"Norwegian Wood" is the first novel written by Haruki Murakami. It is a touching, gentle and elegant, slightly sentimental love novel.
The background of the story of "ノルウェーの Forest" is Japan in the 1960s. At that time, Japan had entered a highly developed capitalist society, and the rapid economic development led to a crisis in people's spiritual world. The abundance of material life and the expansion of human desires have caused serious imbalance in people's spiritual world. The reduction and obstacles in communication between people lead to the widening of psychological distance. People living in the city are as lonely, empty, and lost as duckweeds, but they are unable to face the pressure of the outside world.
Classic confession:
1. Everyone has his own forest, maybe we have never Been there, but it has always been there and will always be there. Those who are lost are lost, and those who meet will meet again.
2. In this world, I want nothing but you.
3. I hope you can remember me, remember that I lived like this, and stayed by your side like this.
4. It is really wonderful that people can love each other so deeply.
5. There are people who like loneliness, but they just don’t like disappointment.
6. The advantage of being young is that you can be forgivably frank, bold, and unscrupulous about what you love, want, hate, and do in your heart. Hate is expressed in the mouth without any modification.
7. Because I love you, I often want to apologize to you.
8. In fact, she is a very gentle girl, but at that time I took that gentleness for granted and did not cherish it at all.
9. My love is heavy and dirty, and contains many unpleasant things, such as sadness, sorrow, self-pity, and despair. My heart is so fragile, and I am always affected by these negative emotions. Defeat is like struggling in a swamp and sinking deeper and deeper.
10. And I love you, I just want to drag you in, but I hope you save me.
"I like you the most, Midoriko."
"To what extent?"
"Like a bear who likes spring."
"A bear in spring?" Midoriko raised her face again, "What kind of bear in spring?"
"Spring wilderness Here, you are walking alone, and a cute little bear comes from the opposite side. Its fur looks like velvet and its eyes are round. It says to you: "Hello, miss, would you like to roll around with me?" Then, you and the little bear hugged each other and rolled down the clover-covered hillside, playing for a whole day.Are you saying it's great?"
"It's great. ”
“I like you so much. ”
