Geisha***

This book gave me a very depressing feeling from the first word to the last word, even though it has a good ending. Whether it is Mameha, Sayuri, or Pumpkin, these women who were forced or took the initiative to become geisha in order to survive, if in this era, most of them might become intellectuals The best among them are at least the women who are praised by the people around them, such as Mameha who is like a fish in water, smart Hatsumomo, tenacious Sayuri, and Pumpkin with a lovable nature. No matter the ending is good or bad, they are all victims of that era. Perhaps the ending of this book is a comedy that can be considered happy, but its tragic core makes me sigh. (The above only represents my personal views)

A corner that I have never heard of or paid attention to, a vivid life full of shame, desire, and results... The greatest charm of a book is to make a reader want to keep reading, and this book has done that. I am very happy that her ending did not make me wait in vain for her to embrace and accompany the president. Although I would prefer that she describe every detail of her relationship with the president in detail, it is enough. It has helped me regain my peace after reading the entire book.

I have seen the movie adapted from this book, but the content in the book is richer and more specific than what is shown in the movie.

A good ending, but I really wanted to cry. From what I understand, the reason why Sayuri can be called lucky is mostly because her long-cherished wish comes true and has a pretty good result. Her almost stubborn persistence made me think about how we should choose in reality. Granted Sayuri seems to be right, I can't think of a better ending for her. But I have to say, until I see what happens later, I definitely don't think Sayuri and the minister's decision is a wise one. Even after seeing this ending, I still have doubts about the original decision. Imagine what would happen if things didn't go as planned, the president wasn't emotional, and the person who saw them was Yan? Sayuri may not have such a good ending for her, and then maybe she won't want to record this life. She is not the only geisha in the world who is so desperate. We are not lucky enough to know how those disappointed people are, but when making a choice, we will worry about whether we are lucky enough. Finally, we are happy for Sayuri. We don't know what will happen if she stays in the drunken house, and we don't know what will happen if her life is extended. But what she presents to us, whether it is her pursuit of life or the beautiful results, is worthy of our happiness for her.

After reading the full article, Japan was invading China at that time. The Japanese are still hateful

I was really moved after reading it. I can't explain why I was moved, but sadness and happiness ebb and flow with the text. I have always liked to read stories that span a lot of time. I like to see a group of many people go from prosperity to extinction. I like the sadness and helplessness in it, just like the falling white patch in Dream of Red Mansions. The vast earth is so clean. I thought it would end in pain, but I didn't expect it to be so prosperous and beautiful in the end. The curtain ended on this shore and the flowers bloomed on the other shore. This is a book that realizes hope, because it is spoken by a geisha and it really happened in reality. Through this, I rethink hope. It may be the most impossible thing at the moment, but from now on, I am willing to trust it more.

No matter what, this book has great charm for readers. Maybe the president is not a person who appears in Chiyo's life from beginning to end, but he is the person who truly accompanies Sayuri's life.

After reading this book, you will have a new understanding of Japanese geisha. Sayuri's desolate and lucky life can be regarded as a legend. She struggled to survive among men, retaining her belief in love deep in her heart. She used her wisdom to obtain the president, and this effort also provided an opportunity for her subsequent life changes. This story describes Sayuri's mental journey in a very delicate and gripping way, making us unconsciously follow Sayuri to peer into the various hidden and complex human natures. The ending of the story is so dramatic that it makes people sigh.

In my mind, Hatsumomo is a petite and beautiful woman. There is no one who does not love Hatsumomo, and there is no one who is not bitten by her viciousness. She is a beautiful snake. The geishas in it can all be described. Mameha is a perfect young lady who has achieved a high status and deals with men. She is so perfect but cannot get the love of the baron. Only Sayuri, I have seen her life like this, and I don't know what to say. Maybe famous books have one thing in common, that is, after reading it, I feel uncomfortable and have mixed feelings in my heart. His favorite character in it is Nobu, a man who hates geisha but likes Sayuri. He thinks Sayuri is the same person as him. This is what he guessed correctly, but the person Sayuri wants to go to is never him. At the same time, he has his own standards and doesn't like what he can't get. However, this is also one of the bad qualities of men, the desire to control. The geishas there all seem gorgeous, sought after by men, and spend a lot of money, but they are still just like men's playthings. Geishas all want to find salvation in the pleasure ground, but who of the serious men will go to the pleasure ground?

Xiao Baihe's ups and downs and lucky life make people sigh. The suffering of life has made her successful, and it is also because of the hope that she has always insisted on that she "naturally fell from the tree into the president's arms." "When you get over the suffering and difficulties, you can talk about the suffering in peace." The words in the book are very comfortable to read. The delicate descriptions and humorous sentences are heart-wrenching, but occasionally bring a touch of warmth. It is worth reading, and I want to buy the paper book and read it again.

At the end, it was actually the president who asked Mameha to help Sayuri. In the process of Chiyo becoming Sayuri Nitta, although the two people did not have much contact, they were able to come together in the end, which can be considered a kind of satisfaction. But Yan is more embarrassed. He and Sayuri, whom he loves passionately, have gone through ups and downs, but in the end they still can't get together, which makes him feel a little sad for no reason.

Little Chiyo gives me a feeling of being innocent and stubborn at the same time. The people she met when she was young shocked her throughout her life, and they also laid the foundation for many things that happened after that. She is lucky to meet noble people, and she knows how to seize opportunities. Sayuri is beautiful, she gives in to the world, endures and tolerates for many years, and always has hope in her heart. She seems to be doing whatever it takes to survive and pursue her dreams, but in fact the sadness of human nature is also fully revealed. Looking back on this ups and downs of life, no one can say anything about such a great geisha. It's just that I've always been thinking, if she can't get Yan's forgiveness throughout her life, will she have any regrets about seducing the minister?

I was a little depressed after reading it, but I was thinking like many friends who commented: Why did Sayuri let down the friendship that had been waiting for her? However, Nobu has only ever known the glamorous Sayuri. Only the president knew that there was such a dusty Chiyo with a pair of stunning and endearing eyes. Nobu loves something that does not belong to him, but the Sayuri he falls in love with is just a beautifully packaged geisha. Their first acquaintance was carefully planned. In order to survive in the geisha, Sayuri can only try her best to please him, as well as the doctor and others. In fact, I think, if the president had not given in to Yan and chosen to bid for Sayuri, would she have discovered that the man she was pursuing as a target was just an ordinary man? Perhaps it was precisely because the president chose to keep a distance from Sayuri that she had a desire to chase the unattainable.

Love in troubled times, fortunately, lovers eventually get married

The first half of Sayuri's life was unfortunate. She experienced leaving her parents at a young age, being sold as a geisha, separated from her sister, and being made things difficult for Hatsumomo. These tortures did not knock her down, but as she slowly grew up, she met Mameha (the so-called nobleman) and gradually walked out of her own world. In this world, she experienced ignorant love and hatred, and was finally lucky enough to be with the president. The so-called love at first sight is probably nothing more than that! A woman's life is a moving story, and lucky people will live it up as legends.

When I read this book, I stepped into Chiyo's world and was nervous, happy or sad with her. I still can't understand many things in the book. Maybe I will understand when I grow up.

I spent a week or so at night reading this book intermittently. From the moment I opened this book, I had no idea that I was about to read a person's troubled life. I also seem to have been good friends with Pumpkin, Su Tao's beauty seems to be still in front of me, my gratitude to Mameye is still vivid in my mind, and my love for the president has not yet dissipated. However, things have changed, people around me are constantly changing, and times are constantly changing. I am like Chiyo or Sayuri, spending this future that I never imagined when I was a child. It seems that I am still living in a drunken house, looking at my sick mother, my speechless father, and Sazu. It seems that I also fell in love with the president, but I also fell in love with Nobu. This stubborn person may not be in love, but moved. Nobu changed Sayuri's life trajectory too much. If possible, I really want to meet Sayuri, chat with her about the weather, and see how she will answer? I want to see her sad dance, how much longing is there? Want to see how mysterious her eyes are that color her whole life? I like Sayuri, I like this person's life, I respect her, I really want to fall in love with her, she is so charming, I like her metaphors, and every time I look forward to what metaphor she will use in the next sentence, her words are so interesting and vivid, I want to be friends with her. I want to be lifelong friends with her. Thanks to this book, I made a good friend. Chiyo, how are you doing now? It's a sunny day here today, and I seem to have seen you standing in the sun when you were visiting the painter during your apprenticeship days. How beautiful would that be? Chiyo, I hope you can be happy, I hope you can be happy, Chiyo, how is the weather today?

Maybe life is like this. I used to think that a person must be as pure and flawless as a saint to live a good life. Later I discovered that many things were not important anymore, and death was not a terrible thing sometimes.

The book has been named "one of America's most popular books." This is a work written by American writer Arthur Gordon in the first person after interviewing a very high-status Japanese geisha about her life. The protagonist's name is Chiyo. During Chiyo's childhood, her family was in poverty, and her father sold the two sisters to the Kyoto Prefecture Garden Museum. Chiyo, who was 9 years old, became a servant of the garden museum, and was later sent to a geisha school by her "mother" in the geisha. In the daily hard and busy life, she met the man who influenced her life - the president. Destiny starts to change from now on... Chiyo decided to change her name to Sayuri, worked hard to learn all the skills to become an excellent geisha, and gradually gained the favor of many dignitaries at the time. She became famous, defeated the arrogant and domineering Hatsumomo of the geisha, and became the successor of the geisha. And the biggest reason why she keeps working hard is the president who she has been silently liking. The tortuous story also unfolds...

The metaphors that the little girl uttered casually when describing herself always make people amazed. This is talent and aura, right🤔

It's a very good book. The author said that although he went through many hardships, he finally achieved perfection without any resentment, and regarded the setbacks in life as inevitable hardships in life. Use your own diligence, courage, and struggle to finally achieve happiness.

After reading it, I still feel that Sayuri failed Nobu. (And don't you think Chiyo sounds better than Sayuri?)

Yan is really good, I can't help but feel sad...

Bai Yueguang may always be irreplaceable.

Sayuri, who was born in a poor fishing village, was sold to a well-known geisha house in Kyoto, starting her miserable life. Sayuri learned dance, tea art, etc. There, and gradually became the top geisha in the area. By chance, Mamiwa, a well-known geisha in Japan, wanted to recognize Sayuri as her "sister". This changed the story of Sayuri's life. Through the character of Geisha Sayuri as a clue, it shows various cultural and social problems in Japan at that time. Under the glamorous skin, there is a heart struggling with survival and dreams.

How can I accept others after I have Bai Yueguang in my heart? People are often more willing to choose the one they love than the one who loves them. The love is deep and irrepressible. Good friends also look at the same and only important thing. Some people don't get it and are sad and happy for their friends at the same time. Some people don't get it and hate the other person for taking away the thing they care about most. Some people know that their friends want it very much, so they help their friends get it even if they also want it very much. They pretend that they don't want it at all because they know that the other person will definitely cut off love if they know that they want it. When I saw the plot where the President of the Pumpkin Belt bumped into Sayuri and the minister, I felt like the sky was falling, as if I was Sayuri at that time. I should stop watching. I thought, it would definitely be over after that. After hesitation, I continued to watch, and there was a turning point! Happy ending eh~

It can only be said that people with different cultural backgrounds have very different value choices. The geisha industry that became popular in Japan is very incomprehensible at present, but at the time it was probably very similar to the brothel girls in ancient China.

It is hard to imagine that this is an oral memoir, full of interesting metaphors, rich and real plots, a satisfactory ending, and "my" perception of destiny and insight into world affairs. Through this book, I can truly understand a hidden and great corner. I want to bow deeply to the author.

I have met many people in my life They are like fireworks between fingers, flickering on and off In the end, it was reduced to ashes But you are different. You are like Beidou, shining in my whole life.

I haven't finished reading it yet, but I learned a lot from the book that I didn't know before, so it was worth it.
