1. "Even if a strong wind blows, never give up in life." The literal meaning is that even if a strong wind blows, never give up in life. The "gust" here is used to compare the difficulties and setbacks in life, so its implication is that even if the road of life is tortuous and you will experience various difficulties and stumbling blocks, don't give up easily and face the difficulties of life head-on.

2. This sentence comes from Hori Tatsuo's novel "The Wind Blows", which quotes the famous poem from French poet Paul Valery's "Seaside Cemetery". The Chinese translation of the original text is as follows:

When the wind blows, we have to work hard to survive!

The airflow from the horizon opened and closed my book,

The waves dared to splash from the mouth of the rock!

Fly away, dazzling pages!

Blast, wave! Use the violent waves to break this peaceful roof with white sails pecking at it.

Extended information

Tatsuo Hori studied under Ryunosuke Akutagawa. Influenced by Western European psychological literature, he is good at describing the psychology of characters, especially the sensitive and delicate inner feelings of characters facing death.

Tatsuo Hori has lived under the torture of illness and the threat of death for most of his life. This special experience gave him a deeper and unique understanding of life and destiny. The characters in his novels either live in extreme misfortune or live under the shadow of death, but what readers feel is not depression or decadence, but the unparalleled resilience contained in seemingly weak lives. ?

The center of Hori Tatsuo’s works is not so much “love and death”, but rather “love and life”. Because although most of the characters in his works are unable to control their own destiny, they have a positive will to survive after passing through the negative afterlife.

Tatsuo Hori once said that he is of vegetable nature, so most of the characters in his works also have this personality: like plants, they passively allow themselves to be arranged by the environment and fate. Just like the famous line in "The Wind Rises": "When the wind rises, you can only try to survive."

The protagonist's life is like a weed, letting the wind blow up and down, irresistible, but he still works hard to survive. . Therefore, it is not correct to say that Hori Tatsuo’s works are only about death. They are the end of existence that transcends death. This undoubtedly plays a very positive and inspiring role in how young people in today's Japanese society can survive in adversity.
