About This Novel
The 37-year-old "I" Chujun owns two prosperous bars in downtown Tokyo, as well as a beautiful wife and two lovely daughters. He can be called a successful person with a successful family and career, but he always feels empty inside. Hatsumi's past consists of his emotional entanglement with three women, Shimamoto, Izumi, and Izumi's cousin. It seems that the shortcomings in his heart can only be made up for by his girlfriend Shimamoto, whom he met in elementary school and had a vague relationship with. 25 Years later, Shimamoto suddenly appeared, and the two rekindled their love. However, Shimamoto was unwilling to reveal his experience and current identity. He only hoped that Hatsumi would not ask anything and just accept herself as she was, and just treat her as the girl who loved classical music in elementary school. Hatsumi accepted these harsh conditions and accompanied Shimamoto to the Tokyo River to scatter the baby's ashes. The two spent an unforgettable night at the Hakone villa. The next day, she disappeared without a trace.

Moreover, Haruki Murakami's Animal Husbandry also talks about Haruki Murakami. The color of his literature gives me the feeling that he is not as complicated as the average Internet article, which is equivalent to chewing other people's steamed buns without taste, but there is also some sweetness, and more of his words are not as serious as those classic literature, and are highly exploratory, that is, the inheritance and inheritance of his Japanese culture are not very obvious, and Haruki Murakami's literary works have two characteristics. First, his works are articles written first in English and then translated into Japanese, so they have a watery aura. Second, his articles are not the kind of original Japanese history and culture that you inherit. For example, there must be some differences between it and the literature described by Mo Yan. And then, more of it is the kind of description. Well, it seems to me that Haruki Murakami is the one in the car, right? The prologue means that Lin Shaohua means that our well-known domestic translator's description of Haruki Murakami, um, even if his life is relatively ordinary. For example, if modern education is widely accepted in countries around the world, they all have the same life trajectory, and then they have different criteria for choosing a career. For example, Haruki Murakami said that after graduating from college, I don't know what he went through in his childhood. Anyway, after finishing school, he almost opened a bar after finishing school. The bar was very profitable, but he went to work as a professional writer. At that time, many people advised him not to do that. Don't engage in those that are too risky, because as a writer, you know, generally speaking, it is difficult for a person to become famous in thousands of years, right? If you can say it, it makes me feel, um, quite courageous, just like Balzac. When he wanted to be a writer, his mother also criticized him and the whole family also criticized him. Of course, his mistake in success was squandering, right? Many of his novels were forced to write while being debt collectors. So,
