowly let Watanabe into her world after Muyue committed suicide. If nothing else, just because she is Muyue's only friend, it's very sad and really hard. This girl has always regarded Muyue as everyone in the world. Before Muyue decided to commit suicide and leave this depressed world, the last person she wanted to see was not her.

? Actually, Muyue doesn't love Naoko. He never found it, and he didn't want to think about it. He has been close to Naoko since childhood, but it has nothing to do with love. Naoko, too, always thought that Muyue was all she had, so it was natural to love Muyue. I never thought whether it really followed my heart or not, and it didn't matter. Muyue's death also made her feel that she must go with Muyue after three years, because she seemed to hear Muyue calling her in another world, and everything was her own daydream. Since she loves Muyue, why is she cold and dry when making out with Muyue? The body can always directly reflect whether a person really loves each other. It's a pity that Naoko doesn't understand, and neither does Muyue. Otherwise, how could she go to see Naoko reluctantly with a cigarette in her mouth after Naoko's chest surgery, then hate the hospital and leave? The key is that both sides think this is normal and unreasonable.

After getting familiar with the protagonist Watanabe, I feel that with Watanabe's company, I can avoid falling into a dry well deep in the forest. Watanabe's arm is the last power to resist the call of the world beyond Muyue. But after the only sexual relationship with Watanabe, I felt that I had betrayed Muyue, and I couldn't forgive myself. But all she did was simply give Watanabe a reward and thank him for being with her, that's all. But once again, she mistakenly thought that she was in love with Watanabe and was afraid of Watanabe, because she would fall into darkness with her and fall into a dry well in the depths of the forest. However, she didn't fall in love with Watanabe, but just a dependence. Otherwise, how could her body resist being with Watanabe in the future? When she decided to hang herself, how could she not leave a suicide note and say goodbye to Watanabe? She just said that she left everything to Reiko Kobayakawa, and nothing happened in Watanabe. In fact, after Naoko witnessed his sister commit suicide by hanging herself, the shadow left in his heart has never been erased, and his family lacks love for her. At Naoko's funeral, it can be seen that his family was extremely casual and the funeral was very shabby.

Midori Valley

A short hair, lively and youthful, wearing a pair of oversized sunglasses when tired, maverick, a pair of long white legs swaying in front of Watanabe, Yoko has a lively personality. For the person he likes, he pursues desperately and lives a free life. He can't wait to hang on Watanabe every day. When Watanabe missed Naoko and ignored Yoko's new hairstyle specially made for him, he resolutely disappeared for a month. Really a character who is crazy about love. Most boys in love like this type of girls, dare to love and hate, and dare to confront the world, even if life has long passed. Father even hoped that she could die for her mother. It doesn't matter. When her father was seriously ill, she still took care of him and did all the dirty work. Well, no wonder a maverick like Watanabe can't let go and hates coarse grains at home. He pays his own pocket money to buy pots and pans, learns to cook, and tries his best to do what he likes, such as Watanabe.

Even if life is bitter and tired, there is no complaint, just like eating a bowl of instant noodles at noon, with a dull tone and swallowing all the pain. Give 100% passion to people or things you like, and don't care about things you don't like. The world view is black and white, and the unyielding character is like that short hair, simple and rude.

Watanabe

However, the protagonist in "Norwegian Forest" did not bring his own aura. He likes reading, being alone, Naoko and Green, but he doesn't like the noisy world and impetuous people. Like a person against the whole world, living very hard, but very fulfilling.

Suddenly, I knew Naoko had hanged himself, and I was annoyed that I didn't find Naoko's abnormality earlier and spent more time with her. Maybe Naoko won't kill himself. I feel that all the decorations in the rented house are meaningless because of Naoko's departure, because everything he does is to wait for Naoko's arrival and then live with her. The heartbreaking pain made him feel the need to exile himself, soothe his already riddled soul with pain and sorrow, and pay homage to the news of Naoko's death in a way that was almost masochistic.

After a month of wandering alone, Watanabe suddenly remembered Qing Zi. Yes, Yoko is still waiting for him. Like a drowning man, he grabbed a straw, took a deep breath and shouted green. But the green son at the other end of the phone was silent for a long time, just like all the Mao Mao rain in the world fell on all the lawns in the world, and the silence continued. Finally, I just asked where it was. Watanabe didn't even know where he was, so he lost himself and Yoko.

Dare not think about it. Haruki Murakami's writing technique is really superb. At the beginning of the book, I said that at the age of 37, the pain of landing on a Boeing plane made his head explode. He bent down to cover his face alone, suggesting that Mr. Watanabe was alone and didn't go with Yoko. The notes of Norwegian forest played by The Beatles are also flowing alone.

From the combination of Naoko, Muyue and Watanabe to the combination of Yongze, Chumei and Watanabe, Watanabe has been playing the role of compromise and mud until the relationship between Suzuko and Naoko is intriguing. About this world, Yongze is a game world, Naoko silently accepts it, Qing Zi angrily resists it, and Watanabe is like living mud, making this world, this silent forest, stand still.

As for the pornography in this book, Murakami only wrote it in a pure way. The more realistic, the less bloody. After all, sex and love are part of life. Why should we share it so clearly, confusedly and simply, and pay tribute to youth and life?
