If the dream ten years ago has not been extinguished, let it burn forever! The work of Ishida Irao, author of the "Ikebukuro West Exit Park" series that has been best-selling for 20 years across Japan and winner of the Naoki Prize. An incredibly tender and powerful novel.
Dreams become sacred once they are acted upon.
Novelist Qingtian Gengping lives with his son Xiaochi. Gengping has been unknown for ten years since his debut, and his works have never been reprinted. On the other hand, Gengping's wife died in an incredible traffic accident three years ago. "Is that really an accident?" Deeply troubled him. Despite this, he continued to write and hold on to his dream.
Dark and desperate times are when you are close to your dreams.
You just have to stand up one more time.
Reader comments
I prefer the warm and healing type, the ordinary but extraordinary life of ordinary people. Perhaps everyone's emotions are easily influenced by the outside world, they will face embarrassing situations and choices, they will find it difficult to swallow the pain of life, and they may not even know how to move forward. But life and time will push us forward. We can only face it and then conquer it. Life may be a symbiosis of flowers and thorns, but the meaning is different for individuals. Thanks to "The Lonely Novelist".

Success does not happen overnight. What it requires is the accumulation of time and continuous accumulation. This book is not a textbook on success, but it gives me the feeling that people who work hard in life will not be far behind in the end.
Reality, daily life, and mental journey, an ordinary but extraordinary, lonely but not lonely novelist experiences the tortuous and desolate life in the intertwining of fragmentation and happiness! (I haven't seen the ending yet~)
A middle-aged novelist who lost his wife finally made peace with his past and suffering and finally achieved success. To reconcile with the past and to reconcile with suffering is actually to reconcile with yourself. Only by letting go of the old can you pick up the new.
There were several points in this book that made me cry, especially the ending, as it says in the book: Everyone has times when they are confused, lonely, sad, and depressed, but eventually the clouds will clear and the mist will clear.
I procrastinated for a long time to finish reading it, about the responsibilities of a middle-aged man, his family, his powerlessness in the face of his own talents, and his inability to extricate himself from missing his wife. Ordinary life does not have any heroic dreams, it is just a difficult journey through the world of mortals. There is a lot of warmth and temptation, self-ashamed of incompetence and jealousy of others, and a life of anxiety. Emotions are abundant.
This is the second time I watched it.
How many years ago was it when you first watched it? I can barely remember it anymore. The title novelist also comes from this book.
What made me think this was possible was probably this book.
The characters in the book are very detailed.
Real life and real emotions resonate. Like this book very much.
The language is simple and real, and it is very immersive to read. Geng Ping's deeds inspire people to work hard towards success. Under the heavy blows of slow-selling books, no creative inspiration, poverty and the death of his wife, Gengping could hardly hold on. After being immersed in novels for ten years, no one heard about them, but once they became famous all over the world, this is a true portrayal of society, and it is also a reward for those who work bravely.
Real, plain but exciting
I feel that in this book, there is survival, confusion, redemption, hope, and finally success. The emotions in the book are very delicate
Very warm and wonderful
Praising the greatness of love
The emotional aspect of Japanese literature is really good
The ending is a bit intriguing, but the story is still happy.
This novel is very good to read
The writing is excellent and the emotions are sincere, but the ending is a bit contrived.
A book that is plain to read but makes you laugh and cry. It is so well written.
The final winner was a book about the happy lives of living people.
After all, it's a hopeful book that wins the prize.
