I'm a Young Man and I'm Not in a Good Mood (20th Anniversary Revised Edition)
About This Novel
I am 25 years old, studying for a bachelor's degree, and I am bothered by things like time, space, and meaning. I know an incredible amount of stuff, I know a lot of names, years. Hundreds. I know who was the first to climb Mount Everest, I know who directed some of America's lamest soap operas, and I know that when air hits an airplane wing, it creates low pressure on the upper surface of the wing, which is what makes airplanes fly. I know what Aristotle meant. I know that time moves slower on the sun, and I know too much. What should I do with them? Of course I could enter the "Geppardi Just Competition" where the prize is a trip to Greece. Double. But I don't have a girlfriend. I can only go alone. But what was I going to do in Greece? There's no reason to believe I'd be happier there. If only I had a very reliable feeling that everything was going to be okay.

i am a young man
I am a young man, and I am indeed in a bad mood right now, but I also know that what I am facing now is not eternity. My future will not stop because of this, and my mood will get better, just like before today.
Young man in a bad mood
This book describes the psychology of many people. Today I can still eat enough, sleep enough, and my clothes are neat and not slovenly... Logically speaking, I should be happy, and there is no reason to be unhappy. But I'm just unhappy, I'm confused, I don't know what my dreams and ideals are, what kind of person I want to be, I don't like anything very much, I don't dislike anything very much, what is the future I'm looking forward to... I don't know any of these... Maybe it's very sad, I kill time with idle chatter every day, time slips away quietly in boredom, maybe when will I get old and become an old man without energy, okay, although I am also lifeless now, life That's how it went... Or I should be like most people, endure the bad temper of my boss at work after graduation, work my way up the ladder amid intrigues with my colleagues, then marry a well-matched guy, have a child, raise him, then grow old and die... I don't understand what it means to live like this, but I don't know what the life I want is like. It's a failure, right? In fact, I'm just a young man. I'm not in a good mood today, that's all...
I feel much better too
"I" like to observe very much. The advantage of doing this is that I can gradually relax myself. Young people are bound to have worries, just like the weather, and I guess that's good too. Life is like a journey, take a look at the scenery along the way
Passing mission. . . . . . .

That same night my brother and I played a game of croquet. This is not a game we play often. The old croquet set was rotting in the outhouse and we drove to many gas stations to get a new set. My brother paid the bill with one of his credit cards. In this way, we measured and drew lines to set up the goal and the goal posts in our parents' yard. I chose red and my brother chose yellow. I don't know if we were used to choosing colors like this since we were kids, I can't remember.
In fact, we are all living quite well, right, but we are probably just alive.
The 25-year-old Uncle Lu and the 22-year-old me turned out to be more than just a person. They didn't know how to live, they just lived.
I don't know if 25 is considered young, but I'm really in a bad mood. It takes a process to heal myself.
