Sheep Hunting Adventures

"No matter how mediocre and boring this world is, it is my world after all." Haruki Murakami is that kind of writer. Before you read him, and after you read him, you will be completely two different types of people. ★The first work of Haruki Murakami's career as a professional writer. Everyone's youth is an adventure. The final chapter of Murakami's "Youth Trilogy" is about escaping from boredom and entering life, and embarking on a sheep-hunting adventure. ★Major Chinese publishers of Haruki Murakami's works and translator Lin Shaohua join hands to jointly present a new revised edition of the hardcover series of Haruki Murakami's long works. ★Collaborating with the internationally renowned illustrator Noma Bar, the three colors of black, white and red depict the subtle blur in Murakami's works between the square and the circle. The overall presentation is both simple and classic. ★In terms of content, a lot of revisions have been made around foreign words, and the details that the author intentionally added emphasis in the original version have been restored. ★Lin Shaohua has updated the translation prefaces of many works and made minor adjustments to some of the tone and expressions in the translations. ★Supplement to the chronology of Haruki Murakami "I" was entrusted by my friend Mouse to use a scenic photo of a flock of sheep in Hokkaido to spread in an advertisement. The secretary of "Mr.", A right-wing giant in the advertising industry and politics, found "me" and forced "me" to find a sheep with a star pattern on its back in the photo within a month. In order to find that special sheep, the protagonist goes to Hokkaido with his girlfriend who has an earmold with incredibly beautiful ears. At the Dolphin Hotel in Sapporo, I accidentally found a photo similar to the scenery photo of a flock of sheep. The hotel owner's father, Dr. Yang, was once a business bureaucrat of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. He was entered by the sheep during an inspection. The sheep used Dr. Yang to establish a huge kingdom that controlled the entire Japan behind the scenes, and Dr. Yang became a "sheep shell" with a weird personality. Under the guidance of Dr. Sheep, "I" found the deep mountain ranch in the photo in Twelve Falls Town. There was a villa owned by Mouse's father, and here I met the mysterious Sheep Man. The Rat decided to commit suicide because he did not want to be manipulated by the Sheep. After setting up the explosive device, I went down the mountain, met "Mr."'S secretary, and was driven by "Mr."'S driver to the departing train. As the train started moving, explosions were heard from the mountains and black smoke billowed. After that, I returned to my hometown again, conveyed the rat's last regards to Jay, and then sat alone on the old breakwater and cried bitterly.
