"Becoming a human being or a monster all has to do with love." The story unfolds from the perspective of a boy who has a damaged amygdala in his brain and is unable to perceive emotions and emotions, nor to understand the behavior of others. The story develops over time, as the boy grows up and a series of things happen. The most touching and impressive thing for me, and the event that changed the protagonist, was when Yunzai met another boy who seemed to be a problem boy, but was soft and kind-hearted. They help each other and save each other, which is touching. On the other hand, teenagers in adolescence always have various psychological problems, which we should pay attention to. The most critical element of the story is love, the love of family and the love of friends. Love is the most powerful magic. When I read the epilogue and the author's words, the author repeatedly mentioned spring, which also hit me, "the twentieth spring" and "the fourth spring". It wasn't until the end that I realized that this was a story conceived by the author rather than a real event. Maybe the story is too real and fascinating, because the amygdala is a distant and unknown field for me. I saw a recommendation from a blogger that I liked, and I planned to watch it. Although it took me several months to finish it (I later picked it up again without watching it again, and the content may be a little inconsistent in retrospect), some plots are very touching, and there are some topics worth pondering. In short, I wish we always have the ability to love and be loved, do our best not to be indifferent bystanders, and always see spring.

Losing Laughter This book is written with exquisite writing and expresses humor. The author can always be serious and funny. A popular sentence recently is "I told the pain as a joke until someone cried and said that it was not funny at all." After hearing what "I" experienced, I actually felt more distressed. Maybe not having feelings is not all bad for him. In the follow-up, the protagonist is redeemed in his interactions with people, and his feelings are getting richer and richer. I am happy for him!

Watching Yunzai, the little monster, gradually regain his emotions and become a real human being, I was really moved. It was also touching to watch Kun go from blindly advocating for strength, through being stabbed by Yoon Jae, to learning to cherish the people around him. Yunzai and Kun are two-way redemption. Kun rescued Yunzai who didn't understand emotions. He forced himself to break the butterfly's wings and told Yunzai to feel emotions, and went to Yunzai to get close to him again and again. Yunzai is willing to accompany Kun, who is not understood by everyone. In the end, he can even do anything for Kun. Willing to be stabbed by Brother Tieshi. Still waking up Kun, telling him to apologize for everything he has hurt. Kun, actually envies Yunzai. On the one hand, I envy him for his strength, his lack of fear, and his ability to never show timidity under any circumstances. On the one hand, even if Yunzai lacks emotions, there are people around him who understand him and speak for him, whether it is Douluo, Dr. Shen, or his father, a professor. As for Kun, except Yun-jae, he understands his kindness. Everyone is afraid of him. Even his father hates him. In the theft incident, it was directly implied that Kun did it and repaid the money. He never asked Kun. And Yunzai just told the truth. On the surface, he was the most likely person to do this. Lian Kun himself was shaken. Indeed, he was the most likely person to do this. So there is no excuse. Then Kun disappeared. If no one can understand him, then follow the conclusion of the world in his eyes: to be the most powerful person, it is better to be the person who brings pain to others than to be the one who brings pain to others. Fortunately, Yoon Jae woke him up. In that dilapidated basement with dust flying under the sun, a knife stabbed into the heart. The blood on Yunzai's chest was gurgling in his arms, and tears fell on Yunzai's face: Promise me to apologize for everything you have hurt. At this time, these tears also dropped into Yunzai's heart. It made him feel the emotion that he had been absent from for so many years. Become a real person. All this seems to form a closed loop. A long time ago, it was Kun who used butterflies in a used bookstore to teach Yunzai that you should understand what pity is, what pain is, and understand emotions. Likewise this time Kun's tears also aroused Yun-jae's emotions. Now it is Yunzai who uses the knife, blood and the love I am willing to give everything for you in the abandoned basement to teach Kun: to cherish everything around him. Stop being the person who only hurts others. I believe that after these things. They are all growing in a good direction. There will be another spring in life. Their own "In the Mood for Love".

There is a sentence in the recent hit "Deep Sea" that impressed me deeply: "I hope every time you laugh is sincere." But the boy in the book can't laugh, he can't feel happiness, and he doesn't know the feeling of pain. I saw my grandmother die in front of my eyes on Christmas Eve, but I felt nothing. Ordinary people like us would be extremely sad and become a lifelong shadow. At first I didn't understand him, and thought this kind of person was cold and heartless, but then I began to accept him and even sympathized with him, because I knew that he had lost the most beautiful ability to feel joy, anger, sorrow, and joy due to physical reasons. Although sadness is very sad, he didn't understand it, and I didn't feel that it was that good, because the opposite of sadness is joy.

Life is probably like this, there is no absolute distinction between black and white. We live in the present and do not have the courage and confidence to change ourselves, and because we do not have the confidence to heal others, sometimes it is difficult to take even a small step. I also hope that someone can understand those "monsters" in the eyes of others and heal their world. 2022.3.31

Yunzai gained all kinds of emotions when he didn't feel emotions, and Kun had emotional perception but no emotion to accompany him. These two were tragic at first, just like playing the piano to a cow, but fate brought the two together, and they met. Two completely different lives collided with each other. Don't you have a mother and grandmother? Don't you know the best about love? This is the most impressive part of the whole article, and it is also theirs. The most different thing about life... The story does not end, life continues. I have read a total of three books written by Korean female writers, and I read all three books in one sitting. I admire their writing style so much that it is so fascinating, and the stories are not cliché and show ordinary life. There is no slang. You can understand and think about every paragraph of the article, and talk about the characters in their works. Highly recommend!

——If the misfortune happens far away, people will ignore it because it is far away and out of their power; but if it happens close by, people will say they are too scared and no one is willing to stand up. Most people will not act even if they feel the pain of others. They say they have empathy, but in fact they easily forget it. ——Humans cannot tolerate things that are different from themselves. ——People always forget how loud they are when gossiping about others. Even if the speaker is very quiet, most of the words will still enter the ears of others word for word. ——Books can immediately take me to places I can't go, let me hear the confessions of people I can't meet, and see the lives of people I can't observe. Emotions that I cannot feel and things that I have never encountered are all secretly included. This is fundamentally different from TV and movies. The worlds in movies, TV series, and comics are all too concrete and there is no room for me to participate. Books are different. Because there is a lot of space in the book, there are many gaps between each word and sentence. I can sit or walk there and even write down my thoughts. It doesn't matter if you don't understand the meaning, as long as you open a random page, half the battle will be won. ——Most of the time, silence is enough. If you are silent when you should be angry, you are patient. If you are silent when you should laugh, you are cautious. If you are silent when you should cry, you are strong. Silence is golden. But "thank you" and "sorry" need to be habitually spoken, because these two are magic words that can solve many complex situations. ——If a person is too silent like a calm lake, he will be labeled as a strange child, so this kind of thing should be done "occasionally". ——There are no human beings who cannot be saved, there are only human beings who give up on saving. ——Time will not avoid anyone, and you will encounter all kinds of strange things while you are alive. ——One phenomenon caused by a small amygdala is the lack of fear. Although some people think this is brave and happy, fear is an instinctive defense mechanism to maintain life. I don't know that being afraid does not mean being brave, but it means that if a car rushes straight at you, you will just stand there stupidly. ——My head will become like this. The answer is actually obvious, it's just bad luck. Destiny has created an unexpected number of arrogant and unreasonable things in this world.

This book gave me a clearer understanding of mental patients among human beings. People who lack love the most give the most love. This is also my personal experience. It is worth reading carefully word for word and a baptism of the soul.

This is a book that can make people think about the meaning of life. Good and bad are all different, and there is no absolute conclusion. But I still believe that the heart can control that almond.

This book is quite short and easy to read. But the story is not strong, and inner monologues predominate. The writing fits the protagonist's character very well, and it seems a bit bland and tasteless. But it reflects a social situation. Modern people have become more indifferent and selfish. Even if they have rich emotions, they may not necessarily show a more sound helping plot than the protagonist with an underdeveloped brain. This book has a negative start and then a positive one. It has a miserable beginning, but the ending allows people to see the light of day. It makes readers feel hope in the helplessness, which is good. Another thing I can't understand is that although the protagonist lacks emotional changes, he can feel things, such as pain. In this case, after being bullied and beaten many times, you will feel pain and remember it, so why not avoid it in the future. Because you are not afraid? If you are not afraid, you are not afraid. This is emotion, but pain is perception. How can you not be afraid of pain, unless you are enduring pain?

The charm of this book is that it does not have too many profound and gorgeous embellishments. You may not be caught by it at once, but the simple words can make you feel an elegant impact that radiates from the inside out, which is both plain and unforgettable.

Perhaps because I read this book intermittently, I am not very impressed with the plot of the book, but I can still recall that the hero celebrated his birthday happily with his mother and grandma, but he experienced something more terrifying than ever. Grandma passed away from this world, and my mother became a vegetative state. As an alexithymia patient, I can't even understand the mood at this moment. Fortunately, the world is warm after all, and I have Uncle Shen who has always helped me, especially when I later met that "monster" who was obviously timid and kind but wanted to become powerful. I also met people who made me have more other emotions...

The narrative tone is very plain. You can imagine a half-year-old child speaking the words in the book in a calm tone. I like this style very much and resonate with the book. I have already planned to buy a physical book.

Yunzai is surrounded by the love of his mother and grandmother, but cannot feel it; Kun longs for trust, attention and love, but cannot get it. As Yunzai and Kun approached each other, both of them slowly felt the love given to them in the world. Doluo's sunshine, confidence and determination brought the warmest light to Yunzai. Mom must also have felt the change in Yunzai. Yunzai's love for him has awakened and she is happy [laughs]. I hope I can be braver and give more help to others when they need it.

There can be many interpretations of this book. It can be said that this is a story about a child who cannot understand other people's feelings or express them. He learns to express love in a clumsy but sincere way. As he continues to grow, he finally finds a way to feel the world and gain emotions. It can also be said that this is a story of two "problem teenagers" redeeming each other. He is what others call a weird kid. When others hurt him physically and verbally, he remains unmoved and his emotions are frighteningly stable. The description of his emotions in the article is so calm and indifferent, as if everything has nothing to do with him. But he is also a cute little monster in grandma's hand, and grandma and mother give him a lot of love. However, even in the face of such tenderness, he felt nothing. I thought he was a person who was indifferent to everything. All the emotions from the outside world would not affect him. He stood on the edge of the world and watched everything that happened as a bystander. But when I saw it later, I was wrong. Although he could not empathize, he cherished every tiny life. He has no prejudice against people and can feel the essence of people with his heart, just like he can see Kun's kindness. The way he expresses his love is not through words, but through direct actions. Just like he said that he missed his mother very much, and he took care of her every day, rain or shine. He said he would do anything for Kun, even if it might cost his life, and that's what he did. Yunzai is really a very kind, gentle, and very good person from the bottom of his heart. In addition, this book creates vivid individuals one after another. They have unique personalities, and each of them has inner conflicts, which is more real. However, from this book, we can see many social problems. For "problem children" like Yunzai and Kun, parents' attitudes towards their children are completely different. Yunzai's mother and grandmother chose to accept the reality that he was born different, gave him care and love, and taught him to deal with society and protect himself. At the beginning, Professor Yun could not accept that Kun did not grow up to be what he expected, but was a rebellious "bad boy" who tried to prove his strength in a childish way. However, after experiencing inner conflicts and painful struggles and suffering, Professor Yun chose to accept and love his child. This book also explores the issue of human indifference. When Yunzai's grandmother and mother were killed, no one came to help. Everyone ignored it, and then used various excuses to defend themselves, "hiding their ears and stealing the bell" to protect their hearts from moral condemnation.

The subject matter is very good. After a teenager with an emotional disorder experienced a dramatic change in his family, he finally met friends and love in adolescence that changed his life. Even though the story is a bland read, there is nothing touching about it. The murder on Christmas Eve also seemed like a gimmick, and the part between Kun and Brother Tieshi was full of middle-class atmosphere.

Since I was born, I have been unable to feel fear, joy, anger, sorrow, joy, and love. After meeting Kun, who had never received love or companionship, Kun gave me hope for contact with the world. After understanding the meaning of friends, I made up my mind to find Kun back. The moment I was about to be beaten to death, I felt emotions. I'm lucky to have Kun, but I'm also lucky to have Kun. By keeping each other company, the future doesn't seem so bad. Although I think the probability of being stabbed in the heart and still surviving in reality is low, in the fictional novel everything still develops for the best. It's a great short story.

I found it very touching when I saw the back part. The monster with no emotions had emotions at that moment because he faced his own death. He hugged his mother who had just woken up and shed tears. Kun was a very kind child and a poor child. His mother could not see him until she died. (Also, I also want to try some plum candy, hahahaha)

I love it so much. A stone lies across my mind, and then the urge to cry even though I can't cry anymore. Is it similar to the sky Yunzai saw when he fell? The meaning of "love" that I couldn't find in those years was soaked and blossomed in the emotional concentration again and again. They are both good kids, and redemption is shallow. They blossom in each other's own fields. What is "growth"? What is "love" again? What is the scream and the right answer? The boy walked forward on the road full of thorns, and finally saw the rising sun.

The language is very gentle, but it shows the author's strong feelings. For a person who cannot express or feel feelings, it is hard to imagine that after experiencing the death of his relatives, he still wants to work hard to live a normal life and gain true friendship.

"I don't know if this conclusion is very common, but I think whether people become normal people or monsters is related to love." This is a book about love. I really want to know what happened to Kun later. Kun's story made me feel distressed, especially when Yun Zai saved Kun at the end, my heart was even tied to it. There were also tears when Yoonjae saw his mother at the end, and my eyes were moist as I held the phone. The author's writing is very good, and the story tells about seven main characters. But he wrote about disgust, abandonment, acceptance, distress, youth and love. I hope that the friendship between Yunzai and Kun can continue forever, and that the world can always have warm things and kind people!

The plot of this book is very attractive. Although the little boy in the story has "alexithymia", he is not emotionless. He will be sad about the death of his grandmother, and he will also be happy when he meets another "monster". I think he is very cute and very heartwarming. This book allowed me to see the complexity of human nature, and also made me understand that everyone has their own uniqueness.

This is a very strange reading, which allowed me to see a very special kind of person. He lacks emotions and everyone is afraid to avoid him, but there are still people who treat him wholeheartedly, which makes him finally return. We despise the shortcomings of others, but never want to save them. We think it is impossible, but in fact there is no redemption that is impossible.

In a subjective state, due to alexithymia, the protagonist looks at everything around him indifferently and objectively. It is his own life, but he looks on coldly like a third party. In the end, Xingren grows up, family, love and friendship come one after another, bringing tears to his eyes~

South Korea's "Almond" tells the story of Sun Yoon-jae, a boy with "alexithymia" who teaches us how to love with his clumsy efforts and sincerity. In the book, the family lines between grandma and mother and Yunzai, the friendship line between Kun and Yunzai, and the love line between Du Luo and Yunzai all tell you that I want to be my true self like Yunzai, choose everything that is real, live full of hope, and bravely collide with life. Finally become a spiritually rich and happy person.

This book is really great Human life has various aspects and problems. I'm very happy that it has a happy ending in the end. Life is like a dice, with particular emphasis on uncertainty and labeling. The sense of substitution is really strong. The article is very short and worth reading carefully. It has a movie-like texture. School violence is really terrible. The words "save friends" in the end are really precious. The three words are particularly sincere. It has a childish tone but is as firm as an adult.

People are the product of education and the environment. When we conceive our desires on a piece of white paper, I hope we can inadvertently question ourselves, so what if we really can't get something? Take your eraser and erase it. Don't feel sorry, just accept it. Relief is like the "I" in the article.

After reading the book, I feel like I am someone like Yunzai. I am not afraid of snakes that everyone my age is afraid of. I don't know how to be afraid even if a dog bites me. When my sister fell into the reservoir and drowned, I was not sad at the age of fourteen. It was like it had nothing to do with me. I didn't know how to accompany my mother until she was crying. There was very little crying. My father chased me and beat me. He didn't seem to feel any pain, but he was so scared that I cried. If I didn't cry, I would be beaten harder. Are the so-called fools in society also such people? When someone slaps me on the ear, I don't know the pain, and I don't know why they hit me. Even now my brain is not very flexible and I cannot think long-term. During the time when Yunzai's grandmother passed away and her mother was in a coma, when she faced problems, she would carefully say "I'll think about it" instead of making a decision based on my own opinion. What would my mother want me to do? Ask grandma what to do? There will be grandma's words in my mind. If there is no harm, just help me. Connecting with elders is the best way to make decisions.

I have never thought about how a person would live without emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. I feel like a machine, living numbly without emotion. Without color, it seems to have no meaning. But if I think about it carefully, it seems not bad. I will not be emotionally hurt. I don't have to consider other people's feelings. I don't have to think too much and live a tiring life. I don't have to be affected by negative emotions. It seems that I can live more freely. However, no one will live like an island and always have to get along with others. Such people will be regarded as "monsters" by regular people. People who are different always seem to be talked about, bullied and isolated. Yunzai and Kun are examples. Yunzai has no ability to express emotions and perceive the emotions of others, and is a "weird". Kun has become a bad boy who solves problems with his hands due to his difficult childhood experience, and is also regarded as a "monster" by his classmates. In the book, I regard Yunzai as a "rational" being. He grew up in the love of his mother and grandmother, but because of the lack of the amygdala, he cannot feel it. Many things cannot be solved through emotion, while Kun is more synonymous with "emotional". He has the ability to perceive emotions but does not live in an environment of love. He is sensitive and fragile. When he encounters a problem, he will not consider the consequences. He only knows that others make him uncomfortable, so he solves it with his fists. Later, they healed each other, and Yunzai slowly gained the ability to perceive emotions, which was very touching.

It is a true mutual redemption! What a blessing! I love this sentence very much: "There are no human beings who cannot be redeemed, there are only human beings who give up redemption." Life has twists and turns, and fate also creates all kinds of outrageous and unreasonable things in the world, but whether the ending is a tragedy or a comedy, you and I don't know. I'm thinking of buying a paper book and I love it! ! !
