I like to read Murakami-kun's essays more than his novels. The real and friendly writing style makes you feel like a friend is chatting with you about life and feelings...

Listen to the opera Compared with eating steak, everything is as gentle as jade. After experiencing the difficulties and various dissatisfactions in life, the beauty of life lies in these little feelings... There are too many tensions, fears and insecurities in life. , I often feel overwhelmed. Drink a cup of tea and read these random articles. I feel that the world will still guide us to a way. We should calm down our emotions and move forward calmly and happily.

This book was written by Murakami in the 1980s, probably when he was in his 30s. Now it reads without any sense of violation of the times, perhaps because of music, food, human nature, etc. These have epoch-making penetrating power. Some are classics that transcend time and space, such as music; while some continue to be reincarnated in time and space, such as human nature.

From Murakami-kun's essays, you can feel his favorite music, food and attitude towards life, and he meets readers with a sincere attitude. This is one of the places that touched me very much after reading it. For example, the chapter "Haruki Murakami's Cool and Wild Daydreams" is very interesting to read. The first sentence of the opening page is "My dream is to have twin girlfriends. That is to say, twin girls are both equivalent to my girlfriend - this is a dream I have had for ten years." He also said that what he pursues in twins is to rule out the realistic assumption of one-on-one male and female - That is, the metaphysical category; suddenly changing the topic, the author said from a realistic point of view that dating twins is by no means an easy job. First of all, the expenses are high, and all costs are twice that of ordinary dates; and, sitting in a car Or playing with a spaceship in an amusement park, only two twin sisters can sit side by side, and he will look boring, and, and so on; Mr. Murakami also laughed at himself, depending on his personality, it is impossible to experience it in reality. , but despite this, he still likes the state of twins, likes himself in the hypothetical situation of living with twins day and night, likes the secret divisiveness in them, and likes the dizzying multiplication of the two, but for him, It will always be a dream, and a note at the end, his marriage had lasted for fifteen years at that time.

It seems that when we face a person, we often imagine that if there is another him, it would be great if he has the personality we expect; in Zhang Ailing's "Red Roses and White Roses" there is Such a classic saying - Maybe every man has had two women like this, at least two. Marry a red rose, and over time, the red one will become a smear of mosquito blood on the wall, while the white one will remain "the bright moonlight in front of the bed"; marry a white rose, and the white one will become a grain of rice sticky on the clothes, but the red one will become A cinnabar mole on the heart. After all, it is difficult for the person we face to be completely satisfied with him or her. Life is like this, entangled all the way and solved all the way...

Murakami-kun's essays often speak openly and eloquently, Inadvertently eliciting attitudes towards life. For example, in the chapter "Don't Fall in Love", an argument is introduced - "That's it" and "So what" are two sentences that are important in life (especially after middle age). ) two key words. From an experience point of view, as long as you firmly embed this sentence in your head, you can generally cope with almost all life transitions.

Having experienced the hard work of society for many years, I was very touched when I read this. We often feel that big things have happened, or obstacles that are insurmountable, and we compare them in a longer time or space. You will feel even more insignificant, and your little things are nothing. Sometimes impulsiveness and impatience can occur in a single thought. For example, when you have just finished writing a manuscript, your computer suddenly loses power and the file is lost. When you have annoying and depressing thoughts, tell yourself that such accidents are also very common, " That's all." My mood slowly relaxed, relaxed and calmed down. I remember that when I was learning to drive many years ago, I was scolded by the driving school master and I lost all my self-confidence for a while. Looking back, I thought, "So what?" Maybe it was just that I started slowly and was not familiar with it. Years later, I am now a driver. Rules, experienced drivers. There are always problems in life. Instead of complaining, it is better to silently recite these two mantras in your heart: "That's it" and "So what".

I feel that Murakami-kun’s works should not be labeled as petty writing; his writing style is sincere, and through his works, you can feel his deep understanding of life and life. I am currently reading Murakami’s Jun's other collection of essays "Professional Novelist" feels the same way. Maybe introverts also rely on writing to fall in love with themselves...
