She is Anna. She tried her best to live out four lives: she was a fashion magazine editor from a well-off family; she was a pianist who returned to China to pursue her dream; she was a trusted young doctor; and she was a professional novelist.
She bounces between multiple careers and multiple identities, intending to use lies to rewrite her destiny, and exchange her prominent identity for love, fame and respect... However, when she replaces hard work with ambition, exchanges vanity for glory, and fills the journey of life with endless lies - what awaits her is only restlessness, hopelessness and destruction. She is Li Yumei. She is not Anna.
Reader comments
I haven't seen the show but heard about it, so I opened this book.
Whether it is a reporter or Lee Yu-mi, or even the reporter's mother, Lee Yu-mi's mother, Jane's mother, or herself, it will not be any easier for women to face the difficulties of marriage, career, family, and childcare depending on their status. In addition to the physical difficulties that arise as you age, women in their best years have to face them because of their children, but few people understand them.
For jobs that require brainpower and creativity, the confusion and pain of lacking creativity and memory can make people despair. Other physically and physically demanding jobs can also become difficult due to post-childbirth changes, coupled with the difficulty of finding a job.
The reporter is trapped in one kind of life and struggling, and Li Youmei has tried four kinds of life, which is also a dilemma. What kind of life is the way out?
Watch the TV series first and then read the novel. The TV series is a bit similar to Shuangwen. Li Yumo has a psychological awakening and growth, and finally fights back. But the novel is more cruel than the TV series. There is no positive psychological description of Li Yumei, only a fleeting glance of "I" at the strange woman at the end. It's not even certain that the woman is Yumi. What on earth was she thinking? Has she ever had a hint of remorse? Has she ever been sincere towards those men? All were deliberately erased by the author. She becomes an empty symbol, and readers can never really get into her. I think this is what the novel wants to express: a life filled with lies will eventually dissolve even the "self". Lee Yumi may still continue to play another person in a corner, or she may have disappeared long ago. She became a vague rumor, an urban legend that could not be verified. There is no judgment, no redemption, no reconciliation.
I couldn't help but watch the drama when I was halfway through the book. I found that the drama had many adaptations, so I felt like I was watching two different stories.
I came from the drama, but I haven't finished watching it, and I don't think it's as attractive as the TV series. Reading this book gave me a feeling of half-death and powerlessness. Although the drama version also felt half-dead and powerless, I felt that the obsession to survive and reach the goal was particularly strong.
After reading the whole book, I felt very complicated. The book is more complicated than the TV series it is adapted from. I don't know from beginning to end whether Anna's life experience is all true. Is there really such a person? It must be very tiring to wear different masks to pretend to live in such a complicated and tortuous life.
But she is still trying hard to pretend and live
I thought Jane and her story were true, and I worked hard to hope that it was true, and that her exhausted soul would find a home.
But later I found out it was fake
Just like life is not a utopia, we still have to face reality. To a certain extent, who is not Lee Yumi?
Li Yumi is actually probably an ordinary person. Everyone spends his life just playing his own role, trying to use the outside to whitewash himself and explain himself.
Because we don't know what kind of person we are, we look forward to others. On every street, in every place, everyone who walks by, will there be something in her that we want to be like?
Whether they are people who are crazy about love, people who are satisfied with their ambitions, or wanderers, they all have a fulfilling self, and they can only see themselves.
People's emotional expressions and career choices are all playing a role in the eyes of others. Women, men, old people and children, everyone does not meet the position of society. If they want to grasp themselves, they have to worry about the eyes of others.
I haven't watched the show, but I've heard about the content bit by bit, and the original novel is more realistic. The author and Anna have so much in common in the early stage. Based on the drama version, I thought the author was exploring and playing Anna, but no, she made a very realistic choice. She was curious and alienated at the same time. She watched Anna's life with a passerby's mentality to satisfy her curiosity and the fantasy in her mind. When she woke up from the dream, she would just relive it and not think about how to realize the dream. Overall, the reading experience is quite pleasant. I give it five stars.
This book is very good! The characters in the book constantly use lies to package themselves in order to pursue the life they want, which touched me very much. As a father, I feel that educating children should be down-to-earth, and honesty and trustworthiness are the most important things. But this book also made me think, do people sometimes do whatever it takes to pursue a better life? This is a question worth pondering. Overall, this is a very enlightening novel.
The second Anna wrote about the experiences of two women
There are many very real marriage and relationship situations that touch my heart (there are also human nature and life)
Each chapter uses Yumi/author + interview (other people) + Yumi/author. It is very unique and novel. The lives of two people are intertwined and narrated.
Li Youmei's story has ups and downs and makes you feel that you can have sex with you. Of course, it does not refer to ability, but to the truth. This cruel truth, the possibility of perfection, every step is well-founded, which makes me believe that a beautiful woman will indeed fall in love with a fat man, an old man, and that the old rich man does not marry his petite wife for lust.
The narrative of less than 90,000 words gave me the illusion that I had actually read six thick diaries written by her.
I feel that what is written in the diary is also my story. However, I have not experienced the same thing as her. What's more, I never wanted to be a man. Maybe it's because the two of us are very similar, and both have a certain aversion to life, which becomes a huge black hole running through our hearts. ——Zero potential (658)
To see yourself clearly is actually to look back at society. The purpose of living is to reproduce future generations, or to make yourself live a better life. In this world, no one lives better than anyone else. More, they are just trying to keep themselves alive and find excuses and courage to live.
Although I have only read one-third of the novel so far, the dilemmas faced by women in marriage and family described by the author are very realistic. The life faced by women at the bottom of society is far more difficult than I imagined.
It's amazing. Li Youshang is quite capable and can disguise himself to this extent.
I watched Bae Suzy's TV show before. Anna, I can't calm down for a long time. Have a chance to read the novel. The novel is more exciting.
I prefer the drama version. Compared to the TV series, the plot in the book is a little less exciting.
I like this narrative method, the story is simple, vivid and attractive.
Very delicate writing
Okay, okay, looks good
I bought this book. When I read it, I thought it was well written and interesting. But I didn't expect that Tomato would have this book.
Interesting, exploring another person's life, albeit virtually
This book made me feel a lot. I really like the writing style that makes people melancholy as soon as I read it.
The front looks good. This reversal is so... It feels like it lowers the level of the article all of a sudden.
What a bizarre story, what a mysterious person [exploration]
This novel has a wonderful reading experience, and there may be awkward words and confusing pronouns, but it is intriguing to recall after reading it all. Some people are sinking and others are sinking.
It's a completely different story from the Korean drama Anna, but it's also very exciting and worth watching.
The story of the novel is very literary, utopian, and very dreamy. The TV series has intensified the realistic part and turned it into a story about chasing fame and fortune.
