About This Novel

"Life and death are equivalent in a sense." Over 20,000 people rated this work on Douban with an 8-point reputation. It is a gloomy panorama of Japan in the mid-1990s, and the earthquake became a clarion call to wake them up! Following "Underground", Haruki Murakami is another masterpiece that has crossed a milestone, witnessing Haruki Murakami's transition from a personal writer to a socially responsible public intellectual. This is a masterpiece that skillfully combines Murakami Haruki's unique light fairy tale style, literary taste and shocking fantasy. "Children of God All Dance" is a collection of short stories published by Haruki Murakami in 2000. It includes six short stories: "UFO Lands in Kushiro", "Landscape with an Flatiron", "Children of God All Dance", "Trip to Thailand", "Frog Saves Tokyo" and "Honey Pie". The novels are all based on the 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake as the background, describing the huge impact of the earthquake on people's spiritual and psychological levels. Under the preset writing framework, Murakami embarked on a series of experimental "challenges": the whole book is written in the third person. The protagonists of the novel did not directly experience the Hanshin Earthquake, but were indirectly connected to the earthquake in different ways. The shaking of the earth caused cracks in people's hearts. Faced with a life that was suddenly disrupted by disasters, people had to face the innate emptiness and nothingness that had been dormant in their hearts for many years... This book reflects the author's deep thinking on life. Different from the previous "deformed characters", the characters in the book are full of realism. It is considered to be Haruki Murakami's transition from an individual writer to an intellectual with a sense of social responsibility.
