Norwegian Wood has a long reputation. Some people say it is a romantic novel, others say it is a pornographic novel, and Haruki Murakami says it is a realistic novel. After reading this book, I agree with Haruki Murakami's conclusion. The following is what I have compiled for you, "My Experience after Reading Norwegian Forest", for reference only, and you are welcome to read it. Experience after reading Norwegian Wood (1)
Norwegian Wood is the work of Haruki Murakami, a famous Japanese writer. The protagonist Watanabe unfolds his love entanglement with two girls in the first person. Watanabe's first lover, Naoko, was originally the girlfriend of his high school friend Muyue, and later Muyue committed suicide. A year later, Watanabe and Naoko met unexpectedly and started dating. At this time, Naoko has become demure and shy, and from time to time, a shadow that is difficult to capture passes through her beautiful crystal eyes. They just walk aimlessly in the streets of Tokyo where the leaves are falling day after day, either before or after or side by side. On the night of Naoko's 2th birthday, they had sex, but Naoko disappeared the next day. A few months later, Naoko wrote that she was living in a mental nursing home far away in the mountains. When Watanabe went to visit, he found that Naoko began to have the fullness and beauty of a mature woman. Although they were in the same room at night, Watanabe restrained himself and said that he would wait for Naoko forever before breaking up. Shortly after returning to school, Watanabe began to associate with the junior green child because of an accidental meeting. Yoko is the opposite of Naoko, who is introverted. "It's like a deer jumping into the world in the morning light of spring.". During this period, Watanabe was very depressed and confused. On the one hand, I can't forget Naoko's lingering illness and tenderness, on the other hand, I can't resist Naoko's bold confession and charming vitality. Soon came the bad news of Naoko's suicide, and Watanabe went hiking around without a soul. Finally, with the encouragement of Naoko's roommate, Reiko, she began to explore her future life. After reading this book, I have a profound understanding that we should respect our feelings and truly live in the present.
In Norwegian Wood, only three people know the meaning of respecting their feelings. Among them, Watanabe and Lvzi were born to know, while Lingzi only reached the other side after crossing the painful ocean. Watanabe and Lvzi are two unique bright pearls in this world. They naturally know how to respect their feelings, and will not deliberately suppress them because they feel strange, "dirty" and selfish. They are born with the power to resist the secular morality of "black and white". They don't think of themselves as weirdos, and when others think of them as weirdos, they don't think of themselves as weirdos. Only a person with a strong heart will do so.
It's just that Watanabe and Yoko have different ways to get respect for their feelings. Green child's way of respecting herself seems to be obtained from the outside world. She melts into the bustling and bustling streets and sees a wisp of white smoke, and Watanabe, who meets for the second time, will say that it is a high school janitor burning sanitary napkins for girls. When I heard Watanabe boasting about his cooking skills when I met him for the third time, I immediately recalled that I had squeezed out the money for a bra to buy a pot. In front of a large group of friends, I will tell an interesting story about my neighbor's aunt sneezing and knocking sanitary napkins off the ground. Not hiding her feelings, not restraining herself with either-or secular morality, is the way for Green Zi to reconcile with herself, the way for Green Zi to respect her feelings, and the place where she deeply attracts Watanabe. She also struggled. For example, she found a well-behaved "good guy" boyfriend at first, forbidding her to smoke and tell dirty jokes. She may have restrained herself in this way, for example, in high school, but when she found that the road was blocked, she let herself respect herself and stopped criticizing. She always feels suffocated in the real world, so she always wants to climb trees in the streets of Tokyo in the middle of the night-climb high, get rid of the polluted air and take a breath freely.
I really don't know why Watanabe can respect himself, and it's not explained in the book. Maybe he was born. He is naturally calm, worldly rules can't control him, and he can't control himself. In his place, there is neither good nor evil, neither good nor bad, neither loyal nor treacherous, and he "neither defends nor explains". He is like a boat on the sea, with neither sail nor desire to raise it, and he is only allowed to be blown anywhere by the sea breeze and waves. Wherever he is, he is himself. "I feel like I'm stuck with a film all over my body. Because of the film, I can't blend in with the outside world, and at the same time their hands can't touch my skin. I am weak, but as long as I am in this state, they are equally powerless in front of me. " Watanabe in depression can best reflect the true state of Watanabe's heart.
Only those who respect themselves will truly respect others. Therefore, Yoko said that Watanabe "maybe you have a reassuring ability.". This sentence is very charming, and anyone wants to get along with people who "make people feel at ease". Therefore, the green child can be so relaxed and so open in front of Watanabe. But because people are too far away from their hearts, they often don't know who is "reassuring", and only a few people who know their hearts can be keenly aware of it. That is, therefore, the meeting and love between Yoko and Watanabe is so valuable.
personally, I think it is reasonable for Watanabe to choose Green Son. Only Green Son is the habitat of Watanabe's inner feelings, and Green Son is the place for Watanabe to realize himself. At first, Watanabe thought that he would only be infatuated with pure and beautiful Naoko, but Watanabe finally recognized his heart and said to Yoko, "But I didn't realize deeply until I saw you-only because of you, I was able to persist until now." And after losing you, I am really lonely. " Experience after reading Norwegian Forest (2)
Norwegian Forest, most of the works written by Murakami in the translator's introduction are related to loneliness. He does not pay attention to describing loneliness and creating a lonely atmosphere, but rather to play with it and appreciate loneliness, so that readers can have a sense of loneliness about life and love in a personal way, while I myself have learned in a book.
Watanabe Jun in this article is a very tangled figure, who is the third party between Muyue and Naoko and is their good friend. Muyue and Naoko are childhood friends. Muyue committed suicide at the age of 17. Muyue's death was a great blow to Watanabe, and so was Naoko. Naoko really can't forget Muyue, but he also has a good impression on Watanabe. Two years after Muyue's death, Naoko and Watanabe met in a university in Tokyo and fell in love naturally. Then Naoko's experiences for many years on his 2th birthday finally made Naoko unbearable, and she returned to her hometown's nursing home. During this period, Mr. Watanabe met many girls, among whom Kobayashi Midoriko had the greatest influence on him. On one side, Naoko and on the other side, Mr. Watanabe was very entangled. During this period, Watanabe visited Naoko twice in the sanatorium and met Naoko's best friend Reiko in the sanatorium. In the end, Naoko ended his life on his 21st birthday. Under the impact of this news, Watanabe became world-weary, complaining that God was so unfair, and Green Son finally left Naoko because Watanabe was obsessed with Naoko. The story ends with Mr. Watanabe finally alone. His college classmate Yong Ze plays with his feelings because of his ideal, and abandons his girlfriend Chu Mei (special temperament, not beautiful, but always makes people feel warm like a spring breeze). As Yong Ze became a diplomat and went to Germany, Chu Mei married someone else (two years later, he cut his wrist and committed suicide in his bathroom). Yong Ze just said: He lost something important. Because of this, Watanabe and Yongze broke up. Yongze is very hard-hearted and stubborn.
Most of the friends who meet Watanabe in the book don't leave quietly, or commit suicide, or find their own ideals, abandon everything, or have all kinds of misfortunes. This book let me know that there can really be pure friendship between men and women. Maybe two people know each other very well, and even when the outside world thinks each other is the right person, there is less impulse to love at the moment of determining the relationship. If you can't love this kind of love, you can't talk about love. The love produced by sex is incomplete and not lasting. A man may give up his love for a promise to a woman, but a woman still dares not accept it, so that two people will spend their whole lives. Secondly, people will meet many people in their life, either passers-by, confidants or bole, but there is no guarantee that one day he or she will not leave you quietly, not in space, but also in time. But these people have a great influence on themselves, from habits to character. People always live in mutual accommodation. For life and death, death inevitably requires courage, but it takes more courage to live, and there it is: death is not the end of life, but another continuation of life. The living need to live for the dead. Everyone in the book has his own story, but they usually get along very normally, which is what I call it in modern society: mental nesting. Everyone wraps himself up with lies or something else, and will never reveal his true feelings to anyone, that is, everyone has his own story. Experience after reading Norwegian Wood (3)
A sudden earthquake shrouded Japan in darkness, and the originally bright sky suddenly turned gray, and people's faces were full of fear. Suddenly, it seemed that the world had lost its color. At this moment, this scene reminds me of a sentence in Haruki Murakami's Norwegian Forest: "Death is not the opposite of life, but lasts forever as a part of life". This sentence often lingers in my mind for a long time, which is meaningful!
I really read this book in junior high school. I am too young to understand that life is only once for everyone, so precious. At the age of 2, I just went to college and went to a boarding school like Watanabe. I dare not say that he was exactly the same as himself, but he felt the same way. Watanabe's luck is very good, except that Naoko, who is ill and living in a nursing home, is kind to him, and that lively and cheerful green child is accompanied. The happiest thing for a person is to have a confidante, who is always with him when he is happy and lonely. Watanabe is not only a confidant for them, but also a medium-a medium connected with the outside world.
people have always lamented the greatness of life, and sometimes they are too small to control their own lives. Naoko and Muyue both live on an uninhabited island. Although they both try to blend in with the outside world, they are both buried halfway because of the hardships of the process. Naoko ended his fancy years by suicide, which brought the golden years of 17 years to an abrupt end. Muyue could only live in a seemingly peaceful nursing home, and finally died like a mystery. Watanabe watched the death of his closest relatives and loved ones, but he was able to survive in the breath of death. He, an organism with tenacious vitality, is the greatest life.
Young life is always full of challenges, confusion and tortuous exploration. It's just that different people have different lifestyles and attitudes. Sometimes, in the face of death, we are full of fear that we will have nothing after death. For the dead, we are sentimental and sad, but it also reflects our nostalgia for the dead. If we just blindly grieve and forget our purpose of survival, that sorrow will only become spiritual corrosion, which will make the living lose hope and even ruin their future. Doesn't this violate the radical attitude of "the dead rest in peace and the living forge ahead" that we have always admired? Maybe the pain will make people unable to control themselves. When new hopes appear, we should not be sentimental about the past, but should face life with remembrance. From another point of view, the value of death reminds us to break through the cage of thought, to escape the fear of death, and to have the motivation to move towards happiness again. After all, as Watanabe said, no matter what philosophy, sincerity and tenderness, there is no way to dispel this sadness. The only thing we can do is to get rid of this sadness and learn some philosophy from it.
Fiction not only reflects real life, but also is a pure land where we spread hope. This novel runs through the book with the attitude towards life, the fog of youth and the pursuit of the future. Although it is sad, it does not lose its sweetness. Life is so short, it seems that we can also realize the truth from these shortness. People who are prepared to kill and kill their lives think that life is long and avoid it in various ways. People who ignore life don't know its preciousness until they lose it. In the short journey of life, savoring the beauty of life, feeling the charm of youth and cherishing everything are all manifestations of being responsible for yourself and life.
Watanabe's youth experience is a slowly sensational music, a sad love novel, and an inspirational youth novel praising life. He taught us to respect and care for life, and the ending of the story was positive, which gave our young life a hope. Experience after reading Norwegian Wood (4)
I opened the book and saw my mottled youth.
who hasn't lost his youth? Doubt the friendship of friends, ignore the affection of parents, and question the meaning of existence and the truth of the world. I don't know where the road ahead is, so I have to believe in myself and curl up tighter alone.
people live in the world, but they are confused about the future, entangled in emotions, hovering over success or failure, and detached from life and death, all of which come from one stage to another. In the present society, at the age of eighteen or nineteen, we have been exposed to everything and deeply immersed in it.
to others, we are just talking to ourselves and moaning. "How can so much pain fall on you? When you grow up, you will know that there are more cruel things in this world!" It is true that in the eyes of others, these inexplicable sadness are useless and boring. But for us, we are tired of being entangled in all kinds of confusion and entanglement. How can our pain be lighter than others?
I suffered from these things that no one told me. I walked alone on the road of growing up and met Norwegian Forest.
I saw myself in the book, and I also saw the truth that transcends time.
when I first read it, I saw a decadent life and thought in the eyes of the world. The protagonist Watanabe doesn't care about tomorrow, and is indifferent to most people. He walks at his own pace, goes to college at ordinary times, stays in the dormitory to wash and dry clothes at weekends, and goes to work at night, and so on. It doesn't matter whether this kind of life is good or not, and no one is qualified to point fingers at other people's lives. It's just that I think it's really valuable to be able to maintain my own personality and belief without being influenced by the surrounding environment and secular ideas. This gives me a deep feeling.
I also saw the bitter love-hate entanglement. Watanabe's feelings are entangled in the past and reality. On behalf of Naoko in the past, Watanabe's feelings for her are very complicated, including not only the longing that existed when she was a child, but also the sense of responsibility that comes from consciously thinking that she was entrusted by her friends, etc. The proportion of truly called love is not high. After Naoko was hospitalized, Watanabe met the green child who represents reality. Unlike Naoko, the green child is full of vitality and enthusiasm for life, and is a role that everyone loves. Watanabe is also deeply fascinated by her and is embarrassed. He can't choose from the two people who show love, which shows his indecision.
when I read again, I saw myself. Similar to Watanabe, I am interested in life.
