My Tenth Year as a Tree

In the tenth year after turning into a tree, "I" who was out of touch with society got rid of the identity of a housewife, got rid of the ten years of living supported by her husband, and left the body of the tree (home) that trapped "me" indifferently.

Magpies are not "unfree because they have a family". Peppa Pig wants to eat meat, so the magpie disappears, and there will be no more magpies in the future. I think it's "because family hurts friends"

Magpie is Shu's unmarried and working friend, right?

Ah... So well written. The tree is a woman, should Peppa refer to a child? As for Magpie, I am a little unsure whether my understanding is what the author wants to express. In short, it is a very abstract, romantic and brutally realistic way of expression.

Don't get close to men, you will become unhappy

After the cook got married, I felt the writing became more profound.

It's so well written. I came from Pursuit of the Marriage Princess. At that time, I felt that the author's language had a bright and playful lightness, but in this understatement, he firmly captured the most touching parts of the story. This short article goes a step further in terms of emotion and detail, and the metaphor is natural and clever. I personally think it is more flavorful not to reveal it at the end, but it is indeed more clear when it is revealed.

The author writes so well! A short story with profound meaning, "Don't get close to men, you will become unhappy."

The magpies at the beginning should refer to friends who have not yet started a family and have their own careers. They have not yet been trapped in a house with firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, with free blue sky and gentle wind. But magpies will also get married later, and they will also be trapped by their families and bid farewell to freedom. They also have their own troubles and have no intention of caring about the beauty of the past. All they think about is how to live their lives every day. The big tree is trapped in a small space, and the magpie is never free.

The author's writing is good, but I don't quite understand what the magpie represents. After reading what the sisters said in the comment area, I decided to see if I can understand it next time.
