Narcissus and Goldmund

Reason and sensibility, experience and proof, a prodigal son and a believer, one dreams of a girl and her mother, and the other dreams of a boy and his heavenly father. I guide you to become you, even if I let you experience it, I will not hesitate to love and desire other than myself. You are my only lover. I appear when you are ignorant, I respect you when you are wandering freely, and I save you when you are in jail and your actions are severely punished by the world. I, who never care about horses, count the dates for your precious colt. You indulge in lust, and I speak for the spirit. We complement each other, and we are one.

Isn't there anyone? It's quite beautiful. In the end, they finally understand that the person they love is each other.

It is said to be an earlier boy's novel, and a large part of it is devoted to Goldmund's adventurous life, which is quite exciting. It wasn't until the last few chapters that there was a clearer emotional line, and it was a bit difficult to reconcile.

(Excerpted from the movie of the same name) "Because... I love you more than I love myself. I can only always be your friend... But I can never love you."

Narcissus's rules and regulations are in sharp contrast to Goldmund's bohemianness. They are both people who understand the wisdom of life and love and respect each other. In the end, with her love for him, she stayed by Goldmund's side. There is never an answer to the pursuit of happiness and perfection in life. There are too many things you want in life, and there are always shortcomings. Understand, you can't live in other people's expectations, and you can pursue your own life to be complete. As for the responsibilities and responsibilities you shoulder, you can also let go at the right time. After all, it is just a stage of life. Put your wholeheartedly on yourself, and there will often be unexpected surprises [Love] Failure and success are not the most important. The process of chasing is itself a kind of enjoyment and a rare gain.

The storyline of this book is very attractive and allowed me to see the growth path of two young people with very different personalities. The author's writing style is concise and lively, and the characterization of the characters is delicate and nuanced, which made me feel the inner conflicts and struggles of the protagonists. Moreover, some of the thoughts in the book are also very enlightening, such as the discussion on spirituality and love, which made me enjoy reading it.

It's okay. At first I thought it would just tell the story of Narcissus and Goldmund, but seeing how little Narcissus appears, I quite like him. Anyway, I can watch it

The answers you spend your whole life searching for may have no meaning in themselves, but the whole process of searching is the process of knowing yourself and improving yourself. Don't lament the past, don't imagine the future, feel everything you have now, love everything passionately, and forget the joys and sorrows for a moment tonight.

It's very interesting. When I finished reading it, I felt a sense of pity, like "Huh? It's gone now?" And I also want to ask, do the last three chapters have anything to do with the previous ones?

Goldmund spent his life of wandering and pain, and finally taught the almost perfect Narcissus one thing: without love, or without the kind of attachment that can make people cry, the soul cannot truly rest.

Disadvantages: The philosophical metaphor is higher than the truth, and the pursuit of conceptual personification is too much, making the characters slightly flat. In short, they are not like real people. The Bodhi tree (if it is not a linden tree, but a linden tree, then the translator should be beaten) is this kitsch for Orientalism. In fact, he does not understand or want Buddhism at all. Every time the Bodhi tree appears, it means that he has entered a "state". If someone chooses this topic in comparative literature and world literature, I will laugh at them severely.

As Goldmund himself said, it was only when he was approaching death that he finally thought of the path to his mission - Narcissus.

Zhong Lingyu is beautiful and a masterpiece.
