She and her mother "Yu" were dependent on each other, while "Yu"'s kind-hearted boyfriend Di Ke died in an accidental car accident.

Reader comments
I have always liked the works of Haruki Murakami. He has a very thorough understanding of loneliness, death, and some of the meaning of life. For me, his works are a ray of light in my life, illuminating many sleepless nights.
This is the second time I read it. The first time I read it was more than 10 years ago. Now I am the same age as the protagonist, 34.
There are two points that confuse me the most. The first is that like Toru Watanabe in Norway, why is it that a boring and average-looking protagonist can always sleep with good-looking girls so easily? ! I'm jealous
The second is that Gotanda is similar to Nagazawa in Norway. The protagonist still has such a handsome, charming and elite classmate, and he can also sleep with a good-looking girl through the classmate. Is this kind of character the author's ideal self-model?
Also, the storyline about Xue You seems unreasonable, and I forgot the details.
Overall, this novel is quite to my liking. I like it.
From beginning to end, it is filled with loneliness and insecurity, the desire for intimacy, and the fear of death, and it becomes more and more intense.
Although there is no lack of mystery and fantasy, the essence is the feeling of life, how ordinary and not-so-ordinary people spend their time, what the people around them bring, what they take away, what should be cherished...
From the "I" in the book, I can see the loneliness after divorce in middle age, the constant search for friends, and the despair and fear caused by the death of friends one after another. Through "I", I understand that everyone has their own way of living, and that everyone has a sense of powerlessness that cannot be controlled. However, "I" fights against this sense of powerlessness by dancing non-stop through the encouragement of the Sheep Man. Finally found my suitable stage
It explains the multi-faceted nature of life. Everyone has his own destiny and performs his own duties. On the other hand, he faces the in-depth study of reality, the fear of loneliness, the persistence of loved ones, and the expectations of friends.
Angry unity of opposites,
You have to keep dancing according to the steps, which means you have to follow the rules to survive. You have to dance even if you don't want to, and you have to live.
