Reader comments
Throughout the book, we can see Kikuji's psychological changes. From hating Chikako and wanting to get rid of Chikako's shackles to seeing her true nature and being relieved. In fact, every unfortunate person is a Kikuji. It takes a long time from hatred, disgust, revenge on others to complete self-healing. It's just that some people haven't finished it yet. Kikuji was also lucky, he met Mrs. Ota, Fumiko and Yukiko. They all helped Juzhi in the process of self-healing. Life is like a journey against the odds, and I am also a traveler. Difficulties and struggles in life must ultimately lead to self-breakthrough. In addition, there are a lot of descriptions of scenery in the book, which makes people immersed in the book and feel the Japanese scenery and people.
This book reminded me of my feelings when I first became a mother. The book explores love and human nature very deeply, and it also made me think more about family and family ties. Especially when I saw the description of the mole on Chikako's body in the book, I couldn't help but think of the unique mark on my own child. Every child is unique, just like Chikako's mole in the book, and these uniquenesses make us cherish them even more. This book is not only a literary work, but also a detailed observation of life and human nature, which has benefited me a lot.
Love is really complicated. To project love on your lover's son and constantly let your daughter have a relationship with the lover's son violates morality and carries sin. Committing suicide in pain, the next generation will have to atone for it.
Chikako, who is at the bottom of society, has low self-esteem and is paranoid. She tries to destroy the love-hate entanglement between the two generations and treats Kikuji like a family member, which is helpless.
The pure Yukiko is the hope of this group of people. Fumiko, Chikako, and Kikuji look for redemption and love in her to end all the past. Hate, complain, love, let go and then become whole again.
