Read Female Apprentice Again
Regarding Osamu Dazai, his most famous book is probably "Disqualified in the World". I remembered a joke comment made by my teacher. He said that he couldn't get this book because he thought it was impossible for a man to make every woman fall in love with him. After watching Girl Apprentice, you will feel that nothing is impossible. Because Osamu Dazai understands women so well. I remember that I must have been a sophomore in college when I first watched Girl Apprentice. I didn't understand it at all at the time, and I was still wondering what the story was about. Now that I'm older and watching it, I have a very different feeling. In many novels and stories, he doesn't actually tell you anything. He just describes a picture, a scene, and a feeling to you. Among these novels, I prefer the one about Skin and Heart. It immediately reminded me of the inner tangle and nervous fragility I felt when I had acne on my face during my adolescence... My second favorite is Ye Ying and the Magic Whistle, a story that is both sad, warm and beautiful. After writing this, I discovered that the novels included in this book were all written by Osamu Dazai from a female perspective. A lot of what is written are girls' thoughts and emotions. I was particularly impressed by a plot in "The Disqualification of the World". The main idea is that when a girl is complaining or crying, if you hand her a piece of sweets and a candy, she will eat it with embarrassment and then stop complaining. (Regardless of nationality, you simply don't know much about women) So it is very reasonable for all women to fall in love with him... There is a cue from Madame Bovary. I just finished reading this book and it is still fresh in my mind. According to the social trends at that time, encouraging women to pursue their own passions should also be a "literary trend". (However, it seems to be still popular today in the era of the rise of women.) My understanding of the article about the hospitable lady is that he was generally satirizing the bad habits in Japanese society that are deeply rooted in people's hearts/or he was satirizing silly women who love to sacrifice themselves. But after so many years, Japan's old-fashioned society has not evolved this bad habit... Until the life of the despised Matsuko, Japanese society is still eating women, including at this moment. (Who has legalized their porn industry? If the GDP is not supported by eating women, the country will collapse. There is no solution to this problem, unless you make a revolution. (Is it possible?)) I write down whatever comes to my mind. My final thoughts are thanks for being born under the Chinese red flag.
I think it's okay, I can give it a try.
