About This Novel
Collecting Duras's masterpiece, Jane March and Tony Leung Ka Fai starred in the movie "The Lover" of the same name. Includes two works of Duras: "The Lover" and "The Lover of Northern China". As an autobiographical novel, "The Lover" is Duras's most famous masterpiece. It won the French Goncourt Literary Prize in 1984. The filming of the movie of the same name also deepened Chinese readers' understanding of it. The book is based on the life of French colonists in Vietnam and describes the deep and hopeless love between a poor French girl and a rich Chinese young master. "The Lover in Northern China" was rewritten by Duras after he learned the news of the death of his first love. Compared with "The Lover", this work is a more affectionate description and a more lingering narrative. It is Duras's pinnacle work.

Using the first person to describe it, it is really difficult to describe the situation after seeing what is happening now. The opening chapter is like a kind of venting in the heart, venting like this to express one's dissatisfaction.
The tone of the author's self-report is in common language, which can achieve a feeling of empathy and allow one to experience the author's feelings more directly. Perhaps this is a special empathy?
To express it in the most direct, simplest and most popular words, this itself is also mixed with emotions. It is precisely like this now that lovers look so different.
