Do all the children of God dance? Translator: Lin Publishing House: Shanghai Translation Publishing House; Pricing: ¥ 13. 5 yuan

Dance of the Son of God is a series of novels published in February 2000, with six short stories. All six short stories were written one month after the Kobe earthquake in February 1995, but the events, places and people are independent articles and have little to do with the earthquake itself. However, through reading, we can easily see the consistent theme, that is: how can a deeply injured heart regain its vitality? There is only one answer: warmth and love. Irreplaceable warmth and love can regenerate that battered and bleeding heart.

In A Journey to Thailand, I hated a man for twenty years. Because of the kindness of the tour guide and taxi driver, I wanted to tell him a secret that I didn't tell anyone. In Honey Cake, the protagonist is determined to marry a divorced woman in order to protect the little girl who was scared by the earthquake scene on TV. In Frogs Save Tokyo, a bank employee who has never been taken seriously is willing to fight to the death to save everyone. Each article reveals the warmth and love that the author has always cherished. The difference is that the author sublimates it here as the only way for the soul to be reborn. His creative technique has also maintained the previous characteristics, and the abrupt and bizarre plot still gives Murakami a free and natural arrangement.
