The writing style is so good that it is unlikely that foreign persimmons can possess it. The interaction between the two people is really sober, restrained and self-aware between adults. I knew clearly in my heart that I fell in love with you, but I couldn't believe that I was really going to go on. But when you took a step back from me, I realized that the most painful thing in the world is "you have nothing to do with me." People like Bai Qinglin, who grew up under the constraints of their parents and lived within the framework of rules and regulations that were constructed countless times every step of the way, are bound to be attracted at a glance by Zhu Jingru, a warm and beautiful person who is as comfortable as the wind, does everything he wants, and does what he likes without hesitation and boldness. To be honest, anyone like Zhu Jingru would like him at first sight, but this kind of wind is always difficult to grasp unless he is willing to stay on his own. Fortunately, the two of them understood from beginning to end that this relationship could only be decided by the two of them, and there were no unnecessary plots mixed with other messy things.
How can I put it this way? This book is definitely the most romantic novel I have read so far. Zhu Jingru is so free. He can do whatever he wants and love who he wants to love. Bai Qinglin's life for more than thirty years was undoubtedly the opposite. He was self-denial and rigid. He strictly controlled all the variables in his life until he met Zhu Jingru. There are many love words in it that are really attractive. After all, if you can see my notes, you will find how many times I have underlined this book. Goodbye, I'm going to the next world! ! !
It's very beautiful. It's not the kind that flows slowly. Every step goes where I didn't expect it. Our Boss Bai has very little perception of love because he has been raised in a rigid way since he was a child. In addition, he has skin hunger and thirst and is unwilling to come into contact with others, so he seals himself in a shell. Here, Xiao Zhu is a particularly bright, public, and individual person. He is fearless and brave. He lives a life that many people want but cannot achieve. He is like a little sun, integrating into Boss Bai's life little by little until they become the most important people. It is a novel worth reading. Many times in this book, you can understand some meanings of life, such as traveling halfway around the world. Xiao Zhu is really free and easy. He will open a bar because he wants to know when the ship will sink, and he will chase after it without any scruples. Boss Qiubai, he is warm and bright, which makes people feel like a madman. This is indeed the case, a complete "madman". Then I hope that everyone can live like such a "madman", enjoy life, not escape, not be afraid, boldly explore, and boldly pursue love.
Brother Bai is the tree and Jingru is the wind. In the end, the fierce and direct wind blew the dull tree, and the tree also succeeded in letting the free wind stay for him. Brother Bo is dull and rigid, but after breaking the restraint later, he is crazy possessive and doting on Jane. Don't be too happy! Jingru is too free and romantic. He does whatever he wants to do immediately. The love he expresses is straightforward, passionate and fierce. He can plant wild flowers for the person he loves! ! ! Just like Mandheling and Futega, one is calm and the other is fierce! I really love it, the details are great, and the sentences are beautiful. As an art student, I can imagine those beautiful scenery. I highly recommend it! ! !
The wind sign is great, and they are so good at fishing. Both of them are masters. The contrast between self-restraint and hunger and thirst, the contrast between romantic fishing and innocence to death, the two collide, one breaks through the concept and longs for the heart, the other is desperate to be romantic until death, rush to each other, and the whole process is ambiguous. Along the way, it is thrilling and shocking. This is a love that most people can't talk about at all. It's too long, too difficult, and too touching.
That line "You are my North Star" really poked at me. It's been a long time since I've read a novel about "The Pursuit" because most of them are very sad. The characters and plot of this one really kept attracting me to read more. Seeing their ordinary life and their entanglements, the collision of rationality and sensibility, restraint and freedom really captured my heart. It's not a particularly passionate article. It's just ordinary honey. The pull of life has a dull yet passionate feeling. The author's writing style is also very good. I really love it.
Very interesting, this is my first time reading this kind of article. The pull between mature men, my mom, is all ambiguous. This sentence asked the tree: "What wish do you have?" The tree replied: "I hope you stay by my side for a second." And later, in order to give Qinglin a sense of security, Jingru made the Big Dipper always revolve around the North Star. "Good night, my North Star" is so sweet to me. And the descriptions of those environments are so beautiful. Like like like! ! ! There are always some people in the comment area who have read the full article and are excited. Oh, I want to read it.
It's very interesting. I also read the unabridged version. The author wrote a postscript (a letter to everyone) at the end of the article. I like the author's views on life and his attitude towards creation and literature. They say that reading is a dialogue with the author's soul. I think I like this interesting soul. She is as brave as Zhu Jingru, persisting in the face of many bad voices from the outside world, as he himself said, "If I can finish a story, then I am the best author." What's more, this story is not mediocre, to me, it is even more wonderful. The author said that bravery is the most glorious hymn of mankind. I saw it in Zhu Jingru. He is always brave, free and easy, and not bound by reality. This is what most people, including me, aspire to be. But in fact, relatively speaking, the person I can sympathize with more is Bai Qinglin. Just like his name, he is a lonely and dull cypress tree. His strict family education has resulted in his cautious character, which I think can even be called cowardice. But what moved me the most was his resistance that time (because he didn't want to be manipulated in his marriage anymore), because he was more like us ordinary people, and it was just that one time, but it was indeed valuable. But he is still cautious in his heart, and would rather miss it than get hurt. Maybe many people don't like this, and they all express their feelings for Zhu Jingru. But this is what really moved me. Isn't this what adult love should be like? Isn't that what a truly serious relationship should be like? Because of love, I am afraid of losing; because of love, I chase bravely; because of seriousness, I refuse again and again; because of seriousness, I never give up. Growth experience, family environment and other factors shape everyone's different personalities, so that everyone treats relationships differently. What I see in this book is that they are all working together, wishing the church to be brave, and Bai Chengquan to wish for freedom. This is what love should be like, and this is what love should be like. Maybe it is just because this is a novel, so his ending is quite satisfactory, but I like it very much. At the end, the author wishes us that "the sun shines on the golden mountain, and our wishes come true." Regardless of whether the author can see it or not, I wish the author and you here "peace and success, and all the best."
The writing is so good that there is nothing to say, and the gentle style describes the beauty of being in a small corner, one is naturally rebellious, and the other follows the rules. Zhu Jingru's love is vigorous and open, while Bai Qinglin's love is deep and restrained. Jingru's love at first sight, and then step by step, the two people are about to talk to each other. The pull between adults is not too exciting, and the sexual tension is full. Two people who have watched the sunrise will eventually be together. The wind asked the tree: "What is your wish?" The tree replied: "I hope you stay by my side for a second."
Vodka and Mandheling, the bar owner and the coffee shop owner, are related to the innocent and the iceberg of restraint. The title of the book is their occupation and also symbolizes their character. It is the 32-year-old boy who is always enthusiastic and public like vodka. It is the wind that dares to think and do and always moves with the heart. It is the bitter taste of chocolate for the first time and the gentle and mellow taste when it is tasted again like Mandheling. It is also the excitement and restlessness of hot oil meeting cold water. When you fall in love at first sight, you see the ascetic and cold appearance, but you fall in love with the calm and restrained temperament. When you meet again, you fall in love with the gentleness under the iceberg, and the desire for control under self-restraint and etiquette. The gloves that curb skin hunger are only willing to be taken off for him, the Jade Guanyin, which symbolizes self-control, can only be touched by him, and the unruly wind is only willing to stay for him. Vodka is the only variable in his regular life, and Mandheling is his only destination after traveling halfway around the world. He has done the ultimate emotional pull, the romance of a 30-year-old man, the roses on New Year's Eve, the starry sky in the Himalayas, the Jade Guanyin on the pillow, and the red rope weaved by hand. They are each other's North Star.
