Grass on the roadside: When life becomes as barren as weeds, do you still have the courage to move on?

"The moonlight is really beautiful tonight."

Mr Natsume once translated the English word "I love you" into "The moonlight is really beautiful tonight."

Different from the direct wildness of Europeans and Americans who directly express their feelings, Mr. Natsume Sasaki is so subtle, euphemistic and romantic.

We all seem to imagine that it was a bright and warm night, and a bright moon was lying lazily on the gentle black curtain, with a hazy and slightly divergent halo, white and charming. You look at the moon hanging far away, and then turn to the lovely people around you, and your tenderness is beyond words.

She asked: What's the matter?

You shook your head slightly and just said with emotion: The moonlight is really beautiful tonight. Then, you two smiled at each other.

Today, I would like to recommend Natsume Sasaki's book Grass by the Road.

Natsume, as soon as I heard this name, in fact, my first reaction was Natsume's friend account.

I think Mr Natsume, like his friend Li Shimin, should be a very gentle and honest person. Not surprisingly, the stories he described are all very gentle stories, such as the gurgling water, the afternoon sunshine and the trees in the street, all of which are very common trifles, but they are very memorable.

Natsume is the youngest son in the family. His parents didn't want to and didn't expect him to be born because of his poor family. So he put the young Natsume Soseki at a relative's house. At the age of 2, he became the adopted son of a relative. Later, due to the disagreement between the adoptive parents, the adoptive father moved, and he returned to live with his biological parents at the age of 10. At this time, his relationship with his father and brother was not very close.

The Grass on the Roadside recommended for you today tells a story based on the experience of Mr. Natsume Zongqi.

I think Grass by the Road is not so much a novel as a prose or prose novel.

Different from novels with ups and downs, strong personality and vivid images, everything in Grass by the Road is faint and quiet, which will neither make you feel the enthusiasm of the author to attract readers, nor let you feel the coldness of the author lurking behind the characters, and everything is so gentle. In ordinary life, it is almost commonplace to talk about trifles in a gentle tone. When reading, I feel that I am drinking cold boiled water, which has no taste, but it is the healthiest, the most thirst-quenching and the most heartfelt.

Kenzo, the protagonist, is a middle-aged man of 35 or 6 years old. He studied in England and has a self-reliance, withdrawn and stubborn temper that all cultural people have.

After coming back from England, one day on my way to work, I met a man who hated his guts but couldn't get rid of it-Teru Shimada.

Teru Shimada was the adoptive father who raised him more than 0/0 years ago, but later he returned Kenzo to his biological parents for his family reasons.

Teru Shimada's past foster care period is a shadow of Kenzo, which is inevitable but extremely dark.

Adoptive parents often have no children, so they are very kind to Kenzo, but they are afraid that Kenzo will always emphasize his kindness to Kenzo when thinking about his biological parents. They want to use this to ask Kenzo for some benefits in the future. Later, due to the derailment and divorce from Chang, Kenzo had to return to his biological parents' home, but at this time Kenzo's account was still written in his name. So, the old and poor Kenzo came to Kenzo again and again for money.

While describing this incident, Mr. Natsume Soseki mixed many other family chores, such as quarreling with his wife because of different views on three things; My sister Azhu was seriously ill, but my brother-in-law Bi Tian turned a blind eye. Down-and-out father-in-law, seriously ill brothers and sisters all expect Kenzo to support themselves and ask him for money.

These things are like vines covered with thorns. They are wrapped around Teru Shimada for money. This incident has become a nettle covered with thorns and bound Kenzo.

Kenzo, who values his ideals more than money, has to run around and worry about his livelihood. Whenever someone reaches out, he always takes out his silver tickets because of his face.

"The problems that can really be solved in the world are almost non-existent. Every time something happens, it will continue, but it will be transformed into various forms, which will make you confused with others. "

This is written evidence that Kenzo finally got his account back from Teru Shimada. His wife said happily that what Kenzo said when the matter was finally settled was also the last sentence of the book.

North Island's one-word poem "Life" wrote: Net. This word profoundly explains the essence of life.

Whether it's Kenzo in the book or us in reality, we always feel inexplicable powerlessness in life. This powerlessness may be due to our livelihood, our dreams, or some trivial things like chicken skin. These things always appear again and again after we solve them again and again, just like the above saying, "There are almost no problems in the world that can really be solved."

These problems are like the net that Mr. Kitajima said, like the roadside grass that Mr. Natsume said, one is firmly surrounded by you, and the other is barren and tenacious in the cracks of your life.

Kenzo, the hero of the book, is still brave in the face of a bleak life like grass on the roadside. After all, whether you like it or not, life always goes on.

In fact, after reading this book, I think of some embarrassing and unhappy things in my family. But on second thought, these things will always calm down inexplicably, let us catch our breath and then happen again. This situation has been going on, but it is not the same. I think this is life, and we always have to look forward.
